Chapter 315: Spinning Creation, Azure Dragon!
The last day of the first year of the Grand Yuan era.
A desolate island overseas.
Beneath the Sage Tree.
The strongest figures of the current Ninja World had gathered here.
Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi, Might Guy, Uchiha Shisui, and many other strong members of the Uchiha Clan, elite Jonin like Hyuga Neji from the Hyuga Clan...
As well as Onoki, the Fourth Raikage A, the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, Gaara, Kurotsuchi, Kitsuchi, Temari...
Orochimaru, Ōtsutsuki Toneri, Mifune the Great General, Nagato, Konan, and some ninjas from the South Sage Continent...
And numerous Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts.
Of course, Tsunade, Yūhi Kurenai, Shizune, they had even brought their children to witness their fathers' great moment.
Naturally, only Nawaki was sensible enough at this time.
Sarutobi Mirai was only two years old.
Sarutobi Ene was even younger, still babbling.
...
"Do you think he will succeed?"
The Fourth Raikage A asked.
Onoki looked at Sarutobi Asuma in front of them and said, "The Sage of Six Paths could create the Tailed Beasts, and now he has surpassed the Sage of Six Paths."
Gaara said directly, "I believe Lord Asuma can definitely do it!"
Mei Terumi nodded, looking at Sarutobi Asuma's back, and smiled, "If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't have asked us to come."
"It's a shame that such a man..."
Onoki said, "If you make a move now, you still have time."
Gaara nodded, "When it comes to love, one should be bold."
As he spoke, he looked to the other side, where his own elder sister was aggressively pursuing Nara Shikamaru of Konoha.
...
"Asuma, how did you raise such a son?"
Senju Hashirama asked with a laugh.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless.
I didn't even have time to teach him!
Moreover, sometimes he even doubted if this was truly his son.
Senju Tobirama said, "Brother, talents like Asuma cannot be taught."
"However, Monkey is indeed very suitable for teaching disciples; that Orochimaru is also very good."
"And Jiraiya, if he didn't focus so much on fate, his achievements might have been even greater."
Jiraiya, standing nearby, felt wronged. "Second Hokage, in Konoha, and even in the entire Ninja World, there aren't many who can surpass me."
Senju Tobirama shook his head, "Fate needs to be created by oneself!"
Jiraiya fell silent.
Because what Senju Tobirama said seemed to be correct.
When one's power reaches a certain level, changing fate seemed like a natural occurrence.
Much like Sarutobi Asuma!
However, he soon felt at ease and smiled, "Perhaps searching for fate is also a way of creating it!"
...
"Sasuke, what kind of... Tailed Beast do you think Uncle Asuma is going to create?"
"Like Kurama?"
Naruto asked.
Uchiha Sasuke said indifferently, "With Lord Asuma's strength, he won't create something like Kurama."
Kurama, inside Naruto's stomach, heard this and was furious. "Naruto, beat him up!"
"I am the most powerful among the Nine Tailed Beasts!"
The One-Tail Shukaku immediately chimed in, "You smelly fox, stop bragging!"
The Eight-Tails said, "It's indeed impossible to create beings like us. Perhaps it might even be the Ten-Tails."
"That Sage Tree looks a lot like the God Tree, and there's a new Ten-Tails."
The Two-Tails said, "If that's the case, he has completely surpassed the old man of Six Paths!"
The Seven-Tails said, "While it sounds bad to say, I must admit, he has indeed surpassed the Old Man of Six Paths."
...
"Kakashi, Rin, congratulations!"
"Have you decided on a name for the child?"
Uchiha Obito, who had just returned from the South Sage Continent, said with a smile.
Rin replied with a smile, "Kakashi has been too busy; we haven't decided on the child's name yet!"
"This guy is going too far!"
Uchiha Obito chided Kakashi, then stroked his chin and said, "In that case, leave the naming to me... By the way, is it a boy or a girl?"
Kakashi said, "Asuma said it's a boy. As for the name... I'll leave it to you then!"
Rin also nodded with a smile.
