Multiverse Skill System

"Now, let's get down to business. Time reversal—this skill is truly famous!"

Just like its name suggests, the skill's inherent meaning is contained within it, and its effect is naturally to reverse time, which is probably even better than the so-called time freeze or time acceleration.

The past is irreversible. This was a theory that Yi Shuihan had heard countless times before he obtained the system, because once the past changes, the present and future will also undergo unknown changes, which can be described as affecting the whole body by moving one thread.

Past, present, and future—perhaps the future has the least impact because it is something that has not yet happened and is full of variables. Even if it is said to have been changed, it can also be said that it was just meant to change this way.

To put it in simpler terms, it's like a half-burned disk. Changing the present is like modifying some of the content, changing the future is like replacing what should have been burned, and changing the past is like starting all over again, perhaps even replacing the disk itself. The latter is fundamentally different from the former two.

Okay, having said all that, in fact, these things don't really have much to do with Yi Shuihan for now; his level is far from sufficient.

Even in more advanced worlds, such as the Dragon Ball world, Whis, who is even more powerful than the God of Destruction, can only restore everything within 3 minutes with his ability to reverse time, and that's not even for the entire universe. So, even if Yi Shuihan could use time reversal now, how much could he restore?

The answer to this question will be available immediately.

"System, are you sure I've already used the skill?"

Yi Shuihan looked bewildered. After confirming that the skill had been used, he lost control of his body for a split second, or more accurately, almost a second. And then, that was it.

Just as Yi Shuihan was fully focused on comprehending the mysteries of the laws of time, the world played a trick on him. If it weren't for the system notification that the skill had been used once, he might have foolishly kept waiting.

"Ding, in response to the host's question, the host has cast Time Reversal. After casting, time has been reversed by 1 second, within a radius of 100 meters. Please experience it for yourself."

"Oh, so that's how it is, what a load of rubbish!" Yi Shuihan was extremely frustrated. He knew that the success rate of comprehending the laws of time was not high, but he still had some expectations. He never expected it to turn out like this.

After venting his anger with a few curses, Yi Shuihan calmed himself down and revealed a defiant look in his eyes.

Yi Shuihan had no doubts about what the system said. The skill had definitely been released, but it only caused a one-second delay, and the range was only a small area of ​​a hundred meters in radius. Yi Shuihan felt that this was completely acceptable, after all, his strength was undeniable.

Furthermore, don't underestimate this one second and the surrounding hundred meters. With Yi Shuihan's current strength, one second is enough for him to complete dozens of attacks, and the hundred-meter range is more than enough.

If he could truly master this skill, not only would its duration and range increase as his strength grew, but even if its effect remained unchanged, it could still be used as Yi Shuihan's trump card for a very long time.

"Keep going, I refuse to believe I really can't feel anything."

Tempted by the ability to reverse time, Yi Shuihan unleashed a thousand percent of his passion, transforming himself into a cultivation fanatic.

However, whether or not one can learn a skill will not change because of Yi Shuihan's attitude, nor will it make him succeed simply because Yi Shuihan wants to.

Yi Shuihan continued to use his skills for nearly two hours, but still felt nothing. Well, the only feeling he had was extreme mental exhaustion!

"Did we really get nothing this time, and wasted three days of slumber?"

Yi Shuihan was very unwilling to end it like this, but he also knew that even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

"Oh well, I'll just treat this as a vacation and sleep for a few days!"

With his eyelids drooping, Yi Shuihan felt that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would fall into a deep sleep, and even if someone were to bang drums and gongs next to him, they wouldn't be able to wake him up.

And just as Yi Shuihan himself gave up, his eyes were slowly closing.

"Ding, the host has been detected to be in the optimal time for comprehending the laws. Perception and comprehension have been enhanced. The comprehension of the laws has officially begun."

Before Yi Shuihan could understand the meaning of the system's words, he felt his fatigue completely disappear and he was in a special state.

In this state, Yiyang's perception and comprehension are completely different from before. Not only can he clearly feel the various laws in the dark, but his understanding ability, that is, his comprehension, has also undergone earth-shattering changes. To put it another way, compared to before, when he would probably have to think for an hour about a difficult problem, now he can even figure it out with just a thought.

This state is even more powerful than the legendary unity of man and nature.

"What exactly is going on? This perception and understanding, is this really me? Right, didn't we say there was only one chance to comprehend a skill? Could it be that this 'one' refers to this current state, and the previous ones don't count, but were just consumed to get me into this state?"

Despite all the thoughts I've had, less than a fraction of a second has actually passed.

Chapter 457, The First Appearance of Hot Weapons

"Right, now is not the time to relax! We need to concentrate, and whether we can achieve anything depends on this."

With all thoughts gone, Yi Shuihan became aware of his every move and the changes in the world around him.

