Chapter 528: Blue Flame Suppression

In the clearing, Shisui and Obito stood side by side, facing fifteen Uchiha ninja led by Uchiha Seisei.

Of course, more than fifteen people opposed Shisui, but Uchiha Seisei also cared about his reputation and couldn't possibly bring every Uchiha ninja who was dissatisfied with Shisui to gang up on him.

Still, to avoid any mishaps, although Uchiha Seisei didn't bring everyone, the fourteen Uchiha ninja he selected were all elites of the Uchiha clan.

Including himself, among these fifteen Uchiha, there were a total of eight jonin, and the remaining seven chunin were all experienced veteran chunin, forming a fairly formidable squad.

Uchiha Seisei didn't believe that this lineup couldn't handle Shisui.

"Shisui, you'll have to treat me to breakfast tomorrow." Despite being outnumbered, Obito was not flustered at all.

After all, their opponents were just a bunch of ninja without even a decent title.

"I'll treat you to breakfast for the whole next year." Shisui raised the stakes dramatically.

If they could successfully start the reform of the police force, Shisui would be willing to treat Obito for ten years, let alone one.

"I feel underestimated. Even if he's a genius, facing so many of us, there's no way he can come out on top." An Uchiha jonin, annoyed by Obito's nonchalant expression, said.

Even within the Uchiha clan, jonin were rare. He might not have been a genius, but he had been praised since childhood.

He didn't think he could beat Shisui or Obito one-on-one, but now it was fifteen against two.

"Everyone, don't underestimate them. Go all out." Uchiha Seisei warned.

He didn't think Obito and Shisui could beat eight jonin, but losing face in such a situation would be too embarrassing, so to be safe, they had to use their full strength.

"The battle begins!" Uchiha Yashiro, acting as the referee, announced after both sides were ready.

Uchiha Fugaku, standing nearby, also focused his attention on the upcoming battle.

He knew Shisui well—if Shisui didn't think he could win, he wouldn't have challenged them.

So Uchiha Fugaku was curious about how strong Shisui was, to be so confident facing so many Uchiha ninja.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Obito and Shisui simultaneously performed the Summoning Jutsu, summoning Charizard and Zoroark respectively.

Both beasts were quite large now, so they hadn't been brought to the clan meeting.

"So these are the enemies we need to deal with." Zoroark scanned the fifteen Uchiha ninja standing opposite.

It lived with Shisui and knew the general plan, so it was already prepared for battle.

Charizard, knowing they were in a fight, didn't pull any pranks on Obito and quickly flapped its wings to take to the sky.

"Did they contract some powerful summoning beasts?" Uchiha Fugaku thought as he observed.

A powerful summoning beast meant a lot to a ninja, but good ones were hard to come by.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Uchiha Seisei quickly formed hand signs and spat out a massive fireball.

Not only Uchiha Seisei, but several other Uchiha also used the Great Fireball, while those not using ninjutsu sealed off positions with ninja tools.

In the blink of an eye, several giant fireballs and a dense barrage of ninja tools enveloped Shisui, Obito, and Zoroark.

Charizard, having taken to the air immediately, was not targeted.

Hitting a flying target was much harder than a ground one, so even without coordinating tactics, the Uchiha ninja instinctively planned to take down Obito and the others first.

Shisui gathered chakra while signaling Zoroark with his eyes.

Understanding immediately, Zoroark burst out its chakra and activated a genjutsu.

A large amount of flame continuously spewed from Zoroark's mouth, rapidly forming a fierce sea of fire as if to engulf all incoming attacks.

"What kind of summoning beast is this, able to release such a powerful Fire Style!" Uchiha Seisei's pupils contracted as he stared in disbelief at Zoroark.

Uchiha Seisei finally understood why Shisui was confident he and Obito could defeat so many Uchiha ninja—he had contracted an exceptionally powerful summoning beast.

"No, that's not right. Can he afford the chakra for such a strong summoning beast?" Uchiha Seisei wondered.

The chakra consumption of the Summoning Jutsu isn't fixed; the stronger the summoned beast, the more chakra required.

But no matter how strange Uchiha Seisei found it, the reality was right before his eyes, and he didn't have time to think too much.

The Uchiha ninjas watching were also greatly startled, instinctively retreating a distance.

Then something even more shocking happened. Ninjutsu of the same nature should cancel each other out, but the several huge fire dragons transformed from the sea of fire ignored this rule, passing straight through the Great Fireball and charging directly at Uchiha Seiqing and the others.

"What kind of Fire Release is this again?" Uchiha Seiqing frowned, feeling that his decades of ninja experience were no longer sufficient.

Though he didn't understand, seeing the gradually approaching huge fire dragons, Uchiha Seiqing burst chakra and used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.

No matter what the jutsu, if it doesn't hit, it's all for nothing.

All the Uchiha ninjas were clumsily evading Zoroark's "Fire Release."

With no one interfering, Shisui and Obito easily dodged the barrage of incoming attacks.

