Gaara opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The Rasengan condensed in Shikamaru's right palm pressed down from his chest. The high-speed rotating chakra continued to tear and destroy his sand armor. The chakra that had been condensed and compressed to the extreme was suddenly released and unleashed.
It unleashed huge destructive power, and in just a short moment, Gaara had already been seriously injured.
The scarlet liquid that was suddenly spit out did not scare Gaara. On the contrary, when his eyes fell on the dazzling blood, his pupils quickly contracted, and he opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and his eyes were gradually filled with bloodshot eyes.
The killing intent is gathering.
"Bang!"
The gourd Gaara was carrying on his back instantly shattered into pieces and turned into a large ball of tumbling yellow sand, flying out from behind him and grabbing at Shikamaru who was pressing on him.
Shikamaru's Rasengan had dissipated after being used. At this time, Shikamaru and Gaara were very close. When Gaara's sand grabbed Shikamaru, Shikamaru didn't seem to react, but his lower body was instantly covered by the yellow sand.
pack.
However, before the battle, Shikamaru had been worried about the destructive power of the Rasengan, and had already considered his backup strategy when the Rasengan failed to work.
There was still dark red blood at the corner of Gaara's mouth, but looking at Shikamaru wrapped in yellow sand, his face was covered with a cruel and ferocious smile. When Shikamaru saw this, he suddenly sneered, as if he didn't care about it.
He was worried about the situation at that time, and said with sarcasm in his eyes: "What are you so proud of?"
As soon as Shikamaru finished speaking, a weak fire suddenly burned from his chest, and Shikamaru, who seemed to be smiling, gradually twisted under the burning of this fire. Gaara was shocked.
In his eyes, the sound of "bang" turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared, leaving only two burning red talismans, slowly falling to Gaara's eyes.
Boom!
A huge fireball rose out of the air, and the scorching flames turned from small to large, instantly licking Gaara's figure, and accompanied by the fire, there was a deafening explosion sound, which Shikamaru originally made when he used the Rasengan.
The air waves and dust had gradually dissipated, but at this time the two detonating charms left by Shikamaru's shadow clone exploded again, setting off a larger momentum.
Except for a limited number of people, most of the audience could only see Shikamaru falling from the sky and delivering a thunderous blow to Gaara, and then a burst of smoke obscured the situation in the venue. Just as they were nervously watching the venue, anticipating the result,
There was smoke and explosion again. Because we couldn't see through the dust and fog, it was difficult to know what the result would be.
"It's actually a shadow clone!"
Compared with ordinary people, Hyuga Neji, who has the Byakugan, has a huge advantage. The clairvoyance ability of the Byakugan allows him to easily see through the dust and fog, and witness the specific situation that happened in the venue. When he saw Shikamaru - more specifically,
It was his shadow clone - after lighting the detonating talisman, he couldn't help but sigh and mutter to himself.
Not only Gaara, but also many ninjas in the stands thought that it was Shikamaru himself who fell from a high altitude and launched the final attack, not the shadow clone.
The biggest flaw of the shadow clone is not that it requires a huge amount of chakra, but its fragility. A serious impact will cause it to dissipate. Shikamaru uses the shadow clone to launch the final offensive. If there is a slight error, the shadow clone will be destroyed.
Gaara's attacks would be in vain if they hit him.
But at this time, it seems that using the shadow clone is not because Shikamaru is careless or careless, but because he has absolute confidence and a high degree of certainty in his plan, so he dares to use the shadow clone to complete the final step with confidence and boldness.
attack, and judging from the detonating talisman ignited on the shadow clone's body, it was obvious that he had already prevented many situations.
Seeing Shikamaru once again displaying this meticulous thinking ability, Hinata Neji's hands on his lap gradually clenched into fists. For some reason, he thought of the match between Shikamaru and him. After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly exhaled,
The corner of his mouth slowly moved, revealing a relaxed smile, and whispered: "It seems that I did not lose unfairly."
On the high platform, the highest point of the venue, Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, changed his attitude towards the competition in the venue from his earlier indifference to his current gaze.
Gaara is going to lose.
Or it's not accurate to say that. Gaara, as a Shukaku Jinchūriki, really wants to use the full fighting power of the tailed beast in his body, which is not something that a genin can resist. But when it comes to the problem, if it really comes to this point, Gaara's identity will be
It has been exposed, and the plan must be launched in advance!
"Oops!" Temari in the lounge was covered in sweat, her lips pursed tightly, her pretty face looked unusually pale, her mind was lost, she had forgotten Yamanaka Ino and Uzumaki Naruto next to her, and she said in a low voice.
"It's too bad, that gourd was taken care of so quickly!" After hearing what Temari said, Naruto Uzumaki smiled and said irritatingly. Naruto Uzumaki was very dissatisfied with Temari's previous behavior of reminding Gaara loudly outside the scene.
, seizing the opportunity at this time, he spoke sarcastically.
Temari, who focused all her attention on the venue, was in no mood to pay attention to Uzumaki Naruto's sarcasm. She was only worried about the smooth execution of the village plan. Gaara's mental state was already somewhat unstable before the competition.
Shikamaru's strength was so high that Temari couldn't even imagine it. He actually beat Gaara until he was almost unable to fight back. Judging from the situation, he seriously injured Gaara in a short period of time. From this point of view, Gaara's
The power must be exposed in advance, and Temari doesn't know what unpredictable impact it will have on her actions.
Just as Temari was worried, in the venue, Shikamaru had already neutralized the only remaining shadow clone. However, he did not take advantage of Gaara's injury after being injured by the detonating talisman to pursue the finishing blow. Instead, he stared warily at the dust mist that had not yet dissipated.
.
In the gray dust mist, a disgusting and disgusting aura spread among them. Shikamaru, who was so close, was the first to sense this aura that made strangers instinctively resist, that kind of resentful and cruel mental state, and even
It affected Shikamaru's mind to a certain extent, and a hint of irritability and fear slowly emerged in his heart, which made Shikamaru feel awe-inspiring.
"Blood..., let go of the restraints and enjoy killing to your heart's content, Gaara!" There seemed to be a deep voice in Gaara's mind that kept echoing, whispering, full of temptation, and the remaining reason warned him that he should follow the predetermined plan.
The plan was to wait for Feng Ying's prompts, then the full power of liberation could be exerted, but this voice seemed to know what he was thinking, repeatedly impacting his heart: "Plan? This is just a shackles imposed on you by others. You forget how they treat you."
Is it yours? Killing is the only way to prove your worth. Kill the person in front of you and return the pain and blood twice as much!"
"If your power is not enough..., then use mine!" The voice in Gaara's mind became louder and louder, and the remaining sanity was like a lonely boat in the stormy sea. The last roar of this voice was like a huge wave, and finally he was swept away
All reason was eliminated, and only the murderous intention lingered in my heart.
