Bang!
Just as Shisui's thoughts were racing, Yu's Surpassing Whirlwind Whip swung out, tracing a dazzling trajectory.
Instinctively, Shisui used Body Flicker to evade, but the formidable Surpassing Whirlwind Whip shook violently in the air and quickly snapped back, delivering a fierce blow that sent his Flame Blade flying out of his hand.
'This is bad!'
Seeing himself exposed before Yu, Shisui was instantly filled with shock, a strong sense of crisis surging within him.
Dragon Claw!
Sure enough, Yu wouldn't let this fleeting opportunity with Shisui slip by. His Armament Haki-coated hands formed into three dragon claws.
With a burst of powerful chakra and strength, a full-force strike formed a giant black dragon claw made of pressure in the air.
Boom!
Before the dragon claw's pressure reached him, its immense force made Shisui pause for a moment, barely managing to raise his hands in defense.
Facing this terrifying Taijutsu that shatters everything, despite Shisui frantically activating Body Flicker Jutsu to retreat, he couldn't help but be violently shaken away!
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!!"
As his body was sent flying from the cliffside by Yu, Shisui, flying horizontally in the sky, had no time to consider the pain on his body. With gritted teeth, he instantly formed hand seals.
In the blink of an eye, Shisui, in mid-air, took a deep breath and suddenly spewed out several exploding fireballs. Then, he quickly drew out several kunai from his ninja pouch and threw them.
"Quite resilient..."
"But the battle is already over, Shisui."
Standing on the cliffside of the canyon, sensing that Shisui, who had been sent flying by himself, was still able to counterattack with Ninjutsu while in mid-air, Yu couldn't help but admire, but his hands were already forming seals in sync with Shisui.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Biting Explosion!!"
As the words fell, the S-rank secret technique of Water Release Ninjutsu was unleashed. Under the shocked gazes of Anko and Itachi at his feet, Yu standing on the cliffside seemed to conjure up a large amount of water out of thin air.
One after another, dozens of immensely powerful water currents formed into towering water pillars in an impact wave. They dispersed and extinguished all of Shisui's Fire Release and kunai in front of him. The residual force didn't stop there. The immense water currents instantly formed into a roaring water dragon, fiercely attacking and ravaging towards Shisui in the sky.
"Damn... It's an S-rank Water Release..."
"My Ninjutsu is completely countered by him..."
Although it was just a brief skirmish, Shisui, who was still in mid-air, was swept away along with the roaring gigantic water dragon in front of him, directly crashing into the opposite cliffside of the canyon.

'Am I going to lose again?'
'No... the battle is not over yet!'
The immense water currents generated by the S-rank Water Release forcefully pinned Shisui onto the opposite cliffside of the canyon. At this moment, Shisui, drenched from head to toe, found even lifting a single arm to be a strenuous task.
However, this absolute adversity only further ignited Shisui's unyielding will. Driven by intense competitiveness, as he opened his eyes once again, the black three-tomoe Sharingan had transformed into the shape of a four-pointed windmill!
If a ninja from the Hyuga Clan with the Byakugan observed at this moment, they would notice that the blue chakra within Shisui's body had unexpectedly turned into a peculiar green color.
"God-Killing Spear: Nonstop Continuous Blade!!"
Just as Shisui was about to unleash the most powerful dojutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan, at that very moment, accompanied by a light shout from Yu on the opposite side, Shisui froze.
In the reflection of his suddenly widened Mangekyo Sharingan, terrifyingly long beams of light burst forth at an unimaginable speed, as if slicing the entire expanse of air in front of him into smithereens in an instant.
!
'My body... I can't move?!'
Despite the far superior vision of the Mangekyo Sharingan allowing Shisui to barely capture the trajectory of the God-Killing Spear, he was horrified to find that as soon as he tried to move, his body was as immobile as if it were encased in cement!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Several sounds of shattering reverberated in just an instant.
Amidst this myriad of light beams that severed everything, Shisui only felt a tremor in his ears. In the next moment, the entire cliffside of the canyon behind him vanished in an explosion, leaving behind one enormous hole after another.
"What... what is this..."
After an unknown amount of time had passed, as the light dissipated before him, the successive and rapid releases of the God-Killing Spear by Yu finally turned into dust and vanished.
A drop of blood trickled down. Shisui, with a wound on his cheek, stared wide-eyed with his Mangekyo Sharingan, frozen in place like a statue made of mud and wood. The entire canyon fell into an eerie silence.
"What... what was that?!"
At this moment, gazing at the cliffside behind Shisui, which had been shattered and exposed to the night sky and moon beyond by the God-Killing Spear, Itachi and Anko also stood completely stunned.
Looking at Yu standing on the other side of the canyon's cliff, the only image lingering in their minds at this moment was the beams of destruction and awe that had just torn through the air.
"My God-Killing Spear can reach a length of up to 13 kilometers, and its speed can reach 500 times the speed of sound."
"Even if your Mangekyo Sharingan can barely see the trajectory, your body cannot react in time."
In the dead silence of the canyon, Yu jumped down from the cliff and looked at Shisui, who was still stunned there, and calmly stated a fact.
"3 to 0, once again, I won."
Indeed, at 500 times the speed of sound, it would only take one-thirteenth of a second to reach from 0 to 13 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, the speed at which the God-Killing Spear erupts is so fast that even strong Kage-level ninja may not be able to react in time.
Even Shisui, who possesses Mangekyo Sharingan with dynamic visual acuity far beyond ordinary people, was no exception. The fact that he could barely react just now is enough to prove that his strength has surpassed that of ordinary Kage-level ninja.
'500 times the speed of sound?'
Upon hearing Yu's words, Shisui, feeling somewhat lost and bewildered, pupils contracted. Then, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "So it seems... Your strength has reached such a level..."
Retracting his Mangekyo Sharingan, Shisui's eerie crimson eyes reverted to their original black color. After adjusting his mood, a somewhat self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. "I didn't even force you to use Puppetry. This time, I truly lost completely."
He had thought that he could at least force Yu to resort to Puppetry. However, Yu's strength had already reached such a level that even powerful Sharingan Genjutsu had no effect on him. Unless the strongest Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, was used, Shisui truly could not see any hope of winning.
"Shisui... actually lost."
As the battle ended, looking at the two young boys in front of him who were performing the Seal of Reconciliation, Itachi with his Sharingan activated wasfilled with shock and emotions.
Although he knew Scarlet Yu, renowned in the ninja world, was very powerful, seeing his friend Shisui, whom he had always admired and pursued, defeated before his eyes, Itachi still felt an unprecedented strong impact in his heart.
