Yoruha stood watching the five steel puppets hovering in the air, with Mukade perched on their shoulders. He chuckled, "This really does look like Susanoo, just a bit smaller."
The strength of these steel puppets was not much weaker than Susanoo. After all, they were made of steel and unmanned. Mukade turned to face Yoruha and Temari.
"I didn't expect you to be skilled in space-time ninjutsu. It seems Sunagakure has found a formidable asset. But do you think my puppets are only capable of this?"
Mukade continued, "These are steel puppets, each capable of destroying a mountain."
Temari was a bit tense. "They are indeed powerful, even stronger than Granny Chiyo's puppets."
Yoruha had never seen Chiyo's puppets, but he had an impression. "True, but this weakness hasn't been eliminated. I suspect this isn't Mukade's real body, just one of his puppets. He wouldn't expose such an obvious weakness."
Temari had initially thought of taking out Mukade, rendering the puppets useless.
Hearing Yoruha, she reconsidered. If Mukade had prepared for so many years, why would he leave such a glaring weakness?
"What should we do?" Temari looked at Yoruha, realizing she couldn't participate in this level of battle. Facing even one steel puppet, her ninjutsu seemed ineffective.
Her strongest attack couldn't shake the steel puppets. Now, it seemed they could only rely on Yoruha. Yoruha glanced at Minato and his team approaching.
"Let's finish this quickly. I don't want to stay in this timeline any longer; it's pointless." Temari was stunned, looking at Yoruha. "You can handle them? Those are steel puppets."
Yoruha smiled without saying anything. He looked at the five steel puppets advancing towards them. "Steel can be melted."
"And isn't your father skilled in Magnet Release?" Yoruha added. Temari looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Yoruha explained, "I also know Magnet Release." As he spoke, he raised his right hand. The steel on the five approaching puppets began to shatter inexplicably.
The shattering of steel was a breathtaking sight. Yoruha's eyes narrowed slightly. He clenched his right hand.
"Shatter," Yoruha uttered a single word. The five steel puppets instantly disintegrated, turning into a cloud of iron fragments, leaving only the chakra core of the Dragon Vein.
This scene left everyone in awe. Temari and Mukade stared blankly. "What kind of ability is this?"
Temari asked, trembling slightly. Yoruha replied, "Magnet Release." Temari was incredulous, "I know Magnet Release, but there's no Magnet Release like this."
She knew Magnet Release could control steel, but it couldn't pulverize steel into fragments from a distance like Yoruha did. Even her father couldn't achieve such a feat. It was miraculous, beyond what a normal ninja could do.
Yoruha's power completely overturned her previous impression of him.
As a bodyguard, she initially thought that with his strength, being a Hokage's guard was no problem. But now, she felt that Yoruha was simply a monster.
Not only was he proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he also mastered the Magnet Release from the Hidden Sand Village, achieving a level even her father couldn't reach.
Yoruha didn't answer Temari's question, just waved his hand.
The iron sand floating in the air instantly shot towards Mukade. The speed was incredible, and the iron sand surrounded him in an instant. Then, the iron sand began to spin around him wildly.
In the blink of an eye, Mukade's body was riddled with countless holes from the iron sand, and in less than a second, his entire body turned to ashes.
Yoruha wasn't surprised, "Just as I thought, it wasn't the real body." Temari stood aside, watching Yoruha with a look as if she was observing a monster.
Being proficient in Magnet Release was one thing, but she never expected Yoruha's Magnet Release to be so insanely powerful. The scene of the iron sand annihilating Mukade was too shocking.
Temari never imagined Magnet Release could be used this way. She even wondered if her father was using Magnet Release wrong by controlling gold dust.
After Yoruha dealt with the five steel puppets and Mukade, Minato and his team finally arrived.
Seeing the iron sand on the ground, Minato and his team looked up at Yoruha and Temari standing on the rooftop.
Choza Akimichi sighed, "This guy is unbelievably strong. No wonder he can be a Hokage's guard. Are the next generation's kids going to be as strong as him?"
"I wonder who his parents are. To raise such a child, his parents must be strong too, but it seems like there's no such expert in Konoha?"
"He's proficient in Magnet Release, which is a kekkei genkai. Does Konoha have a Magnet Release kekkei genkai?" Shibi Aburame shook his head, "No, I don't recall any."
Minato was silent for a moment before saying, "With his strength, it's likely he developed Magnet Release himself. He even improved the Flying Thunder God Technique, so developing Magnet Release shouldn't be surprising."
"Having such a strong protector in Konoha, it's no wonder the Hidden Sand Village seeks help from Konoha."
At this time, Konoha and the Hidden Sand Village hadn't formed an alliance, so the two villages were not in frequent contact.
After all, being one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, how could they fall to the point of seeking help from another?
It could only mean the Hidden Sand Village was weaker than Konoha, or that only Konoha's experts could handle Mukade.
Meanwhile, as Yoruha dealt with Mukade's puppets, the real Mukade, hidden beneath the ancient city of Roran, opened his eyes.
Surrounded by countless chakra threads, these threads connected to the Dragon Vein, providing him with a continuous supply of chakra.
Mukade stood up from his throne, looking in Yoruha's direction, "I didn't expect this guy to have some skills."
"He managed to instantly deal with my steel puppets and is proficient in Magnet Release, which restrains my steel puppets somewhat."
"But I have more than just these puppets. It's time to test the strongest puppet I've developed." With that, Mukade began forming hand seals.
"Puppet Technique: Giant Puppet." After completing the seals, Mukade slammed his palm onto the ground.
Countless chakra threads around began to frantically draw chakra from the Dragon Vein. Hidden puppet parts beneath the ground started to assemble.
At this moment, the ancient city of Roran experienced violent tremors, as if something was about to break through the earth.
