Gaara versus Sasori

"It seems that although this guy has defeated Deidara just now, he has also consumed a lot of chakra. Now, he should be borrowing the chakra from Shukaku. I really didn't expect that the strength of this Jinchuuriki is actually so strong. No wonder he could beat Deidara to such a sorry state. It turns out that he is a person who does not rely on the strength of his Tailed Beast."

Sasori was very experienced. Moreover, he used to be a senior ninja of Sunagakure. He was too familiar with the ability of Shukaku. He was the only ninja other than Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama that could deal with Shukaku.

"Come on!" After receiving support from Shukaku, Gaara regained the power to use his abilities. After all, he needed a lot of chakra to use his powerful wide-range attacks.

Fortunately, he was a Jinchuuriki. Even if he did not use the power of his tailed beast, as a Jinchuuriki, his chakra would also be affected by the tailed beast in his body. The longer the time passed, the greater his chakra would become. The stronger the tailed beast, the stronger the Jinchuuriki would become.

Naruto was the best example. His tailed beast was the strongest. During the Chuunin Exam, his chakra volume was close to a Jonin's. And later on, he was much stronger than Kakashi.

At the beginning of the story, his chakra volume was more than four times more than Kakashi, not to mention that his current strength was far stronger than the Shippuden version of him. After more than two years of training, God knows how powerful he had become, but it was certain that he was very strong.

"Haha, do you think getting extra chakra from your tailed beast would change anything? You are too naive." Sasori sneered again and again. When his scorpion tail danced, it was like a sentient venomous snake. It was able to break through Gaara's defense every time. The poison needles inside it started to pierce Gaara's body.

If not for his sand armor, Gaara would have already fallen. However, Gaara only allowed these poison needles to hit him because he had calculated that his sand armor could block the poison needles.

"Can you still dodge this time?" Sasori swept his tail and swept away the sand. He launched another barrage of poison needles from his mouth. However, Gaara did not even look at them. But he quickly changed his expression because after his poison needles failed to pierce Gaara, Sasori immediately stretched out his left arm. A machine gun-like contraption appeared from his left arm and launched a cluster of poison needles.

The newly-launched poison needles were stronger both in terms of penetration power and toxicity. More importantly, if the needles kept hitting the same location on Gaara's sand armor, the young Kazekage would definitely be poisoned.

"Sand Body Flicker!" Gaara, used Sand Body Flicker without thinking. His whole body turned into a pile of sand and floated away in the desert, narrowly avoiding the poisonous needles shot from Sasori's arm.

"Humph!" Sasori's attacks were not that simple. He kept launching wave after wave of poison needles in succession. It was as if his tail had a clone technique. The speed at which it moved became faster and faster, even leaving behind afterimages. Just as Gaara used the Sand Body Flicker to teleport to another place, Sasori's scorpion tail had already swept over.

"Hmph, the battle is over." This time, Gaara did not dodge. The sand behind him suddenly appeared and directly wrapped around Sasori's tail. It extended forward at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it surrounded Sasori's entire body.

"Sand Burial." Gaara opened his right palm and suddenly closed it towards Sasori. The sound that came out was not the sound of bones breaking but the sound of a puppet being torn apart.

"I didn't expect you to use my hardest place as an attack point. The strongest place is also the weakest place. I didn't expect to be found out like this. You're not simple. However, you just destroyed my masterpiece, so the price is your life."

Sasori's voice changed, becoming as hoarse as a young man.

As the robe was removed, what entered Gaara and his comrades' eyes was a beautiful young man in his teens. However, that appearance caused Baki and Kankuro's expressions to change greatly. Baki was a war veteran, and Kankuro was a Puppet Master. Of course, they recognize the person who just appeared before their eyes.

"It's Sasori!" Baki said in disbelief. The person who wanted to capture the Kazekage was actually the one who made great contributions to the village. Sasori was just like Orochimaru when he turned agasint Konoha.

"Is that really the genius puppeteer? But why does he look no different from when he was in his teens?"

Kankuro had always regarded Sasori as his idol, but he did not expect that the person he was always looking up to was actually the person who wanted to capture Gaara. It was really hard for him to accept.

"My motto is not to let people wait, nor do I want to wait for them. So I have to deal with you as soon as possible and let you see the work that I am most proud of."

Sasori did not care about the surprised look of the others around him. He just wanted to end this battle as soon as possible because he did not want to draw his grandmother out. If he had one weakness, it was definitely his grandmother Chiyo. Although on the surface, he seemed to be able to kill Chiyo, in the end, he still deliberately died in Chiyo's hands.

"That is...." If the most unforgettable person in Konoha was the Senju Hashirama, then the most unforgettable person in the Sunagakure was the strongest Kazekage, the Third Kazekage.

"It's the Third Kazekage! He was actually killed by Sasori!" Baki only felt his head go dizzy. If not for someone supporting him, he might have already fallen. It was too ironic. The strongest Kazekage was actually killed by the most talented Puppet Master and died at the hands of his own people.

"Oh no. Anyone, quick! Stop Gaara! He's a sand user. The Third Kazekage is simply his nemesis." Baki seemed to have thought of something and immediately shouted, but unfortunately, it was already too late at this time because the battle had already started.

"I'll let you see what real sand is, Iron Sand Drizzle!" Sasori replicated the Third Kazekage's hand seals. Using the magnetic properties of the Third Kazekage's iron sand, he created a cluster of bullets to attack Gaara. Its power was comparably stronger than Gaara's Sand Drizzle.

"Absolute Defense!" Just one attack was enough to force Gaara to use his absolute defense. It wasn't that Sasori was much stronger than him, but the Third Kazekage's ability was Gaara's nemesis.

Of course, Sasori himself was a Kage-level expert. But Gaara had yet to reach the same level. Although the difference in their strength was not far as heaven and earth, the gap is still relatively large. Therefore, even without the Iron Sand, with Sasori's current strength, he could still defeat Gaara. After all, the puppeteer was much stronger than Deidara.
