In a corner of the Training Ground.
"Let's introduce ourselves and get to know each other," Uchiha Shisui suggested.
He paused, then continued, "I'll go first. I'm Uchiha Shisui, and I'm skilled in the Body Flicker Technique, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, and Fire Release."
"I'm Might Guy! Burning youth is my middle name! My specialty is Taijutsu!" Might Guy struck a classic pose.
When it was Aokawa's turn, he originally intended to just say he was a Medical Ninja as usual.
But considering they were already on the Battlefield, he felt his teammates should have a clear understanding of his strength.
So, he listed his abilities: "Aokawa. I'm skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Kenjutsu. I possess long-range attack capabilities and large-scale strike methods, and I also have a basic grasp of the Five-Element Ninjutsu."
Hearing this long list of introductions, even Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
This range was far too broad, wasn't it?
Could a person truly be proficient in so many things at this age?
Even for those exceptionally gifted Elite Jonin, it was impossible to be skilled in multiple fields simultaneously.
Uchiha Shisui fell silent for a long while, deciding he needed to see if their definitions of the word'skilled' differed too greatly.
He suggested again, "A simple introduction like this isn't very intuitive for understanding each other's abilities."
"For better coordination in the future, how about we have a brief spar?"
Might Guy nodded vigorously.
He had been listening to the two of them whispering for ages without understanding a word; a fight would let him know their strength immediately.
Aokawa already had an understanding of Uchiha Shisui and Might Guy's strength, but since both had agreed, he nodded and accepted.
Uchiha Shisui's gaze first turned toward Might Guy.
Might Guy was instantly fired up: "Come on! Let the hot blood of my youth burn!"
The two of them moved to an open space.
After forming the Seal of Confrontation, they both moved at the same time.
They didn't use Ninjutsu, clashing purely with Taijutsu.
Might Guy's attacks were wide and powerful, full of strength.
Meanwhile, Shisui relied on the advantage of the Body Flicker Technique, constantly dodging and looking for an opening to counterattack.
Kakashi and Uchiha Obito, who were nearby, also leaned in to watch.
"That thick-eyebrows guy is really good at Taijutsu," Uchiha Obito said, somewhat surprised.
Kakashi, with his hands in his pockets, nodded. "Guy's Taijutsu is indeed very strong!"
"However, you can't win with brute force alone."
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Shisui caught Guy in the gap between the end of one move and the start of the next, forcing him back with a kick.
"Your Taijutsu is very strong," Uchiha Shisui evaluated seriously.
"You're faster!" Although Might Guy was at a disadvantage, the Battle Intent in his eyes grew even stronger.
As he spoke, he clenched his fists and tucked his arms against his ribs, preparing to open the Gates and go all out.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing!"
Seeing this, Aokawa hurriedly blurred forward and held Might Guy down. "Guy, it's just a simple spar. What are you trying to do?"
Might Guy seemed to just realize where he was. The Battle Intent in his eyes faded, and he scratched his head. "Haha, I got excited for a moment and forgot."
Uchiha Shisui turned his gaze toward Aokawa. "Senior Aokawa, please guide me."
"Alright."
The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere instantly changed.
If the spar with Guy just now was a collision of power and speed, then this was a duel of technique against technique.
Shisui didn't let his guard down for a second. His figure flickered as he activated the Body Flicker Technique, and several afterimages attacked Aokawa from different directions simultaneously.
Chakra condensed under Aokawa's feet as he activated Hirenkyaku. His body also turned into a white shadow, weaving through the afterimages.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Fists and feet constantly clashed in the air, producing dull thuds.
Aokawa struck out with a palm, aiming directly for Shisui's chest Acupoints.
Shisui's Sharingan had already seen through the attack trajectory. His body twisted at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding it, while the Kunai in his hand slashed toward Aokawa's waist.
Instead of retreating, Aokawa advanced. His left hand precisely parried the Kunai, while his right hand formed a claw, reaching for Shisui's wrist.
The movements of the two were so fast that the surrounding Genin were dazzled.
Superb Body Flicker movements carved afterimages in the air; for a moment, multiple Aokawas and Uchiha Shisuis appeared in the field simultaneously.
"They... both of them are so fast!" Rin Nohara covered her mouth, her face full of wonder.
Uchiha Obito watched dumbstruck. For the first time, he discovered that the 'pretty boy' who was always hanging around Kurenai Yuhi actually had the strength to face the Genius Shisui head-on.
Kakashi's dead-fish eyes also widened slightly. He could tell that neither of them was using their full strength yet.
At that moment, Uchiha Shisui suddenly leapt backward, creating distance.
He looked at Aokawa in the field and slowly drew the Ninja Blade from his back. "Senior Aokawa, let's try Kenjutsu."
"Sure!"
Uchiha Shisui nodded. Seeing that Aokawa's waist was empty, he prepared to go and grab a Ninja Blade from the sidelines.
"No need for that trouble," Aokawa called out to him.
He extended his right hand, and a blue-white light of Chakra suddenly lit up in his palm.
Immediately after, a Ninja Blade, crystal clear as if forged from blue ice crystals, appeared in his hand.
Spirit Blade!
"This is...?" Seeing this energy blade appear out of thin air, Uchiha Shisui's expression became solemn for the first time, his grip on his Ninja Blade tightening instinctively.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is that?" The crowd watching let out a chorus of exclamations.
"What a beautiful blade!" Rin Nohara's eyes sparkled, her gaze full of admiration.
Girls always have no resistance to beautiful things.
Kakashi's dead-fish eyes were now wide open, his pupils trembling slightly. "It's actually... a Ninja Blade completely condensed from Chakra!"
At this moment!
He was more shocked than anyone else present.
Because he had truly fantasized about the scene of fighting with a Ninja Blade condensed from Chakra.
But despite being hailed as a Genius since childhood, he had faced repeated setbacks when trying to develop this Ninjutsu.
Because to condense Chakra into something as solid as a physical object and maintain it at all times...
...the requirement for Chakra control was extremely, extremely high.
So high that even someone as brilliant as he was couldn't reach that level.
And yet!
Today, someone had used it right before his eyes.
Aokawa didn't care about the gazes of others. He looked at Uchiha Shisui ahead of him, gripped the Spirit Blade, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Clang!
In the next moment, the crisp sound of clashing metal rang out in the field.
Each holding a Ninja Blade, the two of them steadily blocked each other's powerful strike.
The blue-white Spirit Blade collided with the silver-white Ninja Blade, sending out a shower of sparks.
Looking at each other from inches away, Chakra suddenly condensed in their eyes.
"Byakugan!"
"Sharingan!"