Uchiha Obito immediately grinned, "Yosh, don't worry, I'll definitely give it a great name."
At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma was also ready.
The juvenile Ten-Tails.
The sealed power of the Dragon Vein.
And the Sage Tree before them.
After completely clarifying his thoughts, under everyone's gaze, Sarutobi Asuma first unsealed the power of the Dragon Vein, allowing the Sage Tree to absorb it.
Then, he flashed and appeared on the tree canopy, sitting cross-legged. The vast Sage Power within his body continuously flowed into the Sage Tree.
"This is a different Chakra Nature Transformation!"
Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama quickly realized that Sarutobi Asuma wasn't simply injecting Chakra into the Sage Tree.
"Ice Release!"
White, who had come from the South Sage Continent to witness the event, sensed a power similar to his own.
Immediately after, Guren, not far away, sensed the power of Crystal Style.
Then Magnet Release, Storm Style, Dust Release, Lava Style, Lava Style...
The various Kekkei Genkai powers left everyone present, except for Tsunade and the other two who understood Sarutobi Asuma, stunned.
It was as if all the Kekkei Genkai powers currently in the Ninja World had been gathered.
No!
There were many that they didn't even know about.
Ion Release!
Nuclear Release!
...
Sarutobi Asuma injected information about various Kekkei Genkai powers into the Sage Tree using his Chakra.
As the power continuously flowed in, the Sage Tree beneath him did not swell but instead began to shrink bit by bit.
Soon.
After Sarutobi Asuma injected all the Kekkei Genkai powers he possessed, including the Rinne Sharingan, Tenseigan, All-Killing Ash Bones, and other Kekkei Mōra genes into the Sage Tree, the Sage Tree began to retract its roots.
For a moment, the entire island trembled.
Soon.
Everyone stared at the sphere of pure white light that the Sage Tree had shrunk into.
At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma hovered in mid-air, the Golden Rinne Sharingan on his brow opened, and his eyes transformed into the Tenseigan.
Immediately afterward, the light sphere formed by the Sage Tree flew over.
Sarutobi Asuma clasped his hands together, catching the incoming light sphere.
"Sage Art - Yin-Yang Release - Spinning Creation!"
Sarutobi Asuma spoke, his voice reaching everyone's ears.
The next moment, a dazzling light erupted, causing Senju Hashirama and others to instinctively close their eyes.
Even Neji and the others couldn't look directly at it at this time.
However, the intense, dazzling light burst forth and quickly subsided.
In just three seconds, the light faded, and everyone looked up at the sky.
They saw that Sarutobi Asuma had retracted his hands, and before him, a greenish-blue sphere of light was floating. Within the sphere, there seemed to be something.
Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Hiashi, who possessed the Byakugan, and Ōtsutsuki Toneri were the first to clearly see what was inside the sphere of light.
"A dragon?"
Neji asked hesitantly.
"An azure dragon."
Hyuga Hinata asked, "Lord Asuma, did you create a legendary divine dragon?"
Senju Hashirama looked somewhat puzzled. "A Wood Release dragon?"
Just then, a cracking sound echoed.
The light sphere before Sarutobi Asuma split open, and with a final bang, it completely shattered, revealing a small creature.
Sarutobi Asuma looked down at it.
Its head was like a camel's, its horns like a deer's, its eyes like a rabbit's, its ears like an ox's, its neck like a snake's, its belly like a shēn, its scales like a carp's, its claws like an eagle's, its palms like a tiger's, with whiskers by its mouth, a bright pearl under its jaw, and inverted scales beneath its throat.
That's right, a divine dragon!
An azure divine dragon!
It was small for now, only about three feet long, emitting a young dragon's roar as it circled Sarutobi Asuma. It finally came to rest coiled on his hand, making soft, childish noises and nuzzling him.
Sarutobi Asuma extended a finger to tease it, then couldn't help but laugh, feeling as though he had gained a child.
Tsunade and the others below exchanged bewildered glances. That's it?
"Oh my..."
