Konoha: Sage Body

"You'd better think carefully before you speak. I'm warning you, Kirito Tosaka, you're not the only one who can threaten people with their villages. If you dare to use the people of Sunagakure to threaten me, I dare to use the same method against you and against your Konoha.

Aren't you a genius? Think about it. A Kage-Level powerhouse with no restraints. You should know exactly what will happen. You're indeed amazing, but your family and friends can't all be as amazing as you."

When Sandaime Kazekage heard Kirito threaten him with Sunagakure, he was instantly filled with murderous intent, and his eyes glared menacingly as he stared at Kirito.

As he spoke, a fan formed from sand and iron appeared in his hand, and he then forcefully waved it at Kirito.

A gust of wind suddenly blew up, mixed with a large number of sharp kamaitō.

Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel!

Every ninjutsu has a weakness, and Lightning Release Technique is no exception. Wind Release Technique is the weakness of Lightning Release Technique. Once the Lightning-transformed body is hit by Wind Release Technique, it will immediately return to its original form and suffer serious internal injuries.

However, after Kirito uses Lightning Transformation Technique, his movement speed is so fast that it is much faster than the wind.

Under normal circumstances, Wind Release Ninjutsu basically cannot even catch up with Kirito's tailwind, let alone hit him.

Sandaime Kazekage is worthy of being the Kazekage of an entire village, and his judgment is sharp. It seems that he has already guessed the weakness of his Lightning Transformation Technique, and directly uses Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel, a Wind Release Ninjutsu that infuses Wind Release Chakra into the air current to attack over a wide area.

If Kirito uses Lightning Transformation Technique to dodge at this time, he will easily be hit.

Kirito knows the weaknesses of Lightning Transformation Technique very well. With a wave of his hand, a sturdy wall of sand rises from the ground in front of him, blocking Sandaime Kazekage's Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel, and then he lands on the ground, quickly runs, and heads straight for Sandaime Kazekage's body.

Seeing this, Sandaime Kazekage hurriedly manipulated the sand iron golem to block him. A large amount of sand iron gushed out from the ground and transformed into long sand iron snakes that attacked Kirito.

Kirito, on the other hand, manipulated the sand to create a number of lifelike sand cats to fight these sand iron snakes.

Both sides are only the shaped bodies of a certain substance, and there is no such thing as life. When they collide with each other, they compare the number of shaped bodies they control, their chakra, their object manipulation skills, and so on.

Kirito's mental calculation ability is amazing. Coupled with Shukaku's enormous chakra, he directly created more than 20 sand cats out of the sand, and manipulated them with ease.

In contrast, while ensuring that the flexibility of the manipulated object is not affected, the Sandaime Kazekage can only control up to eight sand iron long snakes at the same time.

However, the Sandaime Kazekage has been immersed in Magnet Release for decades, and is much more skilled at manipulating the sand iron long snakes than Kirito, who is just starting to play with the sand. He is also a professional at playing with snakes and knows all their movements like the back of his hand.

Under his control, the eight sand and iron serpents were as agile as the real desert serpents.

For a time, Sandaime Kazekage relied on the eight sand and iron serpents alone to suppress the more than twenty sand cats controlled by Kirito, fully demonstrating his mastery of Magnet Release.

Kirito was not discouraged by this, but instead watched intently as Sandaime Kazekage controlled the eight sand and iron serpents.

In no time at all, Kirito's mind snapped into action, and a sand snake of the same size as the sand and iron long snake emerged from the sand and then fought with one of the sand and iron long snakes.

If someone else had been watching, they would have definitely been able to see that the movements of the new sand snake controlled by Kirito were almost identical to those of the sand and iron long snake controlled by Sandaime Kazekage.

At first, Sandaime Kazekage's Snake of Sand and Iron was able to easily suppress Kirito's Snake, which had little ability to fight back and was constantly being damaged. However, gradually, the Snake began to fight back a little, starting to tear a hole in the Snake of Sand and Iron.

"This bastard is stealing my techniques, and his learning ability is just too abnormal."

Sandaime Kazekage is not blind, of course he noticed Kirito imitating him. He was shocked and cursed in his heart, and his mind became more determined to find a way to get rid of this terrible Konoha genius as soon as possible.

However, he was also happy that Kirito was here imitating him, giving him more time to return to Sunagakure.

"As expected, if you want to improve quickly, you still need to be taught by a famous master. Manipulating sand iron and manipulating sand are essentially the same. The Sandaime Kazekage is truly a master of Magnet Release, and his ability to manipulate sand iron is truly unparalleled in the ninja world, and there is a lot to learn."

Kirito was in no hurry to cause trouble for the Sandaime Kazekage, and was immersed in the joy of learning.

