"That's... Mountain Lord?! Night Owl's Summoning Beast?!"
Choza Akimichi couldn't help crying out, his voice filled with disbelief.
An uproar immediately broke out among Konoha's forces.
Wasn't Mountain Lord the signature Summoning Beast of the ANBU elite, "Night Owl"?
How had Lin Ze summoned him here now?
And he had even called him "Master"!
Yet the shock Mountain Lord brought was insignificant compared to what came next!
When that thousand-meter-long azure dragon coiled in the sky, blotting out the sun and casting a shadow over the entire Valley of the End, everyone lost the ability to speak. Only boundless fear and stupor remained.
"What... what is that?!"
"A dragon?! Is that a dragon from the legends?!"
"You've got to be kidding... Is this really Ninjutsu?!"
"Lin Ze... just who is he?!"
Every Konoha shinobi, from the clan heads to the ANBU, felt their decades of understanding of the shinobi world utterly overturned.
They had seen Tailed Beasts and all kinds of powerful Summoning Beasts.
But when had they ever seen a creature so enormous, so majestic, as though it had come from an age of myth?!
Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed up at that enormous dragon head, speechless for a long time.
All his suspicion and scrutiny of Lin Ze seemed so laughable now.
He had always thought Lin Ze merely possessed a special Kekkei Genkai and had reached, at most, the pinnacle of Kage level.
But now, the power Lin Ze displayed had long since surpassed the bounds of a "Kage," reaching a level he could scarcely comprehend!
"Is... is this his true form?"
The familiar gentle smile had long since vanished from Minato Namikaze's face, replaced by unprecedented gravity.
His Flying Thunder God, hailed as the fastest technique in the Shinobi World, had lost its meaning before this colossal creature.
