Chapter 75

"Magnet Style: Golden Sand Tsunami!"

A low voice echoed as huge amounts of golden sand gushed out from the ground in an instant, halting the meteorite in the sky.

"This is Rasa's Sand Manipulation Ninjutsu," Chiyo sighed in relief.

In today's Sunagakure, the third Kazekage is missing, and the fourth Kazekage is now a choice between Pakura and Rasa.

Earlier, Pakura led the army to Kirigakure, which left Rasa dissatisfied. He believed that war brought merit, and he wanted to prove himself like the renowned hero, Pakura, in Sunagakure. However, Rasa's reputation still paled in comparison to Pakura's.

Nevertheless, with Sunagakure facing a crisis, Rasa stepped up.

"That's great! It's Rasa!"

"We're saved!"

With Rasa's appearance, the golden sand in the sky transformed into large hands attempting to stop the rushing meteorite, leading to ecstatic cheers from the rescued Sand Shinobi.

Flying in the air using Sand Ninjutsu, Rasa showed a smile. His purpose was achieved; he had arrived and left a deep impression on the shinobi of Suna.

But Rasa knew that his chances of becoming the Kazekage were slim, given Pakura's fame and strength, whom he considered stronger. He needed an opportunity to enhance his standing to the top.

However, when the village offered Pakura the chance to go to Kirigakure, Rasa decided to wait for the right moment. Now, with the meteorite stopping by himself, Rasa was satisfied with his decision.

Looking in Ryan's direction, Rasa even felt grateful to the Fourth Hokage. He believed that he would befriend Ryan when he became the Kazekage.

Confused by Rasa's elation, Ryan couldn't help but ask why he was so happy."Did you block this one? But what are you going to do about the second one."

Ryan's question caused Rasa's expression to change instantly as he hastily looked towards the sky. To their surprise, an even bigger meteorite appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"This can't be real! Can humans really do this?"

"It's over! Sunagakure is doomed!"

For a moment, all the Sand Shinobi seemed to lose hope, falling to their knees in despair. The second meteorite's appearance made Chiyo give up, realizing that Sunagakure was in grave danger.

However, Rasa stood up again, his face now filled with madness and excitement.

"Hahahaha! That's it!"

"Only by facing greater danger can I prove my worth!"

"Only then can I sit in the Kazekage's seat successfully!"

<HE was insane that's a fact.>

In Rasa's view, the two giant meteorites could be resisted. He believed he could save Sunagakure, becoming a hero greater than Pakura.

"Magnet Style Gold Dust!"

As Rasa descended from the sky, he poured magnet-style chakra into the desert, causing countless pieces of placer gold to gush out, covering the earth.

Rasa controlled the placer gold to form giant hands made of gold dust, attempting to meet the falling meteorite. The first meteorite, already halted, became a stepping stone, and the second meteorite continued to descend.

Realizing that everything he had done could be in vain if the second meteorite collided with the first, Rasa looked at the black tea kettle in his arms. His chakra was fading, and he needed help.

"Shukaku! Help me this time! After this, I will set you free!"

But the being inside the black tea kettle didn't trust him.

"Hehe, you humans are really cunning, for you we are just a source of power. I am a tailed beast even if this meteor falls on top of me. I will just regenerate."

It taunted Rasa about the consequences of the meteorite falling. Unfazed, Rasa threatened to seal the tea kettle forever in the desert, claiming he had the power to do so.

"And even if I don't seal you, do you think Konoha's group of fellows, who even dealt with the Nine-Tails, will let you go?"

Hearing Rasa's words, Shukaku in the black tea kettle fell silent for an instant. After a long pause, Shukaku finally spoke, "Hmph! Remember the conditions you promised!"

Seeing that the shukaku agreed, Rasa felt delighted. He quickly opened the black tea kettle and released Shukaku inside, causing countless grains of sand to condense until a raccoon dog covered in curse patterns appeared on the battlefield.

"Ahahahaha!!! I am finally out!" Shukaku roared, terrorizing everyone in Sunagakure. No one expected Shukaku to break the seal and emerge at this critical moment.

Just when the Sand Shinobi were losing hope, Shukaku surprisingly controlled countless mounds of sand and Luosha to block the meteorite falling from the sky.

"Um?"

"One tail, is it helping us intercept meteorites?"

"It seems like it!"

"My God, did I see it right?"

"Could it be that Rasa subdued the one tails?"

The Sand Shinobi were overjoyed and cheered for Rasa when they witnessed the Shukaku's assistance in blocking the meteorites. Rasa's face lit up with a smile, knowing that his purpose had been achieved.

With Shukaku's help, the second meteorite was also blocked, and the two huge meteorites were now connected together by the support of countless hands of sand, presenting a shocking sight.

The Sand Shinobi cheered loudly for Rasa as the meteorite was successfully blocked. Amidst the cheers, Rasa confidently looked at Ryan.

"Fourth Hokage!" Rasa asked, and Chiyo and the others nervously awaited Ryan's response, regretting their earlier doubts about his abilities.

Facing the expectant gazes of the Sand Shinobi, Ryan smiled mysteriously, pointing to the sky and said, "I have to say, you do have some tricks. However, you don't think that the ninjutsu I used can't be used again, do you?"

"Regarding this third one... what are you going to do?"

As Ryan's voice fell, the whole sky darkened, and the third meteorite suddenly appeared above everyone's heads. The sheer horror of its size made even Rasa question his life choices at that moment.

Even Shukaku, a tailed beast, appeared minuscule in comparison to the meteorite, leaving Rasa utterly astonished.

Ryan, however, seemed unusually relaxed. He understood why Madara launched such a powerful ninjutsu. The ninja coalition forces had managed to block one meteorite, but if they blocked two, a third one would follow.

Now, Sunagakure, having successfully blocked the second one with the help of the Shukaku, faced the challenge of the third meteorite.

"Damn!!! Rasa, you've tricked me! How do I fight against this kind of monster?!" Shukaku exclaimed, his frustration evident.
