"Orochimaru!!!" Rasa, easily angered, was provoked by Orochimaru’s words. A sword made of gold dust appeared in his hand, charging towards Orochimaru. However, Orochimaru, tightly gripping the Kusanagi sword, directly clashed with Rasa.
The battlefield of the two Kage-levels, the surrounding small soldiers dared not approach, only able to attack each other from the periphery. Although Otogakure, supported by Manda, had risen in strength, the numerical gap was still significant. And the most obvious was the battlefield involving En no Gyōja and Deidara. En no Gyōja himself hadn’t reached Kage-level strength yet. And although Deidara was quite accomplished in explosions, he ultimately wasn’t particularly powerful yet. Under this ebb and flow, although it was two against one, En no Gyōja and Deidara were soon beaten back repeatedly.
Seeing his own strength, resentment continuously grew in Deidara’s heart. This really was... This feeling of powerlessness!
"Orochimaru, your Otogakure is about to collapse! Looks like I won this time!" Rasa fought Orochimaru while still watching the surrounding battle situation. When Manda first appeared, Rasa was worried for a moment. But seeing this scene now, his confidence became immensely strong again. Summoning beasts had limited time in this world. As long as Manda was stalled until it automatically returned, the remaining matters would be much simpler.
"Attack! Kill them all! Whoever crushes Otogakure first will get one chance to enter the Forbidden Jutsu Room!" Rasa shouted loudly.
With Rasa’s words, the Suna ninjas present were filled with motivation. That was Sunagakure’s Forbidden Jutsu Room! As long as they could enter, it would definitely be very beneficial for their ninjutsu reserves. If they were lucky enough to learn Rasa’s Magnet Release... Thinking of this, the Sunagakure ninjas seemed injected with chicken blood, one by one howling and starting to desperately smash ninjutsu onto the Otogakure ninjas.
Instantly, Otogakure, faced with this desperate attack from Sunagakure, became somewhat routed. One by one, they couldn’t help retreating.
"Indeed, still not enough," Orochimaru saw this scene with his peripheral vision. Indeed, the mindset of these ninjas wasn’t enough. Or rather, their sense of belonging to Otogakure wasn’t enough. If they had a stronger sense of belonging, they definitely wouldn’t make such actions resembling fleeing before battle. Of course, for them, perhaps they inherently didn’t want to provoke war again.
"Follow me!!! Attack!!!" Deidara saw this scene, the bloodlust in his heart began to erupt. Instantly, he actually used exploding clay to force the Kage-level powerhouse from Sunagakure back a step. Then, holding large amounts of exploding clay, Deidara took the lead and ran towards Sunagakure’s direction.
Seemingly sensing Deidara’s bloodlust, those retreating Oto ninjas began to swallow hard, then stomped their legs. "Damn it! Drive them out of our Otogakure!!!" An Oto ninja couldn’t hold back anymore, grabbing the kunai in his hand and charging directly towards the Suna ninjas. One after another... The encouraged Oto ninjas began gritting their teeth and continuously rushing towards Sunagakure’s direction. Although the battlefield was brutal, with Karin’s healing, they seemed immune to pain, continuously surging forward.
