Allied Forces position, Land of Whirlpools coastline.
"So this was your plan all along!"
The Uzumaki Clan Head's furious roar erupted like a volcano. His crimson hair whipped wildly despite the lack of wind, and the last embers of false courtesy in his eyes were utterly extinguished, leaving only blazing fighting spirit and contempt.
"Our Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu is an inheritance passed down since ancient times, the foundation that maintains the balance of the Ninja World!
How could thieves like you, who know only plunder and slaughter, be worthy of laying your hands on it?
Do you really think Hidden Eddy Village is made of clay?!"
The negotiations had completely collapsed, and the last illusion of peace was torn to shreds.
"Good! Very good!"
Rather than becoming angry, the Raikage laughed. His smile was as savage as a demon's, while the lightning around him suddenly flared, crackling explosively.
"Since you old bastard refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame us for being impolite!
Kazekage!"
"I've been waiting."
The Third Kazekage's cold voice sounded almost at the same time.
His hands did not move, but the dark cloud of Iron Sand floating behind him suddenly erupted into motion!
Countless grains of black Iron Sand did not strike at the Uzumaki, but swept outward across the beach and reefs like a living black torrent, covering everything at astonishing speed!
Wherever the Iron Sand passed, rocks were crushed and debris was cleared away, forcibly creating a flat, open "Iron Sand plaza" hundreds of meters wide across the beach and shallows!
This was not for attacking, but for clearing the field—creating a battlefield for the coming Kage Level battle that would not be hindered by terrain, while preventing the Uzumaki ninja from using the complex surroundings to deploy sealing formations!
