Chapter 188
"Escaped?"
A few dozen meters away, Uchiha Shisui realized that he remained unharmed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had reacted in time and avoided the opponent's pupil technique.
The Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities were extremely dangerous—if one wasn't careful, they could be fatally trapped in an opponent's illusion or dojutsu.
"As expected, he's fast!"
Seeing Uchiha Shisui appear dozens of meters away in an instant, Uchiha Fugaku raised an eyebrow.
Shisui's Body Flicker Technique was legendary, second only to the Second Hokage and Fourth Hokage, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
As for whether he was faster than the Fourth Raikage, that remained to be seen.
"However, no matter how fast your flicker technique is, my True Illusion activates even faster!"
A smirk curled on Uchiha Fugaku's lips.
Even though Shisui had physically dodged, he had already fallen into the True Illusion—he simply hadn't realized it yet.
"Open the Sixth Gate—The Gate of View!"
"Open the Seventh Gate—The Gate of Wonder!"
"Open the Eighth Gate—The Gate of Death!"
Uchiha Fugaku's skin cracked, blood-colored steam erupted from his body, and his hair turned crimson red.
In terms of raw movement speed, he wasn't as fast as Shisui—but he had found a way to compensate.
His solution? Using True Illusion to enter the Eighth Gate state!
When he first trained in the Eight Gates, he had considered Shisui as a potential opponent—and now, his preparation was paying off.
Whoosh—
Like an erupting volcano, Uchiha Fugaku shot toward Uchiha Shisui.
"Eight Gates… and he opened the Death Gate?!"
Shisui's face changed drastically.
As an Anbu, he was familiar with Might Duy's Forbidden Jutsu. He understood the cost of opening the Eighth Gate—and more importantly, he understood the sheer destructive power it unleashed.
Whoosh!
Without hesitation, Shisui activated Body Flicker and disappeared from the spot.
Boom!
A fraction of a second later, the ground where Shisui had been shattered like a spiderweb.
A massive crater, several meters deep and dozens of meters wide, appeared in the impact zone.
At its center, Uchiha Fugaku stood amidst a blood-colored mist.
And that had just been a single step.
Peng!
Fugaku vanished, his body now a red blur, charging after Shisui.
"No way—he's even faster than me?!"
Shisui's expression paled.
For the first time in his life, his Body Flicker wasn't enough.
Boom!
Fugaku's fist cut through the air with devastating force, launching a punch at Shisui.
Shisui barely had time to raise his katana in defense.
Snap!
The blade shattered—and Fugaku's fist continued forward.
"Susanoo—!"
Tears of blood leaked from Shisui's eyes as a green Susanoo materialized around him, forming its second stage.
This armored ethereal warrior had visible muscle and veins and wielded a spiral sword in its right hand.
Boom!
Fugaku's punch collided with Susanoo.
Crack—!
Susanoo skidded backward, cracks spreading across its chest.
Even with Susanoo's enhanced defense, it couldn't completely absorb the force of Fugaku's raw power.
And this wasn't even Fugaku's strongest attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shisui's Spiral Sword spun, launching countless green chakra arrows at Fugaku.
"Evening Elephant—!"
Fugaku's fists struck the air repeatedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The compressed air cannon blasted forward, tearing through the green arrows and slamming into Susanoo.
Crack, crack, crack—!
Susanoo's structure fractured, resembling shattered pottery.
"Third Form—!"
Shisui's expression hardened as he pushed more chakra into his eyes.
Susanoo transformed, donning a full suit of green armor, significantly increasing its defensive power.
Now, even with the force of the Evening Elephant, it was able to withstand the onslaught—though barely.
As Susanoo staggered backward, the surrounding forest was obliterated in the wake of the attack.
"Compared to Might Guy, my use of the Eight Gates is still lacking!"
Fugaku gritted his teeth.
Despite his overwhelming power, his entire body screamed in agony—he wouldn't last long in this state.
He had to end it now.
"Night Guy—!"
The blood-red aura around him surged into the shape of a dragon's head.
Roaring, the crimson beast charged toward Shisui, carrying the full force of Yagai's ultimate strike.
Sensing the imminent destruction, Shisui prepared his final defense.
Boom—!
Fugaku's foot collided with Shisui's Spiral Sword—and shattered it.
Then, his attack continued, smashing into Susanoo's chest.
Crack—!
The entire structure fractured, then shattered completely, leaving Shisui fully exposed.
"I have to use Izanagi—no, wait!"
As the attack closed in, Shisui suddenly realized something.
Although True Illusion was exceptionally deceptive, it was still an illusion.
And Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan specialized in genjutsu resistance.
Finally, at this critical moment, he saw through the illusion.
"Break!"
With a surge of ocular power, Shisui forced his way out of the illusion.
Snap—!
The world cracked, then shattered like glass.
The True Illusion was broken.
And Night Guy—the attack that would have killed him—never reached him.
