XX-level Hokage

Appearing in the air several miles away from Mashiro, the Pu Shi Building was panting heavily.

“No, we have to get back to the past quickly. We have to deal with those two guys and her in the past.” With that, Pu Shi pulled out a plow. With the infusion of chakra, the plow instantly transformed, and then a portal to another dimension appeared.

Just as Pu Shi was about to step into the Time Gate, Mashiro suddenly emerged from his shadow and reached out to grasp the plow.

"It's useless. Although I don't know what methods you used to obtain the power of the Otsutsuki, you cannot gain the Plow's approval without the power of time." As he stepped into the Gate of Time, Pu Shi said with a mocking tone.

"Is that so?" Mashiro chuckled.

Her eyes instantly turned into pale blue Rinnegan.

"Blue?!" Pu Shi instantly sensed something was wrong, Ran Ya Tianchen activated!

With the infusion of Mashiro's chakra, the plow changed again, and the time gate that Pu Shiki had constructed began to distort.

The time portal then transformed into a time black hole, entangling the two and instantly sucking them in. Soon after, the time black hole began to shrink.

Just as it was about to disappear, the future arrived here.

"Strange? Mashiro's aura seems to disappear here. What is this?" As the future arrived near the time black hole.

The time black hole unleashed its final power in an instant, a powerful suction force drawing her in. Then, the time black hole vanished.

There was no trace of the three people left in the desert.

Chapter 255: Revision (Part 1)

A wave of dizziness washed over her, and when Mashiro opened her eyes again, she found herself in a lush, green valley.

Looking at the shadows of the trees covering the ground, Mashiro suddenly realized something, and her shadow unconsciously merged into the shadows. Not far from her, Pu Shi was also looking around in confusion.

"It seems there was an accident during Plow's time travel. It seems I have to kill you to continue my plan." Pu Shi said in a low voice, looking at Mashiro. "Oh, I look forward to your performance." Mashiro instantly activated her Otsutsuki form.

He stretched out his hand, and the three Truth-Seeking Jewels behind him instantly transformed into three spears, which pierced towards Pu Shi in an instant.

Left with no other choice, Pu Shi used the Thousand Paper Cranes Instantaneous Movement technique again to dodge Mashiro's attack, and then appeared behind Mashiro. But this was exactly the moment Mashiro had been waiting for.

The moment Urashiki appeared, three more Truth-Seeking Balls transformed into black spears, piercing through his body in an instant. "You..." Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as Urashiki looked at Mashiro in disbelief.

The transformation time of the paper crane is almost zero. No one can react instantly unless Mashiro foresees its location in advance.

"Your Instantaneous Movement ability shouldn't be usable continuously, and I suspect that after activating it, you'll have at least a one-second downtime where you can't use any other abilities," Mashiro said calmly, turning to look at Pu, who was pinned down by the Truth-Seeking Ball.

This is a lush valley with many trees and shrubs. And these trees and shrubs provide almost complete shade.

Upon observing the environment, Mashiro immediately used the Shadow Soldiers to manipulate the shadows on the ground. The Shadow Soldiers shared the same perspective as Mashiro.

Therefore, as long as they are still in this valley, no matter how fast Pu Shi is, his position will be instantly locked by Mashiro.

You must have other tricks up your sleeve. Otherwise, it would be a real shame to have eyes that are the same color as mine. "Mashiro extended a finger and pointed it at Pu Shi.

Pu didn't speak. "Then, Ghana."

Mashiro drew a "一" shape in the air with her finger.

In an instant. Click!

Several large trees were cut in half.

But Pu Shi had vanished from the spot, along with Mashiro's Truth-Seeking Balls, disappearing without a trace. "Time reversal?" Mashiro murmured, looking at the three Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind her.

In her Otsutsuki Mode, Mashiro possesses nine Truth-Seeking Balls, but due to the imbalance of Yin and Yang chakra within her body, she can only barely conjure six at this time.

Three of the chakra orbs were used by Mashiro as a one-time attack on Urashiki, but Urashiki dodged them with a Thousand Paper Cranes Instantaneous Movement and then disappeared from the spot. The remaining three orbs were inserted into Urashiki's body to seal his chakra.

Now, three Truth-Seeking Balls have reappeared behind Mashiro, and with the "Time Reversal" reward from Kamashiro's favorability bonus, she has deduced the ability Kamashiro used.

Suddenly, Pu Shi appeared beside Mashiro and lashed the red fishing rod hard at Mashiro.

Mashiro dodged to the side, but was struck by Shiki's Heavenly Wooden Elbow Strike. Raising her arm to block, Mashiro was knocked back several steps.

