Yugito Nii rushed out of the dust cloud, her claws flashing with cold light.
Her cat claw attack trajectory was tricky, aiming straight for Gaara's throat and heart.
However, just as the sharp claws were about to touch Gaara's body, a wall of sand automatically appeared beside Gaara, blocking Yugito's surprise attack.
Yugito's pupils constricted. Her surprise attack speed just now had reached its limit, yet this sand shield seemed to have predicted her movements!
"Such fast defense... but..."
Yugito didn't stop attacking. Blue flames on her claws surged.
Breaking through the sand's restraint directly, she waved them again.
"Puff puff puff..."
Under Yugito's attack, sand kept falling to the ground.
Under such rapid attacks, Yugito also found the defensive loopholes of this sand.
When swinging for another attack, she deliberately let her left arm get stuck in the sand, while her right claw took advantage of this gap to directly penetrate a relatively weak spot in the sand shield.
"Puchi!"
With the sound of shattering, Yugito's right claw plunged directly into Gaara's heart.
"It's over..."
"Hmm?!"
Just when Yugito thought the battle was over, dozens of sand hands erupted from the ground behind her.
Coming straight at Yugito.
Yugito dodged continuously, but there were more and more sand hands, and her space for movement was constantly compressed.
"The touch just now... something's wrong, that guy..."
Yugito quickly broke away from Gaara's attack range, cold sweat seeping from her forehead.
This strange battle made Yugito lose her initial contempt.
Even, Yugito felt there might be a possibility of defeat.
"Crack crack crack..."
At this time, Yugito saw.
Gaara, whose heart she had just pierced, was slowly crumbling.
Turning into clumps of sand and falling to the ground.
"Clone?!"
"When..."
Yugito's pupils constricted slightly, and her whole person felt somewhat unwell.
So what she had just attacked crazily was nothing more than a Sand Clone!
The gourd behind Gaara shattered at this moment, and the boy walked out calmly.
"You are strong, but... you cannot defeat me."
As Gaara spoke, the scattered sand around him began to gather again, turning into a huge gourd appearing behind Gaara.
The remaining sand began to slowly erode the land beneath his feet.
"Matatabi!"
Yugito knew she couldn't continue like this.
Besides the power of the One-Tail Shukaku, there seemed to be something else on the opponent.
She wanted a quick battle!
Otherwise, once dragged down by a boy, regardless of whether she won in the end, it would be a failure!
Two tails burning with blue flames unfolded behind her, and her speed instantly increased several times!
Yugito turned into a blue blur, rushing in front of Gaara in an instant.
"Die, brat!"
Cat claws carrying terrifying Chakra slammed fiercely at Gaara's face!
"Boom!"
The huge cat claws were blocked by a massive humanoid sand shield.
Yugito still didn't see the opponent form seals, or even a burst of Chakra.
At this moment, a sand woman with a gentle smile held Gaara in her arms.
"Mom-Susanoo" (Note: Fan nickname for Karura's sand protection) triggered automatically.
"What?!"
Looking at the huge sand woman in front of her, Yugito's thoughts stalled.
With a technique of this intensity, how...
"Not good..."
"Sabaku Sōsō (Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral)."
Yugito suddenly realized something and wanted to flee far away, but Gaara made his move.
The surrounding sand quickly covered up along Yugito's cat claws.
This sand not only had extremely strong binding power but also carried the power of sealing.
"Crack..."
"Ah!"
In just two breaths, the sound of bone fracture came from Yugito's arm, along with her scream.
Even with Matatabi's Chakra protection, she couldn't withstand Gaara's full-force blow.
"Let her go!"
Killer B's voice suddenly rang out.
While being suppressed by Naruto, he forcefully split off an octopus tentacle and whipped it fiercely at Gaara.
Gaara frowned, but could only divert a portion of Chakra to control the sand to block Killer B's attack.
"Bang...!"
Sand and dust flew everywhere; the arm of the "Mom-Susanoo" was shattered by more than half.
But this momentary distraction allowed Yugito to seize the opportunity.
"Explode!"
She detonated part of the Tailed Beast Chakra, broke free from the Sand Binding Coffin, and retreated rapidly.
After pulling away, she looked down at her right arm, which was severely deformed with at least three fractures.
"This brat..."
Yugito gritted her teeth, a trace of fear finally appearing in her eyes.
She was a Perfect Jinchūriki!
Actually forced to this extent by a child who looked less than ten years old?!
"Thud!"
Just as Yugito was considering how to fight Gaara,
Gaara collapsed on the ground.
That's right, exhausted.
Don't be fooled by Gaara's calm and breezy appearance just now.
But... this was his first battle in front of his teacher Uchiha Kaze, so from the beginning, Gaara used two hundred percent of his strength to face Yugito.
Shukaku's power, his own power... and... the power left in his body by Karura.
Just now, he erupted to trap Yugito and blocked a blow from the Eight-Tails.
At this moment, Gaara was exhausted and could no longer fight.
Uchiha Kaze walked to Gaara's side, placing his hand on Gaara.
With the injection of a gentle Chakra, mobilizing Shukaku's Chakra, he began to heal Gaara.
Seeing this, Yugito wanted to rush over again.
But was stopped by the Yondaime Raikage's extended hand.
"If you go over now, you will die."
The Yondaime Raikage's voice wasn't loud, but it made Yugito calm down completely.
Standing beside the Yondaime Raikage, she began simple treatment on her arm.
On the other side, Naruto and Killer B at this time also erupted into the most primitive Tailed Beast Jinchūriki clash.
Killer B gave up using swords and also entered the Version 1 Tailed Beast Mode.
The battle between the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails proceeded with a simple and crude exchange of blows at this time.
Soon, Naruto couldn't hold on.
Even with super strong constitution and recovery, he appeared slightly powerless when facing Killer B.
"Bang!"
After another exchange of blows, Naruto's three tails slowly dissipated due to excessive consumption of Chakra.
His whole person was blasted flying.
"Brat..."
"An existence like you... if allowed to continue growing... will threaten Kumogakure!"
Killer B's eyes changed; it was no longer the look for a child.
But the look for a true opponent, a future great enemy.
Killer B took a deep breath, and the Eight-Tails' Chakra began to be released without reservation!
Directly entering Full Tailed Beast Mode, eight huge tails, wrapped with killing intent, smashed towards Naruto.
"Susanoo..."
Just then, an orange longsword with black runes slashed out.
Instantly severing those menacing eight tails.
"What... do you intend to do... to my lovely disciple?!"
A deep voice sounded, and behind Gyūki, a pair of huge Mangekyō Sharingan appeared...
