Naruto: Becoming the Soul King

”Have the Jinchuriki arrived as well? I wonder if they will accept my ideals. If they don’t, then I will just destroy them.”

Seiryū looked in that direction, a cold smile curling the corners of his lips.

Although the terrifying shockwave rolling back toward him was powerful, it could not affect him much.

His figure flashed as he moved toward the Third Tsuchikage, and he immediately asked, ”Let me ask you a question. Do you accept my ideals, and will you submit to my will?”

”Nonsense!”

The Third Tsuchikage watched Seiryū warily, his eyes filled with gravity.

Come to think of it, he had never fought the other party before. This was their first meeting, and all information regarding him had come from his subordinates’ reports.

The intelligence reports had indeed mentioned that the other party was mentally unstable.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case.

What on earth did he mean by that!?

”If you do not accept it, then the only outcome is destruction.”

Seiryū cracked his neck and turned his gaze toward the Iwagakure shinobi behind the Third Tsuchikage.

He said viciously, ”I will create a Ninja World that only accepts my ideals. I will eliminate anyone who tries to stand in my way, one by one.”

”Stop spouting such nonsense, brat!”

Hearing this, the Third Tsuchikage’s pupils constricted, but he replied coldly, ”Even Senju Hashirama and Madara from the past could never achieve such a thing!”

”With such evil and insane ideas, you truly are a threat and a scourge. You actually want to overthrow the entire Ninja World?”

Although he still didn’t know what the other party’s goal was, he understood the meaning behind his words.

He wanted to overthrow the entire Ninja World. Such an idea was far too evil and insane!

The smile on Seiryū’s face was insane and neurotic. ”Evil? Insane? Hehehe, I am only seeking happiness!”

”Since you do not accept it, then I can only destroy it and rebuild it!”

What was he doing wrong?

He was just trying to pursue happiness!

It was everyone else who was too ignorant!

Why wouldn’t they accept him and submit to him?

Seiryū licked his lips. ”Let’s start with you all. All you ignorant fools can just die.”

’Boom!’

As he finished speaking, Seiryū punched out from a distance.

His Monstrous Strength struck the air, causing it to condense into a pillar and transform into a terrifying force that blasted outward!

This was a taijutsu technique that combined Monstrous Strength and Hakuda.

It was not the Evening Elephant from Guy’s Eight Inner Gates Formation in the original story, but it shared the same principle, though the power naturally could not be compared!

”Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!”

Sensing the danger, the Third Tsuchikage’s expression changed slightly.

He quickly formed hand seals, and a glowing white square appeared in his palms.

As he pushed his hands forward, the cube expanded and blocked the path before him.

Dust Release could be used for both offense and defense.

Ordinary ninjutsu would be separated into atoms upon contact with Dust Release, serving as a unique form of defense!

’Boom!’

The force of the punch collided with the Dust Release.

Amid the roar, light illuminated the world once more, and shockwaves spread outward.

”It’s not ninjutsu!?”

The punch couldn’t break through the defense of the Dust Release, but the recoil pushed the Third Tsuchikage backward, and his expression turned grave.

This actually wasn’t ninjutsu?

”As expected of a Kekkei Tōta, it is indeed powerful.”

Before anyone knew it, Seiryū had used Shunpo to step through the air and had already arrived not far from the Third Tsuchikage, a vicious smile curling his lips.

’Boom, boom, boom!’

Seiryū punched repeatedly, each blow heavy and powerful.

He caused the air to condense into fists, blasting toward the Third Tsuchikage with crushing force.

It was overwhelming, enough to shatter a mountain into dust!

Amid the continuous roars, the Dust Release cube constructed by the Third Tsuchikage cracked under the repeated bombardment.

However, the next moment, another Dust Release was cast, blocking Seiryū’s dense attacks!

”Damn it, what kind of monster is this?”

The Third Tsuchikage was shocked and felt immense pressure.

Maintaining Dust Release required consuming a massive amount of chakra.

This guy was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

”Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique!”

Knowing he couldn’t continue to defend passively, the Third Tsuchikage applied a weight-reduction technique to himself.

His figure flashed, and he flew sideways at high speed, dodging the dense barrage of punches!

”Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!”

The light of the Dust Release shone, and a cone-shaped beam of Dust Release expanded outward, intending to tear him apart into atoms!

”Bakudō #81: Dankū!”

Seiryū narrowed his eyes. The power of the Dust Release made him unable to be careless.

He formed hand seals and manifested the Dankū wall, blocking it before him and colliding with the Dust Release beam!

’Boom!’

The roar was accompanied by blinding light, and shockwaves billowed out.

