Charizard

"Lightning Release? I'm afraid I have to apologize, brat! What I excel at most is exactly the Wind Release that counters you!"

Watching the lightning flash through the flying sand, the Sunagakure jonin wore a ferocious expression as he rapidly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release—Wind..."

Pfft!

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out amidst the cacophony of a thousand birds chirping, and lightning bloomed in the center of the Sunagakure jonin's chest.

"Elite jonin? Hah, is this the level you deserve? You, with such slow hand seals, are truly a piece of trash."

Looking at the lightning that had pierced his abdomen, the Sunagakure ninja, still in the middle of forming seals, felt nothing but disbelief and panic. Hearing the whisper in his ear, his first thought was whether he had fallen under a genjutsu.

However, the searing pain in his abdomen told him that all of this was real.

He... had actually been killed by a brat.

As the lightning wreaked havoc within his abdomen, the Sunagakure jonin's eyes lost their luster.

[Defeated B-rank target, obtained B-rank gacha draw: 1]

"Tch, as expected. Even though he called himself an elite jonin, his strength was only that of an ordinary jonin. Sunagakure trash."

Hearing the data notification, Uchiha Gen pulled his hand from the Sunagakure jonin's abdomen with a calm expression. Looking at the blood staining his arm, his demeanor remained indifferent, his scarlet Sharingan spinning gently.

"Fully adapted, then."

His Sharingan had clearly seen the entire process of the Sunagakure ninja being pierced by the Chidori and dying.

Drawing blood was not his primary goal; adapting to slaughter was.

Ignoring the corpse on the ground, Uchiha Gen continued forward. He wanted to accumulate as many gacha draws as possible before Sunagakure retreated.

"F-fake... this has to be fake."

A Yamanaka ninja responsible for scouting the battlefield and locating enemy intelligence watched in shock as Uchiha Gen flickered through the crowd. Every time a blade of light accompanied by lightning flashed, a small gap appeared in the Sunagakure ranks.

Although Uchiha Gen was only killing chunin, such high-efficiency killing was something even many jonin or elite jonin could not achieve.

Blood splattered. Clad in a golden aura and gripping Mingzun, Uchiha Gen was completely lost in the slaughter. Every time an enemy fell, a data notification rang in his ears.

By now, he had already obtained over fifty C-rank gacha draws, and his B-rank gacha count had increased by three. Including that trash who called himself an elite jonin, that made four!

At this moment, the Yin Seal on Uchiha Gen's forehead had been activated. Although the time spent accumulating chakra was still short, it was sufficient for a battle like this.

To avoid wasting too much chakra and qi, Uchiha Gen chose his targets carefully, focusing on chunin. In his view, obtaining more gacha draws was the only absolute truth.

Sunagakure would not launch large-scale offensives like this often, so he had to seize this opportunity.

The sheer number of gacha draws obtained in this battle would allow his strength to undergo a massive leap!

As lightning danced upon Mingzun and Uchiha Gen swung his blade toward a new target, the sand on the ground surged. Uchiha Gen's expression shifted, and he quickly retracted his blade, flashing backward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The moment Uchiha Gen dodged, several sharp spears of Gold Sand erupted from the ground.

"Brat of Konoha, you are being a bit too presumptuous."

A cold voice drifted from afar. At the same time, golden sand began to drift through the air unnoticed, shimmering gently under the reflection of the sun.

"Gold Sand... tch, a troublesome guy has arrived."

Watching the falling Gold Sand, Uchiha Gen frowned slightly.

At this stage, the only ninja in Sunagakure who could use this technique... could only be Gaara's father.

"It's Lord Rasa, the disciple of the Kazekage!"

As the Gold Sand drifted down, someone among the Sunagakure ninja exclaimed in shock.

"All Sunagakure ninja, retreat behind me immediately! Magnet Release—Gold Sand Waves!"

As he spoke, Rasa raised his hands to form seals. The ground surged, and countless waves of Gold Sand rolled toward the Konoha side like a tidal wave, covering everything in its path, including Uchiha Gen.

The Gold Sand did not move quickly, but its range was immense. Almost everything within the visible range was engulfed by the surging sand.

Watching the Gold Sand swell and press closer toward his battlefield, Uchiha Gen's eyes turned cold. He reached out and pressed a hand to his wrist.

"It's time to let these people witness your power. Come out, Charizard!"

"ROAR!!!!!"

Violent flames soared into the sky, wrapping Uchiha Gen in a pillar of fire. Accompanied by a dragon's roar, a pair of wings violently pierced through the flames. With a single powerful flap, the fire surrounding Uchiha Gen was dispersed.

The next moment, an orange-red fire dragon carried Uchiha Gen into the sky.

Standing on Charizard's back, Uchiha Gen stared coldly at the direction where Rasa stood.

"Charizard, Flamethrower."

At Uchiha Gen's command, scorching flames poured down from the sky, aimed directly at Rasa, who was controlling the Gold Sand on the ground.

"A summoning beast that can fly and possesses powerful Fire Release... very impressive. However, in this desert, even a Kage cannot harm me in the slightest."

Watching the massive pillar of fire descending from the sky, Rasa remained calm, raising his hand to weave a seal as countless grains of gold dust surged up around him, wrapping him tightly within.

The flames surged, the searing heat rapidly melting the gold dust; layer after layer of sand fused and fell away, only to be immediately replaced by fresh sand covering the surface.

Tsk, a supernatural world truly doesn't care for overly detailed science. The essence of high-temperature demagnetization is that rising temperatures disrupt the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials, causing the orderly arrangement of atomic spin magnetic moments to be thrown into chaos by thermal motion; once the Curie temperature is exceeded, the material loses its magnetism.

And while this Magnet Release bloodline of Rasa's is called Magnet Release, it has a fundamental difference from true magnetism. Since that's the case, Charizard, coordinate your attacks with me, and occasionally breathe fire into the sky.

Watching the sand fortress engulfed by Charizard's flames without showing the slightest sign of a breach, Uchiha Gen gave a soft instruction to the Charizard beneath him before immediately leaping from its back.

"Roar!"

Receiving the command, Charizard let out a furious bellow, dark green energy rapidly wrapping around its claws as three sharp energy blades extended from each one.

Dragon Claw!

Following the direction of Uchiha Gen's descent, Charizard spread its wings to keep pace, and while unleashing Dragon Claw, it also obeyed Uchiha Gen's instruction by breathing a mouthful of flames toward the sky.
