Boom! Boom! Boom!
A stack of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Explosive Tags detonated in an instant. Fireballs erupted outward, shaking the earth. Even Asuma's Adamantine Sealing Chains were blasted into swaying.
Asuma's expression changed slightly.
The Explosive Tags Rasa had brought out were undoubtedly high-quality ones. A single detonated tag possessed power comparable to a Fire Style ninjutsu unleashed by a Jōnin.
With so many Explosive Tags going off, it was equivalent to hundreds or thousands of Jōnin simultaneously casting Fire Style attacks at one point.
Though that point was not on the Barrier, it was very close to it.
Crack!

The Adamantine Sealing Chains danced through the air, blasting apart wave after wave of Gold Dust.
Then, one Adamantine Sealing Chain pierced through Rasa's defenses. With a bang, the Rasa inside turned into a mass of Gold Dust and fell away.
