Battle of Sand, Part Two

Faced with this sudden barrage, Gaara looked somewhat disheveled.

He could only rely on his nimble movements, darting rapidly back and forth across the ground to evade the deadly Vacuum Bullets.

Fortunately, Gaara often engaged in fierce battles with high-speed ninjas like Kimimaro, accumulating extensive experience in dealing with such opponents.

Otherwise, successfully avoiding such a dense and swift barrage of Vacuum Bullets would have been difficult.

These Vacuum Bullets were not as easy to deal with as ordinary concealed weapons. They did not immediately dissipate after striking the ground.

Shukaku, on the other hand, remained brimming with energy and vigor.
