Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 154

Thinking of this, Rasa immediately condensed a huge cube of gold dust and then threw it down from high altitude.

After throwing one, Rasa moved his sand platform horizontally to another spot.

He would drag Hayato for as long as possible, just enough to cause considerable trouble for the Konoha shinobi.

Meanwhile, Hayato, who was chasing Rasa, was not in a hurry. He looked in the direction where the cube fell, thinking it should be fine.

Below, Hayato’s original Three-Ninjutsu squad gathered. Then, the Wind Release squad and Fire Release squad cooperated to unleash their ninjutsu.

Wind fueled the fire, and the flames’ temperature rapidly soared before meeting the gold dust cube.

The scorching flames began to roast the gold dust, turning it red hot, and then the Water Release squad made their appearance.

Streams of water sprayed towards the red-hot cube.

Sizzling sounds constantly rang out, and the cube continuously emitted steam and smoke.

In a short while, the originally solid cube began to show cracks, then shattered into pieces.

Under thermal expansion and contraction, the cube’s structure was severely damaged.

It turned into small, harmless fragments.

“Success!”

The Three-Ninjutsu squad exclaimed excitedly. It was only an idea before; they had never truly put it into practice.

Now that it had genuinely succeeded, the sense of honor was self-evident.

“Don’t let your guard down, there are others.” Asuma said sternly; he was the captain of the small Fire Release squad.

Hearing Asuma’s words, everyone else also put away their relaxed expressions and began to deal with the next gold dust bomb.

Rasa saw all of this through his Third Eye. He stopped condensing large gold dust cubes.

This wouldn’t do.

Damn it, his Magnet Release had been countered.

This annoyed Rasa even more than knowing Hayato could fly.

Magnet Release was his proudest technique, and he hadn’t expected it to be so easily countered.

Then, he refocused his gaze on Hayato, who was approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

“Is all of this because of you?” Rasa’s face grew increasingly serious. This forced him to reconsider the upcoming battle.

In the sky, he had his own advantages. Although he didn’t know how the opponent achieved their flying ability.

Compared to his sand platform, the opponent’s contraption was clearly not very flexible, and its speed was not as fast as his.

Just as Hayato approached Rasa within one to two hundred meters, Hayato formed a hand seal with his right hand.

“Storm Release: Great Storm Light Fang!”

A laser beam shot towards Rasa at an incredibly high speed.

‘Although your fighter jet isn’t as fast as your sand platform, I have long-range abilities to compensate for that difference.’

In an instant, Hayato’s attack arrived before Rasa’s eyes. The latter’s pupils slightly widened, then he quickly condensed a sand shield to block it in front of him.

But clearly, the sand shield could not block Hayato’s Storm Release laser.

In a short while, the sand shield was covered in spiderweb-like cracks and then shattered.

Rasa was astonished and quickly fell backward, barely dodging the attack.

Then he exhaled.

In this short time, the fighter jet had brought Hayato close to Rasa.

Hayato drew his Elucidator and slashed at him, attacking relentlessly.

Rasa continuously controlled his sand platform to retreat.

It was a classic reenactment.

‘Damn it, even in the sky, I can’t escape the situation on the ground,’ Rasa thought anxiously. If this continued, he would eventually be worn down.

The sand platform also consumed his chakra, especially at its current high speed.

As for Hayato, that iron lump clearly wasn’t consuming Hayato’s stamina.

‘Wait, that iron lump!’

Suddenly, an idea popped into Rasa’s mind. Since it was hard to deal with the person, he would deal with his tool instead.

As long as he dealt with the tool, victory would naturally still be his.

Acting on his thought, Rasa secretly manipulated the gold dust in the air. Every time Hayato approached him, he would attach a portion of the gold dust to the fighter jet.

Of course, he thought he was being subtle, but under Hayato’s Sharingan, such tricks were useless.

Hayato had long since discovered the subtle gold dust gradually attaching to the fighter jet, as there was chakra flowing through it.

‘Too bad, Rasa, your calculations are going to fall through,’ Hayato smiled faintly.

This fighter jet had long been coated for protection; the outer layer was incredibly sturdy and wouldn’t affect the internal controls of the jet.

Rasa’s current actions were merely equivalent to adding another layer of gold film to the fighter jet.

Soon, Rasa also discovered something was wrong; his gold dust couldn’t affect the fighter jet’s flight.

‘What’s going on?’

Although he was puzzled, Hayato had no intention of explaining it to him. His offensive continued relentlessly, pushing Rasa into a difficult position.

To be honest, it was even worse than being at low altitude now.

After all, at low altitude, his movements were more convenient, and the sand platform consumed less chakra.

Having made up his mind, Rasa gradually lowered the height of his sand platform.

“What, scared? Running again?” Hayato said indifferently, then quickly formed hand seals.

“Where are you planning to go this time?”

He had tried both land and air, so was he planning to go into the sea this time? Hayato couldn’t help but inwardly grumble.

But it was useless to think about it; the Wind Country was inland, where was there any sea?

Having a lake was already quite something.

But Hayato still didn’t intend to let him off so easily. Want to run? It wasn’t that simple.

He threw a Flying Thunder God kunai downwards, his figure constantly flickering.

The Flying Thunder God kunai wasn’t good for chasing upwards, but for diving downwards, there wasn’t much of a problem.

Soon, Hayato arrived in front of Rasa.

He brought his Elucidator down to strike.

Seeing this, Rasa gathered gold dust in his hands, performing a bare-handed catch of the blade.

After the Elucidator was caught by Rasa, Hayato wasn’t in a hurry. He infused fire-attribute chakra into the sword’s blade.

Instantly, the Elucidator ignited, and fiery patterns appeared.

“Fire Style: Blazing Dragon Tornado!”

A powerful fire tornado surged downwards, directly striking Rasa.

‘To catch the Elucidator at such close range, you’re truly brave,’ Hayato’s lips curved into a smile.

Rasa was momentarily stunned by this sudden attack. ‘What’s going on? Can ninjutsu be released from a ninja tool?

And without any wind-up time?’

He regretted his earlier action of catching the blade bare-handed.

The fire tornado directly knocked Rasa to the ground, creating a huge crater.

Fortunately, Rasa hadn’t been too far off the ground earlier. If he had been any further, his injuries would have been worse.

Hayato was also falling, with the fighter jet behind him constantly approaching.

A moment later, it reappeared beneath Hayato’s feet, providing him with a platform as he slowly descended to the ground.

The fighter jet had temporarily completed its mission, so Hayato recalled it into a scroll and simultaneously dispelled his shadow clone.

Then, his figure moved towards Rasa’s location.
