-------------------------------------------------------------

The moon was already hanging high in the night sky. The peaceful and soft moonlight shone down on the forest below, but it could not calm the escalating battle.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" 

Suddenly, bright flames ignited in a part of the forest, and countless plumes of smoke scattered the trees!

As the smoke cleared, the scene was a mess, with the large trees around already uprooted and broken by the intense gusts of the previous attacks. The ground was covered in deep, jagged cracks, and shattered rocks littered the area, evidence of the ferocity of the battle.

"Hah, this guy is really troublesome!" Hiding behind the trunk of a tree, Jiraiya was panting heavily. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and dust covered his body, making him look quite disheveled.

Hearing his words, Tsunade, who was also breathing heavily nearby, narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "Next time we attack, create an opening for me. If I can get close to him, I can end this in one strike!"

Jiraiya blinked, as if a plan had come to mind.

At a distance, Rasa stood with a serious expression atop a floating cloud of gold dust. A blackened wound marred his right leg, and his clothes were in tatters. The Sand Ninjas who had been with him had already been killed by Jiraiya and his companions in the earlier battle.

His dark eyes squinted slightly as he scanned the trees below, muttering, "Is this the power of the Legendary Sannin? They're really tough... If I'm not careful, I might die here."

With that, he formed hand seals and softly chanted,

"Earth Release: Sandstone Flow!" As he moved, the already ruined ground trembled once again. The rocks on the surface began to shift, and the soil transformed into thick mud, flowing like a tidal wave in all directions.

"Shhh—Shhh—" The quicksand continued to rush outward as Rasa, perched on his golden sand, closed his eyes tightly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Suddenly, his eyes shot open, and his gaze sharpened. 

"Found them!" 

Below, Jiraiya and his team wore grim expressions as the sand reached their ankles. Jiraiya muttered under his breath, "This guy can change the terrain over such a large area!"

Just as the words left his mouth, his pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly shouted, 

"Watch out!"

At Jiraiya's shout, Tsunade leaped backward in alert, and Jiraiya did the same.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" 

In the next moment, countless golden shuriken bombarded the spot where they had just stood!

From midair, Rasa frowned and muttered, 

"This isn't over yet."

His hands formed another strange seal, and he shouted, "Magnet Release: Gold Dust Burial!"

With his words, the golden shuriken disintegrated into a torrent of gold dust, rushing madly toward the retreating Tsunade and Jiraiya! At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared next to Jiraiya.

"Whoosh!" 

The two vanished from the spot, and then the figure reappeared beside Tsunade.

"Whoosh!"

Both disappeared!

Seeing Tsunade and Jiraiya vanish from sight, Rasa's expression darkened.

On a tree branch in the distance, Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the figure in front of her, 

"You can use the Flying Thunder God Technique?!"

Jiraiya, standing nearby, grinned widely and laughed, 

"Haha, Tsunade, surprised? Minato here has an incredible talent for time-space jutsu!"

After saying that, he patted Minato on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Thanks to you, Minato. I didn't expect you could already use the Flying Thunder God with passengers!"

Minato smiled wryly at Jiraiya's words, 

"Jiraiya-sensei, I can only barely manage it. My chakra isn't enough to teleport people multiple times."

Jiraiya's face turned serious. 

"Don't worry, once is enough. All you need to do is get Tsunade close to Rasa. One strike, and she can finish him off!"

Hearing Jiraiya's plan, Tsunade's eyes sparkled, and she nodded firmly.

Minato thought carefully, then nodded as well, speaking softly, "Alright, hold on to me. Tsunade-senpai, Jiraiya-sensei, you'll need to distract him a bit. I'm worried he might dodge my kunai."

Jiraiya nodded heavily and said seriously, "Don't worry. I'll create the perfect opening for you!"

With that, he dashed into the distance.

Watching him leave, both Tsunade and Minato clenched their fists tightly. "Jiraiya-sensei, you have to succeed!"

While this fierce battle was going on...

More and more Iwa Ninjas were dying under the counterattack of the Konoha forces.

"Konoha: Strong Fist Whirlwind!" 

With a shout, a young man in a green bodysuit spun powerfully in midair, his legs delivering a fierce spinning kick!

"Bang!" "Bang!" 

Several figures were sent flying, crashing heavily into the thick tree trunks, motionless.

"This... Is this guy a monster?!" One Iwa Ninja trembled in fear.

"He's like a beast... Even if we all attack him at once, I don't think we can handle him!" Another Iwa Ninja said in terror as he backed away.

The young man turned around, his thick mustache above his lips, bushy eyebrows raised, and his wide eyes glaring at them. 

"You Rock Ninjas... You've been deceiving Sōsuke, haven't you?!"

The Iwa Ninjas were shocked, their mouths agape.

Is... is this guy just making stuff up?

Seeing no answer, the rugged young man scolded them, "No matter what, since you deceived Sōsuke and attacked Konoha, you'll stay here!"

Without waiting for their response, he lunged forward.

"Hyaah! Konoha: Rising Rock Fist!"

"No... no... Stay away!!" 

Like a green blur, the young man rushed at the remaining Iwa Ninjas, his elbows flying so fast they left afterimages.

Under his fierce assault, the Iwa Ninjas had no chance to retaliate and were quickly defeated.

Standing on the ground, the man lowered his head, then suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with determination as he gazed into the distance. 

"Sousuke, no matter what, I will bring you back!!"

With those words, he rushed off into the distance!

However, if someone were watching from the sky, they would see that the direction he was running was the opposite of where Aizen was...
