Chapter 270: Chapter 270: The Leaf is Shaken, Lord Akira is a Dragon!?
Akira's figure descended from the sky, and the clouds scattered, allowing brilliant golden sunlight to pour down. As the sunlight touched Akira, in his golden dragon form, every single dragon scale on his body seemed to shine brightly.
Noble and powerful-this was the instinctive feeling in the hearts of everyone as they gazed upon the golden dragon before them.
However, with the battle over, there was no longer any need for Akira to remain in his dragon form. His body shifted, returning to its original human form.
He still maintained his human appearance, but the dragon horns remained on his forehead.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were intently focused on Akira.
After today's battle, the news of Akira transforming into a dragon would surely spread quickly throughout the entire shinobi world, right?
And this news would undoubtedly make other factions deeply understand the true strength of the Leaf Village!
Looking back through history, when was the shinobi world most at peace?
There's no need to think too hard-it was during the time when Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage ended the Warring States Period. That was when the shinobi world experienced its most peaceful era.
Why? Because the power of the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara dominated the entire shinobi world, leaving no room for anyone to harbor rebellious thoughts.
Now, with the strength Akira displayed, especially his ability to transform into a dragon, it's likely that he could achieve a similar effect!
"Akira, today's battle was like a stage set for you!" Orochimaru said, speaking to Akira.
"You brat! Who would've thought you could transform into a divine dragon? You almost scared me to death!" This was from Fugaku, who had initially worried that Akira wouldn't be able to handle Urashiki and feared for his safety.
"You let Urashiki escape?" Sasuke walked over, his expression full of regret.
To him, having already defeated Urashiki, this would've been the best opportunity to finish him off!
In any case, even though the Leaf Village had suffered some damage in this attack, the actual losses weren't that great since proper preparations had already been made.
On the contrary, the situation involving Akira would send shockwaves through the entire shinobi world!
"So, this is the true power of the strongest among the Five Great Nations!" Even Roshi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Akira.
"Not only is the Leaf Village strong, but even more so, Lord Akira himself!" Han added from the side.
Indeed, there's no doubt about the strength of the Leaf Village-ten Kage-level fighters. Such strength couldn't even be matched by Iwagakure, or any other village for that matter!
However, the true might lay with Akira. His power alone surpassed that of ten Kage-level fighters combined!
With the battle now over, Akira moved toward Hinata, his main concern being her condition. "Don't worry, Lord Akira. Miss Hinata's injuries aren't serious," a slug the size of an arm said, speaking to Akira as it sat on Hinata's body.
It was clear that ever since Hinata was injured, the slug had been working hard to heal her. "Thank you," Akira said, expressing his gratitude after hearing the slug's words.
"I'm sorry, Akira. I caused you trouble," Hinata said, looking at Akira with the expression of a child who knew they had done something wrong.
She had originally rushed in, hoping to help, but in the end, she didn't provide any assistance and only caused Akira to worry.
Hinata felt incredibly guilty toward Akira.
Akira opened his mouth, originally intending to scold her-not because she caused him trouble, but because she had thrown herself into danger, despite the fact that even he had difficulty handling the situation. He wanted to tell her that next time, she should focus on protecting herself.
Without hesitation, Akira dropped to his knees.
"Are you going to explain this to me? Do you think the Uchiha bloodline isn't good enough, so you decided to become a dragon instead?" his grandfather asked after Akira knelt down.
"No!" Akira immediately shook his head.
"...Then why did you transform into a dragon? Does Uchiha blood still flow within you?" His
grandfather's attitude softened slightly after Akira's quick denial, but he still looked
confused.
"Grandfather, think about it. Even though I transformed into a dragon, I still have the
Sharingan, and it can still evolve into the Mangekyo. How can you say that I no longer have
Uchiha blood?"
Akira protested his innocence and even activated his Sharingan to prove his point!
This made his grandfather pause for a moment. Indeed, it was true.
The Sharingan could be activated and deactivated freely, and it had even evolved into the Mangekyo. This clearly indicated that Akira still possessed Uchiha blood.
"But how can you still have Uchiha blood when your body has turned into a dragon?" After a moment of silence, his grandfather asked, still puzzled.
"Transforming into a dragon is simply an enhancement of my original form, a further
evolution of life itself."
"To put it simply, it's like my Uchiha bloodline has evolved toward that of a divine dragon,
rather than abandoning the Uchiha lineage."
"It's like adding a few extra floors to an existing house, turning it into a building, rather than
demolishing the house and rebuilding a tower."
Akira explained, using a metaphor.
The analogy was easy to understand, and his grandfather finally grasped Akira's point.
"Alright, get up. The floor's cold," his grandfather said after a few more moments of thought.
"Got it!" Akira responded, standing up.
"You know, I was just joking earlier. Why did you kneel so quickly? You're the strongest in the shinobi world now!" His grandfather tried to play it off, laughing.
"What do you mean by that? Even if it wasn't a joke, kneeling for you, Grandfather, is only
right!" Akira said with a grin.
And yet, despite his cheeky response, his grandfather clearly appreciated the gesture.
