With One Man's Strength, Defeating Half of Sunagakure (2)

"Damn it, you bastard, do you completely disregard us!" roared Jinhe, a Sunagakure Ninja jonin.

"Everyone, use Wind Release to crush him." After regaining his composure, Ebizo abandoned the thought of retreating and began commanding the jonin unit.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"

The Sunagakure jonin unleashed various Wind Release techniques in succession, the jutsus tearing through the atmosphere and emitting sharp, whistling shrieks.

Wind Release chakra, manifesting in various forms, surged violently toward Uchiha Iori.

Iori glanced at the incoming Wind Release and shook his head, thinking: As expected of the weakest hidden village; to think so few jonin know A-rank ninjutsu. Truly disappointing.

He sighed, his Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly activating, the six-pointed star spinning frantically within his eyes.

"Susanoo," Iori said indifferently, "experience this god-like power."

In an instant, a black giant condensed and took shape around him; the third-form Susanoo descended upon the world like an Asura demon god.

"Fools who dare to launch an attack against a god, let me see your strength!"

The Wind Release chakra continuously slammed against the armor of the Susanoo, stirring up countless ripples, yet it lacked the power to shake the giant.

The expressions of the Sunagakure ninjas changed drastically; their attacks hadn't even forced the opponent to consider defending or dodging.

In their desperation, their gazes could only turn toward their leader, the Kazekage, Rasa.

They hoped he would defeat Uchiha Iori, or at the very least, turn the tide of the battle.

Although Rasa lacked confidence, he knew that he absolutely could not back down at this moment.

He stepped forward, his hands moving through seals rapidly, and he shouted in a low voice: "Magnet Release: Gold Sand Cube!"

Instantly, a massive cube of gold sand condensed before him, crashing toward Iori with immense force.

This time, Iori did not choose to take the hit head-on; instead, he swung the arm of his Susanoo, and the gold sand cube split in two upon impact.

However, to Iori's surprise, the gold sand did not stop there.

It rapidly coalesced in mid-air and struck at Iori once more, its power seemingly undiminished.

The gold sand slammed into the Susanoo; although it failed to cause any damage, it successfully forced the Susanoo to take a slight step back.

The Sunagakure ninjas' expressions relaxed slightly; at least the giant wasn't invincible.

Under the protection of his Susanoo, Iori began to clap, saying in surprise: "Complete control, is it? Truly worthy of being the secret technique of two generations of Kazekage; the Magnet Release secret arts are indeed marvelous."

He looked at Rasa with a hint of admiration: "Not controlling it as a whole, but down to every grain of gold sand? Truly impressive. This level of control is no worse than Tsunade's."

The power of the Magnet Release gold sand was surprisingly great; if he hadn't used Susanoo, he might have suffered minor injuries if caught off guard.

It seemed he truly shouldn't underestimate him just because of his poor track record in the anime.

Rasa's face was livid; not only had his attack returned empty-handed, but he had also been praised by his opponent from a condescending position.

This humiliation made his heart burn with rage, but he suppressed his anger and let out a cold snort.

Just a moment ago, he noticed that there seemed to be no protection beneath the Susanoo's feet; this might be a breakthrough point.

"Continue the attack!" Rasa quickly issued the order; he needed the Sunagakure jonin to distract Uchiha Iori and create an opening for him.

Various Wind Release ninjutsu poured toward Iori like a violent storm, and Iori, with his Mangekyō Sharingan active, took the opportunity to collect a large amount of ninjutsu data.

Although high-level ninjutsu could not be directly copied and used, the parts that could be replicated were of great benefit to Iori's analysis of chakra.

The bombardment of Wind Release ninjutsu continued for three minutes.

Iori discovered that all the Wind Release ninjutsu used by the Sunagakure ninjas had been copied.

Consequently, while activating the autonomous mode of the Gate of Babylon to force the Sunagakure ninjas on the edge of the battlefield inward, his black Susanoo began to move like a mobile fortress.

Six weapons struck in turns; in the face of the Susanoo's monstrous strength and the sharpness of the Noble Phantasms, the enemies had no possibility of defense and could only try their best to dodge the attacks.

The jonins' B-rank Wind Release ninjutsu felt like a gentle breeze against the Susanoo, and Iori couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

The black demon god crushed the Sunagakure ninjas' counterattack with unstoppable force.

Rasa watched calmly as the jonin were beaten into a rout, the anger in his heart continuing to churn.

He could only silently manipulate the gold sand, moving it stealthily beneath Iori's feet, quietly waiting for that one-hit kill opportunity.

After a quarter of the jonin had been killed by Iori, Rasa's preparations were finally complete.

"Magnet Release: Gold Sand Grand Funeral!" Rasa performed the seal and slammed his hands onto the ground.

He had already quietly replaced the sand beneath Iori's feet with gold sand beforehand.

The gold sand rose from the ground like a venomous snake, bypassing the Susanoo's defenses and tightly wrapping around Iori.

A smile appeared on Rasa's face: "Die, you arrogant Uchiha."

He used the gold sand to seal Iori's movements, intending to drag him deep into the gold sand and trigger a massive explosion to kill him.

"Did you think I would be caught unprepared? Did you underestimate my eyes?" Iori sneered as he turned his head.

Rasa was astonished to discover that his Gold Sand was completely unable to budge Iori.

Iori's chakra swirled around his entire body like a gale; in the face of such a powerful flow of chakra, the Gold Sand appeared powerless, forced to helplessly wrap around the perimeter of his aura.

This was the complete version of Mana Burst, with chakra enveloping his body to provide a massive physical enhancement while simultaneously offering formidable defense.

"In that case, I shall deal with you first."

He had originally intended to eliminate the other jonin first, fearing that if the leader were killed, the others would scatter and make pursuit inconvenient.

However, Rasa's strength exceeded his expectations; if he were to be too careless, he might end up suffering for it.

Iori exerted sudden force through his feet, erupting in a ring of wind that sent dust flying.

Supported by the chakra-version of Mana Burst, he broke free from the restraints of the Gold Sand with ease. Like a cannonball, he charged straight toward Rasa.

Rasa's eyes narrowed as he quickly gathered a massive amount of Gold Sand, unleashing Magnet Release: Gold Sand Raging Waves, which surged toward Iori like a towering tidal wave.

Watching the incoming Gold Sand, Iori simply said calmly, "Trace on." Raising his right hand, he drew a long red spear from the void.

He swept the spear horizontally, and every bit of Gold Sand touched by the weapon lost Rasa's control, falling from the air as the connection to Rasa's chakra was forcibly severed.

The Noble Phantasm held in Iori's hand was none other than Gae Dearg.

Seeing his ninjutsu destroyed so easily, Rasa was shocked, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he stared at the thrusting spear.

At this Thousand Jun moment, he utilized the fastest speed of his life to perform Magnet Release: Sand Cushion, the Gold Sand lifting his body into the air just in time to narrowly evade Iori's strike.
