"Is it an illusion?"
No, there's no chakra fluctuation... Shisui stared blankly at the fading world before him, the three blood-red tomoe in his eyes slowly rotating, unable to detect any aura of "illusion."
But if it's not an "illusion," how did Nissan achieve this?
Both Shisui and Itachi were watching, the [Transparent Domain] turned into a delicate gray, instantly enveloping the two little figures… In just a moment, their flesh, bones, movements, and breathing were captured entirely, as if observing… invisible people, and of course, including the one next to them...
Sakumo Hatake!
The man focused his gaze on the two slowly rotating great suns in Roy's eyes, feeling an unusual sense of restraint.
This feeling was something he hadn't experienced for a long time; he couldn't remember when it started. But Sakumo Hatake knew, given his current reputation and strength, there are few who can bring him such a feeling.
The leaders of various ninja villages count as one… Tailed Beast Jinchuriki count as one… Others like Minato Namikaze, such genius ninja upstarts count as half… and then there's this under-six-year-old kid in front of him!
Six years old… He's two years younger than Kakashi!
Sakumo's eyes sparkled with a glimmer, stepping on the intricate gray, feeling every move, being stripped and analyzed into "weakness lines" connecting to Roy.
He incredulously said, "Just days ago I was discussing with your father about taking you as my disciple, but now… seems I've underestimated you."
"I didn't expect you have already found a swordsmanship unique to you!"
"Swordsmanship..." Shisui sat beside, lost in thought.
Itachi, younger still, was awed but caught a word from Sakumo and his brother's conversation—the term "Sword Eye!"
Sword Eye...
As the name implies, is it… the eye of the sword?
Meaning… "From now on, whether it's with a sword or shuriken… they can't escape Nissan's Sword Eye detection?"
The young boy's imagination ran wild, unconsciously gripping the sword in his hand.
"Uncle White Fang, you're too kind," Roy, indifferent, held the sword horizontally, gently brushing the solar flame emitting from the Eclipse, calmly said, "These are nothing more than minor techniques, still far from 'swordsmanship.'
Minor techniques? Sakumo's mouth twitched slightly, chuckled with squinting eyes: "My whole body, every move is already seen through by you, and is this just minor techniques?"
The unknown is the most terrifying, conversely… "the known" is far less frightening; just find a counter method, and it can be easily solved.
Yet, Konoha's White Fang nearly never needed a second strike to kill,
The first strike from "the unknown" effortlessly took the opponent's life.
Now... Sakumo looked at his hands, feet, joints, all tethered by "weakness lines," any slight move would be sensed by Roy, anticipated, counterattacked....
His face turned solemn, with a "boom~", unleashed an unprecedented aura!
Injecting all his chakra into the White Fang, in an instant... blinding electric light flashed, forcing Shisui and Itachi to cover their eyes with small hands… The two kids felt as if being grabbed by a large hand and thrown entirely into a sea of thunder, numb and senseless, struggling to peek through their fingers....
Only with difficulty could they see, their Uncle White Fang seemed to have raised the sword!
"Sizzle~" The electric arc exploded into a sphere!
Sakumo Hatake holding White Fang, as if grasping thunder, for a moment… giving Roy the illusion reminiscent of Kakashi's hand-churning Chidori!
But one is "ninjutsu", the other purely "lightning enhancement"... not comparable!
"Roy, you're right, swordsmanship is distant and elusive...." The man's white hair stood upright, his wrist slowly flipped, leveling White Fang, the blade tip spewing lightning, straight at Roy's heart, feet staggered in a bow step, then a step... rushing past like a bolt.....
The sword reached Roy, his incomplete last words only faintly heard!
He said: "I actually don't understand, but I just need to know one thing, as long as..."
"I'm fast enough!"
"That's enough!"
Indeed!
Fast enough!
Lightning enhancement, body turned film.....
This strike from Sakumo, early in his movement, was already captured and imprinted in Roy's mind, but... his instinctive reaction was slightly slower, his chest felt a chill, slashing through a piece of clothing.
"Sizzle~" Electric light flashed, reappearing Sakumo's figure,
The man holding White Fang, flicking the piece of cloth, turned to look: "You dodged quickly."
It's fast... relying on the [Eye of Truth]'s 0.1 premonition... yet,
"I still didn't quite dodge..."
The earlier attempt ended in vain, Roy shook the Eclipse gently, shattering the invading tiny electric arcs into his body, then looked at Sakumo, frowning deep in thought.
[Hint: "Swordsmanship" +10… initial encounter with [Lightning enhancement]… "Nenryoku nature" [Lightning] activated.....]
Lightning... "Lightning Breathing"... "Sea of Cognition" surged with huge waves, washing over "Demon Slayer Gate,"
The gate decorated with "Evil Ghost" ornaments shivered open slightly, revealing an old face with white hair and beard.
Roy carefully felt Sakumo's thunder-infused strike, his consciousness immersing, listening to the panel's voice, lost for a moment, entered Demon Slayer Gate just like learning "Water Breathing" under Urokodaki Sakonji years ago, now.....
His consciousness, ephemeral, turned into an outsider, silently watching the old man named "Jigoro Kuwajima", holding a stick, tirelessly teaching his two disciples, eyes filled with "speed" and "lightning"!
