Chapter 205 All-Out Effort
Uchiha Shisui was somewhat bewildered. This was the first time he had encountered an enemy like Hyuga Kanan, whose fighting style and methods were completely different from those of a typical ninja. His previous combat experience was utterly useless. But he quickly regained his composure. As a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, he wouldn't easily admit defeat. He still possessed the most powerful Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, which he hadn't yet used. He believed that no enemy would pose a threat in the face of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Having regrouped, Uchiha Shisui knew he could no longer hold back; he had to go all out to defeat the powerful enemy before him. Therefore, he unhesitatingly activated his most powerful ability—the Sharingan.
In an instant, Uchiha Shisui's eyes turned blood red, and his original three-tomoe Sharingan began to spin rapidly, as if trying to engulf the entire world. As the Sharingan spun, a completely new pattern gradually emerged, a pattern more complex and mysterious than the previous three-tomoe Sharingan, emanating a chilling aura.
At the same time, Uchiha Shisui's aura underwent a dramatic change. His previously gentle and warm aura vanished, replaced by a dark and icy presence, like a demon from the depths of hell. This aura sent chills down one's spine, but Uchiha Shisui remained unfazed; his eyes held only unwavering determination.
Hyuga Kanan didn't interrupt Uchiha Shisui's actions. He stood quietly to the side, carefully observing the changes in the other's Sharingan. From the very beginning, Hyuga Kanan had no intention of letting this powerful Uchiha clansman off easily. He wanted to see how the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan was formed, and how the wondrous eye techniques it contained utilized the power of rules.
Under Hyuga Kanan's watchful gaze, Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan finally completed its transformation, becoming a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan radiating boundless pressure. These eyes seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe; anyone who met their gaze would be deeply drawn in, unable to extricate themselves. At this moment, Uchiha Shisui felt his power was stronger than ever before. He believed he could defeat the enemy before him and protect everything he cherished.
Hyuga Kanan's spiritual power remained focused on Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan transforming into the Mangekyou Sharingan. He observed the entire process of the transformation from the three tomoe to the Sharingan. To Hyuga Kanan's surprise, during the transformation, a peculiar chakra appeared in Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan. This chakra originated entirely from his bloodline and subtly connected to a strange alternate dimension. Although he couldn't sense the location of that alternate dimension, the aura emanating from it felt incredibly familiar to Hyuga Kanan, as if it were the same aura he had when using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Hyuga Kanan seems to have understood the principle of the Mangekyou Sharingan. It is entirely based on the power of bloodline connecting to the Pure Land, which possesses all the rules of the world's will that the Sage of Six Paths possessed. By relying on the power of bloodline, one can obtain some of the rules of the Pure Land and use them, thus forming the unique Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique.
In an instant, Hyuga Kanan felt bored. This method of using the power of rules could only be used by the Uchiha clan; it was completely useless to others and offered no help whatsoever to his own comprehension of the power of rules. He had given it all in vain. This method of using the power of rules, which was like having a cheat code and didn't require any understanding of the rules, was of no help to him whatsoever, not even providing any inspiration.
After activating his Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Shisui regained his confidence from the earlier blow. He locked onto Hyuga Kanan again, preparing to use his Mangekyou Sharingan to settle the score. However, when he focused on Kanan, he noticed that Kanan's expression had changed from one of interest in observing him to one of utter disappointment; in fact, he felt as if Kanan had lost all interest in him.
This discovery stirred up Shisui Uchiha's pride. He felt completely disregarded, especially after Shisui unleashed his Mangekyou Sharingan, the sense of contempt growing even stronger. The proudest of the Uchiha clans could not accept such disrespect. He resolved to make his opponent experience the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan firsthand, to show him why the Sharingan was called the strongest bloodline limit in the ninja world.
Countless chakra converged in his eyes, making Uchiha Shisui feel that his strength had increased by at least several levels. Although his eyes were already stinging, the immense power still deeply stimulated him. Without wasting any more time, he attacked Hyuga Kanan again, his speed and strength both enhanced beyond imagination.
In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Shisui appeared beside Hyuga Kanan, his short sword flashing rapidly towards him.
