Magnet Release: Gold Dust Spear!

Rasa wasted no words and directly raised his hand.

The ground trembled, and gold dust immediately surged out from deep below, spinning as it formed a long spear.

A golden drill formed at the spearhead, and it roared out like a giant dragon.

Suna's Magnet Release was divided into two types.

One was Magnet Release: Iron Sand, which allowed the user to freely control objects containing iron, as well as the iron within sand and soil.

The Third Kazekage's Magnet Release was Magnet Release: Iron Sand.

The other was Magnet Release: Gold Dust, which changed from controlling iron to controlling gold.

Rasa's Magnet Release was Magnet Release: Gold Dust.

If the one who had come were the Third Kazekage, Natsuki definitely would not be able to win.

Because in theory, many of the blades and swords he projected also contained iron.

One Sword Style, Thirty-Six Pound Phoenix!

Natsuki stood where he was and swung his blade.

The rapidly moving blade light struck the spear like a cannonball.

The blade light exploded.

The golden drill on the spear was immediately blown apart, and a large amount of gold dust scattered across the ground.

But Rasa only moved his fingers, and the gold dust on the ground flew up again, condensing back into a golden drill.

A piercing sound tore through the air. Instead of retreating, the spear advanced, and its speed increased even more.

Nawaki instinctively wanted to step forward and help, but Kosuke stopped him.

He understood very clearly what this battle meant to Natsuki.

Rasa was very famous in Suna, and he had learned Magnet Release from the Third Kazekage.

If Natsuki could defeat him, his fame would naturally soar.

Although some shinobi did not care about fame, fame was still very useful.

For example, when competing for the position of Hokage.

Of course, there was another reason.

Kosuke understood Natsuki's strength.

This level of attack was nothing to him.

If Natsuki were truly in danger, even before they acted, Tsunade and the others would step in to save him.

After all, a life only came once. As long as he stayed alive, fame would naturally follow.

Armament Haki!

One Sword Style, Iai, Lion Song!

Natsuki gripped Kurosawa.

Armament Haki wrapped around Kurosawa's blade.

His entire body suddenly disappeared from where he stood. Kurosawa tore through the air and cut toward the spear in the most direct way.

The spear was sliced open and split into two.

Rasa's gaze sharpened slightly.

He felt a sharp edge rushing toward him, as if it would cut him in half in the next second.

It had to be said that Natsuki's swordsmanship was indeed very strong.

Aside from Hatake Sakumo, Rasa had never seen anyone with stronger swordsmanship than him.

At most, Hanzō could be added to that list. His swordsmanship was also extremely troublesome.

As Rasa thought this, he waved his hand casually.

A huge cube blocked in front of him.

Natsuki appeared, and Kurosawa sank deeply into the cube.

But the cube condensed from gold dust was far too sturdy, making it very difficult for him to pierce through.

At that moment, Rasa pressed his palm against the cube.

Under the force, the cube slammed toward Natsuki.

Kurosawa bent for an instant.

He immediately let go and used Soru.

The cube missed, brushing past the corner of Natsuki's clothes as it flew into the distance.

But it did not fly for long before it scattered across the ground and sank underground.

Rasa formed hand signs with both hands.

Dense gold dust surged out from underground again, rushing in every direction like waves.

As soon as Natsuki landed, the gold dust grabbed toward him like tentacles.

He projected a new Kurosawa and charged forward.

Water Breathing, Third Form, Flowing Dance!

A large amount of water flowed around him. As he dodged in the narrow space, he rapidly swung his blade.

In the blink of an eye, several tentacle-like strands of gold dust were shattered by him.

Seeing this, Rasa's gaze sharpened, and he directly raised both hands.

More gold dust appeared, combining together to form a massive wave.

The enormous wave blotted out the sky and pressed down on Natsuki.

White Blow!

Natsuki flew into the sky at once.

Seeing this, Rasa immediately controlled the gold dust to change shape, forming a giant hand that grabbed toward him.

Water Breathing, Sixth Form, Whirlpool!

Natsuki spun his body.

Water appeared out of thin air, swirling around him.

As he swung his blade, the water formed a whirlpool and smashed into the giant hand.

The giant hand trembled fiercely, then broke apart.

Using the recoil, Natsuki flew even higher.

Rasa snorted coldly and formed hand signs with both hands.

