"Do you have something to take care of?"
"No, we just came to have a look."
Xuanhui ruffled Gaara's hair.
"Gaara, how's your Sand Taijutsu Style coming along?"
"I can carry sand around freely now. My teacher says I've improved a lot!"
"Then let's go outside and see."
Xuanhui glanced at Pakura.
"Have you finished eating?"
"Yes. Let's go."
Xuanhui glanced at the Third Kazekage again.
"What are you standing around for? Go pay the bill!"
"You fucking..."
Holding Gaara in his arms and Pakura by the hand, Xuanhui had already run outside.
The corners of the Third Kazekage's mouth twitched twice as he turned to the clerk, whose expression was quite a sight.
"How much..."
The Sand Taijutsu Style was a combat method Xuanhui had developed based on magnet release's ability to control sand.
It used the momentum generated by taijutsu and the cutting power of wind release chakra to attack with sand.
"Sand: Diamond Blade!"
Gaara raised his right leg, aimed straight ahead, and delivered a high front kick!
A blade of sand trailed behind his right leg and shot straight forward, like the cutting gust unleashed by a sword swing!
"Sand: Desert Greatsword!"
Gaara leaped high and spun lightly in midair.
The sand wrapped around his foot transformed into a greatsword, swinging with his rotation before slamming into the ground.
"Sand: Storm Thrust!"
Gaara threw a series of straight punches ahead of him. With every punch, the sand on his arm transformed into a spear and thrust forward!
That was how the Sand Taijutsu Style worked. It wasn't simply a single jutsu.
Its benefits were clear, too.
In close combat, it greatly improved Gaara's previously lackluster taijutsu. Combined with the secret technique Karura had bestowed on him, it put him in a state of absolute defense.
