"Magnet Release! Gold Sand Shuriken."
Countless grains of Gold Dust rose into the air, instantly transforming into countless real shuriken that surged straight toward Lin Cheng.
The corners of Lin Cheng's mouth lifted slightly. Without the slightest regard for conserving chakra, he used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the swarm of shuriken.
"What an arrogant young man!
"Even the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, wasn't as arrogant as you!"
A gloomy look flashed in Rasa's eyes as he continued weaving Hand Seals.
"Magnet Release! Gold Sand Waterfall Flow!"
A technique similar to Gaara's Quicksand Waterfall Flow appeared before everyone's eyes in an instant.
With a sea of sand beneath their feet, the technique's power was clearly amplified to an incredible degree!
As the surging sea of sand furiously battered Lin Cheng, it also transformed into tons of Gold Dust at an astonishing speed!
At first, Lin Cheng didn't understand why Rasa was doing this.
But soon, Lin Cheng realized Rasa's true intention.
"Are you using Magnet Release's magnetic force to restrict my movements?"
Feeling the magnetic force of Magnet Release hinder and slow his movements as he dodged, Lin Cheng's eyes flashed with understanding!
"Hmph! You noticed?"
The corners of Rasa's mouth lifted again, and the killing intent in his eyes flickered briefly.
"Too bad it's too late, young man!"
Rasa increased the chakra conversion within his body once more, channeling it through his hands and into the sea of sand at tremendous speed.
In an instant, the churning sea of sand around them was transformed entirely into Gold Dust!
The faint, barely perceptible magnetic force suddenly surged in strength!
Drawn in by the magnetic force of Magnet Release, Lin Cheng was completely immobilized!
Under the force, the mask Lin Cheng had been wearing suddenly shattered, revealing his youthful face.
The next moment, amid Kakashi and the others' cries of alarm, an endless mass of Gold Dust came crashing down over him!
Just as Lin Cheng was about to be swallowed by the Gold Dust raining down on him, he smiled.
"There's something so satisfying about this kind of overwhelming force!"
The chakra he had always kept suppressed within his body surged up, becoming visible and taking on a tangible form.
The Gold Dust that had been about to fall was blasted away!
At the sight, Kakashi and the others, who had been worried, were left utterly stunned!
The other Sand shinobi watching nearby were just as shocked!
"Guess it's my turn now, Fourth Kazekage!"
A strangely manic laugh came from Lin Cheng's mouth.
Lin Cheng formed Hand Seals, preparing to strike back.
Rasa, made uneasy by Lin Cheng's laughter, immediately changed his Hand Seals, trying to stop him.
Thin strands of sand tried to restrain Lin Cheng, but he forcibly shook them apart.
"What is this power?"
Feeling the powerful force that had forcibly dispelled his ninjutsu, Rasa's eyes flashed with surprise!
And in the brief moment Rasa stood stunned,
the chakra surrounding Lin Cheng, already visible to the naked eye, changed once more.
"Ninja Art! Silent Night Deity!"
In an instant, the tangible chakra that had been surging and shifting solidified into a crystal-armored warrior the color of the night sky!
Silent Night Deity! A variation of Susanoo!
Unlike Susanoo, which had first appeared as nothing more than a skeletal rib cage, Silent Night Deity was already in its complete form!
The only difference was that, despite being at the same initial stage, the complete Silent Night Deity stood only three meters tall!
The sight of the night-sky-colored crystal-armored warrior left everyone seeing it for the first time dazed and speechless!
Rasa was suddenly startled!
He realized that the Konoha Ninja whose feet had been buried deep in the sand was already trying to break free.
He could escape at any moment. Rasa was horrified!
He had a premonition that if he let his opponent break free, he would regret it.
Overcome by this inexplicable sense of dread, Rasa immediately gritted his teeth and continued driving the ninjutsu Gold Sand Waterfall Flow, regardless of the consequences!
The even more violently churning Gold Dust came crashing down, burying Lin Cheng, who had activated Silent Night Deity, beneath it.
