The grand narrative of the ninja world was ultimately the tale of an unfilial son who sealed his beautiful mother away, and the millennia-long quest of her dutiful, shadow-dwelling orphan—Black Zetsu—to rescue her.
If viewed purely from a aesthetic and mythological perspective, setting aside personal moral opinions, Black Zetsu's endless quest to free Kaguya Otsutsuki was a heartwarming tale of filial piety that rivaled ancient legends.
The Underground Bounty Exchange possessed an ancient history, and rumors suggested it was originally established by Black Zetsu as a global intelligence-gathering network. Whether that rumor was historically true or not, the exchange in Tanzaku Quarters was situated right on Konoha's doorstep, making it a primary node for Black Zetsu's surveillance network.
Mayfly Technique (Kagerō)!
This specialized jutsu allowed a user to merge their physical body seamlessly with the earth and root systems, achieving near-instantaneous underground movement across organic networks. While active, all biological traces of life were completely severed, making detection almost impossible.
Thanks to this technique, White Zetsu clones lurked undetected across every major nation.
When the catastrophic kinetic impacts and high-density chakra fluctuations from Darian and Tsunade's battle tore through the forest, a nearby White Zetsu clone instantly detected the shockwaves. Merging with the underground root networks, the clone surfaced at the edge of the clearing.
Although the Mayfly Technique offered absolute stealth, the clone didn't dare get too close to two physical monsters. Under the pale moonlight, it could only vaguely observe the high-speed silhouettes of the two naked fighters colliding.
Having suffered minor physical setbacks in their initial exchanges, Darian wasn't angry in the slightest.
Back in the One Piece universe, the early foes in the East Blue were far too fragile, while the top-tier monsters of the New World were overwhelmingly powerful, often leaving him frustrated. Finally, in this new world, he had found a worthy physical opponent in Tsunade—someone who could trade heavy, bone-crunching blows with him. A dark, exhilarating smile spread across his face.
Darian was thrilled, but Tsunade was rapidly regretting ever crossing paths with this monster. Engaging in a naked brawl with a physical anomaly had brought her absolutely zero benefit.
Darian stretched his broad shoulders, stepping out of the shattered tree line with a loud, booming laugh. "What's the matter, old maid? Your punches are getting soft! Are you on your period or something? You were swinging with a lot more fire a minute ago!"
Faced with a violent, short-tempered woman like Tsunade, Darian completely lacked patience or civil manners.
Thick veins bulged violently across Tsunade's forehead. A flash of pure, murderous rage crossed her amber eyes as she felt her right arm, which was still trembling from internal bone fractures. She secretly funneled medical chakra into her arm, cursing herself for using so much raw force earlier.
"Huh? Are you done playing, hag? You're so damn slow! I'm just finishing my warmup!" Darian taunted.
As he spoke, he stepped forward, his massive, rock-hard manhood—stospiled with days of unspent physical vitality—standing proud and rigid, slapping against his abdomen with every step.
Darian had been holding back his sexual urges for days. Now, standing completely naked before Tsunade, his body was overflowing with raw, unspent energy.
Seeing Darian casually waving his massive, fully erect shaft around in the moonlight—such an explicitly lewd, offensive display—instantly detonated Tsunade's remaining composure.
"Die, you fucking scoundrel!"
Tsunade exploded forward, executing a lethal, low-aimed kick straight for his groin, her heel tearing through the air.
Darian's eyes widened in sudden alarm. Faced with the immediate threat of physical castration, his survival instincts kicked in. His body automatically drew upon the massive reserve of temporal kinetic energy stored within his cells from the Time Fog, forcibly unlocking Third Gear.
His physical density, speed, and reaction time underwent an absolute leap. Operating at peak acceleration, Darian easily dodged her lethal kick.
After quickly confirming his manhood was unharmed, Darian roared in pure fury, "What the fuck is wrong with you, you crazy bitch?!"
Tsunade didn't answer, following up with a point-blank, chakra-infused punch aimed directly at his face. "Go to hell, you filthy pervert!"
"Are you out of your goddamn mind?!"
Enraged, Darian swung his right fist to meet hers.
BOOM!
The two fists collided in mid-air. The resulting shockwave exploded outward, but it was the ground beneath their feet that suffered the absolute brunt of the force. The earth sank inward, exploding outward in a massive crater.
But this time, the exchange was no longer a close contest.
