Hanzo's eyes gleamed.
He knew it! How could Haruki die so easily? After all, Haruki is his disciple.
[Ding!]

[Your Cursed Spirit Choso's rank has increased to 53%.]
Rasa's heart sank continuously. The Amegakure ninjas in Rifting Gorge had returned safely, then what about Pakura and the others?
Rasa dared not imagine. That little brat was stronger than he had imagined. He could even summon powerful monsters. It seemed Amegakure also had a genius.
What Rasa had to do was to kill this genius before he fully matured.
Purple poisonous mist spread out from Hanzo, like a living creature, expanding in all directions. The poisonous mist rolled and roared like a venomous snake in the dark sandstorm.
Behind Rasa, the venom spewed from Ibuse's mouth swiftly devoured everything: yellow sand, corpses... even the air sizzled as if being corroded.
Gold dust solidified into a round stone beneath Rasa's feet, lifting him up. Rasa floated in mid-air as the gold dust around him surged like an ocean about to face a tsunami.
Rasa's face, hard as iron, held a hint of paleness. His encounter with Hanzo had caused him to lose too much Chakra. Even with an antidote capable of countering Hanzo's poisonous mist, it was difficult to defeat Hanzo.
This Ninja World Demigod possessed extremely rich combat experience, and his taijutsu was among the best. His use of internal toxins was even more masterful.
For a time, Rasa was at a loss. Also, behind Rasa, there was a summoned beast, Ibuse, constantly lurking.
The monsters summoned by the brat from Amegakure named Haruki were wreaking havoc on the battlefield. If this continued, Sunagakure would surely lose.
Rasa could not lose. Otherwise, all the prestige he had accumulated would be for naught. Not only that, but the Kazekage would also not let him off.
This time, the number of ninjas he and Pakura had led was considerable. The Kazekage's goal was for them to achieve a quick victory and prevent Amegakure from interfering with the Konoha battlefield. Konoha was their truly formidable enemy.
Rasa's breathing carried a subtle heaviness. He narrowed his eyes, watching Hanzo, who had disappeared into the poisonous mist. His pupils darted around, not missing the slightest rustle.
There was only one way to salvage Sunagakure's current decline.
Kill Haruki!
The remaining ninjas of Amegakure could no longer even stand, let alone continue fighting.
As long as Haruki is killed, the monsters he controls will disappear and Sunagakure will immediately gain the upper hand.

Gold dust converged, like surging waves on the sea, overwhelming and obscuring the sky.
Hanzo's figure weaved through the poisonous mist.
The air was stirred as a thick gold dust giant shield rose from the ground before him.
Bang!
Hanzo's scythe deeply cut into the gold dust giant shield and sparks flew.
Hanzo and Rasa's gazes met, filled with chilling killing intent. Their figures rapidly moved and clashed within the poisonous mist.
Each time Hanzo's scythe collided with the gold dust giant shield controlled by Rasa, dazzling sparks erupted.
Rasa's lips were pale, and Chakra surged wildly within him.
A violent hurricane swirled around him, instantly lifting the surrounding yellow sand, and a massive sandstorm swept in.
The moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the battlefield was dim. The chaotic sandstorm dispersed the poisonous mist. Within the sandstorm, gold dust quietly condensed, forming countless spears in the air. It was as if a golden downpour instantly fell upon the desert.
Dense gold dust spears, carrying a piercing shriek that tore through the air, continuously shot out in all directions. The intense offensive forced Hanzo to constantly dodge and swing his scythe to block.
Just as Hanzo was fully concentrated on dealing with Rasa, Rasa, hidden behind the sandstorm, firmly locked onto Haruki's figure in the distance.
Killing intent boiled in his heart.
[Ding!]

[Your Cursed Spirit Sukuna's rank has increased to 97.65%.]
Haruki seemed to sense something and looked behind him. Even though the battlefield before him was dark and chaotic, he felt as if he could see Rasa's bloodshot eyes. It was clear that he was truly hated.
Rasa, don't stop!
Keep hating me!
Anyway, Rasa's emotional value was like solar energy for Haruki.
Recharge energy!
While Hanzo was dealing with the gold dust spears in the air, Rasa didn't stop. He rapidly formed hand signs, his hands moving so fast they left afterimages.
The ocean of gold dust surrounding him roared once more. The gold dust compressed in an instant, forming an enormous, sharply-angled pyramid.
The gold dust began to condense from Hanzo's feet, and Hanzo's limbs were momentarily bound within the gold dust pyramid. Rasa knew the gold dust pyramid couldn't hold Hanzo for too long, so he had to act within this brief window of time.
Kill Haruki!
Given the current situation, Haruki's threat to Sunagakure was even greater than Hanzo's. Hanzo's toxins had already been deciphered by Chiyo, but this brat's mysterious abilities had not.
The pyramid carried an unimaginable terrifying weight and density. The moment the gold dust pyramid descended, the earth sank violently as if struck by a giant hammer.
Hanzo felt his limbs instantly sink into the seemingly soft gold dust. The suction from within the gold dust continuously dragged him deeper into the pyramid.
Hanzo's eyes darkened, and poisonous mist surged from all parts of his body. The gold dust inside the pyramid was corroded by the dense poisonous mist, emitting a piercing sizzling sound.
Just then, Rasa's figure vanished from Hanzo's sight like a ghost.
The moon re-emerged from behind the dark clouds. Cool moonlight bathed the entire battlefield.
Under the moonlight, Rasa's figure was as swift as golden lightning, piercing through the thick dust lingering in the air, instantly arriving behind Haruki. His speed had surpassed the capture of sight.

"Rasa-sama!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill that little monster!"
"Rasa-sama!"
"..."
Rasa's actions were witnessed by countless Sunagakure ninjas, and the despair in their eyes gradually dissipated.
As long as Haruki is killed, all these monsters will disappear.
