In this plain little tree forest.
A huge gear appeared in front of Dan. It was simple and heavy, as if it had experienced countless vicissitudes of life in the world. It moved slowly.
It never stopped.
Fwoosh!
With a thought, the power of Stand turned into a stream of light and shot out, like a thin needle, stuck into one of the teeth grooves of the gear.
The gears of time stopped just like that.
The whole world also became dark, and everything in the world lost its original color.
One second, two seconds.
Three seconds, four seconds.
After a full five seconds, with a crack, the Time Gear resumed operation after the thin needle broke.
Finally.
Dan could stop time for five seconds.
Compared to the previous two seconds, although it only increase by three seconds, there were too many things that could be done in these three seconds.
One had to know.
In a ninja battle, even if it was 0.1 seconds, it was enough to decide life and death.
Now Dan, when facing Obito or Danzo and his ilk, even if the opponent has mastered Izanagi, he can still try to detain the opponent’s Sharingan within the time limit, and then punch him to death.
Just think about it.
5 seconds of Time Freeze, coupled with the full power output of Dan Body Technique and Stand The World, how many people in the ninja world could block it?
Tick, tick.
Something fell on the broken bamboo hat.
He looked up and saw that the sky was dark, and countless raindrops fell.
It was time to go home.
He walked into the woods and strolled along the path into the rain, heading to Konoha.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, causing the leaves to rustle.
The rain that fell from the sky connected into a line, and countless lines formed a net. In the end, it was like a waterfall that poured down from the sky.
In the primitive forest of the Fire Nation.
A woman wearing a dark green trench coat and black high heels was running in the rain.
Pa!
She stepped into the water pit on the ground. The mud splashed on her white feet and stained her toes with red nail polish.
But Tsunade could not care about this now.
After she was strangled, she recuperated for two days and the first thing she did was to track down the other party.
Previously.
When Tsunade and Dan were fighting each other, she sprinkled a colorless and invisible powder prepared by herself on the latter, and no one except her could notice the difference.
She tracked the other person to find out the real identity of this person.
But now it was raining. Once the faint smell of the powder was washed away by the rain, Tsunade would lose the other person.
So she had to be faster.
All of a sudden.
Tsunade stopped in her tracks.
She saw a person standing in the rain with his back facing her.
That person was nearly two meters tall, wearing a bamboo hat and a cloak. Just by standing there, he gave off a heavy pressure like a mountain.
That’s right, it was that guy.
At this time, the heavy rain poured down, and Tsunade’s golden hair and clothes were soaked, sticking to her body, making her look like a drowned rat.
But that person was clearly also in the rain, but not a drop of water came out.
Tsunade’s eyes focused and looked carefully.
On the surface of the opponent’s body, Chakra formed a layer of air shield, and the countless raindrops that fell on his body bounced off.
The person’s whole body, whether it was his hair or skin, or even his bamboo hat and cloak, had turned into a lotus leaf.
As soon as the raindrops fell, they would slip away and roll away, taking away the dust on his clothes.
His body was like a lotus leaf, clean and flawless.
This scene made Tsunade feel deeply shocked and ashamed of her inferiority.
This person’s use of chakra was already at the peak of perfection.
Or, it could be said that the other party had integrated the cultivation of ninja into his daily life, and even the rain could be used to practice chakra skills, not relaxing at all.
This kind of person was too terrifying. No wonder he could produce such terrifying muscles.
This person was naturally Uchiha Dan.
In the rain.
“As expected of Tsunade, one of the Sannin. She actually left a tracking mark on my body without me noticing.”
Dan opened his mouth, but he did not look back.
“It’s just a small trick, not worth mentioning.”
Tsunade shook her head, her eyes serious, and directly asked the question in her heart, “Are you a ninja of Konoha?”
“No.”
He was indeed from Konoha, but he was not a ninja, because he had not even graduated from the 1st grade.
Tsunade frowned and fell into deep thought.
She thought about it and asked: “Then who are you? Why do you have the Sharingan of an Uchiha and know the multiplication of the Akimichi Clan?”
“I am Araki, a bounty hunter.” Dan replied.
Araki?
As soon as Tsunade heard this name, she knew that it was probably a code name, not the real name of the other party, but she didn’t care.
Since she couldn’t get any answers, she might as well make a move.
She stepped on the water on the ground and walked towards Dan step by step, vowing to use the next battle to wash away her shame.
Feeling the undisguised fighting spirit of Tsunade.
“I’m not interested in fighting with you right now. Don’t come any closer.” Dan advised her.
When Tsunade heard this, she raised her fist and said with a burning gaze,
“What if I have to fight you?”
As she spoke, she had already walked to a place five meters away from Dan and entered the best attack distance.
Tsunade was a woman with a strong desire to win, especially when she fought with her fists. She had lived for decades and had never been afraid of anyone or lost.
But two days ago, she was defeated by a naked-choke, and she lost very thoroughly.
The more Tsunade thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that she had not played well last time. If she could not fight with Dan and regain her face, she would feel uncomfortable.
Facing the stubborn Tsunade.
Dan silently sighed and decided to give her a warning, so he silently recited those four words in his heart.
The World!
In an instant.
Everything in the world turned gray. Countless raindrops solidified in the air like transparent bead curtains, forming a strange scene that no one had ever seen.
Dan turned around.
Tsunade, who was five meters away, was raising her fist with a face full of fighting spirit. Even the heavy rain could not extinguish the flames in her eyes.
Swoosh.
Dan lowered his center of gravity and rushed out with an arrow step.
After smashing many raindrops, he stretched out his right hand, grabbed Tsunade by the waist, and carried her on his shoulder.
He sprinted all the way to twenty meters away.
Then.
He put Tsunade on the ground like a statue, turned around quickly, and returned to his original position at the speed of sprinting.
This series of actions was completed within five seconds.
Next.
Time resumed flow.
“Take this!”
Tsunade shouted and was about to throw a punch, but she suddenly froze in place.
She found that her opponent, who was originally close to her, was now 20 meters away from her in the blink of an eye.
No.
The opponent did not move at all. It was her… retreating.
Tsunade was shocked.
This was… what was going on?
Was she under the illusion again?
Tsunade didn’t believe it.
She shook her head hard to keep herself awake. Then, she took another step and carefully walked toward Dan.
This time, she was completely focused and nervous. She was always on guard against the opponent’s illusion attack.
Ten meters, eight meters, five meters.
Tsunade came to this distance for the second time.
Then, the strange scene from before repeated itself –
Tsunade inexplicably retreated back 20 meters away.
The back of the man was like an end that could never be reached, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not get close…
