Because of Suna's environnt, they had the fewest shinobi skilled in Water Release, but that did not an they had none.
At this ti, they were all following Rasa to put out the fire and rescue people.
Natsuki spotted them at once.
As for Pakura, she was leading a group of elite Jonin to stop Tsunade, Hyuga Hizashi, and the others.
Just as Natsuki locked onto a Water Release Jonin, the nearby Suna shinobi noticed him.
Two Suna shinobi ford hand signs with both hands and spat out a large number of wind blades.
Under their shocked gazes, Natsuki threw out two Kurosawa.
The instant Kurosawa collided with the wind blades, they imdiately exploded.
All the wind blades were swept into the explosion and shattered into fragnts.
"You're Natsuki?"
The two Suna shinobi cried out at the sa ti.
"It seems I'm already quite famous."
Natsuki chuckled softly, then used Soru to appear in front of the Suna shinobi on the left.
His pupils shrank, and his expression changed drastically, but it was already too late to form hand signs.
Because Natsuki was too fast.
At the mont of life and death, he instinctively drew the ninja blade at his waist and swung it out.
Armant Haki!
Natsuki caught his ninja blade with his left hand, while the index finger of his right hand stabbed toward his forehead.
Shigan!
An invisible blade pierced through his head.
Blood splattered everywhere.
He fell with an expression of disbelief.
"What kind of ninjutsu is that?"
The Suna shinobi on the right could not help but widen his eyes.
Shinobi seeing Armant Haki for the first ti would all find it difficult to understand.
Because in a shinobi's common sense, only Earth Release defensive ninjutsu could strengthen the body's defense.
Other nature transformations usually defended from the front, such as Water Release. The most classic defensive ninjutsu was Water Release: Water Formation Wall.
Its effect was to create a wall of water in front of the user or around them.
Earth Release defensive ninjutsu were sowhat different.
It had Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, which was similar to Water Release: Water Formation Wall, and it also had Earth Release: Earth Spear and Earth Release: Hardening Technique, which were similar to Armant Haki.
Their effect was to strengthen the user's own body and increase defense.
But their features were very obvious. The skin would turn black, or take on an earthy color.
That was different from Armant Haki.
Soru!
Naturally, Natsuki did not explain it to him. With a flash, he arrived in front of him.
The Suna shinobi hurriedly ford hand signs with both hands, and a huge wind blade stabbed out like a ninja blade.
With a clang, Natsuki repeated the sa thod. He reinforced his left hand with Armant Haki and grabbed the wind blade.
At the sa ti, his right hand gripped the projected Kurosawa.
One Sword Style, Lion Strike!
A slash from top to bottom cut the Suna shinobi in half.
Blood sprayed out, and his corpse fell to the ground.
After dealing with the two Suna shinobi, Natsuki imdiately used Shadow Assassin.
His body turned into a shadow and headed toward the Water Release Jonin he had locked onto.
This was actually very risky.
After all, this Water Release Jonin was in the team led by Rasa.
However, he was skilled and bold.
On top of that, it would be easy for Tsunade and the others to support him.
After Natsuki arrived behind him, he released Shadow Assassin.
He leaped up, and the index finger of his right hand stabbed toward the man's back.
Although taijutsu users were not highly valued in the shinobi world, high-level taijutsu was indeed more useful than ninjutsu in close combat.
However, the high-level taijutsu in the shinobi world was far too advanced, such as the Eight Gates and Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
Most shinobi did not have Natsuki's conditions.
As expected of a Jonin, the Suna Water Release Jonin imdiately sensed sothing was wrong.
He imdiately used the Body Flicker Technique.
Cracks appeared in the ground beneath his feet, and he vanished from where he stood at extrely high speed.
Natsuki had already been ntally prepared for him to dodge.
In an instant, he chased after him.
His Soru was faster than the Water Release Jonin's Body Flicker Technique.
In the next second, his index finger struck him.
A scream rang out.
The Water Release Jonin felt as if his back had been pierced through.
But he did not die imdiately.
He turned around and ford hand signs at the fastest speed, and a stream of water slamd toward Natsuki.
Double Circular Slash!
Natsuki put strength into both arms, and the two Kurosawa crossed, smashing the water stream apart and cutting off the Water Release Jonin's head.
But the Water Release Jonin's earlier scream had already been heard by the nearby Suna shinobi.
