An abrupt upheaval struck inside the Grand Conference Room.
[Magnet Release: Gold Dust]!
Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage seated at one corner of the semicircular table, unleashed a powerful surge of chakra without warning.
Sunagakure's secret [Magnet Release] kekkei genkai conjured streams of golden gold dust beneath Rasa's feet, sending waves of it indiscriminately attacking everyone else in the Grand Conference Room.
"Kazekage!"
"How could this happen!"
"So it was you!"
"Protect the Fifth Hokage!"
The Grand Conference Room instantly erupted into chaos.
No one had expected Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage attending the Five Kage Summit, to suddenly attack everyone else present at a time like this.
The guards on the viewing platform along the edge of the conference room abandoned protocol and leaped down into the room.
Shisui Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake reached Uchiha Minamoto and guarded his sides.
The other villages' guards also reached their respective Kage.
Thanks to Uchiha Minamoto's earlier actions.
Mei Terumi and Samui had both been on guard beforehand and successfully evaded the first wave of Rasa's [Magnet Release: Gold Dust].
But Ōnoki, who had received no warning, was not so lucky.
Worse still, his seat happened to be right beside Rasa, making him the first target of [Magnet Release: Gold Dust]!
Caught off guard, Ōnoki had his left hand ensnared by the coarse gold dust.
The gold dust constricted fiercely like a venomous snake, and a streak of crimson blood immediately appeared amid the gold.
Ōnoki felt a tearing agony shoot through his left arm, and cold sweat immediately broke out across his forehead.
Even worse.
As a ninja who relied purely on ninjutsu, all of Ōnoki's abilities depended on hand seals.
With his left arm bound by gold dust, Ōnoki could not even form hand seals, much less use ninjutsu to defend himself!
