Rasa VS Minato

"The Yellow Flash of Konoha, in the face of my magnetic element, you're nothing more than that."

Rasa flew in the air, crossing his arms and speaking proudly.

At the same time, the golden shield in front of him blocked the kunai.

Minato did not use [Hiraishin no Jutsu] to teleport in front of Rasa.

Because Rasa had set up a trap, and beneath the golden shield were spikes made from concentrated placer gold.

There was no doubt that if Minato appeared, the sharp golden spikes below would instantly extend and turn him into a hedgehog.

Minato hesitated before throwing another kunai to the side.

Rasa quickly raised his hand, and the golden sand shield swiftly expanded to the side, blocking the kunai.

At the same time, he controlled the placer gold and continued his attack. The placer gold surged layer upon layer, forming overlapping attacks.

Once hit by such hard and heavy placer gold, human flesh and blood would never be able to withstand it, even ninjas were no exception.

After all, most ninjas have high attack but low defense.

Minato retreated continuously. Even without using [Hiraishin no Jutsu], his speed was clearly the best in the ninja world.

So he could easily avoid the waves of placer gold.

Rasa took advantage of the cloud to pursue, and the attack continued.

Minato appeared very calm in the face of Rasa's aggressive attack. While dodging, he also thought about how to break it.

He noticed several kunai mixed in with the gold dust.

All these kunai were embedded with placer gold, and controlled by Rasa and mixed into the waves of placer gold.

Therefore, these kunai could not be used.

If he used [Hiraishin no Jutsu] recklessly, the result would be the same.

'The magnetic element of Sunagakure Village is really powerful...'

In his heart, Minato greatly admired Rasa's mastery of the magnetic element and the Second Kazekage who discovered the magnetic element.

He felt that he and Rasa were somewhat similar.

First, their ages were similar; Rasa was only a few years older than him, but they were still young.

Second, both were the pillars of their respective villages. Rasa succeeded the Kazekage shortly after the disappearance of the Third Kazekage. Although Minato had not yet inherited the position of Hokage, he had always been regarded as the successor by the Third Hokage.

Lastly, in terms of the techniques mastered, Rasa's magnetic element came from the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure Village, and Minato's [Hiraishin no Jutsu] came from the Second Hokage of Konoha Village.

At this moment, Rasa on the opposite side seemed to have thought of this and said, "It's said that your [Hiraishin no Jutsu] comes from the Second Hokage in your village?"

"Yes, it was the genius creation of Tobirama-sama."

Minato nodded and confirmed Rasa's statement.

"The Second Hokage created many forbidden Jutsu in his life. I'm not very talented, and the only one I mastered is [Hiraishin no Jutsu]."

He also humbly elevated the reputation of Senju Tobirama above himself.

This was in line with Minato's humble and gentle character, but what he said was not necessarily false. Even though he was very talented, he was not as good as Tobirama in inventing forbidden techniques.

However, in terms of [Hiraishin no Jutsu] achievements, Minato had already surpassed the creator of the technique.

"The Second Hokage, the strongest ninja in the world... Haha, the so-called strongest ninja in the world was finally killed by two rebel ninjas in Kumogakure."

Rasa looked down at Minato from above the sky, his eyes arrogant like his tone.

"You are no exception. The Yellow Flash of Konoha, Kikyo Mountain will be your burial ground!"

Rasa suddenly attacked before he finished speaking, creating countless sharp gold spikes like bamboo shoots to attack Minato from all directions.

Minato repeatedly dodged, moving in and out of the constantly growing and extending golden spikes.

Fortunately, his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he was still able to cope with the golden spikes stabbing at him from all directions.

Minato dodged and retreated, while Rasa advanced step by step on the golden cloud.

Rasa continued to wave his hands forward, turning the chakra in his body into magnetic force to control the countless fine and heavy gold in front of him.

The placer gold continuously formed placer gold limit methods one after another, continuously attacking the water gate.

