Chapter 109: NT: 108: Rasa's Fury
As Tengen vanished from Rasa's sight,
Rasa formed seals, golden sand cloaking his body. Compared to before, the shield was smaller but denser.
A weaker defense risked Tengen breaking through.
"Quick thinking." Tengen's voice rang out before Rasa, who was then kicked skyward.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Countless strikes hammered the gold dust, peeling it away. Tengen's attack power stunned.
"How is this possible?" Rasa's eyes widened in fear, his defense crumbling fast.
"Boom!" Tengen's fist slammed the spherical shield, shattering the gold dust, exposing Rasa within.
"Damn it!" Rasa pointed at Tengen, unleashing Magnet Release.
A clump of gold dust surged, but Tengen flickered, vanishing again.
With Flight Technique, the sky was Tengen's battlefield.
Rasa plummeted toward the ground.
"Let's keep going." Tengen's fist compressed air and Armament Haki.
"Morning Peacock!" Tengen swung at Rasa, friction from air cannons and Armament Haki sparking flames, bombarding Rasa relentlessly.
This altered Morning Peacock, infused with Armament Haki.
"Rumble!" The massive force slammed Rasa into the former Kazekage Building's ruins, shaking all of Sunagakure.
"Kazekage-sama!" Arriving Suna-nins cried out, seeing Rasa engulfed by Morning Peacock's power. They turned to Tengen, hands forming seals, ready to avenge their leader.
"Ding, mission complete. Reward: Ultra-Clear Naruto Video." A system prompt sounded in Tengen's ear.
Tengen gazed calmly at the attacking ninjas. "You're lucky this time. Next time, in war, be ready."
With that, the green energy around Tengen faded.
He released the Eight Gates, then vanished from the scene.
Their ninjutsu missed, lighting the sky like fireworks.
If Tengen went all out, he could devastate Sunagakure, but it wasn't worth the effort.
Unlike Konoha's others, Tengen welcomed war, perhaps his player would catch more quality video signals then.
Plus, this time, he'd snagged an ultra-clear video.
Call it a chance for Sunagakure to live longer, or to serve Tengen's future grinding.
The Suna-nins didn't know Tengen's thoughts. If they did, attacking Konoha, they'd target him.
Tengen wouldn't fear them.
Like the Third Raikage, who faced ten thouSuna-nins and fell, raw power could subdue a village.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara proved it.
In the past, Uchiha Madara toyed with the Five Kage, showing the terror of ninja world-dominating strength.
Such power sat between Kage and Six Paths levels.
Kage level covered standard Kage, even super-Kage strength.
Six Paths level meant mastering most of the ninja world's power.
If Tengen unleashed everything, he might surpass Kage level, though Six Paths was a stretch.
That'd need all Eight Gates open.
Even without, with Sharingan, Uzumaki physique, Jonin skills, Armament Haki, and raw physical might, Tengen ranked top-tier among Kage.
Rasa's easy thrashing proved it.
Taijutsu ninjas countered most ninjutsu users, attacks landed instantly, while ninjutsu needed seals.
Tengen's sudden exit stunned the ninjas, unsure what to do.
"Why are you standing there? Check on Kazekage-sama!" A high-ranking Suna-nin barked.
Rasa's fate was unclear; no time for dazing.
"Yes, sir!" The Suna-nins replied.
The attack's terror had wrecked the Kazekage Building's site, leaving a meters-deep pit.
As they searched,
A familiar figure emerged, face cracked like a shell.
Reaching the crowd, golden clumps flaked off, Rasa's body shield.
He hadn't expected to need it.
Tengen's Morning Peacock didn't kill him, but no doubt, Rasa's fighting strength was gutted.
The system deemed Tengen's mission done.
"Kazekage-sama, are you okay?" Several Sand Jonin approached.
"Fine, still alive." Rasa said coldly.
"Kazekage-sama, we failed, missing the enemy's infiltration." The ninjas admitted.
"It's tied to me pulling ninjas from the village." Rasa said flatly. "Set up a new spot. We'll replan critical matters."
"The Konoha attack." Rasa's eyes iced over. No hiding now, Konoha knew.
Let the village know: time to march on the Land of Fire, on Konoha.
"Yes, Kazekage-sama." a Suna-nin replied.
Soon after,
Pakura returned to Sunagakure, staring blankly. In mere moments, the Kazekage Building was gone.
"Pakura-sama, come with me. Kazekage-sama is gathering everyone." a Suna-nin said.
"I understand."
