Rasa immediately formed hand seals. A dense wave of gold dust surged from the ground, forming a thick wall in front of him.
However, the expected explosion never came. The giant orange-red fireball passed directly through the gold dust wall. A searing heat washed over them, filling all three with despair.
"This is impossible!" Rasa's eyes widened as he roared in disbelief.
"That's it!"
Release!
Rasa formed a hand seal, and the illusion before him instantly vanished.
Rasa and his two men had been captivated by Pakura's words and actions, falling into a genjutsu without realizing it.
With guidance from Kageyama Kogetsu and having exchanged knowledge with Itachi Uchiha and Kurenai, Pakura's skill in genjutsu was not low in the slightest.
"Ahhh..."
The two Suna ANBU ninja, despite having no flames on their bodies, writhed madly on the ground, their faces contorted in agony, letting out blood-curdling screams.
Soon, their brains were completely deceived by the genjutsu, believing they had truly been roasted into mummies by the Scorch Release. They lay motionless on the ground.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
A dense barrage of orange-red arrows shot out from the fireball above Pakura's head, a thousand arrows firing at once, like a meteor shower of fire—brilliant, splendid, and deadly!
Rasa formed hand seals and pressed them to the ground. A golden-yellow tsunami of gold dust erupted from the earth, forming a wall akin to a Water Formation Wall or an Earth Flow Wall.
The orange-red arrows embedded themselves densely into the gold dust wall. Although they couldn't penetrate the highly defensive gold dust, the terrifyingly high temperature melted the gold dust into a liquid.
Once melted, the gold dust lost its magnetic chakra and temporarily slipped from Rasa's control. It would need to solidify before he could control it again with his Magnet Release.
Pakura formed a seal. Surrounded by four orange-red fireballs, she charged forward with extreme speed and nimble movements.
Like Gaara, Rasa was a ninjutsu-type shinobi. His taijutsu was only considered average among ninja of his rank, so he naturally wanted to prevent Pakura from getting close.
Therefore, Rasa manipulated the gold dust to surge towards her like a golden wave, its crest over ten meters high, an impressive sight.
Pakura did not dodge. With a dance of her hands, the four fireballs merged into one. Its power swelled with its size, and using its momentum, it instantly melted a large hole through the wave.
Rasa quickly formed hand seals, manipulating the gold dust wave to reverse its flow and attack from both sides.
Scorch Release: Heat Burst!
Pakura waved her hands, and the large fireball split back into four. Three of them flew behind her and to her left and right.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Massive explosions roared as three columns of orange-red flame shot into the sky. The violent shockwaves blasted the surrounding gold dust into pieces, sending it flying everywhere.
Magnet Release: Gold Dust Torrent!
Rasa formed hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground. Ripples spread out in all directions, and countless particles of gold dust surged from beneath the grayish-brown Gobi, turning a large area into a domain of gold dust.
The countless gold dust particles formed into surging golden waves, their height and thickness at least twice as powerful as the previous wave, and there was more than one. The display was immense.
An ordinary ninja would be like an ant before such waves. The vast majority of ninja in the world facing this technique could basically just wait for death.
Pakura was fearless. No matter how grand the display, she would only charge straight ahead!
Sage Mode!
Having accumulated enough natural energy, Pakura formed hand seals. Arcane cyan patterns appeared on her face, and her power surged in every aspect...
Six fireballs appeared around her. Unlike the previous orange-red ones, these were a brilliant white and the size of millstones.
Pakura pointed a finger, and one of the brilliant white fireballs instantly melted a large hole through the thick wave of gold dust.
After breaking through five waves of golden sand, Pakura manipulated the remaining brilliant white fireballs and charged towards Rasa. However, halfway there, she threw a fireball to her left.
Pow!
With a sudden burst of speed, Pakura delivered a knee strike to Rasa's chest, shattering him into a cloud of gold dust.
Boom!
A small, brilliant white mushroom cloud rose into the air. The explosion was deafening. The ground either melted or crystallized, and a powerful shockwave swept out in all directions, kicking up a hurricane...
"Cough, cough."
When the shockwave subsided, Rasa reappeared, coughing twice. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. His Kazekage hat was gone, and his Kazekage robe was in tatters, revealing the battle armor beneath.
Magnet Release: Gold Dust Rain!
Rasa formed hand seals. The scattered gold dust quickly gathered and formed into a dense shower of gold dust senbon. The countless senbon shot out, descending like a golden cloud...
Sage Art: Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Pakura formed hand seals, took a deep breath, and exhaled. A surging torrent of air swept out, becoming a violent hurricane.
The hurricane kicked up sand and dust, directly blowing the rain of gold dust senbon into disarray, rendering it useless, and its momentum did not cease.
Rasa had no choice but to summon gold dust to form a wall for defense. The sky was obscured by sand and dust, and the Third Eye floating in mid-air was forced to close due to the debris.
Surrounded by basketball-sized, brilliant white fireballs, Pakura charged forward...
Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Method!
With Rasa at the center, gold dust with opposing magnetic forces collided. Due to the opposing and amplified magnetic forces, the gold dust spread out irregularly in all directions...
Theoretically, if the user had enough chakra, this technique, which served both offense and defense, could expand indefinitely.
Charging in, Pakura merged the brilliant white fireballs surrounding her into one. An incredibly blinding white light bloomed, and a deafening explosion roared once more...
Another small, white mushroom cloud rose. The violent shockwave tore through the Gold Dust Imperial Method before it could fully form, and Rasa suffered more internal injuries.
Sage Art: Scorch Release: Heat Burst!
Pakura threw a series of brilliant white fireballs into the rolling dust and smoke. Relying on the enhanced perception of Sage Mode, her throws were precise.
Rasa used every trick he had to avoid being directly hit or caught in the explosions, but the continuous, searing shockwaves vibrating through his body worsened his internal injuries. He was also burned, cutting a very pathetic figure.
When the attack stopped, Rasa had no will to fight anymore. He immediately created a sand platform, jumped onto it, and tried to break through in the direction of Kimimaro and Kabuto Yakushi...
"Don't think you can escape, Rasa!"
Sage Art: Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!
A dense barrage of air bullets shot from Pakura's mouth, like a machine gun strafing the sky...
The key to this technique was that the air bullets were invisible and transparent. Non-dōjutsu users and those without keen perception were extremely susceptible to it.
Enhanced with Sage chakra, their number, speed, and power had all surged!
Before he could fly very high, Rasa hastily summoned gold dust to form a thick shield to block, but the shield was riddled with holes like a hornet's nest.
Fortunately, after being weakened by the shield and his battle armor, the bullets had little power left, only leaving some shallow, bleeding holes in his body.
The bad news was that the sand platform he was standing on was shattered, and Rasa was forced to land back on the ground.
Sage Art: Inorganic Reanimation!
Pakura formed hand seals. The sand scattered around them was instantly controlled, forming sharp, yellowish-brown spears that pierced Rasa's upper body from the front, back, left, and right.
"Pfft..."
Rasa spat out a large mouthful of blood. He looked down in disbelief, wanting to say something, but his throat was full of bloody foam, and he couldn't form any clear words.
"Hmph... The Kazekage of Sunagakure dying by sand. It's a fitting end," Pakura sneered, feeling a sense of catharsis.
Rasa's eyes were filled with resentment and despair. His own death was a small matter, but the fact that Sunagakure had fallen into a trap was a grave one. How could he rest in peace?
But no matter how unwilling he was, death would not be swayed by his will. Rasa's head suddenly drooped, blood dripping down, and his breathing stopped completely...
