Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

While Qi Fei and the others were tracking Sasuke, Sasuke finally caught up with Gaara and his friends.

In order to cover Gaara's departure, Temari volunteered to stay and stop Sasuke, but due to lack of chakra and lack of strength, she quickly failed.

When Sasuke caught up with Gaara again, it was Kankuro's turn to stay behind and let Temari, who had returned from serious injuries, take Gaara away. However, Kankuro's plan was ruined by Shino who came quietly.

It turned out that Shino had secretly left a female bug on Sasuke before Sasuke chased Gaara and his friends alone. Based on the male bug's induction of the female bug's scent, Shino caught up with Sasuke, Gaara and the others.

Shino has always been bitter about Kankuro surrendering without a fight during the competition, and he especially wants to prove himself by deciding a winner with Kankuro.

Now that he had this opportunity, he helped Sasuke block the obstacle from Kankuro.

One used Sunagakure's puppet technique, and the other used the Aburame clan's insect repellent technique. The duel between the two was evenly matched and ended in a draw. Kankuro lost his fighting ability due to the eating of Shino's evil bugs, and Shino also lost his fighting power because of Kankuro's attack.

The poison spreads throughout the body and the person loses the ability to move.

Without Kankuro's hindrance, Sasuke successfully caught up with Gaara and the others. At this time, Temari, who was seriously injured, had no fighting power and could no longer take Gaara away.

"It's over." Sasuke said condescendingly, looking at Gaara and Temari.

"Has Kankuro been defeated? No, this is too fast, there should be reinforcements." Temari didn't expect that Kankuro didn't stop Sasuke.

"Uh-huh-" At this time, Gaara also covered his head and woke up in pain.

"Gaara, are you okay?" Temari asked worriedly.

"Uchiha Sasuke!" Covering his head, Gaara stared at Sasuke fiercely and waved Temari away with one hand, "Get away!"

"No matter what your intentions are, I will stop you here."

Recalling the monster-like giant hand he saw during the game, and the monster-like eyes seen through the small holes in the maracas, Sasuke said, "By the way, let me see your true face."

"Uh ah ah -" After hearing Sasuke's words, Gaara covered his head in even more pain, and cracks began to appear in the sand armor on half of his face.

Temari, who was waved aside by Gaara, saw this and shouted directly: "Stop, Gaara! Have you forgotten the battle plan!"

"You are powerful, you are named Uchiha Sasuke, you have partners, you have goals, you are very similar to me! Only by killing you, as an existence that destroys everything, can I exist in this world, I

Only then can you feel alive!”

"Ahhhh-" As he spoke, the sand armor on Gaara's body began to break rapidly, and half of his body was constantly expanding, "You are...my...prey!"

As Gaara wails, his right half suddenly swells into an earthy yellow monster body with a cursed pattern.

"Come on! Let me feel it!" Half of Gaara's face also turned into a monster, baring his teeth, opening his mouth wide, and said to Sasuke with murderous intent.

When Temari on the side saw Gaara's appearance, she folded her arms in horror and closed her eyes. Even though she had seen Gaara before, she still couldn't accept this monster-like appearance.

"Yes, that's the look!" Looking at Gaara's completely mutated eyes, Sasuke recalled the terrifying look he had once glimpsed on the field.

Feeling the strong ominous aura and murderous intent that Gaara was constantly exuding, and looking at Gaara's strange and inhuman appearance, Sasuke trembled with fear.

Just when Sasuke was frightened by Gaara's sudden mutation, Gaara took a preemptive strike and instantly rushed in front of Sasuke and waved his monster arm.

Bang! Click, click, click... Sasuke jumped away hastily, but Gaara slapped several trees around him casually.

"Are you afraid of me? Uchiha Sasuke!" Gaara destroyed the surrounding forest wantonly, looking for Sasuke's hiding figure.

"Have your hatred and murderous intentions been covered up by fear? Is this the only level you have? Come and fight me to confirm your existence and value. If you want to know, come out!"

Gaara's words reminded Sasuke of the scene when Gaara came to him before the game. At that time, Sasuke asked Gaara why he was so obsessed with himself.

