Just as Kankuro and Temari had thought.
After receiving such a stimulus,
Gaara completely went berserk!
Coupled with his own Chakra being sealed and his body completely paralyzed,
the One-Tail's power instantly broke through the Seal!
"Roar!"
Accompanied by an inhuman roar,
Gaara's body also began to undergo drastic changes!

"Not good!"
Seeing Gaara's body begin to change,
Maki's expression immediately shifted.
"The plan is completely messed up now!
Damn it.
How is this Hinata so strong?
She actually pushed Gaara to such an extent!"
Just as he was feeling frustrated,
he suddenly noticed feathers beginning to float in the air.
This was an effect achieved by a genjutsu.
And as these feathers danced,
the audience in the arena also fell asleep one after another.
All those who didn't fall asleep were Ninja!
Suddenly, all the targets became clear.
"Hm?"
Seeing this, Maki was startled.
Then he was overjoyed.
"Is it finally time to act?"
…
"Damn it."
Orochimaru was also very frustrated at this moment.
"This is the second time!
Last time, I didn't see Sasuke's true strength.
I had originally wanted to see it this time.
I didn't expect
to encounter such a situation.
Gaara is truly useless."
Orochimaru was also helpless.
However, helplessness was useless.
Things had reached this point; some things had to be done even if he didn't want to.
Anyway, the fundamental purpose of him launching this Konoha Crush Plan
wasn't to see Sasuke's strength.
So,
he suddenly turned his head to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
And Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to sense it too, turning to look back.
"Move!"
Orochimaru gave the signal.
At the same time, he quickly rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Meanwhile, his subordinates threw a smoke bomb.
This smoke bomb seemed to act as a signal flare.
As soon as it was thrown, countless Ninja moved.
They swiftly rushed towards the Konoha Anbu hidden in the audience seats,
intending to deal with these Anbu first.
However,
these Anbu were not simple characters.
They quickly reacted and engaged in battle with the invaders.
…
Maki did not attack the Konoha Ninja.
Instead, he frowned as he looked at Gaara.
At this moment, Gaara was still "changing forms."
Because his Chakra was sealed, his body was paralyzed, and his mind was going mad,
he completely lost control.
His entire body was constantly expanding.
It looked like he would soon transform into the fully manifested One-Tail state!
"Gaara…"
Kankuro's eyelids twitched.
Looking at everything before him, he didn't know what he should do.
He was perfectly clear about the One-Tail's power.
Once Gaara completed his transformation, and the two Kage dueled over there,
then probably no one in this place could suppress the One-Tail!
"What do we do now?"
Temari covered her head.
She squatted in place, looking terrified.
Her premonition had come true!
Something truly uncontrollable had actually happened.
Fortunately, she had conserved her strength.
"Don't go near Gaara.
He has lost control."
Maki sighed.
"You two be careful.
Stick to the plan."
"Yes!"
…
The remaining people on the Konoha side who hadn't fallen asleep looked at the constantly changing One-Tail.
Their hearts were filled with panic.
"W-what is that monster!?"
"So… so terrifying…"
"Where is Lord Hokage?"
"Oh no!
There's a cloud of smoke over there…
Lord Hokage seems to be tied up with the Kazekage!"
"Damn it!
What is the Sand Hidden Village trying to do!?"
…
Just as a group of Ninja were panicking while resisting the enemy,
Kakashi stepped forward.
"Everyone, don't panic.
This is an attack launched by Orochimaru in conjunction with the Sand Hidden Village.
However, Lord Hokage already knew about it.
Therefore, we are fully prepared!"
Hearing Kakashi's words, everyone immediately felt reassured.
In their hearts, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the strongest Hokage.
With such a Lord Hokage present, what was there to fear?
…
"Indeed, there are preparations.
But can they really stop Orochimaru?"
Bai Hao quietly watched the scene before him, his brows slightly furrowed.
He didn't concern himself with Hinata's side.
If the enemy were the One-Tail at full power in the Desert,
he would indeed worry that Hinata might be forced into "Pikachu Mode."
But, now the enemy was just a berserk One-Tail.
There wasn't much sand around.
Therefore,
Bai Hao was so calmly watching the show at this moment.
"I always feel that old man Sarutobi Hiruzen is too confident.
He seems to be overestimating his own strength and underestimating Orochimaru."
On the main stage not far away,
the fierce battle didn't last long at all.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's three bodyguards were dealt with by Orochimaru's subordinates with just a few kunai.
Then the Sound Four quickly erected a barrier.
