As the Konoha Ninjas advanced towards the Sand ninja camp led by Tsunade, the Third Kazekage also led his men to meet them.
Without any warning, the battle started.
Bunpuku directly transformed into Shukaku and confronted Tsunade.
Tsunade didn't waste any words. With three layers of buffs on her, she was enveloped in a bright red tailed - beast cloak.
"Today, I'll rip you to shreds with my bare hands."
Shukaku let out a wild roar and charged towards Tsunade.
He already knew that long - range attacks couldn't hit Tsunade, so now the combat was mainly hand - to - hand.
No wonder he had been getting beaten up these days. Hand - to - hand combat really wasn't his forte.
"I think you haven't gotten enough of a beating."
Tsunade leaped high into the air and lifted her foot, aiming to give Shukaku a good start.
Sakumo was surrounded by Yekura and the shadow guards. Both sides were extremely cautious and neither had come up with a way to break the situation.
Whoever made more mistakes would be more likely to fail.
"Kawaki Hatake, we meet again."
The Third Kazekage with wings on his back confronted Kawaki Hatake again.
"Your injuries are healed."
Kawaki Hatake raised his eyebrows and coldly stared at the Third Kazekage in mid - air.
You have to admit, being able to fly really gives one a bit of style.
"You'll find out if you give it a try."
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Giant Needles[b]Magnet Release: Iron Sand Giant Needles[/b].
The Third Kazekage launched a small attack like an appetizer at Kawaki Hatake. High - density compressed iron sand formed multiple sharp spears that rushed towards him at high speed.
Kawaki Hatake didn't even draw his sword. He just flashed and dodged the spears.
The black spears sank deep into the yellow sand, leaving no tip visible.
One could tell how powerful the force was.
"It's good that your injuries are healed. Then we can have a great fight."
Kawaki Hatake quickly approached the Third Kazekage with lightning flashing on his body and the Cursed Seal appearing at the corner of his eyes.
"Bang~"
A powerful strike directly penetrated the iron sand wall.
Kawaki Hatake quickly retreated, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach the Third Kazekage.
"So what if you penetrate it?"
The Third Kazekage had a smug look on his face. Kawaki Hatake still couldn't hurt him.
"Save your cocky attitude for later."
After forming hand seals, Kawaki Hatake summoned a lightning - attribute shadow clone.
The clone was flashing with lightning all over. One could only see its human - like shape but it seemed intangible.
Two bolts of lightning rushed towards the Third Kazekage undisguised, because there was still an eye made of condensed iron sand floating above his head.
Kawaki Hatake's real body kicked the iron sand wall apart with one foot, and the lightning - attribute shadow clone approached the Third Kazekage.
The shadow clone's figure loomed larger and larger in the Third Kazekage's eyes. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
A mere shadow clone wanted to deal with him.
He held his right palm outwards, and a huge iron sand spear instantly pierced through the shadow clone.
"I got him."
After landing, Kawaki Hatake whispered to himself and then dashed forward again.
"Boom~"
The shadow clone exploded amidst the Third Kazekage's cold laughter. The violent lightning - attribute chakra enveloped him.
"Ah~"
The Third Kazekage, wrapped in iron sand, twitched all over from the electricity and lost his balance, falling from the sky.
Kawaki Hatake came above the Third Kazekage at this moment. The lightning on his right foot was even more violent.
The Third Kazekage, unable to dodge in time, barely wrapped himself with his iron sand wings.
"You're just asking for it.
Kawaki stepped on the iron sand wings. The lightning - attribute Chakra spread along the iron sand onto the Third Kazekage. However, he didn't hear the expected scream.
"Huh?"
Kawaki felt something was wrong and immediately stepped back.
It was still a step too late.
The iron sand wings suddenly exploded, and countless tiny iron sand particles rushed towards Kawaki.
"When did this happen?"
Kawaki said in a tone of disbelief. He was still hit by the iron sand while retreating.
After getting away from the explosion point, Kawaki checked his injuries.
The pierced parts had already started to heal. There was still some iron sand in his body that needed to be forced out.
This little injury hardly had any impact.
"Cough... Tit for tat."
As the iron sand gathered into a human form, the Third Kazekage appeared not far from Kawaki.
