Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha

In another forest!

"That assassin attacked the Hyuga Hiashi team!" Uchiha Shisui looked in the direction of Hyuga Hiashi, his brow furrowed.

He felt a bit regretful.

The assassin hadn't attacked his team.

If he could capture that assassin, then the Uchiha clan's status in Konoha would improve, and the Hokage wouldn't always suspect the Uchiha clan first whenever something major happened in the village.

He wanted more opportunities to prove himself, to earn the Hokage's trust and change how the Uchiha clan was seen.

"Let's go, we'll support Hyuga Hiashi!" Uchiha Shisui led his team, narrowing his eyes. The first thing that came to his mind was to support Hyuga Hiashi!

The ninjas behind him nodded, preparing to follow Shisui and offer support.

And so,

The team relaxed.

But at that moment,

A figure suddenly shot into the crowd, moving at an incredible speed. Kunai in hand, it struck one of the ninjas, while shuriken attacked several others!

The ninja who was struck by the kunai didn't dodge in time and died instantly. Two more ninjas were injured!

In an instant,

One dead, two injured!

Who?

The moment the figure made its move, Shisui had already noticed, throwing three shuriken, but all of them were blocked by Genya's defenses!

"You are the assassin!" Uchiha Shisui frowned, his expression becoming extremely serious.

In just a split second, he had lost one jonin and had two ninjas injured!

As he spoke,

He took a step forward, and at the same time, five figures appeared beside him.

Genjutsu? Shadow clones, combined with space-time ninjutsu?

Genya looked at Shisui, his eyes narrowing. Not to mention anything else, Shisui alone could hold off his shadow clones, and he also wanted to test Shisui's Body Flicker Jutsu!

Everyone says it's an unbeatable ninjutsu?

He wasn't convinced!

"I'll block him. You guys send a signal. That assassin with Hyuga Hiashi over there is definitely a fake, it's just to confuse the Hokage!" Uchiha Shisui continued walking forward, while reminding those around him.

The person next to him nodded and quickly fired a signal flare!

As the flare was fired, Uchiha Shisui and Genya's shadow clones were already engaged in battle!

Boom~~ Boom~~

Six figures rushed toward Genya at the same time. Each figure could possibly be the real body!

He could only defend against one of these figures at a time!

But!

If you charge up and strike at a fake figure, your power will be suspended in mid-air, leaving you unable to make other moves!

Uchiha Shisui took advantage of this moment to launch another attack on Genya!

If Genya guessed that the attacking figure was a fake, and didn't charge up to block, the fake figure would then turn into the real body, sending Genya flying!

In the brief encounter, Genya had already realized the terror of Shisui of the Body Flicker!

This should be a form of space perception enhancement ability within Shisui's Sharingan. No wonder he's considered a genius of the Uchiha clan—such abilities aren't common among clan members!

No wonder!

He has short-distance space teleportation. In terms of teleportation, Uchiha Shisui is unbeatable in short distances. This is the terrifying power of the Sharingan. You can never fully anticipate the abilities of the Sharingan!

But, for long distances, only the Fourth Hokage excels. In the ninja world, he uses the Flying Thunder God technique most comprehensively.

"Shisui of the Body Flicker... truly troublesome!" Genya muttered as his shadow clone spoke. Meanwhile, Uchiha Shisui closed in again!

Boom~

However,

Just as the six figures got close, an invisible force sent them flying!

Shisui's real body was thrown back. Two shadow clones exploded, and even though he used space-jumping, the damage could not be avoided!

"Such terrifying repulsion!"

As Shisui stood up, two more shadow clones appeared beside him, and they attacked Genya again!

At this moment!

He had confirmed it—this was the assassin!

The strange ability, the invisible barrier!

He must capture this assassin!

"No wonder he's a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan. He's really tough!" Genya covered his head, but soon opened his eyes again, softly muttering to himself, "Although this consumes a lot of mental energy and will speed up the disappearance of my clone, there's no other choice. The enemy is too strong!"

The last murmur was only heard by him.

However, as those words fell, black flames began to spread out from beneath the mask, attaching themselves to Shisui and his shadow clones!

The black flames followed them like shadows!

Shisui didn't have the immense chakra of the Nine-Tails to push away the black flames, so he could only allow them to attach!

The moment he saw the black flames, Shisui became even more certain!

Yes, this was the assassin!

He attacked again!

But this time, it was easier to tell apart!

Shisui's space-time jump also had a time limit, he had to activate it 0.3 seconds before touching the target.

However,

The black flames were like maggots, continuously attaching themselves to Shisui and his shadow clones. This allowed Genya to quickly and clearly pinpoint Shisui's space-jump position.

With his Sharingan activated to track movements, everything slowed down in his eyes. Even though he only had 0.3 seconds to react, he had a way to deal with it!

With the addition of Shinra Tensei, he could match Shisui evenly!

At the very least, he was no longer at a disadvantage!

If his main body was present, he might overpower Shisui, and just the released black flames alone could drain Shisui's chakra during the struggle!

But he was just a clone, without using any chakra, and yet his eyes had to calculate the chakra distribution with absolute precision!

"Lord Shisui, we're here to help!" Other ninjas tried to step forward to assist, but were stopped by Shisui:

"No, you only need to attack him from a distance. Do not come any closer!"

From his earlier engagement with this person, he was certain that if they came any closer, they'd be finished!

He couldn't let that happen!

What he needed to do was keep this assassin occupied and wait for the Hokage to arrive!

"Not coming closer? Fine, let's see who can outlast who!" Genya chuckled.

Now, all he needed to do was stall—keep Shisui busy and avoid some ninjutsu attacks!

Once his real body completed the mission, they'd disappear!

And so, Uchiha Shisui and Genya's clone engaged in a battle, neither side gaining the upper hand!

This was the outcome Genya was most happy to see!

In the forest.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was rushing toward the Hyuga Hiashi's location, but halfway there, a signal suddenly came in:

"Whose direction is that?"

"Lord Hokage, it's the team led by Uchiha Shisui!" someone reported.

Now, the team was in a dilemma—where should they go?

"Hokage-sama, that assassin is very cunning. The attack on Hyuga Hiashi might be a distraction to mislead us. The real target is the team led by Uchiha Shisui!" Sarutobi Eisuke analyzed seriously.

Most of the others nodded in agreement.

"Then let's head towards Uchiha Shisui's direction!" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, immediately changing course toward Shisui's team.

But just as he'd walked about three or four miles, another distress signal came from the Hyuga Hiashi side!

And it came in three rapid bursts, indicating how urgent the situation was!

"Huh? There's danger on the Hyuga Hiashi side!"
