Teshima Matsuri and the other two, trapped in the middle, saw that Gaara had been restrained and were so anxious that they forgot they were only Genin.
They shouted as they charged toward Gaara.
"Lord Kazekage!"
Though Teshima Matsuri, Yukata, and Mikoshi were all Genin, they had always supported Gaara.
When the three rushed toward Gaara, the surrounding ninja did not react at all or try to stop them.
If not for their current positions and identities, they would have stepped in to save Gaara as well.
Fu Yi glanced at the surrounding ninja and saw that no one was stopping Matsuri and the other two.
Just as he was about to intervene, the monk Fa Yi beside him spoke. "Jonin Fu Yi, let them go. They can't stop it."
Fu Yi halted and looked toward Gaara.
Sure enough, when Teshima Matsuri and the other two reached Gaara and reached out to pull the chains from his body—
The moment their hands touched the chains, a powerful current surged through all three of them.
"Crackle... crackle..."
Lightning blasted through their bodies.
The overwhelming current nearly electrocuted them to death.
At that moment, Tenten rushed to their side, put on gloves, and punched their hands off the chains one by one.
By the time the three released the chains, their hair was standing on end and smoke was rising from their bodies.
They nearly passed out.
"What is this? Why does it have lightning too?"
Tenten stared at the glowing white chains in confusion.
Rock Lee, Hinata, and Ajisai appeared beside Tenten.
None of the surrounding ninja stepped forward to stop them.
Seeing Teshima Matsuri and the other two badly injured,
The expressions of the Sunagakure ninja grew increasingly grave.
They were beginning to wonder whether they had gone too far,
