Chapter 41 - forty one

28 days passed by meditating when jiyuu finally found some progress, now he could feel that aura a little bit. According to the system jiyuu could maintain that aura for 0.5 second. But he was invincible in that 0.5 second then it would take a toll on his mind and soul to maintain further.

jiyuu [ finally I have a real trump card... Even if it is for 0.5 second, it's worth it... system give me a detailed analysis..]

{beep... host can maintain the one punch man aura and strength for 0.5 second then at least 24 hours rest is needed, trying to maintain the aura for more time will lead to unforeseen complications or death....

Host is able to carry out the normal series move, normal punch within one second...

further moves that can be done within 0.5 second can be developed....

Host has started losing his hair trying to maintain the strong aura, but due to the effect of Ancient god's blood the lost hair is growing back....}

Jiyuu " hah ... my hair... no wonder, I started seeing more hair in my bathroom..."

[ I should find Duy today and spar with him. Training the trump card for future use is of utmost importance.... ]

jiyuu met up with duy's usual training spot. Duy had completely changed by now he was full of confidence and a smile hung around his face all the time. He could use ninjutsu now like other normal ninjas and with the addition of his expertise in taijutsu, he was really a tiger with wings. But he never became arrogant or stopped his handwork and training, Now he could draw with Sakumo... but Sakumo was more intelligent and in real life situation the balance might tip towards Sakumo, after all he was an unprecedented genius.

Jiyuu and Duy sparred for some time and they were closing to the climax of the duel Duy used the leaf whirlwind kick, but jiyuu didn't dodge or block it was like he didn't care whether the hit land on his head... Duy was taken aback he couldn't stop his full power move, he was expecting that jiyuu would block or dodge...

When the wind and dust cleared, Duy was surprised to find that one of his strongest kick was stopped by a single finger.

Duy " you...you.. how did you do it.. not even a jonin can take my kick so effortlessly with a single finger.."

Jiyuu " This is a new technique that I invented, but it consumes too much energy and mental strength..."

Duy " I have only heard of the raikage from the kumo who could use such power with a single finger..."

The mood changed all of a sudden, Duy knew he had accidentally scratched some wound he shouldn't have. A cold glint passed through jiyuu's eyes as he heard the name kumo. But he didn't show much of a reaction to Duy and left after bidding farewell.

As destiny has it, when he reached near his house someone was standing there. An anbu from root he delivered a scroll and disappeared. Jiyuu returned home and opened the scroll, as he read what was inside, he started clenching his fist...

jiyuu [ .... finally, a mission to kumo... It says further details will be provided if I join the mission, I need to report after three days... system how is the data collected on Kumo ...]

{beep... there is a vast amount of data on Kumo that have already been sorted out .... geographical data is almost 70% complete, the other data relating to their language difference ethnicity and society needs more information to be sorted out properly... different kind of techniques have been analyzed but the data is also limited due to the availability of these information being lower..... with this mission we can collect a large amount of data, that can help us in the future.... But it is advised that host don't plan on dealing with the remains of Kinkau forces on this mission …}

Jiyuu [ hmm...system prepare a list of equipments and materials, so that even if we have to go on dragged out battle it should be enough...]