Having unlocked Third Gear, Darian experienced a monumental leap in raw speed and kinetic force. If Second Gear represented a tenfold physical multiplier, Third Gear amplified his baseline capabilities by at least thirty times.
"How is this... possible?!" Tsunade's eyes widened in absolute horror.
She felt an irresistible, overwhelming kinetic force burst from Darian's fist. Even though she had channeled every single drop of her available chakra into her arm, her body was completely overpowered. Her arm buckled, and she was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
RUMBLE!
Tsunade hurtled through the air, plowing through multiple dirt mounds and snapping several massive trees in half before crashing into the deep forest.
'Holy shit... one punch sent Tsunade flying like that?' Darian thought, marveling at his fist.
Reassessing his internal energy, Darian realized the nature of Third Gear. The surge in kinetic output came at a distinct cost—his physical strength was being released like a bursting dam, rapidly draining his stamina reserves.
Of course, this didn't mean he was completely invincible. High-tier fighters in this world could amplify their output through chakra bursts, similar to Haki in the One Piece universe.
Deep underground, the observing White Zetsu clone sensed the massive spike in kinetic and chakra output. Recognizing the scale of the battle, the clone used the Divine Tree's root network to instantly transmit a detailed message to Black Zetsu.
Farther in the forest, Tsunade, covered in dirt and grime, stood up from the debris.
"That goddamn bastard... how the hell can he hit that hard?!" Tsunade spat, wiping blood from her lip. She entirely ignored the fact that she had just tried to brutally castrate him a moment prior.
She flared her chakra, shaking the dirt and torn cloth from her skin. The bright moonlight illuminated her naked figure, casting a glow over her massive, un-corseted breasts and her smooth, pale skin.
Realizing that standard close-quarters combat was completely failing against Darian's rubbery, frictionless body, Tsunade decided to unleash her ultimate summoning jutsu.
Summoning Technique (Kuchiyose no Jutsu)!
Tsunade bit her thumb, drawing blood, and slammed her palm directly onto the dirt floor.
BANG!
A colossal cloud of dense white smoke billowed into the sky. When the smoke cleared, a massive, blue-and-white sea slug tens of meters long towered over the forest canopy.
"Lady Tsunade... what has happened here?" the gentle, serene voice of the Katsuyu Sage echoed through the trees.
"Katsuyu! Melt that perverted bastard into nothingness!" Tsunade yelled, pointing furiously at Darian.
Darian stepped out of the tree line, looking up at the towering, multi-story slug monster. "Holy shit... that's a massive fucking slug!"
"How incredibly rude," Katsuyu murmured, its long antennae twitching in mild irritation.
"My tongue and teeth feel sticky and acidic!"
Katsuyu opened its massive mouth, spewing a dense, pale-yellow liquid into the air. The highly corrosive stream cascaded down toward Darian like a torrential waterfall.
Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid (Zesshi Nenyeki)!
This corrosive acid was capable of instantly dissolving solid rock, iron, and organic flesh. It was one of the few offensive techniques Katsuyu possessed—an attack so lethal that even Orochimaru admitted it could permanently destroy his body.
Faced with the falling rain of acid, Darian felt a sudden, sharp spike of lethal danger flash in his brain—a latent premonition triggered by his awakening Observation Haki warning him of absolute destruction.
"Airquake!"
Darian pulled his right fist back, condensing a glowing, milky-white sphere of compressed spatial shockwave around his knuckles. He unleashed a devastating punch straight up into the air.
Tsunade watched with a mocking expression as Darian punched thin air, expecting him to be dissolved instantly. But in the next second, her jaw dropped in utter disbelief.
CRACK!
The very atmosphere above Darian's head shattered like a sheet of physical glass, white cracks spider-webbing across the sky.
BOOM!
A catastrophic spatial shockwave erupted, violently blasting the falling acid rain backward into the clouds. Under Darian's control, the spatial cracks ripped across the earth, driving a crushing kinetic shockwave straight toward Katsuyu's massive form.
"How is this possible?! What kind of jutsu is that?!" Tsunade gasped.
"Lady Tsunade, watch out!"
Katsuyu acted instantly, wrapping its soft, massive body around Tsunade to shield her from the incoming spatial destruction.
The shockwave swept across dozens of meters, felling massive trees and shattering the bedrock before slamming directly into Katsuyu's main body.
BANG!
Under the sheer, explosive force of the tremor, Katsuyu's main form was completely disintegrated, bursting into tens of thousands of tiny, squirming mini-slugs that rained down across the ruined forest.
