The murky, corrosive slime rained down on the sandman!
Sizzle--
The murky, viscous liquid slowly sank into the yellow sand, generating yellow gas. The once vivid and lifelike sand figures began to melt away, and large chunks of sand corroded by the liquid fell off with a clatter. Even Karura could no longer control them.
Standing atop the Katsuyu, Tsunade Senju clenched her fist upon seeing this and said, "This defense is incredibly stubborn. Katsuyu, continue using the Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid Technique to weaken her defense, then I'll smash it with one punch."
The Sage Katsuyu's Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid Technique is extremely corrosive. Under Tsunade Senju's relentless attacks, Karura no longer had the ability to protect the Sunagakure. He could only gather all the sand scattered around to strengthen his defense and wholeheartedly resist the Sage Katsuyu's attacks.
"The person who attacked Karura is Tsunade Senju Sannin Konoha. She is definitely Kage Level expert. Lady Karura is in danger. We must go and save her, or she will surely be killed by Tsunade Senju."
"Yes, that's Princess Tsunade, who was already famous during World War II. Karura is definitely no match for Princess Tsunade. We must organize a team to hold Tsunade Senju back so that Karura can safely retreat..."
Seeing Tsunade Senju her Katsuyu to relentlessly attack Karura, who could only passively defend himself and whose attempts to break through were repeatedly thwarted by the corrosive, murky white liquid, the nearby Sunagakure swiftly and spontaneously formed a group and Tsunade Senju towards Karura.
However, when Tsunade Senju arrived, she was followed by a large number of Konoha Ninja. Their strength, prestige, and sheer numbers far exceeded those of the scattered Sunagakure. After all, Princess Tsunade was one of the Sannin of Konoha, and her status was clearly higher than that of Karura.
Although the Sunagakure wanted to rescue Karura, they were powerless to do so. Despite the fierce battle, the Sunagakure ninjas were clearly being pushed back by the Konoha Ninja.
The original humanoid Sand Shield has lost its humanoid form!
Seeing this, Tsunade Senju leaped down from the Katsuyu's head, roared in mid-air, and her white, delicate fist slammed into Karura's sand shield, which he was barely holding up.
[ Strength of a Hundred Fist ]
The sand shield's yellow sand scattered instantly!
Under the immense, Strength of a Hundred fist, the condensed sand was easily scattered, like raindrops in the direction of the fist's force. The entire humanoid form completely collapsed, revealing Karura standing on the sand hand.
At this moment, Karura was filled with panic and surprise. She never expected that someone could break through her strongest defense. Through her experiments, this defense could basically block the vast majority of Taijutsu attacks and even block most Ninjutsu except for Water Release Ninjutsu.
However, at this moment, this perfect, absolute defense was completely shattered by a seemingly delicate fist.
This outcome forced Karura to doubt his own abilities!
The sound of Tsunade's fist shattering Karyu's Sand Shield attracted the attention of Rasa, who was fighting Orochimaru. Seeing Karyu completely exposed to Tsunade's fist, Rasa's heart tightened, and he quickly abandoned Orochimaru to rescue Karyu.
However, his opponent is Orochimaru, a venomous snake who understands the weaknesses of human nature.
Orochimaru instantly discerned Rasa's intentions, his attack becoming even more ferocious. He slammed his hands into the ground, forming hand Hand Seals, and stared coldly at Rasa in mid-air with his icy snake eyes, saying in a magnetic and chilling voice, " Summoning Technique."
As white smoke billowed out, a colossal serpent with green scales, nearly forty meters long and as thick as a vat, suddenly appeared on the battlefield. It opened its mouth, flicking its tongue, and its cold green eyes surveyed its surroundings before settling on Orochimaru. Its mouth opened and closed, and it spoke:
"You bastard, what do you want by summoning me? You disturbed my sleep this time, so you'd better compensate me with at least one sacrifice, or I'll eat you...!"
" Manda, Konoha and Sunagakure are currently at war, and many people will die on the battlefield. If you want to eat people, I think these few thousand Sunagakure ninjas are enough for you to eat for several meals. How about it... are you interested?"
Orochimaru sneered and tempted him with a sinister tone.
Sensing the surrounding war environment, the massive Manda head nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Then I'll forgive your actions this time. Just give me forty sacrifices, the living kind... I don't want to eat those stiff corpses!"
Seeing that Rasa was trying to escape, Orochimaru Hand Seals hand seals and used a Wind Release Ninjutsu to block his path. He then leaped onto Manda's head and nodded, saying, "It's a deal then. First, help me deal with this guy, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. Such a powerful figure must be quite delicious. I think you'll be interested."
" Kage Level powerhouse... Helping me kill him would make him a delicious treat, one I've never tasted before."
The massive body of the Manda instantly sprang into action, its tail slamming down with tremendous force towards Rasa, who was trying to leave the battlefield once again. The enormous tail whip shattered the air, creating a series of deafening explosions.
Rasa's pupils suddenly contracted beneath his dark circles and panda eyes.
Squatting on the Gold Dust floating island, he made a sweeping motion with both hands!
