"Isn't this person an Uchiha? How can he also use the Akimichi Clan's Expansion Jutsu?
Tsunade's shock grew, but she didn't have time to think. Dan's large hands were tightening their grip, contorting her voluptuous body and causing the veins on her chest to bulge.
If this continues, she'll be crushed to death.
"Hah!"
Tsunade roared, and a powerful surge of Chakra erupted within her, instantly breaking free from the giant hands' grasp.
Dan was forced back several steps by the shock.
Boom!
Tsunade pressed her advantage, throwing a punch at Dan's chest. A powerful gust of wind erupted around her, blowing her golden hair and making her trench coat flap.
Her aura was astonishing.
Here it comes.
Facing Tsunade's killing blow, Dan wasn't afraid; he was delighted.
In his Sharingan's vision, he could see a massive amount of Chakra flowing from Tsunade's body like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, rapidly heading towards her fist and concentrating at a single point.
This is the Senju Clan's Monster Strength.
As Dan saw it clearly, Tsunade's fist arrived before him.
This guy isn't even dodging? Does he think he's so strong and tall that he can arrogantly take my Monster Strength head-on with his body?
A thought flashed through Tsunade's mind. Her gaze sharpened, and she delivered a merciless punch to Dan's chest.
Bang!
With the explosion of Monster Strength.
This punch directly caved in Dan's entire chest, looking terrifying.
Injured to this extent, even if he miraculously survived, he would be paralyzed for life.
Back then.
Jiraiya had his ribs broken six times, his arms fractured, and several internal organs ruptured by Tsunade's Monster Strength for peeking at her bathing, nearly dying.
In Tsunade's opinion, this Uchiha's life was definitely not as tough as Jiraiya's.
But, is that really the case?
"Hmm?"
Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted, sensing something was wrong.
Dan's chest... wasn't caved in by her attack, but he had used some unknown method to deliberately soften his body.
At this moment.
Dan's Steel Muscles and Bones Body had turned into a piece of clay, his bones becoming as soft as noodles, displaying his terrifying control over his own muscles.
Tsunade's Monster Strength concentrated all her power into one point for an explosive burst, capable of destroying any defense, no matter how strong.
Dan's method of countering was to use the caving in of his chest to avoid the point of strongest attack, thereby neutralizing most of Tsunade's power.
Whoosh.
He used the force of Tsunade's punch to lift off the ground and float backward, finally landing like a leaf.
Dan's chest returned to its original state, completely unharmed.
This was called "skillful and bold."
Besides Dan, no one else would dare to receive Tsunade's Monster Strength like this.
He stood there, not retaliating, as if waiting for Tsunade to attack him again.
Tsunade felt severely provoked.
Boom.
She punched a nearby wall in anger, the wall immediately shattering before collapsing with a roar, turning into countless fragments of stone.
Then, she stomped hard on the ground, leaping into the air and raising one leg high above her head.
She brought it down heavily.
Painful Sky Leg!
Compared to punching, Painful Sky Leg was even more powerful, concentrating Chakra at the sole of the foot and using the body's full weight to stomp on the enemy.
One stomp was enough to cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.
Dan still didn't dodge.
This time, his Sharingan saw even more clearly, thoroughly understanding the Chakra flow of Monster Strength.
Furthermore.
Facing Tsunade's kick, he no longer used body softening to neutralize it. Instead, his gaze sharpened, intending to take the hit head-on.
Only by using his own body to personally feel Tsunade's exertion of power could he help himself grasp the principles of Monster Strength faster.
The next second.
Dan tensed all the muscles in his body, activating his Golden Bell Shield Body, and the whole person was like a large bell covering the ground.
And Tsunade's Painful Sky Leg, like a bell clapper, fiercely slammed down.
Once again landing on Dan's chest.
Clang~
A resonant bell sound.
"What?!"
Tsunade kicked Dan in the chest, only to feel a recoil force transmit, making one of her legs go numb, and she herself fell backward onto the ground.
However, Dan wasn't feeling too great either.
Tsunade's kick was too powerful, even he couldn't withstand it. The opponent's strength surged like a tsunami, crashing wildly within his body.
Even so.
Dan's feet remained completely still, as if they were tree roots plunged into the ground, not retreating a single step.
But, his upper body suddenly began to sway, the amplitude growing larger and larger.
As Dan swayed, he actually brought the ground of the entire street to sway with him, just like an earthquake, with countless spiderweb-like cracks appearing.
In this instant, Dan seemed to merge with the earth beneath his feet.
Rumble.
He transferred the power of Tsunade's Painful Sky Leg, along his entire body, to the ground, and finally released it.
