From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 476 Sequence 2: The Sun Chaser

"Huchi. Huchi"

Amidst the collapsed building ruins, Gaara knelt on one knee.

The hard sand armor shattered inch by inch under the impact, looking rather terrifying.

His heavy breathing was mixed with excruciating pain assaulting his nerves; blood dripped from his forehead; his vision blurred and bloodshot; and his mind was filled with piercing noise.

"Too, too dangerous. If it weren't for Mom's strength..."

Gaara's mind flashed back to the scene just a second before the explosion.

With complete self-awareness, the sand embraced him like a mother, shielding him from the final wave of attacks.

But that only applies to him alone.

"Thank you, Mom," Gaara silently said in his heart.

After returning, Jonin Maki told Gaara everything about the Fourth Kazekage and Karura.

It turns out that his mother never resented him, nor did she regret giving birth to him.

After the missing love was filled, Gaara finally understood that the 'love' on his forehead was his mother Karura's wish for him to love her, not just Shura who only loved herself!

"That's right, I've changed. I'm the Kazekage of the village!"

Gaara struggled to his feet, shook his head which was ringing in his ears, and wiped the blood from his eyes. "My mission is to protect the village and the villagers!"

Amidst a vast cloud of smoke and dust, the village was almost completely reduced to ruins.

As far as the eye could see, the collapsed ruins buried countless villagers, and the ninjas who had been affected earlier suffered heavy casualties.

Blood, severed limbs, ruins, wails. The scene, like a scroll painting of hell, made Gaara's pupils shrink, and emotions that had not appeared for a long time were ignited like flames!
"Oh, he's still alive?"

Bai Awang stood on the ruins, bent down, rested his elbows on his knees, propped his chin on his hand, and watched with great interest as Gaara's face was full of anger: "As expected of the Kazekage Gaara, he can even block my 'Kagerou'. Is this the legendary motherly love?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Gaara's forehead veins throbbed, as if he had been enraged by those words.

The next moment, killing intent surged in his eyes, and his chakra surged like a giant wave, carrying a terrifying momentum. The sand within a radius of hundreds of meters was like a flowing tsunami, and under his slowly raised arms, curtains tens of meters high were raised.

"I am Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure!"

The boy's resolute voice carried a chilling undertone.

Standing on the sand dunes tens of meters high, he looked down at Bai Awang below, and his voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire village: "Sand Ninja and Anbu, immediately assist the villagers in evacuating and do not approach me!"

The vast sea of ​​sand, with immense force and terrifying pressure, pressed down on Bai Awang!

Boom! ! !
During the violent earthquake, hundreds of tons of sand accumulated and gathered into towering waves.

The billowing smoke and dust surged into the sky, creating a series of explosive sounds, like thousands of angry beasts charging towards Bai Awang.

"Come on, this is more like it!!!"

Bai Awang's face was filled with madness, showing no fear whatsoever. Clad in a holy armor of radiance, he clenched his fist and thrust it out: "Only by defeating you can this boring game feel a little more interesting to me!"

With a single punch, a blazing golden light seemed poised to engulf the entire night!

The scorching heat made it feel like the sun was crashing down, and the terrifying force seemed to shake the heavens and earth!

In the sky, air waves rolled and roared!
As the air currents surged, countless gales raged, tearing the sand sea, which was tens of meters high, to shreds. Its power was like the collapse of the sky!
The sand sea was shattered by a single punch, and Gaara was sent flying dozens of meters away, his body dragging a shockwave in mid-air, his facial expression extremely terrifying.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this guy using?!"

Gaara's pupils narrowed slightly, and he immediately manipulated the sand to form a cloud beneath his feet, halting his retreating figure.

Boom!

Bai Awang's feet trembled.

The terrifying power directly crushed the ruins, and visible air waves surged like pillars, spanning hundreds of meters, and shot over like streaks of light!

"Sandfall Gun Burial!"

High-density sand rose from the ground, spiraling upwards in layers, and grabbed Bai Awang's body.

Meanwhile, the sand, refined from layers of metal underground, was shaped into a spear. Gaara clenched his fist and threw it forward with a sudden jerk!
The strongest spear – Shukaku's Spear!
boom--!
The spear pierced through layers of air, its speed and power suddenly reaching their peak!
Almost too fast for the naked eye to detect, it became a blur, streaking across the sky and crashing into Bai Awang with a deafening sonic boom!
"Holy Light!"

