"Boom--!"
The explosion of Explosive Tag in the most vulnerable part (tail Root) is extremely insulting to Gaara of Half-Tailed Beast Transformation, and the damage... is not low either.
The huge Tanuki tail was blown to pieces, with gravel flying everywhere.
"Ahhhh! Kill you! I'm going to kill you!!"
Gaara let out a hysterical roar. The severe pain and shame completely overwhelmed his remaining sanity, and the humanoid outline that was still barely maintained completely collapsed at this moment.
The violent wind and sand erupted like a tsunami, uprooting the surrounding trees.
"Is this... the power of monsters?"
Naruto, who was just complacent about the successful sneak attack, was knocked to the ground by this terrifying wave of Chakra. He looked at the Gaara in front of him whose body was rapidly expanding and half of his body had completely turned into a ferocious monster. His throat was dry, and his instinctive fear made his legs tremble.
"Hey, idiot! Get out of the way!"
On the branch, Pakkun screamed in horror.
Gaara's huge strange hand, which was made of high-density Chakra gravel, slapped Naruto who fell on the ground with the sound of howling wind.
"Move... can't move..."
Naruto watched the shadow fall.
At this critical moment.
A pink figure, like a moth to a flame, stood in front of Naruto and the unconscious Sasuke.
Sakura Haruno.
She was holding Kunai, and although her legs were shaking violently, they were firmly fixed in place and did not take a step back.
"I... I won't let you hurt Sasuke-kun!"
"Ant!" Gaara's eyes revealed a fierce look.
Boom!
The huge sand monster hand did not stop because of her courage. Instead, in a more brutal manner, it pinched Sakura and the tree trunk behind her tightly in its palm!
"Ahhhhh--!!!"
The screams echoed through the forest.
It wasn't just grabbing, it was crushing. The terrifying grip force instantly squeezed Sakura's bones and internal organs, and blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, dyeing the clothes on her chest red.
Her whole body was pinned to a tree trunk more than ten meters above the ground like a nail. She struggled painfully but could not move at all.
"Sakura!!" Naruto's eyes were about to burst, and his anger instantly broke through his fear.
And on the side and above the battlefield, in the crown of an ancient tree with the best view.
Ye Tian held the glowing "Recording Stone" in his hand, but his brows wrinkled slightly.
"Tsk... this move is too dark."
Ye Tian clearly saw Sakura's physical condition at this moment through "Heavenly Eye".
Inside the huge claw of Shukaku, the high-density sand was squeezing Sakura's chest crazily. Fine cracks had appeared in her ribs and her lungs were being compressed. If this continued for even ten seconds, her internal organs would rupture, leading to massive bleeding and death.
"Save? Or not to save?"
Ye Tian's fingers gently rubbed the cuffs.
His Life-Bound Flying Sword "Blood Drinker" is hidden there. As long as he thinks, Flying Sword can turn into a red light, instantly cut off the sand hand, and save Sakura.
But...
"In that case, Sword Qi fluctuations will expose my position and methods. In this forest where ANBU and Orochimaru's eyeliners are everywhere, something like Flying Sword that transcends the scope of ninjutsu will be endless trouble once it is exposed to the light."
"Moreover, this is also a key plot point that stimulates Naruto to explode..."
Ye Tian's eyes flickered, which was Cultivator's unique and absolute rationality in weighing the pros and cons.
However, when he saw Sakura's gradually dilated pupils, and his eyes that were still trying to look in the direction of Sasuke even when he was on the verge of death, Ye Tian's eyes that he thought were as solid as a rock, Dao Heart, finally fluctuated.
"That's all."
Ye Tian sighed and withdrew his hand from touching Flying Sword.
"Although I can't save you openly, I can still save your life secretly. After all... you are also one of my 'long-term meal tickets'. It would be a pity to die."
Ye Tian Put the two fingers of your right hand together, and the pure Qi Refining Fifth Layer Spiritual Power in your body instantly gathers on your fingertips.
He did not launch an attack, but drew an extremely complicated rune in the air at Sakura, who was trapped in Sha's hand.
"Go."
Ye Tian is a snap.