Then, Pu Shi pressed his advantage, and the fishing line instantly pierced through Zhen Shiro's body.

“Using time rewind to foresee my actions is a wasteful tactic,” Mashiro said softly. “Whether it’s wasteful or not depends on the situation. Against you, it was worth it,” Pu Shi said.

Just as Mashiro said, Pu Shi had actually attacked Mashiro many times.

After each failure, Urashiki would rewind time, allowing him to completely predict Mashiro's every move. However, due to the time limit of Urashiki's time rewind, he could only predict Mashiro's actions for the next seven seconds. It was this complete prediction within those seven seconds that enabled Urashiki to successfully attack Mashiro.

"From now on, the chakra within your body belongs to me." Pu Shi laughed wildly and pulled hard on the fishing rod. But he pulled in vain; the hook came back empty.

"How is this possible?!" Pu Shi exclaimed in disbelief as he looked at the empty fishing hook.

If he had known that the red fishing rod was his exclusive weapon, even if the Ten-Tails were hooked, its chakra would still be hanging on the hook.

"So, it's a real shame that your intelligence doesn't match your abilities," Mashiro said softly. Then, everything around them began to change.

The "Mashiro" in front of Pu Shi transformed into a shadowy creature dressed in a black ninja outfit, while the real Mashiro appeared behind him, speaking with great interest.

"How can you be so sure?!" Pu Shi said in disbelief. The Otsutsuki clan is completely immune to genjutsu.

"I know the Otsutsuki clan is immune to genjutsu, so what I used wasn't genjutsu," Mashiro said softly. The ability Mashiro used was a reward from Yakumo's favorability rating: manipulation of the five senses.

As the name suggests, the ability to manipulate the five senses is to control the five senses of others; the weaker the chakra, the longer the manipulation time.

Mashiro rarely uses this ability because it has serious flaws: not only is it detectable, but it also causes slight pain during its use. Genjutsu can easily overcome ordinary people, but it's difficult to be truly effective against enemies, since ninjas possess special sensory abilities that transcend the five senses.

When dealing with Urashiki earlier, the moment the Truth-Seeking Ball was inserted into his body, Mashiro used it to activate her five senses manipulation. Due to the information gap, Urashiki did not notice anything unusual.

Everything that followed was a personal performance by Pu Shi, unfolding within a script orchestrated by Mashiro.

The target was a shadowy figure, and since shadowy ninjas have no chakra, they naturally wouldn't be hooked by the red fishing rod. Having been tricked once again, Pu Shi was utterly enraged.

"A mere inferior race, fortunate enough to have obtained the power of my race, dares to toy with me like this!"

Enraged, Pu Shi reached out, gouged out his own blue Rinnegan, and swallowed it. Shin Hyaku watched this scene with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

After losing his eyes, Pu Shi developed a pair of golden eyes, a golden Rinnegan appeared on his forehead, and multiple black horizontal stripes appeared on his face.

It sprouted huge horns resembling bird wings from its head, its feet turned into black claws, and its arms transformed into wings, allowing it to fly into the air.

"Wait for death, you ants!" Pu Shi's expression turned violent and arrogant as he spoke.

Then, he reached out his hand towards Mashiro. "Sekisuha Ryusei no Mikoto - Mitama"

Instantly, a large number of purple lights of different shapes and small purple balls were launched from Pu Shi's palm and attacked Mashiro.

"This is finally starting to get interesting." Mashiro laughed.

A long, silver ribbon appeared and floated around Mashiro.

As the purple light and the small purple sphere approached Mashiro, they instantly transformed into a ball of purple chakra, floating silently in front of him. "Damn it! Damn it!"

Seeing this, Pu Shi became impotently enraged again and launched another attack. "Sekisubo Meteor Fate - Dragon Camp"

Urashiki released a four-pointed star-shaped purple chakra from his palm, which then materialized into a giant blackish-purple oarfish. From the oarfish's mouth, a huge purplish-red chakra sphere could be released.

Like a purple meteorite, it crashed heavily onto Mashiro. It had no effect whatsoever.

The purple chakra sphere transformed once again into an enormous mass of chakra. "What is this...?" For the first time, Pu Shi felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

"Like I said before, your intelligence doesn't match your ability. Chakra attacks are the last thing I'm afraid of," Mashiro said softly. Mashiro was almost immune to genjutsu and ninjutsu; only eye techniques and taijutsu could harm her.

