The hurricane swirled with scorching heat waves sweeping in all directions, the warehouse burning in a blazing fire, its corners collapsing, bringing about a panic of shouts from many Hidden Sand Ninja.
In less than a minute, the Hidden Sand Command Center turned into a battlefield filled with smoke.
Rasa witnessed the scene before him and deeply felt the fearsome and troublesome nature of the Land of Demons.
With the warehouse ablaze, it's practically beyond saving, leaving Rasa to watch helplessly as the supplies were ruined.
Despite the anger at the enemy's methods, Rasa remained calm, maneuvering Gold Sand to arrange a thick barrier wall around and above the warehouses not yet affected, blocking enemy incursions.
Tenyu released a storm, spreading the fire within the Hidden Sand Command Center, causing chaos.
These actions didn't concern Rasa.
As long as the remaining warehouse supplies were intact, it meant the enemy's actions failed, and the Hidden Sand defense succeeded.
Due to the need to protect the warehouse area, Rasa had to focus most of his efforts on maintaining the Gold Sand Jutsu, unable to divert attention to attack the enemy.
The guarding Jonin noticed this and arranged Rasa in the center of a '卍' formation, vigilant against sudden explosive light attacks from the air.
Red light flashed incessantly on the giant gem, at this moment, Dominator 001 seemed frantic, like an unpredictable child, about to make the next move when suddenly the sound of the air piercing reached its ears, instinctively causing a side turn to dodge the incoming attack.
A dark shadow flew past the mechanical body, fleeting and lightning-fast.
Dominator 001 twisted the bearing on its neck, turning its head to see the dark shadow body that flew past itself.
It was a puppet wrapped in black clothing, with eight arms extending from beneath the clothing, moving freely in the air, like octopus tentacles beginning to extend, winding toward its mechanical body.
Of course, Dominator 001 wouldn't let itself fall into the puppet trap, trying to move backward when suddenly its body stiffened.
It was as if it was restricted by some jutsu, unable to move.
On the ground, an elderly Hidden Sand Ninja revealed a cunning smile.
With one hand, he controlled the puppet, equipped with eight arms, and with the other, formed durable Chakra Threads, linking them to Dominator 001's mechanical body, restricting its movements.
Although the constraint of the Chakra Threads lasted only a moment, it was enough.
The eight arms, resembling extended octopus tentacles, quickly wrapped around Dominator 001's body, tightening with each arm exerting a restraining force akin to a python's strength.
Each extended arm was inscribed with a jutsu to harden the arms, displaying such formidable binding strength.
"Attack quickly, I can't restrain it for long!"
The opponent's Chakra felt incredibly heavy to the elderly Sand Ninja, his puppet, like restraining a gradually rampaging beast, with the opponent using terrifying brute force to break free from the puppet's jutsu.
This kind of creature, he hadn't encountered in a long time.
It reminded him of past battles with the One-tailed Shukaku, though the pressure was not as exaggerated as facing a Tailed Beast.
Seeing the bizarre mechanical humanoid immobilized by the puppet, the Sand Ninja rallied fiercely, immediately adjusting the crossbow firing trajectory, and suddenly countless arrows flew toward Dominator 001's body.
Each arrow was affixed with an explosive tag, everyone anticipated the sight of the enemy shattering into pieces.
Just as the Sand Ninja's faces showed joy, a figure flickered before Dominator 001, clasping hands together, internal Natural Energy and Chakra began to merge, producing abundant Sage Art Chakra, instantly condensed within the body.
The owner of the figure was none other than Tenyu.
Black hair fluttered mid-air, pupils transforming in a gradient trend, emitting deep purple transitioning to azure, spreading inorganic light outward layer by layer.
Sage Art: Ashes!
Under Tenyu's jutsu, the strange white light spread across the night sky like ink.
Within that whiteness, a terrifying energy brewed.
Sound dissipated in the ears.
The surrounding air stilled.
With the propulsion of the arrows, the explosive tags in the sky began exploding, intense flames scattering wildly, alongside atmospheric shock waves, yet the sound was swallowed by the white light.
After a brief few seconds, the flames too were engulfed by the white light curtain completely.
The people's vision instantly lost color, plunged into a pale world, losing a sense of direction.
"What-what is that?"
"You've got to be kidding!"
The Sand Ninja stared dazedly at the scene in the sky.
It was as if they couldn't believe all this, unable to understand what jutsu the enemy used to engulf the flames and shock waves from the many explosive tags, along with the sound of the explosion.
The white light like water bubbles slowly dissipated in the night sky, returning to normal night color.
Tenyu took a gentle breath, though it was difficult, after all, she intercepted it with jutsu.
If her foolish brother were heavily injured here, Father would be furious.