Gold dust formed a cloud-like sand cushion in front of him.

He jumped onto it and also flew into the air.

The two of them rising into the sky attracted the attention of many people.

After all, in the shinobi world, shinobi who could fly were extremely rare.

Tsunade instinctively glanced over and discovered that it was Natsuki and Rasa.

Thinking of Rasa's strength, she could not help but feel worried.

On the other side, Pakura frowned slightly.

She felt that there was no need for Rasa to get entangled with Natsuki. It would be better to retreat directly.

She knew very well what Rasa was thinking.

First, he believed he was stronger and could kill Natsuki.

Second, Suna's defeat was already set, and he was undoubtedly the main culprit. If he could kill Natsuki, he could make up for his failure.

Rasa stared at Natsuki and raised both hands.

Magnet Release: Gold Dust World Method!

Under his control, gold dust flew toward Natsuki.

As it approached, the gold dust suddenly spread and produced sharp spikes like bamboo shoots.

Water Breathing, Seventh Form, Drop Ripple Thrust!

Natsuki leaped forward. While avoiding the golden spikes, he dropped down at extremely high speed.

With Kurosawa in front, his entire body seemed to become a blade, stabbing toward Rasa during his high-speed movement.

Rasa frowned slightly.

He controlled the sand cushion to descend, then formed hand signs with both hands.

The ground trembled, and like a volcanic eruption, it spewed out a large amount of gold dust.

The gold dust surged out, rushing to bombard Natsuki.

Natsuki slashed out, only forcing back part of the gold dust for the moment.

More gold dust came from every direction, intending to swallow him up.

Doll, Heavy Child Formation!

Natsuki summoned five dolls.

After the dolls took formation, a powerful laser appeared.

A path was immediately blasted through the gold dust.

Geppo!

Natsuki disappeared in midair.

All the gold dust collided together, but it hit nothing.

Rasa could not help but let out a breath.

At the same time, he felt surprised.

What ninjutsu had Natsuki used just now? He could actually walk in the air? And his speed was not slow either.

But he had no time to think further.

Natsuki's attack had already arrived in front of him.

Water Breathing, Eighth Form, Waterfall Basin!

The blade swung down from above, and water fell from the sky like a waterfall.

Rasa's field of vision was filled with a large amount of water.

Magnet Release: Gold Dust Cube!

The golden cube appeared again.

At the same time, Rasa willed it, accelerated, and pulled away.

The water crashed into the golden cube and sent it falling into the ground.

But Rasa had already dodged, so Natsuki's Water Breathing, Eighth Form, Waterfall Basin did not cause any effective damage.

However, he was not in a hurry.

Suna's defeat was now like a collapsing mountain. The longer this dragged on, the more unfavorable it became for Rasa.

Doll, Victory Formation!

After Natsuki landed, the five dolls charged toward Rasa.

They formed a V shape in the air, like a sharp blade suddenly leaving its sheath.

Seeing this, Rasa raised his hand and waved.

The ground surged, and a wave of gold dust flew out, swallowing the five dolls.

Natsuki was not surprised.

He took a deep breath, gripped Kurosawa, and rushed forward.

Rasa recognized this as the One Sword Style, Iai, Lion Song that Natsuki had used earlier.

Although it was powerful, it could not break through his defense.

Moreover, repeating the same sword technique meant that Natsuki's strongest momentum had passed and he was beginning to fall into a disadvantage.

However, Rasa still did not let down his guard.

Because he knew Natsuki still had Broken Phantasm, which he had yet to use.

In particular, the way he had previously taken out a pile of swords and blades from a storage summoning scroll to detonate them had been extremely powerful.

With a wave of both hands, Rasa created a golden cube to block in front of him.

The golden cube trembled, and Natsuki appeared. Just like before, Kurosawa embedded itself inside it and could no longer advance.

Rasa chuckled softly and waved his hand. The ground beneath Natsuki's feet immediately trembled as gold dust broke through the earth.

Armament Haki!

Reinforcement Magecraft!

Shigan!

Natsuki raised his right hand, and his index finger pierced through the golden cube before heading toward Rasa.

Rasa was shocked.

An unprecedented sense of danger rose in his heart.

He instinctively retreated, but it was already too late.

Because he had too much faith in the defensive power of Magnet Release: Gold Dust Cube.

