Soon, the last three exams of the afternoon began as scheduled.
Gaara and Dosu were the first to appear. Facing the strongest opponent from Sunagakure, Dosu was extremely excited.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, eager to prove that his strength was no less than that of Kidomaru and Sakon and Ukon.
Gaara, a formidable opponent, is just right for him; no one can stop Lord Dosu's rise!
"I hereby declare the competition officially open!"
Bai, as one of the referees, took the initiative to step forward and announce the start of the match.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Dosu launched an attack, while Gaara stood there with his arms Fudō, looking incredibly arrogant.
"Arrogant brat!"
Dosu threw a punch at him, but when he was still a meter away from his opponent, a wall of sand formed by a wisp of fine sand blocked his way, and no matter how Dosu attacked, he could not touch Gaara at all.
When Dosu realized that Gaara hadn't even opened his eyes, he became even angrier. This was blatant disregard for him!
In the Original Work, Dosu arrogantly challenged Gaara on the night of the full moon, only to be instantly defeated by Gaara in a single encounter.
But this time, Lord Dosu won't be so overconfident; at least, a quick kill won't be so easy.
Seeing that his test had no effect, Dosu immediately released the Curse Mark, because he already knew how terrifying Jinchuriki, and he was afraid that he would be eliminated if he didn't go all out.
He attacked Gaara again, and the audience thought that Dosu had run out of tricks. However, just as Dosu lunged forward again, the glove in his hand suddenly made a sound.
The three or four inches of sand blocking Gaara's path suddenly dispersed when it met his fist.
This scene was completely unexpected for Gaara. He had barely opened his eyes and before he could even show any surprise, a fist slammed heavily into his face.
Dosu's other fist followed closely behind, but Gaara reacted quickly and forcefully turned his head to dodge it.
Dosu seemed unconcerned about the missed punches and continued swinging at Gaara until Gaara backed away.
Gaara had just regained his footing when a wave of dizziness washed over him, and then he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
In the Original Work, Rock Lee was knocked down by Dosu with a few punches due to carelessness. Although Gaara has sand defense, the current Dosu is not the Dosu from the Original Work.
The people in the stands were quite surprised to see this. Gaara, who had been defending so flawlessly just moments before, was suddenly injured.
And how could he vomit blood from just one punch? This puzzled them greatly until a voice rang out.
"It's that glove. It seems like the other party is attacking using sound!"
Everyone turned to look, and saw that it was Kakashi who spoke, but even he didn't seem quite sure of it.
"A voice? Could it be the same Genjutsu Tayuya's?"
No one answered this time, because at this point, it was estimated that only Gaara knew the answer.
Gaara, having recovered, wiped the blood from his mouth and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Dosu's fists and the row of sound holes on his arm.
"Is it using the resonance of sound to break through my defenses? But what about that dizziness and restless blood?"
Little did he know that the gauntlets and arm armor on Dosu's hands were custom-made for him by the Northern Lands Research Department.
Since the researchers in the Land of Snow were able to develop Chakra Armor, it wouldn't be difficult for them to develop a weapon that could unleash Dosu's full power.
The gauntlets not only have a row of sound holes, but also can transmit sound at a unique frequency by injecting Chakra.
The method that broke through Gaara's defense was the principle of resonance. In front of these fists, his defense was like a pile of loose sand, a veritable nemesis of sand!
The subsequent punches were not only aimed at his ears, but also at the blood in his body.
The unique frequency can cause Gaara's blood to stagnate or even flow backward, which shows how terrifying this Ninjutsu is.
"I admit I underestimated you! But you've successfully angered me!"
Having suffered a setback, Gaara began to take a closer look at the enemy before him, and before he could finish speaking, he launched an attack on Dosu.
Sand flowed continuously from the Great Gourd behind him, rushing rapidly toward Dosu.
Faced with the raging sandstorm, Dosu remained calm. As long as he was fast enough, the sand couldn't catch him.
So instead of retreating, Dosu pressed forward. At this moment, he was in the process of breaking the first level of the Curse Mark, so his speed was extremely fast. In just a few flashes, he had already approached Gaara.
Gaara quickly returned to defend, no longer daring to let Dosu get too close.
However, this distance is enough for Lord Dosu.
Faced with the sand wall blocking his way, Dosu made a slight hand Hand Seals, then his five fingers turned into claws and he immediately swung them at the sand wall.
"Sound Release: Sound Wave Slash!"
When an invisible sound wave came into contact with the sand wall, the originally incredibly hard sand wall was immediately split in two.
The sound wave continued its trajectory, striking Gaara squarely. Gaara remained Fudō, and just when everyone thought the attack was over, another trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Gaara's mouth.
"Sound Release? I didn't expect there to be such an attack!"
The people in the stands were in an uproar. They thought that Tayuya's sound Genjutsu was already excellent enough, but they didn't expect that someone could be even more surprising than her.
Just kidding, don't underestimate Lord Dosu. Even if you're Jinchuriki, he'll make you cough up blood!
At this moment, Dosu had no time to pay attention to everyone's surprise. Having succeeded in his attack, he immediately pressed his advantage.
He moved closer to Gaara again, his fists raining blows on him.
Although the sand cushioned the force of the punches, Dosu didn't hurt Gaara with his fists at all; instead, he relied on sonic waves that struck Gaara.
Each time the opponent receives a sonic wave, the blood in their body will stop flowing slightly, and eventually it will even start flowing backward.
In just over ten rounds, Gaara's Sand Armor began to peel off, and blood began to seep from his seven orifices, making him look extremely miserable.
Finally, after using Sand Body Flicker to create distance again, Gaara, whose blood was flowing backward and whose face was red, became increasingly angry. However, he had already thought of a way to counter the opponent's attack.
Just as Dosu lunged forward again, Gaara suddenly formed hand Hand Seals.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough in Sandstorm!"
A gust of wind carrying sand blew towards Dosu, forcing Dosu to dodge temporarily. But Gaara's attack was clearly not limited to that; another gust of sand quickly swept towards Dosu.
"Not good!"
While trying to avoid the sandstorm, Dosu was caught off guard and his feet became entangled in the sand.
"Sand Coffin!"
As the sand slowly rose, Dosu's body was gradually submerged.
Next up is Gaara's Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral. No one can survive this move; it always works.
Before being swallowed by the sand, Dosu saw Gaara's cold, murderous gaze and knew he had no choice.
With a thought, the bandages on his face began to fall off, his hair began to grow longer, and two more black lines appeared on his face, marking the second stage of the Curse Mark!
