The gale howled as the Wood Dragon spiraled into the sky amidst their conversation, piercing through the sea of clouds.
"Come, unleash your next move," Shin'yu said calmly.
Urashiki's face contorted in rage as he was firmly bitten by the Wood Dragon. The powerful bite force threatened to crush his bones, and his Chakra was rapidly draining away like a dam bursting, continuously absorbed by the Wood Dragon.
Shin'yu's gaze remained calm as he rested his hand on the hilt of his sword, expressionlessly looking down at him.
From the very start of the battle, he had activated Mahoraga to adapt to Urashiki's Yomotsu Hirasaka. In his view, this ultimate space-time Ninjutsu, which could only be performed with a Bloodline Limit, was the most troublesome.
As time passed, the progress of the analysis continued to accumulate with the battle, but the technique was too complex. Even with the Eye Power of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, it was difficult to complete the adaptation in a short time.
Therefore, while the situation was still within his control, he deliberately slowed down the battle, using the Complete Body Susanoo to force Urashiki to release Yomotsu Hirasaka, giving Mahoraga more time and space to analyze.
But as the battle progressed, the power of Urashiki's Blue Rinnegan caught his attention.
Not only could it predict the future through "rewinding," but it could also make his always-successful Ame no Tokotachi ineffective without him even noticing!
If this guy really ate the God Tree Fruit, his technique would inevitably be strengthened, and the upper limit would be unimaginable.
Shin'yu secretly guessed whether Urashiki's technique and his Ame no Tokotachi, both theoretically space-time abilities, might have some overlap.
Therefore, he immediately switched his adaptation target, using Mahoraga's decoding ability to fully analyze Urashiki's rewind ability.
The so-called "rewind" is to repeatedly experience reality, gain experience in dealing with it, and then retrace the progress to avoid unfavorable results, allowing the future to develop in the direction he wants.
The truly terrifying aspect of Urashiki's technique is that he can repeatedly rewind the same timeline. Although the range is small, it has an infinite number of times, making it almost the strongest defense technique.
And the way to deal with defense is to restrain the desire to attack and wait for the opportunity.
If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, using immutability to respond to all changes.
After absorbing Urashiki's Chakra, the Wood Dragon continued to grow. Faced with such a crisis, he had to respond!
"Ame no Subako: Crane Wings!"
The Wood Dragon's mouth loosened, and the upper and lower jaws suddenly merged, scattering countless red origami cranes from the seams, disappearing with the wind, without a trace.
Shin'yu immediately stopped his momentum and closed his eyes. Soul perception, magnetic field detection, and Chakra ultra-frequency wave detection were combined, and the resulting spatial perception ability was pushed to the maximum.
Above the Wood Dragon, about 80 meters away in a straight line, Urashiki's figure appeared without warning, staring fiercely at this position.
"Hmm, so this move can teleport this far."
As this thought appeared in his mind, Shin'yu's Guardian God Sword had already been unsheathed, turning into a beam of cold blue light and flying out. The tip of the sword pierced through layers of air, shooting in front of Urashiki in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, he activated Ame no Tokotachi again to rewind his own state, setting the time node to half a second ago.
A strange thing happened: his state did not successfully recover, but... the Guardian God Sword, which was not selected as the target, inexplicably returned to his hand.
"So that's how it is," Shin'yu said, holding Frost Descent One Heart flat, slowly opening his eyes, his pupils deep.
"Time has no meaning."
His gaze flickered with a certain light. "So-called time is just a parameter used by humans to describe the process of material movement and the process of change in things. Time itself has no meaning. It has no concrete manifestation, only an abstract concept."
"Determining time requires relying on the law of material periodic changes that are not affected by the outside world under macroscopic conditions, such as... the Earth's rotation."
"Therefore, the concept of time is relative. The frame of reference is different, and the flow of time is naturally different."
"My Ame no Tokotachi isn't failing; on the contrary, it succeeds every time."
"However, the reason I haven't recovered is because while I was rewinding myself, you used your Rinnegan to rewind the entire world's timeline, keeping my time node aligned with the world's. According to the concept of relativity, if the time flow is the same, then reality remains unchanged."
Uchiha Shin'yu smiled slightly, his eyes shining brightly, "Otsutsuki Urashiki, I didn't expect you to bring me such a surprise."
"There's no clever way to crack your technique. The simplest approach is the best. I can only use a longer timeline to overwhelm you and cover your rewind range!"
As he spoke, Shin'yu's right Mangekyo turned gently, and his whole being instantly felt refreshed. The previous consumption was swept away, his mental state was full, and his Chakra was abundant, looking no different from before the battle.
"You!" Urashiki's face darkened.
In fact, the reason Shin'yu's Eye Technique was suppressed by Urashiki was due to Shin'yu's previous habits.
In the past, whenever he was injured, over-consumed, or in an unfavorable situation, he would choose the most recent time node to perform the rewind when preparing to activate his Eye Technique.
For example, if he was cut in half 1 second ago, he would immediately rewind to the moment before he was cut in half; if he was pierced 2 seconds ago, he would never rewind to 3 seconds ago.
The reason for doing this was to minimize the burden on his body. The moment he used his Eye Technique, his cells would experience varying degrees of stinging pain, and the longer the timeline was pulled, the more intense the fleeting pain would be.
In battle, this pain would distract him and slow down his nerve reaction speed.
Over time, he developed a "thrifty" fighting habit, and even after upgrading to the undamaged Eternal Eye, he still maintained this habit.
When he first awakened his eyes, he didn't care about this at all, and every time he would rewind to the extreme limit of 5 minutes ago to ensure that he had no losses.
The night he left Hidden Leaf Village explained everything.
Until the battle at the Valley of the End, he met Tobirama.
Because his reaction was not timely enough, the evil Senju old ghost was just a little faster than him, leading to being suppressed by a combo of Flying Thunder God Barrier and Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags...
In front of experts, especially in front of such "lightning-fast" Ninja, any slight mistake is fatal.
When facing Urashiki, if Shin'yu could unhesitatingly pull the timeline to the extreme limit of 10 minutes, then Urashiki's rewind interference would instantly fail, after all, his range was only a short 10 seconds at most.
Shin'yu moved his shoulders, letting the wooden dragon under his feet fall into the lake, "So... Otsutsuki Urashiki, can you continue to dance?"
Urashiki slowly descended until he was at the same level as Shin'yu, facing each other.
"Accept your fate, Uchiha Shin'yu, you can't hurt me at all now!" he said.
"Go to hell, Uchiha Shin'yu, you in this era can only obediently wait for death..." Shin'yu's tone was light, "You should have said that when we first met."
"I really hate you, whether in the future or now!"
Shin'yu sneered, raised his Guardian God Sword, his eyes like a hunting python, ready to strike, making Urashiki feel a chill in his heart.
"Now that things have come to this, try calling yourself a 'god' again?"