Phew!
A pale golden shimmer that could not be detected by the naked eye, and even Chakra could not sense, instantly crossed a distance of tens of meters, ignored the thick sand wall, and penetrated directly into Sakura's body.
[Secret Technique of Immortal Cultivation·Heart-Guard Spell]
This is not a shield against external forces, but a "reinforcement technique" that directly acts on the inside of the human body.
Under the blessing of that golden light, Sakura's originally fragile heart veins and lung lobes were instantly covered with a flexible Spiritual Energy film. This film is like highly elastic rubber. Although it cannot eliminate the pain of squeezing, it can protect the internal organs from rupture and maintain the last glimmer of life.
"Ahem..."
On the tree trunk, Sakura, who was about to suffocate, suddenly took in a sharp breath. Although the severe pain was still there, the dark feeling of being on the verge of death miraculously subsided a lot.
"Huh... As long as the internal organs are not broken, with this girl's physique and the training from Tsunade, she can be alive and kicking in a few months."
Ye Tian retracted his fingers and turned a little pale. This kind of delicate life-saving spell cast in the air took a huge toll on Divine Sense.
"I've lost a lot this time Spiritual Energy. I'll have to find a way to make up for it from these people later."
Ye Tian picked up Recording Stone again, adjusted the angle, and aimed it at Naruto below.
"Okay, the heroine's role is finished, it's time for the hero to appear."
Off the court.
Seeing Sakura suffer heavy injuries, Naruto's pupils changed instantly.
The originally blue eyes were now covered by a layer of vertical red beast pupils. The beard marks on his cheeks became thicker, and sharp canine teeth grew out.
A red Chakra full of hatred, violence, but so powerful that it was suffocating surged out of his body like a volcano erupting!
Boom!
The air waves rolled and blew the surrounding fallen leaves flying all over the sky.
"I'm going to... kill you!!"
Naruto fell on the ground and let out an inhuman roar.
"Oh? Did you finally come out?"
Gaara, who was already Half-Tailed Beast Transformation, felt the same kind of breath, and his intact eye showed extreme excitement and fanaticism.
"This is it! This is how it feels! Are you the same as me... are you a monster?!"
"Hahahaha! Great! As long as I kill you, my mother will be very happy!"
The two Tailed Beasts Jinchūriki are about to have their most primitive collision in this small forest clearing.
"This Chakra amount..."
Ye Tian on the tree, even though he was protected by Spiritual Energy, felt frightened for a while.
In his Divine Sense perception, the two masses of energy below are like two suns undergoing fusion reactions. One is violent sand (One-Tail), and the other is the flame of hatred (Nine-Tails).
"How is this Genin fighting? This is clearly the prelude to the fight between gods and gods."
Ye Tian licked his lips, and the Recording Stone in his hand flew up.
"This level of high-energy reaction material can definitely be exchanged for a lot of good things if you take it back to Jiraiya or Tsunade."
"But..."
Ye Tian glanced at the crumbling trees around him, silently posted a picture of "Adamantine Talisman" to himself, and moved back a few hundred meters to find a stronger bunker.
"Safety first, safety first. When gods fight like this, mortals suffer. For a sick person like me who is 'too weak to resist the wind', it is more in line with my character to stay away and watch the show."
The moment Ye Tian had just moved its position.
Boom!
There was an earth-shaking loud noise from below.
Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique erupted. Thousands of orange figures, like wasps crossing the border, densely filled the entire space, roaring and pounced on the huge sand monster.
"This is so spectacular..."
Ye Tian looked at the clones all over the mountains and plains, and couldn't help but sigh, "This is quantitative change leading to qualitative change. Although every clone is very weak, even Foundation Establishment Stage's monks will probably feel numb when they see this human sea tactic."
The battle has entered a fever pitch.
As the only "war reporter" and "nanny behind the scenes" in the audience, Ye Tian was chewing Soldier Pill and supplementing Spiritual Energy while patiently waiting for the "big guy" to appear.
"Fight, the harder the better."
"When the big Tanuki comes out completely... it will be the best time for me to harvest 'Supreme-Grade Spirit Sand'."
