Naruto: Becoming the Soul King

”What kind of Sealing Jutsu is this!?”

The moment the golden light appeared out of thin air, Killer B sensed that something was wrong.

Then, the enormous golden pillars that crashed down from midair filled him with even greater alarm.

The Golden Chains that came last gave him an even stronger sense of danger.

As several Sealing Jutsu struck him one after another, Killer B discovered that the Chakra within his body had begun to churn, making it impossible to control freely.

Even his fully transformed Tailed Beast body showed signs of liquefying!

What kind of Sealing Jutsu was this?

It was simply unprecedented!

Did the Uzumaki Clan possess this type of Sealing Jutsu?

Moreover, it was extremely difficult to dodge unless he received prior warning or canceled his Full Tailed Beast Transformation.

Otherwise, with the massive body of the Full Tailed Beast Transformation, dodging was simply impossible!

”It’s normal that you haven’t seen it. Didn’t I say this is a Sealing Jutsu I developed myself? Surprised? Unexpected?”

Seiryū grinned broadly.

If the opponent were still in his Semi-Tailed Beast Transformation, using Bakudō to bind and seal him might require some effort.

The Full Tailed Beast Transformation granted a massive body and overwhelming power, but its speed had clearly dropped significantly.

This was the weakness of the Eight-Tails, Gyuki!

With eight octopus-like tails beneath its body, its movements were naturally restricted, giving Seiryū an opening.

Of course.

It was also because the opponent knew very little about his abilities. Otherwise, Killer B would probably not have done something so foolish.

”B, we need to break free as soon as possible, or both of us will be sealed.”

The Eight-Tails, Gyuki, spoke anxiously within Killer B’s mind.

It had already warned Killer B to be careful of the opponent’s Sealing Jutsu, but it had not expected that Seiryū’s techniques would be so strange.

He had developed them himself.

The opponent’s talent once again left Gyuki surprised and shocked!

”I know!”

Killer B’s expression was also extremely ugly. He had still underestimated the opponent.

Realizing the severity of the situation, the fully transformed Killer B let out a roar, and the terrifying Chakra within his body surged and erupted.

He needed to break free before he was completely sealed and the flow of his Chakra was restricted.

Otherwise.

Once his Chakra flow was sealed, he would become the opponent’s prisoner.

Being captured on the battlefield would have far too great an impact on the course of the war.

He absolutely would not allow that!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by the eruption of terrifying Chakra, Killer B became even more violent.

Terrifying power gathered within his body, as though he intended to tear apart the three Sealing Jutsu restraining him.

Hum!

However, the power of Bakudō strengthened by incantations was fully displayed. How could he break free so easily?

Besides, Seiryū would not simply stand by and watch!

”Four Symbols Seal! Five Elements Seal! Eight Trigrams Seal!”

Almost instantly, Seiryū used the Golden Chains piercing Killer B’s body to apply authentic Uzumaki Clan Sealing Jutsu once again.

Dense black seals instantly spread across Killer B’s body.

They intended to seal him completely and suppress all fluctuations of his Chakra!

”Damn it!”

Killer B roared repeatedly, the anxiety in his eyes becoming even more apparent.

He felt the Chakra inside him becoming increasingly uncontrollable as it was suppressed bit by bit.

The liquefaction of his fully transformed Tailed Beast body became increasingly obvious.

His originally solid body began to grow unstable, and the eight tentacle-like tails started dissolving into liquid Chakra.

They gradually withdrew into his body.

It seemed that in the next moment, the Tailed Beast Chakra within him would be suppressed, dispersed, and completely sealed away.

”B!”

At that moment, a roar came from nearby.

Seeing that Killer B was in danger, A no longer wanted to remain entangled with Tsunade.

He took Tsunade’s punch head-on!

Even though his body was covered in Lightning Release Armor, he could not completely neutralize the force of Tsunade’s punch.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his chest caved in slightly.

Boom, boom, boom!

However, using the momentum from being sent flying, he rushed toward Seiryū at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

His speed was so great that he seemed to pierce through the air itself!

”Don’t get too carried away, brat!”

A’s cold voice rang out. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, showing that Tsunade’s punch had not been easy to withstand.

But it had not caused him to lose his ability to fight.

At this moment, he transformed into a streak of blue light and rapidly approached Seiryū.

Lightning crisscrossed his body, and the Lightning Release Armor surrounding him shone even more brightly as dazzling electric light flashed wildly!

Crackle! Crackle!

A raised his right arm like a blade. Highly concentrated lightning gathered around it, crackling wildly.

The Ninjutsu and Taijutsu technique he had refined to the extreme now displayed terrifying power.

Using his hand as a blade, he slashed down at Seiryū!

