As Naruto confronted the Eight-Tailed, his shadow clones and Sakura rushed to catch up with Gaara, who was being carried away by Kankuro and Temari.
Meanwhile, Sasuke, impatient, had already given chase. He sensed that Gaara's strength was more than what he had shown and wanted to force him to use his full power.
"Sakura, be careful later. That crazy Gaara is very strong."
Naruto called out to Sakura, concerned.
"Yes."
Sakura nodded in understanding.
"Pakku, are we almost there?"
Naruto turned to ask the dog.
"Right, we're almost there. The smell of blood has stopped."
Pakku nodded in agreement.
"Then let's hurry, shua!"
With a shout, Naruto slowly increased his speed. …
"Hahaha, Sasuke, are you afraid? Are you scared of me? Hahaha…"
Both of Gaara's hands and his face had already transformed into a tanuki. Drool trickled from his mouth, and his expression was crazed.
"Hoo… hoo… Is that guy a monster?"
Hiding behind the trunk of a large tree, Sasuke was panting heavily, drenched in sweat.
"Come out! Sasuke Uchiha!"
Gaara roared, his cat-like eyes scanning the surroundings.
"Hah! Chidori! Chitter!"
Unleashing the Chidori, Sasuke quickly attacked Gaara.
"Whoosh! Argh!"
Sasuke swiftly severed one of Gaara's sand arms. He then landed on a tree across from him, turning to look at Gaara, who was screaming in pain as his arm regenerated.
"Damn it, this is going to be endless."
Looking at the still dangerous Gaara, the Magatama in Sasuke's eyes slowly rotated, clearly nearing its limit.
"Wahahaha, is that all you've got?"
Gaara's expression was arrogant.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Sasuke leaned weakly against a tree trunk, "Almost... can't hold on anymore?"
"Hahaha, then I'll be the one to decide your fate!"
A sand hand suddenly enlarged and grabbed directly at Sasuke. Gaara was ecstatic, as if he could already see Sasuke being crushed to pieces in his grasp.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Naruto's shout rang out, and then Gaara was knocked away by an Earth Dragon.
"Sasuke, you're really impatient, aren't you?"
Naruto, who had jumped to Sasuke's side, spoke with a tone that was both casual and teasing.
"Hoo… Naruto, be careful. This guy isn't human, he's a monster."
Sasuke didn't have time to bicker at this moment and quickly reminded Naruto.
"Alright, leave the rest to me. You, Sakura, and Pakku, step aside."
Naruto waved his hand at Sasuke, gazing at Gaara, who had been smashed into the ground by the Earth Dragon.
"Okay."
Sasuke nodded, "Be careful."
"Yeah."
Naruto nodded to show he understood.
"Wah-ka-ka, this is so much fun! More delicious blood!"
Gaara's hysterical laughter echoed, followed by the ground shaking. A huge sand狸猫 burst from the earth.
"Already in its complete form?"
Naruto watched Gaara, whose body was half-exposed atop the狸猫's head, with interest.
"Uzumaki Naruto? Heh heh, how interesting. Sleep Technique!"
Gaara formed a hand seal, and then his entire body went limp.
"Wahahaha, I'm finally out!"
The One-Tailed Shukaku's voice rang out, its tone incredibly comical.
"Hehe, this Shukaku thing is quite fun."
Listening to Shukaku's voice, Naruto couldn't suppress the laughter in his heart.
"Rasengan! Boom!"
Naruto slammed a Rasengan into Shukaku's belly, instantly driving it into the ground.
"Damn it, which bastard was that?"
The One-Tailed's voice was comical, tinged with a hint of fury.
"Air Bullets!"
Firing off an Air Bullet haphazardly, the One-Tailed didn't even bother to look, just sending it into the air.
"Whoosh!"
Naruto jumped back to dodge, a look of helplessness on his face. "This move really does pack a punch."
"Wahahaha, I found you, I found you! I'm going to eliminate you!"
The One-Tailed stood up and spotted Naruto, its voice filled with unconcealed glee, leaving Naruto utterly bewildered.
So this is the One-Tailed?
He's really acting like a child.
"Giant Rasengan!"
Raising a single hand, Naruto roared. A blue chakra sphere immediately began to gather in his hand, growing larger and larger.
"Whoosh!"
Because the chakra gathered so quickly, it created a whooshing sound, kicking up dust from the ground and scattering it everywhere.
"Hah!"
Holding the Giant Rasengan, which was ten meters in diameter, Naruto charged towards Shukaku.
"Whoa! Dangerous, really dangerous! Air Bullets!"
Shukaku was startled by the giant chakra ball and immediately unleashed an Air Bullet.
"Chh!"
Breaking through Shukaku's Air Bullet, Naruto slammed a massive chakra ball directly into Shukaku's stomach.
"Waaah!"
With a roar of pain, Shukaku was this time truly blasted into the earth, sent plummeting deep underground.
"Alright, it's over!"
Looking at Shukaku's body, which was cracked all over the deep pit, Naruto waved to Sakura, Sasuke, and Pakku, who was hiding to the side.
"It's over?"
Sasuke took a deep breath. The image of the Rasengan, ten meters in diameter, was etched into his mind, impossible to forget.
"Ugh… cough, cough…"
Gaara, surrounded by falling sand, looked at Naruto with a weary expression, clearly shocked. "Amazing… To defeat me so easily, even in my One-Tailed state."
"Gaara!"
Temari and Kankuro quickly entered the deep pit.
Temari glanced at Kankuro, who was carrying Gaara on his back, and looked at Naruto, her eyes filled with pleading. "Please, can you spare Gaara?"
"Yes."
Naruto flashed into the pit, standing beside Temari and meeting her gaze coldly. "But, you must ensure this annoying guy doesn't go on a rampage in Konoha again."
"I agree!"
Temari quickly agreed.
"Then, you can go."
Naruto stepped back a few paces, waving his hand to make way.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Seeing that Naruto intended to let them go, Temari was naturally very grateful and hurriedly called to Kankuro before darting away.
"This place is taken care of."
Naruto looked up at the sky, "So, what about over there?"
