Swiftness Proliferation Potion Despair Four Laws

Minato, Hyakusho, and Nawaki looked forward as instructed by Zhou Duan. What greeted their eyes was a Chunin wearing the standard ninja combat uniform of the Land of Wind's Sunagakure. Compared to Zhou Duan, who was covered in wounds, this Chunin was completely unharmed. On the contrary, apart from his combat uniform being slightly disheveled from travel and battle, the Chunin's breathing wasn't even ragged!

A scythe was held horizontally in front of him, making tiny horizontal movements in rhythm with his breathing. He wasn't heavily built, but the tight-fitting clothes revealed solid muscles that gave him an aura of strength;

Faint scars remained on his exposed skin, remnants of battles fought and near-death experiences, adding a ferocious look to him. His face, though clearly enduring great pain, remained resolute, embodying the handsomeness and grace of this intermediate Sand Ninja from the Land of Wind!

This was a ninja who, deep in enemy territory, showed no fear; in a perilous situation, he still fought bravely, possessing an indomitable spirit, the kind of warrior who charged forward with no thought of survival!

However, Namikaze Minato, Hyuga Hyakusho, and Senju Nawaki looked at this Chunin with eyes that held not a trace of envy or admiration. Instead, their gazes were filled with immense sympathy and pity!

For no other reason than that the Chunin's legs had swollen to the diameter of pillars, a meter thick. Forget moving, the fact that he could even stand was a testament to his incredible willpower!

"Zhou Duan, are you a devil?!"

Seeing the miserable state of the Chunin opposite them, Hyakusho stiffly turned his neck to look at Zhou Duan:

"Zhou Duan, what kind of potion did you use? I thought the Genin I faced was pathetic enough, but I didn't expect this one to be even worse. This effect is simply terrifying!"

"Zhou Duan!"

Minato twirled the kunai in his hand, suddenly feeling that attacking an immobile target was a rather enjoyable experience. Minato gave Zhou Duan a somewhat sheepish smile:

"Do you still have this potion?"

"Hey, are you three so inhuman?"

Before Zhou Duan could respond to Hyakusho and Minato, Nawaki directly interrupted them. He looked at Zhou Duan with a heartbroken expression:

"Zhou Duan, you actually developed such a despicable potion. I am ashamed to be associated with you!

Although we ninjas will use any means to achieve our goals, we still have our bottom line. Doing this, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"This... Nawaki..."

It was rare for Nawaki to be so serious. Hyakusho was momentarily stunned by his aura and began to explain for Zhou Duan:

"Zhou Duan did this to end the battle quickly and conserve our strength. Don't be too harsh!"

"No, Hyakusho, don't rush..."

Zhou Duan interrupted Hyakusho, a cold smile on his face as he spoke:

"I want to hear what Nawaki has to say next..."

"Hmph, what do I have to say? Of course, it's for you to immediately give this Chunin an antidote!"

Nawaki waved his hand grandly, speaking with utmost confidence:

"With a wave of my hand just now, I took down a Genin. Although I listened to your insignificant suggestion, there's no denying that I've fully unleashed my body's potential. I am confident enough to face this Chunin head-on without relying on your despicable methods, Zhou Duan. Just prepare to resign as captain and cheer me on from behind!"

"I was truly an idiot to be swayed by your momentum just now!"

Hyakusho despairingly covered his face:

"Seriously, why did I even bother with this idiot!"

Looking at Nawaki's imposing demeanor, Zhou Duan felt that even with all his wounds, the pain was far less than the headache he got from seeing Nawaki!

Suppressing the pain in his arm, he punched the showboating Nawaki down. Zhou Duan then began to apply medicine with Minato's help, while also glancing at the system and explaining the potion's effects to Hyakusho:

"Minato, Hyakusho, this is a special mutation I created by adding Muscle Growth Vine to the Swiftness Potion. Muscle Growth Vine already has the effect of repairing muscle damage and aphrodisiac properties. When added to my potion, it causes the muscle tissue in the enemy's body to proliferate rapidly!

Minato, I still have this potion, but it's very troublesome to make, and my stock is low. It also has other uses. I'll give you a few bottles when I have more raw materials in the future.

As for this new potion, I've named it the Swiftness Proliferation Potion. Its effects, I call the Swiftness Proliferation Potion Despair Four Laws!"

Saying this, Zhou Duan's lips curved into an excited smile once more:

"The First Law of the Swiftness Proliferation Potion Despair Four Laws: Although the potion itself is a 20% to 40% speed enhancement for the user, due to its unique side effect, it will cause normal body parts to rapidly enlarge tenfold within five seconds, and then spread to other parts of the body at a rate of two minutes per part. The order is legs first, then arms, and then... the crotch!"

"Hiss!!!"

Upon hearing Zhou Duan's words, Minato, Hyakusho, and Nawaki all gasped. However, Zhou Duan's explanation was not yet finished!

"The Second Law of the Swiftness Proliferation Potion Despair Four Laws: The excessively rapid increase in size does not affect the body's sensitivity. On the contrary, the pain in the swollen areas will double, and as they continue to enlarge, the pain experienced will also increase.

The Third Law of the Swiftness Proliferation Potion Despair Four Laws: Because its raw materials are scarce, difficult to produce, and the formula is different from the conventional formula for increasing swiftness, it leads to the result that an enemy least wants to see...

Zhou Duan looked excitedly at the intermediate Sand Ninja from the Land of Wind opposite him:

"Based on my experience as a Medical Ninja, this potion currently has no antidote, nor will its effects disappear over time. At the very least, for someone like you who isn't even a Medical Ninja, wasting time trying to resolve this with a few bottles of antidote you carry is a pipe dream!"

"So that's how it is? I was wondering why this guy wasn't panicking and was still calmly on guard even though we came to help you. So he had this plan!"

Nawaki, whose nerves had already been tempered by Zhou Duan's potion, quickly recovered from the shock of the drug:

"The enemy has so many tricks!"

"Now is not the time to be thinking about that!"

Hyakusho interrupted Nawaki. Although the Sand Ninja opposite them was in a miserable state, he was still a Chunin, and Hyakusho's vigilance had not diminished:

"When do we make our move? Should we wait a bit longer?"

"What a vicious and troublesome brat. I, Suishi Yujin, remember you!"

Although he had already learned the terrifying nature of the Swiftness Proliferation Potion from Zhou Duan, this ninja named Suishi Yujin did not easily believe Zhou Duan's words. It wasn't until he had used up all the antidotes he had on hand with no effect that Suishi Yujin finally gave up his last shred of hope.

However, as a ninja, especially a Chunin honed by countless battles and scars, his spirit was already harder than solid rock:

"A ninja endures what ordinary people cannot. Today, I will show you the true spirit of a ninja!"

With that, Kyuukawa Takuya took out a kunai, bit down on it, and with a flick of his right hand, aimed his scythe at his own legs. In the terrified yet admiring eyes of Zhou Duan, Nawaki, Hundred Palms, and Water Gate, he aimed the scythe at his own legs and slashed down fiercely. Instantly, amidst a rain of blood, a suppressed groan and the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground were heard simultaneously!

"Truly a ninja who has carried the spirit of a ninja to the very end!"

Zhou Duan looked at Kyuukawa Takuya, who was quickly using steel wire to stop the bleeding from his severed legs, and let out a heartfelt sigh. At the same time, he said with pity:

"But don't forget, my potion still has a fourth side effect!"