The air itself seemed to be sliced apart. It was a terrifying attack capable of splitting steel in two!

”Heh.”

A approached with fierce momentum, and his attack was exceptionally sharp, but it could not escape Seiryū’s perception.

Seiryū merely turned his head slightly, formed a one-handed seal, and calmly said, ”Bakudō 81: Dankū!”

Clatter!

A Golden Chain extended forward, its tip lighting up as a translucent Wall of Void appeared in front of Seiryū, directly blocking the incoming hand blade!

Boom! Crack!

The hand blade, wrapped in leaping lightning and carrying tremendous cutting force, slashed into the Wall of Void.

A roar immediately erupted.

The unstoppable strike was so powerful that even the Wall of Void, with its formidable defense, could not withstand it completely.

Amid the sound of cracking, countless fissures spread across the Wall of Void.

However, it was not directly shattered!

”So hard.”

A gritted his teeth, but his attack did not stop. He roared again.

His left fist clenched tightly as lightning condensed around it.

The unstoppable punch struck straight ahead!

Crack! Crack!

When the punch landed, the already fractured Wall of Void could no longer hold on. It instantly shattered and dissipated into specks of light.

Boom!

A’s eyes were filled with ferocity, his gaze locked firmly onto Seiryū.

He stomped on the ground, instantly cracking the earth.

Power surged upward from the soles of his feet as he twisted his waist.

He then drove another straight punch heavily toward Seiryū, blasting apart the air!

”How could it be so easy for you to save him?”

Seiryū snorted coldly and neither dodged nor retreated.

He also threw a punch filled with terrifying power!

Boom!

Their fists, each containing immense power, collided at that moment, producing a deafening roar.

The earth cracked, and waves of air swept outward.

The opponent’s furious punch was not easy to block, and Seiryū felt a soreness spread through his arm.

His eyes narrowed slightly as a thought arose in his mind.

The ethereal state of the Dragon Vein Chakra Mode truly did not enhance Taijutsu as much as the Eight Inner Gates.

Pop, pop, pop!

However, A could not suppress him either.

With a thought from Seiryū, the Golden Chains behind him danced wildly.

They transformed into whips and lashed down toward A.

They were heavy and powerful, causing sonic booms to ring through the air!

A’s eyes were cold.

Facing the incoming Golden Chains, he actually ignored them.

Instead, he launched another attack at Seiryū!

The muscles in his left arm bulged, and a powerful punch smashed toward Seiryū’s chest.

It seemed that he intended to force Seiryū to abandon his attack and defend by trading injury for injury.

If Seiryū refused to stop attacking and chose to exchange injuries, that would be even better!

A simply did not believe that Seiryū’s defense could be stronger than his own while he was covered in Lightning Release Armor!

”Come on, let’s hurt each other. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Sensing his opponent’s intention, Seiryū merely sneered as a trace of madness flashed through his eyes.

A head-on clash?

Trading injury for injury?

Whoever backed down first was a coward!

Come on, let them hurt each other!

A’s defense was powerful, but Seiryū’s recovery was not weak either!

Seiryū was not afraid of trading injuries at all. He had mastered two powerful healing techniques, Kaidō and Creation Rebirth.

As long as his head was not blown apart, he could even regenerate severed limbs!

Besides, did they really think Seiryū’s own defense was weak?

He knew the Quincy’s Blut Arterie, so how could he not have mastered Blut Vene?

He had it. Of course he had it!

Hum!

Seiryū mobilized the Dragon Vein Chakra within his body, predicted where the opponent’s fist would land, and condensed Chakra at that spot.

The concentrated purple Chakra seemed to shine through his flesh, forming a special purple pattern.

The use of Blut Vene was different from Armament Haki.

There was no such limitation that prevented him from hardening his body while attacking.

Clang!

A’s punch struck Seiryū’s chest directly, producing the sound of colliding metal.

Although the impact knocked Seiryū backward, A also felt a faint pain in his arm.

”This is.”

A’s expression changed drastically.

Was this some kind of Steel Release Kekkei Genkai?

Could Seiryū really block his strike with nothing but his body?

Boom, boom, boom!

Just as A’s punch forced Seiryū back, the Golden Chains struck A at the same time.

The lashes, which contained terrifying Monstrous Strength, were not weak at all.

A dense series of explosions rang out. Even though A’s body was covered in Lightning Release Armor, the Golden Chains still beat him until he repeatedly spat out blood.

Dark marks resembling whip wounds appeared all over his body.

The pain made A grunt, clearly leaving him extremely uncomfortable!

”Is that all? Forget about saving the Jinchuriki. Even you will have to pay the price here! Bakudō 61: Rikujōkōrō!”

Boom!

