Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-840

“I’ll try not to disappoint you Kuroto-san!”

As the voice resounded through the stadium, all the figures of Shisui in the arena moved. They all rushed towards Kuroto.

“Wh–what happened?”

“You’ve got to be kidding!”

“I can’t see what’s happening there!”

The audience in the stands was stunned, they were unable to understand what was happening in the fighting arena.

Konoha Villagers have had the chance to witness many fights over the years, however, this is the first time they are watching a battle where their eyes are unable to keep up.

Let alone ordinary villagers and the Genins, the eyes of most of the Chunin were unable to keep up with Shisui’s speed either.

Everyone has heard of ‘Shisui of the Body Flicker’, but only now they have come to personally realize what the title means.

And before they could react, sound ear piercing sounds echoed on the battlefield causing everyone to painfully cover their ears, “Aaaah! It’s so loud!”

Shisui was moving faster than the speed of sound, so each of his movements was causing a sonic boom.

…

VIP Stands

Daimyo covered his face with his folding fan, and spoke in discomfort, “I suppose this is to be expected from a shinobi competing to become Godaime Hokage.”

Hiruzen sighed and did not entertain Daimyo.

The scene at the arena is beyond his expectations. His entire brain was busy devising countermeasures to the Situation in which Shisui wins this match, ‘It seems the initial preparation was not useless… we might have to rely on that.’

…

Contestant Waiting Area

Jiraiya patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and said, “It would be better if you mentally prepare yourself to face Shisui.”

Kakashi nodded with a solemn expression, “Hmm.”

The speed displayed by Shisui has greatly exceeded even Kakashi’s expectations. He has known Shisui from their time in the Anbu, but Kakashi never thought that Shisui would become so fast. At this moment, even Kakashi dared not claim to be faster than Shisui despite having masterly Flying Raijin.

In the corner, Tsunade-hime prayed while looking at the battlefield with a worried expression, “Hyuga Kuroto… you must preserve… at least until Shizune gets the money back!”

…

On the side of the Hyuga Clan

The moment the first sonic boom echoed in the arena, Hiashi subconsciously activated his Byakugan and looked at the fighting arena. Even he was surprised to find that he was unable to completely keep up with Shisui’s figure.

Sitting beside Hiashi, Elder Sada murmured with a relieved breath, “Hiashi… fortunately you did not nominate yourself… otherwise… I really can’t imagine…”

Hiashi nodded.

Normally he should have been embarrassed or angry that his strength was being questioned, however, that did not happen, rather he was relieved.

In his opinion, the words of Elder Sada are not mockery. He–himself–doesn’t think that he has the ability to fight back such an opponent. He doesn’t think that Kuroto has any chance either.

Rather than embarrassing oneself and the clan, it is better to watch the battle from the sidelines and allow things to hap–?!

Clang!

His train of thought was suddenly interrupted as his ears picked up the sound of the collision of iron and iron. This sound wasn’t very loud, and if not for having the sense of an elite Jonin, Hiashi might have missed it!

Taken aback, he focused his gaze on the arena and soon his face couldn’t hide his surprise as he saw the cause of such a sound. The expected scene of Kuroto being knocked unconscious by Shisui did not occur, rather, a sharp metallic collision echoed through the stadium.

The first metallic collision was soon followed by the second… then the third… then the fourth and soon an iron symphony was played from the arena.

It was the sound produced by the collision of Kuroto and Shisui’s weapons.

Hiashi couldn’t believe what he was seeing, countless afterimages of Shisui were attacking Kuroto from all directions at sonic speed, however, Kuroto was elegantly defending against all of them with precise and sharp movements.

No matter how many Shisui attacked Kuroto, they couldn’t get past his defense.

Seeing such a scene, Hiashi’s expression became solemn.

Before he could get used to this scene, the situation in the fighting arena changed.

Having defended against Shisui’s onslaught for a while, Kuroto decided to make his move. Immediately, he disappeared from where he stood–until a while ago–and shuttled across the arena while leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

Now Kuroto was on the offense and Shisui had to defend.

…

In the Audience

Sasuke–with his Sharingan activated–kept looking left-right, and up-down as he shouted with a frustrated expression, “Damn it… I can’t keep up at all!”

Of course, he knew that there was a vast difference between his strength and the strength of the two people fighting in the arena, only now he has come to realize that the difference is this big.

If he can’t keep up with their movements even with his Sharingan, how will he react against them if he were to face any of them?

Neji was no different from Sasuke and looked at the arena in shock.

He has always been proud of his strength and speed. But seeing the strength of his Sensei and the former Vice-Principal, he realized that all this time, he was a frog sitting at the bottom of a well. With his strength and speed, let alone fight someone like Kuroto and Shisui, he can’t even be a bystander in their fight. He would end up dying and not even understand how he died.

Different from the frustrated Sasuke and shocked Neji, Naruto was awed, “Amazing!”

He stared at the ongoing confrontation in a daze, “Will I have to surpass them if I want to become the greatest Hokage?”

Looking at the reactions of the three kids, Shinichi smirked, “Heh.” Internally, he couldn’t help but think, ‘Everyone is this shocked already… I wonder what will happen if they learn that these two are not even half-serious.’

…

On the other side

Rock Lee’s eyes were sparkling in awe and fascination as he looked at the field. He couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement, “So… so strong! Kuroto-Sensei and Shisui-Sensei are so strong!”

“Heh… let me tell you a secret Lee.” Said Guy with a smirk.

“What secret?” asked Lee, looking at Guy.

“They haven’t used their full strength! Both of them are much much stronger!” answered Guy with a smile.

Unlike most of the audience, Guy had no problem keeping up with Shisui and Kuroto. He has long adapted to such high-speed and high-intensity battles. Therefore, he was able to see that neither Kuroto nor Shisui had used their full strength yet.

Lee was taken aback, and he asked in excitement, “Guy-Sensei! Can shinobi become this strong with just physical skills?”

Sitting beside Rock Lee, Guy flashed a bright smile as he answered, “Of course! Anyone can become strong so long as they work hard!”

Lee’s eyes brightened, and he asked, “Guy Sensei… can I also become strong?”

Guy showed his ‘Nice Guy’ pose and nodded, “Of course… the two of them have worked hard to have such strength… if you wish to become strong like them… then you must also work hard, and you must believe in yourself! This is what the youth is all about!”

…

“Shisui… why don’t we take this up a notch?!” said Kuroto as the blade of his sword clashed with Shisui’s sword.

Shisui nodded, “Hmm.” lightning started to flash around him and Shisui’s speed once again increased.

Shisui was using lightning to increase his action speed and reaction speed.

Noting the flashes of lightning, Kuroto’s smile widened, “That’s what I am talking about” Immediately, chakra burst out of his body like a raging flame, as his speed and strength increased.

Kuroto was using the Eight Inner Gates to increase his strength and speed.

As soon as the two candidates increased the intensity of their battle, the stadium was in an uproar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud explosions rang as the ground and walls started to crack.

In the stans, the audience screamed in excitement and panic. The battle between Shisui and Kuroto was affecting the environment around them. And the stadium was the first to suffer.

Within a short few moments, the pillars supporting the stands started to crack and collapse, causing the audience to panic.

The shinobi responsible for maintaining the order protected the civilians. But the damage to the stadium was continuously increasing, causing the captain to shout in anger, “Where is the Sealing Division? What’s taking them so long? Tell them to hurry up or the entire stadium will collapse!”

“Fuinjutsu: Four-Purple Flame Formation!”
