Chapter 21: Shen Yue's Strength, Shisui's Relief and Shock.
Shenyue left Princess Liuli's palace.
Their figures moved silently back to the courtyard where their team was temporarily staying, like night birds returning to their nests.
He realized something was wrong when he was still some distance away.
Far away, on the rooftop.
An unusual silhouette that almost blends into the shadows, very inconspicuous.
If it weren't for the Sharingan's extraordinary observational abilities...
He might not even realize that someone was secretly taking this.
"At this hour, someone still comes. Let me see who's not afraid of death?" Shen Yue sneered inwardly, her figure flashing as she quietly crept up behind the other party.
the other side.
Zhi Shui stood on the roof.
Looking down at Qing Shui and Tie Shu, who were on guard, their eyes darted around, a hint of doubt in their gazes.
"Where are the Shingetsu people? Where could they go so late at night?" he asked curiously.
Suddenly, Zhi Shui tensed up, a chill instantly filling his body, as if a ferocious beast was rapidly approaching.
"not good!"
"The Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
The water stopped reacted extremely quickly; its figure vanished from its original spot in an instant, teleporting dozens of meters away.
And the spot where he had just stood.
Shen Yue delivered a swift and precise hand strike, accompanied by an extremely sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.
If he had reacted even a fraction of a second slower, he would have been hit directly.
The first strike missed.
Shen Yue didn't pause at all and suddenly turned her head.
Blood-red eyes stood out starkly in the darkness.
"Sharingan, Shingetsu!" Shisui's expression relaxed when he saw that the person who attacked him was Shingetsu, and he was about to greet him.
However, Shenyue did not stop, but continued her fierce attack.
He walked at an extremely fast pace, his speed soaring, instantly closing the distance between himself and Shisui once again. His right leg lashed out like a whip, creating a low, whistling sound as it broke through the air.
"What amazing taijutsu! In that case, I'll give you some pointers!" Shisui became interested when he saw that Shingetsu hadn't stopped.
He ducked to avoid the sweeping motion and then delivered an elbow strike to Shen Yue's ribs.
The two fought on the rooftop, their fists and feet clashing with rapid movements, producing muffled "bang" sounds. However, they tacitly refrained from using ninjutsu or making too much noise to alert the mansion's guards.
After only seven or eight rounds, the two exchanged a few moves, neither able to truly suppress the other. They then simultaneously took a step back, creating distance between themselves, and confronted each other at the edge where the moonlight could barely reach.
"Shingetsu, your taijutsu is even more impressive than I imagined." Shisui smiled and shook his slightly numb arm, his eyes revealing undisguised surprise and satisfaction.
In that brief exchange, Shen Yue displayed speed, strength, and responsiveness that were unlike those of a ten-year-old child, and were even comparable to many seasoned Jonin.
In particular, his composure and precision during battle far surpassed that of his peers.
Shen Yue also stopped his stance, his crimson Sharingan returning to its normal black. He tilted his head, his face filled with undisguised confusion: "Brother Shisui? What are you doing here? And why are you acting so suspiciously?"
At this moment, Qing Shui and Tie Shu, who had heard the commotion below, also rushed out. When they saw that it was Zhi Shui, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was Brother Zhishui! You gave us quite a scare!"
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you!" Zhi Shui nodded to Qing Shui and Tie Shu as a greeting.
He looked at Shenyue, his expression serious, and said in a low voice, "Shenyue, I rushed here overnight because I received news that someone wants to harm you. I was worried, so I came to check on you and also to remind you to be extremely careful on your way back to the village."
"Who's so brave as to dare to harm the captain?!" Qing Shui and Tie Shu's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
Since Kamizuki joined the Konoha Police Force, all they've seen is their own captain dealing with others; no one has dared to challenge Kamizuki.
Shen Yue, however, seemed to have anticipated this and did not react much.
"Oh? Attacking me? Could it be that old scoundrel Shimura Danzo?"
"How did you know?" Upon hearing this, Shisui's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at Shingetsu's still childish yet unusually calm face, feeling utterly shocked.
Danzo's murderous intent and schemes should only be known to a very small number of Root's core members. How did Kamizuki, who was far away in the capital, find out about them?
Seeing Shisui's reaction, Shingetsu pursed his lips.
"Is that even a guess? In Konoha, who else, besides that old schemer who hides in the shadows all day, would have the ability and the guts to do something like this if they didn't like me?" he said.
"However, unless that old scoundrel Danzo is willing to risk his life to personally intercept and kill me, his few lousy underlings are just handing me money!"
"If Brother Shisui doesn't believe me, I'll show you something good!"
Seemingly sensing the doubt and worry in Shisui's eyes, Shingetsu suddenly blinked, and his eyes, which had just returned to black, instantly turned scarlet again, with the three tomoe slowly rotating.
The next moment, Shisui felt the scene before him blur and change, as if Shenyue was using illusion magic to replay scenes.
The scene shows him instantly defeating Sarutobi Asuma in Konoha.
Furthermore, within the capital, facing Kurozumi's lightning-fast Iaijutsu, imbued with blue chakra, Shingetsu moved with ghostly agility, his Sharingan precisely capturing the trajectory. With exquisite footwork and a fierce counterattack, he killed Kurozumi in the blink of an eye.
The image is so clear that you can almost feel the sharp blade and the burst of chakra at that moment.
"Your Sharingan is so powerful that it must be the strongest under the Mangekyou Sharingan! I never imagined you would grow to this level!" Shisui couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
It wasn't because the battle scenes were particularly dangerous, but rather the strength, temperament, and methods that Kamizuki displayed, as well as the abilities he possessed with his Sharingan.
This was completely beyond his expectations!
That was not just talent, but a kind of almost instinctive combat wisdom and a decisiveness and ruthlessness beyond his years.
"Brother Shisui, do you believe what I'm saying now?" The crimson in Shenyue's eyes faded, and he returned to normal.
"Our captain is amazing!" Qing Shui and Tie Shu were completely confused. They only saw Shen Yue's eyes redden and Zhi Shui's brother look shocked. Although they didn't understand, they believed Shen Yue's words without a doubt and immediately straightened their chests, feeling proud.
"Now I can rest assured. Shingetsu, as expected of someone whom Chief Fugaku values!" Shisui took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
He looked at Shenyue with a complex expression, a mixture of relief, shock, and a deeper worry.
The speed and direction of Shen Yue's growth seem to have deviated from his original expectations.
But in any case, the boy in front of him was no longer the cousin he needed to carefully protect behind him.
"In that case, I'll return to Konoha!" he said, turning to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Shingetsu quickly called out to Shisui.
