In the clearing, Shisui and Obito stood side by side, facing fifteen Uchiha ninjas led by Uchiha Seisei.
Naturally, there were more than fifteen opponents of Shisui, but Uchiha Seisei valued his reputation too much to gather every discontented Uchiha ninja for a group beating.
Of course, to prevent any accidents, even though Uchiha Seisei didn't bring everyone, the fourteen Uchiha ninjas he selected were all Uchiha elites.
Including himself, among these fifteen Uchiha, there were eight Jonin, and the remaining seven were veteran Chunin with rich experience, forming a rather strong team.
Uchiha Seisei did not believe that this lineup couldn't handle Shisui.
"Shisui, you'll have to treat me to breakfast tomorrow." Despite the disadvantage in numbers, Obito was utterly unbothered.
After all, the opponents were just a bunch of ninjas without any notable titles.
"I'll cover your breakfast for the next year." Shisui offered super generously.
If he could smoothly begin the Police Squad reform, he would willingly treat Obito for ten years, not just one.
"Feel underestimated. Even if it's a genius, facing so many of us doesn't guarantee getting away well." A Uchiha Jonin was irked by Obito's nonchalant demeanor.
Even within the Uchiha Clan, Jonin were rare. Although he wasn't a genius, he had been praised all his life.
He didn't think he could defeat Shisui or Obito himself, but now it was fifteen against two.
"Don't underestimate them, everyone, go all out." Uchiha Seisei reminded.
He didn't think Obito and Shisui could defeat eight Jonin, but a mishap would be very embarrassing, so it was essential to exert full effort for insurance.
"Let the battle begin!" Uchiha Yashiro, acting as referee, announced when both sides were ready.
Standing nearby, Uchiha Fugaku also focused his attention on the battle about to unfold.
He understood Shisui well; without the certainty of victory, Shisui wouldn't have voluntarily initiated a challenge.
Thus, Uchiha Fugaku was quite curious about Shisui's capabilities, seeing such confidence despite the number of Uchiha ninjas he faced.
"Summoning Technique!"
Obito and Shisui simultaneously used summoning techniques to summon Charizard and Zoroark.
Both beasts were quite sizable now, which was why they hadn't been brought to the clan assembly.
"So these are the enemies to deal with." Zoroark scanned the fifteen Uchiha ninjas standing opposite.
It lived with Shisui, was aware of Shisui's overall plan, and had long been prepared for battle.
Charizard, in the name of battle, made no mischief with Obito, flapping its wings quickly to fly into the sky.
"Contracted with impressive summoning beasts, huh?" Uchiha Fugaku mused upon witnessing.
A powerful summoning beast meant a lot to a ninja, but a good summoning beast was hard to come by.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Uchiha Seisei rapidly formed hand seals and expelled a massive fireball.
Not only Uchiha Seisei, but several other Uchiha also used Great Fireball Jutsu, while the ninjas who didn't use ninjutsu blocked locations with ninja tools.
In an instant, multiple large fireballs and dense ninja tools engulfed Shisui, Obito, and Zoroark.
Since Charizard flew into the sky immediately, it wasn't targeted for attack.
Hitting those flying in the sky was far harder than those walking on the ground. Even without discussing tactics, the Uchiha ninjas instinctively planned to resolve Obito and the others first.
Shisui concentrated his Chakra while signaling Zoroark.
Reading each other's intentions, Zoroark immediately unleashed Chakra and used Genjutsu.
Massive flames continually poured from Zoroark's mouth, swiftly forming a ferocious sea of fire, seemingly ready to devour all incoming attacks.
"What kind of summoning beast is this, capable of unleashing such powerful Fire Release?!" Uchiha Seisei's pupils narrowed, staring unbelievingly at Zoroark.
Uchiha Seisei finally understood why Shisui was confident enough to join Obito in defeating so many Uchiha ninjas—it turned out he had contracted an unusually powerful summoning beast.
"No, with such a powerful summoning beast, can he afford the Chakra it demands?" Uchiha Seisei wondered inwardly.
The Chakra consumed by the Summoning Technique wasn't a fixed value. The stronger the summoned beast, the more Chakra it required.
But regardless of Uchiha Seisei's suspicions, reality was unfolding before them, leaving him no time for further thought.
The observing Uchiha ninjas were quite shocked, instinctively retreating a distance.
Then, something even more astonishing occurred: similar-type ninjutsu should mutually negate, yet the several giant fire dragons formed by the sea of fire disregarded this rule, passing through the Great Fireballs and heading directly toward Uchiha Seisei and the others.
"What kind of Fire Release is this?" Uchiha Seisei frowned, finding his decades of ninja experience insufficient.
Though he didn't understand, as he watched the advancing giant fire dragons, Uchiha Seisei burst out Chakra and used Instant Body Jutsu to evade.
No matter the technique, if it doesn't hit, it's futile.
All the Uchiha ninjas were scrambling to evade Zoroark's "Fire Release."
With no interference, Shisui and Obito easily dodged the massive incoming attacks.
Bang bang!!
With mastery of Instant Body Jutsu, Shisui rapidly closed in on two Uchiha Chunin, delivering a punch each, sending them flying.
Currently, Mokgetsu's protégés, apart from Yamato, who hasn't been taught for long, were superior in Taijutsu compared to normal peers.
