That layer of " Sand Armor " that was always attached to Gaara's body and was said to be an absolute defense.
Surprisingly, cracks appeared under the residual force of that physical storm!
"Click click click..."
The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and finally, with a "bang," a large chunk of sand peeled off.
Gaara's pale face, contorted with shock, was revealed.
My sand... got blown apart?
Gaara stared blankly at the loose sand on the ground.
His already fragile nerves snapped completely at that moment.
He relied on the protection of his "mother" since childhood.
They were so utterly vulnerable.
"No... unforgivable..."
"Unforgivable!!!"
Gaara let out a piercing scream, clutching his head tightly with both hands.
The intense pain caused him to roll wildly on the ground.
Accompanied by his scream.
A vast Chakra, extremely cold, evil, and filled with a violent aura.
Like a dormant volcano finally erupting, it burst forth from his body!
"Boom!"
The surrounding air distorted under the surge of Chakra.
The sand that was originally scattered on the ground seemed to be summoned by some evil force.
They began to converge frantically on Gaara.
In the blink of an eye.
Gaara's right side was completely covered by thick yellow sand.
His right arm grew incredibly thick and strong, and sharp claws sprouted from it.
On the right side of his face, purple runes representing Shukaku appeared, and his eye turned completely black, with a golden cross in the pupil.
Partial Shukaku Transformation!
"Gagagagagag!"
A chilling, eerie laugh emanated from that half-shattered mouth.
"Finally out! I can finally go on a killing spree!"
This is Shukaku's destructive will!
Kankuro and Temari, who were some distance away, were so frightened that they no longer had the strength to run away and collapsed to the ground in despair.
It's over, it's all over.
Gaara goes berserk at this moment, everyone in this forest will die!
"Die! Die, all of you!"
Gaara, Partial Shukaku Transformation, suddenly swung his enormous sand claw.
A foul wind swept through, ready to tear everything in its path to shreds.
However.
His claws had only just been raised.
Kenya, sitting on the stone pillar, impatiently picked at his ear.
"So loud and disruptive, she has no manners at all."
Kenya stood up from the stone pillar.
"Looks like I need to teach you a lesson, you little brat, how to respect your elders."
Before he could finish speaking...
"Bang!"
A muffled sonic boom.
The top of the stone pillar beneath Kenya's feet was crushed into dust by the force of his kick!
Six Powers - Shave!
Before Shukaku's massive sand claw could even land.
Kenya's figure had already transformed into a black afterimage that was impossible to detect with the naked eye.
In an instant, it covered a distance of tens of meters.
"So fast!"
Gaara, who Partial Shukaku Transformation, was startled.
But he didn't panic; his remaining rationality made him instinctively manipulate the sand to form a thick sand wall in front of him.
"It's useless!"
Shukaku's arrogant voice rang out.
"My absolute defense is unbreakable..."
"Screw you!"
Kenya's voice seemed to explode directly in his ears.
The next second.
A right hand that gleamed with a dark gold luster, without any Chakra fluctuations.
It pierced straight through that supposedly absolutely defensive, thick sand wall!
It was as if it had passed through a thin layer of window paper, without encountering the slightest obstruction!
Armament Haki's absolute ability to detect physical objects!
The sand wall collapsed instantly.
Kenya's face, which carried a mix of roguishness and coldness, appeared directly in front of Gaara.
The distance between the two was less than half a meter.
Gaara's golden cross-shaped pupils contracted sharply, filled with extreme horror.
Before he could react...
Kenya had already swung his arm in full swing.
That right hand, piercing through the sand wall, carried a terrifying, destructive power.
It turned into an extremely loud slap.
It slapped hard across Gaara's half-sanded face!
Smack!
A slap, clearer and louder than thunder, echoed for a long time in the Forest of Death.
That slap.
There are no fancy Ninjutsu.
There was no dazzling Chakra.
It's pure superhuman strength, combined with the unreasonable hardness of Armament Haki.
"Boom!"
Under this solid slap...
The thick, indestructible Sand Armor on the right side of Gaara's face.
Like porcelain struck by a hammer, it shattered instantly into sand and dust flying everywhere!
Not only that.
That terrifying physical impact directly struck Gaara's body.
He looked like a baseball that had been hit and sent flying.
It traced a horrifying parabola through the air, accompanied by the ejection of several bloody teeth.
"Whoosh--"
Gaara's body crashed into and snapped seven or eight trees that were as thick as a person's embrace.
at last.
A loud "boom" resounded.
It crashed heavily into a mound a hundred meters away, creating a huge crater.
Dust flew everywhere.
The world fell into a deathly silence once again.
The Konoha examinees hiding in the distance stared wide-eyed, their jaws practically dislocating.
Temari and Kankuro were completely stunned, their minds utterly blank.
What did they see?
That monstrous younger brother who, once he goes berserk, becomes ruthless and even the village's Jonin him.
He was actually slapped hard across the face and sent flying!
And even that half of Shukaku's form was wiped out by that slap?!
Where the hell did this god come from?!
In the deep pit.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
Gaara lay sprawled at the bottom of the pit, his Sand Armor completely stripped away.
His right cheek was swollen high, with a clear handprint imprinted on it.
A trace of blood still clung to the corner of his mouth.
His eyes, which had become crazed and bloodthirsty due to the rampage of Shukaku 'Chakra, were now fixed on him.
It has now completely disappeared.
Instead, it took its place.
Gaara lay in the deep pit, his eyes shifting from madness to utter bewilderment.
