"During the spy elimination operation, there were spies who escaped to Starfall Valley in the south. The three Anbu that went after them disappeared. Team Leader Shisui brought two of his men to investigate, but we've lost contact with them. Rai Uchiha said his summoned beast would report once every twelve hours, but it has been more than fourteen hours since Team Leader Shisui arrived at Starfall Valley.
After listening to the Anbu's report, Nagasawa finally got the gist of what happened.
Nagasawa then dismissed the Anbu and then opened the panel to check his Prosperity and Points.
Shisui was not just a nobody. Konoha's Prosperity should drop if Shisui was dead, even if not much.
But when Nagasawa looked at it, he found that let alone dropping, the Prosperity even increased a little, and he got an additional 50,000 points.
Because of that, Nagasawa immediately guessed Shisui's current situation.
Shisui was definitely alive, and he had even awakened Mangekyō Sharingan. His strength had risen explosively and he had reached Kage-calibre Shinobi.
Although Shisui was still alive and had awakened Mangekyō Sharingan. Most of his teammates had sacrificed themselves, but Nagasawa did not know if it was just one or both.
At the very least, that Rai Uchiha must have died. Otherwise, he would've contacted Konoha.
Nagasawa rubbed his brows. It was rare to see such a calm and outstanding Uchiha, but he actually lost him just like that.
Nagasawa found Land of Fire's map and noted down the location of the Starfall Valley. He left a shadow clone in the office and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave Konoha, heading towards the Starfall Valley.
Although he knew that Shisui was not dead and had awakened Mangekyō Sharingan, Nagasawa was not sure about Shisui's current situation.
The opponent was able to kill Shisui's teammate, causing Shisui to awaken Mangekyō Sharingan. Who knew if the enemy had the ability to deal with Shisui as well even though he had awakened Mangekyo Sharingan.
Perhaps Shisui was still struggling right now, waiting for his rescue.
...
Shisui was sure that he had never seen such a creature in this world.
Its entire body was made of an unknown metal. It looked a bit like a human, but it had six arms. His chest could suddenly shrink and release a blue laser. It had no eyes or nose on its head, only a transparent plate emitting a blue light.
"Hisashi, retreat! You only need to assist me from a safer position."
Shisui eyed the unknown robot while letting Yoshino Hisashi retreat. Even if he had awakened Mangekyō Sharingan, he was not too confident in protecting Yoshino Hisashi in battle.
His luck was really bad. This time, his opponent was an unknown artificial object, not a living being.
Even if he had the most potent Genjutsu, it would be useless if against mindless machines.
Shisui had already tried it. He focused his Mangekyō Sharingan at what he suspected to be the robot's eyes and used an ordinary Genjutsu. It had no effect at all.
His Kotoamatsukami should have no effect either based on this result.
"Danger Aura carrier 1/2, continue to carry out the mission."
The robot said some words that Shisui could not understand, and then aimed at him.
Whoosh!
A blue energy beam was condensed again and shot towards Shisui at lightning speed.
However, Shisui was no longer the same Shisui from before. Although Genjutsu was useless against robots, his perception had been drastically enhanced.
Shisui's Chakra burst out. He was so fast that he left behind afterimages, dodging the robot's beam.
Rumble!
The blue light beam hits the ground, directly creating a huge pit on the ground, blowing away a large amount of mud and stones.
As Shisui moved, he swiftly made a series of hand seals, and in an instant, a large number of clones appeared on the ground, a total of more than a hundred.
This was Shisui's specialty, Body Flicker that left behind tangible afterimages!
If Shisui really wanted to, he could leave more afterimages, but why would he waste his Chakra?
Therefore, not all of these afterimages were shadow clones. Most of them were just ordinary clones.
There were only eight shadow clones among them, while the others were ordinary clones that were used to confuse his opponent.
However, what Shisui didn't expect was that the robot determined the target based on the energy it carried, not their appearance.
In the robot's display screen, Shisui's main body was firmly locked in place.
The robot ignored the other clones. The three meter-tall steel ran, smashing all the clones in its path.
Seeing the robot rush towards him without the slightest hesitation, Shisui also knew that another move of his was useless. This robot actually had a Sensory-like ability.
Shisui had to dodge left and right again, thinking about how to deal with this big iron chunk.
"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!"
Yoshino Hisashi was also very anxious. Out of desperation, he created a five-meter-tall earth wall to stop the robot in its track.
Unfortunately, Yoshino Hisashi's Earth Wall was not strong enough. The robot easily smashed the earth wall with its steel body and continued to march toward Shisui.
Although the robot was huge, it was not slow. It could keep up with Shisui's footwork closely.
Shisui could only delve into the dense forest and slow down the robot by using the dense trees as obstacles.
There was no need for detour in the eyes of the robot. It would charge straight at its target.
It was not Shisui's style to sit still and wait for death. Shisui had been thinking about how to counterattack. First, he tried to use Shuriken to pierce the transparent plate that emitted blue light.
However, the robot had six hands. Every time Shisui aimed for the transparent plate, the robot would defend with its two hands on the top and attack with the other parts.
It smashed everything in its path with its path and blasted its target with its laser.
Shisui had no choice but to continue running.
On top of having six hands, it could attack with laser and defend against Ninjutsu.
But even in the forest, the trees were limited. Soon, the small forest that was originally full of dense trees turned into ruins of collapsed trees.
Shisui gritted his teeth, and a large amount of Chakra was exuded from his body. Green chakra enveloped Shisui, and finally turned into ribs that enveloped him along with two arms.
Shisui could feel a sharp pain in his eyes. This was the price of using his ability.
Shisui did not know whether the robot had Chakra, but he knew that it needed the energy to move.
The fact that it did not keep firing lasers was a very good proof.
If it didn't consume energy, the robot would continuously fire laser, and Shisui would have to use his Susano'o earlier.
In order to wear down the robot as much as possible, Shisui had been deliberately running around.
Now that the robot did not have much energy and he still had enough Chakra, it was time for him to make a move!