Gaara told Sasuke that because Sasuke is very similar to him, they are both people who do whatever it takes to achieve a goal. And such people confirm their existence and value by fighting each other.

Therefore, for Gaara, who has been pursuing the value of his existence, Sasuke is the one he must kill.

Thinking of this, Sasuke thought about why Itachi would let him go on the night of the genocide, so that he could bear the blood feud of his clan and kill Itachi as an avenger to avenge his parents and clan members.

Since it was for revenge against Itachi, he couldn't fall down here or show his weakness.

Feeling the hatred and anger welling up in his heart, Sasuke's original fear of Gaara dissipated. He raised his palm and concentrated the Thunder Chakra in his hand.

The sound of chirping birds attracted Gaara's attention. Seeing the flashing light behind the tree trunk in the distance, Gaara shouted: "Let me enjoy it, Uchiha Sasuke!"

"I'm going to kill you with one strike!" Sasuke, who had activated his Sharingan, walked out from behind the tree trunk and said to Gaara.

The next second, the two of them flew out, blue and khaki figures passing each other in the air. Gaara's monster arm was torn into two pieces by Sasuke's Chidori.

"Hahahaha!" Gaara laughed and covered his injured arm after landing, "I finally know why I am so happy. Defeating someone who can hurt me and taking away everything from him is the meaning of my existence.

!”

The next moment, Gaara's injured arm healed instantly, and a long tail covered with spikes grew out of his back.

"What's going on with this guy..." Sasuke looked at Gaara who recovered instantly with a shocked expression. He didn't expect that such a heavy blow to him would have no effect.

"I'm coming!" Gaara rushed towards Sasuke faster.

Relying on the insight of the Sharingan, Sasuke narrowly avoided Gaara's attacks. However, halfway through the flight, Gaara turned around and grabbed the branch, and his whole body hit Sasuke again like a slingshot.

Facing Gaara's turning blow, Sasuke, who had no time to dodge, was instantly knocked away. After breaking several trees, he landed on a branch.

"Hahaha! Is this the only level? I'll put it bluntly, you are weak, your hatred is weaker than mine." Looking at Sasuke who fell to the ground, Gaara mocked, "Hate is power, you

Your hatred is weaker than mine, which means your power is weaker than mine."

"Shut up!" Thinking of his hatred, Sasuke ignored Kakashi's warning that he could only use Chidori twice a day, stood up, and once again condensed the Thunder Release Chakra in his hand.

"Drink ah ah -" the two roared and flew out again, and the blue and yellow figures once again crossed each other in the air.

"Well……"

Gaara's monster arm on the right half of his body was completely cut off. Sasuke, who was covered in curse marks, also fell down in pain.

"Hahaha!" Seeing the dying Sasuke, Gaara's left side once again grew a monster arm.

In order to get the meaning he wanted and to gain the final victory, Gaara flew towards Sasuke without mercy, his huge arm turned into a spear, ready to crush Sasuke into a pulp.

Bang! Just when Gaara's spear was about to stab Sasuke, a figure suddenly appeared and kicked Gaara away with his spear in the air.

Looking at the familiar golden hair and swirling pattern on his back, Sasuke recognized the panting Naruto.

"Sasuke!" Then Sakura's figure appeared next to Sasuke, checking on the dying Sasuke.

"Companion..." Seeing Naruto protecting Sasuke, Gaara was just about to taunt when he noticed a blue comet falling from the sky and heading straight for him: "Freeze Concerto!"

Gaara had no time to dodge and raised his hand to receive Comet's attack.

Then the whole person flew backwards, and the sand armor and monster limbs all turned into ice shards and dissipated, and the surrounding area was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost.

Click, click, click—it broke more than a dozen trees in a row. Gaara coughed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.

"Gaara!" Temari on the side wanted to step forward to help, but suddenly found that her body could not move.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you go up and get in the way. Just stay here with me." Not far behind Temari, Shikamaru said with his hands forming a seal.

"Naruto, take Sasuke to a safe place first. Gaara will let me handle it." Standing in the deep pit created by the kick, Qi Fei said to Naruto on the tree.

"Why! I also want to fight and protect my companions!" Naruto could not hide behind his back and let his companions suffer death.

