I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 191 is too big, won't it break?

For the people living in Donghae County, today is destined to be an unforgettable day.

From early morning, the sea became covered with dark clouds.

The sky seemed to have been ripped open, with fierce winds blowing in gusts from high above, and countless hailstones, each the size of a human head, raining down from the clouds amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, turning the entire world into a hazy gray.

It felt like the end of the world was coming.

At the height of the commotion, residents within a radius of hundreds of kilometers saw a wide, dark blue pillar of light appear on the horizon, like a divine artifact that split the heavens and the earth, piercing through the sky and cutting the vast sea of ​​clouds and the ocean below in two, its power immense.

Several mountain peaks were leveled by this beam of light.

Afterwards, towering waves hundreds of meters high surged on the sea, at one point even breaching the coastal dikes.

These once-in-a-century wonders lasted for a whole day.

Until the morning of the next day...

It gradually subsided.

But sparse flashes of lightning still occasionally ripped across the sky, and the downpour continued, the raindrops taking on a pale red hue, as if mixed with blood, making one's heart pound with unease.

A few bolder individuals began to open their windows and peer cautiously at the sky.

"The elders say that an ancient dragon god dwells in the clouds above the East China Sea..."

"Could today's torrential rain be a sign of the Dragon God's wrath?"

……

Above the clouds.

Uchiha Hikaru stood atop the mountain, leaning on his dragon bone sword, breathing heavily. Not far away stood Esdeath, her hands hanging down, also panting heavily.

They were opposite them.

The battered and bruised East Sea Cloud Dragon lay on the mountain peak. Its body, which had stretched for thousands of feet, was covered with countless wounds and numerous marks from being burned and frozen by flames, frost, lightning, and more. Thick blood stained half the mountain crimson, and a strong stench of blood filled the air.

"...Is this guy's strength really that terrifying?"

Even Uchiha Hikaru didn't expect that the battle would last for a whole day.

She's now on her third energy bar after consuming the Senzu Bean, while Esdeath is on her second.

If it weren't for the "Amaterasu" that burned continuously for a whole day, eventually transforming into a towering black flame that stretched for thousands of meters, leaving half of the East Sea Dragon's body severely burned and difficult to heal, this battle might have lasted much longer.

of course……

Hikaru Uchiha definitely has enough Senzu Beans.

She had a whole jar of Senzu Beans given to her by the Nekomamushi, at least several hundred in stock, enough to fight for ten days and ten nights straight. However… if she really used this method of grinding down the enemy's health bar to defeat the East Blue Cloud Dragon, it would be far too pathetic.

"...Although it was a somewhat unfair victory, I still won."

Uchiha Hikaru slowly took a few steps forward, arriving in front of the head of the East Blue Cloud Dragon, and knelt down: "Do you submit?"

"Or do you want to wait until you've fully recovered before playing again?"

As a super-dangerous species that has survived for over a thousand years, the East Blue Cloud Dragon possesses intelligence, though not very high—roughly equivalent to a human child of ten years old. It would be difficult for it to contemplate profound philosophical questions, but understanding the meaning expressed by Uchiha Hikaru is sufficient.

In a short time.

In the dragon's eyes, a complex mix of human emotions surfaced: doubt, anger, surprise, fear...

It's like having a very intense internal struggle.

"Don't worry, if you're willing to submit, I'll heal your injuries immediately. If you're not... I'll do the same, and then continue beating you until you submit. The path you choose is yours."

As they were talking.

Uchiha Hikaru sat down cross-legged in front of Tokai Unryu.

Without activating Susanoo, her size is insignificant compared to the East Blue Cloud Dragon, not even as big as the gap between his teeth. She is truly "not even enough to fill a gap between his teeth." He only needs to open his mouth to eat her whole.

However, due to the pain caused by "Fire God" and "Amaterasu", Donghai Yunlong dared not make any moves.

for a long time.

Esdeath seemed to be getting impatient. She stepped forward, sword in hand, and pointed the tip at the eyes of the East Sea Dragon, her eyes filled with a chilling killing intent: "It's just a magical beast. Why bother talking to it so much? Either obey or die."

