Chapter 183 The Crow's Red Eyes
There wasn't time to form hand seals!
Shisui suddenly turned his head, the three tomoe in his Sharingan spun, and he activated his genjutsu, freezing one of Kazuma's clones in place. Then, using the Body Flicker Technique, he appeared above the clone and leaped high into the air, stepping on the clone's shoulder.
Just as the other three clones were about to give chase, the clone controlled by Shisui immediately sprang into action, standing in front of them and detonating the explosive tags.
Rumble!
In this narrow, maze-like passageway, the explosive tags' power was fully unleashed.
The surrounding walls were blasted with numerous cracks, but they did not collapse.
The fierce wind and flames filled the entire passage, and after being blocked by the walls, they shot into the sky, forming a huge, dazzling torch.
"Oh no, danger!"
Asuma gasped as he watched Shisui, who was almost engulfed in flames and suspended in mid-air.
In an attempt to dodge the flames, Shisui jumped too high and remained airborne for too long. With no footholds to gain leverage, he was unable to maneuver effectively and became an easy target.
Kyosuke frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncertain.
Although according to the original storyline, Shisui was an extremely talented ninja who wouldn't die at this time, as our strength increased, our influence on the plot grew, and everyone's fate became increasingly unpredictable.
It's entirely possible that some people who die young don't die, while others who die late die young.
We must act according to the situation; we cannot let Shisui die here.
Over the years, Kyosuke has put in a lot of acting skills and emotional investment in front of Shisui, hoping that Shisui will grow up and bring Kyosuke a rich return.
Shisui can die, but he cannot die in such a worthless way.
With that thought in mind, Kyosuke stopped talking and focused intently on the battle in the arena.
Seeing Kyosuke's unusually serious expression, Asuma guessed Kyosuke's plan and silently adjusted his physical state, preparing to cooperate with Kyosuke's attack.
Jiraiya sensed the changes in Kyosuke and Asuma, closed his eyes slightly to seek peace and quiet, and silently recited Buddhist mantras in his heart.
At this moment, Shisui is making a choice.
He knew the situation was critical and he had to get out of the air as soon as possible. He had ways to do this, such as using a summoned crow to cover himself or using a shadow clone to help his main body land, but he gave up on all of them.
My eyes and brain started to hurt; this was the consequence of overusing the Sharingan.
Muscles began to tire, chakra continued to deplete, and if the fight continued like this, even the last bit of strength for a counterattack would be used up. Even if they survived this crisis, they would ultimately be defeated by the opponent's attacks.
Since that's the case, we have no choice but to take the risk!
With that in mind, Shisui used Lightning Release.
Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent!
As Shisui's body fell through the air, he pressed his right hand against the wall beside him, and explosive lightning chakra erupted, forming a long snake that glowed with blue light, which instantly spread out along the wall.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Wherever the Razer snake passed, solid walls collapsed and crumbled, and within seconds, thunderous roars enveloped the entire labyrinth.
When the lightning disappeared, most of the maze had collapsed, and a large area around Shishui had been cleared.
The lightning dissipated, leaving only rubble scattered on the ground and dust billowing everywhere.
Zhi Shui landed in the dust, his face looking rather pale, his shoulders trembling with each breath, and sweat mixed with dust dripping from his forehead.
Several conspicuous white marks were left on Zhi Shui's dusty face.
Clearly, performing such a wide-range ninjutsu placed a huge burden on Shisui at this moment.
At this moment, Shisui could no longer maintain his Sharingan. He could only use his black pupils to nervously observe his surroundings, like a small animal in danger, filled with trepidation, ferocity, helplessness, and confusion. All sorts of emotions converged in his eyes, the windows to his soul.
The people in the stands clearly saw this as well. Although Shisui had amplified the power of the Lightning Serpent to an exaggerated degree, and they admired Shisui's ninjutsu skills, they all felt that this was Shisui's last brilliant performance.
This move did not cause any damage to Kazuma, nor did it change Shisui's unfavorable situation. Instead, it greatly depleted Shisui's already disadvantaged chakra and stamina.
"As expected, he's still a child. He impulsively chose to explode, without waiting for the situation to change."
Of course, some people admire Shisui.
"He's too young, and his strength is not as good as Kazuma's. It's already quite good that he's achieved this much."
Although everyone was young, they still acted like seniors when facing Shisui, who was only ten years old.
At this moment, Shisui appeared to be panting heavily and exhausted, but his heart was as calm as still water, like the most experienced hunter, lurking in a corner and silently waiting for his prey to take the bait.
He pushed himself to the limit, even abandoning his Sharingan, his greatest asset, all to lure out Kazuma and create an opportunity to turn the tide.
By putting themselves in a do-or-die situation, they actively created excellent attacking opportunities for Kazuma.
Of course, the success rate of this plan is not high.
Kazuma can continue the war of attrition and continue to use clones to probe; he may not necessarily attack with his main body.
Zhi Shui is gambling, gambling on the psychology of horses.
As a powerful ninja, he would definitely want to teach a rookie like himself a lesson and then put on airs and give him a lecture. This mentality, which could be called arrogance, the demeanor of a master, or a desire to save face, was Shisui's opportunity.
Zhi Shui wasn't betting on the intelligence of horses, but on the human heart.
Shisui knew that his plan was simple and easily exposed, with a very low chance of success.
But since Shisui really couldn't beat Kazuma, he originally had no chance of winning, but now that he had a slight chance of winning, he made a huge profit.
The root cause of resorting to stratagems is always insufficient strength.
If Shisui were strong enough to win easily, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.
Tick tock.
It seems there is a clock in Zhishui's heart.
Every tick of the second hand shook his mind, for it meant that the chances of him appearing with Ma had drastically decreased, and Shisui had taken another big step closer to the end of his life.
In battle, time is so precious. If Kazuma doesn't appear within a second or two, it means that Kazuma is very pragmatic and has no so-called "masterful demeanor" at all, and will not give Shisui the slightest chance to turn the tide.
finally come!
Even without the Sharingan, Shisui, through his calm and meticulous observation, felt a slight tremor in the ground beneath his feet.
On the surface, Zhi Shui pretended to be completely unaware, but inwardly he was secretly thrilled.
Hopefully, this is the other party's true form!
Shisui waited expectantly, and the crows circling in the sky seemed to sense Shisui's feelings. They all quietly shut their beaks, no longer making annoying cries, and lowered their flight altitude, quietly approaching Shisui's direction.
In the crow's red eyes, Shisui's figure grew larger and larger.
As Zhi Shui waited in vain, the ground beneath his feet turned into a pile of mud.
These muds contained special chakra and possessed a terrifying suction force. Shisui's body sank, and his ankles were instantly submerged.
"Oops!"
Shisui looked terrified, straining his muscles as if he were about to jump up and leave.
Unexpectedly, four huge rocks suddenly rose from the ground around him, forming a closed square space that blocked all of Zhi Shui's escape routes.
Meanwhile, the crows had flown to the top of Shisui's head, yet the sound of their wings flapping was barely audible.
Shisui was pushed back into the muddy ground, his calves already sank into the mud. He couldn't help but clench his teeth tightly, revealing a very tense but forced calm expression. He stretched out his slightly trembling hands and began to form hand seals, seemingly trying to use ninjutsu to get out of the predicament.
"Heh, goodbye, Konoha's genius!"
At that moment, a cold voice rang out. Shisui turned his head and saw that half of Kazuma's body had emerged from the rocks on his right, raising a kunai and thrusting it at him.
The cold light of the kunai had already entered Shisui's black pupils and also landed in the red pupils of the crows.
