Boom Boom Boom Boom… Smash… Explosion!
"Cough-cough!" Yagura who was in the version 1 state was repeatedly punched by Suijin and collided with a giant tree and coughed out blood.
Frost has spread over his entire body, and the Version 1 Cloak was unable to keep up with Suijin.
"Is that all you got? Is that all, you the Mizukage, the perfect Jinchuriki of Sanbi can do?" Suijin mocked.
"Cough… I am not done yet!" Yagura shouted as he got up, then let out more of Sanbi's Chakra.
With Yagura's action, all the three tails of Sanbi sprouted, the density of Bijuu Chakra on Yagura increased several times, and he has without a doubt entered the Version 2 state of the Bijuu Mode.
"Version 2, huh?" Suijin while still in the Ice Shroud muttered, then said, "It looks like I will have to take it up a notch too if I want to keep up with you."
Then Suijin again printed the hand seals, and shouted,
'Ice Release Secret Technique: Mode 2: True Absolute Armor of Okami!'
Whoosh…
As soon as Suijin finished, the shroud of Ice on him started to change, it expanded outward and became more solid, it changed shape from a simple shinobi armor to full body armor made out of ice.
(Translator's Note: 'True Absolute Armor of Okami' takes the appearance of Invel Yura's True-Ice Kamui from Fairy Tail.)
With both of them now powered up, they again rushed towards each other and again started a melee battle, this time their attacks produce louder sound waves and more impactful shock waves, the literal air current in the surrounding started to change, and a high-pressure zone was created.
The damage done to the valley is also enormous, all signs of vegetation disappeared and only barren land covered in ice and water was left.
The intensity of the battle increased to the battle between two Kage, as such the Kirigakure Shinobi watching the battle from a distance had no choice but to retreat farther away from the battlefield in order to not be swept away or get injured as the collateral damage.
It did not take long for the Rain to start, which started to freeze because of the Cold Temperature of Suijin's Armor of Okami.
The special thing about the armor of Okami was its instant repairability, no matter how much damage it suffered, it continued to repair itself using Water from the surroundings and from Suijin's body, thus making it a very strong Ninjutsu, and a very hard one to beat even for Yagura who is in the Version 2 Bijuu Mode.
But Yagura wasn't to be outdone either, in the Version 2 state the increase in strength and speed was much more than previously, as such he was easily capable of keeping up with, and sometimes even overwhelming Suijin.
The freezing touch at this moment wasn't much effective as the high temperature produced by the Chakra Mode melted all the ice around him.
And given that both of them are already powerful shinobi even in their base state so the increase in strength by Ice Armor and Chakra Mode increased their strength to a very high level.
Boom… Boom... Boom… Boom…
After a while of testing each other, Yagura crouched down and opened his mouth, the moment he did so, red and blue bubbles started to form around him and then merged together into the shape of a purple chakra ball started above his mouth.
After a while of testing each other, Yagura crouched down and opened his mouth, the moment he did so, red and blue bubbles of chakra started to form around him and then merged together into the shape of a purple chakra ball above his mouth.
As the size of the purple chakra ball continued to increase from the size of a tennis ball to that of a basketball and finally to the size of a giant boulder with a diameter of over a meter, it crushed the ground beneath Yagura because of the sheer weight due to the high-density chakra it contained.
When Yagura was satisfied with the amount of chakra it contained, Yagura bent forward and fired it in the direction of Suijin.
'Bijuudama!'
A Bijuudama is one of the most terrifying Jutsu a Bijuu has in his arsenal, and a Jinchuriki can also use this Jutsu. it is made up of positive blue chakra and negative red chakra in an 8:2 ratio. When fired, it moves at an extremely fast speed and is capable of destroying mountains.
And at this moment, this very symbol of calamity was coming toward Suijin with the intention of killing him
But Suijin was not panicked at all, "Bijuudama? Heh, I have just the right thing for this!" Suijin smirked and got ready to counter it.
Countering a Bijuudama is not so easy, the Bijuudama used by Yagura may not be at the full power that Sanbi is capable of when completely liberated, but it nonetheless bears extreme power, however, Suijin has created a Jutsu that is perfectly capable of countering this weakened version of Bijuudama, and Suijin is more than confident in this S-Class Jutsu of his.
With this intention, Suijin printed the hand seals,
Snake – Dog – Boar – Dragon – Mirrored Ram – Dog – Monkey – Horse – Ram – Tiger – Hare – Snake – Clap –
then clapped both of his hands together all while gathering enough Chakra that he needs to use for this Jutsu.
Under Suijin's control, a very large amount of water from the surroundings as well as from his own chakra reserves was drawn, resulting in the manifestation of a colossal, oceanic dragon deity with an abysmal and fearful maw. The colossal water Dragon which is almost as big as that of the giant snake summon Manda was launched towards the incoming Bijuudama at nonsensical speed.