The skill, which had been tested thousands of times without any results, was revealed to Yi Shuihan in this seemingly heaven-defying state, allowing him to see a completely different world.

From the moment the skill was unleashed, Yi Shuihan witnessed a change. The surrounding space underwent a mysterious transformation, and time reversal, with everything from beginning to end, was clearly displayed before Yi Shuihan.

What excited Yi Shuihan even more was that he sensed it, sensed it—the most fundamental source that caused all these changes, a heaven-defying law that was more illusory than illusion itself, existing or simply not existing.

The law of time was something Yi Shuihan was absolutely certain of, yet dared not be certain of.

It's inexplicable, indescribable; once you understand, you understand.

In a moment of inexplicable insight, Yi Shuihan gained his initial understanding of time, and this understanding continues to deepen.

Just as Yi Shuihan was immersed in his own world, outside, his body was strangely suspended in mid-air, his whole body wrapped in a layer of colorful light, which was quite beautiful.

The ever-changing, multicolored rays of light, like flowing time, transcend the wonders of the human world and descend into reality.

No one knows what kind of changes are taking place in this world, in this secret room. A power that transcends taboos is being born; it may sprout, or it may simply disappear into some corner like a fleeting moment of beauty.

The answer will be officially revealed the next time Yi Shuihan opens his eyes.

"This time, we were besieged by the coalition of five major powers. Although we don't know if our purpose has been discovered, there is no doubt that our operations will become more difficult in the future. I'm afraid that as soon as we appear, we will be besieged by the five major powers."

In the Land of Rain, inside the tallest building, Nagato, Konan, Obito Uchiha, and Zetsu, whose body was half above the ground, all looked rather unwell.

"We don't need to worry about the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails for now. Let's get the other tailed beasts first, and then we can make our move on the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails."

When Obito Uchiha said this, he gave Nagato a very strange look.

In this situation, Obito Uchiha felt that he could not control the situation on his own. Only by reviving Madara Uchiha and working together could the plan truly succeed.

To revive Madara Uchiha, Nagato would have to sacrifice his life. He didn't think it would be an easy task, and he was certain that if he said it now, there would be absolutely no chance of success.

"The five great powers are too strong. If they join forces, we cannot fight them. Especially with the Myriad Worlds Hot Spring Resort, their strength will continue to increase. We can't delay any longer."

Konan said coldly. Despite her icy appearance, she didn't care about the so-called dream plan. The reason she was here and became a member of Akatsuki was more out of friendship with Nagato.

"I do have a suggestion!"

Bai Jue raised his hand like a child.

"tell me the story."

"We can rely on the power of those martial artists. Haven't they been having a tense relationship with the ninjas lately?"

"Martial artists? Indeed, their power is not to be underestimated now. If we can really provoke a great war between martial artists and ninjas, we will have a chance to obtain all the tailed beasts."

"So how exactly do we do it?"

"We can transform into ninjas from the five great nations to kill those warriors, and also issue bounties in the underground exchange. As long as you kill a ninja, you can get a certain amount of money. In this way, some warriors will inevitably be unable to resist taking action. And when the conflict between the two sides further escalates, it will be time for us to take action."

The group began discussing how to escalate the conflict between martial artists and ninjas, and a massive conspiracy slowly took shape.

"Has the Akatsuki organization still not found their hiding place? They killed so many of us and still managed to escape unscathed. It's a disgrace."

In a special conference room in Konoha, the Kage of the five great nations sat around an oval conference table. The Raikage slammed his fist on the table, smashing a large hole in it.

"Lord Raikage, please calm down. It's only been two days. It's impossible to find them so quickly."

Minato Namikaze frowned slightly as he looked at the large hole in the table, but then a warm, sun-like smile appeared on his face, making him seem very approachable.

"Hmph, two days, two days have already passed. We are a coalition of five major powers, and we haven't heard a single word from them in two days."

Raikage's expression was somewhat irritable. He was about to slam his fist on the table again, but when he raised his hand, he noticed that the spot he had already hit was there. So he put his hand down again and stomped his foot instead. Fortunately, the ground was hard enough that it was not damaged.

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a knock on the door,

"Come in."

"Have you found Akatsuki's hiding place?"

Before Minato Namikaze could ask any questions, the Raikage spoke first, surprising the Anbu members who had entered.

"No, it's something else."

"Oh, Sichuan and Chongqing, what's going on? You seem to be in a hurry!"

Minato Namikaze knew his subordinates well and knew that unless there were special circumstances, they wouldn't come looking for him at this time.

Could it be something to do with martial artists? This thought crossed Minato Namikaze's mind.

"It's...it's Orochimaru."

When Fengtai Chuanyu mentioned the name Orochimaru, his expression showed considerable hesitation.

"Orochimaru, him?"

Upon hearing this name, Minato Namikaze suddenly had a premonition that things might be very tricky.