If Pu Shi's time reversal is not used to predict actions but instead combined with physical techniques to dodge attacks, coupled with Pu Shi's red light fishing rod and the Thousand Paper Crane Instantaneous Movement, it could actually cause Mashiro a lot of trouble.

However, his arrogance as an Otsutsuki prevented him from ever seriously considering Mashiro's abilities, ultimately leading to his utterly miserable defeat. "This is truly goodbye, Kano~"

After saying that, the huge chakra mass floating in the air transformed into a giant purple ball and slammed heavily into Pu Shi.

Chapter 256: Revision (Part 2)

"How could this be? I might actually be defeated by a mere inferior race. Damn it!"

Pu roared in resentment as he was engulfed by the purple sphere, his body gradually disintegrating. But then, a sudden change occurred.

Just as Pu Shi was about to be completely devoured, he pulled out the plow.

"Are you trying to make one last desperate attempt?" Mashiro said softly. Then she instantly activated Ranya Tianchen.

The two forces of time began to influence each other. Then, the plow began to move under this influence.

The moment the plow opened, the tortoise, which served as the plow's support, shattered instantly.

An incomparably powerful force of time surged forth; this was the supreme force of time passed down by the Dajianmu clan.

Under the influence of this power of time, both Mashiro and Urashiki's abilities instantly became ineffective. Then, Urashiki's body was completely obliterated within the giant purple sphere, which then exploded.

Mashiro was forced into the shadows. *Sizzle*

It sounded like an electric current.

A massive crater instantly appeared in the ground, and from within the crater, purple energy and the power of time began to rage outwards.

Just then, a surge of white energy erupted from the giant pit, forming a towering pillar of light that instantly enveloped the purple energy and the power of time.

Not far away, Mashiro appeared on a tree, silently watching this eerie scene.

After absorbing the purple energy and the power of time, the white pillar of light began to flicker and pulsate, occasionally emitting a hissing sound. "This power is..." Instantly activating her Byakugan, Mashiro looked at the towering pillar of light before her. She felt that the power within the pillar was somewhat familiar. "Dragon Vein!" As the pillar of light continued to change, Mashiro finally confirmed what this power was.

"Was the power of time in the dragon vein formed at this moment? I see..." Mashiro murmured to herself, she had come to understand something. Just then, the pillar of light stopped changing and began to fall into an eerie silence.

"Oh no!" Just as Mashiro was about to approach, she suddenly sensed something and hurriedly sank back into the shadows.

An invisible force began to spread from the pillar of light outwards, instantly withering flowers, trees, and turning the land into desert. After an unknown period of time, the pillar of light began to shrink and then disappeared.

A moment later, Mashiro emerged from the ground. Looking around, she saw only desolation.

"As expected, the power of time in the Dragon Vein comes from the future, from the power of the Otsutsuki." Mashiro walked to the vicinity of the deep pit, looking at the wisps of white energy in the pit, and said softly.

Mashiro had previously wondered why dragon veins existed in the ninja world, and why they possessed the power to manipulate time. Now, everything has been explained.

Just now, before his death, Pu Shi activated the power of rewind, and Mashiro began to counter it with Ranya Kanchen's "Unstained" power.

Time rewind can turn back time by a few seconds. Pu Shih wants to use this ability to slow down his death and hold out until Plow takes effect. "Undyed" allows Mashiro to appear in the future ten minutes in advance.

Using the power to reach the future, Mashiro continuously diminishes Pu Shi's yearning for the past.

The final showdown between the two will depend on how long they can change their state. Mashiro's "Undying" is confirmed to last for ten minutes. If Pu Shi can use his rewind continuously for more than ten minutes, he will be able to break free from Mashiro's restraints. If not, he will definitely die inside the purple sphere.

During their confrontation, the plow suddenly activated, but because of his battle with Mashiro, Pu Shi failed to use it in time, causing the plow's vessel to be swallowed by the giant purple sphere, which then unleashed the immense power of time contained within.

Because the plow can alter time almost infinitely, both Mashiro and Pu Shiki's abilities become ineffective under its influence. Without the ability to rewind time, Pu Shiki dies instantly.

With his death, the chakra within his body reacted with the giant purple sphere, causing an explosion. This explosion created a deep crater, drawing out a new power—the primordial power of the Earth—the Dragon Vein. The Dragon Vein instantly devoured both of these external forces.

The power of time required the activation of the Otsutsuki clan, and the purple power happened to be the power of Otsutsuki Urashiki. Thus, the dragon vein that absorbed both powers gained the power to traverse time.

This is why Mashiro's Rinnegan automatically activated when his power was absorbed by the Dragon Vein; he sensed another great wooden force within the Dragon Vein.
