Losing ground against a foe who wields iron sand through magnetism, Naruto gets an unexpected rescue when Hinata joins the fight and spots the one weakness his power cannot hide.
Main Characters (6)
Summary
Naruto is being worn down in his struggle against Jiga when Hinata reaches the battlefield. Her opening strikes fail to leave a mark, but she works out that the enemy's magnetism doubles as his vulnerability. Turning her Byakugan and Gentle Fist against his chakra flow, she disrupts his control so completely that he can no longer switch off his own magnetism, and he is dragged beneath a churning storm of iron sand until it buries him alive.
Key Events
Naruto pulls Hinata free of the swirling sand before it can claim her as well. With both Hinata and Yurinojō too hurt to keep fighting, he presses on alone to reach the princess. The situation turns again when the third of the criminal brothers abducts Hinata, Chōji, and Yurinojō along with several other shinobi.
