Magnet Release and the Sharingan

It's true!

"I'm not lying to you."

You'll find out soon enough!

After the initial excitement subsided, Kushina leaned limply against the female Anbu's chest, still trying to widen her eyes as she stared at Minato, seemingly wanting to continue emphasizing the results of her perception.

"Southwest?"

Dan Katō gazed at the southwestern sky, where dark, rolling clouds stretched out.

"My lord, it's time to set off."

The Anbu whispered a reminder.

"Kushina, it's time to go." Dan looked at Kushina. Because of Katsuki, he had gotten to know the girl through various reasons.

"Senior Dan... Well, let's go." Kushina hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. She didn't say anything willful. She firmly believed that her senses were correct. Although she was worried about Katsuki's safety, she couldn't offer any help right now. Rather than staying here and causing worry, it was better to leave.

"Boom!!!"

Just then, thunder rumbled from the distant sky.

"Um?"

Dan Katō had raised his foot, retracted it and looked up at the sky.

Because of the Spirit Transformation Technique, his intuition has become increasingly powerful. It is not just ordinary perception, but a sensitivity to powerful beings. For example, Jinchuriki are different from ordinary people in his eyes. It's not just a matter of Chakra, but also that their souls are full of abnormalities.

To become Jinchuriki, one must possess first-rate talent and bloodline. Furthermore, after becoming Jinchuriki, being imbued with the aura of Tailed Beast makes one even more extraordinary.

The instant the thunder roared, he sensed an extremely powerful aura of life. The strangest thing was that this aura was in the sky, and it covered a large part of the firmament. It seemed that the distant thunder and lightning contained the aura of a soul. Also, he felt that this aura was familiar.

"Grown ups?"

The Anbu looked at Dan Katō in confusion, wondering why he had suddenly stopped moving again!

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, perhaps... things will change!"

He was filled with uncertainty, but after careful consideration, he still wanted to take the gamble. He was unwilling to retreat just like that.

Although the hope was slim, and even if his inspiration was correct, it was difficult for one person to make much of a difference, his intuition told him it was worth the gamble. Ninjas had a great deal of trust in intuition, this mysterious and elusive thing, sometimes even to the point of overriding reason.

The thunder grew louder and louder, and bright streaks of lightning, like silver snakes, could be seen dancing wildly in the southwestern sky.

"It's Katsuki!"

Kushina, supporting herself on the shoulders of the female Anbu, shouted excitedly.

"In the sky... Katsuki's Chakra fluctuations are in the sky? How did he do that? That's amazing!"

"I don't understand!"

Minato stared blankly at the sky, even with his intelligence, he was bewildered by this chaotic information!

"Hmm, spotted a kid from Konoha!" Rasa grinned. "And it's someone I know... My luck is pretty good!"

"Konoha brat? What direction are you from?"

Roshi asked.

"A person is rushing in from the northwest. It's a disciple of the Uchiha Clan, and he's already awakened his Sharingan."

"Uchiha ... Uchiha is worth hunting. Shall you go or shall I?" Roshi looked at Rasa.

On the surface, Roshi was full of contempt for the young Rasa, but in reality, he valued him greatly. Rasa's abilities were worthy of his attention, and he was a strong person who needed to be regarded as an equal.

"Leave it to me. I happen to have some old grudges with that brat that I need to settle." Rasa cracked his knuckles, making a series of popping sounds.

"Sensory Ninjutsu?"

As Otoha ran wildly, his sharp eyes pierced through the rain and saw the striking Chakra color. Although the Sand Eye was small in size, it contained a lot of Chakra, which was very clear in his Sharingan vision.

He's a master.

The extremely high quality Chakra emanating from the Sand Eye is enough to demonstrate the caster's power.

"Magnet Release: Gold Sand Shuriken"

With a whooshing sound, dark golden Shuriken shot towards them. Otoha remained calm and composed, wielding his katana to deflect all the Shuriken without missing a single one.

"Impressive, as expected of a disciple of the Uchiha Clan." The golden quicksand churned and stopped a dozen meters in front of Otoha. No one could be seen, only his voice came from within the quicksand.

"If you have the guts, speak up. What kind of person are you, sneaking around like this?"

"Haha, you're joking. I've been taught since I was a child not to make Sharingan. In fact, it would be foolish to rush out now!"

Otoha frowned deeply. Every corner of the golden sand was filled with the aura of Chakra. Even the Sharingan couldn't discern Rasa's true form. It was like trying to pick up a drop of water from a lake; the two were essentially the same thing.

"Earth Release: Sandstone Flow"

As Rasa gave a soft shout, the soft ground began to turn into sand, but not quickly, Otoha easily jumped out of the sandy area.

"Is the moisture content too high? This is a headache..." Rasa's voice sounded surprised, as he hadn't expected to suffer a setback from nature. The humid climate of the Land of Rain greatly affected his performance.

"Earth Release: Mud Swamp Technique"

Although both Otoha and Rasa use Earth Release, they follow different paths. Rasa's Earth Release are, strictly speaking, unorthodox, with everything revolving around the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai ability. Otoha's Earth Release, on the other hand, are more conventional, representing the second elemental Ninjutsu he has mastered after Fire Style.

The already moist, soft soil, catalyzed by Chakra, easily transformed into a vast, swampy mess, engulfing the golden quicksand.

Compared to Rasa's less-than-ideal performance, Otoha was like a tiger with wings. The simple C-rank Earth Release, under the influence of the environment, displayed power no less than that of a B-rank Ninjutsu. The vast swamp was rapidly engulfing the quicksand, and the sand dunes could be seen collapsing at an extremely fast speed.

"Magnet Release, Gold Dust Cloud."

Rasa clearly hadn't expected to suffer such a great loss in just one probing exchange. He immediately stopped holding back, and the golden sand soared into the air, abandoning the parts that had gotten into the mud. The remaining golden sand enveloped Rasa, who was hiding within it, and they quickly escaped from the muddy swamp.

"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique"

"Magnet Release, Desert Wave."

Otoha's combo was blocked by the golden sand that shot up like a forest of spears. The fire dragon shattered the Gold Dust spikes that pierced out, but it failed to affect the large mass of golden sand.

Rasa successfully escaped from the mud.
