Seeing this, Rasa remained completely calm. On one hand, he skillfully used the gold dust he had already converted to build solid defenses against the fierce waves of attacks; on the other hand, he quickly created a sand platform made entirely of gold dust.
Once everything was ready, Rasa took a deep breath and fiercely thrust both hands into the mountain-like pile of gold dust before him.
In an instant, a deep and shocking rumble came from the ground, as if the whole earth was trembling.
At the same time, the previously calm gold dust suddenly seemed to come alive and began surging violently.
First, it gathered into enormous waves, then layered and fused together.
In the end, it formed a towering golden wave peak that crashed toward Gaara with overwhelming force.
Taking advantage of this opening, Rasa's figure flashed, lightly jumping onto the gold dust platform he had just created.
Without even turning back to look at Gaara, he pushed off with his feet, driving the platform like an arrow toward the huge breach blasted open earlier by Shukaku's Tailed Beast Bomb.
Because he knew very clearly that if he could not escape soon, death would be waiting for him before long.
From Namikaze Minato's powerful sealing technique that could cover the entire inner area of Konoha, it was obvious how unfathomable his strength and chakra reserves were.
Although Rasa did not know Minato was actually the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, just sensing that terrifying amount of chakra from him was already enough to fill him with fear.
He knew the gap between himself and Minato was like heaven and earth. They were not even comparable.
At that moment, the enormous gold dust wave surged toward Gaara like a collapsing mountain and crashing sea.
However, facing this fierce attack, Gaara showed no panic at all.
He rapidly waved both hands, and the sand he had previously strengthened seemed to answer his call, gathering back together.
In the blink of an eye, the sand formed an incomparably solid half-sphere shield in front of him, successfully blocking the fierce gold dust wave.
Not only that, a sand platform formed beneath Gaara's feet, carrying him like an arrow straight toward Rasa.
At the same time, he controlled the surrounding sand to turn into sharp whips that lashed through the air, continuously striking toward Rasa.
Seeing this from midair, Rasa could only fly and dodge with all his strength while forming gold dust whips to block and defend.
However, because Gaara's attacks were extremely fierce and nonstop, Rasa had no chance to focus on anything else, let alone stop and counterattack.
He could only desperately keep flying toward the outskirts of the city, hoping to get rid of this troublesome opponent as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Haku, who had been waiting nearby for a chance to move, saw that Rasa only wanted to avoid fighting and immediately chose to help without hesitation.
In an instant, countless pitch-black mysterious markings appeared across Haku's body.
His hands formed seals. As large amounts of chakra were mobilized from within him, a chilling coldness began spreading through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding temperature dropped, as if even the air itself was about to freeze.
"Sage Art, Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystal Domain!"
Buzz!
Along with a violent trembling in space, a powerful wave of energy spread out at astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, within a radius of several hundred meters, countless ice mirrors radiating piercing cold suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The mirrors were arranged in layers like an indestructible cage, trapping both Gaara and Rasa inside.
Rasa's expression became extremely ugly as he stared around in disbelief.
This was clearly Konoha Village. How could someone here use such a powerful Ice Release technique?
"Don't think you can stop me!"
Rasa roared and rapidly waved both hands.
Countless amounts of gold dust burst out from his body like a surging golden flood, gathering in the air into an enormous sphere of gold dust.
Then Rasa unleashed his signature ninjutsu, Magnet Release: Gold Dust World Method!
The huge gold dust sphere violently trembled and twisted, as if it had gained life.
Then it shot out like an arrow from the bow, carrying terrifying force as it smashed toward the ice mirrors.
However, what happened next left Rasa stunned and horrified.
Only a nonstop series of crisp sounds rang out.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The flying gold dust seemed to have slammed into the hardest wall in the world and was mercilessly bounced back.
As for the ice mirrors, forget breaking them, not even the slightest crack appeared.
These were not ordinary ice mirrors. They were condensed from sage arts. Their toughness was far beyond what Rasa's gold dust could shake.
Facing this situation, Rasa's expression became even gloomier as he silently cursed his bad luck.
He never expected to become trapped inside this prison of ice mirrors.
"Rasa, die!"
Along with Gaara's murderous roar from behind him, countless sharp spikes condensed from sand shot toward Rasa like a violent storm.
Facing the sudden and fierce attack, Rasa did not dare relax for even a moment. He hurriedly mobilized the chakra in his body, controlling the nearby gold dust to rapidly gather together.
In the blink of an eye, it formed a sturdy spherical shield that completely covered him.
Inside the gold dust sphere, Rasa did not sit still waiting for death. His hands rapidly formed seals.
In an instant, the gold dust outside began writhing, quickly reorganizing into a golden eye.
Right after that, the gold dust surrounding Rasa changed again, transforming into countless sharp spikes.
With piercing sounds tearing through the air, they shot toward Gaara.
For a moment, one side was roaring sand while the other was unstoppable gold dust. The two collided violently in the air like two raging floods.
Every clash produced earth-shaking explosions and dazzling flashes, while shattered grains of sand and broken pieces of gold dust scattered down like rain.
In this battle, both sides released powerful chakra without holding back, continuously pouring it into their attacks.