Rasa and the others instinctively looked toward Natsuki.
Their first reaction was, when had he appeared? He was simply too daring.
One had to know that this team was made up entirely of Suna Jonin, gathered together to put out the fire and rescue people.
But to kill the Water Release Jonin, Natsuki had essentially charged in alone.
"It's Natsuki!"
A Suna shinobi recognized him.
After all, ever since Suna and Konoha began fighting, Natsuki had been especially active.
In particular, his extrely long-range archery had given them endless headaches.
"Kill him!"
Rasa's expression sank as he spoke.
But he did not personally take action.
First, there were enough Suna Jonin here.
Second, he needed to put out the fire and rescue people.
Because his Magnet Release had many uses, it was even more suitable than Water Release for putting out fires and saving people.
In particular, his Magnet Release: Sand Cushion could be used for aerial transport and carry the injured Suna shinobi away.
In an instant, Natsuki felt a suffocating pressure.
A large number of ninjutsu swept toward him like a violent storm.
Natsuki imdiately opened a storage summoning scroll.
Ever since he unlocked true Projection Magecraft, the ninja tools he projected could exist for a long ti.
Although Shadow Space had a limited weight capacity, storing a few storage summoning scrolls was not a problem.
He threw out a pile of swords and blades.
Broken Phantasm!
All the swords and blades suddenly trembled, then instantly shattered and exploded.
Countless fragnts scattered in every direction along with the chakra currents.
They quickly collided with the oncoming ninjutsu, then exploded again.
The ground suddenly cracked and sank downward.
In the blink of an eye, a huge crater appeared at the center of the explosion.
However, this explosion was ultimately caused by a collision. It was not like the earlier explosive tag detonation, which had caused Suna massive casualties.
"Fall back!"
The Suna Jonin witnessed the sudden explosion and cried out one after another.
Natsuki locked onto his next target again, a Lightning Release Jonin.
Before the explosion had completely dispersed, he imdiately ford hand signs with both hands.
Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique!
Thick mist quickly spread.
But Suna had the most Wind Release shinobi.
The mont the thick mist appeared, many Wind Release shinobi imdiately ford hand signs.
The mist lasted for less than a second before it was blown away completely.
But for Natsuki, that was already enough.
He turned into smoke and arrived behind the Lightning Release Jonin.
After the mist was blown away, he returned to his body and took out two Kurosawa.
Starburst Stream!
The two Kurosawa slashed out horizontally.
"Don't even think about it!"
The first to react was not the Lightning Release Jonin, but his teammate.
He drew the ninja blade on his back and slashed toward Natsuki.
Natsuki turned his right wrist, and Kurosawa struck out in a spinning slash.
"What?"
His arms went numb, and his entire body retreated.
Starburst Stream had a total of sixteen consecutive strikes, and that spinning slash just now was the third strike.
It was precisely because of this that he could force back the Lightning Release Jonin's teammate with one slash.
After all, Starburst Stream was an A-rank sword technique.
"Damn it!"
The Lightning Release Jonin was both shocked and furious.
But Lightning Release had always been known for speed.
In addition, his teammate had helped block one strike for him, giving him ti to react.
He opened his mouth and spat out a dazzling bolt of lightning.
The lightning flashed like electricity and headed toward Natsuki's head.
Natsuki's expression did not change. He crossed the two Kurosawa and slashed out, directly splitting the lightning in two.
After that, he imdiately used the next strike, a crossed upward slash.
The two Kurosawa moved from top to bottom, intending to cut the Lightning Release Jonin's head in half.
"Die!"
At the critical mont, another Suna Jonin stabbed toward Natsuki with a ninja blade.
If Natsuki did not defend, he would die together with the Lightning Release Jonin.
Natsuki's expression did not change. His left hand instantly reversed its grip on the sword and cut downward in a thrusting slash.
With a clang, the ninja blade was blocked.
At the sa ti, the Lightning Release Jonin let out a scream.
Although one Kurosawa had been missing from the attack, the other Kurosawa still wounded him.
A bloody mark appeared across his chest.
If not for his quick reaction and slight dodge, that bloody mark would have appeared on his neck.
But he still did not survive.
In the span of a breath, Starburst Stream was fully completed.
Aside from the two Suna Jonin who reacted especially quickly and ca to rescue him, the other Suna Jonin all froze for an instant.