Bang! Bang!

Relying on his proficient Body Flicker Technique, Shisui rapidly closed in on two Uchiha chunin, punching each one and sending them flying backwards.

Currently, among Muyue's disciples, except for Yamato who hadn't been taught long, the worst at taijutsu was Nagato, but even he was still on a crushing level compared to ordinary peers.

As for Shisui, in terms of pure taijutsu, he was considered outstanding among Muyue's disciples.

"Air Blade!"

The Charizard flying in the sky aimed at several Uchiha who were close to Obito, rapidly whipping out several wind blades.

Noticing Charizard's attack, Obito focused his breath to the utmost, burst out power, and together with Charizard's attack, defeated three Uchiha ninjas.

"Eh, why isn't he injured?"

A Uchiha chunin made a mistake and was hit by flames. Just as he thought he would be seriously injured, he found himself unscathed.

Uchiha Seiqing noticed this scene, his expression changed greatly, his pupils shaking.

If his guess was correct, then the ability Zoroark had just displayed was no less than that ultra-large-scale Fire Release.

Uchiha Seiqing concentrated chakra in his eyes and activated the Sharingan.

After the blood-colored eyes appeared, Uchiha Seiqing immediately checked his own chakra.

After calming his chakra, Uchiha Seiqing looked at Zoroark with wariness, "It really is genjutsu."

Zoroark had just made everyone present unknowingly fall under a genjutsu.

"Such a terrifying large-scale genjutsu, with no signs at all," Uchiha Seiqing thought to himself.

The quality of that genjutsu Zoroark had just used was extremely high.

Where was this place? It was a gathering place for Uchiha ninjas, with a large number of genjutsu experts.

Even an experienced three-tomoe Uchiha like him had fallen for it, which was indeed somewhat outrageous.

Fortunately, although Zoroark's genjutsu was abnormal, it still had the common flaw of large-scale genjutsu, which was that it was relatively easy to dispel.

"That fox-like summoning beast is using genjutsu!" Uchiha Seiqing immediately warned the remaining Uchiha.

The Uchiha jonin who had awakened their Sharingan all activated it to check their status and dispel the genjutsu.

Since the Sharingan consumes a lot of chakra, even Uchiha ninjas generally don't activate their Sharingan at the start of battle.

Shisui was no exception; after his demonstration at the Naka Shrine, he quickly closed his Sharingan and rapidly refined chakra to maintain peak condition.

"Fortunately, I brought seven chunin," Uchiha Seiqing thought with relief.

Although dispelling it was simple, realizing that one had fallen under genjutsu was not simple, because Zoroark would make everyone fall under genjutsu.

Without actually suffering a loss, it was difficult to realize one was under genjutsu.

If not for the chunin making the mistake and holding off Shisui and Obito's attacks, half of the eight jonin might have been taken out in that wave, likely resulting in a defeat.

With the help of the chunin, Uchiha Seiqing's side lost six chunin and one jonin, but still had seven jonin combatants.

"Genjutsu?" Uchiha Yashiro, who was watching, was stunned; he hadn't noticed either.

The watching Uchiha all gasped, completely unable to figure out when or how they had fallen under genjutsu.

Seeing that Uchiha Seiqing had broken the genjutsu, Shisui concentrated his Flame Breathing to the utmost, entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, his aura surging.

In fact, Zoroark's abilities were more than this, but Shisui wanted to personally defeat Uchiha Seiqing and make him submit.

This battle should not be the stage for Zoroark and Charizard, but rather the stage for him and Obito.

Seeing Shisui unleash his ultimate move, Obito followed without hesitation, also entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode.

Charizard and Zoroark joined forces to hold off three jonin and one chunin.

"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Uchiha Shengqing formed only the Tiger seal and spat out a huge orange-yellow fire dragon.

His Great Dragon Fire Technique had a very high proficiency; it was one of his best Fire Style ninjutsu.

Uchiha Shengqing was fast, but Shisui was faster. In Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, he could release Fire Style without forming hand seals.

"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Shisui clapped his hands together, and a crimson-orange fire dragon, even larger than Uchiha Shengqing's, surged out.

Boom!!

The two enormous fire dragons collided, and the high-temperature flames sprayed in all directions, turning the ground into scorched earth.

Watching his dragon head being rapidly devoured, cold sweat dripped from Uchiha Shengqing's forehead.

When ninjutsu of the same nature clash, the loser is embarrassed; if it's the same technique, there's no excuse—it means you're simply weak.

"How can this be? It's only been a short time—how has he improved so much?" Watching his fire dragon about to be swallowed by Shisui's, Uchiha Shengqing grew panicked.

Just last time he had conducted a guidance battle with Shisui, Shisui's Fire Style could only match him in mutual destruction. Why could he now suppress him like this? This is not ninja-like at all.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

At that moment, an Uchiha jonin freed up a hand and released Fire Style to help Uchiha Shengqing intercept the incoming remnant fire dragon.

