Ōnoki praising the Sand Shield's abilities is no different from saying to Rasa's face, "It's good that your wife died."
Rasa merely snorted coldly, which was already a sign of his restraint.
The dramatic scene that unfolded on the podium left Mei Terumi and Darui completely bewildered.
After a moment's thought, Ren understood the reason and smiled brightly, but he had no intention of revealing the truth.
People will eventually pay the price for everything they do.
The battle continues.
The Rasengan in the hands of Naruto's remaining Shadow Clone clones began to dissipate. Since the Rasengan were ineffective, he decided to try other Ninjutsu.
This scene drew boos from the stands, but the boos stopped immediately.
Because Naruto's Shadow Clone had started Hand Seals, many of the audience members who had bought tickets were somewhat knowledgeable.
Do you know what the Hand Seals of ninjas represent?
'Zi-mao-xu'
With just three simple hand seals, Naruto's Shadow Clone was completed in less than a second.
All of Naruto's shadow clones took a deep breath, then exhaled, their heads turning as they did so.
[Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!]
One after another, crescent-shaped, transparent blades hurtled towards Gaara.
The audience in the arena could see it simply because it cut through the air, creating a noticeable visual difference.
Danzo's signature Ninjutsu was unleashed by Naruto.
Gaara is a turret, but isn't Naruto too? Aren't we Jinchūriki?
The first Vacuum Sphere struck directly at the sand sphere Gaara had condensed in mid-air, splitting it in two and causing it to fall as a pile of loose sand.
Faced with such a powerful Ninjutsu attack, and countless Vacuum Wave behind them.
Gaara finally moved, slamming his hands on the ground, and behind him, a massive amount of quicksand, far exceeding its own volume, surged forth from the gourd.
[Sandstorm Layered Funeral!]
The visual effect is similar to Water Release: Water Style: Waterfall Technique, with endless flowing sand forming a giant wave like a high wall, surging towards Naruto.
"Wow!"
The duel between the two sides drew cheers from the crowd.
This was exactly the battle they had been waiting for: a battle of amazing Ninjutsu.
The many ninjas watching the battle fell silent, their hearts filled with awe at the grand spectacle unfolding before them.
Is this what a battle Genin?
Then what am I?
This mindset wasn't limited to the ninjas in the surrounding stands; it also extended to the village leaders behind the main platform.
Are Jinchūriki really that powerful?
They're just children, why is there such a huge difference between them!
Looking at the five chair backs not far ahead, I felt a mix of emotions.
On the field.
Countless Vacuum Wave and sand waves began to collide.
With a single touch, the Vacuum Wave vanished without a trace, leaving only sand waves scattered in place, making it seem as if Gaara had gained the upper hand.
But that's just a layman's opinion.
The advanced Ninjutsu of Vacuum Wave, Vacuum Serial Waves, in Danzo's hands, is Ninjutsu Susanoo apart.
As a beginner, Naruto relied on the Shadow Clone to quickly master the Vacuum Wave.
Whether it's the transformation of Chakra nature or form, it's completely incomparable to Danzo's decades of research.
However, advanced Ninjutsu is advanced Ninjutsu; besides being difficult to master, its skill ceiling is also quite high.
Once it's used, it will naturally have its due effect. Although the Vacuum Wave and the sand layer dissipate upon contact, it has fulfilled its mission.
The sand layer was blown away, even several meters deep, from the surface. The sand layer didn't disappear simply because it was continuously replenished.
Naruto's Vacuum Wave also surged forward relentlessly, constantly aiming at the same spot and charging in fiercely.
The continuous Vacuum Wave converged at one point, while Gaara's Sandstorm Layered Funeral was completely overshadowed by the rest of the scene, which was just for show.
Finally, under the relentless attack of Vacuum Wave, the sand layer was completely penetrated, forming a huge hole.
Naruto saw Gaara behind him.
The sand layer that had been pierced lost its support and crumbled into soft, fluffy sand, obscuring the view once more. But for Naruto, that was enough.
One by one, the Shadow Clone dissipated, Naruto began to Hand Seals with great seriousness.
Because of one careless move, Naruto was doomed; it took Naruto a full three seconds to complete the six hand seals.
Naruto, having completed the Hand Seals, took another deep breath.
[Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!]
Having identified his target from that brief glance, Naruto unleashed his highest-level Ninjutsu towards the sand.
The Vacuum Serial Waves that Susanoo apart.
Layer upon layer of intersecting air waves churned the soft sand into a frenzy, swirling motion that traveled at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, striking Gaara behind them.
A large number of sand layers appeared out of nowhere in front of Gaara, but they only blocked him for a moment before breaking through and striking Gaara's real body before a new sand layer appeared.
Countless grains of sand emerged, as if trying to make up for the mistake just now.
The arena fell into an unusual silence as everyone awaited the final result.
A few seconds later, gasps of surprise rang out.
What is that?
"Monster... monster!!!"
"..."
After everything dissipated, Gaara still stood tall, but his appearance had changed drastically. His ears and pupils no longer resembled those of a human, and half of his body was now made of yellow sand with intricate patterns on it. Behind him, a tail engraved with similar patterns swayed continuously.
Gaara, possessed by a special Partial Tailed Beast Transformation his appearance.
Naruto looked at Gaara in the distance and thought to himself, "So he's serious? Then so am I!"
The next instant, Naruto, radiating golden light, appeared on the field.
