Chapter 057: Minato Arrives

Konoha's medical-level was recognized in the shinobi world as the best. As early as the battle started, Rasa realized that to defeat Konoha, he must first destroy Konoha's medic team.

After joining the battlefield, Rasa started little by little moving towards Konoha medic team without showing any obvious traces.

Because in the previous battles, his missions have been such as assassinations and sabotage carried out in small teams, so Rasa had never used a large-scale ninjutsu. Konoha also only had incomplete information on Rasa's prowess based on his performance in battle and speculation on the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand.

But gold dust was different from iron sand. Rasa could make large amounts of gold dust in correspondence to a favorable terrain, and he had ninjutsu that specialized in wide and large range of destruction.

Before Rasa approached the position of Konoha medic team, a team of elite squadron from Sunagakure had already probed the defense of Konoha's medic team. Rasa had been paying attention to the movement of Konoha's medic team, and it was now you decided to attack as he felt that he had an understanding of the defense force provided to the medic team.

The strength of gold dust was reflected in its wide coverage. When Rasa saw the medical-nin of Konoha seemed to have noticed his movements, and were about to prepare to withdraw, Rasa didn't hesitate any longer, and made hand seals with both hands and unleashed the largest-scale ninjutsu he had. 

[Magnet Style ∙ Gold Dust Tsunami]

A large amount of gold dust tumbled from the ground, rolling like a heaven overflowing giant wave in the direction of the Konoha's medic team, attacking all the ninjas in its vicinity.

Under the coverage of such a large-scale ninjutsu, whether it was the ninjas of Konoha or the ninjas of Sunagakure, they weren't able to escape its range. They could only look at it and then look at themselves helplessly being drowned by a large amount of gold dust and unable do anything to stop it.

"Run!" Asahi loudly roared. At this time, there was no way to help other people. He ran quickly to the distance at his fastest speed. 

Gold dust covered the entirety of the camp like a giant wave. Wherever it passed, countless ninjas were swallowed in gold dust, and even the earth was trembling. At this time, it was impossible to use Earth-style to dive into the earth and escape. Asahi could only continue to run. At his top speed, he hoped that he could run out of the range of this ninjutsu.

Still the movement speed of this jutsu was very fast, and unsurprisingly, the speed of his two legs could not be compared with the speed of gold dust. Soon Asahi was caught up with gold dust. He could only gather chakra on the soles of his feet to break free of the shackles of gold dust. He was doing his best to run away from the gold dust.

'The current objective of the gold dust should only be to suppress, or restrict the captives. The next part should be squeezing them to death, and I must be out of the scope of gold dust before Rasa's next wave of ninjutsu arrives.' Asahi secretly said in his heart, at the same time a more powerful chakra erupted from his body.

"Save me... save me... please..." A Konoha ninja was being grabbed by gold dust and pulled back continuously. 

Asahi ignored the ninja directly, but in order to help him, Asahi threw a kunai to his throat and ended his life in order to spare him of any unnecessary pain. 

The gold dust that was catching up to him only covered his feet, and the huge waves of gold dust were just behind him. At this time, choosing to save people was tantamount to death. Unless he had a ninjutsu that could be used to fight the gold dust, ordinary ninjas could not resist this move at all. 

The only positive thing now was that Rasa could only control gold dust, not ordinary sand.

After all, the amount of gold dust was way less than ordinary sand. If Rasa could control ordinary sand like Gaara, then Asahi didn't have to run at all, he just had to wait for himself to be swallowed up by the sand.

When the gold dust finally stopped rolling, Asahi laid on the ground all of a sudden, and his heart that was almost stuck on his throat fell back to its place.

"I finally escaped…"

The tumbling gold dust finally stopped, and some non-injured ninjas popped out of the gold dust, relieved, and seemed to thank god for keeping them alive.

The movement made by Rasa had attracted the attention of the entire battlefield. Seeing that most of the ninjas have survived, many people sighed in relief. 

"Hahahaha! This jutsu looks good, but isn't the power behind it just plain weak?" A ninja dismissed. 

Seeing that a large number of ninjas were swallowed by gold dust, Rasa inserted one hand into the gold dust with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth and the other hand made a hand seal in front of his chest. 

[Magnet Style ∙ Gold Dust Funeral] 

As soon as the ninjutsu was performed, the gold dust started rumbling again. 

Unlike before, this time the gold dust did not expand its scope anymore, but continued to rumble and dragged anyone still standing on the range of his jutsu. A ninja, who was in the scope of gold dust, was feeling fortunate that he had survived the first attack. Then he was swallowed again by countless gold dust tendrils, and then squeezed into a meat paste by the gold dust.

A thick bloody smell spread on the battlefield. Although on the battlefield there were already a lot of people dying, there was nothing till now like the cruelty of squeezing the flesh and blood of people.

*Shou*

*Shou*

*Shou*

At this moment, a large number of kunai fell from the sky, covering all around Rasa. There were several sand ninjas who were responsible for protecting Rasa, and many of them were slightly injured due to their carelessness. 

"What's the situation?"

"Do they think this level of kunai throwing can kill people?" A sand ninja scoffed with a smile. 

This kind of kunai attacks didn't seem to even be aimed at people at all. Many of the kunai were just stuck on the ground. Except for a few low level sand genin that carelessly got wounded by the kunai, no one else was injured. 

"Ah!" 

A scream rang, and an unlucky sand ninja got his throat cut in a split in just a second, but the other sand ninjas didn't even see the attacker's shadow. 

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Ahh...!" 

Countless screams came and went, and only the silhouette of Minato's golden hair continued to shine in the crowd, with a kunai in his hand, he cut the throats of one person after another, or pierced their hearts. 

With each flash, Minato had reaped at least one life. 

Now he's like the most skilled farmer who was harvesting ripe fruits, the killing power and his terrifying efficiency was amazing. 

[Magnet Style ∙ Gold Dust Shuriken] 

Rasa controlled gold dust to try to capture Minato, while also using it to create a large number of shuriken to attack him.

A sharp light flashed on Minato's face, and he retracted the half-stretched kunai, giving up the kill that he almost got, and disappeared again with a flash.

Rasa's response was also fast. When Minato's silhouette appeared again, he immediately controlled the gold dust and moved it towards Minato. 

However, Minato's action was even faster this time, he quickly threw a kunai and nailing it to the throat of a sand ninja, and then with a flicker he disappeared again, making Rasa's powerful gold dust technique hit nothing but the air, even Minato's shadow wasn't touched by the gold dust.
