"Wow, I didn't expect that person to fight again immediately. He is so powerful. Sasuke can't even withstand a single blow from him."
"Yeah, I also didn't expect it to be like this. That's too bad. I now suspect that the reason why Sasuke was able to survive is that he is too useless. His brother is too lazy to kill him."
"Well, stop talking. This is a battle between Konoha and the Sand. We have to watch it closely." For a moment, the whole venue was full of discussion.
"Hokage, do you think that Ryoha could defeat Gaara?" In fact, Orochimaru was also uncertain. He could not deny that Ryoha's talent was the most outstanding he had ever seen. However, Ryoha was still only twelve years old, and he was facing Gaara of The Sand.
On the surface, he didn't seem to be much of a threat to Ryoha, but once he turned into a tailed beast, it would be dangerous. Even if it was only the 1-tail, without Kage-level strength, it would be impossible to completely subdue it.
"I can't say anything. I'm afraid that you will be saddened if I reveal my answer. I feel that it is not good to deceive you, Kazekage-dono."
The Third said. In fact, he just wanted to say that Gaara would lose. However, as a fellow Kage, he could only hold back. After all, there were so many people watching. As a Hokage, of course, he had to be calm. On the surface, the two of them looked like old friends for many years.
"No, no, I am still young. I can still withstand this blow." Orochimaru said hypocritically.
"I was waiting for this moment. Your blood must taste very good." Gaara roared in excitement.
"My blood is nothing special. It's a bit more advanced at most. Hey, are you a weirdo or something? Why do you like to drink blood so much?"
Ryoha looked at the National Treasure of the Naruto world from a close distance. Gaara's panda-like appearance looked cute on the outside but it turned out he was not cute at all.
"Let's begin," Genma announced the start of this match.
"Hmph." Gaara snorted coldly. Sand immediately sprayed out from his gourd and rushed directly to Ryoha to catch him.
"Ah, you must not be caught, or you will definitely die." Shikamaru couldn't bear to watch them anymore. He had seen with his own eyes that no one who was caught by the sands would have a good ending.
"Tsk." Ryoha didn't even look at his right hand and waved it. He actually pushed away all the sand that came at him like trash.
"So powerful. Gaara's sand is completely useless against him." Kankuro's face changed. Although he said that he hated Gaara, but Gaara was the strongest Genin in their village. If he couldn't deal with Ryoha, it would be a little difficult.
"If this goes on, Gaara will be very dangerous. Those sand can be scattered by him easily. Even if he used the Raikiri or Rasengan at close range, Gaara wouldn't be easy to defeat." Temari said with a bit of worry.
"Sand Hail!."Gaara also understood that Ryoha was the strongest enemy he had ever faced. If he didn't make any moves, he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat Ryoha. Therefore, he began to use ninjutsu. The sand in the sky fell down and turned into a rainstorm that was directed toward Ryoha. The power of this move was average, but it was used as preparation for the next jutsu.
"Monstrous Sand Arm!" A trace of excitement flashed in Gaara's eyes as if he had already seen his victory in his sight. The sand immediately turned into a big hand and grabbed Ryoha.
"Die, Sand Binding Coffin!" Gaara roared. The sand had already surrounded Ryoha, leaving only his head. Violent pressure continuously pressed down on Ryoha's entire body.
"Only this much?" Ryoha's expression did not change. The scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere that he had expected did not appear. Instead, Ryoha forcefully broke off from all the sand on his body.
Although he was unable to use Wood Release, after fusing with Wood Release's genes, he had truly discovered the powerful vitality of the Sage's body. Whether it was strength, speed, avoidance, recovery ability, flexibility, endurance, or defense, all aspects of his body had improved.
"The Sand Binding Coffin is useless?" Kankuro's pupils shrank. This was the first time he had seen Gaara's ninjutsu being useless against someone.
"Panda-eyes, if you are only at this level, then this battle should be over soon." Ryoha clenched his hand and smashed his fist like a cannonball against Gaara's body. Even with the Sand Shield, he was unable to defend against it. The sand was immediately scattered by Ryoha, and then he directly punched Gaara.
"Ahhh...!" Gaara cried out in pain, and his entire body shattered into a pile of sand that crashed into the wall.
"Sand Burial..!" Gaara said in a low voice. Countless grains of sand piled up, forming a sea of sand that surged towards Ryoha like a tsunami, instantly suppressing him.
"How spectacular! That Sand Ninja is so powerful!" After witnessing such scenes for the first time, the villagers all screamed. Even many Jonins were shocked when they saw Gaara suddenly use such powerful ninjutsu.
"Die, Sand Burial!" Gaara clenched his fists, signaling the sea of sand, and roared. The sand continued to press Ryoha down, causing the ground to tremble slightly as if it could not withstand the pressure from the sand.
"Haha, Temari, did you see that? Gaara is stronger." Kankuro said with a bit of pride.
"Idiot, didn't you see that when Ryoha looked at the sand sea, his expression did not change at all?" Temari said in a bad mood. Her eyes were fixed on the sand sea below. She didn't believe that Ryoha would be defeated by them.
"Raikiri!." Suddenly, a relatively small sound rang out from the desert. However, these sounds grew louder and louder. Suddenly, a hole appeared in the sand. A bolt of lightning appeared from the inside. Ryoha held the Raikiri and pierced through the sea of sand.
"He is definitely a monster like Gaara." Kankuro's eyes were about to pop out.
"Panda-eyes, the game is over, Body Flicker Rasengan!" He was not sure how strong Ryoha's current body was, but he knew that with his body, he would not be able to use Body Flicker Jutsu instantly like a Jonin.
In other people's eyes, Ryoha appeared behind Gaara as if he was instantly moving. The Rasengan suddenly pressed down on Gaara's back.
