Chapter 86: Fierce Battle with the Kazekage (Part 3)
Actually, using Hiramekarei: Release to engage in an offensive battle was a relatively good solution, but facing the Third Kazekage Iron Sand, who had developed Magnet Release to an extremely profound level, Kiyoshi didn't have enough confidence that he could protect the Twin Swords, Hiramekarei, from being affected by the Magnet Release Chakra.
At this moment, Kiyoshi suddenly recalled the Iron Sand floating in the air when he had faced his Fire Release earlier. Thanks to the Jōgan's super strong insight, that extremely faint sign of melting had been clearly observed by Kiyoshi.
Thinking of this, Kiyoshi quickly began forming hand seals while the attack hadn't yet arrived. He wanted to use extreme high temperature to directly melt the Iron Sand!
Although Kiyoshi in his previous life was just a liberal arts student, he knew that generally a high temperature above 2000° Celsius could melt iron sand. And in this ninja world with the magical power of Chakra, he could now easily produce flames with a temperature exceeding 2000° Celsius.
(It should be reasonable, right? I'm not too sure. I checked the official setting books. According to the settings for Scorch Release and Lava Release, they both have high temperatures of over a thousand degrees. There's also something even more outrageous: the Mangekyō Sharingan's dōjutsu Amaterasu, the legendary flames from the center of the sun, should theoretically have tens of millions of degrees. Maybe the sun in the ninja world is different from Earth's? Anyway, Amaterasu has never burned a proper person to death, except for White Zetsu, but it's not considered a person. A face full of black question marks? Karin was burned by Sasuke for more than ten seconds, and only her clothes were damaged. Uchiha Madara's Amaterasu ripped his clothes, and the Raikage was burned, resulting in just a severed arm. It's really unexplainable, so we can only attribute it to the magic of Chakra.)
After three simple hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Fire Release Chakra was continuously compressed in his mouth. Kiyoshi slightly opened his mouth and spat out a small fireball towards the ground. But when the fireball landed, the burning range rapidly expanded, instantly forming a surging sea of flames.
Then Kiyoshi changed his hand seals, clasping his hands together.
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
This time, Kiyoshi spat out a high-pressure wind ball from his mouth. As soon as the wind ball appeared, its volume rapidly began to expand, forming a huge storm vortex that then merged into the sea of flames.
The wind aided the fire, and the temperature of the flames rapidly increased, turning sky blue in the blink of an eye.
"Combined Ninjutsu: Blazing Wind Wild Waves!!!"
At this moment, the Iron Sand attack controlled by Iron Sand also crashed into the sea of flames. But before the Iron Sand pyramid, cylinder, and cuboid could break through this raging inferno, they all began to melt in this extreme high temperature. Iron Sand's attack had failed again.
Iron Sand frowned. Although he knew his Iron Sand had the characteristic of melting under high temperatures, and he had just seen Kiyoshi use Fire Release, he really hadn't expected that someone from the Hidden Mist Village, and a member of the Kaguya clan, would actually be able to use such powerful Fire Release, powerful enough to easily melt his Iron Sand.
However, his setup was now complete. All the previous attacks had actually been preparations for his next move. At this moment, the entire battlefield was covered with enough Iron Sand, and the pre-conditions for the technique were ready.
Iron Sand was full of confidence in the ultimate move he was about to unleash. He firmly believed that under his set of combined attacks, Kiyoshi would absolutely not be able to escape.
Touching the ground with both hands, Chakra was continuously channeled into the ground. With a thought, countless Iron Sand began to surge wildly, like a surging flood, sweeping towards Kiyoshi.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Tsunami!!!"
The ground began to sink, and endless Iron Sand rolled continuously across the battlefield like waves.
Kiyoshi continuously flashed and moved on this battlefield, dodging wave after wave of Iron Sand sweeping towards him, while constantly thinking of countermeasures. Attacks launched from a distance would give Iron Sand room to react, so he needed to close the distance between himself and Iron Sand.
Seeing his ninjutsu successfully activated, Iron Sand flapped his wings again, flying into the sky, while clasping his hands together, and destructive Chakra fluctuations continuously spread around him.
Iron Sand's lips curled upward. "Damn Hidden Mist ninja! Die!!!!!"
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method!!!"
Iron Sand unleashed a large amount of Magnet Release Chakra in one breath. The nearby magnetic force rapidly increased under its influence and then continuously spread around, quickly covering this battlefield.
The Iron Sand Tsunami from just now had already turned this place into an ocean of Iron Sand. A large amount of Iron Sand continuously floated up from the ground, eventually forming Iron Sand creations of various shapes and sizes, covering the sky and ground densely. If someone with trypophobia saw this, they would probably die on the spot.
Under Iron Sand's manipulation, the Iron Sand in various forms became sharp spikes and began to continuously shoot down from the sky towards the ground, covering a very large area. Moreover, the shooting trajectory was completely random, diffusing irregularly, making it impossible to see the incoming attacks clearly.
However, with the powerful insight provided by the Jōgan, Kiyoshi was able to continuously dodge within the Iron Sand World Method, avoiding one attack after another like a butterfly flitting through flowers and leaves.
Every incoming Iron Sand spike was like a deadly viper, whistling past Kiyoshi, but Kiyoshi relied on his keen insight, astonishing reaction speed, and agile movements to narrowly avoid them time and time again, and his steps didn't become chaotic in the slightest.
Kiyoshi moved like a ghost in this Iron Sand-created home ground, skillfully dodging all of Iron Sand's attacks, and he was still constantly looking for an opportunity to attack Iron Sand.
However, although Kiyoshi wasn't hit by the attacks within the Iron Sand World Method, while dodging, his armor was still inevitably grazed by the Iron Sand with strong magnetic force, and then Iron Sand's Magnet Release Chakra rapidly infiltrated the armor.
At this moment, Iron Sand finally revealed a smile of complete confidence, as if everything was under his control. "Now let's see how you still dodge!!!"
Immediately afterwards, the surging Magnet Release Chakra in his body erupted again. The powerful Magnet Release Chakra and the Magnet Release Iron Sand that had Contaminated Kiyoshi's armor produced a strong resonance. Those Iron Sand spikes in mid-air that hadn't been fired yet suddenly acted as if they had been equipped with GPS navigation, rapidly and continuously shooting towards Kiyoshi.
At this time, under the mutual attraction of the magnetic force, Kiyoshi had no chance to dodge at all.
"Sukuna Hikona!"
In the instant before the attack arrived, Kiyoshi once again activated the dōjutsu in his left eye to shrink himself. Although the magnetic force's positioning was still on his body, in this instant, Kiyoshi, as the target, suddenly shrank, causing Iron Sand's attack to miss again.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this!?" Iron Sand's pupils couldn't help but shrink in mid-air. Although he couldn't see Kiyoshi's figure, Kiyoshi's armor still had his Magnet Release Chakra on it, and he could sense that Kiyoshi's position hadn't changed at all.
