Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

【"Quicksand Waterfall!"】

Even with layers of protection, Gaara felt it wasn't enough.

Raise your hand.

It's as if they're supporting something.

[He let out a low growl.]

[As Gaara's hands continued to rise.]

The entire arena floor underwent drastic changes.

The ground began to shake.

The compacted, hardened soil began to soften.

[Not long after.]

[These hard layers of soil were all shattered by Gaara's sand, turning into fine gravel that could be easily manipulated.]

[Boom! B ...

The earthen wall beneath Sasuke's feet was shattered.

Sasuke's expression remained unchanged.

He sensed it.

[I sensed a power hidden above the dark, heavy clouds.]

[Before the earthwork wall is completely shattered.]

Sasuke mustered all his strength, leaped into the air, and soared into the sky.

He held the Thousand Birds aloft in his hand.

[Sizzle—]

As if sensing something, several arcs of lightning struck down from above the dark clouds.

【Om—】

The blinding flash of lightning briefly blinded the audience.

[Upon recovery.]

Sasuke was standing in mid-air.

[His body was surrounded by countless lightning snakes.]

The Thousand Birds in his hand transformed into a blinding bolt of lightning, shooting straight up to the dark clouds in the sky!

[Skill... Success!]

[This moment.]

The air pressure seems to have been affected.

Everyone felt short of breath.

【"oioioi~!!!"】

"Kid, you're really weak!"

"You're scared by this little bit of lightning?"

【"Tch~!"】

"If word gets out, I'll be laughed to death. Such a weak Jinchūriki!"

"Take it, take it, don't bother me!"

[Gara heard Shukaku's voice in his mind.]

For some reason.

Gaara seemed to sense the tension in its voice.

Gaara's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

【Is it a scumbag raccoon?】

So cute.

Shukaku the One-Tailed: "..."

Gaara: "..."

This feeling is disgusting...

The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:

【boom--】

[The instant Shukaku finished speaking.]

[Gaara's body surged with a large amount of chakra.]

At the same time, the sand armor covering Gaara's body underwent a noticeable change.

All it takes is a single thought.

Gaara can transform into a tailed beast.

However, even without transforming into a tailed beast.

The defensive capabilities of the sand armor covering its body have also increased dramatically.

Aside from the unchanged appearance, it's almost identical to the tailed beast form.

Sasuke naturally noticed Gaara's changes.

[This moment.]

The last sliver of concern has vanished.

Gaara is immortal.

Sasuke's face was deathly pale, but a slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

He is a member of the prestigious Uchiha clan, and he has his own pride.

【"drink--!!!"】

[I have some thoughts on Luo Shi.]

[Suddenly raise both arms.]

[And then he raised his arms.]

The sand dunes also rose along with it.

"A grand funeral amidst the sandfalls!!!"

[Thump—! ...

A deafening thud echoed through the sky.

The air pressure inside the sand dunes was compressed to its limit.

【"Fool!"】

"Where are you aiming?!"

[Shukaku roared in exasperation.]

Gaara frowned.

Look up.

[Before he could see, his sand had not yet touched Sasuke.]

[It was shattered by the lightning snakes surrounding Sasuke.]

"What...lightning style is this?"

There is no answer.

"Watch out, it's coming!"

Shukaku's voice became much lower and deeper.

Clearly, it too sensed a threatening force.

"Absolute defense?"

"Hehe, let's give it a try then."

"Watch out, your sand...it's moving as slowly as a snail!"

Gaara looked up.

Suddenly, he squinted.

[I thought I was seeing things, but it was true; the lightning was indeed blinding.]

In the audience, everyone looked up.

[Everyone open their mouths wide.]

This is a battle of gods!

[Incredible...someone actually managed to stay suspended in mid-air.]

Without relying on anything else...

Tobirama Senju: "Ultimately, it's all due to external forces."

Tobirama Senju: "Besides, there are too many prerequisites."

Uchiha Izuna: That's good enough. We didn't have that kind of power at that age.

Tobirama Senju: "No, it's not just strength, it's also courage."

indeed.

What if we make a mistake?

As the caster, Sasgei.

Even a complete corpse is a luxury.

[Boom! B ...

Thunder roared throughout the heavens and earth.

[Chidori Ryuu in Sasuke's character has changed.]

[The connection with the clouds above has been severed.]

Only the blinding ball of lightning remained in his hand.

【Chidori.】

[Whoosh whoosh whoosh—]

At this very moment.

Above the dark clouds.

A sound like the chirping of tens of thousands of birds filled the air.

[Sharp and piercing.]

Many people experienced tinnitus and temporary hearing loss.

"The Glory of the Uchiha..."

"Starting today... I can contribute too!"

Having said that,

Sasuke closed his eyes.

Take a deep breath.

[When I opened my eyes again.]

His gaze became much more resolute.

[Below.]

[I have some thoughts on Luo Shi.]

Large quantities of gravel have begun to be recycled.

"A lightning strike from the sky..."

"Oh no, the corner!!!!"

[This moment.]

Shukaku realized something.

[There will be absolutely no reservations.]

Gaara was still in a daze.

After all, conquering lightning... that's just too incredible.

Even ninjas held a sense of awe for the power of nature.

[Kakashi's Lightning Blade, capable of severing lightning, might just be a coincidence, and perhaps a stroke of incredible luck.]

Otherwise, if the lightning had struck Kakashi, he would have been killed long ago.

[Boom! B ...

[And just as Gaara was lost in thought...]

[And in that instant, countless viewers held their breath, watching Sasuke's figure.]

A thunderous roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

[A flash of lightning.]

Everyone squinted.

[I forced myself to watch, enduring the discomfort.]

The sand surrounding Gaara had already surged to within several meters of him.

At this moment, Gaara's outward appearance is only that of Karura's absolute defense.

The body was not yet completely covered by sand.

Even if it's wrapped up, it's too thin... so it's the same.

The destructive power of lightning is never just the electricity itself.

【Om—】

[The next moment.]

Everyone's hair stood on end!

This scene appears extremely eerie.

But at this moment, nobody cares about any of that.

Orochimaru stood up abruptly.

His face was filled with shock.

Orochimaru was still able to maintain a semblance of composure.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing beside him, looked utterly pathetic.

A gigantic Qilin head, formed from lightning, emerged from the dark clouds.

Although formed from lightning, its eyes were remarkably expressive.

He was scanning the arena below.

[Lightning Release: Kirin!!!]