Sarutobi Ene, held by Shizune, reached out towards Sarutobi Asuma in the air, calling out.
Senju Hashirama couldn't help but shout, "Asuma, you've finished?"
"Of course!"
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled lightly, then stood up and descended from the air.
Everyone immediately crowded around, three layers deep, outer layers forming, all staring intently at the azure dragon coiled on Sarutobi Asuma's hand.
The azure dragon, seeing so many people looking at it, couldn't help but let out a fierce, yet childish roar.
"So cute!"
Haruno Sakura exclaimed, clutching her heart.
Hyuga Hinata and Ino nodded in unison.
Naruto looked at the azure dragon, then compared it to the Nine-Tails inside him. This seemed vastly inferior.
"Uncle Asuma, this is what you created?"
"This little thing... seems way worse than the Nine-Tails, doesn't it?"
Naruto couldn't help but ask.
However, the azure dragon seemed to understand that Naruto was looking down on it. After letting out a roar, it immediately detached from Sarutobi Asuma's hand, baring its teeth and claws. Clouds of mist formed as it soared into the sky.
"What astonishing Water Style!"
Mei Terumi exclaimed.
Senju Tobirama, however, said, "It's not Water Style, but Water Style and Wind Style."
At this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
Accompanied by a childish yet high-pitched dragon roar, the azure dragon, which was only about a foot long, rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, it grew to over three hundred meters long, exuding an imposing presence.
The azure dragon lowered its head, its dragon eyes staring at Naruto from incredibly close range.
Naruto was startled for a moment and couldn't help but swallow hard. "So powerful!"
At this moment, the azure dragon sneezed, and sparks of electricity erupted. Naruto's hair immediately stood on end, and his entire body began to smoke.
Everyone froze, then burst into laughter, even Uzumaki Kushina.
Naruto stared blankly for a moment, then immediately yelled, "Damn it... I... I'm going to fight you!"
The azure dragon looked at Naruto, its dragon eyes filled with amusement.
Naruto immediately activated Nine-Tails Mode.
Namikaze Minato shouted, "Naruto!"
Sarutobi Asuma quickly laughed, "Brother Minato, let them go. It's a good chance to see the Azure Dragon's power!"
So everyone parted, making space.
Orochimaru's gaze remained fixed on the azure dragon, filled with intense heat.
The azure dragon also sensed it and looked over.
This guy seems to have ill intentions!
The azure dragon's senses were exceptionally acute. From hundreds of meters away, it unleashed a breath towards Orochimaru. A stream of air shot from the dragon's mouth, but it vanished before everyone's eyes.
Crack!
Hearing the sound, everyone immediately turned to look. They saw that Orochimaru had been frozen solid.
"Space-Time Ninjutsu!"
Uchiha Sasuke exclaimed, "I didn't sense it at all!"
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly astonishing!"
Naruto, however, was quite indignant. He planted his hands on his hips and pointed at the Azure Dragon, shouting, "Hey, I'm your opponent now!"
The Azure Dragon turned its head to look at Naruto, who was topped with the massive Nine-Tails, then swatted down with a claw.
"Good to go, Kurama, let's do this!" Naruto yelled.
"This guy's underestimating us too much!"
Kurama was also full of fighting spirit. Its nine tails immediately shot towards the descending dragon claw.
However, the dragon claw, which looked light and casual, possessed unparalleled power. The nine tails were directly caught by the dragon claw, and then Naruto and his Nine-Tails Cloak were lifted by the Azure Dragon.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under a multitude of stunned gazes, the Azure Dragon grabbed the Nine-Tails, swung him around, and repeatedly slammed him into the ground.
"He's... he's too strong!"
Tenten gulped, watching.
But she wasn't the only one gulping.
At this moment, the ice around Orochimaru's body cracked and collapsed. "What astonishing strength!"
The wood spikes that had grown from Orochimaru's body retracted and disappeared. He didn't mind being toyed with at all, his gaze towards the Azure Dragon becoming even more fervent.
He had once been obsessed with researching Tailed Beast Chakra. For instance, to obtain an Eight-Tails sample, he had killed the previous Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails.
