Chapter 93: Don't Casually Talk to a Ninja; He Might Be Secretly Recovering [Cooldowns]
Uehara Naraka flew out of the gold dust sphere, the purple energy in his eyes slowly fading, as if he had just vented his anger.
The next second, a purple broadsword [Twilight Blade] appeared beside Uehara.
Uehara Naraka suddenly charged towards Rasa, raised the Twilight Blade in his hand, and fiercely cleaved through the thin layer of gold dust defense before Rasa.
Clang!
Rasa was sent flying by the purple broadsword!
However, this Fourth Kazekage ignored the injuries on his body, merely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a trace of fanaticism flashing in his eyes, "That's... a dōjutsu?"
Didn't expect an unexpected gain!
Originally, Rasa was only interested in Uehara Naraka's genjutsu capable of controlling Tailed Beasts. Now he discovered this little fellow seemed to also possess a strange Kekkei Genkai like a dōjutsu.
There weren't many dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai in the entire ninja world.
Undoubtedly, the effects of dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai were extremely powerful.
Konoha Village's two former great clans both possessed dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai. The Kage and leaders of other hidden villages could only watch and drool, but couldn't easily make a move.
Now, a dōjutsu ninja appeared before Rasa.
"Boy, I want to get you even more."
The Fourth Kazekage fiercely raised his palm, gold dust beginning to reconverge. He proclaimed loudly, "Even if I can't easily capture you now, I will have Hanzō of the Salamander send you to Sunagakure (Village Hidden by Sand)!"
"Rest assured."
Uehara Naraka slowly stretched his arms, looking somewhat mockingly at Rasa, "If I couldn't even kill you, how could I have the face to establish myself in the ninja world?"
Seeing Fourth Kazekage Rasa looking like he had him cornered, Uehara felt a bit like he had been too low-key.
How did it get to the point where everyone felt they could beat him?
Even a Kazekage, who always gets killed, thinks he can beat him? He's a member of Akatsuki; there are plenty of artisans skilled in killing Kazekages here!
The Third Kazekage died at Sasori's hands; the Fourth Kazekage died at Orochimaru's hands; the future Fifth Kazekage died at Deidara's hands.
All the above culprits had stayed in the Akatsuki organization.
"Water Release: Tidal Wave Roar!"
A several-hundred-meter-high ocean wave rose from beneath Uehara Naraka's feet! He poured his chakra unreservedly into the skill.
If facing enemies with large-area defensive and offensive ninjutsu, to defeat them, one must use ninjutsu even more powerful than the enemy's!
If using Slicing Maelstrom, the power of hundreds or thousands of lightning bolts falling in batches might not necessarily break through the gold dust's defense, far inferior to the power of Tidal Wave Roar.
The current Tidal Wave Roar was enough to crush a hidden village!
Even a high mountain would be destroyed by this wave!
At this moment, Fourth Kazekage Rasa's face finally changed drastically!
Rasa looked at the still rising wave crest, a drop of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, "To actually be able to use Water Release ninjutsu of this level, even Kirigakure's (Village Hidden by Mist) Mizukage might not necessarily be able to do it!"
"Ha, Mizukage?"
Uehara Naraka remembered Yagura, who died by his hand, and laughed loudly, "The strongest Water Release ninja in this world isn't Kirigakure's Mizukage!"
After Uehara Naraka finished speaking, his two palms fiercely flipped!
The several-hundred-meter-high ocean wave instantly roared and rushed towards Rasa's position!
Such a high ocean wave could easily submerge a hidden village; its impact force was enough to overcome the gold dust's defense, breaking through all obstructions!
Unless Rasa could conjure a Three Gorges Dam on the spot...
Uehara Naraka quickly dismissed this thought, focusing intently on manipulating the ocean wave rushing towards Rasa.
"Magnet Release: Sand Raft!"
