Chapter 38: To Kill You

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: To Kill You

Uchiha Xuan leaped down from Charizard’s back, the crimson in his eyes flickering as he gazed at the sand fortress on the ground. In an instant, lightning erupted from his hand.

Chidori!

The flames receded, and the sand fortress crumbled, revealing Rasa’s figure.

A flash of lightning streaked across as Uchiha Xuan appeared behind Rasa in the blink of an eye, thrusting out an attack.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed as the Chidori’s strike was solidly blocked by a thick layer of gold dust, leaving only a small hole.

At the same time, a massive gold dust hand suddenly emerged from the ground beneath Uchiha Xuan, grabbing fiercely at his leg.

However, a claw mark flashed through the air, scattering the formed gold dust instantly.

It was Charizard’s attack.

With his first strike unsuccessful, Uchiha Xuan swiftly retreated, the lightning in his hand dissipating as Narukami was drawn!

Electric arcs danced across his body, and Uchiha Xuan’s speed surged dramatically.

Rasa’s gold dust was thick and heavy, making his movements relatively slow. Thus, Uchiha Xuan immediately recalled Rock Lee’s tactics against Gaara.

Rely on high mobility to find openings!

Once the strategy was set, Uchiha Xuan wasted no time implementing it. Lightning enveloped his entire body as he continuously swung Narukami.

Amidst flashes of sparks, chunks of gold dust were sliced apart and reformed again and again. Beside him, Charizard occasionally thrust out Dragon Claw, attacking from different directions alongside Uchiha Xuan.

Yet, faced with Uchiha Xuan’s extremely high-frequency assaults, Rasa defended as tightly as a turtle, impenetrable, while occasionally thrusting gold dust spears toward Uchiha Xuan.

"Young brat of the Uchiha clan, at your age, you shouldn’t possess these eyes. You... cannot be allowed to live."

While blocking Uchiha Xuan’s attacks, Rasa simultaneously manipulated the gold dust to sweep toward the Konohagakure camp. Upon seeing the crimson in Uchiha Xuan’s eyes, he immediately closed his own and formed a sand-constructed eye to speak coldly.

Because of the clan emblem on Uchiha Xuan’s attire, Rasa naturally knew his identity. Thus, from the very beginning, he had avoided looking directly into Uchiha Xuan’s eyes—a ninja’s caution.

However, in Rasa’s mind, he didn’t believe Uchiha Xuan would have awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which could pose a threat to him. He didn’t even think Uchiha Xuan had activated the Sharingan at all. Yet, the red glow in Uchiha Xuan’s eyes made him realize that this young man before him had indeed awakened the Sharingan. As for how many tomoe it had, he dared not look closely.

Never look into an Uchiha’s eyes during battle—this was a consensus among all ninjas in the Ninja World.

"Magnet Release: Gold Sand Shuriken!"

With those words, Rasa formed hand seals. The flowing sand around him rapidly merged with gold dust, transforming into spinning shuriken that shot toward Uchiha Xuan and Charizard.

"Flame Slash!"

Facing countless gold sand shuriken, Uchiha Xuan sidestepped and raised his hand, clenching it. Several fiery slashes instantly shattered all the gold sand shuriken.

Although Flame Slash wasn’t highly damaging, it was excellent for deflecting projectiles like shuriken.

"Hmph, all flash and no substance. After such a prolonged battle, how much Chakra do you have left? But... to ensure you stay here for good—Magnet Release: Gold Dust World Boundary!"

Seeing his attack blocked, Rasa snorted coldly and formed hand seals once more. The surrounding gold dust instantly formed a massive hundred-meter barrier.

The moment the barrier took shape, countless gold dust spears shot up from the ground around Uchiha Xuan like bamboo shoots, stabbing toward both him and the "dragon."

Gazing at Rasa, Uchiha Xuan looked up at the sky with an icy expression. Thanks to Charizard’s continuous fire-breathing into the sky, thick dark clouds had begun to gather overhead.

The gold dust spears shot out with incredible speed, leaving Uchiha Xuan little room to dodge. He could only use Body Flicker to appear on Charizard’s back.

"Charizard, Smokescreen followed by Rock Tomb!"

The moment he landed on Charizard’s back, Uchiha Xuan quickly gave the command.

"Roar!"

Obeying the order, Charizard opened its mouth and spewed thick smoke that instantly filled the entire barrier. After that, it raised its claws, and several illusory boulders materialized and were hurled toward Rasa.

Crackle!

As Charizard acted, lightning flickered once more in Uchiha Xuan’s hands.

The commotion from Uchiha Xuan’s battle was immense. After evading the waves of gold dust stirred up by Rasa, all the ninjas in safe positions turned their attention to the scene.

Among them were Konohagakure ninjas who wanted to support Uchiha Xuan. However, Rasa’s Gold Dust World Boundary not only aimed to trap and kill Uchiha Xuan but also to hinder Konohagakure ninjas from coming to his aid.

Uchiha Xuan’s age alarmed Rasa. Thus, the moment he confirmed the boy’s terrifying talent, Rasa abandoned his control over the gold dust assaulting the Konohagakure positions and focused entirely on eliminating Uchiha Xuan.

Outside the Gold Dust World Boundary, Uchiha Ganghuo’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan gleamed with a fierce red light. His fingers continuously formed hand seals as he unleashed one Fire Style technique after another, bombarding the gold dust.

However, Rasa, fully intent on killing Uchiha Xuan, had diverted all the gold dust originally meant to advance on the Konohagakure positions to reinforce the Gold Dust World Boundary. For the moment, even the powerful Uchiha Ganghuo couldn’t break through the barrier’s defenses.

"Break it open!!"

Behind Uchiha Ganghuo, Tsunade, having recovered some of her Chakra, shouted angrily, her face filled with rage. She charged forward and slammed a fist into the gold dust barrier.

Boom!!

A dull roar echoed as the gold dust shattered and scattered, only to slowly repair itself. Seeing this, Tsunade threw punch after punch.

"Lady Tsunade, your Chakra... let me handle this."

Uchiha Ganghuo, standing nearby, spoke with concern. Because of Uchiha Xuan, he also held respect for Tsunade.

He knew that Tsunade had just used that large-scale healing ninjutsu. Even with her Senju lineage, her Chakra reserves couldn’t withstand this, could they?

"Your Fire Style is too slow at breaking the barrier. Damn it! Is that Magnet Release ninja from Sunagakure insane? Kid, hold on! I’m coming to save you. Damn it, why is there so much gold dust?"

Without looking back, Tsunade continued to punch the gold dust barrier, blow after blow.

...

"Your smoke is of no use here. In this place full of sand, I can see everything clearly. You should feel fortunate, kid. To kill you, I have mobilized all my gold sand—this was originally prepared for your entire Konohagakure ninja force."

Within the smoke screen, Rasa spoke in a low voice with his eyes closed. Beside him, two floating eyeballs hovered quietly.
