A wave of dampness washed over me.

A massive water dragon surged forth.

In mid-air, Rasa's eyes narrowed, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and he clapped his hands together.

" Sand Shield Technique!" M.

A solid, Gold Dust- flecked shield formed directly in mid-air.

"Bang!"

"Splash!"

The water dragon that pounded heavily on the Gold Dust shield caused rain to burst forth, and the Gold Dust shield shattered.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

And at the same time.

Suddenly, a giant ice pillar, twenty or thirty meters high, appeared on the rear side.

"Whoosh!"

"Da da da da da!"

A figure flashed out.

They continued running wildly upwards.

It was during the brief lull in the attack that Qi managed to close the distance.

"Whoosh!"

At the very top.

A figure leaping into the air.

This is just the height that can be reached.

The immense cold energy gathered on Qi's right palm condensed and manifested as a frost blade.

Aiming precisely at Rasa's throat, he swiftly slashed down.

This was a sudden and powerful attack.

"!?"

Rasa was startled.

A chilling aura was instantly sensed.

Driven by instinct, the figure instinctively dodged to the side.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!"

An attack that was narrowly avoided.

The cold blades slammed heavily into the sand mat.

With a single stroke, the sand mat was cut in two, shattering instantly.

Rasa's body swayed uncontrollably, and he fell diagonally downwards.

This clearly exposes a gap.

Previously slowed down due to injury, Kaguya Mashin, who had just caught up, had a fierce expression on her face. She brandished her bone spikes and viciously thrust them into Rasa's vital points!

Stagnation situation.

We were just forced into this situation.

Even ordinary Jonin would find it difficult to turn the tide in such a situation, let alone Kaguya Mashin's attack, which was undeniably fierce!

He simply endured the dent in his abdomen from the injury.

He recklessly unleashed his strongest Chakra at the moment.

The goal is to take Rasa's life right here.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a successful strike, but here, facing Rasa, it's a different story.

" Magnet Release: Sand Explosion Technique!"

Rasa clenched his right hand.

"Whoosh!"

The massive amount of sand and dust that directly converged there.

"Buzz!"

It gathered directly on Kaguya Mashin's arms, holding them tightly, as if about to explode.

"Asshole!"

That initial surge of energy.

Kaguya Mashin's face was contorted with rage.

Forced to abandon the offensive.

"Whoosh!"

A body flailing about with all its might.

" Dance of the Larch!"

Countless bone spurs sprouted all over his body.

As it spun and danced at high speed, the sand and dust that had not yet been completely bound were powerfully blasted away!

A failed attack.

However, Rasa didn't care at all.

His original intention was simply to buy himself some time to adjust, but now he has successfully delayed Kaguya Mashin's actions.

" Magnet Release: Sand Cushion Technique!"

As Rasa flipped back, he once again condensed a sand mat and stepped forward.

"Whoosh!"

The sand mat instantly rose into the air.

"Bang!"

He narrowly avoided the powerful attack from the Suikazan Fuguki that came from behind.

Compare it to the dust that was stirred up.

Rasa's figure flew back into the sky.

Qi, who landed simultaneously, also changed his expression. Although the three of them had never fought together before, they still had basic coordination in their attacks. This was the most efficient attack they could muster, yet they still couldn't harm this Kazekage candidate.

'Being able to fly is just too overpowered!?'

Qi bit her lip, a hint of resentment bubbling in her heart.

Let alone ordinary ninjas, even Jonin, who are already at the top of the Shinobi World's pyramid, are truly powerless against opponents who can fly. They can easily and accurately target and bombard them!

They would have to go through a lot of hardship to attack their opponent.

That doesn't guarantee success.

The relative strengths and weaknesses of each other are far too obvious.

Suikazan Fuguki and Kaguya Mashin's expressions were no better. The previous battle had been just like that; almost all of their attacks had difficulty hitting Rasa, especially Kaguya Mashin, whose strongest skill as a member of the Kaguya Clan was close-quarters combat!

Rasa didn't give them that opportunity at all.

What can he use to fight hand-to-hand?

He was simply a punching bag, passively taking hits.

The three of them were not in a very stable mood at the moment. Rasa, who was high in the sky, appeared calm on the surface, but no one knew the turmoil in his heart. Gaining the upper hand was one thing, but defeating or even killing the opponent was another.

After Qi joined the battle, Rasa could clearly feel that it would be much more difficult to kill the three men below. Not to mention that if time dragged on, all of his subordinates would probably be wiped out, even if they could hold out.

His own Chakra couldn't sustain such a reckless battle.

His chances of winning are still over 70-80%, but what's next? As a candidate for Kazekage, he can't be a reckless fool; he must fully consider all possibilities!

'retreat!'

The decision was made directly in my heart in that instant.

" Magnet Release: Gold Dust Great Explosion Technique!"

This Kazekage candidate also unleashed as much of his Chakra as possible.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The massive amount of Gold Dust that converged at that angle as it tilted downwards.

"It's coming!"

In the lower part of the space.

When Kei, Suikazan Fuguki, and Kaguya Mashin saw this scene, their hearts tightened instantly!

Looking at the ground that was constantly collapsing and shaking.

The three of them instinctively assumed that Rasa was about to launch an even more ferocious attack and defeat them in the shortest amount of time!

None of them needed to communicate verbally.

The three of them then leaped forward, quickly flying backward to create as much safe distance as possible.

Just as the three of them retreated and spread out the coverage of the Rasa technique.

Completely unexpectedly, Rasa retreated in the opposite direction.

" Magnet Release: Gold Dust Technique!"

Then, while signaling the Sand Ninja to retreat, he also condensed dozens of small Gold Dust and rushed towards the many Mist Ninja within his field of vision.

They forced back these enemies, thus covering the retreat of their own Sand Ninja.

By the time Kei, Suikazan Fuguki, and Kaguya Mashin reacted...

Rasa had already led the remaining Sand Ninja away like a tidal wave. Upon seeing this, the three of them all showed varying degrees of astonishment.

The contrast between the beginning and the end is just too stark!