"Naruto..." Although it was only for a moment, Sakura still clearly saw Gaara's mutated appearance, and she wanted to persuade Naruto not to hinder him.

"Me...too..." Sasuke, who was dying, could not accept the shame of being protected by the "crane tail" and struggled to climb up from the branch.

"Hahaha... You're here just in time." Without the sand armor, Gaara, who was exposed to frostbite, staggered up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to Qi Fei and the others, "

None of you can protect me, you will all die here today!"

Boom! Gaara formed a seal with his hands, and a huge sea of ​​sand spurted out in all directions with him as the center.

Looking at the waves of sand coming from the pavement, Qi Fei raised his hand and froze the waves in mid-air. But then, a huge arm smashed the waves, and a huge figure emerged from the center of the waves and appeared in front of everyone.

.

A huge khaki civet cat monster with cursed lines all over its body appeared in the forest. Its huge size made the surrounding trees look like half-chopsticks in front of it. They flew together like a few small ants.

[Ichibi Shukaku, it’s a pity that I feel like something is missing if I don’t talk trash...]

"Finally... the complete body appears." Temari looked at the figure of the complete Shukaku in surprise and fear. Gaara, who transformed into Shukaku, would destroy everything he saw without hesitation, and no one could stop him.

.

"Is this the monster in his body..." On the way here, Naruto roughly learned from Qi Fei about Gaara's similar experience to himself.

Others also looked at this monster that covered the sky with shock and surprise. They no longer knew how to deal with this monster.

"Fuck them all!" Waving his long tail covered with spikes, Shukaku, controlled by Gaara, raised his strong arms, ready to sink everyone with one punch.

Everyone looked desperately at Shukaku as he prepared to strike a devastating blow.

"Damn it!" To deal with such a huge enemy, all Naruto could think of was the psychic technique entrusted to him by the lustful immortal.

So he bit his finger and was about to use the psychic technique when he heard Qi Fei say: "I'll do it."

Qi Fei opened his palms, and countless snow-white frost condensed rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, it condensed into a crystal clear javelin exuding cold air.

"Winter's Wrath!" Holding the javelin behind his back, Qi Fei raised his hand and shot towards Shukaku.

Phew——Faster than Shukaku's fist falling, the javelin plunged directly into Shukaku's chest.

The next moment, Shukaku's fist stopped in the air, and snow-white frost began to appear on its surface. Like a broken statue, countless cracks covered its huge body, and its limbs and muscles began to break and fall off piece by piece.

, falling to the ground and turning into crystal gravel.

[The power of Yin is really useful...]

This move is a by-product of Qi Fei's exploration of Susanoo. He pours the concentrated power of extreme Yin into the frozen javelin, freezing all the chakra the moment it hits and explodes.

After the chakra was frozen and the maintenance of the chakra was lost, Shukaku's body naturally couldn't bear the gravity and collapsed on its own. This was the first time he tried this trick on a "biological creature". Before that, he had only used it in the training ground.

The range of effects has been tested above.

As Shukaku disintegrated, Gaara's battered body also fell down, falling heavily to the frost-covered ground.

Walking to the unconscious Gaara, when Qi Fei was about to twist him up, he heard Naruto shouting from behind: "Wait!"

Qi Fei turned back curiously and found that Naruto was looking at Gaara on the ground with an unbearable expression and said: "I don't know why, I can deeply understand his pain of being alone. But I already have the one I love, but

He has not yet met the person he loves, the important partner who liberates him from loneliness and recognizes his existence..."

[Die Yaoshou, Naruto, are you trying to escape from me? 】

Recalling that in the original work, everyone who had been evaded by Naruto's mouth seemed to have failed, Qi Fei thanked Bu Min, and before Naruto could continue, he interrupted directly: "I won't kill him, but the damage caused by Sunagakure to Konoha must be

Someone takes the responsibility. I have to take him back."

"Well..." Naruto just nodded silently after hearing this.

"If you want to enlighten him, go find him yourself after he wakes up."

Qi Fei quickly carried Gaara on his shoulders, and everyone took Temari, Kankuro and Shino on the way back.