They clashed endlessly, one attacking and one defending, a collision of spear and shield!

Taking advantage of this moment, Seiryū bypassed the Dankū wall, tapped his feet rapidly to increase his speed, and dashed out, raising his hand to fire a swift lightning pillar. ”Flying Dragon Striking Thief Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon!”

”This kind of attack cannot hit me!”

Being able to fly was an advantage.

The Third Tsuchikage simply lowered his body, dodging the frontal assault of the lightning pillar.

Narrowing his eyes, he snorted coldly, ”I admit that your strength is very high and your talent is unlike anything I have ever seen, but my Dust Release is stronger!”

”Dust Release: Detachment of the Limitless World Technique!”

The Third Tsuchikage spread his hands, and a glowing white cube shot out, expanding in midair and attempting to envelop the charging Seiryū.

’Whoosh!’

Dust Release was definitely one of the techniques that could kill him. It could separate his entire body into atoms, so Seiryū would not underestimate it in the slightest.

He used the Flying Thunder God Technique, dodging the moment before he was enveloped by the Dust Release.

”Cero!”

Appearing in a position below, Seiryū extended his right hand.

A deep purple light shone from his fingertips, transforming into a chakra ray that pierced through the world and shot upward!

’Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.’

The Cero collided with the Dust Release.

There was no roaring sound, only a faint noise.

Amid the conflict, the Cero was separated by the Dust Release into atoms invisible to the naked eye!

”Tsk.”

Seiryū couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The Kekkei Tōta indeed had its unique merits.

It was integrated offense and defense, difficult to break through.

’Boom! Boom!’

A roar came from the left as two small Tailed Beast Balls attacked.

Seiryū’s senses had long since detected them, and under his control, Golden Chains extended and lashed out.

With two ’crack’ sounds, the trajectories of the two Tailed Beast Balls were altered, flying past him and exploding behind him, sending a terrifying storm sweeping toward him.

”Lightning Style: Black Panther!”

From another position, amidst a low shout, thunder crackled and resounded.

Black Lightning took the shape of a panther and lunged at Seiryū, fierce and domineering. The Black Lightning contained immense destructive power!

”Hadō #78: Hana-Karin!”

It also couldn’t escape Seiryū’s senses.

Chakra condensed into a chakra blade, and Seiryū slashed down.

A jagged, arc-shaped slash cut through the air, severing the Black Lightning Panther.

Without losing momentum, it struck toward the attacking Third Raikage, only to be torn apart by a sharper Hell Stab!

Seiryū looked over and grinned. ”You can still move after taking that hit? Your defense and physique are truly terrifying.”

”I am not so easily killed. Now, it is time for you to die!”

The Third Raikage was bathed in terrifying Black Lightning, the frequency of its pulsing becoming even more violent as he overloaded the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

It made his aura even more berserk, yet scorched marks appeared on his body, caused by his own physique being unable to withstand the power of the Black Lightning!

Even if the Third Tsuchikage hadn’t acted just now, he had been confident that he could have blocked the Tailed Beast Ball with shape transformation while using the overloaded Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

At the same time, behind the Third Raikage, there were Kumogakure shinobi regrouping.

More Kumogakure shinobi were also coming from the direction of Kumogakure, gathering together and standing behind the Third Raikage!

The entire Kumogakure shinobi army had been mobilized!

On this side, having landed on the ground, the Third Tsuchikage turned his gaze toward the Third Raikage.

He muttered in a grave and surprised tone, ”He actually had such a trump card? Combining Black Lightning with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.”

He had thought that the Third Raikage, having lost an arm, would have his strength weakened.

He hadn’t expected that it would instead lead him to master this new technique!

His strength had not decreased but increased!

Even the aura the other party was releasing now made him feel apprehensive.

’Whoosh, whoosh!’

Two figures dashed over rapidly. They were the two Jinchuriki from Iwagakure, Rōshi and Han.

The Tailed Beast Balls that had been fired at Seiryū were naturally their work.

After blocking the Tailed Beast Ball with shape transformation just now, they had rushed over here as well.

Behind the two of them, the army of Iwagakure shinobi that had been assembled also arrived one after another.

They stood ready, as if waiting for the Third Tsuchikage’s orders!

One on the left and one on the right, the Iwagakure and Kumogakure shinobi stood in a standoff.

The two armies looked like they were about to break out into a massive war.

Each side had thousands of people, a huge number.

As long as their respective Kage gave the order, a war would break out right here, outside Kumogakure.

Of course, although the people from the two great Ninja Villages were confronting each other, they seemed to be focusing more of their attention on Seiryū in the middle.

