Sasuke carefully observed Gaara. Yellow sand flowed out of the gourd and circled around Gaara. This must be the Shield of Karura, which provides automatic defense.
Gaara stood with his arms folded.
"Come on, prove to me that you're worth being killed."
Sasuke was furious, and the shadow of Itachi seemed to appear in front of him...
"My foolish little brother, you're not even worth being killed now..."
The memory was fleeting.
Whoosh!
Sasuke left a series of afterimages on the ground.
Bang, bang, bang—
Countless fist shadows enveloped Gaara. The speed of the automatic defense of the Shield of Karura gradually couldn't keep up with Sasuke's attack. Gaara was shocked and couldn't help but let go of his arms, searching around for Sasuke's whereabouts.
Kankuro rubbed his eyes.
"Damn, Gaara seems to be suppressed?"
The Third Hokage exclaimed.
"What incredible speed! I didn't expect Uchiha Sasuke to be a genius in taijutsu!"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, impressed by Sasuke's talent.
It's only been a few days, and Sasuke's speed is at least twice as fast as it was in the Forest of Death!
At this time, Sasuke flashed in front of Gaara.
"What's wrong? You can't seem to measure my value."
Gaara was furious, waving his hand to control the yellow sand to attack. Sasuke easily avoided it and then kicked Gaara away.
Bang.
Gaara fell to the edge of the stadium.
Boom—
Cheers thundered.
Sakura was excited.
"Come on, Sasuke, finish him off!"
Naruto was so excited that he almost had a fit.
Kankuro was shocked.
"How could it be? Uchiha Sasuke broke through Gaara's absolute defense?"
Temari reassured him.
"Don't worry, Gaara still has the Sand Armor, and the attack just now didn't cause any real damage."
Sure enough, Gaara stood up, with several cracks on his face, which should be the Sand Armor.
Sasuke remained calm. As expected, it was difficult to win with taijutsu alone. Before the match, he had made sufficient preparations.
Jinchuriki have two chakras, making them resistant to ordinary illusions. At the same time, the Shield of Karura is particularly resistant to physical attacks. Therefore, the chance of victory lies in ninjutsu, which is Sasuke's strong point!
Sasuke's lips curled slightly. The attack just now wasn't to show off but to measure the defense speed of the Shield of Karura.
Now, everything is ready; it's time to open the door to victory!
Gaara glared at Sasuke.
"How dare you hurt me? I'll tear you to pieces!"
"Go to hell, Sand Coffin!"
Sasuke dodged instantly and formed hand seals with both hands.
Zi, Mao, and Yin.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
As soon as the words fell, the water dragon rushed straight at Gaara.
Boom—
Gaara blocked the attack and seemed unscathed.
Kankuro's face changed drastically.
"Not good, Gaara's sand is soaked by water, and the defense is greatly reduced!"
The Third Hokage and Orochimaru focused on different things.
Using only three seals to trigger the Water Dragon Bullet? Uchiha Sasuke, what a horrifying talent!
Gaara looked grim and quickly put his hands together, driving the sand to form a closed round egg.
Kankuro stood up suddenly, his eyes full of fear.
"Madman, he's planning to lift Shukaku's seal early!"
The crowd was still cheering loudly, unaware that danger was imminent.
Before the sand egg closed, Gaara was murderous.
"I'll finish you with the next move, Uchiha Sasuke!"
Sasuke sneered, thinking that this sentence should be his.
Whoosh!
Sasuke burst out with all his strength, like a cannonball heading straight for Gaara.
Swish, swish, ug-mao-shin, the seal was completed in an instant. Almost at the same time, a flock of birds sang together, their sound covering the noise of the audience.
Everyone was shocked.
The Third Hokage exclaimed.
"It's unbelievable that he's mastered a second S-rank ninjutsu!"
Orochimaru looked at Sasuke as if he were a peerless gem.
Perfect, too perfect, Uchiha Sasuke is the most perfect container I have ever seen! He must be mine!
It happened in a split second.
Whoosh!
Raikiri pierced into the sand ball. The next second, lightning flashed through the stadium, blinding everyone.
After the light, white smoke came out of the sand ball. Then, it broke into pieces.
Bang.
Gaara fell to his knees, obviously knocked unconscious by the residual power of Raikiri.
The whole stadium was dead silent.
In fact, Sasuke was confident that he could pierce Gaara's heart just now. But now it was not a life-and-death fight, so there was no need to kill.
Kankuro's face was pale.
"Damn it, I'm dead now!"
Temari's face was bloodless.
"Damn it, Shukaku is coming out..."
Sakura and Naruto jumped three feet high.
"Yeah, Sasuke won!"
At this moment, something strange happened. Gaara burst out with unimaginable powerful chakra.
Boom!
The wind howled, and sand and stones flew. Everyone felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing on their shoulders.
Sasuke quickly focused his attention and was on guard. Countless yellow sand appeared out of thin air, and in an instant, Gaara was lifted to a height of dozens of meters. Then, the yellow sand turned into a One-Tailed Shukaku and reappeared in the ninja world!
Shukaku:
"Hahaha, I'm finally out!"
The audience in the stands panicked and ran around like headless flies.
The Third Hokage was shocked.
"What, that person is actually a Jinchūriki? No, Shukaku broke the seal and came out. Come on, seal the squad immediately..."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.
"Opportunity!"
Boom!
Orochimaru suddenly took action and held the Third Hokage hostage to the barrier that had been prepared long ago. The crowd was leaderless, and for a moment they didn't know whether to deal with Shukaku or rescue the Third Hokage.
At this time, Shukaku scratched his head and looked at Sasuke.
"To thank you for letting me out, I've decided to kill you with my own hands!"
"Die, Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet!"
Whoosh!
An air bullet with a diameter of nearly ten meters rushed over rapidly. Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and he completed the seal in an instant.
"Water Style: Water Wall!"
Boom!
Sasuke slid back five or six meters. The next second, the scattered water drops turned into a rainstorm and poured down.
Shukaku was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Besides foxes, the second thing I hate is water. If you dare to wet me with water, you must die today!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to fire the Drilling Air Bullet again.
Sasuke's eyes were stern.
"Don't even think about it!"
He didn't bother to wipe off the rain, and his hands danced, completing a new seal in a moment.
"Take it, Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"
Chi!
The Water Severing Wave went forward and directly cut off one of Shukaku's hands, successfully preventing the other party from using the Drilling Air Bullet.
The Anbu ninja was shocked.
Kankuro took a breath.
"What, Uchiha Sasuke actually suppressed Shukaku?"
Temari's eyes widened.
"What a terrible fighting power, is this the power of Uchiha?"
Sakura was anxious and turned around, praying softly.
"Sasuke, don't be in trouble!"
Naruto looked unwilling.
"Damn it, it's all my fault that I'm too stupid and didn't learn the summoning technique!"
At this time, Shukaku condensed his arms again and roared at Sasuke.
"Stinky brat, I'm going to kill you!"
Sasuke's face was solemn.
It's really difficult! It seems that if you want to defeat Shukaku, you can only use the sealing technique to seal it back into Gaara's body. However, Gaara is on Shukaku's head, and it is difficult to get close to Shukaku by ordinary means.
Do you want to use the summoning technique? But once you use it, you will inevitably be suspected of having something to do with the rogue ninja Orochimaru...
Just then, Shukaku opened his mouth and sucked in the air.
"I'm going to beat you to pieces with one move!"
Sasuke's eyes shrank, and a large amount of chakra was reflected in his Sharingan.
Oh no, this move is powerful enough to blow up the entire stadium! Damn, Naruto and the others are still nearby...
