Bzzt… Crackle… crackle…
Arcs of deep blue lightning jump around his entire body. Sasuke opens his eyes and lightning flicker through them. He raises his hand in the air and releases a powerful bolt of lightning in the sky.
RUMBLE… RUMBLE…
A gigantic vortex of clouds appears in the sky. A gigantic pillar of lightning originates from the cloud to Sasuke's hands.
ROAR…
A gigantic blue lightning wolf jumps out of the clouds. The gigantic wolf has white lightning as its mane and there are purple horns on its forehead.
AWOO…
The gigantic lightning wolf releases a roar from the clouds.
Crackle… crackle… Bzzt…
Multiple lightning bolts flash around the gigantic wolf.
"Amazing!"
The hairs of everyone on the deck rise upwards. Kakashi opens his palm and notices small bolts of purple lightning flickering in between them.
"My lightning chakra is growing restless from this jutsu. Amazing! If I didn't have a certain level of control over my chakra, then I am afraid my chakra might have gone out of my control and become a part of this jutsu. There is no doubt about it, this jutsu is an S-Rank jutsu. From my estimation, it's almost on par with Naruto's Rasenshuriken." Kakashi voices his verdict.
"No, it's a bit stronger than Naruto's Rasenshuriken." Minato shakes his head.
"Even though Rasenshuriken is a pinnacle of Nature and Shape transformation, there is a limit to its power. After inserting a certain amount of chakra, the jutsu burdens the body of the user. And as more chakra is added to it, there is a possibility of the jutsu backfiring on the user due to its inability to maintain its shape. This limitation could be overcome by adding another nature transformation to the jutsu. Adding another nature transformation will compress the density of the chakra and make it more potent and relatively easy to manipulate. However, such a feat is almost impossible to achieve."
Minato shakes his head.
"NO! There was someone else who was able to do it." Tsunade interrupts him.
"Izuna!" Mei murmurs.
"Yes, he has already achieved the impossible," Minato recalls the powerful jutsu Izuna released to combat the member of the Otsutsuki clan.
"However, the amount of burden such a jutsu exerts on the body is far greater than the opening of the Eight gates. It's physically impossible for any human to perform such a feat. There is always a cost to use such a grand power." Minato closes his eyes as he recalls the numerous dark red cracks over Izuna's body.
"Perhaps only an immortal or a GOD could use such power!" Tsunade shakes her head.
"Still!" Minato opens his eyes and stares at the gigantic wolf in the sky.
"Sasuke-Kun is able to achieve a similar feat of combining two nature transformations and shape transformation by relying on external help from nature. Since this jutsu is more like a force of nature than the result of the power of an individual, the burden on the body of the user is milder. However, it's still enough to categorize this jutsu as a Forbidden Jutsu."
The group stares at the haggard expression of Sasuke. The purple pigmentation around his eyes slowly disappears and Sasuke adds all of his sage chakra to the jutsu to stabilize it.
Haah…
He lowers his raised hand and brings it down.
SCREE…
The baby Kraken senses the life-threatening danger from Sasuke's jutsu. It attempts to avoid the attack by diving back into the sea.
"You aren't going anywhere!"
Naruto claps his hands.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains,"
He releases multiple orange chakra chains from his stomach. The orange chains wrap around the Kraken and prevent it from diving into the sea.
SCREE…
The Kraken madly exerts pressure on the chains to break free and escape. The powerful pulling force causes Naruto to be sent flying out of the ship.
Splash…
Naruto lands in the sea.
HAAH…
He infuses chakra in his legs and spread it across the surface of the sea to act as an adhesive.
"I won't let you escape so easily."
Swoosh…
Naruto re-enters the Sage Mode to enhance his physical prowess. He grabs the chains and tugs them towards himself to pull the Kraken out of the Sea.
Soon, a game of tug starts between Naruto and the Kraken.
"We will help too"! The rest of the group bombards the Kraken with different jutsu to prevent it from exerting its full power.