During this process.
The hundreds of onlookers on the street were all thrown into panic, stumbling and falling everywhere.
After the "earthquake" ended, a glance around revealed that on the entire street, apart from Dan and Tsunade, there was no third person standing.
Everyone had fallen to the ground.
Is this the combat power of the Sannin level?
People cautiously lay on the ground, raising their heads to look at the two, like mortals looking up at gods, their faces filled with awe and shock.
Alright, that's about it.
Dan believed he had taken Tsunade's Monster Strength twice, seen enough, and felt enough.
He already had a grasp on the ability to copy.
Therefore, there was no need to continue fighting.
So, he turned and left.
What did that mean?
Seeing Dan leave, Tsunade felt greatly insulted.
This was because the other party wasn't fleeing because he couldn't beat her, but rather stood his ground, took two of her punches, and then just walked away without retaliating at all.
Was there any more humiliating way to do this?
Thinking this.
"Stop!"
She shouted and chased after him, throwing a punch at Dan's back.
Dan shook his head.
Sensing the powerful Fist Wind coming from behind him, he raised his right arm and flicked it backward. His arm vibrated minutely at a high frequency, causing the air to crackle.
Bang!
Their forearms collided fiercely once more.
In an instant, centered on the two fighting, a sonic boom erupted, shattering the glass of all the surrounding shops.
Suddenly.
Tsunade's vision blurred, as if she had presbyopia, unable to see Dan clearly.
Not good.
She immediately realized she had fallen victim to Genjutsu.
But what Tsunade couldn't understand was that she had been very careful, avoiding Dan's Sharingan gaze.
She didn't know.
Dan's Yin Release Phantom Body Technique combined Taijutsu and Genjutsu, circulating Yin Release Chakra throughout his body, allowing him to release Genjutsu from any part of his body when fighting an enemy.
This technique had a characteristic when activated.
That is, in the enemy's eyes, a certain part of Dan's body would tremble minutely at an extremely high frequency, giving an unreal, ethereal sensation.
From Uchiha Itachi, to Root Ninja, to Tsunade.
This move never fails.
Of course.
The principle of Yin Release Phantom Body Technique sounds simple, but like Cloud Hidden Village's Lightning Release Nintaijutsu, it's incredibly difficult to master.
Dan spent a full ten years developing the prototype of this technique, and it's still in the refinement stage.
The people of the Senju Clan have physiques far superior to ordinary people and possess natural strong resistance to Genjutsu.
So.
Tsunade only took half a second to break free from the Genjutsu, her vision clearing once more.
But that half a second was enough for Dan to get behind her.
Swish.
He lightning-fast extended a thick arm, his forearm and biceps forming a ninety-degree angle, encircling Tsunade's neck from behind.
At the same time.
Dan's other hand slid past the back of Tsunade's neck, his two arms interlocking.
Tsunade had just regained her senses and realized something was wrong.
Dan immediately used his head to brace against hers and tightened his elbows, pulling backward forcefully, leaving Tsunade no room to struggle.
At this moment.
Dan held Tsunade from behind, their faces pressed together, looking like a couple in love.
But the reality was the complete opposite.
Because this was a Rear Naked Choke.
The Rear Naked Choke is a Jujutsu move, further divided into Blood Choke and Air Choke.
The Blood Choke constricts the enemy's carotid artery, causing cardiac arrest. It doesn't require much strength to execute and is a technique for overcoming stronger opponents with weaker force.
The Air Choke, on the other hand, obstructs the enemy's throat, causing a suffocating effect, and is more suitable for people with thick arms.
Dan was using the Air Choke on Tsunade.
As he applied force.
His arms, while pressing on Tsunade's neck, also lifted her petite body directly, making her feet leave the ground.
"Mmm..."
Tsunade couldn't make a sound, her face quickly turning red from blood rushing to it. Unable to exert force with her feet dangling, her legs flailed uselessly in the air.
Driven by a strong will to survive.
Boom.
A massive amount of Chakra erupted from Tsunade's body once more. She also raised her elbow with all her might, striking Dan's ribs behind her.
Unfortunately, it was to no avail.
Dan's expression didn't change. He withstood Tsunade's insignificant elbow strike, then tightened his grip, locking her down even more securely.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
After just five seconds.
Tsunade's Byakugan activated, her arms went limp, and she fainted on the spot from suffocation.
Thump.
After Dan released her, Tsunade fell limply to the ground, her life uncertain.
Ignoring the stunned onlookers around, he flicked his sleeve and drifted away, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.
"Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune rushed over in a panic, administering emergency aid to the unconscious Tsunade.
After some effort.
"Hah..."
Tsunade suddenly sat up, gasping for air, her chest heaving violently.
At this moment, her face was pale, and she was covered in a cold sweat, as if she had just returned from the brink of death.
"Lady Tsunade, it's so good that you're alright." Shizune finally breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes moist.
Tsunade's face was full of lingering fear.
For the past decade or so, she had neglected combat due to her Hemophobia, and had degenerated, abandoning her training. Only the title of Sannin could still intimidate others.
Now, encountering a strong enemy, she couldn't adapt and her true capabilities were exposed, easily subdued by the opponent.
However.
What Tsunade couldn't understand was.
That Uchiha fellow, what exactly was his intention?
He had deliberately provoked her into attacking, but he didn't retaliate. Only when Tsunade became relentless did he finally act, knocking her out.
Suddenly.
Tsunade's mind flashed back to the fact that the opponent had used the Akimichi Clan's Secret Technique Expansion Jutsu.
Could it be that the person was trying to... copy her Monster Strength with the Sharingan?
This was simply unbelievable.
Thinking of this.
"Shizune, let's go." Tsunade stood up, her expression grave, and left the street in a hurry with her disciple.
Two days later.
Dan walked into a small grove of trees.
After a battle with Tsunade, he had taken two of her punches directly to his body. Although there was no outward sign, truthfully, he had sustained some minor internal injuries.
This woman's strength was indeed terrifying.
However, Dan recovered after a short period of recuperation.
This minor injury had allowed Dan to master a new ability – Monster Strength.
In fact, he had been researching this taijutsu for a long time. This time, by observing with his Sharingan and experiencing it firsthand, he had finally achieved complete mastery.
Dan walked up to a large bluestone, about as tall as a person, and placed a single finger against its surface.
The next second.
Boom.
A powerful surge of energy erupted from his body, and a tremendous force traveled along his finger into the stone.
Crack.
Spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the large bluestone, centered around Dan's finger. Finally, with a loud bang, it exploded.
It turned into a pile of rubble.
This was Monster Strength.
The principle behind Monster Strength was actually very simple: concentrate Chakra in one part of the body and then unleash it instantaneously to increase destructive power.
But as the saying goes, the simpler a technique sounds, the harder it can sometimes be to master.
After Dan's exploration, he discovered that three conditions needed to be met to successfully use Monster Strength:
The first is the amount of Chakra.
Activating Monster Strength requires concentrating a large amount of Chakra. Only with abundant Chakra can destructive power be manifested. As a member of the Senju Clan, Tsunade naturally possesses several times more Chakra than ordinary ninjas.
The second is physical strength.
Concentrating a large amount of Chakra in a specific part of the body places immense pressure on the physique. If it cannot be endured, the result is self-inflicted injury.
Tsunade's physical strength goes without saying.
The third is the precise refinement and control of Chakra.
To use Monster Strength in combat in a timely manner, the speed of refining Chakra must be fast, and the Chakra must be controlled to instantly flow to specific body parts.
As a medical ninja, this is even more of Tsunade's forte.
What about Dan?
Chakra is essentially a product of the mixture of physical and spiritual energy.
The Senju and Uzumaki clans have strong bodies, while the Uchiha clan has strong spirits, which is why their Chakra is greater than that of ordinary people.
Dan, however, possesses both a strong body and a strong spirit. He doesn't know how much Chakra he has because he has never experienced Chakra exhaustion.
As for physical strength.
Dan had learned the Eight Inner Gates from Might Duy. His body, which had undergone physical modification, could easily withstand even the opening of the Sixth Gate, let alone mere Monster Strength.
And the last point.
Although Dan is not a medical ninja, he has trained his body for many years. He can not only control all 639 muscles in his body but also the autonomic and vegetative nerves within him.
These feats are more difficult than refining and controlling Chakra.
Thus, Monster Strength, which seemingly could not be replicated by the Sharingan, was learned by Dan.
In addition, There was an unexpected bonus.
Ever since Dan awakened the ability of his Stand, "The World," he could only stop time for two seconds, which was a bit short.
But during this period, he had experienced battles with Obito, the Root squad, and Tsunade, encountered several dangers, and even sustained some injuries.
Perhaps this sense of crisis finally further stimulated the potential of his Stand.
And so, at this moment.
Dan raised a finger and pointed at the void ahead, calmly uttering those four words once more:
"Za Warudo."
The next instant.
Dan's pupils dilated. Reflected in his eyes, a slowly rotating, colossal gear appeared.
That was the Time Gear.
