Light Dragon (4)

Boomx5!

The roof was cracked with debris and dust falling.

Damned humans!

Just as he said that, the roof was blasted with another explosion.

BOOM!!!

Shou and Kuroma dodged the falling debris. While the dragon just stands there and let the debris repelled by his chakra aura alone.

Deidara and Tobi had sensed the enormous chakra inside. They couldn't find a way in though and Deidara just blasted mount koryu and paved his way inside.

"Deidara senpai! Look at that! So huge! Is it a tailed beast!? But there's only one tail and one tail isn't like this!".

'There's another people as well'. Deidara replied. He zoomed in with his mechanical eye to see a cute pretty girl, probably 13 years old or so.

Her face, IS ART!!! He blushed a little with excitement seeing Shou's face. He wants to capture it in a clay form, and make it explode! This will be the greatest art! There's also another guy who seems angry with his brow like that. He ignored him since it's insignificant compared to the walking art piece next to him.

Tobi eyed Shou specifically, his chakra colour seems so familiar... This cold colour... No. It's impossible. Such a girl cannot be the one who defeated him! His pride and arrogance prevents him to see what's obvious. Imagine having someone that cute rasengan-ed you to the back, technically killed you and forced you to use your trump card! It's so infuriating!

Shou had sweat dropping down neck.

Akatsuki had noticed and already sent people here. And those two... Deidara and Tobi!?

Why he had to meet Obito again!?

"So, do we report back to leader first?".

'Senpai, let's blow him up!'.

"Hahaha! Tobi, you do understand art don't you!? Hm!".

Deidara put both his hands into his pockets, preparing to mould the clay with explosion release.

Shou can see they are preparing and quickly warned the dragon.

"Ryu-san, he will attack with explosives!".

Hmph. Insignificant.

The dragons snorted and wait.

Shou does not have enough chakra for a full blown battle and quietly sneaked under the dragon. Kuroma also followed Shou quietly. The dragon don't care it seems.

"Tch. The girl gets under the dragon... Too bad. Go! Show them the beauty of explosion! Hm!".

He sent many dragon shaped clay towards the dragon.

Hmph.

The dragon snorted and roared, channeling a chakra cloak all around himself.

Katsu!

BOM BOOM BOOM!!! Crack!

The cloak visibly cracked.

"Senpai! It's really strong!".

"Let it taste my C3 then! Hm!".

He sent an angel looking clay from above. It keeps expanding as it gets down.

"Ryu-san! Just shoot it down quick!".

The dragon actually find that make sense. An orb of light is formed in front of the dragon, and from it a straight white beam shoots right at the clay!

"Senp-!". Tobi was about to tell Deidara to be careful; but the beam is too fast he couldn't even finish his sentence.

The beam hit the C3 mid air, and it caused a huge explosion damaging the clay bird making Deidara almost lose control of his bird!

"Damn it!!!". Deidara was steering the bird around with difficulty while Tobi was hanging by its tail flailing around.

"Senpai!!! Helppp!!!! I am gonna fall!!!!".

'Damn it Tobi!!!! Just fall and die!!'.

The dragon also received a little of the explosion but his barrier though cracked it still withstands it.

Hmph. These human dares!

"Senpai! I am- I am fallinggggggg... Aaaa.." Tobi voice was cut down as he fell from the bird for real. Deidara cursed but he can't do anything since his bird is damaged and he had to crash down as well.

After few seconds, another explosion is heard out of Mount Koryu, presumably Deidara bird exploded upon crash landing.

"Ryu-san! Careful!". Shou called out sensing Obito chakra right in front of his head!

Hmm?

Out of nowhere, Tobi appeared right in front!

Human!

The light dragon roared. With power of light, ten of rays shoot out to Obito as it dares to stand on its head. It's speed is too much to dodge but it simply passed Obito as expected.

"Light speed attack...".

Obito observed the area hit was scorched a little. It's basically a high energy beam, much like being hit with a flame. It might not be lethal if he take one or two directly. But if he's bathed in many of them he would turn to dust in his estimation. Such power... He never have seen this kind of kekkei genkai.

This power, he definitely wants it!

Before the dragon can react nor process how the human is fine, the red eye with a black shuriken-like shape glowed, instantly make him feel dizzy and lost control of himself as he was looking into it directly.

He felt his consciousness trapped, as if his body no longer belongs to him!

"It's futile to resist you beast. Now, you belongs to me!". Tobi said in Madara's voice.

You!!!