After all, this scene was too brutal.
Natsuki had not only charged into their team alone, but had also killed two Jonin in an extrely short ti.
If word of this spread, who would believe it?
But what followed was anger born from humiliation.
Natsuki had killed two of their teammates right in front of them. As Jonin, how could they endure it?
The Wind Release shinobi were the first to act.
Dense winds turned into the sharpest blades and blew toward Natsuki.
Fortunately, Natsuki also had teammates.
"Natsuki, move!"
Kosuke's voice rang out.
Natsuki used White Blow without hesitation, using smoke to fly into the air.
Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!
The sound of sothing cutting through the air rang out.
A shuriken suddenly trembled in midair, then turned into countless shuriken.
This was what made Kosuke legendary.
He had not only learned Water Release from the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, but had also learned the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique from the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Countless shuriken fell like rain.
In an instant, the wind blades were knocked away one after another.
"Natsuki, I'm here!"
Nawaki ford hand signs with both hands, and a huge water dragon flew out.
Taking advantage of the wind blades being blocked by the shuriken, the water dragon turned and rushed into Suna's shinobi.
But the water dragon did not cause any effective damage.
A Suna Jonin raised both hands, and a wind blade flew out.
This wind blade was different from the previous wind blades. It spun rapidly, swallowing the water dragon like a vortex.
The water dragon was torn apart, and water splashed everywhere.
But even with Kosuke and Nawaki joining in, the danger Natsuki faced did not decrease.
The ground split open, and two puppets attacked him.
A cracking sound rang out.
A hole opened in the chest of one puppet, revealing a huge needle tube.
Countless senbon shot out at high speed.
The other puppet swung its chains, and two chains wrapped toward Natsuki.
Water Breathing, Third Form, Flowing Dance!
Natsuki's body swayed, and Kurosawa in his hand swung out fiercely.
Two clangs rang out.
The two chains were knocked aside.
Before the senbon could reach him, Natsuki's body turned directly into smoke.
The senbon sank into the smoke and caused no damage. They passed through one after another and fell to the ground.
"What kind of ninjutsu is that?"
Seeing this, many Suna shinobi were shocked.
But they were all experts who had experienced blood and fire. In an instant, they launched another attack.
Dazzling lightning spread out.
The lightning landed and moved toward the smoke Natsuki had turned into.
Natsuki imdiately restored his body.
Doll, X Formation!
Five dolls appeared and ford a high-intensity defensive barrier.
The lightning was imdiately blocked.
Natsuki put strength into both arms and threw out four Swords of the Thunder God.
"Dodge!"
When one of the Suna Jonin saw this, he hurriedly warned, "Watch out, those swords can explode!"
The Suna shinobi moved away from the Swords of the Thunder God one after another.
The four Swords of the Thunder God exploded, but they had no effect.
Natsuki could not help but shake his head.
A shinobi battle was a battle of intelligence. That saying truly carried weight.
He had used Broken Phantasm too many tis, so Suna's shinobi had long since learned about it.
Soru!
Natsuki disappeared from where he stood.
The Suna shinobi instinctively looked around.
In the next second, Natsuki appeared above their heads.
Poison Cloud's Dwelling!
He stretched out both hands.
The liquid poison imdiately evaporated, turning into a large amount of poison cloud that quickly scattered.
The nearest Suna shinobi had never expected him to use poison and touched the poison cloud at once.
In the next second, he scread.
Smoke rose from his clothes and skin. It was scorched black smoke caused by corrosion.
"It's poison!"
The Suna shinobi hurriedly retreated and imdiately took ordinary antidotes.
But clearly, ordinary antidotes could not neutralize the poison from the Gordon Template.
Quite a few people were corroded because of it.
But that was all.
They soon discovered that the poison cloud only had a corrosive effect, and its power was at most equivalent to a B-rank ninjutsu.
"Bastard!"
A Suna Jonin quickly arrived in front of him.
Natsuki gripped Kurosawa without hesitation.
Water Breathing, First Form, Water Surface Slash!
Kurosawa swung out, and a stream of water struck the Suna Jonin.
But unexpectedly, it had no effect at all. Only a crisp sound rang out.
Natsuki imdiately reacted.
This was a puppet master.
The real him was hiding inside the puppet.
Just then, the puppet master raised both arms.