Before Rasa could react and hastily take control, countless Gold Dust rapidly gathered in front of him, forming a shield. The Gold Dust island beneath his feet also enveloped his body once more, forming a golden sphere, thus completing a double layer of defense.
Pythons often possess the power to constrict large prey, but Manda is not a python at all. It is a colossal, monster-level summoned beast that even possesses Chakra within its body. In terms of strength, it absolutely has the power to crush most humans!
The enormous snake tail smashed through the first layer of golden shield defense, scattering countless Gold Sand particles as the tail pierced through the first layer and struck the golden sphere.
The golden ball was sent flying a hundred meters away like a rubber ball, before crashing heavily to the ground.
A long trench was dragged across the ground, and Gold Sand scattered everywhere. Rasa crawled out of it in a disheveled state, gritted his teeth, put his right hand in his ninja pouch, took out a scroll, opened it, and placed his right hand in the center of the black rune.
Countless drops of Gold Sand continuously flowed from the scroll; it was all pure gold.
Orochimaru's expression turned slightly serious upon seeing this. The amount of Gold Sand often indicates the destructive power of Rasa's Ninjutsu. With such a massive amount of Gold Sand being released by Rasa, he was definitely going to fight to the death. Facing such a Bloodstained Kage Level powerhouse, he could easily capsize in an unexpected way.
[ Magnet Release: Gold Sand Wave ]
The Gold Dust gushing from the scroll layer upon layer, like waves crashing together, surged toward Manda. When Orochimaru saw the massive Gold Sand wave that had already piled up to a height of twenty meters, his snake eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately jumped off Manda.
Countless waves crashed against Manda's body, the mass and pressure of the Gold Sand crushing Manda's flesh and blood, making it difficult for it to break free from these layers of Gold Sand waves!
Seeing Manda engulfed in Gold Sand, Rasa clasped his hands together, his face contorted with rage, and shouted, " Magnet Release: Gold Sand Burial Seal!"
"Damn it, you despicable bastard! Fourth Kazekage, I'll remember you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! How dare you seal away your Manda- Sama? I'll eat you! I'll eat you!"
The Gold Sand waves formed a pyramid, which sealed the entire body of the constantly roaring Manda inside. It began to solidify rapidly, and the Gold Sand and the Manda within became one, completely sealing it inside, making it impossible for the Manda to move or break free.
whoosh whoosh--
After doing all this, Rasa began to pant.
Controlling so much Gold Sand in one go and releasing two large-scale Magnet Release Chakra Ninjutsu had rapidly depleted his chakra and stamina. However, without the slightest hesitation or rest, he swiftly rushed towards Karura's location.
The sand was constantly being blown around, and there wasn't much sand left that could be controlled.
Karura is now in a precarious and extremely dangerous situation.
Just as Karura's eyes were filled with despair as the spirited Tsunade Senju charged forward, about to shatter the last bit of Sand Island forming the thin sand shield beneath his feet with a single punch, a golden fist suddenly met him...
The large, golden fist gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.
After colliding with Tsunade Senju's fair, delicate fist, it scattered in all directions, forming streaks of golden sand that drifted into the air, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight. It was made of Gold Sand.
While fending off Tsunade Senju, Rasa had already rescued Karura by holding her waist with his right hand and placed her on a large tree. His eyes, hidden beneath dark circles, were coldly fixed on Tsunade Senju, his icy gaze seeming to want to kill her.
This was a killing intent so concentrated it seemed almost tangible, yet it was powerless against the battle-hardened Tsunade Senju...
At this moment, Orochimaru also arrived, chasing after Rasa. He stood on a large tree next to Tsunade and Katsuyu, looking at Rasa and Karura with great interest, and said calmly, "So this is the ability you've gained from researching Shukaku's power? As expected... it possesses extraordinary power."
Orochimaru showed great interest in Rasa, who used Magnet Release Ninjutsu to completely seal Manda. This interest had started during the time of the Third Kazekage. To be precise, Orochimaru was very interested in their technology of extracting power from the bodies of Tailed Beast.
" Orochimaru, why did you let him through? What a troublesome guy. I was about to defeat this Sunagakure and control the entire battlefield, but because of you, I failed at the last minute. Clearly, Orochimaru, your mission was not completed perfectly."
Having failed to achieve the desired effect with her punch, Tsunade Senju, now back on the Katsuyu, looked at the guy standing on the tree beneath her and said somewhat irritably.
"I don't think so. When the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, used Magnet Release to seal Manda, he probably already used up most of his Chakra, right, Rasa?" Orochimaru shook his head, asked Rasa a question, and then continued, "Besides, this woman doesn't seem to know any offensive Ninjutsu. If they don't have a backup plan, they're doomed to lose..."
Rasa clenched his fists tightly around Karura's waist, his eyes filled with resentment. If it weren't for the massive amount of Chakra had expended to seal Manda in order to save Karyu... No, he shouldn't complain; ultimately, it was his own power that was insufficient.
Karura glanced at Rasa from the side, seemingly understanding his thoughts, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. (To be continued.)
