Chapter 86 Experimental Warfare

boom!

A black beam of light shot out from nearby and exploded in the center of a Sand Ninja team.

A monster with jet-black skin and four arms darted into the crowd in the next moment. Its sharp claws, like open blades, instantly destroyed the unprepared Sand Ninja squad's formation, causing a shower of blood.

Wind Release: Net!

The nearby Sand Ninja Jonin rapidly formed hand seals, unleashing his signature ninjutsu with almost no restraint.

An invisible wind wove itself into a net, completely enveloping the invading monster.

The large-scale net-like wind, infused with chakra, possesses the cutting properties unique to wind-style ninjutsu, while the net combines lethality and range, even exhibiting a certain degree of binding ability.

The wind-style ninjutsu cut deep marks into the monster's body, but in the next moment, these marks rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Roar!

The monster stood still and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves it created even shattered the ninjutsu net that was wrapped around it. Its huge claws tore the wind-escape net off its body as if it were ripping tattered clothes.

Wind Release: Chaotic Airflow!

Wind Release: Sand Barrage!

Wind Release: Wind Slice Technique!

……

One after another, wind-style ninjutsu attacks were unleashed on the monster on the nearby battlefield, densely engulfing it.

The swirling sandstorm completely obscured the area's view; with such a dense barrage of ninjutsu, the ground in that area was about to be blown down several meters.

"Is it resolved?" A nearby Sand Ninja asked, slightly out of breath, looking at the area that had been heavily bombarded.

"No! His vitality is still strong!" The sensory ninja in the team looked grim. The chakra that made him feel uncomfortable, eerie, and oppressive was still clearly visible in his senses, without weakening in the slightest, and even showing a tendency to increase!

Are we adding fuel to the fire?

"Retreat!" At the shout of the sensory ninja, the nearby Sand Ninja immediately retreated quickly.

However, even if the warning is given quickly enough, the enraged monster will act even faster.

Another black beam of light pierced through the dust-shrouded area. This time, it didn't disappear in a flash. Instead, it was like a solidified lightsaber, waving a fan shape across the battlefield!

Within the area touched by the beam of light, the Sand Ninja who were unable to dodge were completely engulfed by the beam and then evaporated without any resistance.

A semi-circular blank area was suddenly cleared out on the dense battlefield.

Then the beam of light hit the ground, creating a magnificent explosion.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

The Sand Ninja Jonin, who had used a substitution jutsu to dodge the beam of light, stood on the ground shaken by the explosion. Amidst the surging shockwave, he looked with lingering fear at the monster that had reappeared in the sandstorm.

The few genin and chunin who had survived by sheer luck were terrified, screaming that it was a monster as they desperately retreated.

"Damn it!"

In a certain area of ​​the battlefield, Rasa, who was fighting the Third Raikage, saw this scene through the Sand Eye in the sky and cursed inwardly.

The war has continued until now. Although the Sand Ninja have resisted the invasion of the Cloud Ninja forces led by the Third Raikage, they have also suffered heavy casualties.

Although Wind Release counters Lightning Release, the overall strength of the Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning is indeed far superior to that of the Sand Village at present.

Especially in terms of high-end combat power, the opponent had a clear advantage over Sunagakure. If it weren't for Konoha's help in holding back the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Jonin team led by Rui, even if he could hold back the Third Raikage, he wouldn't have been able to truly turn the tide.

The battle in Sunagakure has escalated to the point where even the village's children are being sent to the battlefield. The One-Tailed Jinchuriki is being treated as a last resort and has been forcibly brought to the battlefield, waiting for the moment when they can no longer hold on before unleashing the tailed beast to inflict mutual destruction.

Now, only Konoha and Iwagakure are still able to keep Rasa going. These two countries have helped Sunagakure relieve a considerable amount of pressure.

Especially when the Cloud Ninja forces suddenly turned their large forces around and headed to the border of the Land of Fire a while ago, giving off a tense atmosphere of wanting to start a war with Konoha, it made Rasa breathe a sigh of relief.

But unexpectedly, the Raikage suddenly launched a surprise attack.

