Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 254 The Mobilized "Root"

One day later, above the dense forests within the Land of Fire.

A streak of cyan light skimmed low at a speed not too fast, but still far exceeding that of an ordinary ninja. It was Sora, on his way back.

His flying figure paused slightly. His sensory ability caught, about seven li ahead, a cluster of chakra, completely unconcealed, carrying a gloomy and malicious intent, moving rapidly. Its direction... seemed to be heading straight for the frontline Konoha camp?

Sora hovered in the air, carefully sensing. That leading gloomy chakra aura... it was Danzo! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Behind him were over twenty Root ninjas with considerable strength.

’Heh, faster than I expected.’

Sora instantly understood Danzo’s purpose.

That old man must have been rebuffed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, couldn’t hold back, and decided to come personally with his men to "invite" him.

A cold glint flashed in Sora’s eyes.

He originally didn’t want complications, but since the other side delivered themselves to his doorstep...

’Perfect. Use them for a test run, and give Danzo a deep lesson while at it, so he bothers me less in the future.’

Sora deliberately slowed his flight speed, adjusted his direction slightly, making the chakra fluctuations he emitted more obvious, like a lighthouse in the dark night, guiding Danzo and his group.

...

Not long after, one dark shadow after another shot out, occupying positions all around at extreme speed, forming a tight encirclement, surrounding Sora completely.

Danzo slowly walked out from the shadows of the forest, his eyes coldly locked onto Sora.

"Sora, was it you who attacked my Root squad within the Land of Fire before?"

Sora slowly landed on the ground. The gaze beneath the Azure Dragon mask was calm and unrippled, as if watching a group of clowns.

To Danzo’s questioning, he didn’t even have the interest to answer, merely looking at the other party with that indifferent expression.

This dismissive attitude completely enraged Danzo, who was already harboring resentment.

"Stubborn fool! Since you refuse to admit it, then come back to the Root with this old man for a ’good talk’!" Danzo roared angrily.

"Move!"

At his command, the over twenty elite Root ninjas around instantly moved!

Kunai and shuriken rained down on Sora like a storm. Simultaneously, several ninjas skilled in sealing jutsu formed hand signs. Dark runes instantly lit up on the ground.

Wind Release, Fire Release, insect swarms... the light of various ninjutsu and secret techniques interwove, instantly submerging Sora’s location.

Facing the attacks from all directions, Sora’s eyes turned cold.

Since you are actively seeking death, don’t blame me for being impolite!

"Azure Dragon Form. Partial Beast Transformation!"

"Eight Gates. Sixth Gate of View, Open!"

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three states were activated almost simultaneously!

Violent green steam mixed with hissing azure blue lightning arcs surged into the sky. Sora’s body grew drastically within the light!

A terrifying aura far exceeding the ordinary Kage level swept out like a storm, causing even the Root ninjas charging at the front to pause momentarily!

"Die!"

Sora let out a low draconic roar. His figure, covered in lightning armor and dragon scales, instantly blurred!

Whoosh!

He vanished from his spot. The next moment, he appeared before a Root ninja who was forming hand signs to use Earth Release.

A dragon fist imbued with super strength smashed squarely into his chest!

Thump!

Like a watermelon exploding, this Root ninja was directly punched into a mist of blood.

An absolutely shocking instant kill!

"Be careful! His speed is too fast!"

After all, they were Root ninjas accustomed to life and death, with little emotional fluctuation. Another Root squad leader shouted sharply, "Contract the formation! Long-range suppression! Yamanaka!"

Following the order, the Root ninjas displayed extremely high tactical proficiency.

Several ninjas immediately retreated, forming hand signs rapidly.

"Wind Release. Great Breakthrough!"

"Fire Release. Majestic Dragon Flame Technique!"

Fierce winds carrying scorching fire dragons intertwined, blasting towards Sora, attempting to restrict his movement range.

Meanwhile, that Yamanaka clan ninja closed his eyes. Powerful mental energy, like an invisible spike, silently stabbed towards Sora’s mind!

’Yamanaka clan mental attack?’

Sensing that mental fluctuation, Sora inwardly sneered.

Although his soul had issues when he crossed over, nourished by the Azure Dragon Fruit and the Dragon Vein, it was already incredibly resilient. Coupled with the innate draconic majesty within him, how could a Mind Body Switch Technique of this level shake him?

He did not dodge or evade. Bearing the combined Wind and Fire Release attacks head-on, lightning flashed around him, cyan light flowed over his dragon scales, forcibly neutralizing most of the violent ninjutsu’s power!

And he himself, like a lightning dragon swimming upstream, instantly broke through the ninjutsu blockade, appearing before that Yamanaka clan ninja!

"How is this possible?! Mind Body Switch failed?!"

The Yamanaka ninja just recovered from the wild draconic majesty within Sora’s body when he saw a ferocious claw covered in dragon scales and entwined with lightning rapidly enlarging before his eyes!

"Squelch!"

The claw pierced through his heart without any hindrance, completely cutting off the words behind.

Another instant kill!

"Aburame! Parasitic Destruction Insects. Hurricane!" The squad leader’s voice carried a hint of shock and anger.

Buzz—

A large black mass of Parasitic Destruction Insects surged from the sleeve of another Aburame clan Root ninja like dark clouds, forming a black tornado that swept towards Sora with a buzzing sound.

These insects could not only devour chakra but also carried potent toxins themselves.

"Insects? I hate insects the most!"

A trace of disgust flashed in Sora’s eyes. He remembered the troublesome insects of Aburame Shino from the original story.

To deal with such things, the best method is thorough area-of-effect cleanup!

"Boro Breath!"

Controlling the power within a certain range, and mixing it with his own Fire Release chakra, Sora opened his mouth and released a blazing white, fan-shaped flame breath!

Sizzle—!!!

The moment the high-temperature flames contacted the insect swarm, a piercing sound was emitted!

The pitch-black insect cloud instantly charred, crackling as it fell. The air was filled with a charred, foul stench.

The Aburame clan ninja grunted and collapsed on the spot.

Seizing the opportunity, Sora’s figure flashed again. A fierce side kick struck his abdomen, kicking his entire body into a bow shape, sending him crashing like a cannonball into the distant bushes, without another sound.

In the blink of an eye, Sora was like a tiger among sheep. Relying on absolute speed, strength, and defense, along with occasional weakened "Boro Breath" and super strength fists and feet coated with Lightning Release, he utterly overwhelmed this elite Root squad!

Root ninjas kept falling, either killed by a single punch, bones shattered by a dragon tail swipe, or paralyzed by Lightning Release before receiving a finishing hand chop.

They cooperated seamlessly, their ninjutsu and occasionally even sealing technique chains would entangle Sora’s body, but all were forcibly broken by Sora!

Before an absolute disparity in power, all tactics and coordination seemed pale and powerless!
