Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Urashiki's Shock—This Physical Strength is Too Terrifying
Everyone was left utterly speechless, staring at the figure in the sky in stunned disbelief.
"Lord Akira, as expected, he has indeed transformed into a dragon. No wonder the Great White Snake Sage holds him in such high regard. This dragon is even nobler than the White Snake Sage's dragon form..."
From the depths of their bloodline, Tanshin Hime and Ichikishima Hime found themselves bowing to the ground, showing the utmost respect. Yet, their eyes were filled with a fervent gaze, locked onto the dragon's form hidden within the thick clouds.
Although the dragon's body was concealed within the dense cloud cover, the occasional flash of lightning would reveal glimpses of the dragon's form, adding to its mysterious allure.
"As expected, Akira has completed his dragon transformation. Theoretically, he should be able to transform into a dragon," Orochimaru muttered to himself, his eyes intensely fixated on the dragon hidden in the clouds.
Given that his true form had become the White Phosphorous Serpent, it made sense for Akira, after completing his own transformation, to turn into a dragon. This was a perfectly logical development, and Orochimaru had always believed that Akira would achieve this.
Today, before everyone's eyes, Akira transformed into a golden divine dragon, confirming Orochimaru's theory.
"So, this is Akira's trump card? A dragon? Isn't this the kind of mythical creature only found in legends?" Jiraiya muttered as he looked at the dragon in the clouds, his face full of shock.
While a true dragon had never appeared in the original world of Naruto, legends about dragons had always existed. For example, fire-style techniques had names like Dragon Flame Jutsu and Dragon Fire Release Song.
However, in the shinobi world, the existence of dragons, like the Sage of Six Paths, was considered part of mythology. No one believed they actually existed!
But now, in front of everyone's eyes, Akira had truly transformed into a golden divine dragon, soaring through the clouds. This was the stuff of legends come to life!
"How... how is this even possible?" Even Fugaku Uchiha was left completely dumbfounded. He knew Akira was strong, but transforming into a mythical dragon? That was simply beyond imagination!
"How can this be real? Is that a real dragon or just some kind of transformation jutsu?" Deidara asked in disbelief, staring at the dragon figure in the clouds.
"It's probably real. This feeling... there's no way it's fake," Uchiha Itachi said as he seriously observed the figure in the clouds.
"A dragon? Has Akira really transformed into a divine dragon?" All the members of the Akatsuki stared at Akira's figure, their faces filled with disbelief.
Everyone in the Akatsuki was aware of Akira's incredible power, but they had never heard of him possessing the ability to transform into a dragon!
Was this a power he had recently gained? Or had he always had it but simply never revealed it?
"A dragon? Could such a creature really exist?" Even Urashiki was in shock, staring at Akira and silently pondering.
This was terrifying. Akira's power was even greater than Urashiki had initially thought.
But more importantly, what kind of abilities did a mythical dragon possess? This was an unknown factor.
"Lord Akira has truly transformed into a dragon! Our village has a legendary divine dragon. How wonderful!"
"I always knew Lord Akira was extraordinary, and now I've been proven right!"
"The horns on Lord Akira's head make so much more sense now. I didn't realize he could transform into an actual divine dragon!"
The shinobi of the Leaf Village were buzzing with excitement, their voices filled with awe and joy as they watched the spectacle in the sky.
If Akira had transformed into any other type of creature, they might have thought he had become a monster. But becoming a divine dragon? A mythical beast? This only filled them with admiration and pride!
Who in the entire shinobi world had ever seen a real divine dragon? They had!
And not only had they seen it, but the dragon was none other than Lord Akira himself, a true member of the Leaf Village!
Was there anything more exhilarating than this?
At this moment, Akira was even more revered than the legendary First Hokage.
Why? For one, the First Hokage had been gone for many years, while Akira was alive and well. Moreover, while the title of "God of Shinobi" was bestowed upon the First Hokage due to his efforts in ending the Warring States period, Akira had transcended that. His very essence was akin to that of a god!
As Akira transformed into a golden dragon, the people of the Leaf Village felt their spirits lift, their morale surging.
The legendary divine beast now resided in the Leaf Village, and Lord Akira had become a real, living dragon. Was there anything more exciting than this?
As a result, the chaotic battlefield in the Leaf Village momentarily fell silent.
Everyone stared at Akira in astonishment.
It was as if they were witnessing the Sage of Six Paths himself come to life before their very
eyes.
Meanwhile, within the clouds, Akira felt his new dragon form for the first time, taking a moment to adjust to the changes in his body.
Soaring through the clouds in this dragon form, Akira felt like he was in his natural element.
Becoming a dragon was an ability Akira had only recently mastered.
After completing his transformation in Ryuchi Cave, Akira's body had indeed become that of a divine dragon, but he hadn't yet fully grasped how to change into this form.
It was like a person who theoretically knows how to swim but still needs practice to master it.
Akira was the same; he had the potential to become a dragon but hadn't figured out how to activate the transformation.
That's why, during the Akatsuki's first attack on the Leaf Village, even when Hinata was nearly killed, Akira had only activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and didn't reveal his dragon
form.
At that time, he hadn't yet mastered the ability to transform into a divine dragon!
Perhaps it was because he had only recently completed the dragon transformation, or maybe his subconscious hadn't fully adapted to the change.
Regardless, at that point, Akira hadn't yet unlocked this power. But now, he felt he had.
And sure enough, after finally unleashing it, the transformation was complete!
As Akira reveled in the freedom of soaring through the sky in his new dragon form, he felt incredibly at ease.
Although he had flown before, using the wings created by Konan's Paper Release techniques, this was different.
It was like the difference between learning to swim and being born a fish, instinctively knowing how to swim.
After spending some time adjusting to his new form, Akira finally turned his attention back to
the Leaf Village.
Then, his massive dragon form descended from the clouds.
In full view of everyone, the dense clouds parted, revealing a massive golden dragon's head. Akira's gaze swept across the crowd below before locking onto Urashiki.
Though it was just his dragon head, this time everyone clearly saw Akira's true form.
His dragon face bore a striking resemblance to his human form but with the unmistakableNôv(el)B\\jnn
features of a real dragon.
And as Urashiki met Akira's gaze, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
A sense of danger overwhelmed him like never before!
Urashiki quickly focused his mind and took out another pill from his gourd, swallowing it
down.
Though his chakra didn't need replenishing, the pill would forcibly increase his chakra
reserves.
Without wasting any time, Akira's massive dragon body swooped down, his hundred-meter- long form rushing toward Urashiki.
At the same time, his giant dragon claw reached for Urashiki!
"Ha!" Urashiki quickly activated his ability, forming a red protective barrier around himself.
But the golden dragon's claw wrapped around both Urashiki and his barrier, squeezing them
tightly.
Then, the dragon took off into the sky once more. Crack... crack...
As Akira's dragon claw continued to exert pressure, cracks began to form on Urashiki's red shield, spreading like broken glass.
The cracks deepened, and it seemed as though the barrier would shatter at any moment!
"This... this is the power of a dragon? This physical strength is terrifying!" Urashiki thought to himself, feeling a deep sense of shock as he realized his barrier was on the verge of
collapsing. Indeed, the sheer physical power of the dragon was terrifying-Akira was crushing Urashiki's shield with his bare hands!
POWER STONE!!!
