Konoha.
Ninja Academy.
"You're amazing, Sakura!"
Ino, who often clashed with Sakura, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at this moment.
Naruto: "Way to go, Sakura!"
Sakura's face was slightly flushed, clearly a bit embarrassed by the praise.
"No way!!!"
Sakura in her heart: Please keep praising me! It's far from enough!! Hahahaha!
This is the power of love! For Sasuke-kun, she fears death not at all!!!
So, Sasuke-kun, shouldn't you be captivated by my charm!!
Just as Sakura was secretly looking at Sasuke's expression.
Kakashi said calmly: "As a Ninja, rushing forward without strength is just suicide, Sakura. Don't do that again. It's meaningless to the team…"
Sakura's smiling face instantly froze.
She was very angry at Kakashi-sensei's bluntness.
He completely missed the mood!
Kakashi then changed the subject, "However, as a member of the team, everyone probably prefers someone like Sakura. Only with such a person would everyone willingly entrust their back to her! Sakura, you did great this time!"
Naruto was also happy for Sakura: "Yes, we are all comrades!! Sakura did great!"
After hearing Kakashi-sensei's summary, Sasuke glanced at the screen, then looked at Sakura in reality.
Comrades… Hidden Sand Village.
Training ground.
Gaara's state was very unstable.
The sand from the gourd on his back slowly flowed out, swirling around him.
That woman on the screen, looking like that!
She really resembles him!
She really resembles Yashamaru, his nominal uncle!
Gaara didn't believe that woman had such a resolve to die for others.
Just like his sneer when Haku died earlier.
To live for others, to die for others.
How could one become stronger!
Only by loving oneself can one truly become stronger… Temari said worriedly, "Gaara, you…"
The next moment.
Gaara turned his face.
His expression was still as cold-blooded.
"It's nothing."
Temari nodded… [Naruto screamed "Sakura!!!"]
[Seeing Sakura blocking in front]
[Gaara seemed to be enraged by something]
[He controlled the giant sand claw to strike Sakura's entire body like a wooden hammer]
[Along with the immense force of the impact]
[Sakura's body was continuously sent flying backward]
[The speed became faster and faster]
[With a bang]
[She was crushed against a thick tree root]
[The tree trunk with a radius of two or three meters creaked from the immense force, looking as if it was about to break]
[Sakura let out a painful wail]
[Feeling as if her heart and lungs were being crushed, she couldn't breathe at all]
[The enraged Gaara controlled the sand]
[Seemingly intending to use Sand Burial to pulverize Sakura]
[The next moment]
[In suffocation, Sakura passed out]
[Naruto: "Sakura!!!"]
[At this moment, under the influence of Ichibi, Gaara was in excruciating pain]
[Hatred spread from his heart, gradually eroding his reason]
[The host was evolving more and more towards a Tailed Beast]
[Originally, half of his body was still Gaara's, but now it was gradually enveloped by sand, forming the shape of Ichibi]
[His body was covered in violet striped seals, and his eyes were blood-red]
[He was practically a miniature, berserk Ichibi]
[Gaara looked in Naruto's direction]
["What's wrong, are you afraid of me?!"]
["Come on, fight, where's your swagger from before?"]
["Let me see your power, then let me crush it!"]
["Come on, what's wrong?!"]
["If you don't fight me, I'll kill this woman!!"]
[Gaara controlled the giant claw of sand, and its power grew stronger and stronger]
[The tree root also creaked]
[It seemed that in the next second, Sakura would be pulverized along with the tree root]
Many people in the Ninja World were stunned by this battle.
The power of the One-Tail Jinchuriki was truly unimaginable!
His sand had too many functions!
Not only could it form extremely high defenses, but its offensive power was also astonishing!
An ordinary body simply couldn't withstand the crushing force of this Sand Burial!
Moreover, under the terrifying and murderous appearance of Ichibi, most people couldn't withstand the pressure!