There was still a faint electric light flashing on his body, and his facial expression was a bit unnatural.
"This little injury means nothing to me..."
Before Kawaki could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt that his body was out of control.
His movements were a bit uncoordinated, as if someone was competing with him for control of his body.
"Hehe, do you feel that your body is out of control?"
"My Magnet Release is not that simple."
The Third Kazekage stretched his body. Now the numbing effect had improved a lot.
Both of them were taking the opportunity to rest and didn't act rashly.
Kawaki endured the piercing pain and expelled the iron sand from his body one by one.
He could feel that the iron sand was hindering his healing and mobility.
If he had been hit by a large area of iron sand just now, he might even be able to manipulate himself to commit suicide.
As the last iron sand particle was expelled, Kawaki's wounds healed quickly, and he no longer felt any abnormality in his body.
His lightning - attribute possession was still far inferior to the Lightning Strike Armor of Kumogakure.
Even with the blessing of Sage Mode, he couldn't defend against the Magnet Release attack. The Third Raikage could even defend against the Wind Release that restrained the lightning attribute.
That was truly powerful. Kawaki couldn't help but yearn to study the secret jutsu of Kumogakure.
During the short rest of the two of them, Rasa found Minato and Nawaki again.
They didn't decide the winner last time. This time, when the three of them met, they were extremely hostile.
"You two brats, this time I'll make sure you have no place to bury your corpses."
Rasa raised his hand, and a series of gold dust kunai condensed. The two young ones easily dodged them.
"Stop talking big."
Nawaki stuck his sword on the ground and formed Hand Seals with both hands.
Nawaki said, "Water Release: Water Severing Wave[b]Water Release: Water Severing Wave[/b]."
This was the most powerful Water Release Ninjutsu that Nawaki had learned so far.
He quickly spat out a super - high - pressure straight water column from his mouth, which cut horizontally towards Rasa.
Rasa sneered and used the Gold Dust Wall to block in front of him. How powerful could the Water Release be?
The super - high - pressure water line spat out by Nawaki was like a sharp blade with extremely high destructive power.
To Rasa's surprise, the Gold Dust Wall was slowly cut open and was still advancing towards him.
"Damn it."
Rasa cursed and wanted to break free and leave.
"Where do you think you're going?"
By now, Minato had seen through his intention. He bypassed the Gold Dust Wall and quickly attacked Rasa.
It was the same scenario as last time. Minato's smooth combo knocked Rasa flying.
After Nawaki's Water Severing Wave[b]Water Severing Wave[/b] cut through the Gold Dust Wall[b]Gold Dust Wall[/b], it continued to slash at Rasa, who had fallen to the ground.
Rasa, whose body was constantly shedding gold dust, didn't dare to underestimate the incoming Water Severing Wave[b]Water Severing Wave[/b].
With a Sand Body Flicker, he left his original position, and the Water Severing Wave[b]Water Severing Wave[/b] cut a deep gully in the surrounding yellow sand.
Rasa couldn't accept it in his heart that he was beaten so badly in just the first exchange.
Rasa reappeared in front of the two young ones. His face was ashen, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"I'm going to get serious."
"Magnet Release, Sand Cushion[b]Magnet Release, Sand Cushion[/b]."
Rasa continuously output Chakra, using the gold dust to form a circle under his feet, and then he began Flight[b]Flight[/b].
"Magnet Release, Gold Dust Spear[b]Magnet Release, Gold Dust Spear[/b]."
Flying in mid - air, Rasa launched an attack on the two young ones from a high position.
A large number of gold dust formed into spears. Under the force of gravity and Rasa's control, they quickly rushed towards the two young ones.
"Get out of the way."
Minato led the way and dodged to one side. Nawaki originally intended to use Earth Release[b]Earth Release[/b] to directly resist the Gold Dust Spears[b]Gold Dust Spears[/b], but upon hearing Minato's warning, he swiftly used Water Body Flicker[b]Water Body Flicker[/b] to dodge away.
The Gold Dust Spears[b]Gold Dust Spears[/b] penetrated the place where the two were with great piercing power.
"Let's see where you two brats can run!"
Rasa was fearless in mid - air and crazily used Ninjutsu to pursue the two.