Shou sees the eyes of the dragon turned into a Sharingan, signifying he is captured in a genjutsu! S***.

Unseal- Azusa Bow!

"Ryu-san!!! Hold on!".

The ethreal bow take forms. He channeled his chakra, and plucked the string to produce the unique tonish sound!

Wooongg..!!

The pinkish chakra from the bow gently flowed out as it vibrated, engulfing the light dragon in its light.

"What is this?". Tobi felt something is wrong. It's quite peaceful hearing it but that's not the point.

His control is losing!?

The Light Dragon snapped back to reality after the sounds stabilise his mind and break the genjutsu.

You dare control me!?

The dragon roared and conjured more little orbs of light that shoots light rays to him. Obito once again let it pass through.

"That person... He had a strange weapon that can dispel even a mangekyou genjutsu. I need to take him out first!". Obito thought with his big brain.

Obito dissappeared and appear right behind Shou!

The dragon also sensed it and was about to tell him, but there's no need since Shou quickly flickered away before he could be touched.

"Fast reaction... A sensor?".

Kuroma sees this is an enemy for sure and use a Fire tag, releasing a fireball towards him.

Obito let it pass through again casually.

"Damn it, what is this ability!?".

'Its useless. No matter what you throw at me, you can never harm me'. Obito calmly said.

Shou don't feel confident with his chakra amount currently. Damn it why Obito always come when he's not at full chakra?

Ice Release: Demonic Ice Mirroring Crystal!

Ten of mirrors formed in the area sparsely around Obito.

"This technique!? Yuki clan!?". Obito had to accept the reality that this cute girl is the one who had almost killed him then! What a coincidence they met here!

Shou move between the mirrors close to light speed and shoot the purple-pink chakra arrow!

"Useless!". Obito can sense the chakra from his blind spot and let it pass through.

But-

"FUCKKK!!!". Upon hit, he stumbled backward and fell to his knees. The pain coursing inside his chest, as if his lung and bone is pierced through!

"Why can't I dodge it! What, what is this!?".

Obito was sweating inside his mask, he felt, fear ever since a long time.

This person is his worst enemy! Light speed movements with the ice mirrors, and a weapon capable of ignoring his phasing power and even dispel genjutsu!?

How come!?

Shou sees it's effective. Probably because Obito manipulate his physical body to other dimension, but his soul remains in the real dimension unless he fully absorbed himself physically.

Shou checked the chakra he had, and he can only shoot 20 arrows or so probably. But that's far from enough. The arrows don't even deal lethal damage and takes a lot of chakra. Obito already know about how his ice mirrors work, and he would probably just keep his phasing ability on waiting for the right opportunity so Shou does not dare to attack physically up close.

Shou move between mirror to mirror and throw Kunai and shurikens from Obito's blind spot.

The light dragon and Kuroma also helped by shooting some projectiles into him but it passes through him.

Just as a Kunai is about to hit him, Shou shoot the chakra arrow with perfect timing!

Whooosh~

The arrow hit his shoulder, causing him to whimper! The Kunai that's few centimetres away from him actually managed to pierce through his skin, causing him to bleed from his thigh!

S***. I lost my control when the arrow hit me!

Obito is crazed with madness and anger. This brat is too much! It's so unfair!!!

Obito use his big brain to come up with a solution immediately!

Wood Release!! RAHHHH!!!!!

His right side of body suddenly burst out and forms into trees and woods bursting out of himself!

Shou was a little unprepared and has come out of the mirror to dodge, but the speed at which the trees grow is too much! The mirrors are all destroyed all at once, and it continued growing and manage to slap Shou in the chest, sending him flying.

Kuroma does not do fine either and was in a similar situation, slapped by a growing tree.

The dragon was tied up by bunch of trees around it, and felt his power was absorbed by it and was used to supply it's power! He can't muster chakra to release himself from the woods!

Shou was coughing out blood from his chest.

Damn...

He didn't expect the trees would grow so fast... And he was hit at a vital spot. He felt one of his lungs was injured severely. If it had been his arm or legs it should have been fine but this...

Obito had used a lot of chakra for that attack and half of his body is wrecked from turning into them into trees.

"To force me to this extent...". Obito panted a little. But, it's worth it!

Obito walked menacingly towards Shou who's laying against the wall, confident about his winning. To think this person is just a little girl. He never felt so offended in his entire life.

Kuroma who's still alive sees Obito approaching Shou tried to help by using more Elemental Tags, but it's futile as it just pass through him.

