Naruto: Wood-Wood Fruit

At the Root Base.

In the dimly lit underground chambers.

The spacious training area.

Kiyoshi flipped through the scrolls of forbidden techniques left behind by the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, committing each to memory.

Mastering the Light-Weight and Added-Weight Rock Techniques of Earth Release was straightforward. 

However, the Bloodline technique, Dust Release, which surpasses Kekkei Genkais by combining Earth, Wind, and Fire chakra properties, was more intricate than anticipated.

To streamline the process, Kiyoshi used the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to attach his consciousness directly to Mu's body.

This allowed him to observe firsthand the various applications of Dust Release.

From within, Kiyoshi carefully observed the flow of chakra in Mu's body and the delicate adjustments as Earth, Wind, and Fire chakra properties fused in varying ratios, resulting in minute changes.

A flash of movement.

The Second Tsuchikage Mu levitated in place.

His hands moved in a blur, and a dazzling light appeared in his palm.

The light rapidly expanded, forming a transparent cubic barrier.

Within it glowed an intense light sphere.

"Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"

The barrier shot forward, encompassing a massive stone pillar as it passed through.

In an instant, the light sphere within the barrier unleashed a blinding light.

It expanded continuously.

With a loud boom—

The massive stone pillar was instantly reduced to dust, vanishing entirely.

Atomized into nothingness.

The sheer power was terrifying.

Having memorized every detail of the technique, Kiyoshi's spirit detached from Mu's body and returned to his own.

"Light-Weight Rock Technique."

Without needing any hand signs, Kiyoshi lifted off the ground, defying gravity before everyone's eyes, Danzo, Mu, Tatsuma, and others.

Suspended in midair, he gave a light smile.

Thanks to his mastery of the Peacock Method and the Wood-Wood Fruit devil fruit's abilities, Kiyoshi could already fly at will. 

Yet, there was something undeniably cool about this technique—it allowed flight without any external aid, not even wings.

With his comprehensive knowledge of ninjutsu theory, his exceptional chakra control, and mastery over all chakra natures, Kiyoshi knew he could likely develop a wind-based flying technique.

 But why go through the trouble when he could simply "take" it?

The Light-Weight Rock Technique could even be combined with other flight techniques to achieve incredible speed—perhaps even unimaginable velocity.

"Learning the Light-Weight Rock Technique in one go... astonishing." Mu was stunned, the only one who truly understood the difficulty of mastering these Iwagakure techniques.

And levitating one's own body? That was another level entirely.

"Peacock Method."

Kiyoshi brought his fingers together in front of him.

In awe, Danzo, Mu, and Tatsuma watched as a tangible, visible chakra emanated from his body.

It took the form of brilliant blue wings of chakra.

Absolutely stunning.

With a powerful sweep of the chakra wings, Kiyoshi became a blur, dashing to the end of the passageway in the blink of an eye.

"So fast."

Mu's eyes contracted, and he exclaimed, "Is this the Peacock Method from Hoshigakure? It looks like it's been modified. What a genius."

Mu, a former Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, had crossed paths with countless abilities and techniques.

Naturally, he recognized Hoshigakure's secret Peacock Method. Yet, Kiyoshi's use of the technique was clearly distinct.

"Dust Release!"

Kiyoshi didn't perform any hand signs.

A radiant point of light formed in his palm, expanding into a transparent, cubic barrier that enclosed another stone pillar in the distance.

The light sphere within the barrier emitted a blinding, concentrated glow.

Boom!

Instantly, the stone pillar was reduced to dust.

Completely obliterated.

"What a terrifying technique." Danzo marveled, "Its power is no less than Mu's."

"Incredible, Lord Kiyoshi." Fu, Tatsuma, and Torune could barely contain their amazement.

"What a frightening talent."

Even Mu himself was utterly shocked. "He didn't even need hand signs."

It took Mu's own student, Onoki, years of dedicated training under Mu's guidance to grasp Dust Release through fusing Earth, Wind, and Fire chakra properties.

This feat emphasized the sheer, almost absurd talent of Kiyoshi.

Not only had Kiyoshi mastered Dust Release by merging Earth, Wind, and Fire chakra properties in a short period, but he also achieved it without hand signs.

"Next!"

Ignoring Danzo, Mu, and the others, Kiyoshi closed his eyes and entered Sage Mode in an instant.

His hair turned a vibrant green, and his jet-black irises subtly shifted to an emerald hue, accented by green eye markings.

"This!"

"Sage Mode?"

Both Danzo and Mu instinctively focused their gazes.

They watched, captivated by the power that seemed to merge Kiyoshi with nature, emanating a menacing aura.

Whoosh...

His eyes turned crimson.

Complex patterns spun within his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan as he activated the Dojutsu.

Kiyoshi's figure vanished from sight.

In an instant, he appeared within the spectral world.

His flawless figure floated midair.

Then, a perfect duplicate of himself emerged, leaping hundreds of meters away.

The two figures faced each other across the distance, each wielding Dust Release.

An intense glow appeared in their palms. "Sage Art: Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"

Whoosh... Whoosh...

The twin spheres of light expanded rapidly.

One grew into an enormous cylindrical shape.

The other formed a massive conical barrier.

The two constructs shot toward each other colliding with explosive force.

Boom!

Time itself seemed to freeze.

An overwhelming, destructive aura spread outward.

The intense brilliance was blinding, flooding the spectral world as it began to twist and shudder under the tremendous power.
