Among all the ninjas from the Northern Lands who participated in the competition, Dosu was the only one who was allowed to use the second stage Curse Mark.
Because his opponent is Gaara, who is ruthless and could really beat someone to death.
With Chakra flowing into his arms and fists again, Dosu broke free from the sand's restraints.
Gaara remained expressionless in the face of the drastically changed Dosu, but the ninjas in the stands cast curious glances at him.
Since many people have used this before Tayuya, Sakon and Ukon, and Kidomaru, it is probably not a Kekkei Genkai, but more likely some kind of secret technique.
Especially Kabuto, who was standing in the corner, had his eyes shining brightly at this moment. Perhaps he could possess this kind of power in the future!
Ignoring the murmurs from the stands, Dosu patted the Sound Arm Armor on his arm, and some sand trickled out.
Even without the bandages, Dosu's full appearance was still obscured, as he still had sunglasses stuck to his face, though his mouth was visible, allowing him to use mouth-based Ninjutsu.
"The real competition has only just begun! Fufufu...!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two started moving almost simultaneously.
Gaara manipulated the sand to attack Dosu quickly closed in and released the second stage of Gaara Curse Mark. This time, his speed was too fast for the naked eye to detect.
When he was about a meter away from him, Dosu immediately Hand Seals, gathered his Chakra, and then opened them. The next moment, he crossed his hands and swung them forward, and a ripple spread out again.
Almost face-to-face with the attack, Gaara's Sand Armor peeled off in waves, quickly revealing an empty shell.
"Sand Clone! When?"
Before Dosu could think too much, a hand made of sand reached out to grab him, Dosu immediately jumped away.
But you can't hide forever. Gaara had barely appeared in a corner of the training ground when Dosu pounced on him.
This high-burst state can only be maintained for 5 minutes, so he must race against time to eliminate his opponent within that time.
The sudden appearance of Gaara caught me off guard, and a powerful punch slammed into his chest.
"Sound Release: Sonic Boom Fist!"
The fist struck Gaara squarely in the chest, tearing a large hole in the back of his clothes.
Having taken a heavy blow from Dosu, Gaara's heart stopped briefly, and then he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Undeterred by his advantage, Dosu relentlessly attacked Gaara. The physical wounds were secondary; the Sound Wave Attack, now that the second Curse Mark had been broken, could not only control blood flow but also the heart rate.
Gaara very uncomfortable and disrupting his Chakra flow.
The audience in the stands were stunned by Dosu's sudden outburst, while the people of Sunagakure were even more incredulous.
"He... he actually managed to hurt Gaara! How is that possible!"
Whether they believe it or not, the fact is that Jinchuriki, is being overwhelmed by Dosu Gaara.
However, this situation was quickly broken. After a monstrous claw emerged from Gaara's body, Dosu immediately distanced himself.
Both of them were panting heavily, and it seemed that Dosu had expended more energy.
"It's appeared! It's the monster inside him!"
Baki swallowed hard, looking at Gaara with horrified eyes. He was Jonin from Sunagakure and had witnessed Gaara go berserk when he was still Genin.
Even after many years, I still feel fear whenever I see that monster.
However, the claws are now covered with a layer of sand, leading many to believe that they are claws that he has conjured.
"I have to say, you really hurt me! Hahaha..."
As Gaara spoke, he looked up and started laughing wildly, leaving everyone wondering what was wrong with him.
But the ninjas of Sunagakure knew that this was a sign that Gaara go berserk.
"Hmph! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have Tailed Beasts to help you! I, Dosu, will teach you a lesson you'll never forget today!"
As he spoke, Dosu charged forward again. Gaara was about to crush this arrogant fool when, in the next moment, his mind went into a daze.
Painful memories flooded his mind, causing him a splitting headache.
"What happened?"
The audience on the platform looked at each other in disbelief, and the ninjas from Sunagakure were even more shocked, all thinking that the Tailed Beasts inside Gaara was about to go berserk.
However, they quickly dismissed the idea, as Gaara's beast claws firmly caught Dosu's fist.
"You... was that Genjutsu?"
His response was another fist from Dosu. Even with Shukaku's sniping, the fist failed to hit Gaara, but that was enough.
A shockwave struck Gaara's body again, and it seemed that Shukaku inside him couldn't withstand the sound wave and immediately retracted its claws into its body.
Gaara's head spun again, this time from a mental shock, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose again, this time even more than before.
"Ugh... I'm going to kill you! I'm definitely going to kill you!"
Gaara, in a frenzy, had a ferocious expression and his face was covered in blood, completely unlike his previous calm demeanor.
Looking at Gaara, who was like a mad wolfhound, Dosu's heart sank slightly.
An ordinary opponent would have died or gone insane after taking so many blows from him, but the opponent in front of him was extremely tenacious.
His physical abilities and mental strength are unmatched by ordinary ninjas, and he even used Sharingan Genjutsu attack just now.
Although he only affected the opponent for a short time before the opponent broke free, he had already used all his skills. It can be said that he is indeed Jinchuriki. No other contestant would be able to do it!
Just as Gaara was about to kill Dosu at all costs, he suddenly heard the other man raise his hand.
"I surrender!!"
The moment he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent!
The sudden surrender caught everyone off guard, even the referee was momentarily stunned.
However, Bai, as if he had expected this, stepped forward and asked a question.
"Why admit defeat? Didn't you have a significant advantage?"
"My Chakra is exhausted, I can no longer fight!"
As if to confirm his statement, as soon as he finished speaking, Dosu immediately withdrew his Curse Mark, and he knelt on one knee, panting heavily as he supported himself on the ground.
However, he wanted to admit defeat, but someone seemed not to hear him, and a gust of quicksand continued to rush towards Dosu.
Upon seeing this, the audience members snapped out of their daze and exclaimed in surprise.
"No breaking the rules of the game is allowed!"
As he spoke, Bai, who was standing in front of Dosu, headed towards the swirling sandstorm.
The next moment, an ice crystal spread out, instantly freezing the sand in mid-air. The ice crystal continued until it reached Gaara's eyes before stopping.
Everyone was amazed by Bai's move, never expecting it to be such a rare Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.
The chill that hit me brought Gaara back to my senses, and no matter how unwilling I was, I had no choice but to give up.
He then glared fiercely at Dosu, who also looked back at him coldly, showing no sign of disappointment despite admitting defeat.
Just kidding, Dosu lost, but he had a blast. He ran away right after he finished fighting. Aren't you angry? Gaara is probably going to suffer internal injuries from holding it in!
"You're great! I'll remember you!"
Gaara said angrily, and left with a dark face without waiting for the referee to announce the result of the match.
Upon seeing that the other party had stopped, Bai immediately released the ice crystal. The sand inside the ice crystal seemed to have a spirit and immediately flew towards the gourd mouth behind Gaara.
The referee, having regained his senses, slowly stepped forward to announce the result of the match.
"Dosu, you're playing with fire!"
Haku looked at Dosu, who had stood up again, with a hint of helplessness. "Only you could possibly provoke Jinchuriki. If this were the Forest of Death, you'd probably be a corpse by now."
"Hehe! It's all thanks to you here, otherwise I wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!"
Lord Dosu, a master of courting death, may not have any other skills, but he is known for his incredible courage. Six Paths Dosu is fearless!
He was constantly flirting with death; even the King of Hell would have to tell him to take it easy.
Seeing the other party's glib and slick manner, Shiro knew he couldn't do anything with him. He decided to go back and let Kimimaro deal with him.