"...You're too extreme, Xiao Ai."

Uchiha Hikaru raised a finger and gently pushed away the tip of Esdeath's sword.

If she could, she actually hoped to subdue Donghai Yunlong with her own strength.

But what if this path is blocked...?

That's not entirely out of the question; we could consider using some shortcuts, like the Sharingan.

—At its peak, the East Sea Cloud Dragon is even stronger than the Nine-Tails from the Naruto world, and might not be so easy to control. But right now, it has been reduced to an extremely weak state by the combined attack of the two, making it much easier to take advantage of its weakness.

It just so happens that Uchiha Hikaru also wants to try out another type of eye technique that he has never used before...

the other side.

Donghai Yunlong seemed startled by Esdeath's actions, thinking his eyes were about to be blinded. He quickly closed his eyelids, and after a moment, he opened them again. His stern dragon face, covered with bony protrusions, struggled a few times before finally slowly lowering his head.

"Um?"

This...does it mean he's backed down?

Uchiha Hikaru tentatively reached out and touched the tip of Tokai Unryu's nose. The latter's body trembled slightly, but he did not resist.

Of course, given its size, even a "slight" tremor caused the mountain to shake a few times, as if an earthquake had struck.

"good."

Uchiha Hikaru activated the Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye, retracting the remaining Amaterasu black flames from the East Blue Cloud Dragon's body into his eye socket. Then, he took out a Senzu Bean from his pocket and threw it into the dragon's mouth.

For the body of the East Sea Cloud Dragon, eating a Senzu Bean is no different than eating a grain of sand.

Can……

In just a short while, its injuries began to heal rapidly. Broken bones were reconnected, and fresh flesh sprouted continuously. Even the burns and frostbite caused by Amaterasu and Esdeath's ice were restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"?"

Esdeath was genuinely surprised this time.

"Was that a Senzu Bean you just fed it? It even healed the wounds on a super dangerous species of this size so quickly?"

"Yes, that's right."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded.

Honestly...

She actually thought it was outrageous too.

The healing and restorative effects of Senzu Beans are somewhat similar to a concept: from a Super Saiyan capable of destroying the solar system to a tiny baby who can barely walk, a single Senzu Bean can restore all their strength and injuries. Therefore, no matter how large the East Blue Cloud Dragon is, it's no different from an injured wild rabbit; feeding it a Senzu Bean is all it takes.

This scene, however, seems very unscientific to those who are unfamiliar with the Dragon Ball world.

After a while.

The East Sea Cloud Dragon had recovered most of its injuries and let out a delighted cry before gracefully soaring back into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

Uchiha Hikaru covered his ears to avoid being hurt by the deafening dragon roar, while looking up at the sky.

She wasn't worried that Donghai Yunlong might change his mind after recovering from his injuries; if that happened, they could just fight again. Anyway, there were plenty of Senzu Beans... It was just a little troublesome, though. She might have to go back and rest for a while, since such a long battle was quite exhausting.

Fortunately.

This guy doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives.

After soaring in the sky for a while, it returned to the mountain peak, staring at Uchiha Hikaru with its huge dragon eyes for a moment before lowering its head once again.

"Good boy."

Uchiha Hikaru patted the tip of the East Sea Cloud Dragon's nose, then used the Flying Technique to leap into the air and sit on its forehead—looking up at the mountaintop from here felt almost the same as looking down from the head of Susanoo, and looking at the surrounding mountains gave one a feeling of standing on the highest peak.

"From today onwards, you will be my mount. Let me give you a name, how about...?"

"How about Rayquaza?"

"..."

Donghai Yunlong remained silent, it was unclear whether he felt good about it or simply didn't understand.

It doesn't matter.

Uchiha Hikaru took out a camera from the capsule, then waved to Esdeath and explained how to use it. He then smiled and made a "V" sign, indicating that she should take some photos of him and Tokai Unryu.

"photo?"

Esdeath frowned slightly, seemingly not quite understanding what it was, but still followed instructions and stepped onto the ice floe, flying into the surrounding air to find a suitable spot for taking photos.

Click, click—

One photo after another was taken.

