Chapter 383: The Death of Shisui

Chapter 390: Chapter 390: The Death of Shisui Just as he landed, the White Snake Sage approached and greeted him respectfully, saying: "Master, your sage art has achieved great success, your might pressing down upon heaven and earth; this old one congratulates Master!"

Sora waved his hand, saying: "It’s merely initial success; subsequent refinement still requires time."

The White Snake Sage quickly said: "I was just about to report to Master."

"During Master’s seclusion, the situations in the Land of Lightning, Land of Earth, and Land of Wind have seen no major changes."

The White Snake Sage paused, her tone becoming slightly more serious, saying: "However, the Land of Water... continues to apply pressure on Konoha, with constant border skirmishes; three conflicts of considerable scale have broken up within just the past month."

Sora nodded; this was within his expectations.

"However..."

Sora frowned slightly, asking: "Died? How did it happen?"

"As for the specific process, this old one has a recording here."

Sora took the crystal and infused it with chakra.

The crystal projected a somewhat blurry image. Clearly due to the distance and the interference from the battle’s aftermath, the picture shook constantly.

...

A green Susanoo stood towering in the center of the battlefield. It had only a torso and arms, but its presence was astonishing.

Behind him stood three Anbu from the Uchiha clan, all at Jonin level. Among them was Uchiha Ryota. All three were injured, and one had a hole pierced through his chest, already lifeless.

One wore a black robe and a swirling pattern mask—it was Obito.

The last one carried a large blade on his shoulder, his shark-like face discernible even through the mask—Hoshigaki Kisame.

"Uchiha Shisui, your Body Flicker Technique is indeed formidable, but in this forest thoroughly soaked by my Water Release, just how much of your speed can you still utilize?"

Obito spoke coldly: "Enough chatter. End this quickly."

"Bakuton · Landmine Fist!"

Boom!

Shisui gritted his teeth, his right eye’s Mangekyō spinning wildly.

The Susanoo’s chest opened, and countless green chakra arrows shot out violently, blanketing the entire battlefield!

Hoshigaki Kisame swung his blade, parrying the arrows one by one.

"Water Release · Great Shark Bullet Technique!"

Crack——

Sora analyzed the situation in his mind as he watched the footage.

With his ’Shunshin no Shisui’ speed, even if the forest was waterlogged, breaking through shouldn’t have been impossible.

Sora observed closely and noticed Shisui’s gaze repeatedly sweeping across the surrounding trees and sky.

Soon, he understood.

Although unclear, that unique chakra fluctuation...

Sora understood in his heart.

No wonder Shisui didn’t choose to flee—it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he couldn’t.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Shisui’s Kotoamatsukami was too twisted; Nagato was certainly afraid of it.

Therefore, Nagato had to ensure Shisui died here.

In the footage, the battle reached its climax.

"Kamui!"

Shisui’s pupils contracted sharply, his right eye’s Mangekyō also spinning.

Both activated their dōjutsu almost simultaneously!

Kotoamatsukami’s beam passed through the afterimage, shooting towards the rear—

Kari’s body stiffened; the light in his eyes behind the mask instantly faded, then cleared again.

"Bakuton · Lightning Burst Wild Dance!"

"What?!"

Boom rumble!

Obito’s expression under the mask turned extremely grim.

"Ryota, prepare to move out!"

But he gritted his teeth and persisted, pressing his palms together.

Boom——

A warrior’s armor, wings spread wide, right hand wielding a massive spiral sword, and within those outstretched green wings, the outlines of two long blades could vaguely be seen!
