Rasa saw this scene and revealed a smile.
Although it consumed quite a bit of his Chakra, as long as he could restrain the enemy's firepower, his strategy would be successful.
Immediately, he turned to another part of the battlefield, and the smile on his face vanished.
Because during the moment when he used Gold Sand to block the cannon's muzzle, Ruri had already charged into the center of the Hidden Sand Squad, wreaking havoc and causing the Hidden Sand Ninja to lose their courage to advance.
One after another, Hidden Sand Ninja fell like grass cut by Ruri, collapsing in clusters on the sand.
In almost a few exchanges, nearly a hundred Hidden Sand Ninja lay in pools of blood along the path Ruri traversed.
Rather than ignoring, it was more like complete disregard; the flying Kunai and Shuriken, along with Ninja Techniques, completely could not keep up with Ruri's speed.
Every time they launched an attack, Ruri's image had already disappeared among flashes; a misstep could harm their own people, bringing great chaos within the Hidden Sand ranks.
As the number of encircling Hidden Sand Ninja increased, Ruri also gradually felt a trace of pressure.
She then jumped into the sky, completed the sealing motion with both hands in an instant, and took a deep breath.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Extinguishing!"
Boom!
The released sea of flames exploded directly onto the ground, spreading around terrifyingly like a mudslide.
In the flames over the border, screams persisted incessantly.
Under the scorching high temperature, countless charred and foul-smelling corpses fell and couldn't rise.
"With this..."
Looking at the terrified gazes of the Hidden Sand Ninja, Ruri was about to make her next move in the air when she suddenly realized something and turned her head.
A pyramid synthesized from Gold Sand appeared in the air, pointed directly at her body, flying rapidly, intending to penetrate her body in one go.
This kind of attack, Ruri also couldn't ignore; after all, ninjas are flesh and blood.
Thus, she quickly took out the Flame Circle Fan, held the handle with her right hand, supported the fan surface from behind with her left hand, using it to resist Rasa's pyramid attack.
The pyramid's tip pierced the fan of the Flame Circle Fan, the heavy force pressing on Ruri, making her completely unable to resist the impact, her body turned into a cannonball falling towards the ground.
Her body sank into the sand, and Ruri looked at the intact Flame Circle Fan in her hand, then gazed toward the sky.
She saw the pyramid that had struck the Flame Circle Fan paused in midair, and under Rasa's control, it quickly fell to the ground, intending to take advantage of the victory.
"That was a bit painful..."
Ruri said blandly, watching the pyramid becoming larger in her sight, dark red Chakra enveloped her body, instantly forming a giant half-body samurai, holding the Chakra Giant Sword with both hands, slashing forcefully at the oncoming pyramid.
The sword beam pierced through the center of the pyramid, splitting it in two, the jutsu ceased here, and the split pyramid rapidly disintegrated in the air, scattering golden rain.
"Susanoo, huh? But, the eyes are still the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, not the Mangekyo Sharingan..."
Rasa's eyes grew serious.
This state is identical to the scene in the previous battle.
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan has already used Susanoo; he had to reassess Ruri's actual combat strength.
Theoretically, only holders of the Mangekyo Sharingan can use the so-called 'Susanoo' technique, and the intelligence brought by Konoha undoubtedly confirmed this.
Yet, Ruri's Sharingan defied the norms... no, perhaps the Uchiha Ninja who joined the Land of Demons all seemed to defy these norms.
Although other Uchiha Ninja did not display as prominently as Ruri, they indeed exhibited these characteristics.
Kekkeigenkai, what an extraordinarily gifted talent, able to be favored by heavens so much, Rasa sighed inwardly.
"The warm-up ends here, Kazekage-sama, don't die so easily."
Ruri stood up from the sand, dusted off the clothes, and looked at Rasa, who was floating in the air using a platform made of Gold Sand.
"I'm the one who should say that; a mere renegade ninja shouldn't be so arrogant!"
Rasa said, reaching out through the void to grasp at Ruri, the Gold Sand surged through the sand like fierce waves, in an instant covering Ruri's body and Susanoo, forming an airtight cage underground.
After completing these preparations, Rasa jumped down from the Gold Sand platform, burying his hands into the Gold Sand, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
"Gold Sand Burial!"
Boom!
The intense explosion sounded from within the Gold Sand.
An invisible tremor rippled, wave after wave crashing toward the surroundings, causing the sand layer over a hundred meters to vibrate violently. Even the Ninja of the Land of Demons fighting against the Hidden Sand Ninja felt the massive power of this ninja technique.
Just when many Hidden Sand Ninja thought Rasa's jutsu had taken effect, having already resolved the enemy, a dark red Chakra Blade suddenly pierced through the Gold Sand, rising high and pointing to the sky, freezing the smiles on the Hidden Sand Ninja faces who thought victory was near.
Rasa also frowned, leaping back.
At the moment he jumped, the Chakra Blade fell down.
The dark red sword beam left a deep, lengthy sword mark on the sand, splitting the Gold Sand from the center, revealing Susanoo's giant half-body stature.
