Chapter 377: Special Training
In the ninja world.
Sasuke Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha were seen inside an arena within the Light Village. One could tell, based on their faces, that they had been sparring.
In a combative stance, Shisui wore a white cloak that billowed slightly against the wind. His eyes, hidden behind a blindfold, betrayed nothing of his emotions, but his stance was relaxed and confident.
They faced each other with focused expressions as Sasuke kept his fists clenched and his Sharingan active.
Then, without haste, he launched the first attack by charging forward.
"Chidori!"
The lightning chakra crackled as he thrust it toward Shisui. Shisui evaded the attack by sidestepping and flipping. Then he closed the distance and countered by slamming Sasuke to the ground.
Sasuke hit the dirt hard but rolled to his feet quickly, refusing to show weakness. He then looked up and smirked, saying, "I almost had you."
Shisui lowered his stance and offered a faint smile. "Yes... almost. But not quite. Though I can’t deny that you’re getting better, Sasuke.
Sasuke brushed dirt from his clothes before rising to his feet and deactivating his Kekkei Genkai. He was undeterred by the fall.
"I still have a long way to go," he admitted. "I need to get stronger."
