Magnet Release vs. Silent Night Deity

"Magnet Release! Gold Sand Shuriken."

Countless grains of gold sand rose up, instantly transforming into a multitude of genuine shuriken that surged directly toward the oncoming Lin Cheng.

With a slight upturn of his lips, Lin Cheng used the Body Flicker Technique without a hint of restraint, weaving through the barrage of shuriken.

"What an arrogant young man!

Even the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, back in his day, was never as arrogant as you!"

A flash of gloom crossed his eyes as Rasa's hands continued to weave seals without pause.

"Magnet Release! Gold Sand Waterfall Flow!"

A technique similar to Gaara's Quicksand Waterfall Flow appeared instantly before everyone's eyes.

Relying on the sea of sand, the power of this move was clearly amplified to an infinite degree!

The surging sea of sand not only battered Lin Cheng frantically but also transformed into tons of gold sand at an astonishing speed!

At first, Lin Cheng was puzzled by Rasa's actions.

But soon, Lin Cheng understood Rasa's true intention.

"Are you trying to restrict my mobility by relying on the magnetism of your Magnet Release?"

Feeling his movements hindered and sluggish as he tried to dodge, a flash of realization crossed Lin Cheng's eyes!

"Hmph! Have you noticed?"

The corners of his mouth curled up again, and the killing intent in Rasa's eyes flickered and vanished.

"Too bad it's too late, young man!"

The chakra within his body surged with increased intensity, pouring rapidly through Rasa's hands into the sea of sand.

In an instant, the churning sea of sand surrounding them was completely converted into gold sand!

The magnetic force, which had been faint and barely perceptible, suddenly flared with immense power!

Under the pull of the Magnet Release's magnetic force, Lin Cheng's body was completely immobilized on the spot!

Under the force of the pressure, the mask Lin Cheng wore suddenly shattered, revealing his youthful face.

The next moment, amidst the gasps of Kakashi and the others, the endless gold sand crashed down from above!

Seeing that Lin Cheng was about to be submerged by the descending gold sand, Lin Cheng smiled.

"This method of crushing everything in its path is truly delightful!"

The chakra that he had been suppressing within his body rose up, manifesting into a tangible form.

The gold sand that was about to descend was blown away instantly!

Seeing this scene, Kakashi and the others, who had been somewhat worried, were left dumbfounded!

The other Sand Ninja watching the battle were no different!

"It's my turn now, isn't it?! Lord Fourth Kazekage!"

A strange, neurotic laugh escaped Lin Cheng's lips.

Lin Cheng wove hand seals, preparing to retaliate.

Rasa, unsettled by the chilling sound of Lin Cheng's laughter, immediately changed his hand seals, attempting to stop Lin Cheng from finishing his own.

Slender threads of sand tried to obstruct Lin Cheng, but they were forcibly shattered by him.

"What is this power?"

Feeling the immense strength that had forcibly dispersed his ninjutsu, a look of astonishment flashed in Rasa's eyes!

And in that brief moment of Rasa's stupor.

The chakra on Lin Cheng's body, which had already reached a visible level, underwent another transformation.

"Ninja Art! Silent Night Deity!!"

In an instant, the rising, tangible chakra condensed and took shape, transforming into an ice-crystal armored warrior the color of the night sky!

Silent Night Deity! A variant of Susanoo!

Compared to the Susanoo that appeared as mere skeletal ribcages in its initial stage, the Silent Night Deity was a complete form right from the start!

The only difference was that, as an initial-stage manifestation, the complete Silent Night Deity stood only three meters tall!

The ice-crystal armored warrior, resembling the night sky, left everyone who saw it for the first time completely stunned!

Suddenly startled!

Feeling that the Konoha ninja, whose feet had been deeply trapped, was already attempting to break free.

And that he could break loose at any moment, Rasa was greatly alarmed!

He had a premonition that if he allowed the opponent to break free, he would surely regret it!

Driven by this inexplicable psychological pressure, Rasa gritted his teeth and continued to push the ninjutsu 'Gold Sand Waterfall Flow' without regard for the consequences.

The churning gold sand surged even more violently, crashing down from above and burying Lin Cheng, who had manifested the Silent Night Deity, deep within the gold sand.
