Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 328: Azure Dragon vs White Snake

Boom.

Another puff of white smoke, and Chinchilla’s figure hurriedly flashed into view.

"Meow! It’s terrible! Boss Sora."

Chinchilla’s tone was urgent, lacking its usual money-grubbing lilt.

"Ascension Island. Ascension Island is under attack. It’s Ryuchi Cave. That big white snake is leading countless snakes here. Tagitsuhime, Shanjun, and that monkey are barely holding on."

"Boss Nonō told me to notify you immediately."

Sora’s eyes sharpened instantly.

Ryuchi Cave. The White Snake Sage.

He had expected Ryuchi Cave would not let things rest, but he hadn’t anticipated the White Snake Sage would personally lead a full-scale assault.

It seemed something had happened that he wasn’t aware of.

Ascension Island was his headquarters. His original body was still sleeping there, and Nonō, Kurenai, and the others were also on the island.

Moreover, all his current research materials and assets were there.

It absolutely could not be lost.

"Details." Sora’s voice was icy.

Chinchilla quickly explained the situation.

"... Now that big white snake seems to have broken through several layers of seals and is almost reaching the underground laboratory. Meow."

After listening, Sora glanced towards the cave and gave orders to Kuro Maru and Chinchilla.

"You two guard this place. Watch over Uchiha Kenta inside. If he asks, say I am resting and not to be disturbed."

"Understood, meow." The two ninja cats responded in unison.

Sora walked into another patch of shadow beside the cave, sat down cross-legged, pretending to close his eyes and rest, while in reality his soul had already departed.

...

The feeling of soul separation was strange, as if all restraints had been cast off.

Sora’s soul transformed into an invisible streak of light, streaking towards Ascension Island at a speed beyond ordinary comprehension.

For an ordinary ninja traveling from the Land of Water to the sea where Ascension Island was located, even traveling day and night would take at least five or six days.

Even Sora’s original body traveling at full speed, relying on Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Wind Release acceleration, would require most of a day.

But in this pure soul state, Sora returned to Ascension Island in just a few minutes.

At this moment.

Above Ascension Island, demonic clouds blotted the sky, serpents writhed, and an icy, overwhelmingly powerful aura enveloped the entire island.

The several layers of seals Sora had meticulously set up had also been forcibly torn apart.

The White Snake Sage, her massive form covered in white scales, coiled atop the demonic clouds.

She raised her enormous serpent tail and smashed it down heavily towards the final defensive seal at the entrance to the underground laboratory.

Nonō, Yūhi Kurenai, and the others, their faces pale, stood firm before the entrance.

"Hmph, insignificant insects dare block my path."

The White Snake Sage’s voice was cold.

The serpent tail, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, descended with a crash.

At that moment.

Whoosh.

That invisible soul-light streak arrived in an instant, plunged into the underground laboratory, and merged into the original body lying within the life-support apparatus.

Hum.

The nutrient fluid in the apparatus rippled slightly.

The next moment, Sora’s eyes snapped open.

Boom.

A vast, majestic, terrifying aura, as if from ancient primordial times, suddenly erupted, shooting up from the depths of the underground laboratory.

The shockwave formed by the aura directly dispersed the phantom of the serpent tail about to fall at the entrance, forcing even the White Snake Sage to lean back slightly from the sudden, overwhelming pressure.

"What."

The White Snake Sage’s serpent pupils contracted sharply, fixed tightly on the entrance to the underground laboratory.

Nonō, Yūhi Kurenai, and the others, sensing this familiar, reassuring aura, revealed looks of joy and relief on their faces.

"Sora."

"Brother Sora."

Under everyone’s gaze, Sora’s original body slowly stepped out, step by step, from the underground laboratory.

He moved his slightly stiff neck, his gaze calmly sweeping over the ravaged island. Seeing the severely injured Tenji, Shanjun, and Tagitsuhime, his eyes finally settled on the colossal white serpent in the sky.

"White Snake Sage."

Sora spoke softly. "Who gave you the gall to touch my territory."

Before his words faded, Sora’s body rapidly transformed.

Rumble.

Azure dragon scales instantly covered his entire body. His form, under the shocked gazes of all present, began to expand and deform at a speed that defied common sense.

Ten meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters, five hundred meters.

In the blink of an eye, a being over a thousand meters in length, wreathed in wind, thunder, clouds, and mist, radiating endless majesty and overwhelming presence.

An Eastern Divine Dragon, spanned the heavens and the earth.

A thousand-meter Azure Dragon true form.

Its colossal size obscured most of the sky above Ascension Island.

The previously hissing serpent horde fell utterly silent before this pure, vast, supreme draconic majesty.

All serpents, regardless of size or strength, instinctively curled their bodies, trembling, not even daring to raise their heads.

It was an absolute suppression from a higher level of existence.

The White Snake Sage’s massive serpent pupils contracted, a storm of shock raging within her.

’True. A true dragon.’

’How is this possible. How can such a pure-blooded true dragon still exist in this world.’

For a thousand years she had cultivated, pursuing the path of dragon transformation, believing herself the pinnacle of serpent kind, just one step away from true dragonhood.

But only now, witnessing this sky-obscuring Azure Dragon form with her own eyes, feeling the pure draconic majesty that made her very soul tremble, did she truly understand.

What an insurmountable chasm lay between her and a true "dragon".

Tagitsuhime’s meager flood-dragon lineage was like a firefly before the moon compared to this being.

Greed, fear, awe, disbelief.

A mix of emotions flooded her heart.

But Sora paid no mind to what the White Snake Sage was thinking.

He would fight first and talk later.

"Roar."

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens.

The enormous Azure Dragon form moved. Its claw, entwined with lightning and gales, swept down towards the White Snake Sage in mid-air.

Even before the claw arrived, the terrifying pressure and gusting wind caused the demonic clouds around the White Snake Sage to churn violently, nearly scattering.

’So fast.’

The White Snake Sage was horrified. Her massive serpent body twisted bizarrely, attempting to evade the claw.

However, under the pure draconic majesty of the Azure Dragon, her speed, reactions, even the flow of her Sage Art chakra, all became much slower.

Rip.

A sharp pain shot through her, filling the White Snake Sage with both shock and fury.

"Sage Art. White Rage Technique."

She opened her maw and spewed a dragon-shaped energy mass containing high-frequency vibrations and intense light, aiming to attack Sora.

But the Azure Dragon that Sora had transformed into did not dodge. The Sage Art, enough to incapacitate an ordinary Kage-level fighter, had minimal effect on him.

"What." The White Snake Sage was dumbfounded.

"Had enough fun."

Sora’s icy voice rang out like thunder. "My turn now."

The Azure Dragon opened its massive maw and exhaled violently.

"Boro Breath."
