BOOM!

Looking at the destroyed Water Dragon, Mei and the others who were observing the battle from a distance sighed with a relieved breath.

Just now when they saw that the Water Dragon even absorbed the terrifying Bijuudama, they were really panicked, after all, they could feel that the Jutsu used by the Mizukage was extremely strong, and yet it was proven to be ineffective against the Water Dragon Jutsu of Suijin.

Ao muttered with a shocked expression, "Just how strong is that guy?"

Even Mei had to nod her head, "I never expected Mizukage sama to be so strong, not to mention, Suijin of the Amatsukami has been able to keep up with him…"

Heki asked, "But now that Mizukage sama has revealed the Sanbi completely, he should be able to defeat Suijin. Right?"

Mei said while clenching her mist, "Mizukage sama must win."

…

"To think you were able to overpower even this Jutsu? It appears that I must take things seriously now." Suijin said with a surprised tone.

Yagura asked with an incredulous expression, "Do you still have something up your sleeve?"

Suijin nodded, "Of course, this is something I have come up with not long ago, although this form is not complete yet, however, I think I will give it a try."

Yagura snorted, "Humph, no matter what you use, I will still kill you here!"

Suijin chuckled, "Heh, don't be so sure, I think you are in for a rude awakening."

With that said, Suijin thought, 'Although Ryuumyaku is still in the process of Evolution, I think it would be fine to tests the changes for some preliminary experimentation, so merging Ryuumyaku with me and taking chakra from it for this new Jutsu that I managed to acquire should be alright…'

And without waiting any longer Suijin started.

The first thing he did was to lift the Ryuumyaku Seal and allowed the Ryuumyaku Chakra to flow inside him.

As Suijin felt the Ryuumyaku Chakra entering inside him, he also felt his consciousness inside his own subconscious plane.

…

Suijin's Subconscious Plane.

[You are still not ready for the Sennin Transformation Suijin.] said a young woman who appeared to be in her later teens to Suijin. The woman has chin-length blond hair, along with a pair of purple horns on both sides of her head. She is wearing a sleeveless white and grey robe along with a golden tiara and tomoe-shaped blue earrings.

Suijin looked at the woman in front of him and said, [I know Toyotama-hime, as such, I want to try what I discussed with you the last time. I think it would work perfectly in this situation.]

[Are you sure Suijin?] the woman, named Toyotama-hime asked again, for confirmation.

Suijin nodded, [Yes, this is a good opportunity to test that form, since the fight with Karatachi Yagura is not a life and death battle, as such I want to test the limits of that form.]

Toyotama nodded after a bit of silence, but also added a warning [Alright, but you do need to understand that if the Natural Energy in your system exceeds what your body can bear, it will damage you. I don't think I need to remind you of what happened the last time, right? It was only because Ichikishima-hime sucked out all the Natural Energy out of your biological system in a timely manner that you managed to gain back your human form. And since, you can not summon her from the Ryuchi Cave at this moment. Therefore, you must show some restraint.]

Suijin nodded, [I think it will be alright with your help, keep the Natural Energy in my body in check and make sure that I am not overloaded.]

Toyotama nodded, [Alright, I was created for this purpose, I shall make sure that Natural Energy in your system does not exceed what you can not handle.]

Suijin nodded [Very good]

Toyotama asked [By the way, which form do you want to use?]

Suijin removed his mask, and said with a smirk, [Kuraokami]

Toyotama nodded and without any more questions, she started to prepare for Kuraokami to appear in the Shinobi world, all while Suijin thought to himself about why he created Toyotama-hime.

Toyotama-hime is an existence created by Kuroto as a consciousness for the Ryuumyaku. Toyotama's appearance is actually that of Samui of Kumogakure along with several other dragon characteristics. The reason for this similar appearance is also very simple, It is because Kuroto created her from the soul of Samui he extracted from her body.

The purpose of creating Toyotama-hime is also very simple, over time Kuroto has come to understand that he needs to solve the problem of Natural energy Invasion, but he has been unable to learn Sennin Mode so solving the problem of Petrification seems to have become a distant thought. But because he can't spare much effort because of the pressure of Akatsuki, especially Nagato, as such, he decided to give Ryuumyaku intelligence.

As such Samui, a.k.a Toyotama-hime came into the picture.

But even if Kuroto created her to solve this issue, there was still a problem, and that was the fact that Samui did not have any knowledge of Natural Energy or Senjutsu while she was alive, and that's where Ichikishima-hime came into the picture. Ichikishima-hime is one of the snake priestesses of the Ryuchi Cave who is a direct subordinate of the White Snake Sage.

Signing a summoning contract with her was rather easy. As a necessary condition for signing summon contract with her Kuroto had to pass her Genjutsu test, and also agree to her condition by allowing her to sometimes eat some of his as well as Ryuumyaku's Chakra both of which she found to be rather delicious because of their purity or high density of Natural Energy. Kuroto did not have any problem with her condition because having her as a summon solved quite a lot of problems, the advantages far outweighed the disadvantages for him so he agreed. Of course, Kuroto made sure that Shisui used Kotoamatsukami on her so that she keeps all her agreement with Kuroto a secret, this was done to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In addition to her, Kuroto also signed a summoning contract with Aoda, another Snake Summon of the Ryuchi Cave. Aoda is also a Snake Summon as powerful as Manda and Garaga, Ichikishima-hime is no weaker than Aoda, as such Kuroto now has quite a good amount of collection of Summon.

Anyway, after Kuroto made Ichikishima a loyal Snake Summon, he extracted her memories regarding Senjutsu, studied it himself, and also planted those memories along with a few others inside Samui, thus giving birth to Toyotama-hime who is well versed in Snake Senjutsu, and Snake Sennin Mode.

And that's how we have come to this point.

(Translator's Note: From here on out, Ryuumyaku will be renamed to Toyotama/Toyotama-hime.)

…

Back to the Real World

After his conversation with Toyotama, Suijin clapped both his hands and allowed Toyotama-hime to aide him, the moment Suijin clapped both of his hands together the Ice Armor on his body disappeared.

And Toyotama started to direct her Chakra inside Suijin and controlled the flow of Natural Energy inside Suijin's body. With the flow of Natural energy, Suijin's body started to change, to be more exact, it started to morph, from that of a human to something that wasn't a human.

Initially, bluish-white scales started to emerge from his skin, then a pair of horns appeared on both sides of his head, the next moment a tail started to sprout behind his back, and even the shape and size of his two pair of limbs was altered along with the rest of his body soon following suit.

Overall, when the transformation was completed, the size of his body changed and grew longer and longer, a pair of wings on both sides of the now elongated body appeared, in addition to a pair of golden horns on both sides of his head, one horn grew from his forehead, and his nose also elongated and sharpened akin to a blade.

The new form appeared to be an eastern dragon, or perhaps more accurately a water and ice dragon, with bluish-white scales, and a pair of flippers like wings. He also had water coiling around his dragon body and a floating sea above his head.

ROAR!
