The sudden whirlwind of fierce wind left Kitsuchi utterly dumbfounded.
What kind of technique was this? How had he never seen it before?
And everyone's hands for forming Hand Seals had been disabled. How could your ninjutsu still come out so smoothly?

"Shinra Tensei!"
Anyone who tried to jump out of the rocky pit was driven back in an instant by the terrifying force.
After three attacks in a row, the Iwagakure Ninja finally realized they were helpless against this technique—an unpredictable repulsion that required no