Most importantly, he was attacking Natsuki and could not change his move in time.

Rasa gritted his teeth and simply increased his chakra output.

Blood sprayed.

An invisible chakra current pierced through his body.

Fortunately, it did not hit his forehead or heart.

Rasa endured the pain and controlled even more gold dust to surge toward Natsuki.

In an instant, Natsuki was wrapped in gold dust.

But in the next second, he used Soru and vanished.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Rasa was so angry that he nearly spat blood.

He had no time to pursue and retreated while clutching his wound.

"Rasa-sama is actually injured?"

Although the other Suna shinobi were organizing a retreat, they had not withdrawn very far.

There was no way around it. Tsunade was in front, and Hatake Sakumo was behind them.

Breaking through would not be easy.

Because of this, many people were watching the battle between Rasa and Natsuki.

Now that they saw Rasa injured, every one of them showed shocked expressions.

"As expected, this Rasa isn't Natsuki's match!"

Nawaki said with an excited expression.

Kosuke understood Rasa's situation better than he did.

It was not that Rasa was weak, but that Natsuki's self-created taijutsu had played its role.

A single finger had actually pierced through such a thick gold dust cube. Who could have expected that?

Before this, such powerful taijutsu had never existed in the shinobi world.

Kosuke felt that what he had said earlier, that Natsuki would become a taijutsu master, would soon come true.

"Well done!"

A smile appeared on Tsunade's face.

Pakura, on the other hand, looked stunned.

She had fought Natsuki before. His archery was indeed very powerful.

But in his battle with Rasa, he had not used archery.

Only now did Pakura realize that when they attacked the outpost back then, even if they had countered Natsuki's archery, it would still have been very difficult to win.

"Rasa, hurry and retreat!"

Pakura took the chance to shout.

She had not reminded him earlier because Rasa and Natsuki had been evenly matched, and Rasa had even held a slight advantage.

But now that he was injured, it was uncertain who would win if he continued fighting.

Moreover, without her and Rasa, it would be difficult for Suna to retreat.

When Rasa heard this, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

In Suna, he was a genius admired by everyone, and his strength truly lived up to the title of genius.

Many people even believed he would be the next Kazekage.

Young and proud, he had suffered a loss at the hands of a Konoha shinobi younger than himself.

Most importantly, he felt that the loss had only happened because he had been careless and had not expected Natsuki to have a method like Shigan.

Although Natsuki had used it earlier, Rasa had been busy putting out the fire and rescuing people, so he had not noticed it.

And even if he had noticed, he might not have been able to defend against it.

After all, Natsuki had not only used Shigan, but also Armament Haki and Reinforcement Magecraft.

Under the double reinforcement, the power of Shigan had more than doubled.

Unwillingness appeared on Rasa's face.

Although he knew Pakura was right, he could not bring himself to retreat after being injured.

Rasa's gaze sharpened, and he decided to use his full strength for one final attack.

Even if he could not kill Natsuki, he had to heavily injure him.

Thinking this, Rasa immediately formed hand signs with both hands.

Magnet Release: Gold Dust Waves!

Rasa clapped his hands together.

The entire ground began to tremble violently.

"Fall back!"

Natsuki shouted in a grave tone.

Clearly, Rasa was no longer holding back and was preparing to kill him.

With a rumble, the ground cracked open with Rasa at the center, and countless streams of gold dust surged out.

They covered the entire sky like a rainstorm.

Countless grains of gold dust filled Natsuki's vision.

For most shinobi, such a large-scale attack left nowhere to escape.

But Natsuki was not among most shinobi.

Geppo!

Natsuki shot up from the ground and quickly rushed into the sky.

"Don't even think about it!"

Rasa had seen Geppo before, so he knew there was a high chance Natsuki would use it.

He formed hand signs with both hands again.

Magnet Release: Gold Dust Grand Burial!

Terrifying chakra was poured into the ground, and the earth trembled like an earthquake.

The originally ordinary ground completely turned into gold dust, shining brilliantly.

But behind this rich-looking Magnet Release ninjutsu was killing intent.

In the original story, Gaara used Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral.

Its effect was to crush all matter within the area covered by sand.

Magnet Release: Gold Dust Grand Burial was the predecessor of Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral, but it was denser and heavier than ordinary sand.

Because it used gold dust.

The entire ground turned into gold dust and flew toward the sky.

