"Hmph, that's it?"
Everyone looked up when they heard the voice! The white-haired boy had already jumped above Gaara!
"Wow! What the hell? How did he get out of that situation?" Inuzuka Kiba, who was hiding in a tree in the distance, was very surprised and asked Shikamaru next to him in confusion. Shikamaru, with a deadpan expression, replied impatiently: "I don't know. Now, I can only think of two possibilities. The first is using the shadow clone or substitution technique in advance. The second is the legendary space-time ninjutsu."
"Space-time ninjutsu? What is that?" Kiba asked.
"Well, it should be a ninjutsu that is extremely fast and unpredictable. I only heard my father talk about it once. The second situation is unlikely," Shikamaru explained.
Ino, watching Suigetsu, exclaimed, "Hey, don't you think that white-haired boy is handsome?"
Kiba, still fixated on the battle, retorted, "No, you still have time to fantasize?"
Gaara looked up in disbelief.
"Asshole... die!" Gaara shouted angrily while raising his hands to control the sand to form two giant sand hands slapping towards Suigetsu.
Suigetsu was not in a hurry; he closed one eye and made a pistol gesture with one hand.
A stream of water quickly shot towards Gaara along Suigetsu's fingertips!
Gaara's sand automatically formed a protective shield to resist the water attack, but the water flow was too fast and too strong! It actually penetrated Gaara's sand barrier!
In an instant, the water flow passed through Gaara's head! It shot straight to the ground, leaving a small hole!
The two big hands of sand dissipated and fell to the ground.
Gaara fell to the ground.
Kankuro and Temari were utterly shocked, shouting heartbreakingly, "Brother!!! Gaara!!!"
This was their second shock: there was an attack that could hurt Gaara!
Gaara lay motionless on the ground. Suigetsu, curious, prepared to move forward to check.
Suigetsu was surprised to find that Gaara's body and clothes were gradually turning into sand!
Just as Suigetsu was wondering, an inconspicuous stream of sand entangled Suigetsu's limbs and tied him up. The sand around him gradually covered his body!
Gaara was not dead! He had actually used a sand substitute at the last moment!
Gaara stood where Suigetsu attacked just now and seemed to smile evilly, slowly raising a few fingers.
A stream of sand gradually wrapped around Suigetsu's neck, then the sand restraint suddenly tightened!
"Sand Coffin! Then Sand Burial!"
Pah!
But what flowed out of the sand ball was not blood, but... a few drops of water?
After a while, the sand restraint dissipated.
"Dead?"
"Should be dead."
"Must be dead!"
"I don't know if he can survive in that situation."
"So pitiful, such a handsome boy..."
"Isn't he dead? If he's still alive, I'll eat this kunai!" Choji made a firm bet.
The six little shinobi discussed whether Suigetsu was dead or not.
Gaara laughed a few times, then looked at his siblings.
Temari and Kankuro sighed with relief when they saw Gaara was still alive.
"Gaara, you're not dead, that's great!"
The next second, Gaara stared at the water-soaked sand, puzzled.
"Why! Why! Why does it feel like that guy is not dead yet!"
Suddenly, a fist as big as a sandbag swung at Gaara. Gaara's sand automatically reacted to block the attack.
"Sure enough! You're not dead yet! Hahahaha! Keep playing!"
"Super Water Transformation Technique!"
This is the water transformation technique strengthened by Sasuke! It can be immune to physical attacks, most ninjutsu, and even sage attacks! Gaara went mad with rage. Suigetsu snorted coldly, "Are you worthy of being a One-Tail Jinchuriki? But that's all."
Gaara took a step back as Suigetsu quickly formed seals with both hands.
"Water Release: Sea Dragon!"
Suigetsu placed his hands together and slapped the ground. A huge stream of water rose from the area where his hands touched the ground. The water flow kept spinning and finally formed a gigantic water dragon! The water dragon, wrapped around the vortex water flow, rushed towards Gaara at high speed.
Gaara quickly used the Shukaku Shield. A shield formed by sand was erected in front of Gaara, resembling Shukaku of the Sand with similar red and black stripes on its belly.
"That's... the evil One-Tail Shukaku!" Temari shouted in surprise.
"It seems that the water dragon can do a lot of damage to make Gaara use that move. Even from a distance, you can feel the powerful chakra..."
The water dragon and Shukaku's shield were in a stalemate, neither side giving in. Suddenly, Suigetsu's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique."
The water flow on the water dragon instantly became more turbulent, and the impact force grew stronger. Eventually, Shukaku's shield could not withstand this force and was washed away!
"What! Actually..."
"Just an ant..."
Seeing this, Gaara immediately performed Quicksand Burial, trying to trap Suigetsu. However, Suigetsu's figure was like a ghost, easily avoiding the quicksand's attack.
"Multiple Flying Thunder Spear Technique!"
Suigetsu used the Flying Thunder Spear to dodge and move flexibly in the air while constantly launching water style techniques to create trouble for Gaara.
The battle entered a white-hot stage!
"Such speed, how is it possible!"
The people nearby were shocked by Suigetsu's speed.
Suigetsu dodged the last attack, and when the vortex water blade in his hand approached Gaara's neck...
"Little brat... do you want freedom and power?" Shukaku's voice sounded in Gaara's heart.
"You are the One-Tail, you want to disgust me again?" Gaara looked at Shukaku in the broken cage with cold eyes.
"Hehehehe!!! No, I just want to lend you power. Don't you want to kill the person in front of you?"
"Hmph, I know you will take the opportunity to take away my body and occupy my consciousness."
"Hehehe, brat, do you think I want to lend you power? If you die, I will die too! Occupy your consciousness, now is not the time."
"Hmph, if you take away my body and consciousness in Konoha's territory, you will be punished soon."
"A born evil kid..."
Suddenly, red tailed beast chakra emerged from Gaara's body! Sand quickly combined with Gaara's body! He slapped Suigetsu away with a powerful strike, forcing Suigetsu to turn into water to avoid the attack.
Temari and Kankuro's hearts were like a roller coaster, and they became nervous again.
"That's a possession! Is it going to be here... Damn it!"
Gaara took a step back, and a huge sand tail grew out of his back, very similar to Shukaku's tail.
Gaara slapped his tail, quickly condensing a large amount of sand to attack Suigetsu, who had turned into water.
"Dad's son!!!"
