Chapter 846: Chapter – 839 Let’s Have Some Fun
Walking through the passage leading to the fighting arena, Kuroto could feel gradually increasing cheers. As he came out of the passage and stood at the center of the arena waves upon waves of cheers resonated throughout the stadium. It was as if the very ground was trembling from the excitement.
Looking at the gathered crowd, Kuroto was amazed, "Damn, I did not expect this many people to gather… But I suppose this does make sense."
No doubt, the villagers have shown great enthusiasm towards the Godaime Hokage Election.
Before the Godaime Hokage Elections, most of the villagers had no role. The candidates were nominated by the members of the Elder Council, while the Jonin-ranked shinobi were given the right to select the Hokage through voting.
Even the villagers were concerned about this entire matter, they couldn't play any role. Before they knew it, the village had a new Hokage. True, they were made aware of the achievements made by the different nominated candidates, but that's it. They didn't even know how strong the candidates were relative to each other.
But this time is different. Because of the Uchiha Patriarch's proposal in the Council Meeting, a competition was made part of the election in order to test the strength of the nominated candidates. And since the villagers were given the right to watch the tournament.
As such a chance appeared before them, great enthusiasm was ignited in their hearts.
After all, Konoha is a village of Shinobis. Even if not everyone is a shinobi, they are inseparable from shinobi. Children yearn to become great shinobi and serve the village, admiration and respect towards shinobi are engraved in the bones of most adults.
"Kuroto-san." Shisui's call broke Kuroto's train of thought.
Kuroto looked towards Shisui bowing to him. Kuroto nodded with a smile, "Shisui" and returned the greeting.
As both candidates raised their right hands and formed the seal of confrontation gradually cheers dropped and the stadium became quiet.
Including the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage of the Five Great Nations, everyone was looking at Shisui and Kuroto.
Jiraiya was the referee of the match, he appeared in the area with a body flicker and explained the rules of the match. Then he looked at the candidates and asked, "Are the two of you ready?"
Shisui nodded, "Be careful Kuroto-san!"
Kuroto also nodded, "Let's start!"
Seeing that both the candidates were ready, he nodded at them and signaled the start of the battle, "Begin!"
As the signal to start the fight was given, Shisui was the first to make his move. He weaved the hand signs and as he finished several blurry figures started to appear around. Within a few short breaths, the entire arena was filled with hundreds of such figures.
What's strange is that the blurry figures have the same appearance as Shisui, making it difficult to discern the real Uchiha Shisui.
…
In the VIP Stand
Looking at the hundreds of figures of Uchiha Shisui in the arena, Raikage, Tsuchikae, Mizukage, and Kazekage stared at each other in surprise.
The oldest Kage among them–the Tsuchikage–couldn't help but murmur in praise, "Fast… He really lives up to his name… 'Shisui of the Body Flicker.'"
Even Raikage had to admit that unless using his 'Lightning Chakra Armour' he won't be able to move as fast as Uchiha Shisui.
A worried look flashed in the eyes of Hokage. Even if a shinobi of his village was earning the praise of the Kages of other villagers, Hiruzen couldn't say that he was happy to hear it.
From the beginning, Hiruzen was been extremely worried in regards to the match between Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Kuroto.
Earlier he thought that if Shisui were to fight while releasing water, the scene would become embarrassing. The Kages and leaders of the other clans will realize that something has been set up behind the scenes. But considering the strength Shisui has displayed from his first Jutsu, Hirzuen is now worried about the outcome of the battle, and couldn't help but think, 'Will he be able to win this?'
…
On the other side of the Stadium
With his Byakugan activated, Neji looked at the arena with a shocked expression, "This… this… what kind of Jutsu is this?"
As far as Neji can see with his Byakugan, every figure of Shisui had a chakra sign. It's as if all those hundreds of Shisui are Shadow Clones, but 'Shadow Clone Jutsu' can not create so many Clones besides, the hand signs Shisui used were different from the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu', Neji is sure of this because he too has mastered the that Jutsu.
Sasuke thought for a while, then said in an uncertain tone, "Perhaps Shisui-nii-san is using 'Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu'?! I heard Nii-san mention that Jutsu once, it's an A-Ranked Forbidden Jutsu because it consumes too mu–..."
Suddenly a voice interrupted Sasuke, "Don't be an idiot Sasuke… that's not 'Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu'… it's Shisui's unique Body Flicker… the very Jutsu that earned him the moniker of 'Shisui of the Body Flicker.'"
He turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Shinichi-nii-san… you did not go with the others?"
Shinichi shook his head distastefully, "They are too noisy for my liking."
Having witnessed the strength of Kuroto, Nagato, 'Madara', and 'Hiruko', it has become difficult for him to tolerate the arrogance of his clansmen. In his view, they possess so little strength, yet have such arrogance, which is a disgrace in his eyes. Therefore, he prefers to keep his distance from the ignorant clansmen. Precisely why, he chose to come here.
Neji asked in surprise, "Body Flicker Jutsu? How can that be Body Flicker Jutsu? There are so many of them, and each of them has a chakra sign.!"
Sasuke and Naruto nodded in agreement with Neji and looked at Shinichi in confusion. The Body Flicker Jutsu used by Shisui is completely different from the Body Flicker Jutsu that they know.
Shinichi did not bother to explain, instead, he observed Shisui in the arena, and thought to himself, 'His speed is exponentially faster compared to what I remember. Is it because of Shodaime-sama's cells?'
As far as Shinichi can remember, the last time he saw Shisui use his unique Body Flicker Jutsu, he couldn't create these many 'shadows', moreover, Shisui generally used his 'Shadows' in dim light. The Jutsu wasn't as effective in the bright areas.
But now? That's not the case at all. Not only Shisui is able to create hundreds of 'Shadows' he is able to display such effectiveness in broad daylight, which surprised even Shinichi.
…
On Kakashi's side
Asuma was surprised upon looking at hundreds of Shisui in the arena, and asked Kakashi, "Do you think Kuroto can win?"
Kakashi had no answer, and thought, 'Is Shisui fighting to win?'
On the other side, Shizune looked at Tsunade with a pale expression, "Tsunade-sama… will he be able to win?"
Tsunade was unsure.
Shizune said in a panicked voice, "Maybe… maybe it would be best if we retract our bet on him… otherwise… otherwise…"
Tsunade nodded, "Yes… it's possible that Shisui is fighting to win… go… go… retract our bet!"
…
On the Arena
Looking at hundreds of Shisui surrounding him. Kuroto grinned, unsheathed his Kusanagi Sword, and pointed at Shisui as he said, "Well then… let's have some fun!"
Hundreds of Shisui replied in unison, "I'll try not to disappoint you Kuroto-san!"

Chapter 847: Chapter – 840 Hokage Election: Stage 1: Match 1
"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!"
