Kuroto's mindset at this moment is very good. He knows that at this moment Shisui is definitely not going to use Mangekyo Sharingan or any abilities related to it.
So, what they would be competing against would be basic skills.
Kuroto is sure that he has equal or higher chakra volume then Shisui, the Tenseigan are extremely resistant to Genjutsu, although his ninjutsu skills are not very apt, they can be compensated with his taijutsu proficiency in Gentle Fist.
Therefore, his chances of winning are not small.
As Shisui slowly approached the training grounds, he did a short courteous bow to Kuroto, and spoke politely, "Kuroto-senpai let's do our best."
Kuroto nodded at Shisui's words and after both made the Seal of Confrontation.
The referee around gave the instruction to begin the combat.
"The Test Begins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, Kuroto and Shisui entered subconsciously entered the battle state.
The first shot was taken by Shisui and instantly he shot about a dozen Shurikens.
Clank...
Clank...
Clank...
Some of these shurikens collided with each other midair, changing their respective flight trajectories, either forward or backward, or left or right, as a result, they covered the entire sky towards Kuroto.
Although Kuroto has seen Itachi Shirikenjutsu skills during their mission together but again seeing Shisui's skills in Shurikenjutsu, Kuroto was still stunned.
Whether the angle of throw or application of the amount of strength used in each throw is simply impeccable. Even with the Tenseigan, Kuroto can't find any escape route left to dodge the incoming shurikens.
Reducing his impetuosity, Kuroto decided to take the action, and at the very next he shot eight Shurikens.
Ding… Ding… Ding… Dang… Dang… Dang…
Suddenly, the impact of the Shuriken intercepting each other resounded throughout the examination site.
Watching the dazzling Shurikenjutsu battle, the Chunin all held their breath one-by-one. Those who can advance up to such proficiency in throwing skills are naturally regarded as specialized in Shurikenjutsu. And this can be clearly seen from the battle taking place on the stage.
"Look, those Shurikens blocked by Kuroto's throw are starting to move again!" However, Guy's sudden exclamation said something else.
Asuma said with a solemn face, "It's Wire String, Shisui uses specially treated steel wires to manipulate Shurikens, if you don't look very carefully, it is really difficult to find them!"
The audience also exclaimed, but it didn't affect Kuroto on the stage.
Kuroto obviously knows of Uchiha's Special Shurikenjutsu, so how could he not pay attention to the second stage of the opponent's attack, so when he counterattacked, he already directed his attacks at the Wire String that connected Shurikens.
It's just that these Wire String are specially treated, therefore not only are they extra durable, but also very hard to find because of not reflecting any light, even with the Tenseigan; Kuroto is unable to find them individually moving at such high speed.
Additionally, Shisui's manipulating skills are also very sophisticated, so after a while, Kuroto still missed a few Wire String.
The consequence of this small mistake quickly reflected in him falling into a disadvantage.
Another mistake is that Kuroto didn't bring too many Shurikens with him, he came slightly unprepared because the shurikens weren't available in his stock, and within a few seconds his shuriken stock was emptied, on the other hand, Shisui took out a scroll, unsealed it and suddenly countless shurikens popped out of the smoke.
Chained by the Wire Steel, these Shurikens fly up and down in the air forming a network, as if they were illusionary.
For a second Kuroto even felt that Shisui was manipulating these Shurikens telekinetically instead of manually through the wires!
Kuroto muttered with a somber expression in his heart, "Can Shurikenjutsu even be used with such an advanced mastery?"
Off grounds.........…...
Asuma shook his head seeing the pressing situation of Kuroto, "Kuroto is about to lose, this Shisui is, even more, stronger than I anticipated!"
Guy stared at the two people who were in mid-confrontation and said without turning his head: "Don't be so hast in making your judgment, they are just warming-up, look at them, Kuroto hasn't even moved from his spot at all."
As Guy said, as soon as Kuroto realized that just having the Tenseigan alone would not make up the difference in his Shurikenjutsu Skills, that Shisui enhanced and mastered with countless hours of practice, so Kuroto gave up the entanglement of Shurikenjutsu decisively and rushed straight towards Shisui.
Taijutsu combat is where Kuroto is advantageous!
Seeing the Kuroto's aggressively rush towards him, Shisui's fingers moved slightly, his movements were so light and so controlled that all the shurikens flying around immediately shot towards incoming Kuroto.
"Revolving Heaven!"
After several months of continuous training, Kuroto has become very proficient in Revolving Heaven, and now he can use it in his combat very easily, anytime, anywhere, any sec.
Clink… Clink… Clink...
The impact of Revolving resulted in countless shurikens blasted into the sky causing pain in the eardrums of the audience present, and the shurikens that were bounced into the sky flew in all directions towards the audience.
"Doton: Taju Doryuheki" [Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Wall]
Sandaime-sama quickly used Earth Release and four earth walls were erected on the edge of battle range to block the incoming shurikens.
The Chunin ninjas watching the battle also retreated 10 meters behind.
Among them, Asuma heaved a sigh while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, "These two guys!"
Guy didn't seem to care, and laughed, "It is inevitable to take some risks to watch such a wonderful battle, this is YOUTH!"
"Hai Hai......"
On the battle range.
Not wasting the opportunity that appeared because of him using 'Revolving Heaven' Kuroto finally approached Shisui and shot out a palm strike, the force of the strike was unstoppable as Kuroto used all the strength in that strike!
Shisui was also not afraid, and immediately pulled out the Short sword on his back, and the three tomoe in his Sharingan were spinning rapidly as he intercepted Kuroto's attack.
In an instant, the two starting fighting a taijutsu battle.
The movements were so fast that after images started to appear all around.
One of the chunin in the audience was shocked and muttered, "What is up with their Taijutsu skills….? Is it just me or are they really appearing so weird?"
The other Chunin watching the battle agreed and nodded.
Kuroto and Shisui's fierce taijutsu battle really seemed a little weird. Their attacks would always stop abruptly midway, often slashing in the midair and suddenly stopping their attacks, or a sudden change of direction of the following attack just after the previously stopped strike.
Even after a series of attacks, either of them has yet to make a complete attack.
Most of the time, they are repeatedly switching their choice of attack, changing strikes, or forcibly stopping midway, and because they are doing all these actions instantaneously, that in the eyes of bystanders, their taijutsu battle appears really weird.
Asuma on the other hand said in disbelief, "So frequent predictions and corrections!? Their insight and perception are getting too exaggerated, is it even possible to have such an advanced battle foresight!?"
Asuma's words seemed to speak the collective thoughts of the audience, and suddenly everyone came up with an idea, "Is it possible to do whatever you want with Dojutsu Kekkai Genkai!!???"
Sandaime Hokage also flicked their eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
The Anbu standing on the side asked softly, "Sandaime-sama, they are intentionally competing with their Pupil Power, right?"
Sandaime-sama nodded at Anbu's words, he wanted to explain more about his thoughts about this, but before he could the two on the battle range suddenly separated and retreated to a corner....