"SASUKE! I CAN'T HOLD IT ANY LONGER. THIS THING IS TOO DAMN STRONG!"
Despite all of their efforts, Naruto is slowly getting pulled toward the Kraken.
"I am almost done!"
"Storm Release: Ten Kaminari-ō Raiju," (Storm Release: Heavenly Thunder King Raiju)
Sasuke's eyes turn normal as he infuses all of his chakra and Senjutsu energy into the gigantic pillar of lightning.
ROAR…
The giant Raiju wolf leaps from the sky and aims for the Kraken.
ROAR…
It roars again and engulfs the monster in a massive storm of lightning.
BOOM…
A gigantic pillar of blinding lightning engulfs the area around the Kraken. The group closes their eyes to protect themselves from the extremely piercing light. Multiple arcs of lightning chains through the sea.
Ding… Ding…
The bolt of lightning hits the hull of the ship. The protective barrier around the ship flickers intensely. Sweat trickles down Minato's forehead as he struggles to maintain the barrier all by himself.
"I will lend you some chakra."
Tsunade activates her Strength of a Hundred Seal and transfers a major portion of her stored chakra to Minato. The purple rhombus symbol on her forehead disappears. Minato heaves a sigh of relief and continues to maintain the barrier.
The lightning pillar lasts for another thirty seconds. Everyone opens their eyes as the lightning pillar slowly disperses into the sky. There is a giant gaping hole in the clouds in the sky. The clouds slowly dissipate to reveal a clear sky.
Huff… Huff…
Sasuke lands on the ship while panting.
"Sasuke Nii-san!" Ayaka hurriedly supports him.
"Sasuke!" Sakura also rushes to his aid.
"I… I am a bit exhausted!" Sasuke closes his eyes and falls asleep. Sakura checks his pulse and breathing.
"He is in deep sleep from overexerting his chakra. He will be fine after a good rest."
Phew…
"That was so intense!" Chojuro heaves a sigh of relief. He stares at Naruto and Sasuke in amazement.
'I am slightly older than them, but I am nowhere near them in terms of strength. I must train harder to live up to Lady Mizukage's expectations.'
Ao notices his expression and pats his shoulder.
"Don't compare yourself to the likes of them. They have monstrous talent and on top of that their teacher is the unrivaled number one shinobi of this era. It's fine to envy them, but this should also serve as a motivation for you. Afterall everyone person walks a different path."
"Thank you, Ao-sama!" Chojuro bows to him for his kind words.
"Get some backbone, kid! You will be my superior in the future." Ao chuckles and turns his attention toward the Konoha group.
'Still, Konoha is a place filled with monsters. Every little fellow on this ship will make a name for themselves in the future.'
Whoosh…
Naruto jumps back on the ship. Minato dispels the barrier as the aftermath of the previous jutsu ends.
"What's the situation? Is it dead yet?" The group stares at the position of Kraken.
Swoosh…
The surrounding mist slowly dissipates to reveal a charred corpse of the Kraken floating on the surface of the ocean.
Huff… Huff…
"Finally, it's dead!" Naruto takes deep breaths to calm himself.
"It took us everything to kill this baby Kraken. What would have happened if an adult Kraken showed up?" Naruto dreads the possibility.
"Then, I am afraid, I would have to teleport everyone to safety and our plan to visit the Kage Summit would get postponed." Minato shakes his head.
"What should we do with its remains?" Ayaka enquires.
"Its corpse is a treasure trove of resources. There is too much research value in it to discard it here." Tsunade remarks.
"Why don't we take its body back to Konoha to research, then?" Sakura suggests.
"The problem is, we don't have anything to store it and Minato doesn't have enough chakra to teleport it to Konoha," Tsunade answers her.
"Then let's dissect its body and store it in different scrolls," Mei suggests.
"That's feasible!" Tsunade nod in affirmation.
"Alright, I will guide everyone to dissect the corpse." Tsunade issues various orders to Kakashi, Ao, Izumi, and others.