Like ocean waves, it was both vast and fast.

Rasa's entire face was tense. Clearly, this was his all-out attack.

Natsuki looked down and saw an extremely spectacular scene.

Flowing gold dust was everywhere, and its momentum was so great that it seemed about to cover the entire sky.

Seeing this, Tsunade instinctively wanted to step forward and rescue him, but Pakura held her back.

"Natsuki!"

Nawaki immediately became anxious.

Kosuke was calmer than him and instantly threw out a shuriken.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!

But the dense shuriken that struck the gold dust were all knocked away.

Natsuki immediately opened a storage summoning scroll.

A large number of swords and blades were thrown out by him.

In a certain sense, he countered Rasa.

Because Rasa was a shinobi biased toward wide-area attacks.

Against Natsuki, that was not as lethal.

However, making the scene bigger would leave a deeper impression on Konoha and Suna's shinobi, which would help increase his fame.

Broken Phantasm!

Natsuki snapped his fingers.

All the swords and blades suddenly exploded.

Chakra currents surged into the sky, turning into a violent white light.

Seeing this, Rasa also shouted fiercely.

The gold dust trembled and released a deafening sound.

Two explosions burst open in midair, and countless fragments and gold dust scattered in every direction.

The Suna and Konoha shinobi who were fighting could not help but freeze.

They all retreated at the same time.

Rasa could not help but gasp for breath.

With a casual wave, he stepped onto a sand cushion.

The sand cushion retreated at extremely high speed.

Rasa clutched his wound and looked toward the sky.

At this moment, the sky was still extremely chaotic, and the exact situation could not be seen.

He did not know whether Natsuki was dead or not.

But he believed he was already dead, because he believed in the power of his Magnet Release: Gold Dust Grand Burial.

Unfortunately, Suna had still lost this war.

They had suffered too many losses.

Out of four thousand shinobi, if one thousand could remain after the retreat ended, that would already be a victory.

With so many shinobi dead or captured, it would be very difficult for Suna to continue fighting Konoha.

The only option was to seek peace.

Just as Rasa was thinking, he suddenly felt a chill run through him.

A shadow on the ground leaped up and transformed into Natsuki.

"How is that possible?"

Seeing Natsuki completely unharmed, Rasa's heart shook violently.

Actually, it was very simple.

Although Magnet Release: Gold Dust Grand Burial was powerful, its range was also very large.

Once the range was large, the power would not be so concentrated.

Although this level of power was enough to crush most shinobi to pieces, Natsuki was different.

He had Armament Haki, Reinforcement Magecraft, Doll, X Formation, and Violet Umbrella.

Moreover, Rasa's Magnet Release leaned toward physical attacks.

Natsuki had blocked it without even using the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit.

After blocking it, he used the explosion to obstruct Rasa's vision and activated Shadow Assassin.

The instant Rasa lost focus, he jumped out.

Starburst Stream!

Natsuki held two Kurosawa and instantly swung his blades.

Rasa's reaction speed was very fast.

He instinctively controlled the gold dust to block in front of him.

But Starburst Stream was not one strike, it was sixteen strikes.

His gold dust only blocked the first three strikes. The remaining thirteen all landed on his body.

In an instant, Rasa felt intense pain spread through his entire body.

Blood sprayed wildly, and he fainted directly.

Natsuki grabbed Rasa and immediately retreated.

Because the other Suna shinobi had released a dense wave of ninjutsu toward him.

"Save him!"

Tsunade flashed forward, directly abandoning Pakura and blocking in front of Natsuki.

She punched out, shattering many of the ninjutsu into pieces.

Kosuke and the others also formed hand signs one after another, blocking the remaining ninjutsu.

"Tsunade-sensei, I did not fail you!"

Natsuki smiled and set Rasa down.

Tsunade was immediately speechless.

She truly had not expected Natsuki to capture Rasa alive.

After all, Rasa was older and had the Magnet Release kekkei genkai.

She had to admit, Natsuki had given her a huge surprise.

"Hizashi, take Rasa away."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she looked toward the retreating Pakura and said happily, "If the two of us take down Pakura, we can end this war!"

Pakura sensed her gaze, and her face could not help but turn pale. She felt that Suna might truly end here.

With Rasa captured, it was impossible for her alone to lead the rest of Suna's shinobi out.