Hyuga Kanan, showing no interest, shifted slightly, the short sword he was about to use to slash at her chest grazing past without causing any harm. Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan darted around, clearly observing Kanan's movements, and he instantly changed the direction of his short sword, switching from a slash to a thrust. But this missed again, leaving Uchiha Shisui somewhat bewildered; his Sharingan hadn't detected any of Kanan's evasive maneuvers. He was currently using the Mangekyou Sharingan, yet he still couldn't see through Kanan's movements.
Uchiha Shisui clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with resentment and confusion. He widened his eyes, which had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, trying to make out the blurry figure in front of him.
"The Mangekyou Sharingan is the legendary eye of the Uchiha clan! It possesses unparalleled power, capable of seeing through everything and perceiving all things! How could it be... how could I not even be able to detect the opponent's movements? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! It must be because I haven't fully adapted to the power boost brought by these eyes that I can't see through the opponent's movements... that must be it!"
He muttered to himself under his breath, as if trying to solidify his belief. However, a voice deep inside him kept telling him: things were probably not that simple.
Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew that if he couldn't solve this problem, he would always be at a disadvantage in the battle. He had to find a way to break through his current predicament.
In a short period of time, Uchiha Shisui launched a frenzied attack on Hyuga Kanan, increasing his speed and frequency dramatically. All that could be seen was his black figure constantly charging forward, his short sword flashing wildly. Yet, he couldn't even touch Hyuga Kanan's skin, and couldn't even force him back.
Hyuga Kanan merely shifted his body slightly, easily dodging Uchiha Shisui's furious onslaught without even a hint of dishevelment in his clothes. He didn't retaliate, calmly dodging the attacks while subtly testing the Mangekyou Sharingan's observational power and silently sensing whether it would attract the attention of the person behind the scenes.
After exchanging blows several more times, Hyuga Kanan, finding nothing amiss, realized that the Mangekyou Sharingan alone wouldn't attract the attention of the mastermind. He then lost all interest in continuing to entangle with Uchiha Shisui. Casually dodging Shisui's thrusting attack, he pointed a finger at Shisui's chest, instantly sending him flying.
However, a subtle smile played on Hyuga Kanan's lips as he stared intently at Uchiha Shisui, who had been sent flying. His attack hadn't struck Shisui directly; rather, it had been blocked by a skeleton formed from green chakra, failing to cause him any damage. Even a casual strike from Hyuga Kanan possessed considerable power, and even with defensive techniques, it wouldn't be easy to withstand. Yet, this enemy had managed to neutralize his attack so easily with such a bizarre technique, remaining completely unharmed—a testament to his astonishingly high level of defense.
At this moment, Uchiha Shisui's body trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to control some kind of emotion. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which made people wonder. Was this sweat due to exhaustion from his continuous and frenzied attacks, or was it due to the extreme fear and shock brought about by the earth-shattering attack just now? Perhaps only he himself knew the answer.
Uchiha Shisui now truly understood Hyuga Kanan's strength. He realized that his opponent possessed far more than just astonishing movement and evasion speed; even his attack power far exceeded his expectations. Just now, Hyuga Kanan's seemingly casual attack had given Uchiha Shisui an unprecedented and deadly threat. If it weren't for his timely defense using the Mangekyou Sharingan's Susanoo technique, he would likely have been severely injured and unable to continue fighting.
However, the burden brought by the Mangekyou Sharingan was far heavier than Uchiha Shisui had anticipated. Even a brief activation and a slight use of Susanoo for defense left him feeling unbearably sore all over, and his eyes stinging uncontrollably. Uchiha Shisui knew that if this continued, he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent; in fact, he would likely succumb to his body's strain very quickly.
He turned his gaze once more to the composed Hyuga Kanan opposite him, understanding that to contend with him and find an opportunity to retaliate, he must go all out and unleash the full power of his Mangekyou Sharingan. Only in this way might he have a glimmer of hope and create favorable conditions for unleashing the Mangekyou Sharingan's strongest ocular technique. At this moment, Uchiha Shisui's eyes were resolute and filled with fighting spirit; he decided to fight with his back against the wall, sparing no effort to achieve victory.
