Sand Battle (Part Two)

From the Kirigakure competitors' seats, Yuri pointed at the arena and exclaimed gleefully, "After taking Chojuro's attack, that guy should be unable to get back up, right?"

In terms of single-target attack power, "Hiramekarei: Release" should be the strongest technique among the seven Ninja Sword Wielders.

However, the technique had a limited duration and could not be used again within a short period, making its flaw considerable.

Qi Shuang shook his head and continued, "One charge of vigor lasts through the first strike, wanes with the second, and is exhausted by the third."

"Although Chojuro's strike was extraordinarily powerful, after breaking through Gaara's two layers of defense, it had already lost most of its strength by the time it hit him."

"I estimate that Gaara suffered no more than a few superficial wounds. He's still far from losing his ability to fight."

After hearing him, the few Kirigakure Genin present were left speechless with shock.

They had witnessed the destructive power of "Hiramekarei: Release" with their own eyes, yet even that force was still insufficient to deprive Gaara of his ability to fight. It was simply unbelievable!

At the same time, after using his life-risking strike, Chojuro was somewhat exhausted. He gasped heavily while cautiously watching the Gaara who had vanished behind the protective wall.

Because during that strike, he had clearly sensed that he had not truly inflicted serious injuries on his opponent.

Soon, his premonition became reality.

All the yellow sand covering the arena began to leap like boiling water.

There was no doubt about it—that was Gaara taking control of the sand once again!

"My gosh! These two are both more incredible than the other!" Naruto exclaimed from the competitors' seats.

Through the sand's unusual movement, he also realized that Gaara was about to launch a counterattack.
