Shinichi fell into a daze as he saw Kuroto hovering in mid-air, with his body wrapped in what appeared to be a Cyan-Chakra Cloak and carrying a Golden Chakra Sword.

He couldn't he but mutter in wonder, "You… what kind of ninjutsu is this?" – As he said that, Shinichi paused and finally said after shaking his head, "No, this isn't some ninjutsu, this should be your pupil technique, right? But Byakugan shouldn't have any such ability." ​​

"There are so many things that you don't know of." – said Kuroto with a light voice.

Kuroto would obviously not explain just What is the Tenseigan? What is Tenseigan Chakra Mode? What is the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion? Etc, after all, protecting his intelligence has become a sort of an instinct for him.

"Is that so? I guess I wasn't wrong, you are really not an ordinary Hyuga, now I can be sure of that." – taking a deep breath; Shinichi gradually calmed down.

Although the Chakra pressure emanating from Kuroto in the Tenseigan Chakra Mode was extremely powerful, it still didn't affect Shinichi too much, but only aroused his eagerness to win against Hyuga Kuroto even more.

Looking at the current state of Hyuga Kuroto, Shinichi was now reminded of the time when he first duelled against him.

Even back then after his loss, Shinichi was able to grasp something that led him to doubt that Hyuga Kuroto is not some ordinary Hyuga, but because Shinichi's loss was too miserable that it even made him embarrass about it; so, he chose not to speak anything about it; because even if he said anything the other Uchiha Clansmen would not pay any attention to his words and just think that he is making excuses to cover his failure.

So, that wasn't worth it, but Shinichi still didn't let go of that.

And now that he has seen the unique pupil technique, Shinichi understood that his initial guess wasn't wrong.

At this time, Kuroto slowly raised his hand to lift the dazzling Golden Sword.

"Well now, this kind of battle is fair." – Shinichi muttered with a strong will, and then shouted, "Hyuga Kuroto, I, Uchiha Shinichi will not lose to you twice."

After leaving this sentence Shinichi exerted more of his Chakra to further enhance his Susanoo that started growing muscles over it and transformed into a half-body warrior Susanoo.

Due to overexerting his eyes, even blood started to drip out of them. But that stops Shinichi to continue…

And a ROAR… echoed throughout the forest following which two more sets of arms appeared on the Susanoo.

As soon as this transformation was completed, Kuroto who was observing all the changes happening immediately slashed the Golden Sword.

At the same time, Susanoo's arms were also raised while a sword made out of dark-green chakra appeared to match the Golden Sword's slash.

Wouch…

With the sound of breaking wind, two chakra-blades projection meet each other sending intense wind pressure to the surroundings.

"Blocked!"

Shinichi was happy that his Susanoo projection sword could block that Golden Sword.

Break…

However, before he could be too overjoyed the sound of cracking reached his ears.

And immediately afterward, one set of arms was cut through and faded away.

And that wasn't it, just moments later the entire Susanoo also started breaking away as various cracks appeared in its skeletal defense.

Although it is said that Susanoo Armour has an almost perfect defense, it still couldn't resist the cutting effect of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Shinichi was highly shocked that Kuroto could cut through Susanoo's perfect defense and immediately flickered away from that spot, as he suddenly had a bad feeling.

As soon as Shinichi disappeared from his spot, the entire Susanoo crumbled.

"Cough-cough…"

Shinichi who appeared on the other side wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and mutter in shock, "This… how could it be possible!?"

Susanoo was easily cut in half?

Shinichi even wondered whether he is under a genjutsu attack.

After all, Susanoo should have a perfect defense! It is the symbol of Absolute.

But contrary to what he thought, the absolute was now broken.

On the other side, Kuroto's expression remained calm.

Since he used only one Truth-Seeking Orb to summon the Golden Sword, so it is understandable that it couldn't cut through Susanoo's defense in one swipe but took a bit of effort.

Glancing on the other side where the rest of the members of Team-11 were fighting, Kuroto muttered inwardly, 'I can't drag this for too long.'

Although both of them are far from the others, it is still possible to sense the movements of the other side, therefore, Kuroto was able to perceive that some of the Cloud ninjas are rushing here.

Shinichi who was ignored for a moment roared in frustration, "Damn it, where do you think you are looking? I still haven't lost yet."

Without waiting for Kuroto to turn over, Shinichi urged his Mangekyou and again the projection of Susanoo covered his body and immediately punched Kuroto with all four of its arms.

Punch… Punch… Punch… Punch…

…

At the same time on another part of the Battlefield.

Shisui who was surrounded by a dozen or so Chunin and Jonin looked anxiously in the direction where Kuroto and Shinichi were fighting.

Although Shisui isn't a sensor-class, he was still able to perceive Susanoo's Chakra Fluctuation and understood that Shinichi has used the mighty Susanoo armor.

Shisui perfectly understands the power of Susanoo and that's why he wasn't worried about Kuroto-San's safety.

In Shisui's mind, Kuroto-San, who could flatten an entire valley along with hundreds of Cloud ninjas in a few minutes has long surpassed the level of Mangekyou Sharingan and is undoubtedly the current strongest in Konoha.

Therefore, Shisui wasn't worried about Kuroto-San's safety but Shinichi's safety, Shisui doesn't want Shinichi to die!

While Shisui was worried about Shinichi's safety, a young Kunoichi walked in from the other side.

From just a single glance, Shisui realized who she is and his face sank.

It's because the person is none other than the Nibi's Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, a Jonin of Kumo.

As Yugito Nii walked in, the clear anger and coldness in her eyes didn't escape Shisui's perception as she said, "Huh… Konoha Anbu Team-11, this time I finally caught you guys!"

Shisui immediately questioned with anger, "Are you Kumo shinobi so shameless that you again want to break the Peace and start the War!?"

"Peace? War?" With a cold smile, Yugito Nii continued, "If not for your rat tricks in the Land of Hot Water, Konoha would have already been under our control"

"And what about the destroy-…"

Before Shisui could finish his words, a sudden golden light flashed across the horizon that not only attracted his attention but also attracted Jinchuriki's attention as both of them wondered, 'What happened over there?'
