Chapter 111 Naruto's Law of Heaven and Earth

Naruto's Sage Art: Gigantic Transformation

Naruto stood at the bow of the Wind Capital Ship, a playful smile on his lips.

The Ghost Ship's deck was crowded with Ghost Crewmen, all kneeling in reverence to welcome the true "Shinigami".

"Forbidden Lord of the Ghost Sea, the Great Sea Monster Kraken, rumored to be the North Sea Giant Monster, are you still going to cower in that damp, rotten, fishy-smsmelling decaying wreck?"

"For your own selfish desires, you imprisoned the beings who died in the Ghost Sea, turning them into undead to be controlled and enslaved."

"Now the true Shinigami has arrived to restore death to its natural order. I will liberate them; the undead will no longer obey your command."

Naruto's powerful, word-by-word speech forced the North Sea Giant Monster Kraken to reveal itself.

It was certain that the gigantic Ghost Ship before them was the Forbidden Lord, but not Kraken's true body.

Destroying the giant Ghost Ship prematurely would only scare away this old schemer who liked to hide in the shadows.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Come out! Come out! Come out!"

"Coward hiding in the shadows, you are no longer our master."

"Sea monster who toys with lives, if you have the guts, fight the true Shinigami!"

Thousands of Ghost Crewmen stomped their feet in unison, shouting in concert, their imposing aura shaking both large ships.

They roared in the ghost language, openly declaring their rebellion and provoking Kraken.

Finally.

Kraken was enraged.

It was the North Sea Giant Monster, the Forbidden Lord, not a weakling to be easily manipulated.

Even if the opponent was the Shinigami, it would still challenge him.

"Roar!"

A hoarse, deep, yet bell-like roar from the monster echoed throughout the Ghost Sea.

It made everyone dizzy, seeing stars, swaying, and falling to the ground.

"H-how terrifying that cry was!"

"Is there an even stronger monster?"

"So that's it. The terrifying aura we sensed at first came from inside the Ghost Ship."

"Hidden within this decaying, ancient giant ship is a monster even more terrifying than a flying dragon!"

Heather, the Insectoid Monk, the Crown Prince, and others were all startled, their expressions filled with horror.

With a loud "Boom".

Even the massive Wind Capital Ship trembled, the ground shaking, and the Ghost Ship, which was even larger than the Wind Capital Ship,

exploded as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. Countless fragments of the deck planks splattered everywhere, hundreds of Ghost Crewmen were sent flying, and a gigantic, mountain-like reddish-brown octopus tentacle erupted from inside the ship's hull, soaring into the clouds, tearing through the mist.

"W-what is that!?"

"It looks like a tentacle, an octopus tentacle!"

Everyone looked up at the sky, seeing a tentacle as tall as a mountain, and they were all horrified.

What kind of monster could be so enormous?

A single tentacle sweeping down could crush several flying dragons.

Large monsters, tens of meters long, were only fit to be snacks stuck between its teeth.

"That's—my Fire Crystal Spear!"

Heather pointed at the gigantic tentacle rising from the Ghost Ship, crying out in alarm.

The Fire Crystal Spear she had thrown, capable of instantly killing a flying dragon, was stuck in the giant tentacle like a mere splinter.

"Whoosh—"

The next moment.

Kraken's gigantic tentacle collapsed like a falling mountain, sweeping down fiercely towards the Wind Capital Ship below.

As for the people on the Wind Capital Ship, they were as tiny as ants.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Before the gigantic tentacle even arrived, the surging air currents created a powerful pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, forcing everyone to their knees.

"This guy!"

"No time to defend!"

"Everyone prepare to abandon ship!"

The Crown Prince shrieked hysterically.

At this moment, Naruto formed a hand seal with one hand, his index and middle fingers together, and shouted in a low voice: "Absolute Cube!"

A golden, translucent cube, centered on Naruto, instantly appeared, so massive that it completely enveloped the entire Wind Capital Ship.

"Thump—"

The gigantic tentacle swept down, colliding violently with the Absolute Cube, creating a colossal sound as if the heavens and earth were being split apart.

This was not a perfect-grade Absolute Cube.

Otherwise, the ascended Absolute Cube would not be in this dimension at all, and Kraken wouldn't even be able to hit it.

However.

To ascend the Absolute Cube would consume too much Chakra.

Even though Naruto possessed "Chakra-tons," it was impossible for him to use such a Chakra-intensive skill before his decisive battle with Dragon Mother Tiamat.

Another reason was that the ascended Absolute Cube could not be escaped even by space-time Ninjutsu; Kamui and Amenotejikara would not work either.

The gigantic tentacle swung, carrying billions of tons of terrifying force, continuously striking the Absolute Cube.

The adventurers inside the Absolute Cube watched with pounding hearts.

They were afraid that any single attack would shatter the Absolute Cube, leaving them with no place to die.

Naruto's expression was calm.

Fortunately, the Absolute Cube's "absolute defense" lived up to its name; even when facing Kraken's world-destroying physical attacks, it could easily withstand them.

One tentacle was not enough.

Then two!

The giant Ghost Ship, split in half, completely disintegrated, revealing the massive, coiled tentacles within.

The tentacles were covered with countless large and small suction cups.

It was these suction cups that, from within, adhered to the haphazardly assembled Ghost Ship, preventing it from falling apart.

"Splash!!"

The sea churned, and gigantic waves surged.

Six more tentacles appeared, towering over the heavens and earth, surrounding the Absolute Cube from all sides, continuously lashing out.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang—"

Deafening sounds were incessant.

The entire sea area was violently boiling, with towering waves.

It was like a mischievous child wildly stomping in a basin of water.

"N-Naruto-sama—"

"What do we do now? This can't go on like this!"

The Crown Prince, enduring the terrifying aura emanating from the "Shinigami" title, asked with a grim face.

The Crown Prince, who always planned ahead, was now at a loss.

"Wait, wait for Kraken's true body to appear, then kill it with one blow."

Naruto said calmly.

Cold sweat broke out on the Crown Prince's forehead.

This twelve-year-old blond boy was too calm, wasn't he?

Could he truly, by himself, contend against the gigantic monster before them?

"Roar!" A gigantic whirlpool suddenly appeared on the vast sea surface, like a portal to the abyss.

Beneath the surface, it was actually a giant abyss mouth filled with spiral saw-like teeth.

Tens of thousands of tons of seawater were pouring into it, disappearing without a trace.

That was the North Sea Giant Monster Kraken's mouth!

"Have you finally decided to show yourself?"

"Since you're also a stat monster, let's compare stats then!"

Naruto's azure eyes, originally calm as water, now gleamed with excitement.

His blood was boiling.

An "Im" hand seal was instantly formed, and eight Shadow Clones appeared "poof, poof, poof" around Naruto.

The eight Shadow Clones and the original body together once again used the Akimichi Clan's secret Ninjutsu—Multiplication Technique.

In an instant, nine youthful figures continuously expanded, growing taller and larger in everyone's vision, transforming into nine small giants in a flash!
