Chapter 46: Body Flicker Technique

"It's too incredible..." Itachi murmured under his breath, his Sharingan eyes darting back and forth between Dan and Shisui, unwilling to miss any detail of the battle. Izumi, standing next to him, was even more shocked because even with her Sharingan activated, she couldn't clearly see the movements of the two.

They were too fast.

There were many in the clan who shared Izumi's sentiment. Shisui's flamboyant swordsmanship, accompanied by his unpredictable Body Flicker Technique, was breathtaking. Dan, on the other hand, was as immovable as a mountain. Although his movement speed was not as fast as Shisui's, his punching speed was not slow at all. His muscular body, not only filled with immense strength and exaggerated defense, but the demonic face on his back was enough to instill fear in anyone who glanced at it.

This battle.

From offense and defense to the transition between the two, Dan had beautifully executed a defensive counterattack, successfully suppressing Shisui's momentum, and destroying his ninja sword. At present, it seemed that Dan had a slight advantage.

"Dan, give that traitor Shisui a good beating!" Hachidaime shouted excitedly.

Inohi and Tetsuhi, standing next to him, also had fanatic expressions on their faces. Although they had both been beaten up by Dan, they couldn't help but cheer for him at this moment.

At the front of the crowd.

Fugaku watched the battle with his arms crossed, a look of approval in his eyes as he praised his brother-in-law, "Impressive, truly impressive." Mikoto, however, still looked worried, praying in her heart that her brother wouldn't be careless, as the battle seemed far from over.

In the distance, atop a tree.

Kakashi's entire body was hidden in the dense leaves, with only one Sharingan eye exposed, watching everything happening on the ground below. He knew that the exchange between Dan and Shisui just now was just a warm-up. The real show was about to begin.

Sure enough.

Shisui stared at Dan, saying, "Dan, your muscles are too strong, your body has been trained to the peak. But I don't believe that this body of yours truly has no weaknesses."

As his words fell, his hands quickly formed seals.

In an instant.

Around Shisui, more than a dozen clones that looked exactly like him appeared.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

They circled around Dan, running at a speed that created afterimages, forming a large circular ring, firmly surrounding Dan.

There it was, Shisui's signature technique.

The Body Flicker Technique.

Compared to being used in a confined space, this technique was obviously more effective in the open. Shisui had created more than a dozen clones at once, making it hard for the eyes to follow.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

These clones quickly swarmed, launching a storm-like attack on Dan.

Crack!

Dan stepped forward, his arm sweeping like a dragon, creating a sonic boom, hitting three of Shisui's clones.

All were illusions.

He swung back with a palm, sweeping towards two clones attacking from behind.

Still illusions.

The most troublesome thing about Shisui's illusion clones was that they wouldn't disappear after being attacked.

There was a flaw.

Shisui, who was mixed in with the clones, seized the opportunity and launched a sneak attack from the side.

Whoosh.

A vicious low kick, carrying a sharp wind, aimed directly at Dan's crotch.

Facing the sneak attack.

Dan showed no signs of panic, instead, he simply leaned back, his massive body falling like a collapsing mountain, pressing towards Shisui.

If Shisui's attack landed, he would also be pinned under Dan, unable to move.

Shisui frowned.

This kind of mutually destructive tactic was something he couldn't afford.

So he gave up on this sneak attack, his body instantly shifting to another clone, leaving only an illusion in the original place.

Both sides' attacks fell through.

But Shisui quickly launched another attack.

He used the clones' feints to distract Dan, hiding his real body among them, specifically targeting Dan's eyes, temples, crotch, and even the middle of his buttocks...

These were all deadly areas to strike.

He didn't believe that Dan could train the weak points of the human body to be as hard as steel.

It had to be said.

Shisui was very clever, indeed finding the weak point of Dan's body, but in this process—

Dan also found Shisui's weak point.

The so-called Body Flicker Technique was actually a combination of the Body Flicker Technique and the Clone Technique.

The clones Shisui created were not shadow clones, so they had no physical form and wouldn't disperse even when attacked.

However, his speed was so fast that he could teleport to any clone, overlap it with his real body, and attack the enemy.

From this perspective.

Each of Shisui's clones was as real as the original.

On the battlefield.

The enemy's attacks were ineffective against Shisui's clones, and it was impossible to predict from which direction he would attack next, making it difficult to defend.

However, Dan was different from others.

He realized that he didn't need to predict from which direction Shisui would attack, he just needed to protect the vital parts of his body.

Because Shisui could only choose to attack those few places.

As for the other parts, even if he left them open for Shisui to punch and kick, they wouldn't break his defense, but would instead expose him to a counterattack from Dan.

Hmm?

Shisui quickly realized this.

His consecutive attacks failed to break Dan's defense and hit his vital points.

Bang, bang, bang.

For a time, although the sound of fists hitting flesh echoed across the field, the two were at a stalemate, neither able to overcome the other.

So, how should Dan break the deadlock?

If he summoned his Stand, "The World," and activated the five-second time stop—

Finding Shisui's real body and defeating him during this time wouldn't be difficult.

But Dan had already decided unless it was a critical moment, he wouldn't summon his Stand, let alone use Za Warudo lightly.

He did this, on one hand, to keep his abilities secret, but more importantly, he didn't want to become overly reliant on the power of time stop.

Once one forms a path dependence on the power of the Stand, they would become lazy to think, fall into complacency, and eventually become unambitious.

Dan would never forget, it was the person who was powerful, not the Stand.

Even if his Stand disappeared now, he would still go on in this world with his own strength, and carve out his own path.

Now, let's try to crack Shisui's Body Flicker Technique.

Got it.

A bolt of lightning flashed through Dan's mind.

Since he couldn't distinguish between Shisui's real body and the illusions, then...

He would just beat them all.

"Roar!"

Dan's eyes suddenly shone, and he let out a roar. His entire body, muscles, skin, and fascia, were filled with Yang Release chakra, causing them to bulge.

Crack, crack, crack.

Accompanied by the sound of cracking joints, his body grew a size larger, looking even more like a giant. Thick veins surfaced, crawling over his entire muscular body, intertwining like pythons.

At this moment.

The potential of Dan's body was fully unleashed.

What was he planning?

Shisui saw Dan's actions and was taken aback, but his attack didn't stop, instead, it intensified.

Because Dan had exposed a flaw, no longer guarding his body's vital points.

For Shisui, this was a great opportunity.

Was it really?

The next second, the answer was revealed.

"Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!"