Rasa watched his subordinates below frantically trying to flee. His palm waved, and masses of gold dust transformed into sand rafts, lifting his subordinates into the air.
The gold dust he could currently refine and manipulate simply couldn't condense into a dam capable of withstanding a several-hundred-meter-high wave crest. Therefore, he could only find a way to bring his subordinates to higher ground.
But at their flight speed, it was simply impossible to fly above the wave crest before the ocean wave arrived.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Funeral!"
Gold dust on the ground flickered, and a deep pit appeared!
The ocean wave instantly submerged the deep pit, seemingly without any hindrance at all. The wave crest surged forward, engulfing several Suna ninjas at the rear.
"Hey hey hey, don't run so fast!"
Uehara Naraka flew in the air following the wave, pursuing Rasa and the group of Suna ninjas, trying to attract their attention, "Hey hey hey, seeing such a grand Water Release ninjutsu, aren't you happy?"
"This is also the first time I've released such a powerful ninjutsu with all my strength! You are the first to see it; won't you praise it a bit?"
"Hey, celebrate my ninjutsu!"
"At least clap a little, right?"
"..."
Listening to Uehara Naraka's rambling words, the Suna ninjas' brows twitched simultaneously.
Even though they were already mature ninjas, their emotions were provoked to the point of irritability. If not for the Water Release ninjutsu pursuing too closely, they somewhat wanted to turn back and curse him.
"Ignore him."
Rasa's expression had gradually calmed. He spoke with some confidence, "That kid's chakra is already depleted. As long as we can defend against this one attack, he can only be at our mercy..."
After speaking, he loudly commanded again, "Everyone, take a deep breath now! I am going to construct a gold dust pyramid defense tower!"
"Yes!"
All the Suna ninjas immediately obeyed Rasa's command. Even Gaara, knowing the situation was urgent, also took a deep breath.
However, strands of green light rose from the ocean wave, flowing into Uehara's body. That was the recovery effect of Presence of Mind, triggered by the Sunagakure ninjas killed by Tidal Wave Roar just now.
In an instant, eighty percent of the massive amount of chakra Uehara Naraka had consumed by releasing Tidal Wave Roar at full power had already been restored.
This also allowed Uehara to fight more valiantly as the battle progressed.
Even if in the future he were besieged by tens of thousands like the Third Raikage, he could still continue fighting, rather than dying from exhaustion.
Of course, Uehara definitely couldn't be so unambitious...
He was a man who wanted to be the mastermind! If tens of thousands of ninjas really besieged him, Uehara would at least dance amidst the encirclement of tens of thousands of ninjas like Uchiha Madara.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust!"
Countless gold dust particles flew through the air under Rasa's control.
A triangular vacuum pyramid made of gold dust descended from the sky, covering the group of Suna ninjas on the ground as the wave swept past!
Rasa's crude method was indeed not bad.
This concentrated gold dust mixed with yellow sand was over ten meters thick. The impact force at the bottom of the water wasn't particularly great, allowing them to endure the Tidal Wave Roar's ocean wave.
The group of Suna ninjas squatted on the sealed pyramid, feeling the earth's tremors and the roaring ocean wave passing by, waiting for the wave to flow past.
After waves of ocean water passed outside the gold dust, Rasa slowly dispersed the gold dust, and these ninjas buried deep beneath it finally saw the light of day again.
"We're saved..."
"Worthy of Lord Kazekage..."
This group of Suna ninjas, having escaped disaster, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they were praising the Fourth Kazekage's strength, Rasa's gaze abruptly changed. He quickly shouted a warning, "Be careful!"
However, ultimately, not all ninjas could maintain their original high level of vigilance after a great calamity. Yellow sand quietly converged behind them into humanoid forms.
One by one, sand soldiers holding long spears silently emerged from beneath the feet of this group of Suna ninjas, then fiercely thrust out the spears in their hands!
Swish!
Spear after sand spear pierced through the chests of Suna ninja after Suna ninja!
