Chapter 22: Rampage
"The contestants for the second match are Uzumaki Yuta from Konoha Village and Gaara of the Sand from Hidden Sand Village." Shiranui Genma looked up and said after repairing the arena.
"Shasa."
Gaara dispersed into sand, and the next second, he appeared in the center of the arena, enveloped in flying sand.
"Yuta, be careful." Nao said worriedly.
"Don't worry." Yuta gently placed his hand on Nao's head: "I'm going."
"Thud."
Landing in the arena, Yuta said to Gaara: "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's fine." Gaara looked at Yuta with a crazed expression: "I have the patience for delicious fresh blood."
"Second match, start!"
"It's finally starting." Sasuke clenched the railing tightly with both hands. Both Yuta and Gaara were extremely powerful opponents in Sasuke's heart. Not encountering them was a regret, but being able to see them fight was still good.
"Yuta, please be safe." Naruto prayed in his heart.
"Hoo." Yuta let out a long breath to adjust his mindset, instantly appearing beside Gaara.
"So fast!" Temari looked at Yuta in shock.
"But it won't do anything, after all, it's Gaara." Kankuro said. This speed was still within the acceptable range of Gaara's Sand Shield.
"Shashasha."
A sand shield quickly condensed in front of Gaara. Yuta's heavy punch not only had no effect but was also entangled by the sand.
"Crash, crash…"
"Getting entangled will be very troublesome." Gaara did not stand still as he usually did in battles. Sand gathered at Gaara's feet, lifting him up.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Gaara manipulated the sand beneath his feet to easily dodge the chain attacks.
"Can't hit him?" Yuta pouted and deactivated the Adamantine Sealing Chains. Facing flexible enemies, the slow attack speed of the Adamantine Sealing Chains was a big problem.
"Sand Shigure."
A sky full of sand rain fell towards Yuta.
Yuta looked up and exhaled a gale: "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Gaara's sand contained special Chakra, so the gale couldn't directly blow it away. But this slight delay was enough for Yuta to evade the attack range of the Sand Shigure.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Yuta created three Shadow Clones. The four figures, indistinguishable from the original, ran quickly along the wall in two pairs.
"Sand Shuriken."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…"
Yuta dodged the shuriken, his original body remaining on the wall, while the three Shadow Clones stomped on the wall and leaped towards Gaara in the air.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
With the wind fueling the fire, a massive Great Fireball blasted towards Gaara at an extremely fast speed.
"Shashasha…"
"Boom!"
The Great Fireball struck the Sand Shield. The flames that weren't blocked continued to fly towards the audience stands.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
Feeling the power of the flames, an Anbu member broke out in a cold sweat: "This kid…"
The Shadow Clone on the other side was not to be outdone: "Wind Release: Wind Blade Barrage."
Three giant wind blades sliced through the sky. The Sand Shield, beyond Gaara's control, covered his entire body.
"This is what I was waiting for." Golden chains once again extended from Yuta's back. This time, Gaara had nowhere to hide!
"Crash, crash…"
Controlling the chains to bind Gaara layer by layer, Yuta used the pulling force of the chains to leap directly above the Sand Shield.
"Rasengan!"
"Boom!"
Gaara crashed heavily into the ground.
"It's not over yet." Yuta's fingers rapidly formed hand signs like a blur. His long-term hand sign practice came into play at this moment: "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Roar!"
A water dragon roared as it plunged into the deep pit, and a large amount of clear water covered the arena.
"Hey, hey, is this really a Genin showdown?" Shikamaru had fine cold sweat on his forehead: "But it should be over now, right?"
"Not yet." Nao, with her Byakugan activated, said solemnly: "Gaara's Chakra flow has intensified."
"Pfft."
A large amount of sand erupted from the deep pit, and a sand sphere rose, supported by the sand.
"Shashasha."
Sand gathered into an eye, floating near the sand sphere to observe Yuta's movements. Inside the sand sphere, Gaara, with a crazed smile on his face, slowly formed hand signs.
"Is he so weak in combat experience because he relies too much on sand?" Yuta chuckled. For an immobile target, there was no Ninjutsu more suitable than the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"Swish!"
This time, to enhance the power of the chains, Yuta gave up using two chains simultaneously, and the effect was evident.
"Pfft."
The chain pierced the sand, and a painful roar echoed from within the sand sphere.
"Blood! This is my blood! I'll kill you! I must kill you!"
The sand sphere dispersed, revealing Gaara inside, pierced by the chain.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Gaara's right arm transformed into a giant monster arm.
"Damn it! This kid has lost control." Yakushi Kabuto, disguised as an Anbu, secretly thought something was wrong. He formed the 'Un' hand sign and channeled Chakra: "Temple of Nirvana Technique."
Snow-white feathers fell like snowflakes from the sky. On the stands, apart from a few Ninja, all ordinary spectators instantly fell into a deep sleep.
In the arena, most of Gaara's body had been eroded by Shukaku. His sand-like skin was covered with large violet markings, and drool dripped from his hideous mouth: "I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
"There are too many ordinary spectators here, I can't fight here. This damn idiotic seal of Hidden Sand Village." Yuta cursed inwardly.
"Whoosh!"
Gaara, already in a frenzy, wouldn't think as much as Yuta. He raised Shukaku's arm, dozens of meters long, and swept it towards Yuta.
"Crack!"
The chains formed a simple shield in front of Yuta, blocking the attack. Yuta looked up and yelled at Gaara: "Useless! If you've got guts, come and chase me!"
After speaking, Yuta also activated his Nine-Tails Chakra and quickly ran towards the outskirts of the village.
"I'll kill you!" A terrifying sea of sand gathered around Gaara.
Baki jumped off the stands and stopped Gaara, who was about to give chase: "Don't forget the plan!"
"Get out of my way, or I'll kill you." Gaara swung his giant claw at Baki.
"What a troublesome brat." Baki stepped aside. Baki was not afraid of Gaara's strength, but fighting Gaara under the current circumstances would not be beneficial and would instead cause Hidden Sand Village to waste two combat forces.
"Temari, Kankuro, you two go and help Gaara. If he truly undergoes a full Tailed Beast transformation, protect yourselves and bring back the exhausted Gaara." Baki ordered Temari and Kankuro behind him.
"Yes!"
Although equally terrified, Temari and Kankuro both knew Gaara's strategic importance to Hidden Sand Village. Shukaku could not be lost!
"Bang!"
Just then, a cloud of smoke suddenly erupted from the Hokage stand. Amidst the layers of smoke, the Kazekage suddenly attacked, seizing Hiruzen Sarutobi and leaping onto the rooftop.
"Your Excellency Kazekage, I didn't expect you to do such a thing. Do you intend to break the alliance treaty?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone carried a hint of expectation. How he wished the person holding a Kunai to his neck was the real Kazekage, and not the student he once prided himself on.
"Have you gotten carried away by peace in your old age, Sarutobi-sensei?" The Kazekage tore off his mask, revealing a pale, sinister face.
"Orochimaru." Looking at Orochimaru's face, Hiruzen seemed to age a dozen years in an instant. His most outstanding disciple had, in the end, raised a weapon against him.
"Attack!" Orochimaru ordered the four Otogakure Ninja who had already taken up positions in four directions.
"Four Violet Flames Formation!"
The four Otogakure Ninja simultaneously released Chakra, and four purple barrier walls quickly rose. In the final moment of the barrier's formation, a figure flashed inside.
Looking at the familiar face, Orochimaru's expression became slightly solemn: "Jiraiya."
