A Serious Punch

Uchiha clan land.

Dan never went to watch the Chunin Examination.

Instead, he came alone to the depths of the woods near Naka Shrine.

In the past few days, Dan has been thinking about a question, and that is——

Where is the upper limit of his power?

With Dan's current physical strength and a five-second pause, he can defeat almost any opponent in the ninja world.

Nagato, Jiraiya, the Fourth Raikage and others, as long as they are cut off and take hundreds of punches from him within a five-second pause, there will only be one end, which is death.

As for others.

Not even qualified to stop the time.

However.

Dan also knows that his real enemies in the future will not be these people.

But it's the Sixth Path level.

Uchiha Madara, Otsutsuki Kaguya, Kinshiki, Momoshiki, Urashiki who may be resurrected in the future...

The power of ordinary people, whether it is ninjutsu, taijutsu or genjutsu, cannot cause any harm to the sixth-path level powerhouse.

In the original work, the only person who can shake the body of the Six Paths sage with mortal power is Might Guy who has opened the Eight Gates.

But the "Night Guy" kick he kicked while burning life failed to kill Uchiha Madara. After the latter was kicked into pieces, half of his body was broken, and he quickly recovered as before.

I can't help but think about it.

When he faces Madara, or Kaguya, Momoshiki and others who are stronger than Madara, how can he win?

A pessimistic fact is.

Even if you get close to these Six Paths level enemies and successfully activate Time Stop, as long as the opponent defends with the power of Six Paths, then——

No matter how many punches he throws, whether it is a hundred punches, a thousand punches, or ten thousand punches, I am afraid it will only tickle the opponent and cannot break the enemy's defense.

After realizing this.

Dan make a decisive decision, no longer pursue quantity, but pursue quality.

Instead of punching the enemy a hundred times, like "Might Guy", it is better to concentrate all the strength of the body into one punch and exert one's ultimate strength.

Now.

He wants to see where his limit is.

"Hoo~"

In the woods, take slow and deep breaths to adjust your body to its optimal state.

Then.

He took off his shirt, revealing his devilish muscles.

It's about to begin.

The first step is the Eight Gate.

"open!"

Dan's eyes widened, he shouted low, and an astonishing amount of chakra erupted from his body.

Dan learned the art of Eight Gates from Might Duy, who was a member of the Muscle Transformation Department during his lifetime and was also Dan's friend.

​It's just.

As a forbidden art, Eight Gate gains power at the cost of burning life, which will cause huge damage to the practitioner's body.

Therefore, even after completing the physical transformation, Dan has never used this technique in actual combat.

Until this time.

As the eight gate in Dan's body opened one after another, his whole body seemed to be filled with blood. His body swelled again, his skin turned blood red, and a large number of blood vessels bulged.

Chi chi chi chi.

His body emitted green energy, which was more violent than the energy fluctuations of the Thunder Chakra mode.

It's not over yet.

Keimon, open!

Kyomon, open!

He opened the seventh gate in a single breath, and his body began to emit blue steam produced by the evaporation of sweat. The terrifying chakra fluctuations made him look like a real humanoid tailed beast.

Dan, fused with the blood of the Joestar, Uchiha and Senju clans, and trained his muscles to their peak.

​With his physical strength.

Even if the seventh gate is opened, as long as the time is controlled within one minute, it can fully withstand the load caused by opening the gate without causing serious damage to the body.

enough.

As for the final eighth gate - the gate of death, we will not consider it.

because.

He definitely has no intention of opening the Eight-gate Formation and risking his own life just for a moment of bloom like Might Guy did.

He wants to find another way.

The second step is to punch.

Dan posed, bending his knees slightly.

Boom!

As his center of gravity sank to his legs, the ground beneath his feet also collapsed, creating spiderweb-like cracks.

Next.

Dan retracted his right fist to his waist, then rotated his waist and drove his entire upper body, using the force generated by the rotation to cooperate with his shoulders——

He punch out.

All the chakra in his body was concentrated on this fist in an instant, and it was about to explode.

Eight-gate plus monster power, is this the upper limit of Dan's power?

No, not yet.

The World!

As Dan activated his Stand power, the entire world lost its color in an instant, and everything in the world froze.

The stand "The World" first appeared quietly behind Dan, and then... attached itself to his body.

Become one with him.

The two fists also merged into one, and they were punched out together slowly.

Yes, slowly.

This punch was extremely slow, almost like a snail crawling, moving forward little by little.

In the battle of ninjas.

No one would punch like this, because it was too slow and impossible to hit. Anyone could easily dodge and laugh.

But it's precisely because it's slow.

Therefore, in the process of punching, Dan is still accumulating strength and momentum, integrating all the essence, energy and spirit of his body into this punch without reservation.

The slower the punch, the more powerful it is.

In this world that has stopped.

Buzz buzz.

Dan's fist unleashed a mighty momentum that made the surrounding space faintly tremble, as if the whole world had been triggered by his punch.

As long as this punch hits the enemy, it will definitely be earth-shattering.

But how can such a slow punch hit someone?

Of course, it is in conjunction with the power of time stopping.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Four seconds, five seconds.

In these five seconds, Dan fist extended forward little by little, allowing this incredible punch to gradually climb to the peak of the fist.

The moment when time resumes its flow.

Boom!

Dan fist suddenly accelerated and landed in the void in front of him. Unimaginable power burst out like a flood.

However.

It was obviously a shocking punch, but it did not show the destructive power it should have. Not to mention destroying the entire forest, not even a small sapling in front of it fell down.

So, where did the power of this punch go?

Click!

Directly in front of Dan fist, there was a sound in the air, as if something was broken.

It's space.

With Dan's fist as the center.

The void is like a mirror that has been cracked by external forces, with dark cracks appearing and spreading around.

The reason why Dan's punch did not cause any damage to the surroundings was because all his power was poured into those dark cracks, and he didn't know where it went.

A few seconds later.

Those cracks quickly disappeared in front of Duan's eyes, as if they had never appeared.

Space is like water surface that is splashed by stones and then returns to its original state.

But Dan has already confirmed one thing.

He penetrated the void.

Then.

After breaking off the Eight Gate, he put away his stand, sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes and rested for a moment.

Then he opened his eyes, his eyes burning.

He didn't have a strange naming habit like Namikaze Minato, so he named the punch just now "Serious Punch".

As the name suggests.

When Dan threw that punch, He was really serious.
