章節 72: Semi Finals:Second Match
Sasuke Uchiha vs Gaara
After my match with Ino, I returned to the stands to watch the next semifinal between Sasuke and Gaara. As Gekko announced, "Sasuke Uchiha vs. Gaara, please come to the arena," a tense energy filled the air. With both Sasuke and Gaara's cold, distant personalities, the atmosphere around them felt intense and unyielding.
At Gekko's signal to "Begin," Sasuke immediately went on the offensive. He had clearly analyzed Gaara's sand defense from earlier rounds, drawing his katana and infusing it with lightning chakra—a smart choice, knowing that lightning could overpower Gaara's earth-based sand. Sharingan activated, Sasuke launched a series of swift attacks from multiple angles. Gaara's sand reacted to defend him, blocking each strike automatically, but Sasuke's lightning-enhanced blade slowly chipped away at the defense, forcing Gaara to put more effort into reinforcing his sand wall.
Sasuke moved with precision, each strike infused with lightning chakra, allowing him to gradually wear down Gaara's sand defense. The clash of Sasuke's calculated movements against Gaara's unwavering sand shield created a tense, almost electric atmosphere in the arena. The spectators held their breath as Gaara's defense, known to be nearly impenetrable, started to show small cracks under the continuous onslaught of lightning-infused strikes.
Gaara's expression remained unchanged, his eyes narrowing slightly as he realized his usual tactics were losing ground. In response, Gaara commanded his sand to surge forward, aiming to envelop Sasuke in a massive wave. Sasuke, anticipating this, leapt back with swift agility, dodging the sand's attempt to bind him.
Seeing an opportunity, Sasuke took a moment to gather his chakra, intending to launch a powerful Chidori to break through Gaara's defenses entirely. With his Sharingan focused intently on Gaara's movements, he dashed forward, lightning crackling in his hand as he prepared to unleash his signature move. The crowd erupted, sensing that this was a pivotal moment in the battle. Gaara braced himself, bringing a thicker, more concentrated wall of sand in front of him as Sasuke's Chidori charged directly toward him.
Using his Chidori technique, Sasuke managed to shatter Gaara's formidable sand defenses, yet despite the breakthrough, he struggled to land a clean, decisive hit. Frustrated but undeterred, he pressed on with a relentless offensive, hoping to exploit any opening. With his outer layer of sand protection weakened, Gaara shifted to a counterattack, wielding his sand manipulation to keep Sasuke at bay. However, Sasuke nimbly dodged the attacks and struck back each time he found a gap, chipping away at Gaara's defenses.
As Sasuke's strikes continued, Gaara's sand armor—the final layer of his defense—began to crumble under the unyielding assault. Without his armor, Gaara was left dangerously exposed to Sasuke's increasingly intense onslaught. Sensing the critical opportunity, Sasuke became even fiercer, increasing his speed and strength to finish the match quickly. His lightning-infused katana flashed as he struck with precision, his attacks growing faster and more forceful.
With Gaara's defenses unable to keep pace, Sasuke took his chance, thrusting his lightning-charged katana toward Gaara. The sand barrier that had served as his final shield shattered, and Sasuke's blade broke through, piercing Gaara's body. For the first time, Gaara saw his own blood, a sight that sent him into a state of shock. "Blood... it's my blood," he cried out in horror, his voice echoing with a disturbing intensity that unsettled everyone watching. The match had taken a grim turn, revealing a terrifying vulnerability in the once-impenetrable Gaara.
As Gaara's mind wavered under the shock of seeing his own blood, a monstrous transformation began, his body twisting with the emergence of his inner demon. Observing this sudden shift, the Kazekage quickly gave a signal to his men. Without hesitation, Suna's elite jonin moved in to retrieve Gaara, whose partial transformation was already well underway. Their priority was to get him out of the stadium to continue the operation they had planned.
Moments after Gaara was pulled away, an eerie calm fell over the arena, broken only by the murmuring of the crowd. Suddenly, a powerful genjutsu was cast over the stadium, spreading like a veil over the spectators. The illusion took hold swiftly, leaving most of the audience unconscious and vulnerable. Those who were stronger sensed an unsettling energy in the air, but they struggled to comprehend what was unfolding. The subtle yet potent genjutsu had trapped nearly everyone, plunging the stadium into a surreal and disorienting silence.
As confusion spread through the stadium, Suna shinobi seized the moment to launch a sudden assault on nearby Konoha shinobi. With their coordinated attacks, the once lively arena quickly transformed into a chaotic battlefield, as allies of the Hidden Leaf clashed against the forces of the Hidden Sand.
Amid the erupting conflict, shinobi from both villages engaged fiercely, kunai and jutsu flashing through the air. The initial surprise gave Suna a temporary advantage, catching many Konoha defenders off guard. However, as more Konoha shinobi snapped out of the genjutsu or realized what was happening, they joined the fray, mounting a swift counterattack. What had begun as a simple examination turned into an all-out battle between the two villages, each side determined to protect their own amidst the chaos.
