Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 471 Combo, still combo!

'No! Why does the examiner have such an expression?'

Looking at Harusame's calm eyes, Uchiha Shisui was startled.

Then, with his Sharingan in hand, he immediately noticed the sudden change in the surprised expressions of the audience in the stands behind Harusame.

'Danger!'

Uchiha Shisui's heart immediately started to ring with alarm bells.

But now it was too late.

Just as he turned his head to look at Harusame.

Hozuki Mangetsu, who was still trembling slightly and standing motionless as if he was in an illusion, suddenly raised his hands, made a shooting gesture, and stared at Uchiha Shisui in front of him.

"Snipe Shot!"

Two crystal clear water bullets instantly condensed at the tips of Mangetsu's index fingers.

The two were neither too close nor too far away at the moment, and Hozuki Mangetsu did not deliberately pursue the power and range of the charged sniper shot.

As soon as the water bullet was formed, he fired it out.

Uchiha Shisui turned around and his pupils trembled. He forced his body to turn around, trying to avoid the sneak attack.

However, even with the dynamic vision of the Three-tomoe Sharingan, he could see the trajectory of the rapidly approaching water bullet with absolute clarity.

But at such a close distance, the attack was so covert and fast.

His physical condition, however, does not allow him to keep up with the dynamic vision of his eyes.

"Puff~"

There were two consecutive sounds like a sharp thing entering flesh.

At the critical moment, Uchiha Shisui relied on his excellent nerve reaction to avoid the attack aimed at his vitals with difficulty.

However, it only avoided the vital points.

A large amount of bright red blood burst out from his left arm and waist at the same time.

It was also thanks to Hozuki Mangetsu that he did not accumulate too much power in order to pursue the suddenness of the sneak attack.

Otherwise, half of Uchiha Shisui's forearm might have disappeared by now.

However, compared to the pain caused by the attack, what shocked Uchiha Shisui more was why the opponent could ignore his illusion attack.

The reason why Uchiha Shisui let down his guard after Hozuki Mangetsu being hit by the illusion was not just because illusion was his best way of attack.

The Uchiha with the Sharingan has the reputation of "If you meet him on the battlefield, you must never fight him alone."

The most fundamental reason is that most Sharingan illusions are not like ordinary illusions.

Even if the victim realizes that he has been under the illusion, he cannot break it by means of pain or disruption of his own chakra.

All he could do was hope that his teammates would react quickly and help remove the illusion from the outside.

This also means that in a one-on-one fight, when the enemy is successfully hit by the Sharingan illusion, he is basically like fish on the chopping board, and can only be slaughtered.

But at this moment, the Genin from the Hozuki clan in front of him was able to break this "law".

Of course, Uchiha Shisui naturally didn't know.

Even though he had never used genjutsu in the Chunin Exams.

But Kaito, who had known him for a long time, how could he not prepare countermeasures to help his disciples?

Kaito had taught his four disciples the secret technique 'Safeguard', which could even resist Mangekyō illusions.

It's not just a few disciples. To the powerful and potential Kirigakure jonin like Hoshigaki Kisame and Hozuki Shingetsu, Kaito was not stingy in teaching them the secret techniques.

Basically, after the other party performs well or completes a specific task, he will teach them some moves that are suitable for them.

With Kaito's current strength, he doesn't worry at all that his subordinates might surpass him after learning one or two secret techniques, so he is naturally generous when teaching others.

Therefore, this is what Uchiha Shisui considered to be his intelligence advantage.

From the very beginning it was just his conceited conjecture.

Instead, Mangetsu took advantage of the opportunity to gain the upper hand.

But Hozuki Mangetsu will not be satisfied with this.

Having finally succeeded in a surprise attack with the help of his intelligence advantage, he naturally would not stop his offensive.

After Hozuki Mangetsu fired two water bullets, he didn't even look at the consequences of the attack.

He stepped directly with his right foot on the short sword that he had thrown on the ground.

Chakra flowed through, and the "tree climbing" technique was activated under his feet, firmly attaching the short sword to the sole of his foot.

Then he raised his right leg suddenly and gave Uchiha Shisui a flying kick through the air.

The short sword under his feet was like a rapidly flying arrow, shooting straight towards Uchiha Shisui's face.

Uchiha Shisui, who had just been attacked, had no time to think.

He endured the severe pain from the wound and didn't even have time to pull out the short sword from his back.

He quickly raised his intact right arm and blocked it in front of him with a clenched fist.

"Ding~"

There was a crisp sound of metal clashing.

Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui's right glove had a metal plate installed for protection, so his right hand was not crippled by the subsequent attack.

However, at the same time he completed this blocking action.

The purpose of Hozuki Mangetsu choosing to attack with his feet just now has been achieved.

At this time, Hozuki Mangetsu took advantage of this brief gap and completed the seals with both hands.

"Water Style: Aqua Jet!"

A violent torrent of water instantly gushed out from around Hozuki Mangetsu, and his own body quickly turned into transparent water.

The surging jet of water was like adding several nitrogen-fueled rockets to his body.

At this moment, Hozuki Mangetsu was like a rapidly fired cannonball, and the air was faintly compressed and made an explosion.

A thin stream of water was dragged behind it.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui, who had just used his iron gauntlet to knock away a short sword, was hit in the abdomen with a powerful hammer without any preparation.

He had already been shot in the waist, although the punch did not hit the wound directly.

However, the kinetic energy brought by such a high speed still made Uchiha Shisui feel a sharp pain in his internal organs.

"Puff--"

A large mouthful of blood spurted out of its mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Shisui flew backwards uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string.

With a "bang".

The whole person slammed heavily onto the white wall at the edge of the ring.

In an instant, spider-web-like cracks quickly spread out with Uchiha Shisui's impact point as the center, and gravel fell, raising a cloud of dust.

Uchiha Shisui's figure looked like a rag doll, about to fall from the wall.

Although Hozuki Mangetsu was just knocked away by a punch, he was still not satisfied.

He turned from motion to stillness after throwing a punch, and did not cancel the 'Aqua Jet' state after the attack.

He just stood there, stretched out one hand, and caught the short sword that was knocked away by Uchiha Shisui.

Then he clenched the short sword in his hand and started again quickly.

It was like a jet of water with a tail flame, dragging a long afterimage behind him. He held the sword in both hands and rushed quickly towards Uchiha Shisui's location.
