Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 277: Shunshin Enma

"Su...success."

Guy looked at Sora, who was enveloped in blue steam, his eyes filled with shock.

Might Duy also nodded slightly, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Sora’s process of opening the Seventh Gate was even smoother than he had anticipated. That violent chakra, though surging, seemed restrained by an even more powerful force, showing no signs of going out of control.

’Is it because of his special Kekkei Genkai and physique? Truly extraordinary.’

Under the shade of a distant tree, Tagitsuhime’s delicate body trembled slightly, and a look of shock appeared on her face again. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

’Again... this time it’s blue steam? The presence feels even stronger than when that green jumpsuit man opened it.’

Feeling the scorching chakra that seemed to burn the soul, her evaluation of Sora in her heart couldn’t help but rise once more.

After adapting to the immense power and strain brought by the Seventh Gate, Sora looked at Might Duy.

"Duy-senpai, please instruct me in Morning Peacock and Daytime Tiger."

"Alright."

Might Duy didn’t mince words either. "The key to Morning Peacock lies in extreme speed and chakra friction. Watch closely."

He opened the Gate of Wonder again, his fists becoming a blur.

Ultra-high-speed strikes caused his chakra and the air to violently rub against each other, erupting into a sky full of flame shockwaves resembling a peacock’s tail feathers.

Sora focused and observed, then imitated.

Bolstered by his powerful physique, his fist speed was even faster.

"Morning Peacock."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Countless flaming fist shadows poured out like a fierce storm, covering a large area ahead, the air distorting from the heat.

"Excellent."

"Next is Daytime Tiger. The key lies in compression and shaping. Use the extreme power and speed brought by the Gate of Wonder to compress the air, imagine the form of a ferocious tiger, and then... release."

Sora held his breath and concentrated, mobilizing the immense power brought by the Seventh Gate.

"Daytime Tiger."

He thrust his fists out fiercely.

Roar.

A white tiger, no smaller in size than the one Might Duy had unleashed earlier, charged out ferociously.

Its tiger eyes glared angrily, pouncing towards the distant mountain wall with an unstoppable momentum.

Boom.

Another earth-shaking, mountain-trembling roar.

As the dust settled, another huge crater appeared on the mountain wall. Its depth and area were slightly larger than the one caused by Might Duy.

Might Duy carefully examined the two craters, stroking his chin.

"The power is strong. Even a bit more destructive than my Daytime Tiger. Sora, your physique is a huge advantage. However..."

He changed his tone, pointing out the problem.

"The form is not condensed enough. The efficiency of energy utilization is not as good as mine."

"Look at the destruction you caused. The area is larger, but the force is somewhat dispersed. The destruction I caused is more concentrated, with greater penetrating power."

"This shows your control over air compression and shaping still needs more practice to become proficient."

Sora nodded, understanding in his heart.

Might Duy achieved that level of control through countless years of arduous training and deep understanding of the Eight Gates. For him to achieve such power right from the start with his physique advantage was already remarkable. Proficiency indeed needed time to hone.

However, even so, these two consecutive huge commotions.

Especially the white Daytime Tiger Sora performed, which was even more powerful, had completely alerted the entire Konoha camp.

"What’s happening? Enemy attack."

"What a terrifying explosion. It came from the training grounds."

"Hurry, go check."

Countless ninja rushed out of their tents, heading towards the training ground.

When they arrived, they happened to see Sora, with substantial blue steam swirling around him, slowly withdrawing his aura.

And the two huge craters on the distant mountain wall.

"It’s Azure Dragon-sama."

"That commotion just now... was it made by Azure Dragon-sama."

"What kind of technique is that? A taijutsu? That’s too terrifying."

Among the crowd, there were ninja who had seen Sora fight the Third Raikage on the Kumogakure front. Now, they gasped in shock, exclaiming involuntarily.

"That move just now... that white tiger. Its power probably isn’t inferior to the ’Thunderclap Eight Trigrams’ Azure Dragon-sama used when fighting the Third Raikage."

"Taijutsu... can it actually reach such a heaven-and-earth-shaking level."

All Konoha ninja, whether familiar with Sora or not, now stood where they were.

Looking at the figure in the center of the training ground emanating a heart-stopping presence, and the devastated mountain wall, their hearts were filled with incomparable shock.

...

Early morning the next day.

Sora came to the training ground early, continuing to discuss the details of performing "Daytime Tiger" with Might Duy.

Just as the two were deeply engrossed in their discussion, familiar voices came from the training ground entrance.

"Father. Sora."

Might Guy led his two teammates over.

One wore the Uchiha clan’s signature high-collared short sleeves, with handsome features and eyes carrying an unconcealable arrogance. It was Uchiha Ryota.

The other had a senbon in the corner of his mouth, with a somewhat lazy demeanor. It was Genma Shiranui.

"Oh. Guy. Ryota. Genma. Your youth is also burning so early."

Might Duy gave a thumbs up, flashing his bright white teeth.

"Duy-senpai. Sora."

Uchiha Ryota nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Sora for an extra moment.

Genma Shiranui also lazily raised his hand in greeting.

Sora had a good impression of these two.

Uchiha Ryota, though tsundere, was not bad at heart. Their relationship had eased a lot after going through hardship together last time.

Genma Shiranui was a sensible person, easy to get along with.

"What brings you here." Sora asked.

Guy patted his chest, answering.

"Our squad received a new mission. We’re heading east to support the front line confronting Kirigakure. We came to say goodbye to you, father, and Sora."

"The Kirigakure front."

Sora’s heart stirred.

It would be a good opportunity to return to the Ascension Island base, check on Nonō and the others casually. Also, he still needed to go to the Land of Water.

"Actually, I also have some tasks that need handling in that area."

Sora pondered for a moment, then said. "If you don’t mind, I can travel with you for part of the way."

"Really. That’s great."

Guy said excitedly.

Having a powerful companion like Sora would significantly boost their sense of security for the mission.

Uchiha Ryota and Genma Shiranui naturally had no objections either.

After things were settled, the squad made some brief preparations and set off in the morning, heading towards the eastern border of the Land of Fire.

...

On the road, Sora naturally walked up beside Uchiha Ryota, asking casually.

"Ryota, have you received any news from your brother lately."

"It seems he has gained quite a title."

Mentioning his brother, a flash of pride appeared in Uchiha Ryota’s eyes, though his face remained expressionless.

"Yes, my brother has been very active on the battlefield."

Uchiha Ryota said. "Not long after your ’Konoha’s Azure Dragon’ title spread, my brother also gained the title ’Shunshin Enma’ due to his outstanding performance in several key missions."

"Shunshin Enma..."

Sora was speechless. Wasn’t this Uchiha Shisui’s future title.

But this title, full of murderous aura and a sense of speed, must be closely related to Uchiha Takumi’s unknown Mangekyo Sharingan technique.

To gain such a reputation on the battlefield, that pair of eyes had probably been used extensively.
