Chapter 961: Chapter 57: Arrival
After the Kunai rained down like a storm, many Hidden Sand Ninja were wounded, and with Ruri disrupting their formation single-handedly, they couldn’t shift their focus elsewhere.
This way, Ruri created an incredibly easy battle environment for the Ninja of the Land of Demons, who were about to join the battlefield.
From the very beginning, Ruri also had the intention of training the soldiers, which led her to actively choose to act as bait for the squad, making it impossible for the Hidden Sand Ninja to focus on anything else.
After all, without her as the commander, even if they ambushed Hidden Sand early, Ruri believed it would end in a victory for Hidden Sand.
Half of the Ninja from the Land of Demons who followed were inexperienced recruits, and even with favorable intelligence and weapons, it was completely unrealistic to defeat such a formidable enemy like the Hidden Sand Ninja.
Both sides were now fully engaged, and although the ambush by the Ninja of the Land of Demons alarmed some of the Hidden Sand Ninja, the situation on the battlefield could change in the blink of an eye, leaving them no time to delve into the reasons.
Why were the Ninja of the Land of Demons connected to Konoha Renegade Ninja?
They didn’t need to ponder; they only needed to know that whether it was the appearing Ninja squads from the Land of Demons or the Konoha Renegade Ninja, they were all enemies of Hidden Sand.
The same was true for Rasa. Although he had some guesses about the truth, they were still guesses, and with the current battlefield situation, he didn’t have much time to think about the specific reasons.
Whether it was condemning the collusion between the Land of Demons and the Renegade Ninja, or complaining about Konoha’s excessive indulgence of Renegade Ninja, the primary task was to first deal with the enemies before him.
Rasa took a deep breath, his hands forming seals, and golden sand surged from the desert like seawater. This was Gold Sand, far more powerful than ordinary sand.
This was an exclusive Magnet Style Jutsu of the Hidden Sand Village, different from the Magnet Style of the Third Kazekage, which controlled iron sand. As the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa’s Magnet Style controlled Gold Sand, which was no less potent than iron sand.
The power of both surpassed that of ordinary sand.
A massive cube made of Gold Sand rose skyward and hurled ferociously towards the Ninja squad from the Land of Demons charging into the battlefield.
Seeing the Kazekage personally take action, and with such a large-scale Gold Sand Secret Jutsu from the start, the morale of the Hidden Sand Ninja was boosted, echoing the land with the sounds of battle as they charged at Ruri.
Ruri coldly observed the approaching Hidden Sand Ninja, her peripheral vision catching sight of the huge cube of Gold Sand swiftly hurtling towards the squad from the Land of Demons.
It was a super-sized heavy object purely made of Gold Sand; if allowed to fall, it would undoubtedly cause massive damage to the squad from the Land of Demons.
Indeed, as long as it was one of the Five Kage, there was no such thing as a weakling.
However, Ruri was not worried at all, as accompanying her were Jonin Uchiha from the same clan.
They were the absolute main force among the Ninja squad of the Land of Demons.
Even facing the Fourth Kazekage, united, they might be able to confront him to some extent.
With their Three-Tomoe Sharingan activated, just like Ruri’s, three Uchiha Ninja charged forward, liberating the power in their eyes completely.
Skeletal Chakra Armor covered the bodies of the three Uchiha Ninja, and the color of the skeletal armor was just the basic Chakra color. They fearlessly collided head-on with the massive cube of Gold Sand in the air.
Boom!
The Gold Sand cube showed noticeable cracks, and fine Gold Sand scattered like golden rain.
The three Uchiha Ninja were also pushed back, with their skeletal armor merely vibrating, their faces slightly pale.
The weight of the Gold Sand far exceeded their expectations.
Especially in a desert environment, Rasa could condense Gold Sand objects of incredible power with minimal Chakra.
Despite this, they did not underestimate Rasa.
Although the terrain granted Rasa enhanced strength, it wasn’t enough for a change in quality.
It was simply because Rasa’s strength was already very formidable, and combined with the unique desert environment, he appeared even more powerful.
"Did they block it? And they’re Uchiha Clan Ninja... able to materialize Chakra, similar to ’Absolute Defense.’"
Seeing his Gold Sand Jutsu being blocked, Rasa’s puzzlement deepened, yet he didn’t dwell on it much longer and immediately began the next move.
Endless Sea of Gold Sand surged from behind him towards the sky, forming a tsunami-like scene, and charged even more fiercely at the squad from the Land of Demons.
In a desert environment where he could fully exert his power, Rasa feared nothing more than group battles.
In such terrain, he alone could unleash the strength of an entire powerful army.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Scores of Ninja advanced, directly using Fire Style Jutsu to block the Sea of Gold Sand from Rasa.
Continuous bombardment halted the advance of the Sea of Gold Sand.
Yet before they could rejoice for long, the Sea of Gold Sand surged again, charging forward undiminished in power.
Unlike the one-time attack of Fire Style Jutsu, Rasa could replenish Gold Sand from the desert anytime, anywhere. In the desert, competing with him in Ninja Technique consumption was unwise.
Watching the Ninja of the Land of Demons dodge attacks in all directions, Rasa had accomplished his goal of cutting the enemy’s formation.
Then he turned to look at the battlefield where Ruri was, swathes of Hidden Sand Ninja were cut down like grass, revealing a hint of gloom in his eyes.