Bai Awang leaned back with his arms outstretched, as if embracing the sun.

The next moment, a magnificent and pure beam of blazing light descended from the sky, directly enveloping Bai Awang.

The sand that had trapped him dissolved in an instant. Instead of escaping, Bai Awang, now free, gathered the blazing white light from before and condensed it into a pure spear, which he then threw.

"The Spear Without Darkness!"

The strongest Shukaku Spear meets the Darkness-less Spear!
The two collided in the sky above the ninja village in the next instant, and the world instantly lost its color!
But in an instant, a deafening roar, louder than thunder, filled the sky!

In an instant, a fierce wind churned in the sky, and huge gusts of air spread out in all directions, like a mushroom cloud rising into the air, pushing away endless dust!

The light, expanded to its maximum, shone with a radiance sufficient to illuminate the entire ninja village, like a miniature sun!

Shukaku's spear was shattered instantly!

Fortunately, Gaara reacted quickly and narrowly dodged the flying spear of light!
However, the defensive walls erected by Sunagakure behind him were not so lucky.

The solid wall was pierced through, and then a shockwave rose straight to the sky, dazzlingly bright like the sun, filling everyone who watched with fear!
"No hand seals are needed, and there are no warning signs whatsoever."

Gaara broke out in a cold sweat as he frantically tried to analyze the opponent's ninjutsu.

At the same time, he rode the sand clouds, rapidly shifting his position high in the sky, intending to lure Bai Awang out of the Sand Village's territory little by little, thus avoiding large-scale damage.

"Think quickly, think fast!" Gaara's mind raced, trying to find the only way to win.

It doesn't require hand seals, isn't a ninjutsu, and is fire-based, extremely hot, and incredibly destructive. What methods are there to defeat this guy?!

Strands of glare formed shooting stars that streaked past Gaara!

Each time, he could feel the scorching heat wave, as if it would evaporate his blood, and the pure light was enough to blind his eyes!
"Soon, we'll be leaving Sunagakure!"

Gaara gritted his teeth and persevered.

However, Bai Awang behind him realized his intention and stopped immediately.

"Tsk, running around like a fly!"

Bai Awang was getting increasingly impatient; he needed to take his medicine on time!
"Hide? Since you're going to hide, I'll make sure you can't hide!" He spread his arms wide, and the vast rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, descending from the night sky: "Now, let's see where you can hide!"

"No!"

Gaara's eyes widened, but it was too late to save him.

boom! ! !
A pure pillar of light, imbued with the power of the sun, radiates an intense, dazzling white light!

It's like the dawn breaking through the darkness, but instead of bringing warmth, it brings deadly death.

The terrifying heat instantly vaporized hundreds of lives, large swathes of land crumbled and collapsed, and countless shrill screams echoed throughout the ninja village. "You...you bastard!" Gaara stood there, stunned, his heart filled with rage.

"Ha, not running anymore now?"

Bai Awang grinned, a smile that was undeniably sinister.

"What do you think human life is?!"

Gaara gritted his teeth, glared at Bai Awang who looked completely indifferent, and angrily questioned him.

"Of course, it's a game character~"

Bai Awang shrugged indifferently, looking completely unconcerned, and said, "What else can I think of you? You're just products of my imagination, your only purpose is to please me. Be glad you are, hahahahaha."

A madman, an absolute madman!

Gaara was furious, his anger growing even more uncontrollable: "It's confirmed, you're a complete madman!"

“Yeah, I’m crazy.” Bai Awang nodded seriously and said, “I’ll play with you for another half hour, then I need to take my medicine.”

Suddenly, Gaara felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak.

This guy just admitted it outright: he's a madman!
"What? You're not satisfied?"

Bai Awang shrugged and tilted his head to look at the angry Gaara: "Who told you to run around like a fly? What if you delayed my medication time?"

"Sand Prison Shot!"

Gaara didn't want to waste any more words with him.

The enormous, spiraling sand gun spun and fell with astonishing force, striking Bai Awang directly!
"Too weak!" Bai Awang snorted coldly, his body surging with pure, blazing white light, which suddenly spread outwards like a halo: "Solar Domain!"

