"No!"
One sand soldier had already made Kushimaru Kuriarare suffer greatly in the tug-of-war. With two sand soldiers together, Kushimaru Kuriarare didn't need to think to know what the result would be.
"Someone help me!"
Kushimaru Kuriarare deeply regretted his previous action of winding up the sand soldiers.
It was tantamount to proactively delivering himself into the opponent's hands.
Kushimaru Kuriarare first looked in Jinin Akebino's direction.
He saw Jinin Akebino clutching his butt, his face full of shame and indignation.
So Kushimaru Kuriarare looked at Raiga Kurosuki.
At this moment, Raiga Kurosuki's situation was undoubtedly the best among the three.
The sand soldiers contained a large amount of metal.
And Lightning Release, therefore, would have a certain countering effect on the sand soldiers.
In this world, Lightning Release was one of the basic attributes, but compared to other attributes, it had quite a few advantages.
Hydrification Technique, Deidara's bombs—all were countered by Lightning Release.
"Raiga!"
Raiga Kurosuki, holding a sword in each hand, heard Kushimaru Kuriarare's voice. His eyes flickered for a moment, then he raised one of the swords.
"Lightning Release!"
A bolt of lightning swept fiercely toward the sand soldiers on Kushimaru Kuriarare's side.
However, before that.
A net woven from gold dust blocked the way.
It directly absorbed the lightning and then channeled it into the ground.
Lightning Release had a certain countering effect on metal.
But conversely, Rasa could also utilize the conductivity of metal to guide the lightning.
The two sand soldiers pulled violently.
Squelch!
A red line appeared on Kushimaru Kuriarare's palm.
Kushimaru Kuriarare winced in pain. Stumbling and seeing that he was about to be pulled over, he quickly let go.
Immediately, the Nuibari longsword fell into the hands of a sand soldier.
With a thought from Rasa, the sand soldier threw the longsword in Rasa's direction, picked up its shield and spear, and charged at Kushimaru Kuriarare.
Even with the longsword in hand, Kushimaru Kuriarare had been at a disadvantage.
Now without the longsword, his strength greatly reduced, he was even less of a match for two sand soldiers.
He was left only with the struggle to defend, and defeat was just a matter of time.
Jinin Akebino became anxious.
"Raiga, use your full strength, or we'll all die in a moment!"
Hearing this, Raiga Kurosuki's expression became serious. He looked in Jinin Akebino's direction, a look of blame in his eyes, feeling that if not for Jinin Akebino, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
They had agreed to come bully the juniors of the Sand Village to vent their anger.
But he insisted on delaying time. Well, the delay brought the big shot of the Sand Village.
Not only did he come, but his strength completely exceeded their previous expectations of Rasa.
Even after hearing about the Beni-yama clan incident.
Manifesting six such powerful sand soldiers at once.
Even without using the Yatagarasu, the three of them were suppressed.
Rasa's main body hadn't even really made a move yet.
How were they supposed to fight this?
"It's all up to me."
Raiga Kurosuki took a deep breath.
The next moment, a massive amount of chakra condensed.
"Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Tornado!"
A dragon formed of lightning suddenly appeared in mid-air. Absorbing the lightning from the Kiba blades, it became like a living creature, looking down from above.
An extremely strong oppressive force radiated out.
"Go!"
Raiga Kurosuki pointed in Rasa's direction.
Rasa looked up.
A mass of gold dust condensed into a net, one end of which was connected to a golden pillar.
Just at this moment, Raiga Kurosuki grinned.
The next moment, the thunder dragon that had already pounced toward Rasa suddenly changed direction.
With extremely high speed, it rushed toward the two sand soldiers attacking Kushimaru Kuriarare.
It passed directly through them.
But it didn't end there; it then headed for the two sand soldiers facing Jinin Akebino.
Feigning an attack on Rasa, but in reality, the target was the four sand soldiers.
Powerful lightning pierced through, causing the figures of the four sand soldiers to stiffen for an instant.
Jinin Akebino seized this opportunity, flashing to Kushimaru Kuriarare's side.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Fang!"
Raiga Kurosuki used a lightning attack again, repelling the two sand soldiers in front of him.
However, just as Raiga Kurosuki was preparing to turn and flee.
Suddenly, Raiga Kurosuki's face changed drastically.
Because Raiga Kurosuki discovered that his legs couldn't move.
Two streams of gold dust had wound their way up at some point, binding his legs tightly.
This time, it was Rasa's turn to smile.
"You thought I fell for your trick."
"But what you don't know is, I deliberately let you think I fell for your trick."
"Compared to those two, I want to deal with you first."
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity!"
"Yatagarasu!"
High in the sky, the Yatagarasu let out an excited cry.
The next moment, an explosive egg appeared, directly facing Raiga Kurosuki's direction.
As if sensing something, Raiga Kurosuki looked up and saw the white, gigantic, oval-shaped explosive egg.
He struggled desperately, lightning flickering.
But it was to no avail.
There wasn't enough time.
Raiga Kurosuki could only watch helplessly as the explosive egg fell, despair in his eyes, unable to do anything.
Boom!
A huge explosion rang out.
The entire ground shook.
Countless sand and stones flew out.
Accompanying the explosion was Raiga Kurosuki's extremely filthy curse.
Dust settled.
A very large depression appeared on the ground.
Two Kiba blades lay scattered.
And Raiga Kurosuki's corpse lay quietly in the very center, like charred coal.
A trace of relief appeared in the eyes of Jinin Akebino and Kushimaru Kuriarare.
After all, it wasn't them who died.
But soon, their faces became very ugly.
Given the current situation, did they still have a chance to survive?
"Damn it!"
"This Rasa is so cunning!"
"Why hasn't that Hozuki Gengetsu arrived yet?"
Jinin Akebino cursed loudly in his heart.
Just at this moment, Jinin Akebino seemed to see something, and his eyes lit up.
"Kushimaru, attack!"
Kushimaru Kuriarare: "?"
"Don't hesitate, this might be our only chance. Hozuki Gengetsu is here; we have to create an opportunity for him!"
Before he finished speaking, Jinin Akebino rushed out fiercely.
Kushimaru Kuriarare gritted his teeth and could only follow.
The sand soldiers were one step behind.
But only one step behind.
The spears in the sand soldiers' hands could pierce into their bodies as long as Jinin Akebino and Kushimaru Kuriarare paused slightly.
Run them through.
But now, Jinin Akebino and the other couldn't care about that.
"Rasa, die!"
Jinin Akebino held the Helmet Splitter high.
Kushimaru Kuriarare formed hand seals rapidly while running.
The two exerted all their strength to attract Rasa's attention and buy time for Hozuki Gengetsu .
But suddenly, the two were stunned.
Because they saw that one of Rasa's eye sockets was pitch black, like a black hole; the eyeball that should have been there was missing.
