18 Chapter 18 Gold Dust

Sand Battlefield.

Poof!

Being pierced by sharp spikes the clones immediately burst into smoke, dispersing.

Zzzzz!!!

But the clones seemed to have achieved their purpose, at a distance of around ten meters from the sphere enclosing Rasa standing Kazuki with thunder arcing around his right hand.

"No…this feeling…

Rasa inside the sphere suddenly felt a chill his hair standing up, for the first time the defense of his golden sand unable to give the feeling of absolute safety.

Lightning Release: Thunderclap Arrow!!

The lightning arcing around the right hand of Kazuki shaped into a blue arrow as without wasting any moment he directed it towards the sphere protecting Rasa.

BOOM!!!

The distance of ten meters was covered by the lightning arrow in less than half a second, the arrow crashing into sphere and penetrating it without any problem.

The sphere was blown to bits and gold dust flying everywhere but not sign of Rasa.

The sand under Kazuki moved at this moment who sensed it immediately but his movements seemed slower than the sand, it turning into two hands holding his ankles.

Gold Dust: Sand Crush!!!

Next Kazuki who was bound saw all the sand before him moving and rising up and taking the shape of a huge golden hand about ten meters high and four or five meters wide, crashing down on him.

"Impressive!"

Muttered Kazuki while looking at the massive golden hand about to bury him completely, showing no sign of panic.

Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Release: Water Barrier)

With no intent to free himself from the hands holding him at the place, Kazuki made quick hand signs resorting to one of the strongest jutsu in his arsenal, an A-Rank Jutsu.

Water gushed out of Kazuki like a dam breaking, the sand holding him dampened immediately and lost the hold on him.

The massive water around Kazuki rose up, reaching the height equal to the golden hand swirling water barriers appeared.

"Krrr!!"

The swirling barriers were like fast spinning sharp water blades as the moment the golden hand collided, the fast spinning blades began to cut through the golden sand, everyone on the battlefield hearing a screeching sound.

"It's Rasa…who is he fighting?"

"Who among Konoha can use water style of that level?"

The display of strong jutsu successfully took the attention of other shinobi on the battlefield again, the sand shinobi seeing the golden sand easily recognizing Rasa but who his opponent was, no one had any idea.

They had no clue who among konoha was able to use water style of this level here in this sand, at least the intelligence didn't mention any.

"Who is that kid?"

"It's clearly a genin, but damn he is strong!!"

Konoha shinobi were equally astonished, looking at the person with silver hair who was fighting the sand shinobi using golden sand they were all clueless.

They could see from his attire that he was a genin but when did they had such a monster among them.

"It seems he was the one who fought that other battle as well"

The shinobi remembered the fight that just took place a while ago but due to that steam they were unable to see him.

After all they are on the battlefield, they just can't focus on the battle of others for long so they quickly started fighting again.

But now once again their attention has been taken by an even more exciting battle.

"Don't interfere in the fight but just in case stay close to Rasa, Sand has invested a lot in him!"

Said a Sand Jonin to other sand shinobi scattered around him, he knew how much the villages high ranks valued Rasa, his gold dust was not only able to stabilize them economically but it was also going to be a war weapon in the future.

Right now his control over it is no way close to third kazekages iron sand but eventually they all believed one day he would reach his height.

The sand shinobi quickly closed on the battle that was taking place, Konoha shinobi seeing their movements doing the same, although the kid who suddenly popped out was nameless but he was still a konoha shinobi, they had to protect him from any sneak attack.

The collision between the golden hand and the swirling water barriers came down to the amount of chakra both possessed.

The spinning water blades while able to cut the golden hand but Rasa pouring more chakra to utilize more sand to reshape it and continue attacking, Kazuki with a smile continuing to do the same.

"He just battled Pakura but he still has such chakra! No, this way I'll lose!!"

Finally, Rasa was the first one to pull out of the chakra battle, frustration on his face from the reserves of chakra that his opponents possessed.

Suddenly the Golden hand seemed to have lost the output of chakra tumbling down as Kazuki immediately undid the water barriers around him as well.

With the release of jutsu, Rasa with slightly rugged breath at some distance appeared in Kazuki's vision.

"Don't tell me is this all you've got?"

Taunted Kazuki deliberately with a grin on his face, though the slightly pale face of his showing that these two battles hadn't left him unaffected.

Hearing his taunt, Rasa didn't respond and after taking a deep breath he placed both of his hands on the sand underneath.

The face of Rasa suddenly began to pale at a speed visible to naked eye as black rings appeared around his eyes, with a mad face shouting.

Golden Sand Water Flow!!!!!!!

The minerals underneath the ground were grinded up by Rasa all turning into gold dust mixing with the sand in area of hundred meters around him, Kazuki with a shocked face jumping back to get out of the range.

Kazuki saw all the golden sand like a tsunami rising up, the waves of golden sand reaching height of at least twenty meters and three or four times wide, the waves rushing towards him, about to submerge and bury him completely.
