"Boom...!!!"
The tide of Gold Dust crashed down savagely, swallowing Pain-Mu's figure!
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, landed atop a sand fortress, his cold eyes fixed on the silhouette protruding from the Gold Dust.
"Whoever you are, daring to trespass into the heart of Sunagakure leaves you with only one fate: death!"
He raised his palm and clenched it coldly.
—Magnet Release: Gold Dust Funeral!
"Crack!!!" The Gold Dust that should have constricted instead burst apart.
"What!?" Rasa revealed a startled expression. "The chakra I mixed into the Gold Dust is gone?"
As Rasa stood frozen in shock, an invisible figure embraced him from behind!!
—Preta Path!!
"Whoosh!!" The terrifying chakra absorption force made Rasa's face change drastically!
"Th-This is...!!!"
Within just a few breaths, Rasa's chakra had been completely drained.
Pain-Mu looked at the Gold Dust crumbling at his feet and muttered, "A Gold Dust clone? This guy is rather cautious..."
He drew out a kunai.
"Then, before Rasa's real body and the Hidden Sand Village forces arrive to surround me, I'll infiltrate the village. With this trashy Flying Thunder God Technique that has a thirty-second delay..."
On the terrace.
Rasa said grimly, "My Gold Dust clone was taken out."
Baki was stunned. "What!? Just who is this enemy!?"
"I don't know," Rasa said. "But one thing is certain for now: the enemy has the ability to perfectly conceal both his body and chakra, and he can absorb chakra as well."
"The enemy is in Zone B. I'll use a barrier to seal off Zone B first. Baki! Notify the village's Jonin and ANBU immediately. Have them stand by outside the barrier and prepare to surround the enemy with me!!!"
"Yes! Lord Kazekage!!" Baki answered respectfully before flickering away!
Rasa raised two fingers to the area around his eyes.