'Water Release Secret Technique: Roaring Great Dragon God of the Seven Seas: Mizuchi!'
(Translator's Note: For reference to the appearance of this Jutsu, check out Noelle Silva's Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar from the Black Clover Series.)
The moment Suijin's Colossal Water Dragon God: Mizuchi reached near the incoming Bijuudama, it did something unexpected, it actually completely swallowed down the Bijuudama which shocked all the spectators, but that wasn't the end, it then started to absorb the chakra from the swallowed Bijuudama as it continued to move forward.
The Chakra of the Bijuudama that was supposed to have exploded resulting in the destruction of the entire valley was absorbed by the Colossal Water Dragon and used as a fuel to increase its size from the Colossal Dragon size of 150 meters to grow bigger and bigger, and all the more powerful, reaching up to the size of the Manda II.
Roar!
The colossal Water Dragon let out a loud roar and rushed at Yagura, his intention was to swallow down Yagura as a whole too.
"That's bad... I cannot counter it in this form." Muttered Yagura, because he knew that in the Version 2 Bijuu Mode, he will not be able to resist that Dragon, it's too powerful, and the torrent of water pressure will tear him apart.
"Now then… show me Yagura… what will you do? Nothing except for liberating the Sanbi sealed inside of you will work, and you have no other options. If you were to dodge, then the attack will hit the Kirigakure Shinobi behind you, but if you don't, then you will die. So, show me, how you will counter it? I want to see, whether you truly have complete control over Sanbi as Killer Bee of Kumogakure has over Hachibi, or is it just false information??" Suijin said as he watched the Great Dragon God rush towards Yagura.
Yagura did not reply to Suijin's words, he just put back the Version 2 Cloak, the Sanbi's chakra on him disappeared as a result Yagura was back to his base form. This action of Yagura made the Kirigakure Shinobi frown. They couldn't figure out what exactly Mizukage intended to do, they can only hope that he can resist that terrifying Water Ninjutsu.
And just when everyone thought that the attack would hit, Yagura shouted out loud, "Isobu!"
Roar!
With a loud roar that again produced large shockwaves, Sanbi appeared on the battlefield and instantly covered Yagura inside its tortoiseshell. It needed not to be informed of what exactly was going on as Isobu has been completely aware of the battle going on between Yagura and Suijin, as such, the moment it appeared, it instantly rolled itself into a ball and moved at high speed in the direction of the Water Dragon.
'Shadow Stroke!'
The rolling Isobu bulldozed the incoming Colossal Water Dragon and a battle for dominance between them started.

'...' Thoughts
"..." Words/Mutter
[...] Telepathic Conversation
....................
BOOM!
Looking at the destroyed Water Dragon, Mei and the others who were observing the battle from a distance sighed with a relieved breath.
Just now when they saw that the Water Dragon even absorbed the terrifying Bijuudama, they were really panicked, after all, they could feel that the Jutsu used by the Mizukage was extremely strong, and yet it was proven to be ineffective against the Water Dragon Jutsu of Suijin.
Ao muttered with a shocked expression, "Just how strong is that guy?"
Even Mei had to nod her head, "I never expected Mizukage sama to be so strong, not to mention, Suijin of the Amatsukami has been able to keep up with him…"
Heki asked, "But now that Mizukage sama has revealed the Sanbi completely, he should be able to defeat Suijin. Right?"
Mei said while clenching her mist, "Mizukage sama must win."
…
"To think you were able to overpower even this Jutsu? It appears that I must take things seriously now." Suijin said with a surprised tone.
Yagura asked with an incredulous expression, "Do you still have something up your sleeve?"
Suijin nodded, "Of course, this is something I have come up with not long ago, although this form is not complete yet, however, I think I will give it a try."
Yagura snorted, "Humph, no matter what you use, I will still kill you here!"
Suijin chuckled, "Heh, don't be so sure, I think you are in for a rude awakening."
With that said, Suijin thought, 'Although Ryuumyaku is still in the process of Evolution, I think it would be fine to tests the changes for some preliminary experimentation, so merging Ryuumyaku with me and taking chakra from it for this new Jutsu that I managed to acquire should be alright…'
And without waiting any longer Suijin started.
The first thing he did was to lift the Ryuumyaku Seal and allowed the Ryuumyaku Chakra to flow inside him.
As Suijin felt the Ryuumyaku Chakra entering inside him, he also felt his consciousness inside his own subconscious plane.
…
Suijin's Subconscious Plane.
[You are still not ready for the Sennin Transformation Suijin.] said a young woman who appeared to be in her later teens to Suijin. The woman has chin-length blond hair, along with a pair of purple horns on both sides of her head. She is wearing a sleeveless white and grey robe along with a golden tiara and tomoe-shaped blue earrings.
