"Or rather, it is not even on the same level."

"The 'Limit State' was merely relying on trained jumping power to perform a slam dunk."

"Like an overloaded engine, it could be used, but not for long."

"But now, the realm of God-Seeing Indestructibility is like growing into a three-meter-tall giant, directly lifting the entire basketball hoop up!"

"Every bit of strength in the body, every ounce of Chakra, is utilized to the absolute limit."

"It is almost never wasted, never restricted."

"Every strike is a 'Limit State', every strike achieves an effect that was previously impossible to reach even with an all-out effort."

"With this, I have completely stepped into the realm of a Kage."

"I could even kill the vast majority of so-called Kage head-on if I close the distance."

"Because the difference in the essence of life dictates that they mostly entered that realm through the nature transformation of Chakra."

"Their neural reaction systems, in the final analysis, still fall within the category of ordinary people."

"And as for my speed and strength, as long as I close the distance, those so-called Kage will not have the time to react to my fists."

Nara Dan calmly weighed his current combat power, unable to help but feel a sense of melancholy.

The six months of stagnation and bottlenecks had finally paid off with this burst of accumulation, which could be considered getting what he wished for.

Of course, such a humble-bragging mindset would inevitably lead to him being cursed at if spoken aloud.

Could a six-month bottleneck even be called a bottleneck? The Third would have doubted his life back then if he heard this.

And what would make him doubt his life even more now is that Nara Dan has already broken through.

Suddenly, Nara Dan seemed to sense something and looked up into the distance.

Several miles away, several Anbu ninjas were running in parallel, heading toward the direction of the Nara Clan Grounds.

Clearly, the commotion Nara Dan made just now by opening the Eight Inner Gates was not small.

Any ninja with even a slight bit of sensory ability could perceive the terrifyingly massive Chakra fluctuations in the Nara Clan Grounds tonight.

It was as violent and uncontrollable as a Tailed Beast.

Although they didn't know why it suddenly disappeared later, those with some insight, combined with the information about the Nara Clan Grounds, would basically think that Nara Dan had likely obtained the Eight Inner Gates or was practicing a similarly terrifying forbidden technique.

Naturally, they would dispatch Anbu subordinates to investigate the specific situation.

Suddenly, one of the leading Anbu ninjas felt his heart tighten.

He felt a sense of extreme, dangerous terror crawling all over his body, making his skin crawl.

In a trance, he seemed to see a pair of eyes, bright as lamps, watching him in the dark night.

The eyes emitted a gentle warmth, but his body felt as if it were about to melt.

From head to toe, from his thoughts to his flesh, he was slowly melting bit by bit, inch by inch, under the gaze of those eyes.

The Anbu ninja felt cold sweat pouring down, his heart pounding wildly; he wanted to scream but could not make a sound.

"Captain? What's wrong?"

Suddenly, a voice broke the current stalemate; he remembered it was the voice of his subordinate.

With a boom, as if awakened from a dream, he jumped out of that eerie state.

"Huff, huff, huff, huff."

The Anbu captain hunched his chest and back, gasping for air, feeling as if he had just walked through the gateway between life and death.

"I..."

Just as the Anbu captain wanted to describe the situation, he had only opened his mouth when he felt a wave of sleepiness reaching his soul coming from deep within his body.

"Thump."

The Anbu captain fell to the ground.

"Captain!"

"What happened!"

"There might be an enemy attack!!"

Instantly, the entire squad became tense; two members went to check on the fallen Anbu captain, while two others formed hand seals, remaining on high alert.

"Captain! Captain!"

The Anbu members called out, but the Anbu captain was already unconscious.

"He is fine."

Suddenly, a voice rang out by their ears, and almost all the Anbu became tense.

They saw that Nara Dan, who had been several miles away, had appeared before the tactical squad at some point.

Immediately, all the Anbu members looked at each other, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"Nara... Lord?"

After a moment, an Anbu member finally spoke, their tone laced with a hint of hesitation.

The reason they were so uncertain wasn't just because they were still several miles away from the home of Nara Dan.

It was more because the Nara Dan standing before them was a far cry from the image they had known.

The previous Nara Dan had been robust and tall, his skin darkened from long-term outdoor training. His entire being had exuded the fierce aura of a black panther.

Anyone who met him would feel a visible sense of threat, as if their very life was in immediate danger.

But the Nara Dan standing quietly there now, while still tall, had visibly shrunk, his once-bulging muscles now a size smaller.

Not only that, even though the sky was already growing dim, Nara Dan's skin had become noticeably translucent and crystalline.

Furthermore, the sense of threat one felt when facing a beast during their previous meetings had vanished entirely.

His entire temperament now possessed a vastness, calm as the sea and deep as an abyss.

Rather than a renowned Taijutsu ninja, he looked more like a composed strategist from the Nara House.

Therefore, even though some of the Anbu members had crossed paths with Nara Dan before, no one dared to confirm who the person before them was.

It was related to Nara Dan, yet it seemed entirely disconnected from him.

Nara Dan nodded, naturally aware of the reason, and without offering much explanation, he reassured the Anbu ninja instead.

"Your captain is not injured; he was merely startled by the aura I inadvertently released."

"He will be fine after getting some rest."

Nara Dan would naturally not make things difficult for these Anbu ninjas who were merely completing their mission, and they had not caused him any trouble.

What happened just now was indeed an accident; after reaching the realm of God-Seeing Indestructibility, his originally powerful intuition had evolved into a high-precision instinct bordering on precognition.

It wasn't that Nara Dan had discovered them, but rather that he had "foreseen" their arrival.

This was what is known as "Cicada Senses Autumn Before It Moves."

The protective instinct of life itself had been amplified to its limit.

In other words, even if they used long-range ninjutsu strikes, ambushes, or poison, such dangers were as clear as the lines on his palm to Nara Dan.

He could easily "sense them beforehand," making it difficult for anything to threaten his life again.

As for the Anbu captain fainting, it was even simpler: Nara Dan's powerful Life Magnetic Field had inadvertently disrupted the captain's internal energy.

Or rather, it was the crushing pressure of a superior species' aura over an inferior one.

It was a product similar to the "Dragon Might" found in mythology.

If the previous Nara Dan was merely a fierce tiger, displaying his threat level to enemies solely through his size, scent, and fangs, Then the current Nara Dan, who had fully converged his Life Magnetic Field and strengthened the essence of his life, was a divine dragon.

A divine dragon can be large or small, visible or hidden.

Yet, the intensity of a divine dragon's Life Magnetic Field remains constant.

When facing enemies, he only needed to release his powerful Life Magnetic Field, and the enemies would fall into a state of internal disruption.

The most direct manifestation of this was being unable to move or fainting on the spot.
