Kazekage's Magnet Release
Seeing Chen Xing effortlessly shatter more than a dozen gold constructs, the Fourth Kazekage's eyes narrowed. His hands formed seals at high speed.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Flow Wall!"
In an instant, gold dust surged upward, condensing into a thick metallic barrier directly in front of him.
Clang!
Chen Xing's lightning-charged blade slashed across the wall, carving deep grooves and scattering sparks, but it failed to break through.
At that moment, Chen Xing's voice sounded from behind.
"Wind Release!"
The Sword of the Thunder God vanished as Chen Xing rapidly formed hand seals. A light-blue wind blade condensed in midair and shot forward like lightning, striking the same point on the gold wall.
Bang!
The layered Wind Release tore through the weakened section, slicing open the defense and continuing straight toward the Kazekage.
"Hmph."
The Fourth Kazekage raised his arm, gold dust flowing instantly to intercept the attack.
"Trying to kill me with this?" he said coldly. "You're far too naïve."
The gold dust surged toward Chen Xing like a living mass.
Boom!
Chen Xing sidestepped effortlessly, his body flickering as he countered with a lightning-fast kick, dispersing the incoming gold sand.
Before the Kazekage could react, Chen Xing reappeared at close range. The Sword of the Thunder God flashed.
Slash!
A gold construct split cleanly in two, scattering dust across the battlefield.
The Fourth Kazekage's pupils shrank.
Chen Xing followed up instantly, driving his fist forward.
Bang!
Though the Kazekage blocked, the sheer force sent him flying backward.
"This kid…" he thought grimly. "His physical strength is abnormal."
Chen Xing gave him no time to recover.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive fireball erupted from Chen Xing's mouth, over ten meters wide. The heat distorted the air as it roared forward.
"Tch."
The Fourth Kazekage slammed his hands together. Gold dust surged up, forming a massive shield.
Boom!!!
Flames exploded outward as the shield held.
As the smoke cleared, gold dust continued pouring from the ground, spreading rapidly across the battlefield and coating the terrain.
Chen Xing glanced down and immediately leapt away, landing beyond the affected area.
"So you're restricting movement," he said calmly.
The Fourth Kazekage's voice was cold.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Wave!"
The gold dust surged like a metallic tsunami, sweeping forward with crushing force. Several unfortunate ninja caught at the edges were instantly crushed and absorbed into the mass.
Chen Xing snorted.
"You think this can catch me?"
He leapt into the air, lightning flickering as he slashed downward repeatedly, carving open paths through the advancing wave.
At the same time, he swung his blade, sending dozens of lightning-infused slashes toward the Kazekage.
The Fourth Kazekage immediately condensed another gold wall, blocking the attacks while reshaping the dust into countless sharp projectiles that fired toward Chen Xing.
Chen Xing blurred between them.
"Wind Release: Chaotic Storm!"
A compressed wind blade formed instantly and shot forward.
The Fourth Kazekage raised his defense—
—but a purple lightning flash appeared directly in front of him.
Chen Xing had already closed the distance.
Bang!
A powerful kick sent the Kazekage flying.
At the same moment, the wind blade struck.
Slash!
Several "Kazekage" figures were cut apart—only to collapse into piles of gold dust.
Chen Xing wasn't surprised.
"A substitution with gold dust," he said calmly. "Your reaction speed is impressive."
The real Fourth Kazekage emerged behind him, eyes icy.
"Is that all you've got?"
Chen Xing exhaled slowly.
"Warm-up's over."
He rolled his shoulders, joints cracking audibly, then formed seals at blinding speed.
"Peacock Form!"
In the Kazekage's shocked gaze, an enormous purple chakra avatar erupted around Chen Xing.
Its wings spread wide, spanning over twenty meters. Razor-sharp feathers gleamed with killing intent, its long tail flowing behind it like a banner of destruction.
A pressure far beyond ordinary chakra flooded the battlefield.
The Fourth Kazekage's expression finally turned solemn.
"A chakra construct…" he muttered.
Not just any construct—
—but something far more terrifying.
