A killing formation built from materials at hand, the One-Tail Jinchuriki's fighting spirit

Right at that moment.

"What is this?"

Kankuro's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at the scene before him.

Lightning Release?

How did they just appear out of nowhere?

He tried to back away, but his legs wouldn't obey him; his whole body was numb, as if he were frozen in place.

How could that be?

My fingers were shaking so badly I couldn't make a mark at all.

It was Lightning Release, or rather, someone used the properties of Lightning Release to spread out a large net.

Temari scanned the surrounding details, her gaze finally settling on Kankuro.

To be more precise, it was beneath his feet.

This thing?

Needle?

The thousand needles that the ninja from Rain Village threw earlier?

Something clicked in her mind, and she quickly scanned her surroundings again.

That's right, it's these thousand needles, and those black umbrellas.

"I understand now," Temari said, her tone somewhat complicated.

"What happened?" Kankuro asked quickly.

"The one from Rain Village who fought us just now used a specially made thousand-needle weapon and a black umbrella."

"That thing is naturally suited to absorbing and transmitting Chakra, which is why it hurts so much when it hits someone."

"But because of this characteristic, it also conducts things exceptionally quickly."

The lightning net in front of us was probably built using these readily available materials.

After hearing this, Kankuro also looked down at the ground.

Just as Temari had said, each of those thousand needles on the ground crackled with a ghostly blue light.

The arrangement is very particular; they attract and respond to each other, weaving together a dense, impenetrable electric grid.

However, this only applies to the ground and has no direct connection to the power grid in mid-air.

With just this little setup, its power couldn't possibly be this terrifying.

The ground naturally absorbs a large amount of electricity, and the soil and sand here are all under Gaara's control.

There shouldn't be a lightning strike of this magnitude on his territory.

Kankuro immediately remembered the black umbrella Temari had mentioned and quickly looked around.

The location of the black umbrellas was easily pinpointed.

Each umbrella is placed in a special spot, like the eye of a thousand needles array, echoing each other from afar.

That ridiculously strong electric current started spreading outwards from them.

"What is this?" Kankuro gasped.

"That's incredibly clever."

Pure Lightning Release simply couldn't create the scene we see now.

But after he messed with it like that, even the most ordinary small-scale Lightning Release became something else entirely, far from simple.

"What's even more frightening is that he just picked up whatever was available and cobbled it together on the spot." Temari's eyes were filled with shock.

She is a combat ninja who takes a strategic approach, and she sees things more deeply and clearly than Kankuro.

Therefore, the impact they suffered was greater and more severe.

That's a genius brain!

No, he's a genius!

How did he come up with this trick?

How did they manage to orchestrate all of this without leaving a trace, even under Gaara's attacks?

Gaara's Earth Release technique is naturally effective against these kinds of things.

What happened?

Wait a minute, where 'Gaara?

How could Gaara let them go so easily?

This is completely unlike his usual style of doing things.

What went wrong?

Thinking of this, Temari wanted to turn around and look at Gaara behind her.

"Crunch, crunch..."

She tried to twist her neck, but it was all in vain.

I can't move an inch.

My whole body was numb.

Temari sighed inwardly.

My muscles were completely numb from that barely perceptible electric current.

It's estimated that the current wasn't very strong at first, and they were so engrossed in their fight that they didn't notice it at all.

At a certain point, the intensity suddenly increased, and the muscles that had been permeated with a weak electric current instantly stiffened.

Was this also part of his plan?

So fine it's creepy!

Temari's eyes were full of wariness.

On the other side, Gaara's face was also filled with disbelief.

He had initially thought that when Wu Chiwu swung at his head earlier, he was trying to kill him.

Even if he is a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, I can't guarantee that he would survive if his brain was punched straight through.

If you die on the spot, even the best defense will be useless.

Defense needs to keep up with the speed.

But he never expected that Wu Chiwu would simply pat him and let such a good opportunity slip away.

What's the point?

Thinking of this, a hint of confusion flashed in his beast-like eyes.

However, he quickly brought his thoughts back to the electric grid that had suddenly appeared in the sky.

When did he make this thing?

I didn't even notice it when I was fighting him.

Did that guy not use his full strength when they fought?

Do they even have the time to do things in the shadows?

asshole.

Is this a sign of looking down on oneself?

A murderous intent suddenly surged from Gaara's body.

His struggles weren't in vain.

His body went numb earlier than Temari, and his condition was worse.

He shifted his gaze to the black umbrella in his hand.

The thing I picked up casually a moment ago has now become my most fatal wound.

Originally intended to shield against Wu Chiwu's blood rain, it ended up harming itself instead.

The black umbrella carried powerful electric currents that continuously flowed into his body.

The endless stream of electricity prevented him from using any Ninjutsu to defend himself.

Even the Sand Shield, which can move on its own, is helpless now.

Because he had already fallen into their trap.

But how exactly did I fall for their trick?

Gaara carefully recalled everything that had just happened.

The sand mixed with his Chakra naturally has a certain resistance to lightning.

Unless it's a powerful, high-level Lightning Release that tears through the defenses and breaks through, it's impossible to force him to this point.

The electric grid in front of me doesn't look like something created by a high-level Lightning Release.

It's impossible for him not to notice a high-level Lightning Release technique.

This is at most a minor Ninjutsu; it relies on gradual accumulation and accumulation, where quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

It's highly likely that Wu Chiwu secretly arranged for these simplified versions during a lull in the battle.

Gaara Temari, Gaara quickly saw through the lightning net's true nature.

He didn't waste any more time on that and continued to scrutinize Wu Chiwu's movements.

How on earth did that guy manage to paralyze his limbs with lightning in an instant?

This is simply a fantasy!

Could it be that...?

Gaara immediately pictured Wu Chiwu punching him face-to-face, and the time he slapped him on the head.

He always felt that there was more to that than met the eye; there must have been something ulterior motive involved.

Since the lightning could hit him directly, that guy must have done something to him when he got close.

What exactly is it?

Could it be?

Gaara's eyes flickered as he suddenly realized something.

When he hit himself just now, the Chakra in his hand felt strange.

At the time, he felt that Wu Chiwu's Chakra was too weak and his destructive power was insufficient.

Looking back now, it wasn't just simple Chakra at all.

It seems like there's something else mixed in.

He probably mixed these things into his sand, which reduced the sand's defensive capabilities.

besides...

The time he slapped his head was definitely to try and mix in this special substance.

That's why he was struck by lightning in an instant.

Gaara pieced together all the clues and quickly came to a conclusion.

A look of intense shock welled up in his eyes.

Is it really that simple?

He didn't use any amazing Ninjutsu from beginning to end, yet he casually shook me off and even slapped me in the back.

How could I have been so easily drawn into his fighting rhythm?

What level of skill does that require?

That's really impressive!

That kind of person deserves to be killed!

Someone who can rival him!

Gaara was filled with a fighting spirit, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.

Wu Chiwu, right?

I'll remember you!

The sand nurtured by your own flesh and blood will absolutely be the strongest.

A pure, lifeless killing intent exploded from Gaara's body.

This murderous aura stunned Kankuro and Temari who were standing nearby.

"This... Gaara, what happened to him?" Kankuro's face showed confusion and worry.

"As long as they don't cause any trouble, that's fine." Temari sighed, a hint of unease appearing in her eyes.

They have other tasks here, and it's really not appropriate for them to make too much of a commotion.

Gaara.
