16. Merging With Void & Time To Create a Kamehameha

Ryusei glanced at his team, who were already immersed in their training, adapting to the energies of the Void and Time with increasing fluidity. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Anon had found their rhythm, sparring and experimenting with their chakra, Void, and Time abilities. They had come a long way in understanding how these forces complemented each other, and Ryusei could see their progress in every move they made.

"Continue with your training," Ryusei called out to them, his voice calm but resolute. "If you're up for it, spar with each other and push your limits. I have something I need to work on as well—a new jutsu inspired by being here."

He saw them nod in response, their focus unbroken, before he turned and walked to a secluded spot, away from their immediate view. The unique energies of the Void of Time had been stirring something deep within him, awakening a dormant power he had yet to fully explore. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes, and allowed the fusion of Time and Void to wash over him, feeling it pulse and flow through his chakra network. The energy here was potent, transformative, and it seemed to be calling to the primal parts of his soul.

Ryusei began to channel his chakra, focusing on the techniques he'd studied in his Dragon Sage Mode. This power had been with him for a while, but it always felt like there was more to uncover, hidden beneath the surface. The sage energy flowed through him, the sensation both familiar and new, and he allowed it to expand, letting the Void of Time merge with the sage chakra. He could feel the scales forming on his arms, a faint shimmer of green and pink, representing the duality of nature and his newfound powers. But today, he felt something deeper, something far more profound.

As the Dragon Sage Mode activated, he felt a tugging at the base of his spine—a sensation he hadn't felt in years. His Saiyan tail, once severed, seemed to be responding to the energies around him. Ryusei knelt down, his breathing slow and steady, as he directed his chakra toward the area, sensing the Void of Time's influence merging with his body's natural regenerative abilities.

The power of the Void allowed him to tap into the essence of existence and non-existence, where nothing was truly gone, only dormant. He focused, visualizing the tail as it had once been, and allowed his body to remember. Slowly, he felt a tingling sensation at the base of his spine, a faint pulse that grew stronger with each passing moment. He could feel the Void filling the gaps, regenerating tissue, mending muscle and bone, guided by his intent. The Time element seemed to accelerate the process, bending reality to accommodate his will.

He gritted his teeth, the sensation both strange and painful, as he directed more energy to the area. The Void was consuming his chakra, merging with the Dragon Sage power coursing through him, and it felt as if he were pulling the tail back from another dimension. The regeneration wasn't just physical; it was a return of something lost, a piece of himself that he had thought gone forever. He had tapped into the primal Saiyan energy within him, his heritage responding to the forces he now wielded.

With a final surge of energy, the tail reemerged, twitching as it completed its growth. Ryusei felt a rush of strength and familiarity as he flexed it, the appendage swaying behind him, heavier and denser than before. It was as though the tail had returned not just as it was, but with new resilience, adapted to the energies of both the Void and Time. He could feel the power emanating from it, a connection to his Saiyan bloodline that ran deeper than any transformation he had previously achieved.

Ryusei rose to his feet, the tail instinctively coiling around his waist as he assessed his transformed state. The Dragon Sage scales shimmered along his arms, and he could feel the energies amplifying his senses, heightening his awareness of the Void of Time. Every sound, every vibration in the air felt magnified, as if he were attuned to the very fabric of the realm itself. The Void seemed to pulse in sync with his heartbeat, while Time flowed around him, bending and stretching with his every breath.

He reached behind him, grasping his tail and feeling its strength, its potential. The appendage was more than just an extension of his body—it was a conduit for power, a reminder of his heritage, and a tool that could amplify his abilities. He could sense that the tail, infused with the energies of the Void and Time, would enhance his transformations, allow him to draw upon his Saiyan instincts more effectively. The potential seemed limitless.

As he released the tail, he clenched his fists, feeling the combined power of the Dragon Sage Mode, the Saiyan blood, and the energies of the Void and Time swirling within him. He felt stronger, more complete, as if he had reclaimed a piece of himself that he hadn't known he needed. The Void of Time had offered him the chance not only to regain his tail but to elevate his abilities, to evolve beyond what he had thought possible.