Uchiha Hikaru casually got up, stepping on the head of the East Sea Cloud Dragon and changing positions and movements a few times. Esdeath also roughly figured out how to use the camera, and a subtle expression appeared on her face.

"...Is it okay now?"

"Hold on."

Uchiha Hikaru flew to Esdeath's side, took the camera from her, looked it over, and nodded slightly: "Not bad, quite cool... Do you want to take some pictures too?"

Esdeath scoffed, "Hmph, boring."

"..."

Although Hikaru Uchiha personally thought being a dragon knight was a very cool thing, since Esdeath wasn't interested, she didn't say anything more. She planned to find some time later to develop these photos and show them off to Bulma, Erii, and the others.

Hmm...maybe we can let them experience what it's like to soar through the sky on a dragon's back.

Next.

Uchiha Hikaru spent some time collecting the scattered hairs and scales of the East Sea Cloud Dragon.

These are all precious materials; Lubbock's Imperial Arms "Cross Tail" was forged using them. Although the craftsmanship has been lost and it may be impossible to replicate "Cross Tail," it should still be possible to create something else using these materials.

such as……

Knit a sweater?

A sweater woven from "Cross Tail" should be even better than armor made from dragon bone scales, right? It's also very lightweight and soft, so it should feel very comfortable to wear.

In addition, Uchiha Hikaru didn't waste the dragon blood and scales. He put them all into bottles and jars he had prepared in advance, planning to ask the Revolutionary Army and Totosai from the Inuyasha world for help. If all else failed, he could at least exchange them for some resources.

After doing all this.

Uchiha Mitsuya suddenly realized a problem:

"Speaking of which..."

How do I take Rayquaza with me?

Hikaru Uchiha went to so much trouble to subdue the East Blue Cloud Dragon, of course, not just to ride it around in the world of Akame ga Kill!

She even wanted to take this thing to another world.

Can……

The chat group's browsing function allows you to bring a certain amount of personal items, but the capacity is limited.

For something as small as the Somersault Cloud, it's fine no matter what.

However, for larger items, it is necessary to seal them before carrying them to avoid the travel restrictions.

The issue is……

Neither the sealing scroll nor the universal capsule has the space to accommodate the nearly ten-thousand-meter-tall body of the East Sea Cloud Dragon. It's like trying to cram ten or so mountains into a single scroll—an impossible task.

"or……"

"How about asking Minato-sensei about sealing techniques for Jinchuriki, and sealing this guy inside my body to become a 'Cloud Dragon Jinchuriki'?"

When this thought popped into my head...

Uchiha Hikaru looked up at the seemingly endless body of the East Blue Cloud Dragon, then swallowed hard and shook his head in disapproval: "No, it's too big, it'll break if it's stretched..."

Its large size is secondary.

The main issue is that the East Sea Cloud Dragon's body is made of solid flesh and blood, which is fundamentally different from the tailed beasts in the Naruto world that are formed from chakra. Therefore, although it is on the same scale as the Ten-Tails in size, it may not be possible to seal it using the Jinchuriki method.

If she were forced to do it, she might actually be bursting from the strain...

"We'll have to ask Doraemon."

"I wonder what the maximum capacity of the Capsule of Dexterity could achieve... Also, could we make a mini bracelet that would also work on Rayquaza, so we could keep it with us like a pet...?"

The original mini bracelet was designed to be worn on human wrists, but for a behemoth like the East Sea Cloud Dragon, it couldn't even fit under its fingernail.

present.

Uchiha Hikaru decided to leave the East Blue Cloud Dragon here for now and go back to think of a solution.

"Let's go, Xiao Ai, let's find a place to rest first."

"...Don't call me that."

Esdeath pursed her lips and said somewhat unhappily.

"Hmm? You don't like it?"

Uchiha Hikaru stretched and raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I thought this would seem more friendly... Well, let's not worry about that now, let's find a place to rest, I'm exhausted."

Under the watchful eyes of Donghai Yunlong.

Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath flew down from the mountain and landed in a nearby city. They found a random inn and checked in.

The first thing Hikaru Uchiha did was take a bath.
