Chapter 23: Shen Yue's First Showdown with a Talented Immortal – He Meets with Ease and Capture
"Bang!"
The two men's arms collided, producing a dull thud.
The air currents surged and churned, causing the clothes of Shenyue and Dilu to flutter loudly.
"Kamizuki, you dare to assassinate a daimyo! Even Fugaku Uchiha can't protect you!" Jiraiya shouted sternly, ignoring his numb arm.
"Stop nagging!" Shen Yue completely ignored him.
His attack was blocked, and he slid back half a step using the force of the recoil, while his hands became a blur of afterimages!
With his hands moving swiftly, he formed seven hand seals in less than a second.
"Such fast hand seal speed... wait, his attack isn't aimed at me?!"
"Oh no!" Di Lu saw Shen Yue rapidly forming hand seals and immediately became fully alert.
However, the next moment, he sensed that something was wrong; Shenyue's attack did not seem to be aimed at him.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
After completing the hand seals, Shen Yue unleashed a powerful fireball directly at the arrogant fake daimyo.
boom!
A huge fireball, three or four meters in diameter, rolled rapidly, its intense flames condensing, its golden light dazzling, and its heat astonishing, carving a deep, dark trench in the ground.
Even from a distance, Di Lu could sense the terrifying power contained within.
"Oh no, Lord Daimyo!" Jiriku was so frightened by Shingetsu's attack that he was scared out of his wits.
The fake name remained seated, trying to escape.
After all, White Zetsu's combat strength is really just average.
"There's no other way, this is the only option!" In the critical moment, Jiroku didn't even have time to think about why Shingetsu suddenly attacked the daimyo, nor did he care to investigate his motives.
All he knew was that he absolutely could not allow the daimyo to be harmed before his very eyes!
"Drink it!!"
Di Lu let out a loud shout, his voice as booming as a bell, which seemed to make the beams and pillars inside the hall hum.
He held nothing back, and the chakra within his body erupted like a river bursting its banks!
"A talent from the Celestial Race. Welcome! Thousand Hands Slaughter!"
hum!
A dazzling golden chakra light shot into the sky from the ground!
The light was sacred and majestic, temporarily suppressing the firelight.
In the light, Di Lu's figure seemed to grow incredibly tall. His eyes were wide open in anger, and his face was solemn like a Buddha and awe-inspiring like a Vajra due to extreme focus!
With his roar, a golden Thousand-Armed Guanyin phantom with countless arms faintly appeared in the void behind him!
Although the phantom was slightly blurry, its immense pressure and sacred aura were real and undeniable, filled with the supreme power of Buddhism in subduing demons and monsters!
Di Lu thrust both palms forward with a sudden burst of energy!
"Stop it!"
The Thousand-Armed Guanyin phantom behind him moved accordingly. Not all of the countless "Buddha's Hands" formed from golden chakra attacked. Instead, the most solid arms were layered upon each other, like lotus blossoms or an impenetrable wall, suddenly meeting the roaring, scorching fireball head-on!
Boom!
Flames and golden light collided fiercely!
The deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire side hall!
Blazing waves of fire and golden chakra fragments burst forth wildly in all directions!
The sturdy walls were scratched with countless cracks, the exquisite carpet was instantly reduced to ashes, and the tables and chairs inside the hall were torn to pieces by the shock wave!
The terrifying heat and impact of the Great Fireball, which was enough to melt gold and iron, were actually mostly blocked by Di Lu's Thousand Hands Kill at full power!
The remaining flames were also dispersed by the phantom of the Buddha's hand, turning into a shower of fiery streams that drifted down from the sky.
However, the purpose of the land-based system is not merely defense!
While using "Thousand Hands Kill" to intercept the Great Fireball, several golden fist imprints, like streaks of light, bombarded Shen Yue.
The speed and power far exceeded the previous physical sparring with Shen Yue. It was clear that he was serious and wanted to severely injure Shen Yue in one blow!
"A very good ninjutsu, but it's not enough against the power of the Uchiha!" Shen Yue remained calm in the face of this terrifying attack.
The Sharingan spun rapidly, clearly capturing the trajectory of Jiraiya's fist imprint, which moved as fast as a golden streak of light.
At the same time, his body soared into the sky like a bird, dodging and weaving with the agility of a dragon and the speed of lightning, dodging all of Di Lu's Thousand Hands Killing attacks.
"You're the first person to be able to dodge my Thousand Hands Kill! Is this the power of the Uchiha?!" Jiraiya was also surprised to see that his ultimate attack was completely dodged by Shingetsu.
Shen Yue's gaze shifted, passing over the aggressively charging Di Lu and landing on the high seat behind Di Lu.
In the blink of an eye, Di Lu's attention was drawn to the fireball, and he resolutely turned around to intercept and counterattack.
"The Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
A figure appeared out of thin air behind the fake Da Ming.
Without any warning, without any sound, it was faster than the eyes could capture!
It's Uchiha Shisui!
He had already clung to the back of the fake name like a ghost!
The two were very close!
"What?!" The smug look on the fake name's face froze instantly.
The speed and stealth of the still water were completely beyond his perception range!
He wanted to turn and run away, to use ninjutsu, to call for help, but it was all too late.
Shisui's hand was already gently placed on the back of the fake daimyo's neck.
With the other hand, the index and middle fingers are joined together and held upright in front of the chest, forming a simple hand seal.
His eyes turned crimson at that moment, but the pattern in his pupils was not the usual three-tomoe Sharingan, but a complex shape like a four-cornered shuriken—the Mangekyou Sharingan!
The icy gaze silently surged into the mind of the fake daimyo.
This is not an ordinary Sharingan genjutsu, but a powerful genjutsu based on the Mangekyou Sharingan!
Its power is ten times stronger than Shenyue's strongest Golden Binding Illusion Technique.
The goal is to temporarily control their actions and senses, creating an opportunity for subsequent interrogation.
As for "Kotoamatsukami," that's the last resort, and it will never be used unless the true identity of the other party is confirmed or it's absolutely necessary.
"Oh no, Fei, save me!" The fake name's body stiffened abruptly, his pupils dilated suddenly, and all the expressions on his face vanished instantly, leaving his face blank.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out, and his body was unable to move, frozen in place.
All of this, from Shingetsu's initial move to Jiraiya's Thousand Hands Kill, to Shisui's appearance and control of the fake daimyo, happened in an instant.
Jiro had just blocked Shingetsu's attack and his mind was not yet fully recovered from the shock when he felt a powerful and unfamiliar burst of chakra and eye power behind him.
He turned around abruptly and just happened to see Shisui controlling the fake daimyo, as well as the chilling kaleidoscope pattern in Shisui's eyes.
"Shōshin Shisui?!" Jiraiya exclaimed in shock, his face showing even greater astonishment than when he witnessed Shingetsu's attack.
The renowned "Shisui of the Body Flicker" from Konoha has actually appeared here, and he subdued the daimyo with a single move?!
"Is the Uchiha clan about to rebel?"
