Chapter 182 Battle between Horse and Shisui
"no problem."
When Mimori heard Kazuma's request, he smiled slightly, then looked at Kyosuke in the distance, his eyes seemingly burning with fire.
"I will kill him."
You kill people at the drop of a hat, don't you even consider your own condition?
Kazuma didn't think that Yamori, who had fought three battles, was capable of killing Kyosuke.
"The Konoha group is clearly led by Kyosuke, so Kyosuke's strength is at least no weaker than Asuma's. Abe Moriichi, you are not in good condition right now, and you have exposed a lot of information in the battle. Taking all factors into consideration, I think you should reconsider."
Mi Shou snorted and said, "If he hadn't stopped me, Asuma wouldn't be alive. I must avenge this!"
As far as Kazuma was concerned, Yamori's defeat was acceptable, as long as he could gather some information about Kyosuke, so he stopped trying to persuade Yamori.
"Uesugi Kyosuke, if you dare to make a move, I will retaliate and let me see if the Uchiha clan is really as strong as the legends say."
With a calm and unhurried attitude, Kazuma stood before Shisui.
Compared to Kazuma's tall stature, Shisui appeared quite short.
Asuma frowned, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Kyosuke, no matter how talented Shisui is, he's still too young. There might be danger for him."
Asuma didn't think Shisui would win, and Kyosuke thought so too, except that Kyosuke didn't think Shisui would be in danger.
"Don't worry, over the years he has not only awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, but also gained experience in war. Even if he is defeated, he will be able to escape safely."
Besides, even if Shisui's life were in danger, Kyosuke would still do it.
If Kyosuke isn't allowed to investigate Kazuma's background, he might be in danger.
Kyosuke never forgot the principle of "better to die than to die for one's friend."
Moreover, in this power struggle between the Hokage and the Daimyo, they were merely pawns with little choice and no control over their own destiny.
Sometimes, Kyosuke would think defiantly that assassinating the daimyo might be the simplest way to resolve the problem.
This is just a thought. Like the Hokage, the Daimyo represents not just one person, but a huge interest group. Many of their decisions are a reflection of the will of the forces behind them, and cannot be controlled by them personally.
When a daimyo dies, another one is appointed, unless one slaughters countless people in the Land of Fire, eliminating all lords, nobles, and even the merchants, ninjas, and ordinary people who depend on them.
However, doing so would weaken the Land of Fire's national strength, reduce Konoha's income, and decrease Konoha's ability to fight against other ninja villages, greatly harming Konoha's interests. In that case, Konoha would definitely hunt them down, and they would become enemies of the whole world.
What an awkward world.
In the plaza, Kazuma deliberately avoided Shisui's eyes, while Shisui activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Any powerful ninjutsu requires chakra as a support. The Uchiha's Sharingan is indeed powerful, but how long can your weak body sustain it?"
Kazuma spoke calmly, and began to form hand seals.
Shisui, taking into account the differences in size, strength, and chakra between the two sides, did not act rashly. Instead, he remained vigilant, carefully observing Kazuma's every movement and detail with his Sharingan, while also paying attention to the surrounding environment and thinking about how to win.
"The three-tomoe Sharingan is too powerful; we must find the opponent's weakness as soon as possible."
While Shisui was pondering, Kazuma had already completed the hand seals.
The ground rumbled, and rows of tall rock walls appeared around He Ma and Shi Shui.
These walls interlock and connect to form a massive maze.
"I'm about to start the hunt. I hope you can hold out a little longer."
After speaking with Ma, he walked towards the wall on the right, and his body quickly merged into the wall and disappeared.
Shisui looked at the surrounding walls and frowned.
The walls around him formed a passage only two or three meters wide. The passage turned a few steps away, and Zhi Shui's line of sight was blocked within a few meters.
"Using such a wide-range ninjutsu from the start indicates that he has ample chakra. Coupled with this narrow and varied terrain, it is very suitable for the opponent to launch an attack. We must be very careful."
Faced with this situation, Shisui wanted to use powerful ninjutsu to destroy the terrain or use the Shadow Clone Technique to cover his main body, but his chakra reserves were limited. If he used too much chakra, he might not even have a chance to counterattack, so he had to give up.
The enemy is strong and we are weak, so we must win by using our intelligence.
Shisui waved his hand, shooting out two kunai, one above the other, which embedded themselves in the wall in front of him. Then, stepping on the kunai, he tried to jump onto the wall.
The wall was seven or eight meters high. When Shisui jumped halfway up, Kazuma suddenly appeared on the surface of the wall and attacked Shisui with kunai.
quack quack.
Shisui was pierced by a kunai, and his body split into numerous crows. The crows scattered and flew away, their red eyes looking down at the vast labyrinth.
At the same time, Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique to appear to Kazuma's left side, and suddenly stretched out his right arm, severing Kazuma's throat with the kunai in his hand.
Splash splash splash splash.
Kazuma's body turned into a pile of rubble and fell to the ground. Two more Kazumas appeared on the surrounding walls, attacking Shisui from the left and right. Shisui could only retreat temporarily and then fought with his kunai.
Before long, Shisui used illusion magic combined with physical skills to defeat the two Kazuma.
Just as Shisui had predicted, these two Kazuma were also clones.
Furthermore, four more horses appeared on the surrounding walls and launched an attack, firmly holding Shisui in the maze and giving him no chance to escape.
Seeing this, Kyosuke narrowed his eyes slightly: "This Kazuma is really cautious. He's using attrition tactics. Even if it takes more time, he wants to win with the least amount of cost. He clearly doesn't want to reveal too much of his information during the battle."
Asma nodded: "It seems he's wary of us."
Kyosuke patted Asuma on the shoulder: "You're overthinking it. He's not wary of us, he's wary of me. Now that you've revealed your strength, he's not afraid of your challenge at all."
Asuma covered his forehead speechlessly: "As expected, even though I've grown up now, I still can't stand your trash talk."
As they talked, the situation on the field gradually became clear.
With his abundant chakra, Kazuma used a maze-like formation and clones to launch a relentless barrage of attacks on Shisui. Although Shisui managed to withstand these attacks thanks to his Sharingan, the depletion of the Sharingan was making him increasingly exhausted.
Shisui made several attempts to leave the maze, but all ended in failure.
Meanwhile, Kazuma, hiding in the shadows, used his superb chakra control to divide his chakra into threads, spreading them throughout the labyrinth like a spider web.
These spider webs transmit vibrations from the walls and ground to Kazuma. While not as direct and efficient as visual observation, they still allow Kazuma to understand Shisui's location and dynamics, and adjust his tactics accordingly.
As the battle continued, Kazuma began setting up various traps in the labyrinth, using his clones to attack Shisui.
Boom!
An explosion suddenly occurred on the ground, and fierce flames spread rapidly.
Shisui was shocked. He put his arms in front of his face and immediately backed away to avoid the burns. His arms and clothes were burned in multiple places.
Although he escaped the trap, Shisui was forced into the angle formed by two walls, where flames and walls completely surrounded him.
"A great opportunity!"
Four figures appeared on the wall, and together they attacked Shisui.
Even more terrifying, the kunai in their hands were all covered with explosive tags.
