The final Eternal Work of Art
Gaara stopped in his tracks as black Iron Sand formed like ocean waves.
The Third Kazekage's Kekkei Genkai is Magnet Release, and the Iron Sand he uses is much heavier than the sand he uses.
Heaviness means great power; the Iron Sand can be condensed together and launched like Kunai, or like a slender Senbon!
"Isn't it asking me to die?"
The scorpion behind him smiled contemptuously.
"Surely the Fifth Kazekage couldn't possibly be weaker than the former Third Kazekage Third Kazekage, who was already dead."
Under his control, the Iron Sand behind the Third Kazekage was poised to strike, with Senbon of slender senbon needles as thin as pinheads.
Gaara expression grave.
"Shukaku..."
He silently called out Shukaku in his heart.
But before he could even ask a question, Shukaku snorted and said, "Don't ask me everything. I'm already being generous by giving you some of my Chakra."
"The extremely hard minerals refined from my power are something that a mere Kekkei Genkai can't surpass."
Shukaku paused for a moment, then continued, "You're not comparing your sand to mine, are you? My sand is far superior to yours. Among all the Tailed Beast, I have the strongest defense!"
At this point, Shukaku yawned slightly, his mouth slightly open.
"I'm going to sleep, don't bother me."
After Shukaku finished speaking, he fell completely silent.
Gaara nodded slightly.
His sand might not be able to compete with the Kekkei Genkai Iron Sand, but with Shukaku's power, his sand is no longer what it used to be.
The Strongest Spear "Shukaku Spear", Strongest Shield "Shukaku Shield".
Gaara emboldened, suddenly raised one hand.
"Flowing Sand Waterfall Stream!"
Instantly, the entire area of Yellow Sand began to tremble and surge.
A sea of sand, rising in layers like ocean waves, engulfed the Third Kazekage and Sasori!
"Shoot!"
The scorpion stopped refining the weight and penetrating power of the Iron Sand and attacked the oncoming sand wave head-on!
From a distance, all one could see was a patch of yellow waves colliding violently with a patch of black waves.
"Pfft--"
The sand and Iron Sand collided with each other, making a continuous "popping" sound.
It was obvious that the Iron Sand had a greater weight advantage, and with each collision, it was able to penetrate part of the sand and push forward a bit.
But the one who is most panicked right now is Scorpion.
"Damn it, is this the Chakra of Tailed Beast?!"
Scorpion gritted his teeth and shouted.
Although he had the advantage in terms of ability, Gaara, with his abundant resources, frantically manipulated the sand on the ground to surge up, constantly depleting the Third Kazekage's Chakra Core.
The Chakra Core is the primary carrier capable of replicating the abilities of Human Puppet in its previous life.
And the one connecting to the vessel is Scorpion himself.
In other words, Sasori's Chakra was also constantly being depleted.
At this moment, the calm expression on Uchiha Sasuke's face in the distance had long been replaced by shock.
His Illusionary Ninjutsu vanished instantly.
"What... what level of battle is this?"
He muttered to himself.
He dared not draw any conclusions. The attack ranges of both sides were getting larger and larger, and no matter how you looked at it, they were attack methods that could cause devastating damage to the ninja village.
"Gaara... is he really Kage-level shinobi? No, he relies on the Tailed Beast!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth, bitterly trying to convince himself otherwise.
However, what he said wasn't wrong; Gaara is indeed currently relying on a portion of the power that the One-Tail -Tailed Beast has given him.
If it weren't for the Tailed Beast, he would already be lying on the ground by now.
Even so, the Tailed Beast have already become part of his power.
Sasuke said that largely to escape the reality of being isolated, helpless, and having nothing.
He couldn't get involved in the battle before him, and he couldn't even utter a single word.
His fists had been clenched tightly for some time now.
Power! Anything! Tailed Beast! Being called Monster! Why don't I have something like that!
So what if I become Monster for power!
Why are they born with this ability?
Why do they not need to seek strength externally, but can find it internally?
Thinking of this, Sasuke's face turned resentful.
He couldn't understand why he, who needed power the most, could never obtain it.
"Boom--"
Just then, the confrontation between Gaara and Sasori ended with Gaara's powerful sea of sand covering the Third Kazekage, burying him beneath it.
"Damn it, I still have so many abilities I haven't used!"
"I'm not giving up," Scorpion said unwillingly.
The Third Kazekage is already considered one of his best Human Puppet creations.
Human Puppet that perfectly inherited the Kekkei Genkai the person in life, created with a great deal of effort.
"Desert Imperial Funeral!"
After the Sand Sea completely covered the Human Puppet of the Third Kazekage, Gaara did not hesitate at all and immediately clenched his fist.
The loose, flowing Sand Sea suddenly contracted, becoming taut against the ground!
The cracking sound of the earth breaking was incessant.
Gaara's Ninjutsu rendered the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet completely useless.
After sensing that the Three Generations Puppets had completely severed their connection with him, Scorpion chuckled softly.
"It seems that in the end, I'll still have to rely on my own work of art."
As he spoke, he ripped off his clothes, revealing that his body was also made up of joints constructed from various Puppets techniques.
The ability of the arm to extend four sharp, heavy blades also utilizes Puppets technology.
"It's no use, you're definitely going to die today!"
Gaara glared fiercely at Sasori, then waved his hand.
The sand on the ground suddenly formed a Claws exactly like Shukaku's Claws, and slapped it towards Sasori!
"Wait, Lord Kazekage!"
Just then, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
Gaara recognized the voice.
Grandmother Chiyo.
From the moment he sent Might Guy to find Chiyo to treat the poison, he knew that Chiyo would definitely come out in order to see Sasori.
He didn't initially intend to kill her; it was only because the other party insulted his mother.
He has no intention of stopping now.
A massive Claws approached the scorpion.
The blades that the scorpion had extended from its hands immediately began to spin, and it forcefully plunged both hands into its Claws!
The blade reaches its maximum rotational speed the instant it is inserted!
The buzzing sound and the clattering of objects on the gravel continued incessantly.
"I myself am the true eternal art!"
Scorpion laughed as he watched his hands shatter and send the massive sand shovel flying.
However, Gaara simply shook his head slightly.
He stretched out one hand and clenched it tightly.
"Sand Binding Prison."
The enormous Shukaku Claws instantly transformed, resembling a gaping maw, and lunged at Sasori!
Scorpion's expression changed slightly.
Even if he survives being encased in sand, his joints could easily become stuck and die if the sand gets inside.
But now his hands are firmly locked by the sand. It's more accurate to say that the sand has bound his hands rather than that he has drilled a hole through the sand!
Damn it!
