Pakura was equally successful melting gold with his Shikuto, forming streams of gold on the floor when the balls came in contact with the glittering sand, or simply making it viscous and hard to control.
Jiton with any metal is very deadly against ordinary shinobi in almost any quantity as long as the user has chakra, but against equal level or stronger fighters who have the ability to counterattack, it's more of a limiter and Rasa understood it perfectly well. And he waited for a very definite event - the appearance of help.
Not even a dozen moments after the Fourth Kazekage's thunderous shout, the ceramic-masked figures began to rush into the hall one after another and immediately attacked us, reducing the pressure on the enemy.
Pakura didn't relent, only glancing at me briefly, but I had to do it for two, stopping and using one sword hand to swing away from the golden sand that was trying to surround and squeeze or at least immobilize me, and the other to release a dozen golden chains to block the barriers of my futon ninjutsu.
Three instantly created clones drove away the masked men with strong blows, though not to the point of breaking, but providing a great bruises in the near future, and the self-moving shadow caught not careful attackers.
And if at first it wasn't too much trouble, after a short time, the ever-increasing number of Anbu-nin made him tense up and turn most of his attention to them, not to Rasa.
He couldn't kill them for diplomatic reasons - he had already gotten himself all over the place - but judging by the speed of the new reinforcements, Anbu's headquarters was somewhere close by, and very soon, the entire available contingent could be in the hall!
- Stand down! - The dark-haired counselor shouted, amplifying his voice with chakra. - The Kazekage has been found guilty by the Council of betraying the interests of the village to fulfill his own personal goals!
- Witness!" the jonin next to him exclaimed, who hadn't made a move when the trouble started. - When Rasa was accused of abuse of power and betrayal, he attacked the people around him and killed several counselors and two Anbu who were nearby! Look at the bodies and their condition!
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the shinobi pointing to the mutilated corpses of those who had died from Rasa's first attack, with literally shrunken skin and flesh appearing from beneath the golden sand that had mostly centered on us.
The two dozen Anbu froze for a moment, reassessing the situation with the new input, and focused on the bodies.
- Don't listen to him, Pakura has been sniffing around Konoha and, with the approval of the Council of Elders, is bent on killing me! - Rasa tried to remedy the situation.
And he succeeded - although most of the Anbushniki stopped and chose not to interfere, some of their comrades continued to attack me and the girl I was covering, who inexorably pressed through the enemy's kekkei genkai, getting closer and closer. Unfortunately, this fact was crucial to the new Anbu that appeared every second without hearing the Elder's voice.
