[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

Since Sasuke already knew some of the trends in the village, Kakashi did not deliberately avoid Sasuke during subsequent actions, and even took Sasuke with him to patrol the surrounding area on the day of the chunin exam.

Outside the venue, everything was business as usual, it seemed like they were just being preoccupied.

Or... the Suna Ninja dare to attack in front of the Daimyo. This is not something that can be explained after the fact, but a real tearing up of the contract and Konoha. No, it is the Kingdom of Wind declaring war on the Kingdom of Fire.

That's the worst case scenario.

"Since no problem is found, let's go to the game first and check the time..." Kakashi raised his eyes to identify the position of the sun, "You are probably late."

"What!" Sasuke, who was still worried about the sudden change, was shocked when Kakashi reminded him, "Did the Hokage not speak before the game this time?"

"The game that so many people are looking forward to will definitely not be as boring and disappointing as usual..."

Before Kakashi finished speaking, Sasuke had already rushed out and said from a distance: "You didn't tell me earlier!"

Kakashi touched his nose and caught up: "You didn't even ask... Anyway, the game will definitely not go on in the end. Do you care so much about the results?"

"I missed Naruto's match again!" Sasuke said, moving faster.

It's a pity that even if Sasuke speeded up a few times, Naruto would have already finished the competition by the time he arrived.

Off the field, Shikamaru, who was originally in the fourth game, was in a stalemate with his opponent, Sunagakure Temari.

To be so late... Sasuke felt a little guilty subtly. He had originally promised to see Naruto's performance, but he actually missed it both times.

"Ah, Sasuke!" Naruto didn't think too much. When he turned around and saw Sasuke in the audience, he excitedly waved to him, "You're finally here. I knew you wouldn't give up the game!"

"I'm too late." Sasuke walked over slowly.

"It's okay, your match was delayed, and you didn't lose the qualification." Naruto happily trotted over and pulled Sasuke to watch Shikamaru's match. "In the third match, the Suna Ninja gave up their qualifications. Fortunately Shikamaru also delayed you a lot of time."

Abstain?

Sasuke raised his eyes and looked at Kankuro over there. He was on the same team as Gaara before, and he was not weak at all. At least he shouldn't give up the game here.Sure enough... Is he conserving his strength for future actions?

But now that they have arrived at the stadium, they have to ensure the normal progress of the game before something changes.Sasuke also quickly looked away and looked at the dirty Naruto: "How are you?" As he said that, he naturally wiped away the mud stains accumulated on the side of Naruto's face.

He looked a little embarrassed, and his whole body was covered with marks from being rubbed hard on the ground.

"I won!" Naruto broke out into a big smile, smiling so hard that his teeth couldn't even see his eyes.

Sasuke rubbed his hair: "Good job." He often competed with Neji and knew the opponent's strength. Naruto would definitely not win this battle easily. "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"It's okay." Naruto shook his head, "The sealed acupuncture points have been unlocked by the Hyuga clan leader himself. After such a long rest, he has recovered a lot of strength."

The two chatted while focusing on the battlefield below.

Shikamaru, who had always had little motivation, actually used the tunnel created in the previous battle to extend the range of the shadow attack, and used the shadow imitation technique to control the enemy Temari, gaining the upper hand.

"Good job, Shikamaru!" Naruto cheered while holding on to the railing.

The other partners also enthusiastically encouraged Shikamaru. Just when everyone thought that he could win the game without any suspense with his IQ suppression... he raised his hand to indicate that he would abstain.

"Sasuke has arrived anyway, so that's it." He seemed to sigh, "Although I still have a hundred ways to win, it's just too troublesome."

"What are you doing!" Ino hammered the back of the chair angrily.

"Hahaha, but this is Shikamaru. He has no interest in these things." Choji looked as expected.

This Shikamaru...

Although he had seen before that he was a guy who liked to hide his clumsiness deliberately in order to save trouble, Sasuke could not help but be shocked by the thinking ability he showed after only a brief contact with him.I really don’t know if his brain is working too fast and consuming energy, which is why he is so unmotivated every day.

And now that this match has been decided by Shikamaru's forfeit, the much-anticipated match between Sasuke and Gaara has officially begun.

Gaara's state after entering the stage was even more manic than before. The flying sand even hovered around him uncontrollably, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

The strong smell of blood.

Sasuke drew out his long sword. Gaara, who had almost no sense at all, was full of flaws, but the sand was very flexible and seemed to be flying randomly, but it could stop the enemy in a position where he could hit him hard.

The absolute defense of Auto-Protect?

Sasuke tentatively moved closer and swung a few swords to check the opponent's defense method.Sand grains like flowing water swoop over, and it can even predict attacks in blind spots.Such fine control of chakra would never be something Gaara in this mental state could achieve. The sand was simply like a living creature.

