At those words, a savage gleam entered Gaara's eyes, and he raised his right hand in an instant.
Whoosh!
Sand surged forward, reaching to seize his opponent.

His eyes shone.
"Compared to Lee, his command of the Six Powers is even more refined. I can't see a trace of his movement."
"He's no slower than either of us," Kakashi said grimly.
