The enormous voice echoed outside Sunagakure's gates.
Immediately, it drew the attention of countless people.
"Who's shouting outside?"
"He actually dares to call Kazekage-sama by name? How bold!"
"Who has that much nerve?"
The nearby shinobi quickly gathered.
When they saw Yagura leading the Kirigakure shinobi, their expressions changed sharply.
To ordinary Sunagakure shinobi, Yagura was indeed worthy of fear. After all, he was the high and mighty Mizukage.
Jinin Akebino and Fuguki Suikazan had both been defeated by him.
He could perfectly control the power of the Six-Tails.
"Quick, find Kazekage-sama!"
Yagura saw the panic on the faces of those Sunagakure shinobi and immediately revealed a smug look.
Kirigakure's previous defeat had made Yagura feel far too stifled.
And the contents printed in the Weekly Report on Major Shinobi Events had enraged him even more.
This time, Yagura had come here to vent.
All the humiliation and anger he had accumulated before—
This time, he would release all of it in one go.
"Rasa, come out and die!"
"You don't dare come out?"
"Then I'll destroy your Sunagakure!"
Just then—
A Kirigakure shinobi looked up.
"Mizukage-sama, be careful!"
Yagura instinctively raised his head.
He saw a figure hovering high in the sky, massive wings beating.
Beneath it, a series of white oval objects fell one after another.
Yagura's pupils constricted.
The Kirigakure shinobi beside him revealed expressions of horror.
"It's the Yatagarasu!"
"It's the Yatagarasu's explosive eggs!"
"Hurry, use Water Release to attack! Break the explosive eggs in midair, or we'll all die!"
One ninjutsu after another, one ninja tool after another, all flew toward the explosive eggs in the air.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Massive explosions rang out.
The entire space seemed to tremble. Large amounts of yellow sand filled the air, making it impossible for those inside to see even the people across from them.
The explosions continued.
"Move!"
"Scatter!"
Only after Yagura gave the order did the Kirigakure shinobi finally calm down.
But by then, less than half of the Kirigakure shinobi Yagura had brought remained.
Dozens of elite shinobi had lost more than half their number in that single attack.
The Sunagakure shinobi stood atop the wall. Seeing Rasa appear, they let out sighs of relief.
Then they looked at the battered Kirigakure group and began mocking them.
"This is Kirigakure's strength?"
"You came to Sunagakure's gate to provoke us, but didn't even weigh how much ability you had first?"
"You dare shout at Kazekage-sama?"
"With that level of skill?"
The Kirigakure shinobi were furious.
Especially Yagura.
A strange chakra surged out, enveloping Yagura's body and forming a cloak.
Rasa looked down from above.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust!"
The next moment, large amounts of gold dust condensed beside Rasa.
They transformed into sharp senbon.
Then they suddenly fell downward like a rainstorm.
Yagura raised his head. Chakra condensed before him, and a Tailed Beast Ball rapidly took shape, aimed directly at the Yatagarasu.
When the Kirigakure shinobi saw this, their confidence returned.
They had personally seen the miserable state of the Kaguya Fleet and the Ninja Blade Glory Fleet under that Tailed Beast Ball.
No one could withstand the damage of a Tailed Beast Ball.
The Sunagakure shinobi grew tense.
"Kazekage-sama is certainly powerful, but that is still a Tailed Beast Ball."
"Will the Yatagarasu be alright?"
Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to approach the Yatagarasu, Rasa stepped forward.
Instead of retreating, he took the initiative to meet the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Quicksand Displacement: Guide!"
Suddenly, Rasa's figure vanished.
And vanishing with him was Yagura's Tailed Beast Ball.
"Boom!"
Far in the distance, a massive explosion rang out.
An enormous crater appeared in the sand, sending countless grains of yellow sand flying into the air.
"The Tailed Beast Ball exploded!"
"Why did it go over there?"
The Kirigakure shinobi were shocked and confused.
The Sunagakure shinobi anxiously searched for Rasa.
"Where is Kazekage-sama?"
"Did Kazekage-sama just move the Tailed Beast Ball away?"
"There!"
A sharp-eyed Sunagakure shinobi spotted Rasa.
Rasa's figure stood beside a Sand Soldier puppet, completely unharmed.
There was not even the slightest injury on him.
Even his clothes remained perfectly neat.
Dealing with a Tailed Beast Ball looked no different from breaking an ordinary B-rank ninjutsu.
"What?"
Yagura's pupils shrank, and disbelief appeared on his face.
"Impossible!"
"That's impossible!"
"My Tailed Beast Ball was broken so easily?"
"How did that bastard do it?"
Yagura's face darkened.
"In that case, try this!"
Yagura gathered chakra into his legs and charged fiercely toward Rasa.
"Thud!"
The place where he had stood caved in directly.
Yagura's figure moved like a flash of lightning.
With a thought from Rasa—
"Sand Soldier Manifestation!"
Immediately, dozens of Sand Soldiers appeared, shields in their left hands and long spears in their right, surrounding Yagura.
The remaining Kirigakure shinobi rushed forward as well.
Some Sunagakure shinobi wanted to support Rasa, but they were stopped.
"No need. If you join, you will only get in my way."
What Rasa said was true.
But it was not entirely true.
It was because Rasa cared about the lives of these Sunagakure shinobi. He did not want them to die for nothing. When they fell into danger, he would act to save them, and that would negatively affect him.
Yagura, on the other hand, did not care about the lives of those Kirigakure shinobi.
He only hoped they could tie Rasa down.
Therefore, those Kirigakure shinobi would not negatively affect Yagura.
Wrapped in his chakra cloak, Yagura faced the Sand Soldier puppets head-on with direct force.
One punch landed.
The tremendous power shattered a Sand Soldier's head directly.
A blow to the chest left a huge hole.
But these were Sand Soldiers.
Sand Soldiers feared no death.
Even when badly damaged, they did not care at all.
The Kirigakure shinobi were different.
"Crescent Moon Sand Dune!"
Yellow sand coiled around one of Rasa's arms. During his attack, it shifted into all kinds of shapes.
Its ultimate purpose was to achieve close-range contact with the Kirigakure shinobi.
The moment it made contact, the power of Crescent Moon Sand Dune acted on those Kirigakure shinobi and directly drained the water from their bodies, turning them into dried corpses.
"Ah!"
One Kirigakure shinobi had not even understood what was happening before his mouth opened wide and he collapsed as a dried corpse.
"What is that?"
The Kirigakure shinobi revealed terrified expressions.
"Could it be Scorch Release?"
"But we're fighting Rasa, not Pakura!"
The Sunagakure shinobi also found it astonishing.
"Could it be that Kazekage-sama not only has Magnet Release, but Scorch Release too?"
"Then how strong is Kazekage-sama?"
"How is that little brat Yagura supposed to fight him?"