"You first join me to defeat Shisui," Uchiha Shengqing quickly ordered.

He had been defeated by Shisui in a guidance battle before; that time it could be explained away as underestimation. But if he lost to Shisui again this time, he would lose face completely, with no excuse at all.

Because this time it was fifteen against two, and their side even had eight jonin.

The Uchiha jonin nodded and swiftly attacked Shisui.

He was not exactly Uchiha Shengqing's subordinate; he joined the battle only because he did not approve of Shisui, so he didn't have to listen to Uchiha Shengqing's orders, but he also didn't want to lose.

Uchiha Shengqing was the strongest ninja on their side. Joining forces with Uchiha Shengqing to take out one opponent first was the best strategy the Uchiha jonin could think of to break the deadlock.

"Don't engage in close combat; use ninjutsu," Uchiha Shengqing said quickly.

Uchiha Shengqing knew Shisui's taijutsu was very strong, and he also mastered a secret technique that complemented his taijutsu.

Even if the two of them ganged up on him, they might not gain the upper hand.

It was better to use long-range ninjutsu to drain Shisui's chakra.

"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

The two formed hand seals together and simultaneously released Fire Style at full power.

Whoosh!

Shisui ignored the fire dragon about to rush out and approached Uchiha Shengqing at extreme speed.

The distance between them grew shorter and shorter, and Uchiha Shengqing's fire dragon also got closer and closer to Shisui.

When the fire dragon was only one decimeter away from Shisui, Shisui made his move.

The massive amount of chakra he had prepared in advance exploded, and Shisui's Flame Breathing was pushed to its limit.

"Blue Flame!"

Shisui opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blue flame as thick as an arm.

Compared to the two incoming fire dragons, the flame Shisui spat out appeared very weak.

Because Uchiha Shengqing's fire dragon was even three times larger than Shisui's own body, the flame Shisui spat out was so tiny in front of the enormous fire dragon.

Whoosh, whoosh!!

The blue flame met the orange-yellow flame.

The next moment, the Fire Dragon flashed with a blue light, was directly swallowed by the blue flame, and disappeared before Shisui's eyes, as if it had never existed.

Uchiha Shengqing was stunned. He even almost thought this was another genjutsu.

But his body honestly told him that his chakra was very stable, and he was not under a genjutsu.

Due to the close distance, due to the failed ninjutsu clash, and because Shisui's Fire Release was too overwhelming, by the time they wanted to dodge, the blue flame had burned before their eyes.

At that moment, memories of Uchiha Shengqing's life—from birth to entering the ninja academy, to graduating and becoming a ninja, to becoming an Uchiha elder—rapidly flashed through his mind.

Fortunately, the blue flame dissipated under Shisui's control when it was seven centimeters away from them.

Uchiha Shengqing took two steps back, nearly collapsing to the ground, panting heavily. Not only was his forehead covered in sweat, but his undershirt was also soaked with sweat from his body.

The other Uchiha ninja was not much better, also looking like he had narrowly escaped death.

Shisui also let out a heavy breath.

Although he had been training the Blue Flame frantically for the past week, Shisui's proficiency with the Blue Flame was still at a low level, and he was still quite far from truly mastering the Blue Flame.

Not only could Shisui not use various Blue Flame version Fire Release techniques as freely as Muyue, he couldn't even use compression.

Only when he consumed most of the chakra in his body in the Flame Breathing chakra mode could he barely produce some high-temperature blue flames.

That was why Shisui had been trying to close the distance, because if he didn't get a little closer, the length of his Blue Flame wouldn't even reach the opponent.

However, the Blue Flame still did not disappoint Shisui's expectations. Even though he hadn't fully mastered it yet, the power of the Blue Flame was still domineering—it was the strongest Fire Release Shisui had ever known, and it was vastly superior to other Fire Release techniques.

"That... what kind of Fire Release is that?" Uchiha Shengqing stopped and asked, still shaken.

Shisui did not answer Uchiha Shengqing. The Blue Flame was a technique taught by Muyue; he couldn't just talk about it carelessly.

"With you, perhaps you really can lead the Uchiha back to glory." Uchiha Shengqing did not continue asking. He closed his Sharingan and sighed.

In Shisui, Uchiha Shengqing saw the shadow of Uchiha Madara.

It had nothing to do with personality or conduct—it was Uchiha Madara's invincible strength.

Uchiha Shengqing felt that if Shisui continued, he might have a chance to train back to the same realm as Uchiha Madara.

"I will do my best," Shisui replied.

He didn't dare say he would definitely lead the Uchiha to glory, but he would do his best to make the Uchiha better, at least not like this.

"That's good enough." Uchiha Shengqing smiled, turned around, sighed, and walked toward the Naka Shrine.

There were other Uchiha ninjas who had not yet been defeated, but for him, they had actually already lost.

Also, I have noticed the pacing issues that everyone has mentioned, and I have already been adjusting.