"You little brat from the Sand Village, your opponent is me!" The Third Raikage, A, was enveloped in lightning as he leaped from the golden torrent of sand, charging towards Rasa once more as he roared.

Luo Sha quickly formed hand seals, then slapped his hands on the ground. Layers of golden sand began to surge like waves in front of him, gradually rising before cascading down from above.

Rumble!

The terrain of the battle was instantly covered and changed by the golden sand. The Third Raikage's charging figure was once again swept away by the large waves of golden sand, and he was pushed away from Rasa. Moreover, the weight of the golden sand also severely restricted his speed and straight-line sprint, which he was so proud of.

Magnetic Escape·Golden Burial!

Burying your opponent deep in gold dust and then creating a massive explosion can send them tumbling into a deep crater.

This is a ninjutsu that can restrict or even suppress tailed beasts!

The ground covered in golden sand shook violently, accompanied by a series of muffled explosions coming from deep underground, before finally returning to calm.

"Third Raikage, please stay underground for a while!"

With a sudden burst of energy, he temporarily suppressed the Third Raikage deep underground with heavy golden sand, and also breathed a sigh of relief.

Releasing such a wide-range ninjutsu so quickly must have taken a toll on him.

He knew very well that the Gold Dust Burial would probably not be enough to defeat the Third Raikage. In the many battles he had fought over the past year, he had witnessed the power of the opponent's Lightning Release Armor on numerous occasions.

As expected of the Third Raikage, who honed his body to the extreme and brought the Lightning Release Armor to an incredible level.

To master a low-rated ninjutsu to the point of near invulnerability and causing immense trouble demonstrates the opponent's strength.

Anyone else, once covered by his gold dust burial, would believe the battle was over. But with the Raikage, whose defense was unparalleled, he could only hope that he could take down the monster before it emerged from the depths of the earth.

A cloud of sand rose beneath his feet, lifting him up and suspending him in mid-air. Then, under his control, a staircase quickly took shape, formed from golden sand mixed with kunai and shuriken from the battlefield.

Luo Sha stepped onto the steps suspended in mid-air and sped towards the monster.

The Sand Eye, floating in mid-air, continued to provide him with a view of the battlefield surrounding him. He saw Yekura engaged in fierce combat with the new generation of the AB duo.

The battle between the three was so intense that even the Jonin found it difficult to get involved, and could only try to keep them occupied from a distance.

Magnetic Escape · Placer Gold Cube!

A giant golden cube, accompanied by an angry roar, plummeted from the sky, smashing directly into the monsters wreaking havoc among the Sand Ninja below.

Its enormous size and weight, combined with the inertia and kinetic energy of its fall, immediately caused the ground beneath the cube to tremble violently.

Seeing Rasa appear here and suppress the terrifying monster with a single move, the Sand Ninja around them were immediately invigorated.

"Is he dead?"

Seeing the area struck by the golden cube, the Sand Ninja around still looked shaken. It wasn't that they didn't believe in Rasa's strength, but rather that the monster's tenacious vitality had exceeded everyone's expectations.

Every time they thought he deserved to die, he would stubbornly heal all his wounds. Time and again, even the Jonin who had intervened were starting to despair.

"Watch out for Lord Rasa! He's immortal!" The surviving Sand Ninja shouted to Rasa, who was suspended in mid-air.

"Troublesome!"

Without needing any prompting, Rasa, who already realized that his attack had failed to take down his opponent, frowned.

A blinding black beam of light shot into the sky once more, blasting the golden cube into fragments. The battered and weakened monster lay on the ground, its dark, destructive, and savage eyes, visible through a white bone mask, fixed intently on Rasa, who was floating in mid-air.

"Are they keeping an eye on me?"

Luo Sha's eyes collided with the monster's in mid-air. He could clearly sense the extreme brutality and destructive desire in the monster's eyes, and it even affected him!

Aside from its power, this is a monster that is even more dangerous and impossible to communicate with than a tailed beast!

Luo Sha made his own assessment in his mind.

Magnetic Escape·Alluvial Gold Realm Method!