Seiryū stomped his right foot against the ground to steady himself.

He revealed a bright grin, formed hand seals, and cast Rikujōkōrō to lock A’s movements in place.

Afterward, he stepped forward, and the Dragon Vein Chakra within his body was mobilized frantically.

Hum, hum.

A Rasengan containing extremely cold air spun wildly in his hand.

The surrounding temperature dropped drastically in an instant.

With Seiryū at the center, the nearby ground became covered in white frost.

”Eat this ice ball!”

Holding the Ice Release: Rasengan in his hand, Seiryū revealed a cold smile and pressed it heavily toward A’s chest.

”Hmph!”

A, who had already endured the lashes of the Golden Chains, was overwhelmed.

Facing the incoming Rasengan, he had no way to dodge.

With a cold snort, A instantly increased the Chakra output of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The defense of his Lightning Release Armor became thicker and stronger as he prepared to withstand the attack head-on!

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Lightning Release Armor covering A’s body was forcibly torn open.

Terrifying power and freezing air erupted at the same time.

Not only was A blasted far away, but the cold air invading his body also caused him immense discomfort.

”Cough.”

The blood A coughed out instantly froze into shards of ice.

”Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hadō 73: Sōren Sōkatsui!”

Strike while the iron was hot!

Looking at A as he flew backward, Seiryū began chanting rapidly.

Hadō 73: Sōren Sōkatsui was the strongest Hadō Seiryū currently possessed.

Its power naturally could not be underestimated!

Blaze!

As Seiryū thrust out his right hand, surging and violent pale flames spread outward in a fan shape.

They covered a vast area ahead.

Unless one used Space-Time Ninjutsu, it was impossible to dodge!

The entire area ahead was engulfed in pale flames, and the raging heat was enough to melt the earth.

”A!”

Dodai, who was watching from not far away, underwent a drastic change in expression, his eyes filled with extreme horror.

He did not dare hesitate in the slightest. He immediately formed hand seals and shouted, ”Lava Release: Rubber Wall!”

Immediately.

A rubber-like substance was spat from Dodai’s mouth.

It passed through the scorching curtain of fire.

Then it covered A, wrapping around and protecting him so that he would not be burned by the scorching pale flames.

”Quickly, use Water Release to extinguish those flames!”

Dodai shouted at the stunned Kumo shinobi around him.

”Water Release.”

Hearing Dodai’s shout, the group of Kumo shinobi seemed to awaken from a dream.

They immediately began forming hand seals, preparing to cast Water Release.

”Are you treating me like I don’t exist? Heilig Pfeil!”

Looking toward the Kumo shinobi, Seiryū revealed a cruel smile.

The Golden Chains rattled, and Chakra bows formed at their tips.

Aiming at the Kumo shinobi, they fired bolts of Heilig Pfeil!

Swish, swish, swish!

The Heilig Pfeil were faster and struck before the Kumo shinobi could cast their Water Release.

Not only did they interrupt their movements, but they also caused heavy casualties.

”Still not dead? Quite impressive vitality.”

After stopping the Kumo shinobi’s rescue attempt, Seiryū looked toward the area engulfed by the curtain of flames.

Through his perception, A’s Chakra was still present. The previous attack had not killed him.

Seiryū thought that the opponent’s vitality was indeed formidable. He had actually survived even that.

Then he would simply attack one more time!

Hum!

The Golden Chains began converging together, forming a much thicker chain.

At its tip, an even larger Chakra bow had already been drawn and was ready to fire.

At that moment, Seiryū sensed something, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

However, he did not stop his attack.

Boom!

The Heilig Pfeil, over ten meters long, tore through the air and struck A, who was protected by the rubber sphere.

With a resounding roar, the enormous Heilig Pfeil pierced through A’s body and plunged into the ground.

”Haa, haa.”

Half of his body had been pierced through and annihilated by the Heilig Pfeil, and A’s pupils widened uncontrollably.

Although he wanted to say something, he could only make meaningless sounds.

The vitality within his body rapidly drained away along with a massive amount of blood.

With an injury like this.

Unless Seiryū treated him with Kaidō, A had mastered Creation Rebirth: Strength of a Hundred Technique himself, a shinobi with the power of Yang intervened, or at the very least, he had cells from the First Hokage transplanted into his body.

Otherwise, ordinary Medical Ninjutsu could not save him!

But Seiryū no longer cared about A.

Instead, he looked toward a particular location, the killing intent in his eyes completely undisguised.

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

”Do you want to get involved too, Madara?”

At that location.

A white figure with eerie scarlet eyes appeared abruptly.

Within those eyes was a Mangekyō Sharingan pattern formed from slanted triangles.

The figure stood beside the sealed Killer B.

Madara had reappeared!