Suijin looked at the woman in front of him and said, [I know Toyotama-hime, as such, I want to try what I discussed with you the last time. I think it would work perfectly in this situation.]
[Are you sure Suijin?] the woman, named Toyotama-hime asked again, for confirmation.
Suijin nodded, [Yes, this is a good opportunity to test that form, since the fight with Karatachi Yagura is not a life and death battle, as such I want to test the limits of that form.]
Toyotama nodded after a bit of silence, but also added a warning [Alright, but you do need to understand that if the Natural Energy in your system exceeds what your body can bear, it will damage you. I don't think I need to remind you of what happened the last time, right? It was only because Ichikishima-hime sucked out all the Natural Energy out of your biological system in a timely manner that you managed to gain back your human form. And since, you can not summon her from the Ryuchi Cave at this moment. Therefore, you must show some restraint.]
Suijin nodded, [I think it will be alright with your help, keep the Natural Energy in my body in check and make sure that I am not overloaded.]
Toyotama nodded, [Alright, I was created for this purpose, I shall make sure that Natural Energy in your system does not exceed what you can not handle.]
Suijin nodded [Very good]
Toyotama asked [By the way, which form do you want to use?]
Suijin removed his mask, and said with a smirk, [Kuraokami]
Toyotama nodded and without any more questions, she started to prepare for Kuraokami to appear in the Shinobi world, all while Suijin thought to himself about why he created Toyotama-hime.
Toyotama-hime is an existence created by Kuroto as a consciousness for the Ryuumyaku. Toyotama's appearance is actually that of Samui of Kumogakure along with several other dragon characteristics. The reason for this similar appearance is also very simple, It is because Kuroto created her from the soul of Samui he extracted from her body.
The purpose of creating Toyotama-hime is also very simple, over time Kuroto has come to understand that he needs to solve the problem of Natural energy Invasion, but he has been unable to learn Sennin Mode so solving the problem of Petrification seems to have become a distant thought. But because he can't spare much effort because of the pressure of Akatsuki, especially Nagato, as such, he decided to give Ryuumyaku intelligence.
As such Samui, a.k.a Toyotama-hime came into the picture.
But even if Kuroto created her to solve this issue, there was still a problem, and that was the fact that Samui did not have any knowledge of Natural Energy or Senjutsu while she was alive, and that's where Ichikishima-hime came into the picture. Ichikishima-hime is one of the snake priestesses of the Ryuchi Cave who is a direct subordinate of the White Snake Sage.
Signing a summoning contract with her was rather easy. As a necessary condition for signing summon contract with her Kuroto had to pass her Genjutsu test, and also agree to her condition by allowing her to sometimes eat some of his as well as Ryuumyaku's Chakra both of which she found to be rather delicious because of their purity or high density of Natural Energy. Kuroto did not have any problem with her condition because having her as a summon solved quite a lot of problems, the advantages far outweighed the disadvantages for him so he agreed. Of course, Kuroto made sure that Shisui used Kotoamatsukami on her so that she keeps all her agreement with Kuroto a secret, this was done to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In addition to her, Kuroto also signed a summoning contract with Aoda, another Snake Summon of the Ryuchi Cave. Aoda is also a Snake Summon as powerful as Manda and Garaga, Ichikishima-hime is no weaker than Aoda, as such Kuroto now has quite a good amount of collection of Summon.
Anyway, after Kuroto made Ichikishima a loyal Snake Summon, he extracted her memories regarding Senjutsu, studied it himself, and also planted those memories along with a few others inside Samui, thus giving birth to Toyotama-hime who is well versed in Snake Senjutsu, and Snake Sennin Mode.
And that's how we have come to this point.
(Translator's Note: From here on out, Ryuumyaku will be renamed to Toyotama/Toyotama-hime.)
…
Back to the Real World
After his conversation with Toyotama, Suijin clapped both his hands and allowed Toyotama-hime to aide him, the moment Suijin clapped both of his hands together the Ice Armor on his body disappeared.
And Toyotama started to direct her Chakra inside Suijin and controlled the flow of Natural Energy inside Suijin's body. With the flow of Natural energy, Suijin's body started to change, to be more exact, it started to morph, from that of a human to something that wasn't a human.
Initially, bluish-white scales started to emerge from his skin, then a pair of horns appeared on both sides of his head, the next moment a tail started to sprout behind his back, and even the shape and size of his two pair of limbs was altered along with the rest of his body soon following suit.
Overall, when the transformation was completed, the size of his body changed and grew longer and longer, a pair of wings on both sides of the now elongated body appeared, in addition to a pair of golden horns on both sides of his head, one horn grew from his forehead, and his nose also elongated and sharpened akin to a blade.
The new form appeared to be an eastern dragon, or perhaps more accurately a water and ice dragon, with bluish-white scales, and a pair of flippers like wings. He also had water coiling around his dragon body and a floating sea above his head.
ROAR!
