Chương 29: Chapter 29 - Winner and Loser.

Hearing Yusuke's words, Shisui didn't take it as a joke and immediately strengthened Susanoo by using up more of his chakra. With this, Susanoo quickly acquired muscle tissue, then armor appeared on his body, which gave him the appearance of Yamabushi (mountain hermits in ancient Japan). Shisui immediately transferred Susanoo to the third form, now he had triple protection, while the three layers of protection were intact, no one could touch his body.

However, the price for such power was intense consumption of chakra and great pressure on the Mangekyou Sharingan. Shisui's eyes began to bleed as they reached their limits.

Outside the arena, Fugaku Uchiha's heart filled with regret, not to mention distressed that Shisui's eye power was wasted; moreover, geniuses from the same clan fought in the arena unnecessarily, and the consequences would be unthinkable if something went wrong.

"Shisui deserves respect, he really is an incredible genius of the Uchiha clan. It's just a pity that Sarutobi powdered his brains with useless aspirations and false promises, "looking at Susanoo in the third form, Yusuke sincerely admired Shisui's talent in his soul.

After completing the full fortification of Susanoo, Shisui decided to attack first. It is worth noting that now his mental state was terrible. From the very beginning of the match, he was sure of his victory, but reality proved otherwise, Yuusuke was incredibly strong.

The armor on Susanoo chest flew open, and, to the surprise of everyone present, a scarlet magatama (a curved bead mostly made of jade) appeared inside. Susanoo extended his left hand and drew out the magathami

"Yusuke-senpai, let this move decide the winner!" Gasping for breath, Shisui struggled to get his words out.

Yusuke simply nodded in response and began frantically extracting the remaining Yin chakra from the seal of the two opposites.

At that moment, the spectators in the stands fell silent, the entire arena fell into silence. This is the last clash that will decide who will be the winner and who will be the loser, everyone waited with bated breath.

"Magatami Yasaki!" - a huge scarlet magatami with incredible speed flew towards Yusuke, if Yusuke was hit by it, he would be cut in two.

"Hell fire!" In response, Yusuke pointed the tip of his sword into the sky and released the power of Ryujin Jakki. Eight dazzling fire spheres broke off from the crimson fire and scattered across the arena.

*Boom* A massive explosion rang out, and in the blink of an eye, Shisui was surrounded by eight huge pillars of fire, which began to slowly approach, narrowing the circle.

Feeling the terrible power from the eight pillars of fire, Uchiha Fugaku hurried to strengthen the barrier around the arena with his chakra, while praying that nothing happened to any of these boys.

By this time, Shisui, launched by the magatami, found himself in front of one of the eight pillars of fire, behind which was Yuusuke. The scene that Shisui imagined of his magatami breaking through the pillar and hitting Yusuke didn't happen, the scarlet magatami didn't even make it to the fire pillar before disappearing into ashes.

Shisui's gaze went completely blank as he witnessed this incredible scene. His pupils reflected the same pillar of fire, which destroyed all his plans and dreams. But, Shisui soon came to his senses when he realized that the battle was not over yet and that the pillars of fire were already quite close, he needed to protect himself.

Shisui folded his hand seals and Susanoo repeated after him, bones quickly sprouted from Susanoo's body in all directions, forming six huge bone walls. At the center of each wall was the hideous face of a tengu. Six gates were supposed to protect Shisui and Susanoo from eight pillars of fire.

Shisui barely had time to erect the six bone gates when eight pillars of fire approached the bone walls, approaching the gate, the pillars of fire began to melt the walls, causing them to melt like wax on a candle. Anyone in the audience could tell that it wouldn't take long for them to break through that defense.

"Yusuke, please stop this!" Fugaku's scream was suddenly heard outside the arena. Yusuke turned around and saw that the head of the Uchiha clan was looking at him with a pleading look in his eyes. Understanding the clan leader's feelings, Yusuke sighed and moved towards Shisui.

As Yusuke approached the fire pillars, he could feel that Shisui's aura was already very weak, it was obvious that he was holding on with all his might. But even so, according to Yuusuke's calculations, Shisui wouldn't last more than five seconds.

Yusuke instantly moved to Susanoo's head and plunged the point of his sword into it. This broke Shisui's last strength and Susanoo gradually dissipated. Right after that, not wanting Shisui to turn to dust, Yusuke picked up Ryujin Jakku and, like a whale sucking water, sucked all the fire around them into it, leaving only a huge crater in the center of the arena and scorched earth.

Deprived of Susanoo's protection and almost all of his chakra, Shisui collapsed heavily to the ground, muttering something inarticulate. Yusuke walked up to Shisui and stabbed the zanpakutō into the ground next to Shisui's neck, then looked at him with a stern look.

"Shisui, you're manifesting!" Yusuke said calmly, looking into Shisui's blood-drenched eyes, which had already returned to their normal state time. To be honest, for Yuusuke this fight was absolutely meaningless, after the victory he had neither a sense of delight nor a sense of superiority.

Without the support of the Nine-Tails' Yin Chakra, I would be the loser, Yuusuke thought.

After checking the status of the seal of the two opposites, Yuusuke observed that after receiving Ryujin Jakki "Hellfire", all the accumulated chakra in the seal was almost completely used up.

"With the support of the Nine-Tails' Yin chakra, I barely have the strength to use the basic Shikai Ryujin Jakka moves, and there is also a second form of Bankai. Looks like I need to find a way to increase my yin chakra reserves and find a way to increase my soul power, Yuusuke thought.

Outside the arena, Fugaku Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yusuke spared Shisui and rushed to announce the result of the match.

After the announcement of the result, the whole stadium publicity went into a frenzy as today the fight reached Kage level and was an outstanding show.

Meanwhile, Shisui's eyes, mixed with blood, were slowly leaking tears. Today, he completely failed, he didn't live up to the Third Hokage's hope, he lost the opportunity to gain great importance in the clan, and most importantly, he lost the chance to become a connected bridge between the clan and the village.

After declaring the winner, Fugaku immediately called the medical-nin and instructed them to transfer Shisui to the Konoha hospital for medical treatment. Now, according to the head of the Uchiha clan, the most important person in his clan was Yuusuke, and after him Shel Shisui, who awakened the mangekyou Sharingan at such a young age.

"Yusuke, thank you for showing your kingdom." Fugaku sincerely thanked Yusuke. In discovering the shinobi, life and death went hand in hand and if Yusuke had killed Shisui during the duel, no one would have told him, of course, there were also enough strong people here to prevent such an outcome.

"Fugaku-sama, my opinion about Shisui has not changed, you need to be careful with him. If you don't take him to the side, he will be your biggest sufferer in the future" Yusuke said with a solemn expression.

"I understand, I need to talk to you again," Uchiha accepted Fugaku and examined the young man from head to toe. Seeing that Yuusuke's body did not have the slightest damage, even the clothes were completely intact, Fugaku decreased and increased, "It seems that victory came very easily to you." Now, even I can't see how strong you are."

Yusuke preferred and didn't say anything, but in his heart Yusuke knew that the victory was convenient for him, except that he did not use his Sharingan, he used all his means, including the Nine-Tails' Yin chakra, which was now almost completely revealed.

After a short conversation with Yuusuke, Fugaku Uchiha hurried to storage to check on Shisui's condition. Yusuke didn't linger either and quickly left the stadium.

Many viewers were still excitedly discussing the fight between, and some even began to imitate Yuusuke, fighting each other with bamboo sticks in their hands as swords.

In the VIP box, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo sat in their seats, replaying the fight over and over in their heads. Everything that happened today went beyond their expectations and now they had to think about what to do next.
