"Your opponents are us! Don't even think about going over to help!"

Kawaki Aoba watched the cloud of sand rushing toward him, took a deep breath, and formed hand seals. "Water Release: Water Wall!"

A wall of water instantly appeared before him, blocking the sandstorm's attack.

The sand collided with the water wall and was immediately scattered by the current.

When Sasori saw his ninjutsu being neutralized, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes before they returned to their usual coldness. "You've got some skill, but that alone isn't enough to keep you alive in front of me."

He formed another set of seals. "Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!"

A massive amount of black iron sand suddenly appeared in the sky, pouring down on Kawaki Aoba like a torrential rain.

Kawaki Aoba knew how dangerous the iron sand was. If it struck him, the consequences would be unthinkable.

He did not dare let his guard down. Chakra erupted beneath his feet as he moved at high speed, continuously dodging the iron sand's attacks.

The iron sand struck the ground with loud bangs, blasting small pits into the earth.

I can't keep dodging like this. I need to take the initiative!

Kawaki Aoba's gaze swept rapidly over his surroundings as he searched for an opening in Sasori's defenses.

Suddenly, he noticed that whenever Sasori controlled the iron sand, his body paused for a split second.

Now! Kawaki Aoba seized the opportunity and rushed toward Sasori like a gale. The chakra blade in his hand condensed even more chakra. "Konoha-Style Taijutsu: Azure Wind Slash!"

A massive azure chakra blade slashed toward Sasori.

Sasori had not expected Kawaki Aoba to launch a sudden attack. His expression changed, and he hurriedly controlled the iron sand to form a defensive wall before him.

Bang!
