In the territory of the Land of Rain.
Rasa flew at a high altitude, sitting on his gold dust, with a grim expression.
The words Pakura had said the day before in front of everyone still echoed in his mind.
He knew that Pakura was deliberately attacking him, as they were both strong contenders to be the next Kazekage.
But he also had to admit that Pakura's suspicions made a lot of sense.
Both the gold dust left at the scene and the state of the ninjas' corpses were almost identical to his style of attack.
Rasa couldn't understand how Konoha had managed to do something like that.
But, either way, he had to investigate it thoroughly.
Otherwise...
Although Chiyo hadn't said anything yesterday, once the war was lost, this could very well become an excuse for the high command to blame him.
And by then, sacrificing him to appease the village's anger...
Rasa felt that something like that was very likely to happen.
"Damn Konoha ninjas!"
Rasa cursed under his breath.
They could have blamed anyone, but they had to frame him.
Was gold dust free?!
After taking a deep breath, Rasa forced himself to calm down.
Whatever the case, what was done was done. The only thing he could do was kill as many Konoha ninjas as possible.
As long as he accumulated enough merits, even if the village's high command wanted to blame him, they wouldn't be able to.
However, now that the Sand Village ninjas had withdrawn, and all the outposts in the Land of Rain had been abandoned, without intelligence or the help of sensor ninjas, Rasa was like a headless fly, searching without finding any Konoha ninjas.
Just as Rasa was about to give up, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
"It's that Uchiha brat!"
Rasa's expression lit up with excitement.
In their last confrontation, this brat had shown amazing talent, not only escaping from his hands but also killing two Jōnin in the process.
Later, on the battlefield against the Cloud Village, he had cut off an arm of the newly appointed Raikage.
And he had heard that he had also recently killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen...
If he managed to kill a rising star from an enemy village like him, perhaps he could become the hero of his own village.
Thinking this, Rasa's heart raced, and a pile of gold dust instantly engulfed the Mirai Uchiha who was on the ground.
"Jutsu: Sand Binding Coffin!"
Under immense pressure, the gold dust instantly compacted.
Poof!
A cloud of white smoke rose and Mirai Uchiha's body vanished into thin air.
Rasa felt a chill and, by instinct, controlled the gold dust to move behind him.
A massive impact force hit him and Rasa crashed heavily to the ground.
"This brat... how did he do it?"
Rasa got up from the ground and looked at Mirai Uchiha, who was already in front of him, with an expression of utter disbelief.
When had he discovered him? And why had he been able to suddenly appear behind him and attack him while flying at high altitude?
No.
None of that mattered.
As long as he killed the brat in front of him, everything else would cease to be a problem.
Thinking this, Rasa looked at Mirai Uchiha and smiled coldly: "Brat, last time you were lucky and escaped. This time you won't be so lucky."
"I will kill you and use your corpse to forge my legend."
"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for always acting alone."
Rasa said confidently.
In their last confrontation, this brat was certainly strong, but he didn't pose a great threat to him.
If it weren't for Minato Namikaze arriving at the last moment and rescuing him from his gold dust barrier, this brat would already be dead.
Therefore, Rasa was confident he could easily defeat the Mirai Uchiha before him.
At this, Mirai Uchiha simply snorted with disdain: "Rasa, I'm going to smash you back into reality."
"Stop being so arrogant." Rasa raised his arms and a large amount of gold dust condensed in the air in the form of a huge triangular pyramid, which violently rushed towards Mirai Uchiha.
Boom!
The earth trembled and Rasa's face filled with immense panic.
Above Mirai Uchiha's head, an equally gigantic cube of gold dust had easily blocked his attack.
"Magnet Style..."
"You were the one who attacked the outposts!"
In an instant, Rasa understood everything.
It turns out that the remnants of gold dust at the attacked outposts were not an attempt by Konoha to frame him, but that the enemy had actually used the Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Style!
"Why do you have the same Kekkei Genkai as me?"
Even with Rasa's composure, his mind descended into chaos.
An Uchiha brat from Konoha, using a Kekkei Genkai exclusive to the Sand Village...
Did that make any sense?
However, Mirai Uchiha did not answer any of his questions.
After trying to control the gold dust imbued with Rasa's chakra and finding that he couldn't, Mirai Uchiha directly activated the Eight Inner Gates and disappeared from the spot.
The next second, his figure appeared in front of Rasa and he launched a whip kick.
A cold smile appeared in Rasa's eyes as he condensed a large amount of gold dust in front of him.
A brat was a brat, choosing to fight him in close combat.
As long as he was caught by his gold dust, the victory of this battle would be his.
Thump!
Rasa's body was sent flying and crashed violently to the ground.
He spat out a large mouthful of blood and, before he could get up, Mirai Uchiha's fist had already smashed into his chest.
Even with the protection of his gold dust armor, Rasa's chest was pierced by Mirai Uchiha's punch.
Seeing those completely different crimson eyes, Rasa's gaze filled with astonishment.
He had been defeated so easily...
Why?
If just a few months ago, he himself had cornered this brat. How could he have obtained such immense strength in such a short time?
And what was with those eyes? Why were they completely different from the Sharingan he had seen before?
And why could he use the same Magnet Style Kekkei Genkai as him?
Too many questions arose endlessly in Rasa's mind, but unfortunately, no one could give him an answer.
Feeling his life quickly fading away, Rasa tightly gripped Mirai Uchiha's arm and, with his last ounce of strength, enveloped it in gold dust.
"Even if I die, I won't let you get away with it!"
Thump!
The immense pressure crushed Mirai Uchiha's arm into a mass of flesh and blood, his bones filled with fractures.
Seeing this scene, Rasa's face once again showed an expression of astonishment.
He had just used all his strength; even steel would have been pulverized under that powerful pressure.
But an attack like that hadn't even been able to pulverize the bones of the brat in front of him.
The physical resistance of his body... how could it be so terrifying!
Rasa couldn't take it anymore. His vision went dark and, with immense bitterness, he completely lost his life.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the reward: Chakra +1!]
Ignoring the voice in his mind, Mirai Uchiha silently looked at his arm, which was a mess.
"Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto!"
The ocular power of the Mangekyō Sharingan erupted and Mirai Uchiha's body rewound several tens of seconds.
In a single instant, his arm had already fully recovered.
A healing effect that not even a top-tier medical ninja like Tsunade could match.
Time was supreme!
"Compared to the ability of the left eye, the ocular power consumed by the right eye is almost insignificant."
Mirai Uchiha muttered after feeling it.
He had deliberately avoided Rasa's attack, first, to test the resistance of his own body, and second, to test the ability of his right eye.
Now, it seemed that both answers had left him immensely satisfied.
Thump!
After crushing Rasa's head with his foot, Mirai Uchiha, with a thought, made the attribute panel appear before his eyes.
[Name: Mirai Uchiha]
[Constitution: 748]
[Mental Strength: 728]
[Chakra: 732]
[Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyō Sharingan! Magnet Style: Gold Dust!]
[Ninjutsu: ...]
[Other: ...]
"My three attributes have already surpassed seven hundred, and my ninjutsu are innumerable."
"It's time to launch an all-out attack on the Sand Village."
With that said, Mirai Uchiha's figure disappeared.
On the ground, Rasa's headless corpse lay silently in the rain, emitting a constant smell of blood.
