Black Iron Sand surged from the ground like a waterfall, meeting the sand wave created by Gaara.
Perhaps the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand wasn't as plentiful as Gaara's sand, but its power was not inferior.
After a brief stalemate, the black Iron Sand and yellow sand fell back to the ground simultaneously, contributing a desert of unknown hundreds or thousands of square meters to the Land of Fire.
As expected, the people of the Land of Wind were all land killers.
At this moment, the four previous generation Shadows saw the five figures floating behind the sand wave, and also saw the white light flashing in Ōnoki's hand.
"Dust Release: Original Boundary Detachment Technique!"
"Dust Release: Original Boundary Detachment Technique!"
The Second Earth Shadow reacted quickly enough, the cylindrical Dust Release light meeting the conical Dust Release light fired by Ōnoki. This Ninjutsu completely disregarded the principle of breaking a surface with a point, and the two stubbornly fought to a standstill.
Intense white light flashed, and the two's Ninjutsu exploded at the point of collision, the ground affected by the blast caving in. The sand, stones, earth, wood, and insects that were originally there disappeared without a trace.
Dust Release could completely decompose anything it hit into atoms, invisible to the naked eye.
Anyway, Naruto didn't understand the effect of this Ninjutsu. With his poor knowledge of physics and chemistry, although so many things were reduced to atomic states, they were still in such a close space. There should be some physical or chemical reactions, combining to produce some new compounds or elements, right? After all, it was decomposition, not disappearance, but the way it was portrayed in the anime was like annihilation out of thin air. Was that scientific? He'd have to ask Orochimaru when he had the chance.
Gaara placed the Mizukage, Raikage, and Killer Bee on the ground, while he himself floated with Ōnoki at a height of two or three meters above the ground.
The five of them stared at their respective predecessors, their moods complex.
"Still alive, Ōnoki, but you really have aged beyond recognition." The Second Earth Shadow didn't really want to fight, at least he wanted to ask how the village was doing now before fighting.
"Lord Mū's Dust Release is just as powerful as it was back then." Ōnoki placed one hand behind his back, praying that his old back would hold up.
"A, Bee, you two look a lot more mature, I wonder if your skills have improved." The Third Raikage crossed his arms, sizing up his son. Back then, he was dragged down on the battlefield to cover the retreat, leaving his son with a mess.
Speaking of which, all the Raikage were called A, he wondered if the Third felt awkward when calling his son that, he didn't really understand their culture.
Blue arcs of electricity flickered on the Fourth Raikage's body: "Try it and you'll find out, you bastard old man who still causes trouble even after death!"
Killer Bee struck a strange pose with one leg raised, using his mouth, neck, shoulders, armpits, and the bends of his legs to clamp seven swords at once, muttering with a sword in his mouth: "A showdown, bakayaro!"
"Perfect, let me see how much you've grown!" The Third Raikage covered himself in Lightning Armor, transforming into a streak of light and engaging in battle with the AB Combo.
The Raikage side was full of fatherly love and filial piety, all with explosive tempers, preferring to speak with their fists rather than their mouths. The other Shadows took advantage of the fact that they hadn't been forcibly ordered to start fighting to have a good chat, at least to clarify the current situation.
"After several decades, the Five Great Shinobi Villages have united once again? And it seems the relationship between the villages is even closer than last time." The First Mizukage sighed with emotion, "Speaking of which, what exactly did Gengetsu do? Kirigakure has actually fallen to the point where children have to bear the responsibility of the Shadow."
Perhaps it was because he was old, the First's gaze towards Yagura carried a strong sense of affection... a hellish affection!
Yagura's expression instantly changed, and he roared: "This old man is not a child!"
What First, what predecessor, this old man will beat you to death today!
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
The First Mizukage retaliated with the same Ninjutsu, the two stalemating, a large amount of water temporarily forming an Artificial Lake here, the two standing on the water facing each other, the others moving slightly away from this battlefield.
"Oh my, what impressive young people." The First Mizukage praised, actually he didn't want to resist, he felt that after understanding the current situation of Kirigakure Village and the Shinobi World, it would be good to be defeated and sent back to the netherworld, but unfortunately his body didn't listen to his commands and acted involuntarily.
As soon as he finished speaking, the First Mizukage completed another set of hand seals: "Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique."
They had the perception-type Second Tsuchikage, Mū, on their side. Once the Hidden Mist Technique was successfully used, even if the two Mizukage were equally skilled in assassination techniques, their side would have the advantage.
"Wind Release: Typhoon Passage!" Yagura certainly wouldn't let him get his way. This move was a Wind Release specifically designed to counter the Hidden Mist Technique. As the head of Kirigakure, with a bunch of assassins under him, how could he not have a means of restraint?
The Hidden Mist Technique was dispersed by a hurricane before it could even form. Yagura charged forward, wielding the black rod in his hand.
According to the information from Impure World Reincarnation, reincarnated individuals could recover from injuries indefinitely. To seal them, they needed to be trapped or inflicted with severe injuries that were difficult to recover from quickly. So, what would happen if he hit him with Coral Palm? Yagura was eager to try.
The First Mizukage was also a battle-hardened ninja. He kicked apart the Water Clone that was ambushing him from below, and then began to exchange blows with Yagura.
The Third Kazekage and Gaara were on relatively harmonious terms. Out of respect for his predecessor, Gaara told him about the current state of Sunagakure Village, and also told him about the fate of Sasori of the Red Sand, who had killed him.
The Third Kazekage felt some regret for Sasori, a rare genius of Sunagakure Village, who unexpectedly attacked him, the Shadow. After lamenting for a while, he looked at Gaara: "Are you Rasa's son? To become Kazekage at this age, you are young and promising."
Gaara's tone was calm: "Many things have happened."
"It seems like it's been hard on you." The Iron Sand around the Third Kazekage floated up, and he said with a wry smile, "Not only can I, this dead predecessor, not help, but I also have to cause you trouble, and it's not the first time I've caused you trouble, has it?"
"It doesn't matter." Gaara waved his hand, and sand also floated around him. "My goal is to lead the companions of Sunagakure Village to a better life. Whether the things left by the predecessors are convenient or troublesome, I will take them all. This is the resolve I had before taking over as Kazekage."
"Is that so? That's good." The Third Kazekage smiled. He was really happy to have such a successor. "Then, please defeat me, Fifth Kazekage!"
"That's only natural!" Gaara waved his hand, and the sand waves rose again.
The black Iron Sand and the Yellow sand collided, sometimes like two water waves colliding, sometimes like two long dragons entwined, sometimes turning into a rainstorm to attack, and sometimes turning into a giant shield to defend.
Not only did they have to observe the battle situation directly in front of them, but they also had to pay attention at all times to whether a section of sand or Iron Sand would suddenly emerge from under their feet. The danger involved was no less than close combat.
