Chapter 340 Gold Sand and Iron Sand! Luosha: High-Altitude Shuriken Technique!
"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
"Ice Release: Ice Dragon Swirling Tail!"
The moment Orochimaru and Tsunade led the Konoha forces to break through, Fujiwara Tetsuya smiled coldly.
He raised his hand and unleashed two high-level Water Release and Ice Release Ninjutsu towards the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, and others.
Under the enhancement of the endless water waves generated by the Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave, the chilling Ice Release continuously spread... The freezing scene it created along the way was many times more powerful than the one Fujiwara Tetsuya had unleashed during his previous battle.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Shower!"
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust!"
Facing the ice layer surging with the tide, the Third Kazekage's expression darkened, and he joined forces with Rasa... They successively released large-scale Magnet Release Ninjutsu, forming an absolute defensive barrier in front of them... The moment the Ice Release and Magnet Release Ninjutsu clashed, everyone heard a violent roar, followed by the entire ground beginning to tremble... As if suffering some terrifying damage, it continuously wailed.
"I have to admit... Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai is indeed too troublesome."
"Iron Sand and Gold Dust... Fortunately, this is the Land of Rain, not the Land of Wind, otherwise this battle would be difficult to fight."
As he murmured, Fujiwara Tetsuya slowly picked up kirimaru, which was stuck in the ground.
"Earth Release: Super Lightened Boulder Technique!"
"Indeed, as mentioned in the intelligence, Fujiwara Tetsuya possesses the ability to fly."
"Is it Ninjutsu, or some specific secret technique? A Bloodline?"
"It shouldn't be a Kekkei Genkai, after all, that brat already possesses the Ice Release Bloodline; if he also possessed another Kekkei Genkai, then he would be a legendary dual-Bloodline wielder..."
Seeing that Fujiwara Tetsuya's Ice Release Ninjutsu was suppressed by Magnet Release, Chiyo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly moved behind the Third Kazekage.
"However, no matter what... if that brat tries the same trick again, like he did in the Land of Frost!"
"Then he would be underestimating my Hidden Sand Village too much..."
"Rasa, you have now developed Magnet Release to a very profound level..."
"For the upcoming battle, you will assist Lord Kazekage... At the very least, you must knock that hateful brat down from the sky."
"Yes! Chiyo Advisor, I understand... I will not let him act so presumptuously on my Hidden Sand Village's territory."
"Magnet Release: Sand Cushion!"
"Magnet Release: Sand Wings!"
Ninja with the ability to fly in combat were already a rarity in the Ninja World.
Now seeing three at once naturally attracted the attention of countless Sunagakure Ninja, and even Orochimaru, who was breaking out, couldn't help but turn back to observe this rare sight.
"That's great... Then let's compare whose speed is faster, whose movements are more agile... and who flies higher."
Looking at the rapidly approaching Third Kazekage and Rasa, Fujiwara Tetsuya chuckled, stepping on kirimaru and quickly ascending into the sky, in an instant... he had reached a position five or six hundred meters above the ground.
"Brat... don't be too arrogant..."
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wings!"
The moment he performed the hand seals, the dark wings on the Third Kazekage's back changed again... Amidst countless tiny whooshing sounds, hundreds of thousands of feathers made of Iron Sand flew rapidly towards Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Brat, this Ninjutsu of mine... is not as simple as it appears on the surface."
"Not only is it fast, but it also has the ability to continuously track?"
Watching as the streaks of light he had dodged turned around again and shot towards him rapidly... Fujiwara Tetsuya's expression became slightly serious.
This one move alone was enough to prove that the Third Kazekage's development of the Magnet Release Bloodline was many times more advanced than Rasa's current level.
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
High in the sky, as the flying height became higher and higher, Rasa's expression grew increasingly depressed.
At this height, trying to refine Gold Dust became a joke... Currently, the only Gold Dust he could use was the lump beneath his feet.
Moreover, with his current level of Magnet Release mastery, he simply couldn't achieve the precise control like the Third Kazekage.
Among the offensive tools he could currently use, there were only the kunai and shuriken in his Ninja tool pouch... "He only has this one move to use over and over again!"
"Third Kazekage, it seems your aerial combat ability... is still far too lacking."
"To think you could defeat me with this level, it's truly a bit laughable..."
Laughable... But even more laughable than the Third Kazekage was undoubtedly Rasa.
Strictly speaking, when he saw Rasa throwing shuriken at him from a hundred meters away, he almost choked with laughter.
With the spread of the Ice Release, the Iron Sand feathers that struck the water curtain eventually turned into ice blocks, falling powerlessly from mid-air.
Seeing that his proud attack had no effect at all at this moment, the Third Kazekage's expression immediately darkened... He wished he had brought his gourd; that way... he wouldn't be so constrained by the lack of Iron Sand, forced to use such small-scale attack methods.
"Forget it, I'm not playing with you anymore..."
"Next, it's my turn to attack."
With a wave of his hand, the surrounding raindrops gradually gathered in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya... transforming into countless tiny, sharp ice needles, aimed at the Third Kazekage and Rasa below.
"What should I call this move?"
"Ice Shower? Ice Senbon... or Blazing Ice Pear Blossom Needles?"
"Never mind, the name doesn't matter, although its power is limited... but this terrifying quantity is enough to deal with you two..."
"Damn it... Rasa, be careful, don't let those ice needles hit the sand cushion beneath your feet."
In the Third Kazekage's embarrassed expression, over ten thousand tiny ice needles shot down simultaneously at that moment... stirring up furious sonic booms... "Cough ~ Lord Kazekage! Lord Rasa..."
The moment they fell, the Third Kazekage manipulated a large amount of Iron Sand to steadily catch him and Rasa... However, their slightly disheveled appearance could not escape the eyes of those present.
"Cough ~ Give the order, Ninja below the Jonin rank are to immediately evacuate the camp and retreat to the southwest, where... we have an abandoned camp, temporarily set up base there."
"Also, send a small squad to immediately return to the Hidden Sand Village to retrieve my Iron Sand Gourd..."
Suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's potentially imminent large-scale attack, the Third Kazekage raced against time to make battle arrangements.
"Additionally, have the high-ranking officials stationed in the Village find a way to get Rasa a gourd to store Gold Dust as well; in the upcoming battles... Rasa's strength is also indispensable."
"Lord Kazekage..."
Hearing the Third Kazekage's instructions, Rasa's eyes flickered, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.
"Cough ~ Lord Kazekage, I think it's time for the Village to strengthen its aerial combat capabilities..."
"Perhaps, we should establish an elite unit specifically to search the Ninja World for various flying Summoning Animals."
After the failure of the Third Kazekage and Rasa, the only two in the entire Sunagakure Camp with high-altitude combat capabilities.
Chiyo also temporarily accepted reality, however... this difficulty, for a Ninja Village of Hidden Sand Village's caliber, was only temporary; as long as there was enough buffer time, establishing forces to counter Fujiwara Tetsuya's flying ability was not something out of reach... or impossible to accomplish.
