For a master swordsman like Sakumo Hatake, who relied not on elemental ninjutsu but on the sheer strength of his taijutsu and unparalleled swordsmanship, there were few natural counters. However, Magnet Release was undoubtedly one of the exceptions, a deadly nemesis that left no room for negotiation. After all, no matter how extraordinary a blade might be, it was still made of iron.
"This truly is a magnificent sword! Worthy of the legend of the 'White Fang of Konoha,'" Jinghang remarked, admiring the famed weapon as he toyed with it. At this moment, the weapon's owner lay slumped in a corner, coughing up blood. In the collapsed fortress, only a handful of Konoha shinobi were still breathing. Hundreds of their elite comrades lay scattered in pools of blood, their bodies littering the floor and walls. The pungent stench of blood filled the air, suffocating the space.
The central fortress of Lishi spanned roughly 600 square meters. Jinghang's control range for his Magnet Release: Iron Sand extended up to 800 meters. With so many people crammed into this semi-enclosed space, it was practically a battlefield designed for Jinghang. In such an environment, there was nowhere to run or hide. Jinghang released all twelve tons of iron sand he had sealed in scrolls. Just as Sakumo Hatake prepared to deliver his final strike, Jinghang filled the fortress with his iron sand.
"To the Konoha shinobi across from me, you are now surrounded by just one man," Jinghang thought with dark amusement.
