Chapter 53
He merely frowned at the blow he had just received.
Yellow sand hung in the air, swirling with the desert wind. The harsh environment agitated Manda's already foul temper.
"Roar! Die, you little worm!" Manda roared as his massive body coiled and whipped his tail with tremendous force against the sand wall that Rasa had raised.
Boom! The sand wall cracked on impact. Manda's tail pressed forward, relentless, crashing toward Rasa who hovered mid-air.
Bang! A dense cloud of gold sand intercepted the strike. Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, looked unimpressed. Despite the snake's enormous size, to a shinobi of Kage level, it was merely troublesome.
"You damned little Sand shinobi! You've enraged Lord Manda!" the serpent hissed, eyes gleaming crimson.
Manda, a legendary summoning creature of the Hidden Sound, had long commanded fear throughout the shinobi world. It tolerated no disrespect.
With a furious howl, Manda surged forward. Its jaws parted slightly, venom bubbling at the fangs, cold fury in its eyes.
"Hmph." Rasa's expression remained calm. This terrain, despite being desert, wasn't ideal due to the constant interference from Manda's thrashing. Still, with a wave of his hand, chakra flowed, and gold sand gathered at his feet.
Whoosh! Manda lunged. His fangs bared, venom ready to spew.
Boom! A massive golden fist—formed of condensed gold sand—smashed down on Manda's skull, slamming the serpent into the ground. Manda's eyes widened in disbelief.
