"Kid, you're spacing out while fighting me."
While Gaara was adapting to the Six Paths Power, Yamanaka Batsu suddenly appeared in front of him. Terrifying Chakra energy erupted and swept outward as he threw a punch at Gaara.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Temari wanted to step forward and stop him, but it was already too late.
No one knew whether Gaara could withstand that punch. After all, his opponent was extremely powerful. Even if he blocked it, he would probably be injured.
"Gaara!"
The others who were fighting also turned their gazes toward him, worried for Gaara. After all, these people's target was Gaara. If Gaara truly lost, then this battle would practically become meaningless.
"Hehe. Don't worry, I'll only cripple you, then pull the Tailed Beast out of your body!" Yamanaka Batsu grinned viciously as his Diamond fist smashed down.
Boom.
The fist did not land on Gaara's body. Instead, a mass of soft sand wrapped around Yamanaka Batsu's fist.
Yamanaka Batsu's punch could not break through at all.
"What?"
Yamanaka Batsu stared at the soft sand around Gaara in astonishment. "This sand actually blocked my attack!"
While he was still immersed in shock, sand surged up from underground once more, trying to drag Yamanaka Batsu beneath the earth.
But the moment the sand drew near, Yamanaka Batsu broke free and retreated.
"Now let me experience the power of the Six Paths Power!"
Gaara shouted lowly, controlling the sand as it surged from beneath the ground, shooting toward Yamanaka Batsu like sharp spikes.
"Haha. You still think you can attack me with sand? Are you stupid? You think this can hurt me?" Yamanaka Batsu laughed loudly as he charged toward Gaara.
As for the sand's attack,
he felt no fear at all and made no attempt to defend himself.