Obito looked down on Shou, glaring at him with anger and a mocking smile.

"You are strong for a little girl. You should be proud to force me to this point!".

'I am... a guy...'. Shou said so while coughing out blood.

Obito is stunned for a second and had to look at his face again. It's too cute? Is he lying to me to delay time!? Obito felt his heart twisted from the revelation.

Is this the end?

That thought crossed Shou's mind. But no, he won't just die like this. Not like this! He gritted his teeth. With a single hand seals, he use a technique.

Water Release: Water Wave!

Shou released large amount of water towards Obito from his mouth, but it passes through him as usual. It floods the area around them forming puddles in the craters here and there.

"It's useless to struggle. I will kill you, right here and right now. Be thankful for my mercy".

Obito was about to finish him off with a Kunai, but just as the Kunai is few centimetres away from his face, the puddles surrounding him exploded and forms sharp spikes of ice growing outwardly!

Obito's hand was pierced by some ice, causing him to retreat in anger.

"No hand seal!?". He felt he had underestimate this gir- boy too many times. Some drops of blood fell onto the ground from his hand.

Damn it... I don't have enough chakra...

Shou planned to finish him off with the surprise counterattack. But he's out of chakra and can't form more powerful spikes.

Obito kept his distance and watched carefully. But he can see with his Sharingan, his chakra is already very low, close to exhausted fully!

Hahahah!

"You are out of chakra aren't you. And your lung is injured, you must be out of breath right now. Now, you can die!".

Obito rushed in with a Kunai intending to end him.

But suddenly a chakra barrier blocked him and send him flying backward. He didn't phase through it since the barrier just pop out of nowhere cathching him off guard.

Shou's weak aura gradually strengthen, his chakra which is empty exploded in volume. At the same time the Light Dragon was shining with brilliant light, and that light enters Shou's body!

***

Just before Obito rushed in, the Light Dragon communicates with Shou in the subconcious space.

You will die like this. And I too, would be captured after that.

"I know...". Shou replied. He messed up big times. He didn't expect the Akatsuki, and Obito at that would come so fast. He fought continuously against 5 elemental dragons, against Kuroma, and a little against the Light Dragon. He tried to conserve as much chakra as he could and be efficient, but alas, his chakra is still limited.

You need my power. And I need yours in this situation. We will settle the terms later. But for now, I agree to be your jinchuriki! Give me your hand!

Watatsumi held out one of his wing and forms a fist.

Shou look at the light dragon with admiration and a little gratefulness.

"Pleased to work with you, Watatsumi-san!". Shou smiled feeling a little relieved and fist bumped him, forming a connection between themselves.

***

The light dragon turned into light and enters Shou's body. His aura rose multiple levels, causing Obito to be scared shitless.

"The dragon... He becomes the jinchuriki of that beast!?".

More sweat drenched Obito in his clothes. His armpits is already so wet the sweat dripped to his sides feeling his growing power. He don't dare to get close.

The chakra filled Shou's body, forming a little white bubbly white cloak around him. His eyes turned golden in colour with a slit pupil like that if a dragon. It's similar to how when Naruto access Kurama's chakra.

Shou injured chest recovers very quickly as steams and bubbles expulsed out of his wounds and flesh grows out and fix him quickly.

"Watatsumi-san... So this your power... It's so, majestic".

Hmph. Your body is not bad either. And your own chakra quality and thickness is very good, no wonder you lasted so long.

Shou smiled a little, and put down his smile now that Obito is in front of him.

He can fight him with this boost now.

But before he can even weave a single hand sign, Obito had already sucked himself and dissappears right in front of their eyes!

He... He just run away!? Damned human!!!

"What a coward!". Shou said in disdain.

Shou suddenly let out a little laugh, feeling it's quite funny that Obito, being the arrogant guy that he is, actually runs away just like that.

Whats so funny! Go find him now! He must be nearby!

Shou shook his head.

"No. He's inside his own dimension. Unless we can get into his space we can't find him anymore. He is the best at escaping actually".

That annoying? What a cockroach! He dares come to control me, and now he run with his tail tucked between his legs! So shameless! Don't he have honor at all?

"Haha. He always comes at me when I have exhausted my chakra. He's really shameless".

So you fought him before? And he attacked you only when you are exhausted? He's the most shameless human being I have ever seen!

"Haha. Yeah. He definitely is". Obito who's still sweating and shivering sneezed in his Kamui dimension. Damn it! They must be trash talking about me!

