After Shisui recovered from his injuries, since Obito and the others had already returned to Konoha, Mokgetsu arranged for Shisui to join a new team.
Shisui had no objections to this, as his current strength indeed was not enough to walk alone on the battlefield.
"You must be Uchiha Shisui, who is joining our team. I'm Takagi Shinji, the captain of this squad, at the Special Jonin ninja level, primarily specializing in Fire Release," Takagi Shinji introduced himself proactively upon seeing Shisui arrive.
Even though Shisui was only temporarily joining, a self-introduction was an essential step.
This was not for ceremonial purposes, but so that they could have a basic understanding of each other, making it easier to fight on the battlefield.
Even if they couldn't cooperate perfectly, they should at least not negatively impact each other.
Upon hearing the name Uchiha Shisui, Takagi Shinji's disciples curiously looked towards Shisui, as this name had been echoing in their ears recently.
The Konoha ninja in the rear had already heard about the achievements of Kakashi and the others, and naturally, Takagi Shinji's disciples, who were at the skirmish battlefront, knew even better.
The Konoha ninja on the entire battlefield knew of Mokgetsu's power and Kakashi and his comrades' genius.
"So small, really only eight years old? How could one train to have the strength to face the Seven-Swords Ninja at eight?"
"Could it be that the Seven-Swords Ninja aren't as strong as the legends say? This Uchiha Shisui doesn't look all that tough either."
Takagi Shinji's disciples couldn't help but murmur internally when they saw Shisui.
Because Shisui didn't seem to have anything particularly special about him, he gave the impression of being quite a quiet child.
"I am Uchiha Shisui, at the Chunin ninja level, specializing in Fire Release and Genjutsu." After Takagi Shinji finished his self-introduction, Shisui immediately introduced himself, briefly revealing the ninjutsu he specialized in.
Takagi Shinji nodded, then looked at his three disciples.
"I'm Kobayashi Kenji, at the Chunin ninja level, able to use Wind Release ninjutsu."
"My name is Kamiizumi Tetsuya, at the Chunin ninja level, specializing in Fire Release ninjutsu."
"I'm Miyashita Ayuki, at the Chunin ninja level, able to use some basic Medical Ninjutsu."
Takagi Shinji's disciples responded one after another.
"In order to better arrange tactics during missions, I need to use a practice fight to understand your abilities. However, since we still have a mission to execute shortly, we'll stop at a point." Takagi Shinji thought for a moment and said.
Under normal circumstances, Takagi Shinji would definitely let his disciples test him, but given the recent fame of the Uchiha genius, Takagi Shinji chose to personally respect him by taking the field himself.
Truth be told, Takagi Shinji wasn't confident in defeating Shisui. After all, even if there were eight of him, he could only run when encountering the Seven-Swords Ninja, while Shisui and his team had won.
"Please guide me." Shisui nodded and agreed, which was also his thought.
"Teacher Shinji, let me do it. If you're observing from the side, you can watch more closely." Kamiizumi Tetsuya volunteered to stand out.
Usually, he was the best in the team and wanted to fight Shisui to see the gap between himself and a true genius.
"Even if he started training at three, that would still be no more than five years of training till now. I've been a ninja for more than five years, I shouldn't lose too badly, right?" Kamiizumi Tetsuya thought to himself.
Kamiizumi Tetsuya wasn't confident in winning, but he believed he could hold his own for a moment or two.
"Are you sure?" Takagi Shinji didn't agree immediately.
Takagi Shinji was well aware of Kamiizumi Tetsuya's level. Among Chunin, he was considered outstanding, but only to that extent, not in the same league as a super genius like Shisui.
"Yes, it's rare to encounter a genius like Shisui, and I want to test my skills." Kamiizumi Tetsuya explained.
"Alright, you go then." After thinking it over, Takagi Shinji agreed to Kamiizumi Tetsuya's request.
He wanted to use Shisui's hand to knock some sense into his somewhat arrogant disciple.
If he still had this mindset during a mission, he could easily die during it.
"Battle start!"
With Takagi Shinji's command, Shisui and Kamiizumi Tetsuya both moved into action.
Whoosh whoosh!!
As Kamiizumi Tetsuya ran, he pulled shuriken from his ninja pouch and shot them at Shisui.
Shisui's expression didn't change at all, and he also threw out shuriken.
Clang clang!
Their shuriken collided in the air and fell to the ground together.
"His fundamentals far exceed those of ordinary people." Watching from the side, Takagi Shinji nodded internally.
On the surface, it seemed that the shuriken exchange ended in a draw, but Shisui had waited until Kamiizumi Tetsuya made his move before throwing his own shuriken. Even in this scenario, Shisui still perfectly intercepted all of Kamiizumi Tetsuya's shuriken, showing his level of shuriken throwing skills.
Swoosh!
When only five meters away from Shisui, Kamiizumi Tetsuya suddenly exploded with Chakra and used Instant Body Jutsu to appear at Shisui's side, swinging his fist.
It was as if Shisui had anticipated this long in advance, and with a slight twist of his body, he dodged the incoming punch.
After his attack missed, Kamiizumi Tetsuya immediately stepped back and kicked towards Shisui, but Shisui conveniently stepped back as well, causing Kamiizumi Tetsuya's attack to miss again.
Even as Kamiizumi Tetsuya pushed his body to its limits, attacking fiercely, he couldn't even touch the hem of Shisui's clothes.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Seeing that Taijutsu was futile, Kamiizumi Tetsuya pulled back to a distance to form seals and use Fire Release.
"Teacher Mokgetsu's ninjutsu." Shisui was slightly surprised.
Previously, when teaching nature transformation, Teacher Mokgetsu had developed five D-rank ninjutsu, and later created upgraded C-rank versions. The Great Fireball Jutsu was one of them.
