Battle Power Soars to 1000, Ato's Power-Up Mode!

Konoha, Forest of Death.

A golden streak of light raced through the sky from afar.

Then, the golden streak came to a stop above the Forest of Death.

Ato hovered in midair, looking down at the Forest of Death below.

A golden chakra cloak covered his body.

At that moment, Ato looked remarkably similar to the future Naruto Uzumaki when he activated Nine-Tails Mode.

The chakra cloak made Ato look even more handsome and cool.

His originally black spiky hair had also turned golden under the chakra cloak's glow.

Golden chakra rose from his Saiyan Battle Suit, blazing like golden flames.

His fluffy golden tail shimmered brilliantly, dazzling and eye-catching.

Saiyans were already at the pinnacle when it came to looks.

After fusing with the Ninja World's golden chakra cloak.

Ato's looks completely outclassed the other Saiyans.

"My chakra now completely surpasses this world's Tailed Beasts."

Ato was extremely satisfied with the amount of chakra he now possessed.

As a Saiyan, his physical strength completely surpassed the entire Ninja World.

Just from extracting chakra for the first time, Ato's chakra reserves had already far exceeded the Ninja World's Tailed Beasts.

Moreover, Ato could feel his body constantly supplying him with chakra.

It was not quite on the level of the Nine-Tails' limitless chakra.

But it was enough for Ato to use his chakra freely without fearing depletion.

"Android 18, display my current battle power."

Ato clenched both fists, exerted a little force, and slightly curled his body as he gathered strength.

"Haaah!"

This time, Ato directly shouted in the manner of a Saiyan powering up in the Dragon Ball Universe.

As Ato shouted, the chakra cloak around his body instantly surged.

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave spread in all directions from Ato in an instant.

The first to bear the brunt was the Forest of Death below.

The violent force instantly reduced the towering trees beneath Ato to dust.

The ground caved in at once, forming a massive crater.

Centered on the crater, dense clusters of trees snapped in half and crashed down.

The gravel and dead leaves scattered across the Forest of Death were drawn up by Ato's power-up, floating neatly into the air.

A single power-up was enough to easily alter the terrain.

In the Dragon Ball Universe, Saiyans who had mastered ki and Saiyans who had not were practically two entirely different life forms.

Ato now felt that he could easily crush the version of himself from a day ago with only one-tenth of his strength.

Beep, beep, beep.

As Ato powered up, the battle power reading on his Scouter also soared rapidly.

320.

380.

450.

600.

800.

1000!!!

Only after reaching 1000 did the battle power reading stop rising.

"My battle power is 1000!"

Looking at his battle power, Ato nearly could not stop himself from throwing back his head and laughing wildly again.

Once upon a time, Ato had trained like mad to raise his battle power to 300. Even when he trained until he passed out, he would have Android 18 possess his body and continue training.

He would only rest slightly once his body was on the verge of collapse.

Day after day, he had gone from a newborn baby through four years of Hellish training just to raise his battle power to 300.

And now, after merely two days in the Ninja World.

His battle power had soared directly from 320 to 1000!

Ato finally understood why those villainous bosses in the Dragon Ball Universe saw their battle power rise exponentially after arriving on Earth.

Because Earth's various abilities were unique even within the Dragon Ball Universe.

And the Ninja World was the same.

Although the Ninja World's battle power was lacking.

Its ninjutsu system was likewise something extraordinarily unique in the Dragon Ball Universe.

"This is only the beginning. If I gather every ability in the entire Ninja World into myself, just how absurdly high will my battle power become?!"

Ato's eyes flickered as he spoke with immense anticipation.

After understanding his current battle power, Ato began trying to conceal it.

With a thought from Ato, the golden chakra cloak on his body slowly contracted.

Then it gradually withdrew into his body.

"So it really works!"

When learning the Chakra Extraction Technique, Kushina had also taught Ato some knowledge regarding chakra.

Among it was a method for drawing chakra back into the body.

