Where Is Moonlight Man?

'Just as I expected, Rasa is wary of my abilities and doesn't dare let the Sand Shinobi face me alone.' Underground, Yueguang Han monitored the Sand Shinobi's every move through two DJI Drones in the sky. Seeing that only four ordinary Sand Shinobi were left behind, he felt relieved. Rasa was extremely wary of his abilities and didn't dare stay behind to investigate personally, fearing his Sand Shinobi squad would suffer counterattacks without him.

'Earth Style: Rising Earth!'

Saito, a Sand Shinobi, pressed his hands to the ground. The ground where Yueguang Han was hiding writhed and squeezed under the control of the ninjutsu, cracking open. The earth pushed Yueguang Han, who was hidden underground, out onto the surface.

"How could it be him?" When Yueguang Han's corpse was squeezed out of the ground by the writhing soil, the Sand Shinobi beside Saito's eyes widened in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Mahua, have you seen him?" Saito asked curiously. Mahua was a shinobi stationed at the valley stronghold and one of the shinobi who had fought the enemy and seen their true appearance.

"Lord Saito, he is the Konoha Young Shinobi we spoke of. He is the one who killed dozens of our shinobi...!" Mahua, the Sand Shinobi, said with difficulty. "His abilities are very powerful and strange. The shinobi we sacrificed all died by his hand."

"The Konoha Genius you mentioned is him? Why would Konoha Shinobi fight amongst themselves and kill him?" Saito, the Sand Shinobi, walked forward and carefully examined the corpse of Yueguang Han, who had been squeezed out of the ground by the soil. Seeing that the body was not fake, he couldn't understand why Konoha Shinobi would kill a genius from their own village, and such a rare and exceptional genius at that. If such a genius appeared in their Sand Village, let alone kill him, they wouldn't even dare let him risk his life on the battlefield.

"Perhaps the reason for their internal conflict was to kill this genius!" a Sand Shinobi suddenly said from behind the two.

"It seems this genius is not loyal to Konoha." Hearing this, Saito and Mahua nodded, finally understanding. The most likely scenario was that this Konoha Genius was not loyal to Konoha. If he were loyal, these Konoha Shinobi would have desperately protected him and would not have killed him unless absolutely necessary.

Although this Konoha Youngster was a genius with powerful abilities, judging by his age, his overall strength was not high. In the current situation, being chased in their territory, he would be a burden in terms of speed. Moreover, he was not loyal to Konoha. To avoid him falling into their hands, the Konoha Shinobi had killed him early.

"What a pity." The four Sand Shinobi sighed in unison, looking at Yueguang Han's corpse with regret. If they could have captured this youngster alive, there was a high chance they could have persuaded this genius youngster to serve the Sand Village.

"What's there to regret? Tell me about it!" an icy voice sounded in front of the four Sand Shinobi. After monitoring the main Sand Shinobi force chasing the Konoha Shinobi for three hundred meters, Yueguang Han finally decided to make his move.

"He's not dead!" Hearing the unfamiliar icy voice, the four Sand Shinobi were instantly terrified. But it was too late. Yueguang Han, who had been lying on the ground as a corpse, had his hands and feet instantly transform into light machine guns, aiming at them.

"Da da da..." In the next instant, dense gunfire erupted simultaneously, echoing far away.

"Da da da..." The dense gunfire resounded through the forest like firecrackers, reaching the ears of the Sand Shinobi chasing the Konoha Shinobi and the ears of the Konoha Shinobi fleeing ahead.

"This is bad!" Hearing the gunfire from behind, Rasa's expression turned extremely grim. He didn't need to think to know that the Konoha Genius Youngster was behind them, the very corpse they had just thought was dead. Coupled with the Konoha Shinobi fleeing ahead, this was an attempt to attack them from both sides.

"Lord Rasa, the Konoha Genius Youngster is behind us." Luo Fei, beside Rasa, said anxiously upon hearing the gunfire. That Konoha Genius Youngster was the most dangerous existence to them, and only Rasa's Gold Dust Magnetic Style could counter him.

"You deal with the Konoha Shinobi, I'll go deal with him." Rasa gritted his teeth and said. Before the Konoha Shinobi could turn back, he maintained the Gold Dust surrounding him, controlling the Gold Dust to levitate himself as he rushed towards the direction of the gunfire.

"The brat succeeded after all!" In front of the Sand Shinobi, Yueguang Xingye's expression brightened upon hearing the gunfire from behind. He quickly gave the order, "Everyone, it's time to counterattack! Keep Rasa busy, and the brat will be able to heavily damage the Sand Shinobi. We'll have a greater chance of returning to Konoha. Attack!"

"Kill!" Following Yueguang Xingye's order and roar, the Konoha Shinobi immediately shouted and turned back, charging towards the pursuing Sand Shinobi.

"Damn it, it's another trap."

When Rasa arrived at the place where the gunfire had sounded, his expression turned as ugly as if he had constipation.

He saw the four remaining Sand Shinobi lying on the ground, lifeless. There was a pit in the ground, indicating that his guess was correct. The Konoha Genius Youngster had indeed disguised himself as a corpse and buried himself in the earth, fooling their Sensory Shinobi. However, the Konoha Genius Youngster was not here now. The most likely scenario was that he knew Rasa would come, so he bypassed him to attack other Sand Shinobi, or he was hiding in the dark, ready to ambush at any moment.

Thinking of this possibility, Rasa dared not delay for a second. Maintaining the Gold Dust surrounding him, he hurried towards the Sand Shinobi's formation.

---------Meanwhile---------

On the other side, the Sand Shinobi had already engaged in a fierce battle with the Konoha Shinobi. The Konoha Shinobi fought like madmen, completely disregarding their own exhaustion or injuries as they clashed with the Sand Shinobi.

"Xingye, why hasn't your family's Yueguang Han started attacking yet?"

Amidst the chaotic battle, Mitarashi Shika, while fighting a Sand Shinobi, shouted to Yueguang Xingye. He was extremely anxious. If Yueguang Han didn't make a move soon, they would all likely die here. He was even more worried that Yueguang Han would escape alone, which would leave them with absolutely no chance.

"Rasa isn't here either. I'm afraid he's being held up by Rasa!" Yueguang Xingye replied anxiously. His heart was also filled with worry, but he was more concerned about Yueguang Han's safety. After all, Yueguang Han had mentioned that Rasa had a strong counter to his Bloodline Limit. He actually hoped Yueguang Han would escape alone. Their deaths wouldn't matter as much; Yueguang Han was the hope for their family's rise. As long as Yueguang Han lived, the family could rise and prosper.

"Rasa is here." When Mitarashi Shika noticed the golden glint at the edge of the battlefield, his face turned grim. It was the reflection of golden sand under the setting sun.

"He's not here either? Is he hiding in the shadows? Or has he already fled?"

When Rasa rushed back to the Sand Shinobi's formation, he looked at the Konoha Shinobi and his own shinobi locked in combat, but he couldn't find the Konoha Genius Youngster. His expression immediately darkened further. Regardless of the outcome, it was disadvantageous to them.

Even if they killed all these Konoha Shinobi, it would be nowhere near as significant as killing that single Konoha Genius Youngster. Whether it was for personal merit or in terms of the threat posed to the Sand Shinobi, all these Konoha Shinobi combined were far inferior to that one Konoha Genius Youngster. The number of Sand Shinobi who had died at the hands of that Konoha Genius Youngster was far greater than the number of these Konoha Shinobi.