However, when Sandaime Kazekage was about to run out of range of his soul's perception, he decisively interrupted his learning and used the Lightning Transformation Technique to quickly catch up with Sandaime Kazekage, who was still moving rapidly underground.

Once the Lightning Transformation Technique was activated, the sand iron puppets controlled by Sandaime Kazekage could not stop Kirito at all.

By the time Kirito caught up with Sandaime Kazekage again, the ring-shaped valley where Sunagakure was located had already appeared in the distance.

Sunagakure is built in a rare circular valley in the desert. Due to its special geographical environment, the tall surrounding rock walls block the intrusion of wind and sand from the outside world. Coupled with the relatively abundant groundwater beneath the valley, it has allowed the inside of Sunagakure to develop peacefully.

"Sunagakure is almost here, Kazekage-sama,"

Kirito said with a smile as he levitated in the air using magnetism and looked at the rapidly formed figure of Sandaime Kazekage made of sand and iron on the ground.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand high in the air, then pointed his index finger, and a rapidly spinning ball of Chakra began to appear above his index finger.

In just a few seconds, the ball of Chakra expanded to a diameter of two meters and was still growing.

At the same time, he began to pour Wind Release Chakra into the ball of Chakra.

The shape of the ball of Chakra rapidly changed, turning into a huge white spiral shuriken, which emitted a terrifying vibration.

Wind Release: Super Large RasenShuriken!

As the giant rasenshuriken appeared, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, forming a huge tornado with the shuriken at its center.

The tornado stirred the surrounding sand.

In no time, a huge sandstorm began to appear.

"Enough is enough, Kirito Tosaka. Sunagakure cannot be captured by your strength alone, and even if you add the thousands of Konoha ninja under your command, it is still impossible,"

Sandaime Kazekage looked at the chakra Rasenshuriken above his head, which emitted a terrifying chakra fluctuation and vibration sound, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He said with a cold face,

He wasn't just blowing smoke when he said that. The village of Sunagakure still had more than 8,000 ninja, including more than 200 jōnin, and they were also prepared to use the trump cards left behind by the second Kazekage.

Moreover, after so many years of operation by Sunagakure, the traps and seal arrays secretly laid down had long since turned the valley where Sunagakure was located into a terrifying and dangerous place. An outsider enemy wanting to break into Sunagakure without incident would have to be able to fly, otherwise they would have to obediently enter through the Sky-Line Canyon.

He firmly believed that unless Konoha sent out its entire army, they could only dream of destroying his Sunagakure.

"In fact, you are the only one I want. As long as you are dead, I promise to immediately withdraw my men from the Land of Wind. After all, someone has to be responsible for this war between Konoha and Sunagakure, and I will be able to give a good account of myself when I go back to Konoha. What do you say?"

Kirito said with a smile, using the most gentle words to get someone to take the initiative to die.

As he spoke, the spiral shuriken above his finger continued to rapidly increase in size.

With his long-term improvement in both his chakra control and chakra volume, he was now able to create spiral bombs of an astonishing size, just like the later Naruto. Coupled with his recent rapid improvement in Wind Release, he could also add Wind Release Chakra to them, upgrading the spiral bombs to spiral shuriken.

To be honest, he himself wasn't quite sure what the power of the Rasenshuriken above his finger would be like, having already expanded to a diameter of five meters. But judging from the fact that he could easily shatter a boulder more than ten meters high with a normal Rasenshuriken,

his still-expanding Rasenshuriken might just be able to open a pretty good gap in the valley wall protecting the Sunagakure village.

"Damn it, you're not going to get away with this,"

Sandaime Kazekage saw that Kirito still hadn't stopped playing with the dangerous device that made him feel so uneasy when he threatened him, and knew that Kirito had no intention of negotiating. He decisively launched a fierce attack.

The next moment, a huge cone of sand and iron rapidly smashed towards Kirito.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Gathering Assault!

Kirito turned his hand and used his control over the sand to create an even larger Iron Sand Cone to counter it.

Sand Release: Iron Sand Gathering Assault!

The two huge cone shapes locked horns in the air and collided, instantly producing a loud crash. However, the result was that Sandaime Kazekage's iron and sand cone was pushed back by Kirito's sand cone, which crashed straight into Sandaime Kazekage's iron and sand puppet.

"Damn it,"

Sandaime Kazekage saw that Kirito was relying on his greater chakra and using the same technique to defeat him, and his mind exploded at this point.

But he had no time to care about this anymore. He let the sand iron puppet be crushed by the two huge sand iron cones, and continued to manipulate a large amount of sand iron to form a large number of fine needles that shot at Kirito from all directions.

No matter what, he had to stop Kirito from smashing the dangerous object in his hand at Sunagakure.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!

