"Quicksand Waterfall!"
Gaara did not really want to waste time. After testing Hyūga Jō with a minor technique, he immediately unleashed a major attack that engulfed Lin Guang and his two teammates.
As Gaara finished unleashing his ninjutsu, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to loosen.
The land within a hundred-meter radius turned into quicksand, ready to swallow Lin Guang's team under Gaara's control.
"You should use large-scale ninjutsu like this less often. I don't want our Konoha to end up covered in windblown sand like Sunagakure."
Lin Guang spoke helplessly, forming hand seals and stamping his right foot hard against the ground.

Lin Guang spoke, but Satō Maji had already said those words a moment earlier, so repeating them did not feel quite as imposing.
"Heh, we might not be able to beat you, but
