It appeared to be floating in the air, but in reality, it was extremely stable due to the magnetic field's restraint.
As the Iron Sand Boy watched Hitomi slash down with his sword, his expression changed, and the iron spheres surged, rapidly taking shape.
Hitomi's sword struck it, but the hard Iron Sand firmly blocked it.
In the air, Hitomi, with no leverage, began to fall. Seeing this, the surrounding Iron Sand surged, transforming into sharp, long spikes, which then turned and aimed at Hitomi's figure.
"Die!"
A dense barrage of Iron Sand spikes covered the area, shooting downwards.
At the same time, Hitomi, in mid-air, began to spin rapidly.
Secret Sword: Revolving Heaven Sword Dance
The flying spikes were all knocked away.
Hitomi then landed on the ground.
The Iron Sand didn't give up, still trying to pursue.
Just then, a fiery meteor in the sky fiercely collided with the iron sphere in mid-air.
Subsequently, the entire fiery meteor began to burn intensely, its outer flames turning a brilliant white.
A storm raged around it.
The attacking Iron Sand formations melted under the high temperature.
High temperature demagnetizes.
Inside the iron sphere, the temperature began to rise sharply. Feeling his control over the Iron Sand gradually slipping, the Iron Sand Boy's face changed drastically.
The Iron Sand sphere burst open, and in the first instant, the Iron Sand Boy instantly appeared from within it.
The surrounding Iron Sand flew up, following him, and quickly formed a pair of Iron Sand wings on his back.
Naori did not pursue.
This guy was clearly being countered by her.
However, Naori wanted to observe the Magnet Release carefully.
The fiery meteor flew up, then swooped down to land beside Hitomi in mid-air. Naori asked, "Are you alright?"
"How could I be?" Hitomi said from the air. "Stay away from me, it's scorching hot."
"Mhm," Naori responded, flying away, then turning in the air to directly attack the Iron Sand Boy in the sky.
This guy!
The Iron Sand Boy looked at Naori with a solemn expression. Someone could actually develop Fire Release to this extent!
How did he manage not to be burned to death in the flames?
But! This was troublesome!
The Iron Sand Boy began to ascend, flapping his wings, sending an endless stream of short Iron Sand spikes directly at the flying fiery meteor.
The fiery meteor dodged while rapidly closing the distance.
On the ground, Hitomi watched the aerial battle and muttered under his breath, "Can this even be called a Shinobi battle? Naori is a monster, but even the Hidden Sand Village has such a monster?"
Then, Hitomi looked at the giant fan girl floating in the distance.
He flipped and landed steadily on the ground.
That guy was watching the battle from afar.
Go, Big Brother Black Sand! Don't lose!
The girl tightly clasped her hands together and held them to her chest in prayer.
Hitomi ignored her, mainly because he couldn't reach her.
In the air, Naori was fiercely battling the opponent, the Three Tomoe spinning rapidly in her eyes.
Then, she quickly formed hand signs with one hand, continuously spewing out a fierce torrent of flames.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation
A massive sea of fire instantly formed in the air. As the fiery meteor rapidly circled, the Fire Release continued to be expelled while moving.
The flames could move very quickly.
Especially with the enhancement of Wind Release.
As Naori continued to spew flames, the brilliant white firelight intensified, and the temperature further began to rise.
Damn it!
Controlling the Iron Sand was becoming difficult!
Within the raging flames, the Iron Sand Boy, covered in scorch marks, continuously flapped his wings. In his perception, the Iron Sand outside was losing connection amidst the great fire.
From the outside, one could see scattered crimson stardust filling the sky.
That was melting and demagnetized Iron Sand falling.
The Iron Sand Boy stared intently at the fiery meteor, which was vaguely visible as it flew rapidly outside the sea of fire.
Where did this monster come from!
He was spewing Fire Release, creating a continuous sea of fire in the air where there was no root.
If this continued, he would be burned to death!
Moreover, this aerial terrain was too disadvantageous for him.
Although he could fly, his most suitable battlefield was the ground.
But if he landed...
That guy was also not to be underestimated!
Damn it!
Where did this monster come from!
The Iron Sand wings enveloped his body, then he manipulated the magnetic force to propel himself out of the sea of fire.
Immediately after, he spread his wings and rushed towards the ground.