At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma chuckled, "Sasuke, why don't you go give it a try too."
"Azure Dragon, play around with them."
The Azure Dragon nodded, then tossed Naruto aside and turned its attention to Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke activated his Rinnegan and Mangekyo, immediately unleashing the ocular jutsu Amaterasu. The claw the Azure Dragon had used to swing Naruto around was instantly engulfed in black flames.
However, the Azure Dragon raised its claw and looked at it with confusion, as if to say, Is that all?
Then, under the shocked gazes of Uchiha Shisui and others, the Azure Dragon opened its mouth and inhaled, directly consuming the black flames.
"It even ate the flames of Amaterasu!" Uchiha Itachi couldn't hide his shock.
Uchiha Shisui said, "It must be a similar ability to the Rinnegan's absorption ninjutsu. The Azure Dragon came from the Sage Tree."
Uchiha Itachi nodded upon hearing this, but felt it was different from the Rinnegan's ocular jutsu.
Seeing that the Amaterasu flames were useless, Uchiha Sasuke inwardly thought, As expected, and then summoned his Perfect Susanoo.
However, before he could even attack, the Azure Dragon spat out a beam of lightning, which struck with a boom. Under the shocked gazes of many from the Uchiha Clan, it blasted apart Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo.
"This level of Lightning Style is terrifying!" Killer B exclaimed.
At this moment, Senju Hashirama said, "Asuma, you don't mind if I give it a try, do you?"
Sarutobi Asuma smiled, "Of course!"
Senju Hashirama immediately put his hands together: Sage Art: Wood Style: Top Buddha Transformation: True Several Thousand Hands!
"Naruto, Sasuke!" Senju Hashirama shouted.
Sasuke immediately landed beside Senju Hashirama, and Naruto also leaped up from the ground, coming to Senju Hashirama's side.
"Naruto, your Nine-Tails Chakra greatly amplifies Wood Style."
Senju Hashirama said.
"Understood!" Naruto nodded and said to Kurama, "Kurama, we can't lose this time!"
The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode was activated again, but it enveloped the Great Buddha, causing it to swell once more.
Immediately after, Uchiha Sasuke also made his move, adding Susanoo armor to the Great Buddha.
At this moment, even the Azure Dragon seemed rather slender in front of the Susanoo-clad Great Buddha.
Then.
Under the gaze of many, the Thousand Hands of the Buddha struck towards the Azure Dragon.
However, the Azure Dragon rapidly shrunk its body, evading the Buddha's hand strikes. It moved swiftly between the massive Buddha's arms like a small earthworm, and in an instant, it reached the body of the Great Buddha.
Crack!
With a sharp grip, the claws pierced directly through the Susanoo armor.
Immediately after, with a boom, the giant Buddha vanished without a trace before everyone's eyes.
"It's the power of Dust Release!"
Onoki said in a low voice.
Nara Shikamaru remarked, "This guy is harder to deal with than the Ten-Tails."
Meanwhile, Uchiha Obito, standing with Kakashi, said, "Perhaps only Space-Time Ninjutsu will be effective!"
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled upon hearing this, "Obito, you can give it a try!"
"Then I won't hold back!"
After speaking, Uchiha Obito immediately activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, then fired a Kamui Shuriken at the Azure Dragon, which had recovered its form.
However, the situation he had anticipated, where the Azure Dragon would evade by shrinking its body, did not occur.
Instead, it directly opened spatial portals one after another.
Simultaneously, the Kamui Shuriken rapidly shrank and simply vanished into the spatial portals.
Uchiha Obito was stunned for a moment, not expecting this.
But Senju Tobirama and Jiraiya immediately understood: the Azure Dragon had used Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's ability to shrink objects.
Kamui!
Uchiha Obito used his Mangekyo Sharingan technique again, and this time, he used it directly on the Azure Dragon's main body.
But it failed!
Uchiha Obito quickly realized, "He used Kamui, his body has already been transferred to another dimension!"
Kamui countered Kamui!
