The System's Biggest BUG!

Takizawa Dan was well aware that the reason he could fight above his rank, and even slay a Jonin, was his combination of ninjutsu and the Multi Shadow Clone Technique!

Because his Multi Shadow Clone Technique could actually unleash the ninjutsu or taijutsu that his original body had mastered!

What was even more monstrous was that every clone possessed an independent cooldown timer for its ninjutsu!

Just like before, although he had already used "Wind Style: Dance of the Kamaitachi" and would need to wait thirty minutes to use it again, every clone created by the Multi Shadow Clone Technique came with a fresh, ready-to-use "Wind Style: Dance of the Kamaitachi"!

That was why he could unleash dozens of "Wind Style: Dance of the Kamaitachi" at once, ultimately forcing Miki Ichiro to his death with a sky full of wind blades!

If he were dealing with ordinary enemies, these dozens of clones would be equivalent to dozens of bullets that could be fired one by one, each one enough to take a life!

It truly lived up to its reputation as a forbidden jutsu; when combined with other ninjutsu, the effect was nothing short of heaven-defying!

A blue fragment dropped from Miki Ichiro's corpse.

A blue fragment! This was the highest-grade fragment he had encountered so far!

Takizawa Dan hurried forward and picked up the fragment.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ability: Wind Style: Floating Catkin Jutsu! (Makes the user's bones and muscles soft and capable of bending at will, greatly increasing agility, flexibility, and evasion capabilities!)]

[Cooldown: 120 minutes]

[Duration: 10 minutes]

[Host's current abilities: Basic Taijutsu, Basic Gentle Fist, Multi Shadow Clone Technique, Wind Style: Dance of the Kamaitachi, Wind Style: Floating Catkin Jutsu!]

Looking at his panel, Takizawa Dan suddenly thought of a possibility!

If this possibility turned out to be true, his strength would undergo a world-shaking transformation in the future!

Desperately suppressing his excitement, Takizawa Dan took a deep breath and buried Miki Ichiro's body on the spot.

He had to admit that disposing of a body was a technical job; for Takizawa Dan, who was doing this for the first time, it took a full hour!

Just in time, the Multi Shadow Clone Technique was ready to be used again!

"Multi Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Wind Style: Floating Catkin Jutsu!"

In this space, dozens of "Takizawa Dans," including the original, saw their figures become erratic, like willow catkins swaying in the wind!

A gust of wind swept by, and countless fallen leaves and flower petals drifted down, yet they couldn't touch even a corner of their clothes!

Ten minutes later, the dozens of clones stopped twisting and, under Takizawa Dan's control, dissipated completely!

"Not bad, not bad. With this Floating Catkin Jutsu, within ten minutes, unless it's a close-range technique like the Rasengan or a physical taijutsu attack, I basically don't have to fear long-range attacks from Jonin-level enemies anymore!" Takizawa Dan said with satisfaction.

Only after trying it did he understand how outstanding the evasion effect of this "Wind Style: Floating Catkin Jutsu" was. Previously, Miki Ichiro had used it with less than a tenth of his own power, yet he had been able to remain completely unaffected within the range of the "Wind Style: Dance of the Kamaitachi."

Moreover, it required no hand seals and could be cast instantly in an emergency to save his life!

It was worthy of being a blue-tier skill; it was completely worth the grade!

However, what Takizawa Dan really wanted to verify was by no means as simple as a single blue skill!

"Hoo..."

Takizawa Dan let out a long breath and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Soon, another hour passed.

Takizawa Dan stood up, flames seemingly surging in his eyes!

"Multi Shadow Clone Technique!"

As soon as the dozens of clones appeared, they used "Wind Style: Floating Catkin Jutsu" once again under Takizawa Dan's control!

"It really works!"

As the clones dissipated, Takizawa Dan's voice trembled with excitement!

He had discovered the biggest bug in the system so far!

The "Wind Style: Floating Catkin Jutsu," which originally required a 120-minute cooldown before it could be used again, had been successfully unleashed by the clones after only 60 minutes!

This was because every clone condensed was a "brand-new existence" that copied Takizawa Dan's abilities, unaffected by the cooldowns of skills already used, and came with all skills ready to go!

This meant that as long as Takizawa Dan used his clones to cast skills, the maximum cooldown would never exceed 60 minutes!

Based on the current cooldowns of skills of different qualities, he feared that the more powerful the skill, the longer the cooldown would become in the future.

A blue-quality skill already required a 120-minute cooldown.

What about higher-level purple skills, or even orange skills?

He had even imagined... if there were some extremely powerful ninjutsu, such as some of Kaguya Otsutsuki's techniques, he might only be able to use them once in his entire life.

But with the Multi Shadow Clone Technique, they would all only have a 60-minute cooldown!

"Hahahaha! Heavens, you finally haven't treated me unfairly!"

Takizawa Dan looked up and laughed wildly, acting like a madman!

After venting his emotions to his heart's content, Takizawa Dan finally calmed down.

This was the greatest secret he possessed, one that absolutely could not be leaked. Otherwise, he would surely be seized by those with ulterior motives, and it might even lead to a fatal disaster!

Aside from himself, he could never tell a soul, not even those closest to him.

Calculating that he had already been in this clearing for over two hours, Takizawa Dan decided to head home, fearing that lingering any longer might invite unnecessary suspicion.

On the way back, Takizawa Dan unexpectedly ran into someone.

Might Guy!

"Yo! Kid, I heard that stinky brat Miki Ichiro gave you trouble earlier? Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Might Guy flashed a smile full of concern. "I heard about it from Lee and rushed right over!"

A warmth spread through Takizawa Dan's heart.

When Miki Ichiro had come to cause trouble, many people had seen it, including several other jonin.

Yet, he had stayed in that clearing for a full two hours, and during that time, not a single person had come to protect him, leaving him to be lectured by the other party.

Only Might Guy, upon hearing the news, had made a special trip to look after him.

"It's nothing, Teacher Guy," Takizawa Dan said with a smile. Because of Lee, he also liked to affectionately address him as Teacher. "Mr. Miki just warned me to stay away from his students in the future and not to hinder their training, then he left. He didn't say anything else."

"Really? Letting you off so easily doesn't fit that annoying guy's usual style at all!" Might Guy said, looking suspicious.

"It's true," Takizawa Dan said calmly. "After all, I'm just a good-for-nothing who isn't even a ninja. If he were to personally lay a hand on me, it would be beneath his dignity."

Hearing Takizawa Dan say this, Guy's face immediately fell. "Dan! I won't allow you to call yourself a good-for-nothing! Let others say what they want! In your teacher's eyes, you are a genius that no one can compare to!"

"You have to keep at it! Overcome all obstacles and find your own passionate youth!!!"

As he spoke, Guy even gave his signature thumbs-up to Takizawa Dan, revealing his gleaming white teeth!
