Reaching the Peak
Even without reaching the peak, he could still be a star-destroying existence.
Even the most ordinary, low-level Saiyan warrior like Raditz, when compared horizontally, might not match a Six Paths-level existence, but he is definitely not weaker than a Kage-level powerhouse in the ninja world.
More importantly, now that he has obtained the Saiyan bloodline, can he use the unique Ki of the Dragon Ball world? Will his battle power align with the Dragon Ball world?
Kawaki Aoba doesn't expect to immediately gain star-destroying power, but improving his growth potential to that level isn't too much to ask, right?
Extremely excited, Kawaki Aoba didn't hesitate and directly crushed the diamond-shaped crystal in his hand.
This was the method to use it.
After the crystal was crushed, the strange substance inside flowed into Kawaki Aoba's body.
Power. Surging power began to revive within his body, and the nature of his chakra also changed, becoming more violent and destructive.
There was also a strange sensation at the coccyx—a tingling feeling—but this sensation quickly disappeared.
Kawaki Aoba reached out and touched his coccyx, but no tail had grown. It seems that the bloodline was severely incomplete.
This made him a little disappointed. If no tail grew, wouldn't that mean he couldn't transform into a giant ape with ten times the power when looking at the moon?
However, after feeling the surging power within his body again, a trace of disappointment was swept away.
Preliminary estimates suggest that his current normal combat power is already infinitely close to his peak state with the Eight Gates Release.
In other words, he now possesses the combat power to directly match a Kage.
Even if there's a difference, it wouldn't be too much.
"Four-Tailed Son Goku, I really was sorry to you before. Although your strength didn't quite deserve to be called Son Goku, it's different now.
Since your chakra is so valuable, then you yourself are irreplaceable to me."
Having obtained such a great benefit, Kawaki Aoba was happy. He smiled, but as he smiled, his smile gradually faded…
Damn it, the Four-Tails had already been taken away by that old geezer, Onoki.
As everyone knows, chakra is a renewable resource, and Tailed Beast chakra is no different. It's a real, endless supply!
If he could keep using the Four-Tails' chakra to exchange for incomplete Saiyan bloodlines, would he be able to fully replenish the Saiyan bloodline?
Although the result was unknown, Kawaki Aoba couldn't help but want to slap himself. If he had known earlier that using the Four-Tails' chakra could exchange for an incomplete Saiyan bloodline, he would never have handed over the Four-Tails—even if it meant breaking the negotiations.
Moreover, wasn't there still the Five-Tails?
Thinking of this, Kawaki Aoba suddenly woke up. That's right, they still have the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han.
As a Tailed Beast chakra, and with one more tail than the Four-Tails, it shouldn't be much different, right?
Kawaki Aoba couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and left, determined to drain the Tailed Beast chakra from Han's body.
Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't stop him, Kawaki Aoba thought.
However, extracting Tailed Beast chakra was something the Sealing Team was better at compared to him. Without much thought, Kawaki Aoba went directly to them.

Chapter 66: The Hokage is Happy, But the Hokage Doesn't Like It
"Um, Lord Aoba, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's current condition isn't very good. If it weren't for the Tailed Beast chakra in his body helping to repair his body, he could die at any time."
The people from the Sealing Team spoke very euphemistically, but Kawaki Aoba understood. Doesn't it just mean the Five-Tails Jinchuriki could die at any time? So what?
For others, this might be an unsolvable problem, but for him, it's a piece of cake.
Kawaki Aoba reached into his ninja tool bag and took out a small red potion that he had prepared long ago.
The injuries on Han's body were too severe, and with so many days of exposure to the cold wind, he was now seriously ill, in addition to the injuries inflicted by Akimichi Takefu's kunai.
The effect of this small red potion was, at most, to keep him alive.
But that's already enough.
After a medical ninja checked Han's body, although surprised, he nodded to Kawaki Aoba, indicating that the other party's current state wouldn't cause him to die even if the Tailed Beast chakra was extracted.
What else was there to say? Kawaki Aoba waved his hand, and the Sealing Team members took action and began to extract the Tailed Beast chakra from Han's body.
During this period, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, only grunted in a daze and didn't resist in any other way. Although some of his injuries had healed, he was still seriously ill and unconscious.
But thinking about it, being unconscious might be a blessing for him, so he wouldn't have to endure even greater suffering after waking up.
The Sealing Team members were very fast. Before long, they had filled both sealing scrolls that Kawaki Aoba had brought.
With many people around, Kawaki Aoba said he would return after a while, then took the two sealing scrolls back to his single tent.
Just like he had dealt with the Four-Tails' chakra before, Kawaki Aoba transported the Five-Tails chakra to the sacrificial altar, but he didn't rush to sacrifice it. Instead, he turned back to the Sealing Team.
This time, Kawaki Aoba wanted to try sacrificing an entire portion of the Five-Tails' chakra to see what he could get.
As for the Sealing Team members, they were silent when they saw Kawaki Aoba return, holding two familiar bundles of sealing scrolls in his hands.
Could it be that this young master had released all the Tailed Beast chakra after returning? Otherwise, how could it be so fast?
Ignoring their doubts, Kawaki Aoba handed the scrolls back and said kindly, "Sorry for the trouble, everyone."
