The range of Wind Release: Net is vast.
Temari saw that the Third Raikage had no intention of dodging at all. With an excited expression, she called for the sealing squad to get ready to seal him as soon as the wind release hit.
The sealing squad followed Temari's orders.
When the net attack hit the Third Raikage, they immediately rushed to his side, preparing to seal him.
Unfortunately, after enduring the net attack, the Third Raikage's body was unaffected, as if nothing had happened.
Thankfully, he didn't intend to kill anyone.
Facing the members of the sealing squad, he simply punched each one, sending them flying like children.
"Damn, is his body really this tough?"
Looking at the unharmed Third Raikage, Temari's expression turned extremely serious.
She turned to the Raikage's close aide, Dodai, standing nearby and asked, half in frustration, "How did he even die? With a body like that, who could kill him?"
To be fair, Dust Release's power could still kill him.
However, the preparation time for Dust Release is too long.
Against a Dust Release attack, the Third Raikage would have more than enough time to dodge.
"Lord Third Raikage fought against tens of thousands and was eventually worn down by the ninjas of Iwagakure," Dodai explained.
"In that case, what's the point of fighting him?" Temari's mood started to crumble a bit.
The Fourth Division had no other Wind Release users stronger than her.
Moreover, the Third Raikage was a Reanimated body; even if she tried, she couldn't wear him down.
"Damn it, what should we do?"
Seeing that the enemy didn't launch another attack, the Third Raikage realized they likely didn't have any stronger Wind Release ninjutsu left.
He felt regretful about this.
On the other side, the Second Mizukage and Second Tsuchikage also began to launch their attacks on the Fourth Division.
The Second Mizukage was wildly slacking off.
On the other hand, the Second Tsuchikage was not holding back.
Although he didn't use powerful techniques like Dust Release, even the simplest taijutsu was something these ninjas couldn't defend against.
"If this keeps going on, the Fourth Division is done for."
Gaara, who was locked in a fierce battle with Rasa, still had the spare time to observe the situation of his troops.
It was a good thing he looked; once he did, his heart sank.
Just like he had thought before the battle, the allied forces simply couldn't withstand the other three Kages.
If no unexpected factors intervened, the Fourth Division would be wiped out by the other three Kages.
"We can't keep holding back like this."
Gaara gritted his teeth and decided to get serious, quickly forming hand seals.
"Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral."
In an instant, a wave of sand surged high into the air.
Gaara had used this technique when battling Kimimaro.
As soon as this move was unleashed, the green field quickly transformed into a desert.
Due to the nature of gold sand, Rasa couldn't float in the air like Gaara.
So, when Gaara, disregarding his chakra consumption, filled the area with yellow sand, Rasa was immediately put at a disadvantage.
However, even with this technique, it wasn't enough to defeat Rasa.
The presence of the gold sand allowed Rasa to build a reliable defense.
Although the noise Gaara made was huge, the effect wasn't as impressive.
"Gaara, you're being too hasty."
Rasa, protected by the gold sand, frowned and wasn't pleased with Gaara's actions.
"I had no choice. If we don't end this quickly, I'm afraid the ninjas in the division will all be killed."
Taking a deep breath, Gaara began to release chakra on a large scale once again.
"Sand Storm Burial"
Why was he using so much chakra to perform the Sand Storm Burial?
Was it just to create a massive amount of sand to trap Rasa?
Don't be fooled by how safe Rasa seems with his gold sand protection. Let's not forget, Gaara has a powerful technique— the strongest Spear of Shukaku.
"Ugh"
The Spear of Shukaku successfully pierced through the gold sand defense and struck Rasa's chest.
Rasa looked down at his chest in disbelief, then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Looks like you've really gotten stronger, Gaara."
"Of course."
"Then… the village will be up to you from now on."
"The village is in my hands. You can rest easy, Father."
The sand that had wrapped around Rasa slowly slid off, revealing his entire body.
And on his abdomen, there was a seal with the character for "seal" written on it.
Besides the Spear of Shukaku, Gaara's sealing techniques are also incredibly powerful.
Finally, with a slightly proud smile on Rasa's face, Gaara successfully sealed him.
"Haha"
With Rasa sealed, Gaara, feeling a slight relief, started breathing heavily.
Even though his chakra reserve was far greater than that of an average Kage, releasing multiple powerful techniques one after another left him utterly exhausted.
"It's not the time to rest now. The ninjas of the Fourth Division still need me."
After slightly calming his breath, Gaara resolutely began to control the sand, floating towards the main army.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.
Floating in the sky, he could clearly see that the situation of the division ninjas was not looking good.
Facing a group of idiots, the Second Mizukage had also started to get increasingly frustrated, ready to do whatever.
The Second Tsuchikage didn't use large-scale destructive ninjutsu, but his taijutsu alone had already killed many of the division ninjas.
As for the Third Raikage, Temari was also in danger.
Perhaps Kabuto was annoyed by how slow the Third Raikage was, so he decided to control the Third Raikage's body himself to fight.
What should have been a stand-off quickly turned into a bloody massacre.
Against the tough body of the Third Raikage, even someone like Temari, a master of wind release, was completely useless.
Thinking that Temari's wind release jutsu was annoying, Kabuto, controlling the Third Raikage, launched an attack on Temari, wanting to eliminate this troublesome person.
"Don't!"
Seeing the Third Raikage's hand about to reach Temari, Gaara shouted in despair.
With Temari's body, there was no way she could withstand the Third Raikage's lightning release hand.
If she was touched, she would surely die.
"Sorry, little girl, I can't control myself."
The Third Raikage sighed, looking very apologetic.
Unless something unexpected happened, this wind release girl would die in his hands in the next second.
But then, just as expected, an unexpected event occurred.
A kunai, appearing from nowhere, suddenly appeared right in front of him.
Originally, with his physical strength, there was no need for him to dodge.
Even if his head was attacked, so what?
It wouldn't break his defense at all.
But now, the one controlling his body was Kabuto Yakushi.
Kabuto Yakushi's talent was undeniable—he was definitely a genius.
But perhaps because he was a medical ninja, his battle experience wasn't very rich.
When faced with the sudden shuriken, Kabuto, controlling the Third Raikage, instinctively tilted his head to dodge.
Just as he successfully dodged the shuriken, it flew past and landed behind him.
With a swoosh, a man wearing the Hokage cloak suddenly appeared behind him.
"Rasengan!"
A Rasengan attack hit the Third Raikage's right arm, causing the Raikage's attack on Temari to veer off its original path, narrowly saving her.
Temari, who had just narrowly escaped death, looked up and saw that the one who saved her was none other than the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze.
"Fourth Hokage?"
Temari exclaimed in surprise.
Not just her, but even the other ninjas around, as well as Kabuto, who was secretly controlling the Third Raikage, were all shocked and called out in surprise.
"It seems like I came at just the right time?"
Minato wiped the sweat from his forehead, his smile bright and warm.
