Just how powerful is the Nine-Tails?
In the Original Story, Fourth Shinobi World War, Hyuga Hiashi donned the Demon Fox Cloak, but managed to deflect the Ten-Tails' tail with a single, Air Palm strike.
The power of Nine-Tails's Chakra lies not only in its quantity but also in its quality.
Hinata's strength, even without using Senjutsu Mode, is only slightly weaker than Hyuga Hiashi's.
Their weakness lies in their mastery of Gentle Fist techniques and their lack of practical combat experience.
If Hinata, on top of possessing the Nine-Tails Chakra, were to use Senjutsu Chakra...
Let alone Gaara in his incomplete form, even if Shukaku in its complete form appeared, Hinata would still have a fighting chance.
"Let's go!"
Sasuke quickly Hand Seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
A massive fire dragon attacked Gaara, obscuring Gaara vision in the process.
"Ughhhhhh—"
Gaara was screaming madly; he was almost completely out of his mind.
Just as Gaara found that his body was completely unable to move.
His shadow had already become intertwined with Shikamaru's shadow.
A scorching fire dragon attacked, Gaara took the hit head-on from the Great Fire Dragon.
Hinata's figure followed closely behind the fire dragon as she rushed towards Gaara. Gaara struggled violently, and with the power of Shukaku, he finally broke free from Shikamaru's Shadow Jutsu.
Shikamaru's strength is still somewhat weak. Even with the help of Nine-Tails's Chakra, he is only at the Jonin!
As the fire dragon dissipated, Gaara immediately spotted Hinata charging towards him.
Wielding his now-dusted right claw, Hinata attacked Gaara with a frenzied expression.
'Squeak squeak squeak—'
The cry of Chidori rang out, Sasuke appeared behind Gaara. Chidori thrust out, and Gaara's sand-transformed right arm was instantly torn off by Chidori.
"Well done!"
Hinata focused her Chakra on her Byakugan, her gaze passing through the seal within Gaara's body, and saw Shukaku sealed within him.
He extended a finger and pointed it at Gaara's abdomen.
This time, Hinata's eyes showed no change, but this finger strike contained the powerful energy of the Nine-Tails.
Somewhere inside Gaara's body...
Shukaku could sense that the Chakra of a certain stinky fox was surging towards him through the gaps in the seal.
Shukaku struggled frantically, channeling all his Chakra to resist this force.
"Awoooooo!"
Gaara has become Shukaku's right eye, staring intently at Hinata.
Hinata was a little embarrassed. Why didn't it work this time?
Hinata nodded again.
Gaara's howls became even more piercing and mournful.
However, he still maintained his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation form.
'Bang!'
Hinata kicked Gaara, using the momentum to quickly retreat.
Gaara was about to give chase when Lee kicked Rock Lee hard in the chin.
Rock Lee leaped into the air, the bandages on his arm wrapping around Gaara, and he spun as he fell from the sky.
'Boom!'
The ground was smashed into a huge crater.
Although Rock Lee used the Front Lotus, his condition did not decline in the slightest. Minor injuries were healed almost instantly by the Nine-Tails Chakra.
That's how powerful the Nine-Tails is!
"Fang Over Fang!"
On the ground, before Gaara could react, two red and white whirlwinds struck Gaara once again.
Hinata landed on the tree, first gathering Chakra Fist, and then quickly merging it with Natural Energy.
After Kiba's attack, Hinata unleashed her Senjutsu Chakra fist and charged towards Gaara.
"Eight Trigrams - Sixty-Four Palms!"
Hinata didn't know why her pressure point technique couldn't defeat Shukaku, but those two fingers did seem to have indeed struck Shukaku inside Gaara's body.
Since that's the case, why not use the Nine-Tails 'Chakra, along with Senjutsu Chakra, to unleash Sixty-Four Palms strikes and completely seal off Gaara's pressure points?
By fusing the Nine-Tails 'Chakra with Senjutsu Chakra and sealing Gaara's pressure points, it might be possible to prevent Gaara from Complete Tailed Beast Transformation.
'Bang bang bang—'
After a series of attacks, Gaara was sent flying backward, and the sand on his body instantly lost all its power, turning into ordinary sand and falling to the ground.
'Bang!'
Gaara fell heavily to the ground, his own Chakra suppressed, and he was unable to use Shukaku's Chakra as well.
Ultimately, Shukaku's Chakra also circulates through Gaara's meridians.
When Shukaku's Chakra is unable to break through the pressure point blockade, Shukaku's power can no longer be exerted.
"Done!"
"One-Tail Shukaku successfully!"
Temari leaned against a tree, completely bewildered by what she was seeing.
Are Konoha's Genin really that strong?
Gaara, who had already Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, was completely powerless to fight back and was utterly defeated by Konoha's Genin...
It's important to know that back in Sunagakure, if Gaara lost control, it would take several ninjas to kill him to Gaara.
Even the Kage of Sunagakure would be alarmed.
Konoha's Genin... are they even stronger than the Kage?
Hmm... Although it's still a bit short now, in three years, the entire Shinobi World will belong to the Konoha Genin.
That will be an era where Kage Level Earth Flow and Jonin as dogs.
'Swish, swish, swish——'
The Konoha Genin landed beside Hinata. Looking at Gaara lying on the ground, Shikamaru curled his lip and asked indifferently, "What should we do with this guy?"
Hinata looked down at Gaara and snorted, "Of course we'll take him back to Konoha and use him to negotiate with Sunagakure!"
Hinata forgot about the bet Chunin Ninja Exams; she lost hundreds of millions of yen.
If Hinata doesn't get her money back from Gaara, she might be so depressed that she won't be able to eat for days.
Naruto looked at Gaara with a complicated expression, his face showing empathy, and said in a slightly tearful voice, "You... must be in a lot of pain!"
Gaara also looked at Naruto, his face expressionless, but the emotions contained in his eyes were equally complex.
Through this encounter, Gaara and Naruto realized that their opponent... was just like themselves.
But Gaara had no companions.
Not only does Naruto have companions, but he can also lend the monster's power to his companions.
Naruto happy, positive, passionate, energetic, and has companions.
Naruto greatly admires Gaara.
When darkness and light meet, it is always light that dispels darkness...
The light emanating from Naruto is dispelling the darkness in Gaara's heart.
Temari jumped down from the tree and stood in front of Gaara.
Even though she knew she was no match for Konoha Genin, she still resolutely stepped forward.
Gaara felt a slight stirring in his heart as he watched Temari figure.
So it turns out... I am not uncared for after all!
Gaara said softly, "Let it go..."
Hinata nodded her little head, then waved her hand and shouted, "Minions, take them back!"
Let Gaara see Naruto's life up close...
