Chapter 116: The Wooden Man Gets Beaten Down
"Is this... the power of the Two-Tails?" Shisui muttered, cautiously stepping back a few meters.
The two wooden constructs in front of him looked nothing like before. Their bodies were now lined with strange blue-brown patterns, and even their claws had become heavier and sharper. It was clear that Yugito had reinforced them in every possible way with the Two-Tails’ chakra.
Yugito glanced back at the gash across her back, exposing a stretch of pale skin. If Su Xiuyu were here, he might’ve cracked a joke—"What a waste, not using cupping on that." But ninjas didn’t concern themselves with modesty. Even someone like Tsunade walked around half-dressed.
"Shisui, today you’re my training dummy!" Yugito yelled, lunging forward.
After receiving chakra from the Two-Tails, Yugito’s speed was no joke—almost matching Shisui’s. Of course, his movements still fell short compared to the Uchiha’s signature Body Flicker Technique.
The two clashed in a flurry of taijutsu, trading blows with blinding speed. Shisui relied on his agility and Sharingan to find openings, leaving small but precise cuts on the wooden men with his blade. Yugito, on the other hand, fought head-on, shrugging off light injuries and trusting in her regeneration. She wasn’t very skilled, but her raw endurance made her perfect for a Jinchūriki. After all, she had a solid bond with the Two-Tails.
The duel between Shisui and Yugito seemed evenly matched, but Yugito’s squad from Kumogakure was a different story—they were getting wiped out.
There’s a saying in the ninja world: If you face a Sharingan, run.
But what if you can’t?
Caught one-on-one with the Uchiha clan’s red-eyed monsters, the Kumogakure shinobi had no way to escape. The Sharingan’s enhanced perception and illusion capabilities were too overwhelming.
Right from the start, three Kumo ninjas had already died. Now, every survivor was left fending off more Uchiha attackers, unable to regroup or retreat.
