Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 247: Thunderclap Eight Trigrams!

Buzz!

Along with a metallic tremor resembling a dragon’s roar, the light rapidly converged and solidified!

A giant pillar, about 2.2 meters long, dark green in color, imprinted with dragon scale cloud patterns, and exuding an aura of ancient majesty, suddenly appeared in Sora’s hands!

The Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column! Manifested!

At the same time, the Dragon Vein chakra that had been sealed within Sora’s body by the Sea Dragon Jade vessel erupted like a bursting dam, exploding forth!

"Roar!"

A dragon’s roar that seemed to come from ancient primordial times resonated from the depths of Sora’s bloodline. It was no longer the low growl from his previous semi-beast transformation, but filled with boundless majesty and vastness!

Rumble!!!

A massive amount of Dragon Vein chakra, infused with pure natural energy, surged out like a tide, instantly filling every meridian and every cell in Sora’s entire body!

An intense stinging pain spread. On the exposed skin of his arms, neck, and elsewhere, gray stone-like patterns even began to appear!

This was the precursor to petrification from over-absorption of natural energy!

’No time to care about that now!’

Sora directly ignored his body’s warnings, forcibly harnessing this terrifying energy far exceeding his own capacity!

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

Five shadow clones identical to him instantly appeared. They simultaneously turned to face the incoming Tailed Beast Ball!

All five shadow clones formed hand seals in unison, their chests puffed up high. Blazing high temperatures and destructive energy rapidly gathered in their mouths!

"Boro Breath!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

This was not a simple combination, but a forced fusion of the Azure Dragon Fruit’s Boro Breath ability with the form and chakra nature transformation of Fire Release ninjutsu!

Boom!!!

Five terrifying pillars of fire, each over three meters in diameter and glowing a blinding white, spewed forth from the mouths of the shadow clones like five roaring fire dragons. They merged into one mid-air.

Transforming into a destructive torrent capable of melting metal and stone and evaporating rivers, it fiercely slammed into the black Tailed Beast Ball!

Ssssss!!!!!

There was no earth-shattering explosion as one might imagine. The moment the blinding white fire column met the Tailed Beast Ball, an intense sound of energy annihilation erupted!

The terrifying high temperature actually began to "burn" and "neutralize" the Tailed Beast Ball’s energy bit by bit!

White light and black light frantically intertwined, eroded, and annihilated each other. The resulting energy storm churned up and shattered the surrounding ground layer by layer!

"What?! He actually blocked the Tailed Beast Ball?!"

"What... what kind of jutsu is that?! A combined Fire Release released by five clones? How can its power be this immense?!"

This unbelievable scene struck terror into the hearts of all witnesses!

Especially the Kumo-nin. They knew full well the terror of a perfect Jinchuriki’s Tailed Beast Ball; it was practically synonymous with destruction!

Yet now, it was being blocked head-on by five "clones" using a Fire Release-like jutsu?!

However, this was not the end!

While the five shadow clones desperately held off the Tailed Beast Ball, Sora’s main body had also elevated his condition to an unprecedented peak!

The frantic infusion of Dragon Vein chakra caused his semi-beast transformed body to swell another size. The azure-gold dragon scales became heavier and more profound, their edges even shimmering with a metallic cold luster.

The Lightning Release chakra and green steam intertwined around him, under the saturation of Dragon Vein energy, seemed tinged with a faint yellowish halo. His aura became increasingly ancient and majestic!

He gripped the newly acquired Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column tightly with both hands, feeling the bloodline connection and resonance emanating from it, along with its perfect feel, heavy as a mountain yet agile as the heart.

All his power, the Azure Dragon’s power, the berserk chakra of the Eight Gates’ sixth gate, the vast energy of the Dragon Vein, the ultimate speed of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the force application techniques of Super Strength, and the indomitable will to smash everything to pieces!

All of it, without reservation, poured madly into the Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column in his hands like countless rivers flowing to the sea!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Pillar of Heaven emitted an unprecedented intense humming. The dragon scale patterns on its surface seemed to come completely alive. The azure-gold light pulsed like breathing, and streaks of azure lightning arcs uncontrollably danced and coiled around it!

A terrifying oppressive force sufficient to make heaven and earth lose their color, with Sora at its center, suddenly spread out!

"That... what is that?!"

The Third Raikage, who was thrusting forward with his Nukite, preparing to deliver the final blow to Sora, suddenly narrowed his pupils. For the first time, a strong, almost instinctive sense of crisis arose in his heart!

From that strange pillar, he felt a lethal threat!

"No more waiting! Die! Hell Stab: Nukite!"

The Third Raikage forcibly suppressed that sliver of unease, pushing his speed and power to the limit. His two fingers, wrapped in destructive lightning, thrust straight at Sora’s head like divine spears tearing through the heavens!

"Perfect timing!"

Sora let out a sky-shaking dragon’s roar. His eyes had already transformed into pure azure-gold vertical pupils, within which thunder and fire seemed to burn!

He violently twisted his waist. The power from his entire body, like a tightly wound spring, instantly transferred to his arms and poured into the Pillar of Heaven!

The ground beneath his feet collapsed with a thunderous crash. His figure transformed into a cyan-yellow streak of lightning that surpassed the limits of visual perception. Instead of retreating, he charged forward, meeting the all-piercing Nukite head-on, and swung the Pillar of Heaven, White Jade Column, which had accumulated all his power and was coiled with destructive lightning, with full force!

"Thunderclap—Ei! ght! Tri! grams!!"

BOOM CRACK!!!!!!!!!!

A true thunderclap exploded! As if the thunder pool from the highest heavens had been poured down!

At the point where the Pillar of Heaven and the Nukite collided, a point of extreme white light erupted first, then transformed into a terrifying energy storm that devoured everything!

The clouds in the sky were instantly swept away, creating a massive void!

The earth shattered and crumbled like fragile biscuits layer by layer. A giant crater over a hundred meters in diameter instantly formed under the shockwave!

Violent airwaves mixed with lightning, flames, and dust surged outward in all directions like a tsunami. Ninja who were slightly closer, friend or foe alike, were all blown a hundred meters away! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Urgh—!"

The Third Raikage only felt an indescribable terrifying power, mixed with physical impact and energy erosion, surge madly into his body along his fingers and arm!

His Nukite, hailed as the "Strongest Spear," felt resistance for the first time. The Lightning Release chakra capable of piercing any defense was actually mutually annihilated with the strange lightning coiling around the opponent’s staff!

Even more terrifying was that pure force, like mountains toppling and seas raging, as if an ancient dragon beast was truly swinging down a mountain!

He grunted, his entire body uncontrollably flung backward. His feet plowed two bottomless trenches in the ground, sliding dozens of meters before he barely managed to steady himself.

His arm was numb, and the energy and blood within his body churned restlessly!
