Kapitel 28: Chapter 28 - The True Power of Fire!

Hearing his older brother's words, Hizashi glared at Yuusuke. Watching the youth's chakra flow with the power of his eyes, Hizashi couldn't help but frown, "Amazing, Uchiha Yusuke uses Yin chakra to generate flames in his blade, how is that possible!"

"That puzzles me, the flames on his blade are not an illusion at all, they are real and just as hot as the real thing. But I can't figure out why he's using Yin chakra to fuel him!" Hiashi's expression changed from relaxed to solemn. The unknown is what scares people the most, which is why he started to fear Yuusuke's abilities more than Uchiha Shisui.

Unfortunately, the answer to this riddle can only be found in another world. How could Hiashi know that the flame is not a flame that originated from chakra, but is the power of Ryujin Jakka - the power of a powerful fire-type sword spirit, the power of which can only be released with the help of - the power of the soul. And in the world of Naruto, the power of the soul or mental power is expressed just the same chakra of the Yin Element.

Meanwhile, in the arena, Shisui began to feel a slight physical exhaustion. Although the Body Flicker Technique didn't require as much strength as Guy's Technique, it still put a lot of strain on the body. Even Shisui couldn't keep up that pace for long.

Yuusuke, who was chasing Shisui with firewalking, immediately noticed this, Shisui's speed began to noticeably drop, and the number of afterimage clones was drastically reduced from sixteen to eight. Yusuke seized the opportunity to take advantage of this, swinging his katana, he released a huge wave of fire that covered seven of the eight clones of the afterimage.

As soon as the seven clones were engulfed in flames, Yuusuke's sharp gaze fell on the only image that hadn't been touched by the fire. Apparently, this was Shisui's true body.

Yusuke disappeared into the flames again, in the next moment, half of his body emerged from the flames behind Shisui. Feeling a strong killing intent behind him, Shisui decided not to dodge anymore and unleash the power of his eyes. The original three tomoe pattern in his eyes swirled and quickly changed into a four-pronged shuriken. Just as Yuusuke's punch was about to hit him, a green glow appeared around him.

"Susanoo!" A giant green chakra skeleton surrounded Shisui's body and blocked Yuusuke's attack. Seeing this, Yusuke immediately broke the distance by taking advantage of the kickback. Standing at a distance, Yusuke calmly looked at the giant skeleton.

***

Spectators in the stands with wide eyes and a little fear looked at the huge skeleton. Many of them had never even heard of the mangekyou sharingan, let alone Susanoo.

However, the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, who is also a mangekyou sharingan, naturally understood what abilities Shisui was using.

After a moment of shock, Fugaku's brows furrowed as his heart filled with mixed feelings for a moment.

He was glad that Shisui opened his Mangekyou Sharingan, which meant that the clan had another Kage-level shinobi. But, he was also upset that Shisui not only hid the fact of awakening his eyes from him, but also used the irreplaceable power of his eyes against a member of his own clan.

If it was possible, Fugaku would like to rush into the arena and stop the two from continuing the match. But due to the presence of dignitaries and the fact that this is an official duel in front of everyone, he could only remain on the sidelines, feeling uneasy.

In the VIP box, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression remained calm, while Danzo face changed drastically.

"Uchiha Shisui awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?! What are the abilities? Danzo asked the Third Hokage in a sharp voice.

"An illusion capable of forever changing the will of a person!" Sarutobi replied calmly.

Danzo face turned grim, "This ability is too dangerous and should be under my…" At that moment, Sarutobi gave him a sharp look forcing him to change his original words, "Under our complete control!"

"Shisui is trustworthy," Sarutobi said turning away, once again focusing his gaze on the arena.

"Not. No one from the Uchiha clan is trustworthy. The risk is too great, we must do something!" Danzo spoke sharply. As if not hearing his words, Sarutobi looked at Yuusuke thoughtfully, his expression surprisingly calm.

On the other side, Kakashi and the others were also surprised by Shisui's new strength.

"What the hell is Kakashi? exclaimed Genma. "Some kind of illusion?"

Kakashi's face was serious, "It's not an illusion, it must be the Sharingan's unique ability, take a good look at Shisui's pupils."

After Kakashi's words, everyone turned their attention to Shisui's eyes and were soon surprised to see a strange pattern in them, different from the usual three tomoe pattern.