The ring formed by the blazing white light melted and annihilated everything it touched along the way!

"Pure white rays!"

A scorching beam of light shot directly at Gaara.

The beam pierced Gaara's chest, but no blood splattered out; only sand fell away.

"Clone?"

Bai Awang was slightly taken aback.

But just as he was distracted, Gaara finally seized an opportunity. He had been waiting in the shadows for a long time and formed hand seals.

The sand, mixed with hard rock and metal, surged like layers of giant waves, directly engulfing Bai Awang in mid-air. The heavy pressure coming from all directions made it difficult for Bai Awang to break free!

"Sand Burial at the Waterfall!!!"

The sand sea, like a natural disaster, swallowed Bai Awang, and the enormous suction force, like quicksand, dragged him deeper and deeper underground.

"Not bad, that move!"

Bai Awang laughed maniacally, but this level of violence was not enough to kill him!
The next moment, pure white light burst forth from his back, spreading out like wings and sweeping away the layers of accumulated desert.

As the invisible pressure spread, it felt like towering mountains were falling, causing Gaara to stare wide-eyed in terror, his face filled with horror: "What are you?!"

Enveloped in pure white light, with six wings on his back, Bai Awang looked down at Gaara like a sacred angel.

"I?"

He grinned slightly: "You can think of it as...an angel!"

Angel?

Gaara felt as if his throat was blocked, and he didn't know what to say.

"Feel honored!"

Bai Awang wore an expression of great enjoyment as he looked down at the ridiculous humans: "I am a Sequence Two, a Sun Chaser, a true 'angel'!"

"So what!"

Gaara gritted his teeth, breaking free from the twisted illusion: "Even if you are an angel, I will not let you harm my village!"

"Tsk, it's almost time."

Bai Awang seemed to sense something and suddenly grinned, "Not bad, I had a lot of fun, but I need to take my medicine soon, so please leave!"

His arms, as if drawing a bow, gathered strength, and the pure, incandescent white light of his burning arms directly formed a bow.

The bowstring, a burning pure white flame, was drawn to its fullest extent, and a pure arrow formed solely from sunlight appeared prominently on the bowstring.

"Let's use this move to end this!"

"day by day!!!"

The bowstring snapped, and a pure, blazing white arrow shot out, tracing a dazzling trajectory across the night sky.

Like a shooting star, trailing a dazzling light, like a sun falling from the sky, it gradually magnified in the eyes of the people of Sunagakure below!
The blazing white arrows, like the setting sun, drew out streaks of energy that danced like dragons, crashing down from the sky!

"Empty sand wall!!!"

Gaara used a massive amount of sand to create a huge defensive wall that bloomed like flower petals.

Its vast area completely blocked the entire Sand Village!
Boom! ! !
A deafening roar unleashed a stellar destructive force upon the massive sand wall!
Rings of air currents, like tsunamis, surged through the sky, spreading outwards from the point of impact!

A gigantic mushroom cloud, as large as the sun, possessed a destructive power, radiating unparalleled dazzling brilliance. A massive ball of pure light stretched across the sky, and in just a brief moment, it tore apart the sand barrier created by Gaara, with a vast flow of air pouring down like a waterfall!

"came back?"

Inside the Aurora Society, Uchiha Itachi sat in front of the dilapidated temple, toying with a kunai and staring at the entrance with great interest.

"Well, I'm back."

The person who came out of the door was none other than Bai Awang, carrying Gaara, who had lost consciousness and whose body was charred black, on his shoulder.

He tossed it on the ground, scratched his head, and said with a disdainful look, "Don't come to me for this kind of thing next time, understand?"

"How did it get into this state?"

Uchiha Itachi's lips twitched slightly as he stared at the charred remains on the ground, which were almost cooked.

"Ah, we got a little carried away and went a bit too far." Bai Awang waved his hand, turned and left: "I'm leaving. It's nothing important, don't call me next time."

"it is good."

Uchiha Itachi watched Bai Awang, who was about to leave, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Was the Solar Path fun?"

"That's great, it feels much more fun than the audience approach."

Bai Awang thought for a moment, then turned to stare at him and said, "Why don't you try crossing paths? I think the witch would be a good option."

Uchiha Itachi's lips twitched, and he sneered, "No need, take care of yourself, you madman."