Unfortunately, as a Jinchuuriki, Kirito's chakra was far stronger than Sandaime Kazekage's. No matter how fiercely Sandaime Kazekage attacked, Kirito could easily manipulate large amounts of sand to block all of his attacks.

In the desert, Shukaku's ability to manipulate sand gave Kirito a huge advantage. Even though Sandaime Kazekage had secretly stored a large amount of sand iron in the sand underground around Sunagakure a long time ago, it was still far inferior to sand in terms of quantity.

Moreover, although Sandaime Kazekage's amount of Chakra was greater than that of an average Kage-Level powerhouse, it was no match for Kirito at all.

At this moment, Sandaime Kazekage felt as if he was facing an enhanced version of himself, and he could see no hope of victory.

Ten meters, this was the current limit of the size of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken that Kirito could create. Any more and it would face the crisis of spiraling out of control.

In order to create this Rasenshuriken with a diameter of ten meters, Kirito had used up nearly one-fifth of Shukaku's total Chakra.

"Go on, show me your power,"

said Kirito expectantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, his right index finger moved immediately, pointing in the direction of Sunagakure.

The next moment, the huge extra-large Rasenshuriken obediently shot towards Sunagakure at high speed, carrying a huge tornado with it.

At this time, the ninja in Sunagakure had long since noticed this chakra Rasenshuriken, which emitted a terrifying chakra fluctuation and a vibrating sound. As they watched this obviously extremely dangerous object come at high speed towards Sunagakure, their faces all revealed expressions of fear.

"Block it, we must not let it pass."

"The village is right behind us, we must block it even if we die."

"Go, we must protect the village."

...

When the crisis reached Sunagakure, some Suna-Nin who had long since awakened to their calling stepped forward, stopped from the cliff face, and bravely faced the incoming oversized Rasenshuriken and tornadoes that were like natural disasters.

The appearance of the brave was always inspiring, and more and more ninja were infected and stepped forward.

They vowed to protect Sunagakure to the death!

For a time, a large number of Suna-Nin used ninjutsu of all kinds and powers to attack the incoming oversized Rasenshuriken and tornadoes.

Flames, gusts of wind, earth and stone, lightning, water currents, and a large number of explosive tags were all shot at the extra-large Rasenshuriken and the shuriken storm, triggering a huge collision.

However, the ninjutsu they were facing at this time was a powerful ninjutsu that had reached the level of a natural disaster, and the Rasengan was originally a ninjutsu that imitated the Bijudama.

The extra-large Rasenshuriken that Kirito had now released was already powerful enough to contend with the Bijudama created by the beast.

Thus, even in the face of the combined attack of thousands of ninjas, the extra-large Rasenshuriken was not shaken, let alone stopped in its tracks.

"Stop right there!!!"

When the large number of Suna-Nin were about to despair, a voice of exasperation suddenly appeared, and then countless shuriken emerged from the sand, transforming into an incredibly thick shuriken wall blocking the path of the extra-large Rasenshuriken and the large number of Suna-Nin in its path.

At the same time, a figure that made all the Suna-Nin feel invigorated appeared before their eyes.

At the critical moment, Sandaime Kazekage, who had performed very stably during the battle against Kirito, finally stepped forward, appearing before the countless Suna-Nin who had been waiting for him to step forward like a savior.

"It's not easy being a hero,"

said Kirito as he flew through the air, looking down on the figure below who had stepped forward in the face of the natural disaster, his face cold and expressionless.

The next moment, a golden laser, ready to strike, shot out of the index finger of his right hand.

Storm Release: Laser Technique!

The golden laser instantly pierced through the layers of sand, dozens of meters underground, and finally pierced through a ninja who was expending his chakra to the maximum.

Simultaneously, an incredibly thick wall of iron-sand collided with the extra-large Rasenshuriken, and a huge explosion instantly appeared.

A semicircular ball of light that radiated astonishing light and heat appeared in the desert.

A huge wall of iron sand stopped the light and heat from erupting outside Sunagakure.

"It's stopped! Long live the Third Kazekage!"

"Thank you so much, Third Kazekage!"

"The Third Kazekage is here! We will definitely win..."

...

The Suna-Nin cheered as they watched the Sandaime Kazekage successfully block the natural disaster that had made them feel so hopeless, shouting the words "Long live the Kazekage!"

The Sandaime Kazekage couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness on his face as he listened to the cheers of the many Suna-Nin behind him, and then slowly turned around, looking at the Sunagakure Village up close, revealing a pure smile before finally letting out a light sigh.

Then, with the first gust of wind, the entire person dissolved into countless grains of sand and iron and disappeared before the Suna-Nin.
