Chapter 92 – Yami Yami no Mi
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Shisui's hands blurred through a rapid string of hand seals. A massive surge of chakra gathered in his chest before erupting into a blazing dragon-shaped inferno that roared toward Yusuke.
"Not bad," Yusuke muttered calmly, lifting his right hand.
A dark aura crackled around his fingers—the shimmering glow of Armament Haki spreading across his arm like black steel.
With quiet confidence, he reached out and grabbed the flaming dragon's head mid-air… and crushed it with one hand.
A massive shockwave of fire exploded outward, and the resulting heatwave distorted the air around them.
"W-What?!" Shisui and Uchiha Itachi both gasped, their eyes wide in disbelief.
"Spacing out in the middle of a battle isn't a habit you want to keep," Yusuke warned flatly, suddenly appearing right beside Shisui like a phantom.
Shisui's instincts kicked in. Without hesitation, he leapt back, using the Body Flicker Technique to retreat and put distance between them.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan."
Shisui's pupils spun rapidly, activating a powerful illusion with a single glance from his Sharingan.
"Your Genjutsu is impressive—enhanced by the Sharingan, no less," Yusuke said with a slight smirk. "But against me? Completely useless."
As a wielder of Conqueror's Haki, illusions like these barely scratched the surface of his mental defenses. His willpower alone was enough to shatter lesser minds—and his Haki wasn't ordinary. Within the shinobi world, he stood at the peak—far beyond even the monstrous powers of the Yonkō from another realm.
"Body Flicker Technique."
Shisui unsheathed his blade and raised it in front of his chest. In the blink of an eye, dozens of afterimages spread out, surrounding Yusuke from every angle.
"So this is your specialty technique," Yusuke muttered, calmly observing the clones.
But…
"Found you."
Thanks to his Observation Haki, Yusuke instantly pinpointed Shisui's real body. He vanished using Soru—his signature high-speed movement technique—and reappeared beside the real Shisui, throwing a sharp punch.
Yet the strike only passed through thin air.
Shisui had already relocated, and now his clones converged in a coordinated assault.
"Interesting… This version of the Body Flicker really is unique," Yusuke thought. "As the rumors say… You truly are the Uchiha clan's number one genius."
He reached out and pinched one of the blades flying at him—but it vanished like mist.
"Incredible. You've got talent. Unless someone uses a wide-range technique, landing a hit on you is near impossible. Compared to Kakashi… your speed and movement instincts are far superior," Yusuke admitted sincerely.
"But still…" he added.
"I humbly request your guidance," Shisui replied with deep respect, sheathing his sword.
"Your flaw lies in one key area," Yusuke explained. "If you ever face someone as fast as me… or Minato-nii, then no matter how fast your movement is, it won't be enough to save you."
"You're quick, but not fast enough. Your mobility is still limited."
Shisui clenched his fists in silence. Deep down, he knew Yusuke was right. But how many people in the world could master a technique like the Flying Thunder God? And of those few… how many had Minato's genius?
"In that case," Yusuke said with a grin as he twisted his ankle, "let me show you… what real speed looks like."
"Shisui, have you ever felt a kick… moving at the speed of light?"
In that instant, Yusuke's body was wrapped in a golden glow. Before Shisui could react—or even before his Sharingan could register what was happening—he was already flying backward, smashing into the ground with earth-shattering force, carving out a deep crater.
Even Itachi, who had been watching nearby, couldn't process what had just happened.
One moment, Shisui and his clones surrounded Yusuke. The next? Gone. Everything disappeared.
"Shisui! Are you alright?!" Itachi cried out, rushing toward the crater.
"I… I'm fine, Itachi," Shisui groaned, slowly pulling himself up, coughing dust.
"Yusuke-sama… You're even stronger than the rumors say."
"No need to be so formal," Yusuke chuckled. "You've got talent. And I've got just the technique for someone like you. It'll help elevate your mobility to a whole new level. Interested?"
"Of course I am!" Shisui's eyes lit up with excitement.
"This technique is called Soru—one of six secret arts I developed myself since childhood. I call them the Six Styles of Konoha. Think of Soru as a high-speed evolution of the Body Flicker Technique."
Yusuke then began carefully explaining the principles and mechanics behind Soru to both Shisui and Itachi.
For the next few hours, he personally guided their training.
"You're picking this up faster than I expected," Yusuke praised as he watched the two youths blur across the training field. "You've got real talent."
"You're the amazing one, Yusuke-nii-san. I can't believe you invented something like this when you were just a kid," Shisui replied. The formal tone was long gone now, replaced by genuine warmth and familiarity.
"Well then… keep working hard, you two. You've got what it takes. But how far you go from here—that's up to you."
With that, Yusuke's figure shimmered and vanished.

"Shisui," Itachi said quietly after a moment of silence. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What's on your mind?"
"Who exactly is Yusuke-nii-san? Why do you respect him so much?"
Shisui looked up at the sky, then exhaled softly.
"He's the strongest shinobi in the world right now. People call him the White Shura of Konoha. There was a time… when he single-handedly confronted the entire Sunagakure army and forced them into complete surrender."
"But for reasons only he knows, he didn't involve himself in the other major battles. That's why Konoha's victory in the last war still came at such a cost."
"One man against an entire village… That's insane…" Itachi murmured, eyes gleaming in awe.
"They say… he's already being called the New God of the Shinobi World."

After that brief incident, Yusuke finally returned home.
"…System."
"Open the shop menu."
"Oh? That fruit finally showed up? About damn time!" Yusuke laughed out loud—but then immediately frowned.
"You gotta be kidding me, System. Why the hell is the Yami Yami no Mi four times more expensive than the Ope Ope no Mi?!"
[Explanation: That fruit is exceptionally special, Host. It is the true conqueror among all other Devil Fruits.]
"So… if I ran into Blackbeard right now, could he neutralize my powers?"
[Impossible. First, your powers granted by the system are significantly more powerful than typical Devil Fruits. Second, even if he had the Yami Yami no Mi, it wouldn't be able to override all your abilities simultaneously.]
"Good. That's all I needed to hear."
"…Still. I can't afford it yet."
"The Yami Yami no Mi is a key part of my long-term plan. I need to start collecting more points… and fast."

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the village…
"Report, Clan Head!"
"What is it?" asked Uchiha Fugaku, head of the Uchiha clan.
"The person in question… He made contact with Shisui and Itachi."
"You mean him?" Fugaku's tone grew sharp. "Tell me everything."
The shinobi quickly explained what he had witnessed.
"Haha… Hahaha! Wonderful!" Fugaku burst into laughter.
"Sir?" Uchiha Jin blinked in confusion. "Why are you so pleased?"
"Because," Fugaku said with satisfaction, "the fact that he's willing to guide Shisui and Itachi means two things: One, he acknowledges their potential. And two… he's placing hope in them."
"Then… could he possibly become our ally in the future?"
"Exactly. Despite being close to the Fourth Hokage, he's never truly belonged to the Hokage faction. In fact… from his behavior, I'd say he doesn't like Konoha's inner circle at all."
"And Minato doesn't hold any grudges against our clan."
"Understood, Clan Head."
"Good. Summon Shisui and Itachi. I'd like to speak with them."
"Yes, sir! Right away!"
