Chapter 304: The Request of the Sand Village (8)
Just that one strike consumed most of the chakra in his body. If it weren't for Xixi's support, he would have fallen down by now.
But the current battle situation is still not optimistic. This Qingming really deserves to be known as the ultimate ninja tool.
At this time, the rest of the people arrived here. Shikamaru looked at Gaara at this time. He had also heard that there was a monster sealed in Gaara's body, so it was called the ultimate weapon of the Sand Village. "Could this be it?"
"Has it already transformed into Shukaku..." Temari looked at Gaara worriedly. The enemy's target was indeed Gaara, but in this situation...
Shikamaru looked at Sakura, whose body was covered with scars, and walked quickly behind her. "Are you okay?"
Sakura shook her head and turned to look at Shikamaru behind her, showing an awkward but polite smile, "It's just that I used too much chakra, it's okay."
Seeing that pale face turn pale, Shikamaru stared at Sakura seriously, "As a medical worker, there is no need for you to put yourself in danger..."
When looking at the pair of black pupils filled with her own figure, Xiaoying couldn't help but turn her head away, "I know, I won't do it next time..."
What do you mean it won't happen next time? If there really is a next time, I will definitely be the first to run... It's really a headache. "Forget it, are you sure you are okay?"
Shikamaru picked up Sakura horizontally, which made Sakura stunned for a moment, and then she struggled with a red face. This... ...Everyone is here! "Huh! Huh? What are you doing!"
At this time, under the investigation of the Byakugan, Neji frowned, "What is going on? The chakra emitted by that guy in armor is more powerful than that of the half-orc Gaara?"
Sakura didn't care about being shy and quickly said, "That person is the founder of the Artisan Village. His name is Qingming. He was resurrected as the ultimate ninja tool. And that person also devoured Gaara's chakra!"
After listening to Sakura's explanation, Xiao Li recalled the man he had just fought. "Come to think of it, the enemy we fought before was also wearing similar armor, and he also took away a lot of my chakra."
Shino analyzed the current situation very rationally. "The armor that absorbs chakra and that abnormal form make it seem impossible to approach him easily."
Shikamaru also realized the seriousness of the problem. The gap in strength between the enemy and us was really too big. After placing Sakura in a safe place, he said, "So, what can we do?"
Qingming looked at Gaara who had left the cage, but in the face of such powerful strength, these were just futile struggles. "The battle with Shukaku was not what I expected, but this is also part of the fun. It proves that even Shukaku cannot defeat the ultimate ninja tool of our Artisan Village."
At this time, the half-beast part of Gaara that belonged to Shukaku gradually turned into sand and slowly returned to its original appearance.
Shikamaru looked at the scene and fell into deep thought, "What is going on?"
Sakura leaned against Shikamaru and slowly stood up, "Perhaps Gaara is relying on his own will to suppress Shukaku's power."
"Wouldn't this weaken your combat effectiveness?"
At this time, Kankuro spoke in a slightly dry voice, "Despite this, that guy still chose to fight with his own strength and consciousness, rather than the power of Shukaku that he could not control."
Maybe they didn't understand Gaara's thoughts, but from the perspective of Temari and Kankuro... ...they couldn't stop feeling sad.
All along, everyone just regarded Gaara as a weapon of the village, and this weapon was double-sided, so no one was allowed to approach or touch Gaara, even as his older brother or sister. If they had not participated in Konoha's Chunin Exam and the plan to aid Konoha, Gaara might not have changed like this... ...
Putting himself in such a situation just to save his students was something he would never have dared to think of before.