And this Gaara truly harbored killing intent.
The reason he delayed was.
To kill more!!!
[Naruto finally couldn't take it anymore]
[He suddenly launched an attack]
["Damn it!"]
["Damn it!!"]
[Naruto quickly formed hand signs in the air]
["Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"]
[Instantly, a continuous series of "bang bang bang bang bang" sounds erupted]
[Dozens of 'Narutos' charged towards Gaara]
[Facing Naruto's attack]
["Wind Release!"]
[Gaara's Ichibi body grew seven or eight giant mouths, along with the giant mouth on his head]
["Infinite Sand Dust Great Breakthrough!!"]
[Under the hurricane, sand impacted the Narutos like bullets, forming an area-of-effect damage]
[The Narutos also dissipated into white smoke with a "bang bang bang" like bubbles, at an even faster speed]
[Naruto's main body then received the fatal damage suffered by the clones, collapsing onto the tree root]
The Shadow Clone Technique allows Chakra to be evenly distributed among each physical clone, and after dispelling, the clone's memories and experiences return to the main body.
And these memories and experiences of suffering fatal blows also return to the main body.
In other words.
At this moment, Naruto was equivalent to having suffered the damage from all the sand bullets.
As many clones as there were, that much damage would be simultaneously incurred!
In this situation.
Naruto not falling unconscious from the pain on the spot was already due to his special physique!
[As Naruto lay on the tree root, blood from his wound flowed from his forehead to the bridge of his nose]
[But]
[He still propped himself up and slowly stood]
[There was no trace of fear on his face]
[On the other side]
[A sinister smile appeared on Gaara's Ichibi beast face]
["I won't kill you that quickly!"]
["Because I want to know when you will abandon your comrades and run away!"]
[Another volley of sand bullets]
Gaara's sand was like an extension of his arm; under his control, it could form any weapon.
Including kunai, shuriken, sand bullets, and so on.
Ordinary sand is easily dispersed.
But Gaara could control the hard minerals in the soil to combine with sand, creating incredibly destructive sand bullets!
[While receiving the feedback from the Shadow Clone, Naruto's movements were sluggish]
[Dozens of sand bullets almost all hit him]
[Naruto again painfully collapsed to the ground, curling up and supporting himself with his elbows]
['But, what is this?']
[Gaara snorted with a sneer]
["It's not over yet!!"]
[Another volley of dozens of sand bullets]
[Naruto's body was once again sent flying]
[His body flew backward like a tattered rag under the heavy impact of the sand bullets]
[A tree root broke, slowing his body's speed]
[Finally, he hit a thicker tree root behind him with a heavy thud]
[Naruto half-knelt, propping up his body]
[His head lowered, his palms on the ground]
[His golden, hedgehog-like hair was particularly dazzling in the emerald green forest]
['What is this feeling?!']
[Gaara "Tch-ed"]
["Sand Shuriken!!"]
[The fourth wave of damage]
[Hit Naruto again without reservation]
[After being struck, his body lay supine in a large 'X' shape]
[But]
[The fighting spirit on his face grew stronger]
[The whiskers on his cheeks became thicker and harder]
["Damn it!"]
["Damn it!!"]
["What is this feeling surging in my heart!!!"]
['I don't know why']
['Even if I die…']
[Naruto, who had stood up again, slowly raised his head]
[With fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, he gritted his teeth]
[He looked at Gaara, the One-Tail Jinchuriki]
['I don't want to lose to you, you bastard!!!']
Although it was a battle between the One-Tail Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
It was also a contest of strength between Ichibi and Nine-Tailed!
A Nine-Tailed unwilling to offer its power was at most a Chakra package!
A Nine-Tailed offering its power was the true ferocious beast!!
At this moment, as Gaara, the Jinchuriki, slowly unleashed Ichibi's attack power.
Nine-Tailed also seemed unable to sit still.
Naruto's body also gradually emitted Nine-Tailed's killing intent!!!
