บท 59: Chapter 59 : Shia Vs Sasuke 5
With a thud, Shika fell to the ground, his arms numb, and he was cursing internally at both Kakashi and the Hokage.
'He is too fast. I can barely cope, even if I remove my weights, but he won't let me. I need to buy some time.' Shika thought as he quickly tried to form a plan. Knowing that he couldn't handle Sasuke the way he was right now, he needed to come up with a plan quickly.
He tried to feel his numb hands again; to cast jutsu, he needed them. 'Need to buy some time.'
"What the hell, what did you do? How did you suddenly get this strong?" Shika shouted out, making Sasuke, who was ready to attack him again, stop as he looked at his own hands and just smirked.
"Hahaha… you don't need to know. Just understand this much: you can't beat me." Sasuke, getting his ego stroked and hearing that he was strong, chuckled and instead of attacking directly, responded back.
Shika, behind his back, was working really hard to recover his numb hands and circulate blood again in them with his reverse curse technique.
"Why were you holding back until now?" Shika asked. Technically, he wasn't supposed to know anything about Sasuke having the curse mark, so he could ask this question.
It's fine even if Sasuke doesn't answer; he was just buying time.
Sasuke, on the other hand, after hearing this question, didn't answer. What could he tell? But then, being the shameless boy he was, he finally opened his mouth.
"Ah, you're not even worth me using my full power."
'What the fuck?' Shika couldn't help but curse after hearing this. Hell, he might even believe this bastard if he didn't know better.
His eyes twitched with frustration, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I see. Then I believe there is no reason for me to hold back either. Kid gloves are off now," Shika replied as he instantly moved his hands. His hands already had their blood flow back and, within a split second, formed multiple hand signs.
Of course, to prevent Sasuke from copying this particular jutsu, he threw a smoke bomb to hide his hand signs.
Though he personally didn't believe that the following jutsu was something Sasuke, who heavily relied on his eyes, would copy, still, prevention is better than cure.
Sasuke, seeing this, thought that Shika was trying to hide or use his shadow against him again. So he keenly watched the area with his Sharingan.
But the next second, the area started to fill with mist.
Other shinobi seeing this were a little taken aback.
'Hidding in the mist Jutsu' Shika smile as he form and sign in the smoke quickly and cast the jutsu.
"Hmm hindering his sight, good choice." Hiruzen smile a little after seeing what jutsu Shika was using, due to Kurenai even he knew that Shika has recreated this jutsu from the hidden mist.
Sasuke seeing the mist was taken a back, he currently don't have any jutsu to handle the mist. And inside inside the mist his Sharingan is useless. Not to mention his Sharingan is not completely developed like Kakashi's three tomoe Sharingan.
After the mist over the area Shika quickly change his place and the first thing he did was to remove the weight he was wearing to even out the speed a little bit.
And while both Sasuke and Shika were blinded by the mist, people outside the mist as the mist was only covering the fighting ring right now, people were getting excited.
"Hey, what is going on? Why did the mist suddenly come up?" Naruto asked.
"Idiot Naruto, this is, of course, Shika's jutsu. He did something," Sakura shouted back.
Kakashi, who was beside them, narrowed his eyes as he knew what technique this was. It was from the Hidden Mist. Now he was wondering how Shika learned this technique.
And more than anything, why use this? This technique is useful for hiding, but the user too will lose their sight.
After all, not everyone is like Zabuza, who can, even after getting practically blind, land hits on the target.
Which is true; not even people in the Hidden Mist can do what Zabuza casually does. They don't call him a demon for nothing.
But what Kakashi didn't know was that right now Shika had the same skills and talents as Zabuza. And in the last three months of training, he had learned how to use Zabuza's skills.
Meaning that now he didn't need his dogs to help him in the mist. He still wasn't as good as Zabuza, but he could navigate his way around the mist now.
"What's going on?" Tenten asked, and Neji, beside her, used his Byakugan to see through the mist.
That was one problem with the mist; Byakugan can see through it. And right now, Shika had no way to handle that.
Hinata stiffened on seeing the mist as she remembered the last time Shika used that mist technique. It was a massacre.
The other members of Team 8 were also the same. They all learned later on what Shika did in Waves. Now, upon seeing the jutsu again, they couldn't help but frown.
Both Hinata and Neji saw that Shika was at the edge of the fighting ring and was taking off the weights he was wearing on his legs and waist.
Seeing this, both of them had their eyes widen a little. Neji, because he knew what kind of difference weights can make, and Hinata, because all this time she had been training with Shika but still hadn't noticed he was using weights.
Inside the mist, Sasuke was on defense. He found that he too was running out of time. After all, he couldn't keep the curse seal open as he pleased.
So he had to end this fight quickly, but the only problem was that his Sharingan was useless in this mist.
Seeing that he couldn't do anything by just standing there and also internally thinking that there shouldn't be any particular way for Shika to see him in this mist either.
"You know, the person from whom I copied this jutsu was called the Demon of the Mist. Let's see how effective his technique was," the voice came, and Sasuke again took a defensive position.
And the next second, a kunai came flying at him from the mist, making Sasuke quickly react to dodge the upcoming attack, but that was only a decoy.
From the entirely opposite side, Shika appeared, targeting Sasuke's blind spot.
And this was all possible for only one reason. He learned from Zabuza how to move quietly so the enemy can't sense your movements.
Sasuke blocked the kunai, but due to that, he couldn't see Shika coming at him from the other side. This was another good technique he learned from Zabuza's arsenal.
Shika directly landed a punch at Sasuke's side, making him wince in pain as he used his curse Energy in that punch to buff it up.
Shika has learned that when it comes to physical power, Curse energy gives a better buff to him instead of Chakra, not taking Tsunade's chakra to infuse power inclusions of course.
But still Shika by no means was a physical powerhouse or he want to hurt Sasuke too much and he didn't use kunai and thus Sasuke wasn't that hurt.
And before Sasuke can get back to him, he was again gone in the mist like he was never there in the first place.
Seeing this Sasuke gritted his teeth. He truly didn't have any way to hurt Shika now.