Originally, this was a small chakra-saving trick used by Ninja to reduce chakra consumption and preserve their battle power as much as possible.

But Ato was now using it to conceal his battle power.

As Ato gathered all his chakra into the meridians, acupoints, and energy core at his dantian.

His battle power also dropped rapidly.

It fell directly from 1000 to 560.

It had been reduced by more than half.

"Can I only conceal half my battle power?" Ato frowned slightly, dissatisfied with this result.

Using special ki techniques, the Z Fighters of the Dragon Ball Universe could lower their battle power to 0.

Compared to the Z Fighters, Ato's concealment technique, which could only lower his battle power by half, was rather inadequate.

However, Ato was not in a hurry.

He had only just acquired chakra.

And the Ninja World had many ninjutsu that could perfectly conceal one's chakra.

"It is time to get familiar with the power that has surged within me."

Ato slowly raised his right hand.

The chakra within his body instantly gathered.

Boom!

A massive Energy Blast more than several kilometers in diameter condensed in Ato's hand.

The immense energy pressure distorted the very air.

The once-clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, flashing with lightning and rumbling with thunder.

The entire Forest of Death was battered crooked by a terrifying hurricane.

The enormous Energy Blast was clearly visible throughout Konoha.

"What is that?"

"What terrifying chakra fluctuations."

"What is going on?"

The Ninja of Konoha all sprang into action, standing atop rooftops and staring toward the Forest of Death with despair in their eyes.

Inside the Hokage's Office.

The Minato Namikaze Shadow Clone that had been working sensed this energy and immediately used Flying Thunder God with a group of Anbu to appear in the Forest of Death.

Looking at Ato in the sky above the Forest of Death, cold sweat streamed down the Minato Namikaze Shadow Clone's forehead.

"It really is Ato. With such a massive Energy Blast, is he planning to destroy the entire Land of Fire?"

Kushina had informed Minato Namikaze of the situation the moment Ato awakened.

Looking at the incomparably massive Energy Blast, Minato Namikaze instantly felt overwhelming pressure.

Although he still had Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder.

He had no confidence at all that he could teleport such a massive Energy Blast away.

Just as cold sweat poured down Minato Namikaze's face, Ato looked up at the Energy Blast he had condensed.

"I accidentally used too much force again."

"I really do not have enough control over my own power yet."

Ato rubbed his chin and withdrew the chakra from his hand.

The several-kilometer-wide Energy Blast rapidly shrank before vanishing.

When he saw Ato retract the energy sphere, Minato Namikaze could not help letting out a sigh of relief.

However, he soon realized that he had relaxed too soon.

After putting away the energy sphere, Ato did not lower his hand.

"Let me try that move."

Ato suddenly thought of an incredibly cool technique from the Ninja World.

He acted as soon as he thought of it.

A black chakra sphere rapidly condensed in Ato's palm, with a golden chakra ring around its surface.

Extreme energy was compressed inside the chakra sphere, seemingly affecting even the surrounding gravity.

This time, Ato did not inject much chakra.

Only one percent of his chakra.

Yet the chakra sphere in his palm had already become almost solid.

"Great Spiraling Ring!"

Ato casually tossed the black chakra sphere in his hand downward.

The black chakra sphere descended without a sound.

Then, the instant it touched the ground, it exploded with a thunderous roar.

The black chakra sphere rapidly expanded afterward.

Wherever the black chakra sphere expanded, the ground, forest, rocks—everything vanished.

It was as though an invisible force had erased them.

"Run!"

Seeing the black chakra sphere sweeping toward them, Minato Namikaze immediately took the Anbu and used Flying Thunder God again to leave the Forest of Death.

Boom!

It was as though a sun had risen over the Forest of Death. Blinding white light illuminated all of Konoha as brightly as day.

When the white light faded, the entire Forest of Death had completely disappeared.

In its place was an enormous crater.

"The Great Spiraling Ring's destructive power is decent!" Ato looked at the crater beneath his feet and commented casually.
