Great Volcano Bullet

"Good luck?" Katsuki chuckled, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Whether it's good luck or bad luck, let's find out."

"Come on then, I'm not afraid of you!"

Rasa was extremely bold and responded directly to Katsuki's provocation.

"Magnet Release, Gold Dust Spear"

The Gold Dust Cloud also began to move rapidly, the golden sand transforming into long spears that shot towards Katsuki.

They acted swiftly and decisively, launching a fierce attack from the outset. A dense array of Gold Dust Spear were scattered haphazardly, seemingly chaotic, yet they completely blocked all of Katsuki's escape routes. There was nowhere to go but backwards.

However, it is conceivable that as long as Katsuki begins to retreat, she will face a continuous stream of attacks.

"Is that all? This thing can't hurt me." Katsuki casually waved her hand, and the Thunderclap Chariot beneath her feet immediately spewed out bolts of lightning spears, instantly filling the sky.

To fight fire with fire.

The lightning-guided spear and the Gold Dust Spear collided. The silvery-white lightning shattered the Gold Dust Spear, but the fine gold particles mixed in with the yellow sand also distorted the trajectory of the lightning-guided spear, causing unpredictable deviations and scattering it in all directions. Only a few spears hit the Gold Dust Cloud, which was no longer enough to pose a threat.

However, the initial objective had been achieved; Rasa's attack had been thwarted.

The Gold Dust Cloud churned violently, not because of the lightning gun, but because of Rasa's restless mood. A brief test had given him a very bad feeling. Katsuki gave him an indescribable sense of threat. Looking at the war chariot that was emitting deafening thunder, he felt a chill in his heart.

All of this came out of nowhere, from an instinctive feeling deep within my heart.

Suddenly, the Gold Dust Cloud fell to the ground, and Rasa's figure appeared above the Gold Dust wave. Of course, it was more likely that this was just a clone, but Katsuki didn't care about it. Compared to Rasa, he valued the silent Four-Tails Jinchuriki more.

Rasa's strength had reached the Jonin, and he could also obtain a decent ranking among Jonin by relying on his powerful Kekkei Genkai. However, he was still too young. Jinchuriki like Roshi were among the top masters in the Shinobi World, and the difference in experience was fatal.

"I've read the intelligence about you, Roshi of Stone Ninja. You're not an easy opponent to deal with!" Katsuki looked at Roshi, scratched his head, and found his scalp itchy from the excessive moisture in his hair.

"Is that so? Although only you know my name, I don't know yours... Oh well, it doesn't matter what I'm called after I die!"

Roshi squinted, staring at the Forehead Protector tied on Katsuki's forehead and the light green vest she wore. The killing intent in his heart was like the lava about to erupt from a volcano, filling his mind, and his eyes gradually turned bloodthirsty.

"... What a hot-tempered guy." Katsuki shook his head.

"Lava Release, Great Volcano Bullet"

A crimson Tailed Beast Cloak appeared on Roshi's body, and three blood-red tails twitched back and forth behind him. The magma beneath his feet began to boil violently, and then magma balls the size of millstones condensed and shot into the sky. Crimson fire rained down on the sky, creating an incredibly magnificent sight.

The terrifying heat evaporated the surrounding moisture in an instant. Rasa stepped on the Gold Dust waves and quickly retreated. As for Otoha, he had already dodged away. He knew his own condition and was temporarily unable to fight. Staying here would only be a burden to Katsuki.

"Pretty!"

Katsuki clapped his hands in praise, tiny red dots reflected in his dark pupils.

The next instant, thunder roared.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

The Anbu looked helplessly at Dan Katō. Their original orders were to protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and evacuate the battlefield as quickly as possible under Dan Katō's command. However, they did not expect that a logical contradiction would occur at the command level, Dan Katō would delay in giving them orders. This was truly a helpless situation.

"Of course, we must persevere! Perseverance leads to victory!"

A soft sound came from the rain.

Who is it?

Who is it?

The Anbu, feeling as if they'd been stabbed in the butt, howled and surrounded the newcomer in the rain, holding Kunai and katana to his neck.

Minato grabbed Kushina and almost used a spell to escape, but Kushina broke free from his grasp.

"Katsuki!"

Kushina suddenly unleashed her body's potential, lunging forward and pushing aside the circle of Anbu, grabbing the newcomer in one go... and then turning into smoke with a bang.

"Ah! Luckily, I anticipated this unexpected situation, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

Three more figures appeared silently, with red hair and black eyes, and the same helpless smile on their faces. It was obvious that they were all Shadow Clone.

Katsuki had anticipated from the beginning that there might be losses among the Shadow Clone, not necessarily because of Kushina. In order to deal with various emergencies and ensure that the message was successfully delivered, he deliberately sent out several more Shadow Clone.

"Katsuki, you've been missing for so long, where have you been? Do you know how worried I was..."

Kushina tried her best to smile to greet her younger brother who had narrowly escaped death, but tears kept streaming down her face, and her voice trembled with sobs, causing even her Shadow Clone to lose control of their own tears.

"Sister, look at me, I'm perfectly fine! I'm as lively as ever..."

A Shadow Clone approached Kushina, leading the still weak girl to the side. It quickly used Earth Release to create a shelter from the rain. The siblings chatted amongst themselves, and Kushina's emotions gradually stabilized.

"Teacher, you've lost a lot of weight in just a few days. You should take better care of your health." The other two Shadow Clone quickly walked up to Dan Katō, bowed, and greeted him.

"It's nothing, I just haven't been resting well lately. But you look quite different, Katsuki." Dan looked Katsuki up and down. "Is that your real body fighting over there?"

"Yes."

"Well... although I don't really want to admit it, I feel like your strength has already surpassed mine. I don't know whether to be sad or happy!" After ending the joke, I felt much more relaxed. "So, do you have any news to share? You're not just here to see your sister, are you?"

"Visiting my sister is one of the purposes, as for the second..."

"Phew, I see. It seems we really don't need to retreat anymore." Duan breathed a sigh of relief. Taking such a huge risk by keeping the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at bay had put him under immense pressure.

The news brought by Katsuki was undoubtedly a timely help, relieving him of his burden.
