Chapter Title: Clash with Uchiha Shisui
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Uchiha Hikaru flicked her left hand mid-charge, sending a shuriken slicing through the air.
The shuriken suddenly split in mid-air into over a dozen more, sealing off all of Uchiha Shisui's escape routes.
"What?!"
Seeing the Uchiha-style traits in the opponent's shuriken throw, Uchiha Shisui didn't dare take it lightly and formed hand seals with both hands.
"Body Flicker Technique!"
In an instant, Shisui's figure began to distort and blur, several body flicker afterimages appearing at his side.
These afterimages swung the kunai in their hands with precise blocks against the incoming shurikens, then switched from defense to offense, charging straight at Uchiha Hikaru.
"Clone Technique?"
When she saw so many afterimages intercept her thrown shurikens, Uchiha Hikaru initially thought it was some kind of cloning ninjutsu.
But as she swung her kunai to clash with them, she discovered these afterimages had no physical substance.
While Uchiha Hikaru was puzzling over what ninjutsu this was, a sense of crisis came from behind her. She whipped her leg back in a reverse kick.
It solidly struck one of the afterimages.
The tangible feedback from her foot told Uchiha Hikaru that it wasn't a phantom or clone.
"A Uchiha brat, huh?"
Glimpsing the three-tomoe Sharingan spinning in the pupils of these afterimages, Uchiha Hikaru grew interested.
Her black pupils abruptly transformed, the three-tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly as it instantly locked onto these afterimages.
At the same time, it saw through the trick behind these afterimages.
Uchiha Hikaru ghosted past the pincer attack of several afterimages like a specter, her figure suddenly blurring.
The next second, Uchiha Hikaru appeared before one of the afterimages a short distance away.
Under the opponent's astonished gaze, a heavy kick slammed viciously into its chest!
Bam!
From this strike, Uchiha Shisui's chest caved in, his entire body sent flying several meters to crash against a large tree.
"Cough cough—"
Uchiha Shisui coughed up a mouthful of blood, the surrounding afterimages dissipating with it.
"Why do you have..."
Shisui struggled to prop himself up, his eyes filled with shock as he stared at the black-haired girl opposite him. Beneath her flowing long hair, a pair of crimson Sharingan eyes coldly regarded him.
This girl, who looked only a few years older than him, was actually from the Uchiha Clan too!
And it was precisely this pair of three-tomoe Sharingan that had seen through his prized Body Flicker Technique!
"I thought it was some clone or genjutsu at first. Turns out it's the Body Flicker Technique."
Uchiha Hikaru held her head high as she slowly approached the injured Shisui.
"You've developed your Body Flicker Technique to its limits. You can use the afterimages it creates for solid attacks, yet turn them into phantoms to evade strikes. Your real body hides among these afterimages—true mixed with false, false with true."
Uchiha Hikaru dissected the secrets of Shisui's Body Flicker.
This involuntarily filled Shisui with deep wariness toward this unknown Uchiha clansman before him.
"Konoha Jounin, Uchiha Shisui."
Shisui clutched the spot where his ribs had snapped at his chest with one hand, gasping for breath as he demanded: "Are you from the Uchiha Clan too? Why have I never seen you before?"
Facing Shisui's question, the appreciative look on Uchiha Hikaru's face soured instantly.
"Tch, Uchiha brat. You can call me 'Nameless'."
Uchiha Hikaru looked down arrogantly at Shisui before her.
Whoosh—
Before her words even finished, several wind blades suddenly assaulted her from behind!