Just as the monster bent its knees, as if about to leap up and attack Rasa, Rasa struck first. He conserved his chakra and used the golden cubes that had been blasted and scattered around him.

Sharp spikes crisscrossed, piercing the monster.

It has very strong defense!

Rasa sensed the sluggishness and solidity of the sand-gold spikes against the opponent's skin, and made his estimation. In terms of defensive power alone, among the opponents he had fought, the monster's skin was second only to the Third Raikage's Thunder God Armor.

If it were at a different time or in a different place, he might have had the time to slowly prepare and study it, but right now, without knowing when the Third Raikage would be free, he had to race against time and finish the job quickly.

Sand gold sealing technique!

Layers upon layers of golden sand covered the monster's body, forming a magnificent golden cube that was covered with tadpole-shaped sealing runes that crisscrossed like chains, binding the cube together.

"Keep an eye on it!"

As the monster's struggles within the cube weakened and gradually subsided, Rasa breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, he had no more time to do anything, because on the other side, the Third Raikage's body had reappeared on the surface from underground.

After giving a hurried instruction, Rasa immediately flew towards the Third Raikage without stopping.

Rasa was completely overwhelmed by the Third Raikage's unbreakable Lightning Release armor. All he could do was team up with the Sand Village's Jonin to constantly put pressure on him, depleting his stamina and chakra.

However, the Third Raikage's stamina and chakra were also unexpectedly strong, which meant that every war between the Sand and Cloud Villages involving the Third Raikage often lasted for days.

It's true that Rasa's bloodline limit and ninjutsu counter the Cloud Ninja's ninjutsu and the Third Raikage's, but the energy consumption for him to activate his techniques is also greater than that of the Third Raikage!

His only hope now is that the reinforcements promised by Iwagakure will arrive as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this continues, the number of Sand Village's core ninja will be reduced to a level he cannot accept.

A day and a night later, the Cloud Ninja retreated again. But as they retreated, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki forcefully used the power of the Tailed Beast to snatch back the golden cube that sealed the monster.

……

The Cloud Ninja's camp.

The Third Raikage, having destroyed the sealed cube, watched in surprise as it dissolved into a cloud of golden sand, revealing a lifeless monster inside.

"Is there still any trace of the body left this time?"

Looking at the tattered monster's body, the Third Raikage knew from the experiments he had conducted over the past few days that once a monster transformed by the mask was sealed away, it would become an extremely unstable bomb.

Surprisingly, the monster's explosion failed to break the cube's seal.

Killer Bee stepped forward and used his sword to pry the mask off the monster's face. A face wearing a Sand Ninja headband was exposed to everyone, and then, under everyone's gaze, the ninja, now without the mask, quickly turned into ashes.

"A mere Chunin can threaten a team with Jonin members, even forcing Rasa to personally intervene. The power of this mask is beyond comprehension." The Third Raikage, A, gripped the black and white mask, lost in thought.

After experimenting and discovering that the mask could transform ninjas into powerful monsters, Ai orchestrated this war.

very useful.

The monsters transformed from the masks, though lacking any sense of friend or foe and extremely chaotic and brutal, can indeed play a significant role on the battlefield if used properly.

At the very least, they could hold off a Kage, or even a renowned elite Jonin-level enemy, for the Cloud Ninja. And even among the Five Great Ninja Villages, there are very few people with this kind of strength.

He had even tried to fight the monster in close combat. The monster, with its steel skin and high-speed regeneration, was able to fight him back and forth. Although he was mostly being beaten, the fact that it could withstand his punches and Hell Spikes as a punching bag was enough to prove its strength.

For other ninjas, being approached by such a fast-moving and highly defensive monster is a nightmare!

Furthermore, the mask itself has the property of absorbing chakra, a characteristic that gives the monster's steel-like exterior resistance to ninjutsu.

It's virtually impossible for ordinary ninjutsu to penetrate the steel-like defense. This means that ordinary ninjas have no way to break through the monster's defenses.

The thought that this technology was developed by Konoha deepened Ai's apprehension towards Konoha.

However, once the technology is cracked, the Cloud Ninja can also manufacture similar weapons.
