The Third Kazekage stared at Hyuga Arin with a dark expression.
"You will pay for what you've done."
"What's the point of talking now?" Arin raised his hand.
All flaming arrows instantly shifted direction—
Aimed directly at the Kazekage.
"Survive first. Then we'll talk."
With a wave of his hand—
The arrows surged forward.
The first wave broke through the damage threshold.
The second wave followed immediately—
Attempting to annihilate him completely.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Explosions swallowed the Kazekage.
Shockwaves spread outward in layers.
Only after consuming nearly half his flaming arrows did Arin stop.
The ground had melted into magma.
As the flames faded—
A black iron sphere appeared.
Molten iron dripped down its surface.
"As expected of the Third Kazekage… forming a defense that fast."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two long iron spikes shot out from the sphere.
One pierced Arin—
But his body faded away.
A mere afterimage.
The other—
Pierced straight through the fox demon's forehead.
"AAARGH!!"
The fox let out a miserable cry—
Dragged into the sky by the spike.
But it didn't die—
Only screamed in pain.
"Useless as always," Arin sighed.
He dismissed the summon.
The fox faded like a phantom.
The iron sphere slowly opened—
Revealing the completely unharmed Kazekage.
Arin felt a hint of disappointment.
"Now it's my turn," the Kazekage said coldly, forming hand seals.
In an instant—
Iron sand surged out like an ocean—
Completely covering him.
It condensed into countless fine needles—
All aimed at Arin.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!"
The needles shot forward.
Arin waved his hand.
"Fire Release: Blazing Arrow Barrage – Unlimited Firepower!"
Flaming arrows met iron needles midair.
Black ocean vs. sea of fire.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Explosions erupted endlessly.
Like two seas colliding—
Unable to merge—
Only destroying each other.
But—
Arin was losing ground.
The black tide pushed forward.
The fire was suppressed.
His arrows dwindled.
"…You Kage really are ridiculous."
The black sea overwhelmed the flames—
Instantly piercing his body.
But instead of shattering—
He turned into fire.
Arin reappeared behind the iron sand—
But the moment he landed—
He sensed danger.
He looked down.
Iron sand had already gathered beneath his feet.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Crush."
Iron sand wrapped around him—
Magnetic force locking his body in place.
Swish!
He barely escaped using a flame substitution.
Floating midair—
One of his legs twisted unnaturally.
"Level up."
Name: I'm Arin
Class: Hunter
Subclass: Doctor
Level: 54 (0/101500)
"…Annoying opponent."
His body fully recovered.
Below—
The Kazekage stood unmoved.
Iron sand gathered again—
Forming spikes—
Shooting upward.
Arin was forced to constantly substitute—
Unable to counterattack.
"…Guess I'll have to use my brain."
"Brain Boost—Activate!"
The world sharpened instantly.
Every movement of iron sand—
Fully predicted.
He spread his flame wings—
Stopped using substitution—
And instead relied on flight—
Dodging precisely.
"…Changed tactics?" the Kazekage muttered.
Arin now avoided attacks effortlessly.
Wrapped in blue-black flames—
Even faster.
"…Then I'll restrict his speed."
At that moment—
Arin glanced at him.
The Sharingan on his forehead opened.
Three tomoe spun.
The Kazekage's pupils shrank.
"Sharingan?!"
Why would a Hyuga have that?!
And on his forehead?!
"…Like the Sage of Six Paths…"
He immediately looked away—
And dispelled genjutsu.
The world shifted—
Iron spikes were already inches from him.
"Rotation: Fire Spark!"
Arin spun midair—
Wrapped in flames—
Turning into a blazing sphere—
Crashing down.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wall!"
A thick wall blocked it.
Only sparks scattered.
Swish!
The Kazekage sensed danger behind him—
Raised his hand.
The iron shell around him suddenly grew spikes inward.
Arin vanished again—
Only a flame left behind.
The Kazekage's pupils shrank.
BOOM!!!
The flame exploded.
On a skyscraper—
The Kazekage landed.
"Thunder Breathing—First Form: Thunderclap Flash!"
A streak of lightning—
Mixed with flame—
Slashed across him.
Too fast to follow.
He was blasted backward—
Midair, he turned—
Reached toward Arin.
Iron sand at his neck fell away—
He had barely blocked it.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Tsunami!"
A massive black wave surged—
Engulfing Arin's position.
Swish!
A flaming blade descended from above.
The Kazekage sidestepped.
Arin's strike missed—
But his eyes tracked instantly.
"…Your methods never end," the Kazekage sneered.
Iron sand filled the battlefield—
Allowing him to detect everything.
"I've got you."
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method!"
All iron sand linked together—
Forming a domain of iron.
The Kazekage stood atop a spear of iron sand—
Looking down coldly at Arin.
