47 Ch 46 : Sasuke Vs. Gaara (2)

Sasuke kept shortening the distance between himself and Gaara.

The audience though suddenly noticed something wrong with Gaara's current state.

Gaara stared at Sasuke, full of gloom in his eyes as he lifted his hands directly into the air.

A lot of yellow sand was flowing out from the gourd on his back. It burrowed into the ground and started to stir frantically.

After some time, it had started to fill the entire venue, and even the civilians on the stands could feel the underground fluctuations.

"What the heck is Gaara doing!"

In the audience stance, the ninja of Sunagakure exclaimed in shock.

Gaara clearly intended to use all of his Chakra to ruin the Chunin Exam venue!

But his excessive use of power would definitely release Shukaku in advance and this was not in line with their plan.

If this were to continue, the Konoha Crush Plan would be disrupted.

"I'll let you see the ultimate ninjutsu and see what despair is!"

"Today, I will sacrifice your blood to Mother!!!"

Gaara smiled cruelly as he squeezed his hands.

Instantly sand started to climb onto Sasuke's body with a speed that couldn't be compared from before, covering it all.

Sasuke tried his best to raise his speed to dodge the incoming sand, but the sand was just too fast this time.

"No one can escape the range of my sand.. Now die for me!"

"Sand Waterfall Funeral!!!"

Boom!

Boom!

Continuous explosions could be seen in the battle arena.

Shockwaves broke out from the center of the battle arena and impacted the whole stadium, with only parts of the audience seats being an exception.

The Sand Waterfall Funeral technique by Gaara showed its might at this moment.

"Fourth Kazekage, I demand an explanation!"

The Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage, who was actually Orochimaru in disguise, sat together in the main stand.

A frown appeared on the Third Hokage's face as he saw Sasuke in a crisis.

Moments later, Sasuke's whole body was covered by yellow sand, buried in the ground.

Caught by such a big jutsu, Sasuke's life and death were at stake right now, and it would obviously be a lie if Third Hokage said he wasn't worried.

Sasuke was the last child of Uchiha, and he was an important asset to Konoha.

"Hehe, the Chūnin exam is a confrontation with real strength. The life and death of a Genin are in their own hands."

The Fourth Kazekage gave a chuckle, not paying attention to Third Hokage's sullenness.

Everyone thought the battle was over already and that Gaara had won this one.

But…

Gaara himself though knew things weren't so simple.

His dark eyes stared at the center of the sand. His hand started to tremble as he continuously supplied his Chakra to maintain the big sand mountain in the arena.

Then, it felt something beyond his control was about to breakthrough!

Time felt like it had stopped at this moment.

Gaara wasn't able to maintain his control over the sand, and right after that he heard a small whisper:

"Hinokami Kagura: Clear Blue Sky!"

BOOMM!!!

Sasuke spun his body horizontally to deliver a 360° slash.

Under normal circumstances, that should have only been a normal slash, but at this moment, Gaara felt like he was seeing things.

The moment the slash landed, all his sand scattered all over the place as a huge ring of fire rose into the sky. This dazzled the audience, who had just got to witness this beautiful scene.

"This…"

"No way... so cool!"

The audience was clearly shocked with Sasuke's reversal of the situation just now, and only Sanada was smiling with composure.

'Go, my edgy disciple. Show them what you are really made of..'

The audience stood up.

Shocked and amazed.

Everyone looked at the center of the venue in shock.

In the middle of where it all had happened, Sasuke stood up with his hair blown by the wind, which further magnified his charm.

Although there was some mud on his body, his face showed a smile full of confidence while his eyes started glowing red.

His Sharingan activated, and it was time for Sasuke to end the battle.

"Sensei said that this move is still a bit too much for the current me. But just this once (but just this once I must go all out), I will give you a good show."

With a loud shout, Sasuke's eyes turned scarlet in an instant and his body suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Sasuke then reappeared right above Gaara's head, with Yubashiri glowing redder than ever.

It's like the sight of the summer sun, which coincidentally was also the name of this move.

"Hinokami Kagura: Burning Bones, Summer Sun!"

It was the same move that Sasuke used in his spar with Sanada. After the spar, Sanada was able to fix some of Sasuke's problems with the move. One of the things they came up with was that combining the move with Sasuke's Sharingan would improve its effects and his control over it.

Sasuke unleashed a large circular slash that burned through everything in its path.

The blazing sword cut through Gaara's sand, successfully breaking through Gaara's impenetrable sand wall.

Now, Gaara was no longer the impenetrable fortress that he was before, as Sasuke's sword was ready to end him at any moment.

At the same time.

Feathers began to rain in the venue of the Chunin Exam.

The civilians in the audience stand, and some Genin who weren't trained to handle Genjutsu immediately fell asleep.

The Konoha crush plan.

The curtains of the Chunin Exam had been closed and now the battle which involved the interests of three big Villages would begin.
