Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 353: The Dragon’s Might Shakes the Sea
Sora glanced at the surging sea beneath his feet, his decision already made in his heart.
"Third Raikage, you are a true warrior, a hero who has given everything for your village."
"Against an opponent like you, using anything less than my full power would be an insult."
The Third Raikage was stunned for a moment, then erupted in rage.
"Stop talking crap over there! If you've got any skill, just use it!"
Killer B and Yugito also closed in again, the pressure from their Tailed Beast chakra immense.
Sora said no more; he spread his arms wide, facing the ocean.
"Let this endless sea be your final send-off."
The next moment, the power of the Mythical Zoan: Azure Dragon Fruit within him was fully unleashed!
"Azure Dragon Fruit: Complete Beast Form!"
Boom——!!!
An indescribably majestic aura shot up towards the heavens!
Before the horrified gazes of everyone present, Sora's body rapidly expanded and transformed!
In an instant, a massive azure dragon, over a thousand meters in length, coiled itself upon the surface of the sea!
Its colossal size and terrifying draconic might caused every Kumogakure ninja present, including the two Jinchūriki, to tremble from the very depths of their souls!
"Comp... completely transformed..." Yugito looked up at the enormous dragon body, her voice hoarse.
"Bee! Be careful! This guy's true form... is a real dragon!" Gyūki, the Eight-Tails, issued a grave warning from within Killer B's body.
"Th-this... is this his true appearance?"
The Third Raikage's pupils contracted sharply as he felt a pressure he had never experienced before, but hot on its heels was a fighting spirit that had been thoroughly ignited!
"Whether you're a dragon or something else, I'll tear you apart!"
"Raikage-sama! We can't let him stay on the sea!"
An ANBU, watching the mist and lightning surging around the azure dragon, quickly said, "His abilities might be related to water! Force him onto the shore!"
The Third Raikage understood instantly.
"Bee! Yugito! Use Tailed Beast Bombs to drive him over here!"
"Got it! Yo~!"
"Leave it to me!"
Killer B and Yugito simultaneously erupted with Tailed Beast chakra, two highly condensed, pitch-black Tailed Beast Bombs rapidly taking shape in their mouths!
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Two terrifying orbs of energy, capable of altering the landscape, hurtled from left and right towards the azure dragon on the sea!
Watching the two Tailed Beast Bombs speeding towards him, a trace of gravity flickered in the draconic pupils of Sora, who was in his complete beast form.
'Tailed Beast Bombs, huh... they really are troublesome. Taking them head-on is possible, but it consumes too much stamina.'
As his thoughts raced, Sora's enormous body suddenly lunged forward, while simultaneously opening his massive maw.
"Boro Breath: Barrage!"
Boom! Boom!
Two dark azure beams, far thicker than the ones that had taken out Danzo, shot forth, each meeting one of the Tailed Beast Bombs head-on!
Rumble——!!!
A deafening explosion tore through the skies.
The sea surface was forcibly compressed, creating a massive depression, which then instantly gave rise to a terrifying tsunami dozens of meters high, surging out in all directions.
"Not good! Defend!"
The Kumogakure ANBU's expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly employed ninjutsu to block the assault.
Right in the midst of this chaos, the thousand-meter-long azure dragon, with an agility defying its immense size, its body wreathed in raging winds and lightning, flashed through the explosion zone and bore down upon the cliff where the Kumogakure shinobi were gathered!
"Watch out! He's coming!" Yugito Nii exclaimed.
"No time to dodge! Bee!"
The Third Raikage roared, pushing his lightning chakra mode to its absolute limit, muscles bulging as he prepared to meet the dragon's pounce head-on!
"Yo~! Got it, you bastard, you jerk~!"
Killer B instantly underwent complete tailed beast transformation, a massive octopus-like Gyūki rising up, its countless tentacles reaching for the azure dragon.
Yugito also entered her tailed beast state, transforming into a cat demon wreathed in blue flames, her claws tearing towards the dragon.
Boom——!!!
Sora's draconic claws clashed fiercely with the Eight-Tails' tentacles and the Two-Tails' claws!
The sheer force of the collision caused a shockwave that blasted a large section of the cliff edge into rubble, sending several ANBU who couldn't dodge in time tumbling into the sea.
"Roar——!"
After the collision, Sora let out a bellow as his thick tail swept around in another attack!
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Thrust!"
The diminutive Third Raikage, working in perfect sync with the fully transformed Killer B, simultaneously unleashed this signature Kumogakure technique, transforming into two arcs of lightning from left and right, crashing violently against the sweeping dragon tail!
Thud!!!
The momentum of the tail sweep was forcibly halted, but the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails were also sent flying backwards by the tremendous force, with the Eight-Tails losing several of its tentacles in the process.
"Now's my chance!"
Yugito Nii, seizing the opportunity, aimed her blue-flame-wreathed claws at the vulnerable spot beneath the azure dragon's neck—its reverse scale!
However, Sora merely cast a cold glare in her direction.
In an instant, a layer of dark crimson luster covered the azure scales on his draconic body, with faint fiery patterns flowing across them!
"Blazing Dragon Dais!"
Sss——!
Yugito's claws scraped against the dragon scales, the blue and dark crimson flames corroding each other with a hissing sound, but they utterly failed to penetrate the defense!
"What?!" Yugito was astounded.
"Thunder Cage!"
Sora gave her no time to react; lightning exploded from his draconic pupils as countless thick arcs of purple lightning erupted from his body!
At such close range, Yugito had no chance to evade!
"Meow——!!"
Yugito let out a feline yelp as she was overwhelmed by the countless thunderbolts, her massive body instantly torn and scorched, the blue flames blasted in all directions as she fell from the sky, screaming in agony.
"Yugito!" The Third Raikage's eyes burned with fury.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Sora's assault didn't cease. With a wave of his draconic claw, he stirred the surging sea below, condensing it into several colossal water dragons that surged towards the Eight-Tails and the Third Raikage, who had just managed to steady themselves!
These Water Dragon Bullets, empowered by the Azure Dragon Fruit, far surpassed the scale of those used by ordinary shinobi!
"Bee! Barrage of Tailed Beast Bombs!"
The Third Raikage bellowed, using Lightning Release to shatter the water dragons while issuing the command.
Gyūki opened its massive maw, firing small Tailed Beast Bombs like a machine gun, blasting the water dragons into torrents of rain.
The battlefield had descended into utter chaos.
Fighting one against three, Sora leveraged the terrifying defensive power, regenerative abilities, and weather-controlling might of his complete beast form to battle two perfect Jinchūriki and a Kage-level pinnacle warrior to a standstill, locked in a fierce, back-and-forth struggle.
As for the remaining ANBU, they were utterly unable to intervene in this situation, as useless as a eunuch husband.
The dark crimson flames encircling the draconic body formed an absolute defense, countless lightning bolts posed a constant threat from above, and the towering waves became Sora's limitless arsenal, allowing him to unleash various oversized Water Release techniques with ease.
However, the coordination between the Third Raikage and the two Jinchūriki was also extremely effective, seamlessly blending offense and defense.
Especially the Third Raikage's Hell Stab and his Lightning Release Chakra Mode; their offensive power was highly concentrated, occasionally managing to breach the dragon scale defense and leave wounds of moderate depth.
Although Sora's regenerative abilities healed them instantly, it still proved the threat they posed.