Hmph. Now that we are done. Let's settle the contract. But first...

Light ray formed from the air, and it coalesces into a humanoid shape.

Kuroma who was laying on the ground cried out tears seeing the figure appearing.

"Hikari...". Kuroma called out.

Hikari stood there, also in tears. She runs fast towards her brother and crouched down.

"Wuuuu... Nii-san... This is all your fault!".

Hikari pouted and pinched his brother.

"Ouch... Hikari, it hurts... Stop... I am hurt...".

Shou smiled a little seeing them. Well, although everything went wrong a little bit at least they survived, and Watatsumi agreed to let him be his jinchuriki.

Shou went to see Kuroma, remembering he's injured.

"Kuroma-san, are you alright?".

'I am fine... Thank you, Shou. For saving my sister. I did you wrong...'. He stood weakly and bowed his head to head.

"Ahh. No. It's fine it's fine".

Kuroma turned to look at Hikari.

'I am sorry, Hikari'.

Hikari pouted his cheeks.

'Hmph!'.

Kuroma can only stroke the back of his head seeing her reaction.

Let's settle the contract. The dragon sounded.

"Sure".

They entered the subconcious space, and Shou stood face to face against the light dragon.

The unfinished contract appears in golden letters, stating the terms and conditions he presented and what Shou added.

The enemy called Otsutsuki. I will help you eliminate them. I feel much hatred towards them and would be glad to kill them myself. I just don't remember why.

Shou nods. Their goals aligned more than he thought. And Otsutsuki had probably did something to the beings called dragons in this planet.

"About you taking control of my body... Umm... Tell me before you do. Otherwise it might cause problem".

Hmph. I am an honorable dragon. You think I am so rude like you humans?

Shou scratched his cheek. Honestly he felt this might cause problems later on but at least he's not taking his entire body forever.

The dragon being allowed to be in control of a human body at least could experience fresh air and feel their feet walking the earth, so he won't feel suffocated inside the dark gloomy subconscious space. All sealed bijuus would suffocate inside those prisons, that's why he agreed with Shou's proposition of allowing him to take over when he wants. Shou is probably the nicest, most reasonable jinchuriki in existence in his mind. The terms and conditions are favourable. Not to mention, he can absorb his soul and body if he failed to do what he promised. Therefore he don't mind working with him with everything considered.

Tell me about this Otsutsuki.

Shou nods and tells him what he knows. About divine tree, the chakra fruit, Kaguya, ECT.

I see... Then, perhaps it's possible my memories are altered...

The conversarion ended, the contract is done, and now they are contracted partners for real.

"Watatsumi-san, how much fraction of your power can I handle actually?".

By yourself, 30%. Any more your body would collapse on itself gradually. You won't survive if it exceeds 60% in my estimation.

"That little?". Shou felt a little sad.

But, if I help control your output, you could exert at most 80 to 90% of my power without injuring yourself.

"Wow...".

Shou felt a little coquettish, wanting to ask him something quite unreasonable at this time. He fiddled his fingers, before asking.

"Watatsumi-san... Can I test your full power?(⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)". Shou felt quite embarassed. But he wants to know how it feels like!

Hmph. Fine.

White chakra exploded out from Shou's body, causing Hikari and Kuroma to stand back further away. White transparent irregular white chakra envelopes Shou's body. It grows thicker and thicker. It forms a more definite shape, forming claws around his hands and feets. There's even an outline of horns on his forehead. Wait, there's actual horns growing!

Silver scales also starts to grow here and there. Some covered his neck. His claws grow sharper and his skin felt tougher. He even felt he had fangs growing in his mouth. The chakra cloak also forms a bubbly chakra wings on his back.

The dragon exert his full power while controlling the output.

Shou's aura rose by multiple levels, the debris and gravel floated on the ground. The white translucent chakra cloak becomes more solid and thick, his belt was untied and become a part of his chakra wings, his yukata opened up, coated with thick white chakra with black lines forming patterns covering Shou's whole body. Damn. I look so damn cool!

This is basically equivalent to KCM! Shou felt drunk with power and does not believe he jumped straight to this.

He played around and let the power flows inside him. Shou even felt his body had access to 5 primary nature and Yin release! And a little bit of Yang release.

He moved his chakra, merging all of the chakra attribute together.

"Kekkei Mora??". Shou exclaimed in surprise.

You have great chakra control.

