Realizing Naruto's intent, the Sovereign seemed to want to escape, but the Fūma Shuriken was already dangerously close. In the blink of an eye, Naruto teleported to the Fūma Shuriken, and from his chest emerged the Adamantine Sealing Chains, restraining the Sovereign.
"Roar!"
Ignoring the fierce struggle of the beast, Naruto's eyes remained fixed on the Sovereign. It was a silver-white fox with fur. Its body, including its tail, was about ten meters long. A white horn adorned its forehead, emitting a glow of the same hue.
Naruto touched the animal's belly with his fingertips, making a swirling gesture. As soon as the seal was opened, the chains began to pull the silver-white fox, which fought tirelessly to free itself. However, the fox's divine arts proved useless against the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"There's no use fighting!" Naruto exclaimed confidently.
From the moment he laid eyes on this fox, he decided that he wanted it for himself. The alternative would be to kill it, as only by exterminating the Sovereigns on the map could he progress to the next one.
Faced with such a beautiful, unique, and enchanting creature, with the option to seal it within his own body, Naruto did not hesitate to choose the latter.
And so, Kurama would gain a beautiful fox companion to share in its loneliness, right?
Upon realizing that it was a female, and considering that Kurama was male... Well, Naruto didn't allow himself to dwell on it too much, but who knows what the future might hold...
The silver-white fox resisted until the last moment, but eventually, it was sealed within Naruto's body.
Once the process was complete, Naruto reactivated the seal.
"Hehehe, Kurama, you'll thank me later~" Naruto sang, resuming his journey through the second map, now in even higher spirits.
His objective was to find and defeat all the Sovereigns on the map, if possible, thereby unlocking the next map.
Of course, he remained cautious, as there could be bosses of other levels lurking around. Thus, he stayed constantly alert.
Before proceeding, he took a break to meditate for a while.
A few hours later, Naruto found his next target: the Lightning Dragon Horse.
This beast stood 30 meters tall, clad in black armor adorned with purple lightning runes. It seemed to belong to the same species as the Lightning War Horse. However, it lacked a single horn. Instead, it sported a pair of dragon horns that emitted sparks of destructive energy.
The Lightning Dragon Horse appeared to be resting peacefully in its nest. Naruto then created two shadow clones: one transformed into a marked Fūma Shuriken, and the other waited with the mark.
Naruto had already prepared the Rasenshuriken, and the moment he launched the Fūma Shuriken, the Sovereign awoke in a state of alert, but it was already too late!
"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
*BOOOOOM!*
The earth began to shake, and cracks appeared in the Lightning Dragon Horse's nest. Surprisingly, it had not collapsed yet.
Naruto had returned to his original spot and watched as the Lightning Dragon Horse roared in pain, taking its last breaths.
A few minutes later, Naruto approached the location. He saw the pitiful state of the Lightning Dragon Horse, unable to comprehend how it was on the brink of death. It expressed a mix of anger and helplessness upon spotting Naruto before turning into dust, leaving behind orbs of purple and red light, crystal orbs of the Lightning God Art, and the Divine Art Rune of Lightning.
Collecting all the orbs, Naruto displayed a satisfied smile.
While the nest of the gray half-dragon was shrouded in a gray mist that covered the area, this nest was pure lightning fury.
The region was covered by a band of lightning that extended for 100 kilometers.
"With this, there are two nests that I still can't absorb," Naruto murmured to himself. He knew that even if he could absorb them now, without the appropriate divine art, it would take a long time. It would be more efficient for him to focus on eliminating the other Sovereigns instead of wasting time here.
"Ah, the Black Tiger Sovereign has been found," Naruto thought aloud, receiving information from one of his shadow clones.
Then he teleported.
A few kilometers away was the nest of the Black Tiger Sovereign. Its fur was covered with a black crystal that shimmered with a metallic hue.
So far, Naruto has used 50% of his power. Although he had managed to replenish some through meditation, he didn't dare to delve deeper, fearing he would be turned into a toad.
This Sovereign was of the defensive type. If Naruto wanted to eliminate the Black Tiger Sovereign, he would have to use much more power.
Utilizing about 20% of his remaining energy, Naruto created a Rasenshuriken. His shadow clones were ready, and he launched the Fūma Shuriken.
As the Fūma Shuriken approached, the Black Tiger Sovereign stood up, snorting with disdain as it didn't feel threatened by such a thing, and hurled a rock with its paw toward the projectile.
However, before the rock could reach the Fūma Shuriken, Naruto materialized next to it, not giving the Black Tiger Sovereign time to prepare. Without hesitation, he launched the Rasenshuriken in its direction!
"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
In the blink of an eye, Naruto teleported to the location of one of his other shadow clones.
*BOOOOOM!*
A mushroom-shaped column of smoke shot up into the sky.
The impact was even more powerful than any Naruto had provoked before.
The anguished roars of the Black Tiger Sovereign echoed through the air.
At the same time, the sky began to clear, and minutes later, the curtain of dust and smoke began to dissipate.
