Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 42: Fire Ignited

"What is that?"

"A green giant?"

Gasps of surprise erupted from the audience!

The final match of the Chunin Exam was full of unexpected events.

Originally, the audience thought that Akihara Kagura's Wooden Dragon was unique, but then a green half-body giant appeared in the arena, slaying the Wooden Dragon with a single sword strike!

Everyone in the audience was staring intently at the situation in the arena, and they soon noticed two figures beneath the translucent shell of the green half-giant.

Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Shisui.

Without much speculation, many already understood the situation, as most of the ninjas in Konoha had heard of Uchiha Shisui's name.

"So it was Uchiha Shisui who saved Uchiha Itachi?"

"That green giant, is it Uchiha Shisui's technique? I didn't expect Uchiha Shisui to have such a technique!"

Compared to these ordinary people with limited perspective, some recognized Uchiha Shisui's technique, including many from the Uchiha clan who knew the name of this technique!

"The legendary Susanoo!"

"The highest realm of the Sharingan bloodline, a technique that can only be used by activating the Mangekyo Sharingan Shisui has already mastered Susanoo!"

The morale of the entire Uchiha clan was greatly boosted!

Originally, these Uchihas were shocked by Akihara Kagura's Wood Release techniques and even felt that the Uchiha clan had no future when Itachi was about to be defeated. Now, hope was suddenly rekindled in their hearts!

What does it matter if there is another Wood Release ninja in Konoha?

The Uchiha clan also has the Mangekyo Sharingan, which can counter Wood Release!

"Is this... the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Uchiha Itachi looked in amazement at the green Susanoo and then at his friend who had saved him from the crisis, unable to help but lower his head slowly.

That moment just now...

Uchiha Itachi almost thought he would die here.

However, at the moment when the Wooden Dragon was about to strike, Uchiha Shisui suddenly appeared beside him, activating Susanoo to block the Wooden Dragon's attack.

"Shisui... you shouldn't have saved me."

As a child who had always been good at thinking, and under Uchiha Shisui's guidance, Itachi had long understood the internal conflict between the clan and Konoha.

The impact of Susanoo was too great.

Many in the Uchiha clan believed in the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo, and Shisui's Susanoo would undoubtedly reignite their ambitions!

"Itachi, what are you talking about?"

Uchiha Shisui stroked Itachi's head and explained with a smile, "You're like my little brother, how could I just stand by and watch all this happen?"

Uchiha Shisui looked up at the sky again: "Moreover, it's because of my concern that I got confused, right? It seemed like that child's attack paused, did you use a genjutsu on him?"

"Uh-huh..."

Uchiha Itachi slowly nodded, his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes emitting a red light, he whispered softly: "Just now, for a moment, I used my Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on Akihara Kagura, but it seems it was useless..."

"No, it was useful."

Akihara Kagura's voice came from above.

The wooden dragon's body slowly disintegrated and reverted back into vines.

Seeing the threat eliminated, Uchiha Shisui's towering Susanoo also slowly dissipated. He curiously observed Akihara Kagura, who was descending on the vines.

"Your genjutsu almost killed you," said Akihara Kagura, looking at Uchiha Itachi with a frown. "When the examiner asked me to stop fighting, I intended to stop and enjoy the fear on your face. But then I was caught in your genjutsu and lost control of the wooden dragon..."

Uchiha Itachi looked somewhat astonished.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Akihara Kagura fell silent, his words obviously false.

With so many people in the audience during the Chunin Exam, Akihara Kagura didn't believe he could kill Uchiha Itachi on the spot. What great benefit would it bring even if he desperately killed Uchiha Itachi?

He might even get targeted by Uchiha Shisui.

Akihara Kagura's gaze quietly swept over Uchiha Shisui. This man looked harmless, but he could be the most dangerous person present for him.

His memories from a past life provided a piece of information...

Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan could cast a unique genjutsu.

Kotoamatsukami.

Kotoamatsukami, an incredibly powerful technique, could permanently alter a person's will, easily turning them into a puppet for the caster.

Fortunately.

This genjutsu called Kotoamatsukami had a cooldown period of over a decade, and Uchiha Shisui wouldn't use it recklessly. He would only reserve it for critical moments.

Naturally.

If Akihara Kagura really acted recklessly in Konoha and showed a slight attitude of endangering the village, Uchiha Shisui wouldn't hesitate to use Kotoamatsukami on him...

He is a dangerous man.

This is a dangerous technique.

Those are dangerous eyes.

Because anyone who obtains Uchiha Shisui's Mangeky Sharingan can use the Kotoamatsukami contained within these eyes, there is a possibility that they could use Kotoamatsukami on Akihara Kagura, and even just one Mangeky Sharingan would be enough.

Therefore, we must prevent anyone from getting the Kotoamatsukami Mangeky Sharingan, even Uchiha Shisui himself, the owner of these eyes...

Uchiha Shisui is not someone who can protect his own eyes, and being shackled by the ninja world's mindset, he never realizes that these eyes, if they fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, could cause great trouble for the ninja world.

Those who like to use such despicable methods, once they know the true power of Kotoamatsukami, will definitely not pass up the chance to obtain it.

Akihara Kagura is not that kind of person.

Such a method of forcibly altering someone's will using Kotoamatsukami and thereby forcing them to obey commands is too low-level.

"Boring."

Akihara Kagura slightly bowed his head.

"..."

Uchiha Itachi was somewhat at a loss.

Does this guy find fighting with me boring?

"Alright, alright."

Uchiha Shisui patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the outcome of a momentary fight. You two young ones have a long future ahead!"

After comforting Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui looked at Akihara Kagura with hope, "You both possess strong Kekkei Genkai, just like the First Hokage Senju Hashirama and his friend Uchiha Madara who founded Konoha together. I hope you and Itachi can train together in the future to protect the future of Konoha"

"Yes"

Uchiha Itachi always listens to Shisui's teachings.

"Then do your best to protect Konoha."

Akihara Kagura nodded at Uchiha Itachi.

Compared to Shiranui Genma, who can only shout to stop the fight, Uchiha Shisui actually seemed more like an examiner.

However...

Uchiha Shisui was still too naive.

In this Chnin Exam, Uchiha Shisui uses Susanoo to stop Akihara Kagura's Wooden Dragon, igniting the ambition of the Uchiha clan.

Can Susanoo solve the First Hokage's Wooden Release?

Can't it also solve the group of Konoha higher-ups of the Third Hokage?