It seemed that compared to the other side, with their numerous forces, Seiryū, who was only one person, was actually the presence that required even more vigilance and caution!

To the left was the Iwagakure army, and to the right was the Kumogakure army!

Encircled in the middle, Seiryū felt no fear at all. Instead, a vicious, insane smile appeared on his face. ”What? Do you intend to use your numbers to bury me?”

”Hehehe, hahaha, then let’s give it a try. Will I slaughter you all first, or will I be killed by you first?”

Seiryū licked his lips, his dragon eyes scarlet and fierce, as if he did not put the massive shinobi armies of both sides in his eyes.

Since he had the idea of changing the Ninja World and making it submit to his will, Seiryū was already prepared to fight the entire Ninja World with his own strength.

Only by sweeping through the Ninja World, possessing the power to sweep through the Ninja World, would the Ninja World change because of him!

”The change of the Ninja World shall begin with you two!”

Seiryū appeared insane, the expression on his face extremely neurotic, and he spat out a sentence viciously. ”Eight Inner Gates Formation, Seventh Gate: Gate of Wonder, open!”

’Boom! Boom, boom, boom!’

With Dragon Transformation and Hollowfication layered with the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates Formation, the chakra fluctuation on Seiryū’s body rose to a terrifying level.

The eruption of chakra alone was enough to shake one’s mind.

This chakra fluctuation was far, far stronger than that of a Tailed Beast.

No, it wasn’t even on the same level at all!

”This kind of chakra fluctuation.”

Sensing this chakra fluctuation, the Third Tsuchikage’s expression changed wildly, and sweat seeped from his forehead.

He clenched his hands unconsciously. ”Even Madara from the past might not have possessed such terrifying chakra, right?”

He had challenged Madara in the past.

And then, he was crushed.

And now, he discovered that Seiryū’s chakra was not inferior to that of Madara in the past!

How old was Seiryū now?

To possess such terrifying power at this age, why would such a monster appear in the Ninja World?

”What terrifying chakra!”

”Is the other party really only in his teens? This kind of chakra has far exceeded that of a Tailed Beast.”

Rōshi and Han, when they sensed this chakra fluctuation, couldn’t help but swallow.

As Jinchuriki, they were able to skillfully use Tailed Beast chakra.

Their chakra was also very vast, but in front of Seiryū, they felt like fake Jinchuriki.

The two of them combined didn’t have as much terrifying chakra as the other party!

The Third Raikage on this side gritted his teeth, the gravity on his face extremely obvious. ”He is stronger than before. Does this guy have no limits?”

The other party had not been using his full strength all along and had even stronger power that he hadn’t unleashed.

But he also hadn’t expected that the other party would be stronger than before.

It was as if there were no limits. Every once in a while, he would become stronger!

This kind of person was too terrifying!

”Not attacking? Then I will attack first. After I deal with you, I still need to go and make others accept me and submit to me!”

Seiryū smiled viciously, not wanting to waste time.

After the Dragon Transformation and Hollowfication, Seiryū’s physique became stronger, so the burden of opening the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates Formation was not as great as imagined.

He didn’t even need to open the Creation Rebirth: Strength of a Hundred Technique, nor did he need to use Kaidō.

The consumption of chakra was smaller, and the time he could maintain it was longer!

”Heilig Pfeil!”

Golden Chains shot into the sky, condensing into bow after bow of chakra.

With the arrowheads aimed at the Iwagakure and Kumogakure shinobi, Seiryū’s vicious voice fell.

’Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.’

The Heilig Pfeil, infused with the nature of Fire Release chakra, covered the sky and fell like raindrops.

Everyone on the field was included within the range of the attack!

Numerous people?

As a ”ninjutsu battery,” Seiryū feared nothing less than many opponents.

He alone was an army!

This was the source of his confidence to challenge the entire Ninja World alone!

Those two in the past could sweep through the Ninja World, and he could do it now too!

No matter how many Genin or Chunin there were, it was useless.

Only Jonin were qualified to attack him.

Only Kage-level would make Seiryū pay attention for a moment!

Only the best among the Kage-level, the powerhouses who surpassed the Kage-level, had the qualifications to fight Seiryū and the possibility of threatening him!

’Boom, boom, boom.’

Seiryū made his move.

One man fighting two Ninja Villages alone!

Under the orders of the two Kage, the Kumogakure and Iwagakure shinobi also used their various means.

All kinds of techniques were unleashed.

They collided with the Heilig Pfeil that covered the sky and fell like raindrops.

In an instant, a dense roaring sound resounded, connecting into a single piece, shaking the eardrums.

There were even waves of shockwaves sweeping out like tides.
