YM778.TV Chapter 841 - Uchiha Shisui Defeated?
Instantly, the fighting arena was covered in a Four-Purple Flame Formation, and the commotion in the stands finally subsided.
The spectators who were injured were sent to the Infirmary, and the collapsed rubble was cleared.
Even if order was restored in the stands, the battle between Kuroto and Shisui continued and the audience’s shock did not diminish. They never expected that just watching the battle between two Hokage Candidates could be so dangerous.
‘This is really another level!’ such a thought flashed in the minds of all the spectators as they compared this battle with the battles of the Chunin Exams that they see quite often.

VIP Stands
Although Sandaime was displeased with all the ruckus, he did not criticize anyone. The change just now was too sudden, let alone the sealing division and the shinobi responsible for maintaining order, even he was taken aback.
At this time, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire spoke in a nervous tone of voice, “Witnessing such a battle is really dangerous!”
Sandaime smiled wryly, “Please forgive us… It was a mistake on our part that such a ruckus occurred. Appropriate measures have been taken, there won’t be any problem going forward.”
Daimyo nodded, “It’s all right.” And added, “But I must say, those two seem to be really strong. It’s reassuring that Konoha has excellent ninjas.”
Sandaime explained proudly, “The ones fighting are Uchiha Shisui–from the Uchiha Clan–and Hyuga Kuroto–from the Hyuga Clan–Both of them are excellent and trustworthy.”
Daimyo nodded with a smile, “I see.”
The stronger Konoha is, the more prosperous the Land of Fire will be. Therefore, Daimyo’s concern towards Konoha is not just for show, he is genuinely concerned.
Moreso when the terrorist organizations are more and more active in the Elemental Nations. Daimyo hopes that Konoha’s Hokage is someone who can stand up to the leaders of these terrorist organizations so that the Land of Fire remains safe.
Hiruzen turned his attention back on the battle between Shisui and Kuroto as he wondered, ‘This is strange… since when did Kuroto’s strength improve so much? Or was it always this good and we never realized it? I might have to ask Kakashi.’
Although Shisui’s relentless and violent attack did surprise Hirzen, what really baffled him was Kuroto’s response to these relentless attacks. This entire time, Kuroto has been effortlessly dealing with Shisui’s offensive. As if, it’s nothing and he is used to it!
At this time, Kazekage Pakura said, “Such a battle… I am afraid only those with Dojutsu can have, right?”
“I don’t want to admit it… but yes.” Replied Raikage in response to Kazekage’s question.
Ay–while using the ‘Lightning Chakra Mode’–can move with such speed, however, such delicate movements and precise attacks are not up his alley. The amount of information that he perceives at such a fast speed is too much for him to be able to process in such short intervals of time, and even if he can react fast enough, it wouldn’t be elegant enough.
This is something only shinobi with Dojutsu Kekkei Genkai can do.
Their every movement, every attack, and every strike are made after careful analysis.
“Such an enviable talent Konoha has.” Sighed Onoki.
In everyone’s eyes, Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Kuroto are testing their skills, but in Onoki’s vision, two Konoha Shinobi are simply showing off their strength. And people like him can not help but envy Konoha for having such capable shinobi in their village.
Unlike Raikage and Tsuchikage, Mizukage had a calm expression. He is aware of the true strength of the Shisui and Kuroto, therefore, he does not react much to their current fighting.
Even with the support of lightning stimulation, moving at such a fast speed for so long is a bit difficult for Shisui. Soon, people started to notice that the number of figures was decreasing.
Of course, despite the number of figures decreasing, the intensity of the battle continued to increase.
Because of the impact generated by the clash between Kuroto and Shisui cracks continued to spread throughout the arena.
If not for the timely use of ‘Fuinjutsu: Four-Purple Flame Formation!’, the stadium would have reached close to collapse by now.

Candidate Waiting Area
Feeling the constant tremors, Jiraiya couldn’t help but mutter in amazement, “He has been able to hold on for so long? Moreover… that chakra covering him… it’s really…”
Kakashi explained, “Just like me… Kuroto has been mastering ‘Eight Inner Gates’. Although his use is a little different from how Guy and I use these gates… but the effect is similar… that’s why, he is able to keep up with Shisui.”
Jiraiya nodded in understanding, “I see… that makes sense.”
As one of the Sannins, Jiraiya understands the power of ‘Eight Inner Gates’. So, when he learned that Kuroto had also learned to open the ‘Eight Inner Gates’, he quickly accepted Kuroto’s strength. With that forbidden Taijutsu, it is indeed possible.
‘But… there’s still something amiss in all of this.’ He thought inwardly. Jiraiya has a feeling that they have been overlooking something, but he can not point it accurately what’s amiss.
Whoosh!
“Tsunade-sama, I am back!” At this time, Shizune appeared with a panting breath and gave her a smile that meant, ‘It was a success!’
‘Good!’ nodded Tsunade and breathed a sigh of relief.
For the first time, she felt that the God of Gambling must be helping her this time. If not, Shizune wouldn’t have succeeded at such a critical moment.
While Tsunade was pleased, Shizune was surprised to find that the battle between Kuroto and Shisui was not finished, “Huh, the match isn’t finished yet?”
Just as Tsunade was about to answer Shizune’s question…
Clang!
Suddenly a crisp metallic sound echoed. Then a rotating broken blade flew high into the sky.
Everyone’s gaze was attracted towards that broken blade.
As the broken blade pierced the ground, the spectators were shocked to find that the broken blade was part of Shisui’s Tantō.
What’s more shocking is that the shard edge of Kuroto’s sword was resting on Shisui’s neck!
“That… is the fight over?!”
“Uchiha Shisui’s Tantō is broken?”
“Hyuga Kuroto’s sword is resting on Uchiha Shisui’s neck?!”
“Does that mean Uchiha Shisui lost?”
“Hyuga Kuroto won?”
“Didn’t Uchiha Shisui have the upper hand?”
The sudden change surprised the audience, and the Uchiha Clansmen were more shocked. They did not expect such an end to the battle.
Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!
Suddenly, the cawing of crows was heard all over the stadium. And soon everyone was once again surprised to find the body of Uchiha Shisui turning into a murder of crows and dispersing into the air.
“Ohhh… it turns that that was Shisui’s Crow Clone Technique!”
“Damn… for a moment I thought that Shisui lost!”
“How is that possible? Compared to Shisui… Hyuga Kuroto’a ain’t that good!”
“Heck yeah… he should be proud that he has been able to hold on for this long.”
Looking at the surreal scene of countless crows in the sky, the morale of Uchiha Shisui supporters was immediately at its peak.
Kuroto smiled and sheathed his sword as he raised his hand, and shouted, “Fight!”