Even Watatsumi is impressed seeing a black object forming while Shou is trying to control all of the different attribute chakra. The black irregular object however disintegrated as Shou struggled to form it.

The Yang nature in his control is very lacking and cause it to be very unstable. Or rather, the dragon itself lacks Yang nature attribute. It's because he lacks his true body and therefore the Yang part of himself is missing.

The dragon still nods in approval. His affinity with Shou is higher than he expected. Or rather, his affinity with natural energy is high and him, a being made of 100% natural energy is naturally fit with him.

Shou thought about the dragon for a second. Watatsumi was separated into 5 Elemental dragons, naturally, he must be able to use all 5 attributes. And that extends to even Yin and Yang! No wonder he called himself Dragon King! It's just that the Yang part must be his physical body...

"Watatsumi-san. Your power is amazing!".

Shou look at himself with white chakra cloak and cool cloth patterns. Heck he even had some flowy chakra wings on his back that he could retract and expand. He skipped a bunch of steps in one fell swoop because Watatsumi cooperated with him fully. Plus between him and Watatsumi there's no seal blocking his power from reaching Shou.

It's akin to Naruto unlocking the Kyubi seal completely, while Kurama agreed to work with him fully, and therefore he enters KCM! So Shou jumped straight to KCM equivalent!

Shou had a huge smile feeling the power. He felt like he is already on top of Shinobi world with this. It's just that there's a contract he signed with his blood and let the dragon use his body when he wants... But the downside is not that bad thinking about it.

Shou began to experiment. He pointed his finger at a wall, and use the unique kekkei genkai of the dragon.

Light Release: Light Beam!

A 3 cm wide white laser shoots out from his finger, scorching the wall with its high energy.

He can feel this kekkei genkai, or rather, Kekkei Tota is basically a combination of Lighting, Fire, and Yin attribute. The power to control photons? Shou thought in his head while feeling the chakra used to make the white laser.

Hmm? He had an idea.

Ice Mirrors!

Few ice mirrors are conjured.

Light Beam!

The light is reflected of the surface of the mirrors and finally scorched the wall at the side!

Amazing! Shou felt delighted. Who would have thought this Light Release has a synergy with his ice mirror.

Kuroma and Hikari thought they were dreaming seeing such strong aura from him and the majestic looking pure white outfit and chakra surrounding him. Not to mention the jutsu he just used. Thats the light dragon power wasn't it?

"Shou-san, what's going on?". Hikari held his brother while walking towards him.

'The light dragon is inside me now! And look. Your horns and markings are gone'. Shou pointed at their heads.

Hikari is stunned for a second. She touched her head and found them dissappeared. She shed a little tear, finally, she's free to be anywhere she wants without being rejected.

Kuroma also felt touched. It's as if, their problems had been solved. It's just that... Is it fine for Shou to be like this?

"Won't you... Get consumed like Hikari?".

'No worry. Me and him are contracted... Partners(?)'.

Hmph. The dragon snorted from inside. Not sure whether he approves of the word partner or not.

Kuroma and Hikari let out a sigh of relief hearing that.

"Kuroma-san, Hikari-san, do you know where the dragon body is?". Shou naturally would want to fulfill his promise. Even if the body is found earlier, the dragon has agreed to stay in him with the contract until the external threats are eliminated.

They both look at each other and dig deeper inside their brains to fetch relevant memories. But they shook their heads.

'I have never heard of it. I thought... The dragon already has a body?'. Kuroma is quite confused.

Shou explained briefly about the dragon's situation.

But the siblings shook their heads since they didn't know anything about it.

"That's too bad... If even the Ryu clan descendant doesn't know, who would know?". Shou felt it's a big problem.

'Maybe this mountain also have other secrets'. Hikari spoke his thoughts.

'We can also re-search the remains of the Ryu Clan'. Kuroma added.

"Alright. Lets search it tomorrow! I am really tired. Haih....". Shou sat down on the ruined floor. He's really tired and felt so exhausted. The dragon pulled back his power, undoing the transformation.

Everyone camped after walking a Kilometers away from Mount Koryu since someone might investigate there.

Resting under the starry sky, Shou felt quite excited about all this and wants to tell Haku about his success, well, sort of. In fact if he forcefully seals Watatsumi inside him he don't think he would co-operate like this. So it's really not a bad deal. Now... He remembers a huge problem.

What if people in Kiri sensed it in him? He put that problem aside first and sleep the whole day. There's also the fact that Obito must hate him so much right now. He won't assassinate him while he's sleeping right? Right?
