Chapter 212: The Power of Gold Sand
Let's not talk about Kaito who has already come down safely.
At the border of the Land of Fire, the Flying ninjas, who both Kaito and Minato believed should have retreated, were now arguing in the shadows halfway up a mountain.
"Kono! You coward! Are you just going to watch Captain Mirukawa cover our retreat?!"
The captain of the second team, Toshio Utsumi, roared with his eyes wide open and bloodshot.
"Shut up! This is an order from the squad leader! Are you staying there to hinder Captain Mirukawa?!"
Kono retorted without giving in.
How could there be time for these life-and-death romances on the battlefield?
As a ninja, completing the mission according to the instructions of the superiors is the top priority.
"If we came here, we could at least cover the captain's retreat! Even if we all die there, we must keep the captain alive!"
"With the captain's talent, sooner or later he will destroy Konoha and avenge us!"
Faced with the accusations of his colleagues, Kono's tone softened a bit and he began to advise.
"Captain Mirukawa is facing Konoha's Yellow Flash. We cannot intervene in a battle of that level. In fact, if we were there, it might even hinder the captain from fighting freely."
However, in a rage, Toshio Utsumi refused to listen to Kono's advice and instead cursed at him.
"Are you afraid of the yellow flash? Kono! You are not worthy of being a blood mist ninja!"
Thinking of Kaito, who always told everyone to protect themselves on the battlefield, and often said "life is important", and would bring everyone back even if their equipment was lost, he was now fighting with the strong men of Konoha for himself and others.
Toshio Utsumi clenched his fists, and finally flicked his sleeves fiercely, not looking at Kono in front of him.
"Second team! Follow me back to rescue!"
As Toshio Utsumi said this, the four members of the second team immediately jumped into the air and took off.
Seeing this, the fourth and fifth teams followed without any hesitation.
The captain of the third team looked at Kono with a struggling expression and spoke.
Unexpectedly, Kono suddenly slapped himself, and all the other flying ninjas were startled.
Then Kono growled in an irritable tone.
"Captain Mirukawa asked me to bring you all back safely. Now without them, what good is it?"
The remaining four teams all responded and immediately flew into the air to catch up with the three teams in front.
However, as soon as they approached the site of the previous battle, before they could launch an attack on the Konoha convoy or look for the figure of Kaito, they immediately discovered something unusual ahead.
A sharp-eyed flying unit member suddenly noticed the tiny golden light floating around him.
Kono, who also noticed the abnormality, immediately changed his expression and yelled at all the Flying Ninjas.
"Everyone turn! Get away from this airspace!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately tilted their gliders and adjusted their flight angles.
Even the three teams flying in the front obeyed the order without any hesitation.
However, the next moment, countless gravels emitting dazzling golden light quickly poured out from the ground in the distance.
In an instant, a huge wave of golden sand tens of meters high had been raised on the ground, and this terrifying wave was still moving forward, rapidly expanding its coverage area.
At the same time, the golden sand that was just floating slowly in the air suddenly began to become extremely violent. It trembled violently and began to attract the gliders and submachine guns behind everyone.
In just a few seconds, the equipment of the three teams led by Utsumi Toshio began to emit a faint golden light.
The flying hang glider also began to make an unpleasant 'squeaking' sound, and there were even faint arcs and flames coming out.
"Utsumi! Drop your equipment!"
"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~".
All twelve ninjas from the three teams were forced to dismantle their gliders, and even their kunai and submachine guns were thrown out, and then they freely fell to the ground.
As soon as those pieces of equipment left the ninja's body, they immediately exploded into sparks and fragments in the sky.
The rest of the people immediately dived down and hugged their teammates one by one.
In order to ensure the flying altitude, everyone took off directly halfway up the mountain.
As an elite ninja of the Flying Unit, a fall from a height of dozens of meters would not be dangerous. However, falling from a height of hundreds of meters would definitely break some bones.
However, while trying to rescue people under the golden sand in the air, several people's equipment could not bear the weight of two people and was directly scrapped.
Fortunately, the height had dropped low enough, and everyone finally landed safely on the ground.
However, among the twenty or so people, there were only a few left with intact equipment.
But it was not until then that these Flying Ninjas had time to look at the huge waves of golden sand that covered the sky.
"This doesn't seem to be directed at us."
At this time, the huge waves of golden sand had risen to a height of tens of meters, and they were like a tsunami, rushing towards the Konoha convoy with great momentum.
Kono said with a somewhat bitter look.
"Yes, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure. We should have just been affected."
Everyone heard endless reluctance and a deep sense of powerlessness in Kono's words, because they had the same thought at the moment.
Unexpectedly, just an unintentional impact almost wiped out their group of more than 20 flying ninjas.
They don't know who was mumbling, but it expressed the thoughts of everyone.
Of course, they actually misjudged Rasa's strength.
After all, the special glider of the Kirigakure flying unit was originally made of an alloy with very good magnetic properties in order to be able to use the ship-borne catapult device more efficiently.
The 'Magnetic Style: Gold Sand' that Rasa possesses also uses magnetic force to gather and control the gold sand to attack.
Those tiny gold sands floating in the air that were out of Rasa's control due to the long distance were supposed to be gathering towards the 'Gold Sand Funeral', but they ended up being directly attached to everyone's metal equipment halfway.
The reason why successive Kazekage of the Sunagakure Village always restrained the puppet troops in their village was because these controlled tiny grains of sand could easily interfere with and destroy puppets with complex structures, causing the puppeteer to lose their combat effectiveness.
It is not surprising that the metal equipment of the flying unit malfunctioned and became scrapped directly after being attached with gold sand.
Of course, the so-called being affected and wiped out was a misunderstanding of the flying ninjas.
However, the tens of meters high golden sand waves in the distance are real, and the shock they bring to everyone should not be underestimated.
Just when these flying ninjas were looking at the incomparable huge waves in despair and thought that the Konoha troops were doomed to die.
A huge cloud of white smoke exploded.
A giant toad as big as a mountain stood in front of the golden sand tsunami.
