"Gekko Hayate, you're asking for it!!"
Shennong watched his prize slip away and flew into a rage, his face twisting as he unleashed a flurry of Bone Shattering Fist strikes.
His blows formed visible rings in the air, and the tremendous impact tore through everything around him like bullets fired from a gun.
Hayate dodged left and right, occasionally shifting his blade to fend off the invisible shock waves. For a time, Shennong kept him from getting close!
But Hayate wasn't worried at all!
Three minutes left.
Hayate had just sent up a signal. Any Anbu or members of the Konoha Military Police Force who saw it were bound to arrive within five minutes!
And one minute had already passed.
I've got four minutes left. I might as well have some fun with you.
"Konoha Style: Wind Slash!"
A torrent of Wind Style Chakra surged into his blade. In the next instant, Hayate swung, and a razor-sharp Blue Sword Light shot from the blade, streaking toward Shennong like a rainbow piercing the sun.
Shennong didn't dodge. He answered with another Bone Shattering Fist strike.
His fist, as big as a cooking pot, was enveloped in dense green Chakra. With a thunderous boom, it blasted through the air and collided brutally with the Blue Sword Light.
Boom!
The shock waves rolled outward. Shennong smashed the Blue Sword Light with a single punch, stamped his foot hard, and shot toward Hayate as a blur.
"Konoha Style: Moon Shadow!"
Hayate unleashed another secret sword technique, turning into a blur as he darted toward Shennong, who was charging straight at him like a phantom.
Shennong swung at Hayate, but his fist passed straight through him and the several afterimages trailing behind him, then slammed into a nearby wall.
Bang!!
The wall, over two meters
