Half a year had passed, and Uchiha Mai's ability to kill and cut down weaker opponents had reached a new level.
When he fought the Hidden Cloud shinobi, it had taken four or five of them surrounding him. He had needed time to watch for an opening before suddenly striking back, and even then, killing them had taken some effort.
Now, surrounded by more than a dozen small fry, he could cut down most of them with ease.
Under accelerated time, everyone was equal. His Sharingan easily picked out an enemy's openings, and double speed let him exploit them.
If an enemy lacked combat experience, he was likely to die in an instant.
Why had Danzo beaten Uchiha Mai despite being slower? Because Danzo had far more combat experience.
Mai wasn't fast enough to overwhelm him. Even when Mai spotted an opening and attacked, Danzo could see it coming and parry, dodge, or block.
It was just like how Mai avoided a small fry's surprise attack.
The attacker needed several seconds to cross dozens of meters and strike. Mai needed only to lean aside.
Yes, Mai was faster, but he also faced more enemies. In a one-on-one fight, he was confident he could suppress a small fry even at a lower speed.
The moment Mai raised his hand, Danzo knew where the blow was going and defended as fast as he could. How was Mai supposed to beat that?
Small fry were different. Even if they reacted, they couldn't parry or block in time. At double speed, Mai's bursts of movement overwhelmed them.
Eight shinobi fell. The few remaining skidded to a halt and froze, their legs trembling and all will to fight gone.
