"Get away! Get away from the iron sand!"
"Quick! Restrain that Konoha ninja!"
"Damn it, we can't get close at all, this iron sand is too much in the way!"
At this moment, the Cloud ninjas finally recovered from their shock, but that momentary lapse allowed them to suffer again, desperately dodging the iron sand, as if this area had become Kaze's territory, and all creatures within it would die.
"Those injured Konoha ninjas! Attack those ninjas! He won't and can't attack himself!"
Suddenly, someone from the Cloud ninja side shouted, awakening the Cloud ninjas.
Right! As long as they mix with those Konoha ninjas, this large-scale iron sand attack will be ineffective.
Realizing this, the Cloud ninjas rushed towards the Konoha ninjas behind Kaze from all directions, dodging the iron sand while their eyes were full of ruthlessness.
Kaze's expression sank.
He didn't expect that he would be held back one day.
"Nikkan, don't worry about us! Kill them all!"
"Nikkan-sama! We're fine, kill them!"
The Konoha side also realized that their existence was holding Kaze back, and they shouted out loud. Some people, after witnessing the strength Kaze displayed, even began to call him "-sama".
"We can't be a burden! Fight the Cloud ninjas!"
"Fight!"
Kaze's eyes flickered as he watched the Cloud ninjas approaching, and he whispered, "In that case, I'll have to show more of my strength..."
Chapter 117: Reaping the Battlefield
"Just this isn't enough..."
Kaze's eyes narrowed, and he clasped his hands together in a seal.
"Magnet Release! Magnetic World Descent!"
Boom!
All the iron sand exploded almost instantly, turning into tiny dust particles, floating in the air.
Countless iron particles scattered, but then instantly condensed and took shape.
One hard, human-torso-thick black iron pillar after another suddenly appeared, with sharp spikes like forked tree branches. The Cloud ninjas who were attacking the Konoha ninjas were unable to stop their steps due to their own speed and inertia, and crashed headfirst into the suddenly appearing spikes.
Instantly, blood splattered.
Many Cloud ninjas died as a result.
Under Kaze's control, the iron sand could appear or disappear in any place within his line of sight. Even if some Cloud ninjas stopped in time, they still crashed into the spikes behind them.
However, this move requires a great deal of chakra control from the user, and the consumption of chakra is also not small.
But even so, many Konoha ninjas still died in the brief encounter.
The Cloud ninjas' numerical and condition advantages were too great.
Kaze could protect one person, but he couldn't protect everyone.
"This won't work! Even if we kill all the Konoha ninjas, as long as that guy's iron sand is there, we will still suffer heavy losses," one Cloud ninja said, stating the key point.
That's right.
Even if all the other Konoha ninjas died, Kaze could still make them pay a heavy price.
And that price was unacceptable to the Cloud ninjas.
"Barrier!"
Accompanied by an angry shout, many Cloud ninjas reacted.
"Lightning Release! Sixteen-Pillar Restraint Technique!"
The one who spoke was the commander of this Cloud ninja support unit, Naze Yi!
After a brief encounter, he understood Kaze's strength and came up with a way to deal with it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sixteen stone pillars rose up, and countless currents flowed on the pillars, forming a huge cage, and Kaze was enveloped in it.
Naze Yi was an elite jonin of Cloud Village, and had experience sparring with Troy, a Magnet Release ninja from Cloud Village, and knew a certain way to deal with Magnet Release.
Lightning, to some extent, can also have magnetic force, and even isolate magnetic force.
The barrier successfully restricted Kaze. He could no longer sense the iron sand scattered in the surrounding area, and the lightning blocked his magnetic attraction to the iron sand.
"In this way, without iron sand, you won't pose much of a threat. Did you really think that you alone could fight all of us?"
"Your arrogance ends here, Konoha ninja!"
Naze Yi slowly put down the hand seals and said coldly to Kaze inside the barrier.
Seeing this scene, the nearby Cloud ninjas breathed a sigh of relief.
The crisis was resolved.
"As expected of Naze Yi-sama, even Troy-sama, who also possesses Magnet Release, may not have a way to break it."
"I didn't expect that Konoha would also produce a ninja who can use Magnet Release. He collected so much iron sand without us noticing. If we let him run rampant, I'm afraid this mission would be dangerous."
Noticing this scene, the Konoha side felt a little heavy in their hearts.
"As expected, was I still too naive?"
Originally, I thought the power displayed by "Sarutobi Nikkan" might really be able to keep all the Cloud ninja reinforcements here, but now it seems that I still underestimated the Cloud ninjas. The leading figures are not to be underestimated.
Kaze's previous rampage only took advantage of the lack of information.
Now, the other party has hit his weak spot.
On the other side, Kaze's main body, standing in the crowd, squinted at the trapped "Sarutobi Nikkan", and the corners of his mouth slowly rose imperceptibly.
Is that all?
They underestimated the preparations he had made. They needed to know that what the Cloud ninjas were facing at this time was not just a Magnet Release ninja, but...