Is this possible?

"Sand" needs blood as food to feed, and Gaara is just his host.

If the host is injured and bleeds...will the "sand" bite back?

"Let's try it." Sasuke's blade flashed a blue arc, "Will your sand be harder than rock?"

Sasuke suddenly sped up his movements.

With his rapid body shape and sharp sword skills, before enough sand could be turned around to defend himself, the long sword had already broken through the unformed sand wall and passed through Gaara's body.

The sand on Gaara's body was harder than the surrounding layer, and when it collided with Sasuke's blade, it was like scraping a piece of iron armor.But the blade of the Thunder Chakra became sharper in the end, gradually drawing blood marks on Gaara's body.

Seeing that the defense was ineffective, Gaara's sand armor separated from his body and turned into a body of sand, splitting into two ends and attacking Sasuke.

At this moment, a blue light suddenly appeared, and the sharp bird song pierced people's eardrums. Sasuke made a feint attack and used the blade of his sword to resist Suna's attack. The Chidori in his left hand pierced Gaara's shoulder blade!

"Ah——" The severe pain relieved Gaara's strength, and all the sand suddenly collapsed and scattered all over the ground.However, Sasuke suddenly felt a hint of danger and pulled away his hand and backed away hastily.

The next second Sasuke left the spot, the sand that covered the ground flew out like steel needles, nailing into Sasuke's palms.If he were a step later, he might be directly stabbed into a hedgehog.

Sand's attack worked, but instead of pursuing the victory, Suna formed an airtight ball around Gaara, completely separating him from the outside world.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing evining to me."

Why is this happening...Gaara...that "sand" is Gaara's mother?

The next moment, Huan's voice became sharp and shouted: "Kill him!"

No, something was going to hatch from that sand's egg, and he had to stop Gaara from going berserk.

The thunder and lightning transformed by chakra crackled and flashed on Sasuke's blade. Sasuke turned back and ran from the wall and rushed over, using one point as a breakthrough to split the buckler that completely enveloped Gaara.

A flesh worm that seemed to be made of sand squirmed and bounced Sasuke away, waving like an irregular polymer arm composed of thousands of slugs gathered in a pile. After throwing Sasuke away, it gradually retracted to Gaara.

Sasuke lost his strength and wanted to fight back, but the three people from the same team as Gaara had already blocked the way of Gaara who had returned to his original state.

Sasuke took a closer look and saw that the Kazekage was controlling the Hokage to jump onto the roof, separated by a barrier like a barrier. People in the stands all around had fallen down, and there was a huge roar from the north, and smoke was everywhere.

They have already started to act.

"Gaara's transformation was interrupted, and he's starting to have sequelae." The girl named Temari said anxiously.

"Then what are we going to do? Do we act without Gaara?" Kankuro looked at the leader.

The referee of this match has also stood in front of Sasuke and confronted the Suna ninja leader.The leader turned around to confirm Gaara's status and gave the order to retreat.And he had to stay.

"Go after him!" The referee only had time to say one word to Sasuke before he and the opponent got into a fight.

Sasuke glanced at Kakashi, who was dealing with the enemy in the audience, and followed his instructions.

He had already seen the opponent's trump card. Since the monster kept in Gaara's body was the main support for this operation, he could not be allowed to hide somewhere to recuperate before suddenly attacking.Since just interrupting Gaara's nest building can prevent that thing from appearing, he is still capable of fighting.

Sasuke left some simple signals on the tree trunks along the way to facilitate the reinforcements to follow, and then quickly chased the three of them.

But he was alone, and things got tricky when Kankuro decided to stay and hold him back.

This person was very cautious and did not even reveal his abilities before the game. It was impossible for him to achieve an instant kill.

"Leave it to me." Just as Sasuke was thinking about what to do, Aburame Shino said.

To be able to catch up so quickly, Shino must have noticed something strange on their side beforehand.

"He was supposed to be my opponent." Shino said, and the parasites living in his body had begun to crawl out of his hand.

Sasuke had learned a little bit about his strength through observation over the past few years, so he immediately said no more, agreed and continued to pursue him.

Sasuke had watched half of Temari's game, and with her strength she didn't pose much of a threat.Gaara, who is suffering from side effects, needs help even to walk, so it shouldn't be a problem to control him once he is found.You just have to be wary of him forcibly awakening the unknown monster regardless of damage...

Sasuke finally stopped in front of the two of them, watching Gaara push Temari out violently, covering his forehead in pain and shouting: "Stay away from me!"

It looks like the worst is about to happen.

Gaara is about to go berserk
