Chapter 301: Kotoamatsukami: Beams of Light

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu!!"

Several complex hand signs were swiftly completed in Shisui's hands. In an instant, an incredibly scorching red flame erupted in the night sky. Shisui and his Shadow Clone each released a total of six massive dragon-shaped fireballs, carrying an astonishing high temperature as they rapidly surged toward Yu.

Not only that, but in the moonlit night, a gust of wind pierced through the air. Shisui, who had activated the Body Flicker Jutsu, followed closely behind one of the dragon-shaped fireballs. The sharp short sword in his hand emitted a cold light, perfectly combining Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Shadow Clone, having performed the Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu, was not idle. Countless Shuriken in his hands transformed into black streaks of light, swiftly cutting through the air and throwing them at Yu's blind spots from various tricky angles.

After all, Shisui, who personally taught Itachi his Divine Shuriken technique, made every single Shuriken in battle even more powerful and efficient than most Ninja's Ninjutsu.

"Shisui, even a genius like you... can't you see the gap between us by now?"

Facing multiple high-temperature dragon-shaped fireballs from both Shisui and his Shadow Clone, as well as countless shuriken flying through the air, Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. His amber eyes seemed to reflect the cold, solitary moon in the sky.

"Break White!!"

As these calm words fell, Yu, standing in place without even lifting his eyelids, suddenly unleashed the power of the awakened Thread Fruit ability. Shisui felt the ground beneath his feet surging like waves.

Yu had arranged tens of thousands of transparent white threads horizontally, creating an attack like a raging sea wave. The countless white threads around him surged upward, effortlessly blocking all the Fire Release and Shuriken attacks as if twisting a rope.

Immediately, Yu crossed his hands sharply. The countless white threads, like huge waves in front of him, directly shredded Shisui's Shadow Clone and, as if they had a mind of their own, crazily chased after the real Shisui!

"Amazing..."

"Turning everything around him into threads and completely controlling them, in such a domain, he has become an omnipotent god!"

Faced with the madly pursuing tidal wave of white threads and the countless sharp white threads rising from the ground, Shisui, using Wind Release: Body Flicker Jutsu, seemed to transform into dozens of identical figures. However, his Three Tomoe Sharingan revealed an extremely serious expression.

Seeing that everything around him had turned into transparent white threads under Yu's control, Shisui could hardly imagine what kind of Ninja could defeat Yu in such a domain.

"Residual Shadow Clones? They don't exist..."

Watching the countless illusory Shadow Clones created by Shisui's Wind Release: Body Flicker Jutsu, Yu, controlling countless transparent white threads, burst forth with two incredibly sharp beams from his eyes. "Even if each of these were real, I could crush them one by one!"

Not good!!

Sensing the sharpness in Yu's eyes, Shisui, using Body Flicker Jutsu, felt a wave of intense danger surge through his heart.

"Thousand Arrows: Flap Thread!!"

The awakened power of the Thread Fruit erupted wildly. With a sharp forward wave of his hands, thousands of Armament Haki threads instantly rose from the ground around Yu's feet. They formed shapes resembling the wings of a flamingo and shot forward like countless arrows piercing through the heart.

Boom, boom, boom...

The countless black threads shot out like a barrage of arrows, instantly piercing the ground and creating numerous holes. They engulfed all the illusionary Shadow Clones that Shisui had created, forcing Shisui's real body out from within the indiscriminate large-scale attack.

"Ugh..."

Hit by countless piercing strikes, the intense pain made Shisui groan involuntarily as he fell to the ground, sliding back several meters and carving out a long trench.

"All your meridians and acupoints have been pierced by my threads..."

"Stop struggling, Shisui. You can't even move a finger right now."

After knocking Shisui away, Yu stood amidst the countless white threads rising around him, looking calmly and indifferently at Shisui lying on the grass.

Just now, all the threads had been pierced into Shisui's body using the Rabbit Hair Needle technique. No matter how strong Shisui's Body Flicker was, in front of Yu, he was like a moth caught in a spider's web, unable to escape.

"What terrifying power..."

"It's something beyond what humans can achieve."

Lying on the ground, Shisui showed a wry smile and spoke with difficulty.

Even though he had trained for the past two years and could easily handle an ordinary Kage-level Ninja, facing Yu in his awakened Thread Fruit state was beyond his capabilities.

"I didn't expect you to still be able to speak..."

Seeing Shisui, whose meridians and acupoints had been pierced by his threads, still able to speak, Yu was about to take a step forward when his expression suddenly changed!

"What is this?!"

The Shisui lying on the ground in front of Yu suddenly transformed into a swarm of crows that scattered in all directions.

Genjutsu? Or a Crow Substitution?

Impossible. Since the beginning, my Observation Haki has been locked onto his movements. He couldn't have had the chance to use Genjutsu or Substitution Jutsu... Countless guesses flashed through Yu's mind in an instant.

In fact, ever since Yu had dealt with those dozens of Cloud Ninja, Shisui's sudden and eerie appearance in front of him had given Yu a vague sense that something was amiss, though he couldn't immediately pinpoint what it was.

"If we fought under normal circumstances, I might have already lost..."

"But here, I can control everything..."

The crows flying in all directions cawed as they reformed Shisui's figure in front of Yu.

What happened next surprised Yu even more—the surrounding environment began to change with Shisui's reappearance. The night sky emitted a mysterious glow, and even the dense forest around them began to fade away.

"What is this..."

Yu looked around in disbelief at the changes in his surroundings. The previously dark night sky had become as bright as day.

Suddenly, a massive scarlet Sharingan slowly appeared behind Shisui, displaying a black, four-cornered pinwheel-shaped tomoe.

"Mangekyo Sharingan..."

"Could this be..."

A terrifying realization surfaced in Yu's mind as he observed these transformations.

"This is the ultimate Genjutsu..."

"No power can oppose this Genjutsu..."

With his blood-red, eerie Mangekyo Sharingan open, Shisui stared at the incredulous Yu in front of him. A flicker of struggle and helplessness crossed Shisui's eyes, but it ultimately resolved into a look of firm determination.

"Turn to dust here, Yu!!"

As Shisui's words, carrying a tone of judgment, fell, Yu was horrified to see the bright-as-day sky begin to burst with boundless radiant light. The endless golden beams exploded down, making it almost impossible for Yu to keep his eyes open.

Seeing this unbelievable scene, Yu instinctively tried to manipulate Kaio to open the door to a different dimension and escape, but was shocked to find that his Devil Puppet was unresponsive, and even his own body could no longer move!

"Ahhhhh!!"

Yu watched helplessly as billions of golden beams from the sky exploded downward, striking him and pulverizing the ground beneath him. Both he and the surrounding earth were reduced to dust and scattered away...