Minato tried to use [Hiraishin no Jutsu] to escape, but Rasa was already prepared and used the magnetic element to interfere with the flying direction of the kunai.

None of the several kunai thrown by Minato survived, and they all fell into the sea of golden sand.

Seeing Minato at his wit's end, Rasa launched a more aggressive attack.

Finally, Minato got injured.

As he was thrown and turned around, a placer gold spike pierced his cheek. Minato reacted immediately and used his left hand to grab the side of the placer spike to avoid it.

However, small spikes suddenly protruded from the side of the golden placer spike and pierced his palm.

His blood was very conspicuous on the placer gold, slowly dripping to the ground.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and escaped without letting the placer gold cause more damage.

He retreated a few steps, took out a potion from his ninja bag, and drank it.

It was a universal antidote of Sunagakure developed by Tsunade, which could detoxify most poisons in Sunagakure.

This antidote was quite rare, even he could only get a little.

Rasa controlled the ball of placer gold that had just injured Minato to float in front of him and said with a sneer: "Don't worry, I didn't bother using poison, my placer gold is enough to kill you."

With his arrogant character, he wasn't lying.

As a Magnet Ninja studying under the Third Kazekage, Rasa took pride in Magnet Ninja, so of course, he didn't bother using poison from the Puppet Master lineage.

The Second Kazekage was the first Sunagakure ninja to master both the magnetic element and puppetry, and also the last.

The Third Kazekage inherited the magnetic element and used it to become the strongest Kazekage in history.

Monzaemon inherited the puppet skills of the Third Kazekage, and as the first ninja to call himself a puppet master, he earned the title of First Puppet Master.

The two factions were independent and had their own pride.

As a disciple of the strongest Kazekage in history, Rasa always regarded puppet masters and poison techniques as cheap skills.

What he admired was the magnetic element, and he somewhat despised the puppetry technique. After all, ordinary puppets would essentially be crippled when hit by the magnetic element.

But while Rasa was immersed in the pride of having injured Minato, Minato suddenly changed his previous passiveness and began to take the initiative to attack.

"[Fūton: Kazekiri no Jutsu]."

His seal released a giant sharp wind blade.

In fact, Minato learned [Hiraishin no Jutsu] only after he became a Jonin.

Previously, he relied on [Shunshin no Jutsu] and elemental ninjutsu.

The wind blade quickly pierced the placer gold in front of Minato, cutting countless placer gold spikes and heading straight for Rasa.

Rasa was shocked, "Wind Release of this level...how is it possible!"

"Even Sunagakure Village doesn't have such a strong Wind Release ninja!"

"I'm afraid the only one who can compare is the First Kazekage!"

Rasa's placer gold was easily cut through. Fortunately, there was a placer gold ball in front of him, and he compressed it into a solid cube.

*SWISH*

The wind blade cut the placer gold cube in front of him at high speed, making a sharp sound.

The wind blade cut through the placer gold cube, but its momentum was also exhausted.

Rasa sighed in relief when he saw this.

He did not realize that a rune similar to a kunai had appeared on the section of the placer gold cube.

In an instant, a sudden change occurred, and Minato appeared in front of Rasa, right within the placer gold cube.

"[Rasengan]!"

Rasa did not react at all, but the placer gold cube was thrown into his face with Minato's foot, and [Rasengan] hit the center of his chest.

Rasa was instantly thrown by the huge impact of [Rasengan], flying backward directly from the placer gold cloud, spitting blood.

"Fortunately, I prepared the placer gold armor in advance..."

Rasa had just landed and was still feeling scared. When he looked down, he found that there was also a [Hiraishin no Jutsu] mark on the golden armor on his chest.

"Not good!"

*WHOOSH*

Minato held a kunai, and the light green Wind Element Chakra clung to the kunai.

The slash penetrated Rasa's placer gold defense. In an instant, his chest exploded with a bloom of blood, and blood splattered.

"Namikaze... Minato!!!"
