Chapter 42: Fire Ignited
"What is that?"
"A green giant?"
Gasps of surprise erupted from the audience!
The final match of the Chunin Exam was full of unexpected events.
Originally, the audience thought that Akihara Kagura's Wooden Dragon was unique, but then a green half-body giant appeared in the arena, slaying the Wooden Dragon with a single sword strike!
Everyone in the audience was staring intently at the situation in the arena, and they soon noticed two figures beneath the translucent shell of the green half-giant.
Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Shisui.
Without much speculation, many already understood the situation, as most of the ninjas in Konoha had heard of Uchiha Shisui's name.
"So it was Uchiha Shisui who saved Uchiha Itachi?"
"That green giant, is it Uchiha Shisui's technique? I didn't expect Uchiha Shisui to have such a technique!"
Compared to these ordinary people with limited perspective, some recognized Uchiha Shisui's technique, including many from the Uchiha clan who knew the name of this technique!
"The legendary Susanoo!"
"The highest realm of the Sharingan bloodline, a technique that can only be used by activating the Mangekyo Sharingan Shisui has already mastered Susanoo!"
The morale of the entire Uchiha clan was greatly boosted!
Originally, these Uchihas were shocked by Akihara Kagura's Wood Release techniques and even felt that the Uchiha clan had no future when Itachi was about to be defeated. Now, hope was suddenly rekindled in their hearts!
What does it matter if there is another Wood Release ninja in Konoha?
The Uchiha clan also has the Mangekyo Sharingan, which can counter Wood Release!
"Is this... the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Uchiha Itachi looked in amazement at the green Susanoo and then at his friend who had saved him from the crisis, unable to help but lower his head slowly.
That moment just now...
Uchiha Itachi almost thought he would die here.
However, at the moment when the Wooden Dragon was about to strike, Uchiha Shisui suddenly appeared beside him, activating Susanoo to block the Wooden Dragon's attack.
"Shisui... you shouldn't have saved me."
As a child who had always been good at thinking, and under Uchiha Shisui's guidance, Itachi had long understood the internal conflict between the clan and Konoha.
The impact of Susanoo was too great.
This is a dangerous technique.
Those are dangerous eyes.
Because anyone who obtains Uchiha Shisui's Mangeky Sharingan can use the Kotoamatsukami contained within these eyes, there is a possibility that they could use Kotoamatsukami on Akihara Kagura, and even just one Mangeky Sharingan would be enough.
Therefore, we must prevent anyone from getting the Kotoamatsukami Mangeky Sharingan, even Uchiha Shisui himself, the owner of these eyes...
Uchiha Shisui is not someone who can protect his own eyes, and being shackled by the ninja world's mindset, he never realizes that these eyes, if they fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, could cause great trouble for the ninja world.
Those who like to use such despicable methods, once they know the true power of Kotoamatsukami, will definitely not pass up the chance to obtain it.
Akihara Kagura is not that kind of person.
Such a method of forcibly altering someone's will using Kotoamatsukami and thereby forcing them to obey commands is too low-level.
"Boring."
Akihara Kagura slightly bowed his head.
"..."
Uchiha Itachi was somewhat at a loss.
Does this guy find fighting with me boring?
"Alright, alright."
Uchiha Shisui patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the outcome of a momentary fight. You two young ones have a long future ahead!"
After comforting Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui looked at Akihara Kagura with hope, "You both possess strong Kekkei Genkai, just like the First Hokage Senju Hashirama and his friend Uchiha Madara who founded Konoha together. I hope you and Itachi can train together in the future to protect the future of Konoha"
"Yes"
Uchiha Itachi always listens to Shisui's teachings.
"Then do your best to protect Konoha."
Akihara Kagura nodded at Uchiha Itachi.
Compared to Shiranui Genma, who can only shout to stop the fight, Uchiha Shisui actually seemed more like an examiner.
However...
Uchiha Shisui was still too naive.
In this Chnin Exam, Uchiha Shisui uses Susanoo to stop Akihara Kagura's Wooden Dragon, igniting the ambition of the Uchiha clan.
Can Susanoo solve the First Hokage's Wooden Release?
Can't it also solve the group of Konoha higher-ups of the Third Hokage?
