Chapter 76: Lower Man

Those hazy memories instantly revived in her mind.

Seeing Chizhao's sudden realization, Shisui's lips curved into a smile.

The two clones simultaneously took Chizhao's tender little hands, gazing at her with gentle eyes as they patiently explained.

"This technique, created by integrating the Sharingan, allows me to achieve instantaneous high-speed movement between clones."

As he spoke, one of the clones' hands seemed to pass through her palm like a phantom.

"Sometimes, I can become intangible, leaving only an elusive afterimage in your eyes."

Immediately after, Chizhao felt her other hand being firmly gripped by a force:

"And at other times, I can materialize and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."

Feeling the warmth emanating from her palm, Chizhao's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't this like Obito's Kamui intangibility?

This is simply an incredibly overpowered skill.

"So what's the weakness of this technique?" Chizhao asked curiously.

The two Shisui stood before her, each spreading their left and right hands, motioning for her to clap them.

With a crisp "Pah!" sound, Chizhao's palms simultaneously struck the two seemingly solid yet ethereal hands, but no sign of intangibility appeared.

"I see! As long as you attack each Body Flicker simultaneously, then no matter which one, it will cause you harm."

"Correct answer!"

Chizhao felt both excited and apprehensive about this Ninjutsu, which bordered on being a bug.

"Is it really okay to teach me such a powerful technique? I actually just wanted a normal Shadow Clone to pass the exam."

Shisui, knowing the truth, burst out laughing, making Chizhao feel as if her cheating had been accidentally exposed.

She lowered her head, nervously fiddling with her fingers.

"It's alright, the Body Flicker Technique, judged by the naked eye, is no different from a Shadow Clone."

He gently placed his hand on Chizhao's head, his eyes full of tenderness and hope.

"And with you having this technique, I'll feel a bit more at ease for you, who doesn't have Chakra."

Looking at Shisui's smiling eyes, Chizhao took Shisui's hand from her head, clasped it with both of her own, and her eyes sparkled with tiny lights.

"Thank you, Shisui-nii! I'll bring you lots and lots of taiyaki in the future!"

Shisui felt the warmth in his palm, and tenderness surged in his heart.

He clasped Chizhao's small hand back, his smile deepening:

"Alright! Then you must visit often!"

Chizhao nodded heavily, looking at the young man before her, a wave of relief washing over her.

Thankfully, Shisui-nii wasn't an enemy; thankfully, Shisui-nii hadn't sacrificed himself.

After understanding all the principles of the Body Flicker Technique, Shisui demonstrated the Body Flicker Technique once more.

Chizhao threw out the Membrane Card, and saw one of Shisui's figures captured within the Membrane Card.

The Membrane Card returned to her hand after it formed.

Body Flicker Technique.

The image was a blurry shadow, with a golden border around it.

If not for the text label above, it would be impossible to tell what kind of Ninjutsu it was with the naked eye.

"Teacher! Shisui-sensei! I... I finally... found you!"

Just then, a breathless figure ran from another path, supporting his knees and panting heavily.

When he clearly saw the girl beside Shisui, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face filled with shock.

"Violent girl!? What are you doing here?"

Chizhao, who had originally been smiling at Uchiha Toru, heard this and her face instantly darkened.

"Bottom feeder! Why can't I be here!" Chizhao retorted unceremoniously.

Uchiha Toru was choked into silence, only able to look at Shisui with a puzzled expression.

"Let me introduce you," Shisui said with a smile: "Chizhao, Xiao Tou is a student I've been teaching recently. Xiao Tou, Chizhao is my younger sister; she came to find me because we haven't seen each other in a long time, so you two must get along well~"

"Sister?!"

Looking at Shisui's "kind" smile, Xiao Tou quietly swallowed the question in his throat, his imposing manner instantly vanishing, his attitude abruptly changing, making a 180-degree turn.

"I... I understand, I didn't expect to see you here, Chi... Chizhao..."

As he stammered out the girl's name, Xiao Tou's gaze became flustered and aimless, darting around.

The tips of his ears even subtly flushed crimson, appearing exceptionally striking in the sunlight.

During his time at the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Toru always presented himself as an arrogant and unruly school bully.

His overbearing arrogance made many classmates flee at the mere sight of him.

Yet now, in front of Shisui, he was as docile as a little lamb.

Chizhao's lips curved into a cunning smile, her hands clasped behind her back as she slowly walked up to Xiao Tou, deliberately leaning close to him:

"What did you just call me? I don't think I heard clearly."

Facing the girl's provocation, Xiao Tou involuntarily clenched his fists, about to retort.

He looked up and saw Shisui still standing in front, maintaining his "kind" smile.

In his hand, Shisui was somehow toying with several sharp Kunai, making a series of harsh "clink clink" sounds.

A chill ran up his spine, and cold sweat dripped down.

Shisui-sensei wasn't usually like this!

A wisp of hair gently brushed past his eyes, accompanied by a faint fragrance, drawing his gaze back.

He gazed at the face so close to him, his heart involuntarily speeding up a bit.

His gaze moved from her clear eyes to the ground, and he stammered, repeating: "Chi... Chizhao...."

At this point, not only were his ears red, but his cheeks also glowed with a vivid blush.

Chizhao, having gotten her way, finally smiled contentedly.

"What's this! So you can say my name after all...."

This was the second time Uchiha Toru had seen her dazzling smile, and his heart inexplicably fluttered again.

Yes.

It was because of her words that he regained his confidence and stopped drifting aimlessly.

The name Shiratori Chizhao...

In fact, when he came to this village, he had already repeated it countless times in his mind.

Suddenly, a hand appeared before his eyes, blocking his vision like a dark cloud obscuring the sun.

The solid body pressed closely behind him made his heart involuntarily well up with a surge of panic.

A familiar voice leisurely sounded from above his head.

"OK! That's enough! The friendly greetings between the two of you end here!"

The way that kid Uchiha Toru looked at Chizhao seemed to contain a thousand threads of emotion, almost materializing and clinging to her.

Shisui's heart felt as if it were being gnawed by ten thousand ants, an unspeakable sourness and discomfort surging within him, finally becoming unbearable, which was why he stepped forward to "friendly" block his sight.

He was truly worried that his innocent and naive younger sister might one day be deceived by some ill-intentioned men.

Shisui secretly made a resolve.

Without his permission, no one was allowed to have even the slightest impure thought about her.

If they did, he would cut them down first and talk later.