Dense blades extended out and spun as they attacked Natsuki from the left and right.
The other Suna shinobi did not stay idle either. They ford hand signs one after another.
Water Release: Water Formation Wall!
Kosuke and Nawaki ford hand signs at the sa ti.
Two water walls blocked in front of Natsuki.
But this could only block the attacks from one side.
At that mont, a figure appeared.
Heavenly Foot of Pain!
Nonō tightened her small face and stomped down.
A trendous force tore through the ground, and web-like cracks spread rapidly.
Countless pieces of rubble scattered in every direction.
However, this level of attack was not difficult for the Suna shinobi to deal with.
After all, the one using monstrous strength was not Tsunade, but Nonō.
Fortunately, she still blocked quite a few attacks for Natsuki.
Armant Haki!
Facing the puppet master's blades, Natsuki did not dodge or evade. He leaped up directly.
Water Breathing, Tenth Form, Constant Flux!
He unleashed several rotating slashes in an instant.
The nearby rainwater was drawn in and turned into a water dragon descending from the sky.
With a crack, the puppet broke apart.
The puppet master inside opened his mouth, then lost his breath.
Because Kurosawa had left several bone-deep bloody wounds on his body.
Without even looking at him, Natsuki imdiately raised his hand.
Violet Umbrella!
A liquid barrier unfolded in front of Nonō.
As a dical-nin, she should not have gone deep into the front line, but when she saw Natsuki fall into danger, she chose to act.
Just as Natsuki was about to send her away, his brow suddenly rose.
Because the battle cries in the distance suddenly beca intense.
The Suna shinobi instinctively looked over, and their hearts could not help but tremble.
Because several hundred Konoha shinobi had appeared behind Suna's forces.
Suna, already at a disadvantage, now had no chance of victory.
Most importantly, those several hundred Konoha shinobi had blocked their path of retreat.
Rasa also noticed Konoha's sudden reinforcents.
After thinking carefully, he understood. This was the group of shinobi Hatake Sakumo had taken away.
Rasa's heart sank.
After hesitating for a mont, he decided to give up putting out the fire and rescuing people.
Because if they continued rescuing them, all of Suna's shinobi would die here.
The most urgent priority now was to retreat.
"You retreat. I'll kill him."
Rasa's body flashed, and he arrived in front of Natsuki.
Natsuki's performance just now had even surprised him.
He was no ordinary Jonin.
Although Suna had more Jonin, killing him would definitely co at a considerable price.
Now that Suna was deep in a disadvantageous situation, every Jonin was extrely valuable.
Rasa did not want to sacrifice more Jonin because of Natsuki.
"Yes, Rasa-sama!"
When the Suna Jonin heard this, they imdiately organized the other shinobi and began retreating.
As for Natsuki, he was dead for sure.
They knew Rasa's strength very well, especially since he had mastered the powerful kekkei genkai, Magnet Release.
Natsuki raised an eyebrow and t Rasa's gaze.
[Congratulations, host. Nami Template Ability Five, Weather Arts, has been unlocked.]
The system notification sounded.
Unfortunately, the Sorcery Clima-Tact had not been crafted yet, or Weather Arts could have been used right now.
But he did not have the ti to think too much about it.
Because he had encountered the strongest enemy since becoming a shinobi.
Rasa, the future Fourth Kazekage of Suna, and the father of the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara.
In the original story, his death had been rather abrupt. He was assassinated by Orochimaru.
But that did not an his strength was weak.
After all, he possessed Magnet Release.
The previous person to possess Magnet Release was the Third Kazekage, who had been known as the strongest Kazekage.
Moreover, the original story ntioned that Rasa used Magnet Release many tis to suppress the One-Tail, Shukaku.
He was an unquestionable Kage-level expert.
But the current him was still young, after all, so his strength was sowhat weaker than his original-story self.
Even so, for Natsuki, he was still an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.
Kirigaya Kazuto Template Ability Five, The Eclipse, required defeating a battlefield commander to unlock.
Chiyo had not co, so Rasa and Pakura were undoubtedly the battlefield commanders and could satisfy the condition.
Aside from that, defeating Rasa would most likely trigger a new character template.
After all, he was strong and famous.
Natsuki had already gained a rough understanding of the system's pattern for triggering character templates.
Soone like Rasa had a ninety-nine percent chance of triggering a character template.
(To be continued.)