"What's wrong with him? Is he planning to attack Konoha? No, he shouldn't be that stupid."

"Orochimaru provided the underworld with a batch of things, to be precise, weapons. Weapons like these have never been seen before. Even ordinary people can use them. With those weapons, many ninjas have died, and they died at the hands of people weaker than them. Many of our Konoha ninjas have also died at the hands of those terrifying weapons."

"Those weapons are terrifying. Even a Jonin could die from them if caught off guard. And yet, these powerful weapons are usable by ordinary people. We obtained a sample, and our conclusion is that if these weapons are allowed to circulate in large numbers, ordinary people who are neither ninjas nor martial artists might gain the power to contend with ninjas. At that time..."

Chapter 458, Searching for Orochimaru

Fengtai Chuanyu's voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the conference room could hear it clearly.

At first, people didn't think much of it. After all, even if a powerful weapon appeared that could give ordinary people the ability to kill ninjas, it would only be a flash in the pan and wouldn't last long.

When Fengtai Chuanyu mentioned the large-scale outflow of weapons, everyone's expression turned serious. The large-scale outflow already indicated that these weapons were not difficult to manufacture and could be widely distributed.

If what Fengtai Chuanyu said is true, that even an ordinary person with a weapon could kill a Jonin, then when the number of people with weapons increases, or even when most people possess them, the ninja's advantage in strength will be reduced to the minimum.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could imagine what would happen at that time; the very structure of the ninja world might be disrupted once again, which would undoubtedly be a huge shock to ninjas.

In fact, this matter is more important than the gradual strengthening of martial artists. After all, both martial artists and ninjas need a process to become strong. When this process is no longer needed, a good weapon can kill a Jonin. At that time, will anyone still be willing to spend a lot of time learning ninjutsu and martial arts?

The importance of ninjutsu and traditional Chinese martial arts will decrease in this world, and their status will be impacted.

"If it were just these weapons, it would be fine. But if even more powerful weapons appeared, allowing ordinary people to threaten Kage-level experts, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The Third Tsuchikage's expression was grave; his experience told him at a glance how troublesome the situation was.

"Could you show us the samples you obtained?"

The Fifth Mizukage, our beautiful Mei Terumi, has made a request.

The typhoon-stricken Sichuan and Chongqing forces turned their attention to Minato Namikaze, awaiting his orders.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Minato Namikaze immediately made a decision: "If you gentlemen don't mind the trouble, please come with me to see just how powerful this weapon is."

The other Kage nodded in agreement. At this moment, even the Raikage realized the seriousness of the situation and became much calmer.

The group arrived at Exercise Field No. 12.

"Lord Hokage, this is the weapon we obtained."

Fengtai Chuanyu took out a pistol, well, its design is basically the same as the Desert Eagle.

Under the curious gazes of the other shadows, Minato Namikaze took the pistol.

Although it was the first time he had ever held a gun, Minato Namikaze felt a strange surge of excitement. He instinctively gripped the gun and placed his finger on the trigger.

"As expected of the Hokage, he figured out how to use it so quickly."

Fengtai Chuanyu looked at Minato Namikaze with admiration, feeling that this was exactly what the Hokage should be like.

With the gun pointed at the target not far away where people were practicing kunai to the point of exhaustion, Minato Namikaze pulled the trigger.

"boom"

A sound similar to a hand cannon rang out, and then nearly half of the target was blasted away, and the wooden stakes behind it were also completely destroyed.

"hiss"

Everyone gasped, utterly terrified by the consequences of that single shot.

Everyone present was at least a Jonin, and anyone could use a ninjutsu with greater power than this shot, but they were fundamentally different.

Judging by ninjutsu standards, this shot's power would be at most a B-rank, but its speed is too fast. A Chunin would definitely not be able to withstand it, and only a Jonin with preparation could dodge it.

But what if you dodge it? This gun can fire in rapid succession and doesn't require chakra, so even ordinary people can use it.

In this era, a genin can easily kill dozens of ordinary people, and a chunin can kill hundreds without a problem. However, if they were to face an ordinary person wielding this gun, one can imagine what the consequences would be.

"If an army wielding this weapon were to wage war against us ninjas, which side would ultimately prevail?"

Without a doubt, everyone present could answer this question. Without a Kage-level leader, Jonin alone would have no chance of winning. The only way to win would be through assassination; a direct confrontation would be very difficult.

The conclusion is that at the highest level, ninjas are still stronger in terms of strength. However, we should not forget the number of ninjas and the number of people who can use this weapon.

Considering the disparity in numbers, the victors are ultimately ordinary people. With these weapons, they can easily overwhelm the ninjas by sheer numbers, or even wipe them out of this era.

"Master Orochimaru, he really has... researched something incredible!"

Minato Namikaze muttered to himself, looking at the gun in his hand with a rather complicated expression.