Explanation? Whether in terms of strength or personal merit, he had already passed the stage where he needed to find a reasonable explanation after the secret was exposed.
As for what others might think, let them think whatever they wanted.
Re-carrying the two scrolls of Tailed Beast chakra away, the Sealing Team members exchanged glances. One of them couldn't help but say:
"Lord Aoba's speed is too fast, isn't it? Even releasing the chakra and resealing it wouldn't be this fast. Do we need to report this to Lord Akimichi Takefu?"
"Let's report it anyway. After all, this is dangerous Tailed Beast chakra."
After another round of discussion, the Sealing Team members decided to send someone to inform Akimichi Takefu. As a result, the person who was chosen almost bumped into Kawaki Aoba just as he stepped out of the large tent where the Five-Tails' Jinchuriki, Han, was sealed.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work." Kawaki Aoba once again handed over the two large scrolls in his hands.
The collective Sealing Team members stood speechless.
Well, what's the point of reporting now? Let's get to work.
Another round of extraction followed, and this time, all the Tailed Beast chakra that could be extracted was completely drained. Only a small portion of the two sealing scrolls remained unfilled.
Compared to the previous Four-Tails, the Five-Tails' chakra was indeed much more abundant.
When the Sage of Six Paths distributed chakra to the Nine Tailed Beasts, it was very likely that he gave it out according to the number of tails.
However, Kawaki Aoba, who had just drained the Five-Tails' chakra, was not in the mood to study the distribution of Tailed Beast chakra. He still needed to hurry back to make a sacrifice.
Returning to his tent, he once again transferred all the Five-Tails' chakra from the two large scrolls to the sacrificial altar.
The sacrifice began.
The sacrifice ended.
This time, he also got something good—a strangely shaped fruit that Kawaki Aoba recognized at a glance.
A Devil Fruit from the world next door, One Piece.
It was a fruit that was misty white all over, with swirling, mist-like patterns across its surface.
Kawaki Aoba had seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia and, even without any further information, immediately recognized it.
It was the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, known as the "shame" of the Logia type.
Kawaki Aoba's expression twisted. Being able to obtain a Logia-type Devil Fruit through sacrifice was naturally a good thing. But why did it have to be the Smoke-Smoke Fruit? Even the equally mediocre Swamp-Swamp Fruit, he was confident he could develop all kinds of tricks with. But this? What could he develop from this?
Although he could obtain the ability to become intangible and immune to physical attacks, Kawaki Aoba still said that anyone who wanted to eat this thing could do so, but he would not.
In his frustration, Kawaki Aoba even had the urge to go back and drain the Five-Tails' Jinchuriki again.
Of course, this was just a thought. After all, Tailed Beasts also needed time to recover their chakra.
As for using blue potions or soldier pills to replenish Han's chakra, that would be useless.
At that point, the only one who would be replenished would be Han, not the Five-Tails, Kokuo.
Unless Kawaki Aoba could release Kokuo and pour the blue potion into its mouth, which might allow it to regain its Tailed Beast chakra. But even if he were willing to do such a thing, Akimichi Takefu would definitely not want to take the risk.
Therefore, Kawaki Aoba could only wait for the other party to slowly recover chakra.
Looking at the Smoke-Smoke Fruit that he had thrown into the altar space, tasteless to eat and a pity to discard, Kawaki Aoba felt a wave of frustration.
He decided to ignore it for now to avoid seeing it and getting further annoyed. Instead, he went out to find an open space to familiarize himself with the energy in his body—something like chakra, but also like ki.
After finding a suitable spot, Kawaki Aoba began to try and unleash the energy in his body.
Ki Burst!
This was a fighting stance almost everyone in the Dragon Ball world knew.
Although Kawaki Aoba didn't know how to burst ki, this simple technique was not difficult to master after carefully exploring it a few times.
While exploring the ki burst technique, Kawaki Aoba also gained a rough understanding of his current body.
First of all, there was chakra. It wasn't just doubled as he had initially estimated. That was just Kawaki Aoba's initial judgment in a normal state, but now…
By consuming energy, Kawaki Aoba finally understood that his chakra reserves had become latent. Even if there was not much chakra left in his body, he could extract a lot more when needed for battle.
Although normal ninjas could also do it, their efficiency was incomparable to his.
Not to mention, if ordinary ninjas dared to recklessly squeeze their bodies to produce chakra, it would not only shorten their lifespans but also bring hidden dangers to their bodies.
Saiyan bloodline, yyds.
As time passed, Kawaki Aoba's control over the ki burst form gradually became more skilled.
"Ah ha!" With a loud shout that was very much like a Dragon Ball warrior, Kawaki Aoba finally figured out the ki burst form.
From this moment on, he could proudly say to everyone in the ninja world: my art style is above yours.
"Ah, this, Aoba, what kind of... ninjutsu are you developing again?" Several people walked over from a distance, and the one who said this was Akimichi Takefu, who was walking in the lead.
Originally, they wanted to see what Kawaki Aoba was going to do with so much Tailed Beast chakra. After all, Tailed Beast chakra was such a dangerous thing that it could cause irreversible damage to the body if used improperly.
As an older generation ninja in Konoha, Akimichi Takefu had personally witnessed ninjas being injured by the Nine-Tails' chakra.
