Toroi adjusted his glasses, his tone calm. "The Hokage's Ninjutsu... really is quite spectacular."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze sharpened, but his speed did not slow as Chakra surged once more.
He knew Magnet Release possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities. His opponent had used Sand-Iron Wall to withstand three A-rank Ninjutsu, so his Chakra consumption had to be considerable.
But his Chakra was not limitless either. He could not keep suppressing his opponent with long-range bombardment forever.
He launched another four waves of Ninjutsu, water dragons and fire dragons alternating with Earth Release spikes erupting from the ground, creating a barrage of relentless attacks that lasted nearly five minutes.
Toroi remained on the defensive throughout. The Sand-Iron Wall constantly repaired and thickened itself, shattering under bombardment only to reform, like a rock endlessly battered by waves.
The spectators in the stands were fired up, and the daimyo of the Land of Fire nodded repeatedly before turning to the daimyo of the Land of Lightning and saying:
"Your village's ninja... seem to only know how to hide, don't they?"
The daimyo of the Land of Lightning took a deep breath before finally replying, "Being able to dodge is a skill too."
The daimyo of the Land of Fire laughed loudly and said nothing more.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi knew his Chakra was being depleted faster and faster.
He stopped forming hand seals, gritted his teeth, and rapidly formed another sequence of seals with both hands. "Summoning Jutsu! Monkey King: Enma!"
With a bang, white smoke exploded, and a massive ape appeared beside him. He wore golden armor and held an equally enormous iron staff.
"Hiruzen, you haven't summoned me in a long time." Enma's voice carried a hint of teasing. "Who are we fighting this time?"
"That Magnet Release ninja over there." Hiruzen Sarutobi