"What is this Kakashi?" Asuma asked impatiently.

"I dont know. But with my sharingan, I can sense a very evil chakra coming from that huge skeleton." Kakashi shook his head.

***

"Susanoo? This power cannot be recovered, are you sure it's worth it?" Yuusuke asked while looking into Shisui's eyes.

"Of course it's worth it! Since you know about the power of these eyes, you must also understand the difference in power between us! I don't want to hurt you Yuusuke-senpai, so just admit defeat!"

Hearing Shisui's words, Yusuke shook his head, "Susanoo is indeed a very strong ability, but it's not enough to defeat me." As Yusuke spoke, he secretly unlocked the Seal of Two Opposites. Although the Nine-Tails' chakra had not been fully restored, in Yusuke's opinion, the available volume was enough to defeat Shisui.

"In that case, you leave me no choice Senpai!" "However, just as Shisui was about to make his move, Yusuke experienced a shocking change.

Black runes appeared on his neck, which then, like small snakes, began to spread all over his face and arms. All of Yuusuke's visible skin was covered in black runes, shocking the onlookers and his opponent.

As the runes began to spread through Yuusuke's body, the more chakra-sensitive shinobi noticed that his chakra began to rise rapidly. In just a few seconds, Yuusuke's chakra capacity far exceeded the amount that a normal shinobi of his level could possess.

Not only Shisui, who was the closest to Yuusuke, but everyone who had even the slightest bit of strength, were amazed by this change. Today's event brought them quite a few surprises, it also reminded many of Konoha why the Uchiha clan is considered the most powerful clan in Konoha Village.

"How can he have such a powerful yin chakra, it's almost like a tailed beast!" Hizashi exclaimed as he felt Yuusuke's chakra rising. Nearby, Hiashi frowned, but didn't say anything. As head of the Hyuuga clan, he was experiencing a deep sense of crisis at the moment.

As one of the leading clans in Konoha, the strength of the top experts of the Uchiha clan was clearly far greater than that of his Hyūga clan. The two teenagers in the arena could already match him, the head of the Hyuuga clan!

After recovering from the initial shock, Shisui infused even more chakra into Susanoo, forming his arms and one of them into a spiral sword. With the sword in hand, under Shisui's control, Susanoo was instantly in front of Yusuke and swung down on him with a giant spiral sword.

In the face of such a crushing attack, Yuusuke didn't budge, instead, he began to rapidly infuse a copious amount of Yin chakra into the Zanpakutō in his hand. Suddenly, the Zanpakuto previously calmly flowing flames flared up and, like an ancient beast, with a frightening aura, violently burst out, forming a burning ring behind Yuusuke from which violent waves of fire poured in different directions.

"Forgive me for my weakness partner, this is the strength you were originally supposed to have, I really let you down Ryujin Jakka!" At this moment, Ryujin Jakka first form, Shikai, was able to manifest its true power for the first time ever.

As soon as Ryujin Jakka revealed himself, the air in the entire stadium became dry. All the moisture began to evaporate quickly.

Yuusuke's gaze shifted to Susanno approaching spiral sword. Then, Yusuke simply raised his hand and swung his sword. That was all he did, but it was enough to block Shisui's attack.

With a swing of the blade, a dense wave of flame erupted towards Susanoo's coiled sword and threw the giant sword with ease. But that was not the end, not only was Susanoo thrown back with ease, the top half of the spiral sword disappeared into ash. Shisui stared blankly at the remaining stump.

A simple swing of the sword, this was the first time Yuusuke had used the true power of Ryujin Jakki's Shikai. Although he was able to activate his first form, Shikai, the power he could release was not even at the level of ten percent, simply because his soul was too weak.

But now, with the support of the vast amount of Nine-Tails' yin chakra, Yusuke finally had enough energy to release the true power of Ryujin Jakki. However, since Ryujin Jakka was still the strongest Zanpakutō, even the Nine-Tails' abundant yin chakra would only last a few hits before the chakra was completely used up.

"Impossible, impossible..." Shisui couldn't believe his eyes, he knew Susanoo's power all too well, and wondered how a simple swing of a katana engulfed in fire could destroy his Susanoo's incredibly strong spiral sword.

Ignoring Shisui's surprise, Yusuke said with a calm expression, "Shisui, use all your chakra to strengthen your Susanoo, because the next blow could kill you!"
