[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an A-rank item: Summoning Beast Summon Card (Powerful Attack Type).]
"Telescope Technique?"
Rasa's eyes brightened.
This ninjutsu could not be called powerful, but it was extremely convenient to use.
With a crystal ball as the medium, one could observe the situation inside the village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi often used this ninjutsu to observe the state of the village. It was said that the place Hiruzen Sarutobi loved watching most was Konoha's bathhouses.
Rasa had no such hobby.
However, possessing this ninjutsu meant he could better grasp the internal situation of Sunagakure.
"A very practical ninjutsu."
Rasa looked at the previous reward again.
Saxaul seeds. There was nothing much to say about that. Saxaul was an economic plant relatively suited to desert regions.
"As for the Summoning Beast Summon Card…"
Including this one, Rasa had already drawn four Summoning Beast Summon Cards.
One powerful support type, one powerful endurance type, and two powerful attack types.
Among the three summoned beasts already summoned, Rasa was most satisfied with the Yatagarasu.
The chameleon also had its uses, but its color-changing camouflage ability had a flaw similar to Gekkō Hayate's Transparent Release.
It could only be used for surprise attacks against shinobi whose sensory abilities were not that strong.
As for the giant bull, it could only be said to be better than nothing.
Once the mechanized sand ships were built, the giant bull's current work would basically lose all meaning.
But Rasa still looked forward to this powerful attack-type summoning beast.
In a flash, Rasa arrived outside the village.
All around him stretched desert.
Now, when using a Summoning Beast Summon Card, Rasa no longer needed to consider having others assist him.
He alone was enough.
With numerous S-rank ninjutsu, along with twenty percent Otsutsuki bloodline, Rasa did not think any summoning beast could be his opponent.
"Summon!"
The next moment, white light flashed from the card.
Immediately afterward, a huge figure rushed out.
The instant it appeared, it charged straight at Rasa with extreme ferocity. Drool dripped from the corners of its mouth, making it look deeply intimidating.
And it had more than one head.
Many heads grew from the same neck.
"Cerberus!"
Rasa's expression changed.
A mass of gold dust immediately condensed, blocking in front of him.
Bang!
The Cerberus crashed into it violently.
But Rasa had already used that brief moment to pull away.
A mass of gold dust floated beneath Rasa's feet, carrying him into the air.
The Cerberus's attacks were certainly powerful.
But if they could not hit him, then they could not hit him.
"Roar!"
A series of snarls rang out.
The Cerberus stared fixedly at Rasa, its eyes gleaming with vicious light.
Rasa recalled the information about the Cerberus.
The Animal Path of Pain had summoned one when attacking Konoha. Aside from its extremely fierce offensive ability, it also possessed a very special ability.
Even when suffering a fatal attack, it would not truly die.
Instead, it would split.
One became two.
Two became four.
It continued until the Animal Path was defeated.
However, the Cerberus before him was not something summoned by someone else.
It had been summoned through a Summon Card.
Even if Rasa tore the card apart, there would be no effect.
"However, splitting has a limit. The foundation of everything is chakra. No matter how powerful a shinobi is, without chakra, they cannot use ninjutsu. Summoning beasts are the same."
"In other words, this splitting dog cannot be killed. It can only be exhausted."
Suddenly, the splitting dog bent its hind legs sharply, and in the next instant, it leapt up. Its bloody maw opened wide, aiming straight for Rasa.
"It can actually jump this high?"
"But it's useless."
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Cube!"
A cube formed from gold dust appeared directly above the splitting dog.
Under the pull of enormous gravity, it dropped fiercely.
Dong!
The splitting dog was struck head-on.
Rasa looked down at the splitting dog below and raised his brow slightly.
"If we're going to fight a battle of attrition, then you can test my ninjutsu perfectly."
"Sand Soldier Manifestation!"
With a thought from Rasa, more than twenty figures immediately appeared below.
They were all exquisite-looking sand soldiers, and each individual soldier's strength had already reached jonin level.
"Kill!"
At Rasa's command, the sand soldiers rushed toward the splitting dog.
Each held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other.
The splitting dog did not dodge at all. It took the attacks head-on.
The battle turned into pure slaughter.
No dodging.
No blocking.
Only attacks.
Blood sprayed outward.
The splitting dog's blood carried an especially foul stench, causing Rasa to involuntarily cover his mouth and nose.
Seeing the wounds on the splitting dog grow more and more numerous and its injuries become more and more serious—
The next moment, the splitting dog seemed to be torn apart by invisible hands.
But no blood flowed.
Instead, it became two complete dogs.
After splitting, the splitting dogs became even more ferocious.
Rasa raised a hand and pointed at one of them.
"Grant S!"
Then he pointed at the other splitting dog.
"Grant N!"
Immediately, a tremendous attractive force erupted between the two splitting dogs.
Bang!
Under the pull of that force, the splitting dogs were dragged constantly toward each other.
They struggled with all their might, trying to break free from the attraction.
But they could not do it.
They could only watch helplessly as the two of themselves drew closer and closer.
They had no spare strength to attack the sand soldiers nearby.
A smile appeared on Rasa's face.
"The effect is quite good."
"Judging by the chakra invested, this result is much stronger than directly using Magnet Release gold dust to control them."
The splitting dogs seemed to quickly realize this point as well.
If they wanted to break free from this force, they would have no way to deal with the sand soldiers' attacks.
Therefore, the splitting dogs indeed stopped resisting the force and allowed it to pull their two bodies together.
The two bodies moved while pressed tightly against each other.
But first, that undoubtedly increased the difficulty of control.
Second, Rasa still had many methods he had yet to use.
Just as the splitting dogs had barely adapted to the state of two bodies being magnetically attracted together—
"Grant S."
One sand soldier was granted S.
At once, two forces appeared between the splitting dogs and the sand soldier.
One was attraction.
The other was repulsion.
The splitting dogs chased after that sand soldier, but the closer they got, the stronger the repulsive force became. They could not catch it at all.
However, when the splitting dogs turned and the other dog faced the sand soldier—
The repulsive force instantly became attraction.
The splitting dog bared its teeth in a grin and opened its bloody maw.
But the sand soldier also raised the long spear in its hand.
Puchi!
The spear stabbed viciously into the splitting dog's mouth.
The next moment—
The splitting dog split again.