He still chose the battlefield most advantageous to himself.
A bit interesting.
The Three Tomoe spun. Naori observed his method of using Magnet Release.
That just now was magnetic field propulsion, similar to her Kunai throwing technique, which allowed him to fly very fast.
But at high speeds, it was difficult to control turns.
Because he didn't have fast enough reflexes to react.
Naori stopped spewing Fire Release, then pursued, diving downwards.
As Hitomi watched the falling iron bird, the corner of his mouth curled up. He quickly ran to the landing spot, raising his sword to aim at the opponent.
Want to come down?
No way!
Secret Sword: Blue Tip
A point of cold light shot out rapidly from the sword tip.
It pierced through the opponent diagonally.
As blood spurted, the Iron Sand Boy fiercely continued his dive.
Seeing this, Hitomi swung his arm horizontally, attempting to cut the opponent.
But the Chakra blade was firmly stuck.
His Byakugan saw that where the Iron Sand Boy's left arm was broken, Iron Sand covered and tightly bound the blade.
He's quite decisive.
But do you think my swordsmanship is only this level?
Don't be so naive!
The next second, Chakra instantly transmitted through the blade, rushing into the Iron Sand Boy's body.
Striking vital points!
This was the principle of that move.
Chakra erupted within his body.
Secret Sword: Fierce Flame
This was a swordsmanship that attacked internal organs.
The Iron Sand Boy spat out a large mouthful of blood, then hovered.
He was already very close to the ground.
The hand signs were already complete.
It was enough.
"Iron Sand Realm Method!!!"
The Iron Sand Boy roared, and then the ground beneath him surged. Endless, continuous Iron Sand emerged from underground, rising into the air.
Naori, who was pursuing, stopped in mid-air.
Hitomi felt the Chakra blade in his hand lighten, then he withdrew his swordsmanship.
Because a tsunami of Iron Sand erupted from deep underground.
As far as the eye could see, it was all dark Iron Sand, towering up to block out the sky and sun, flowing and spreading in all directions.
Not to mention being crushed to death if submerged, if even a little of this Iron Sand touched you, it would be fatal.
Iron Sand would invade the human body and cause lethal damage.
Hitomi continuously retreated.
He dodged the Iron Sand's coverage area.
Moments later, a giant Iron Sand serpent rapidly formed, opening its massive iron-basin mouth.
Inside, electric light flashed.
Then, a brilliant white plasma column shot out from its mouth.
The violent plasma swept the ground, targeting Hitomi.
Hitomi plunged his sword into the ground, the blade extending, constantly lifting Hitomi high into the air.
Hitomi looked at this giant black Iron Sand serpent. At this moment, that guy was hidden inside the serpent's belly.
The Iron Sand serpent writhed, roaring at the sky. The surrounding Iron Sand floated around it like mist. Then, the Iron Sand serpent turned its head and rushed towards the giant fan girl in the air.
It leaped from the ground into the air, opened its huge mouth to swallow the girl, then spun rapidly, plunging headfirst into the ground.
Amidst a series of dull drilling sounds, the great serpent rapidly burrowed underground.
It then quickly retreated in the direction it came from.
Hitomi looked at the fiery meteor flying not far from him and said, "He ran away."
"I saw him," Naori replied.
"Why aren't you chasing?" Hitomi asked.
"You see how much Chakra I have left," Naori said. "I'm running out of oxygen too."
"How useless," Hitomi said.
"I killed thirty, what about you?" Naori said.
Ten.
Hitomi didn't say anything.
"How useless," Naori said lightly.
Hitomi didn't say anything.
Is that all?
Glancing at Hitomi, Naori deactivated the Uchiha style, free-falling from the air and gracefully landing.
Hitomi followed, leaping down and crashing heavily onto the ground, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear under his feet.
"That Iron Sand kid is really annoying," Hitomi said.
Because the ground was a bit numb.
Hitomi pushed back his hood, constantly pressing down on his spiky, hedgehog-like hair.
"How are you fine?" Hitomi asked.
"Fire Release perm," Naori replied.
In reality, Naori had self-contained electrical resistance, and the high temperature blocked the current.
Hitomi looked at Naori suspiciously.
Naori, meanwhile, looked in the direction where the Iron Sand Boy had left.
"So scary..."
Hearing this, Hitomi rolled his Byakugan.
