[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

Sasuke's prediction was wrong. It seems that building the sand wall is not necessary to release the monster. Its meaning seems to be just to prevent Gaara's transformation process from being exposed to others.

Now that his vision was unobstructed, Sasuke could clearly see black threads climbing up Gaara's cheeks, pulling and swelling that half of his face.The part covered by the black lines faded from its blood color and gradually turned into a sand-like texture. Even the pupil of the left eye turned black and gold.

"Come on! Aren't you going to kill me?" Gaara roared at Sasuke, with saliva on his swollen side face like a wild beast.

He continues to change.

Sasuke tried to shoot a few shurikens, but he easily blocked them with his hand.One of Gaara's hands also turned into the flesh-worm shape he had seen before.

No matter what attack falls on the changed part, it is just like breaking up a pile of sand. No matter how it is cut off, the quicksand can still aggregate into the original shape.And this level of pain actually inspired Gaara's ferocity. He smiled ferociously: "That's it! That's it! Let me feel more that I am still alive!"

In this way, Sasuke could only jump between the treetops, and then try to attack Gaara's untransformed parts, completely removing his power and preventing him from becoming a complete body.

However, the sand that became Gaara's limbs was more flexible than before, and the amount was larger. It was not easy just to touch each other.

After several attacks failed to get close, Sasuke had no choice but to use his genjutsu, which was suitable for long-range attacks.Sasuke stared into Gaara's eyes, and the pupil technique he tried to use to create a flaw allowed him to accidentally see the full extent of the monster inside Gaara...

A huge, fat civet cat like a snowman with a belly.It was covered in black bloodline runes all over its body, locking it firmly in the center of the boundless desert.

The tanuki turned to look at Sasuke and screamed sharply: "Humans? I hate humans!"

Just saying a word, the huge shock wave quickly broke Sasuke's spirit and forcibly expelled Sasuke.

Sasuke almost lost control of his body for a moment, and he could only reach out to hold on to the branch of the tree to prevent him from falling.

The curse seal that had lost its mental suppression broke through the obstacle uncontrollably and emerged on Sasuke's neck. To make matters worse, Sasuke lost the strength to move in severe pain.

"Sasuke!" A distant call came from his ears. Sasuke opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Naruto and Sakura coming to his side.

"Hurry...go..." Sasuke almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "Gaara...is going to lose control..."

"Damn it, Sasuke, you're hurt so badly." Naruto and Sakura picked up Sasuke together, but Sasuke, who was barely able to stand still, let the two of them go first while he held Gaara back.

"It's too late!" Gaara had already attacked, "Go to hell!"

Naruto stepped in front of the two of them, but Sasuke supported his shoulders and thrust the long sword into Gaara's palm.

"Don't even think about hurting them!" The determination and fierceness honed on the battlefield came out at this moment. Sasuke held the handle of the knife and turned all the last chakra into Chidori into the blade.A sharp scream erupted from Sand's arms. After all, Sasuke's sword could not bear the force and shattered together with Gaara's arm.

Gaara pressed the arm that was missing most of it and stepped back, paying more attention to Sasuke's eyes than the injury on his hand: "Why...you didn't... until this time..."

He gave Naruto who was standing in front of him a hard look: "You...hahahahaha...are you going to die for your companions?"

As if Gaara was convincing himself, he rushed over without waiting for the wound on his hand to recover: "Only fighting for yourself is the strongest! I will kill you! I am the one who truly exists!"

"Don't fool yourself!" Naruto ignored Sasuke's previous warning and punched Gaara, "You are just envious!"

"Naruto!" Sasuke showed his anxiety for the first time so openly, but Naruto smiled back, and then mobilized all the chakra in his body to create thousands of shadow clones in the not-so-dense forest, occupying Every open space.

Although Naruto had once said that he sent out many giants to beat up Mizuki, it was the first time Sasuke witnessed it with his own eyes that he realized how shocking the scene was.

Sasuke and Sakura, who were no longer able to move, were submerged in the crowd, escorted by several shadow clones and quietly hid.The remaining shadow clones followed the main body's command and attacked Gaara one after another.No matter how fast Gaara moves, he can't stop the fists coming from all directions.

Gaara, who was suppressed by the dense fists and feet and was unable to fight back, finally completely transformed into a beast amid the siege.The giant tanuki that Sasuke had seen before appeared out of thin air, and its suddenly expanded body bounced away all of Naruto's penis.

"It's over..." the tracking dog, which had not attracted Sasuke's attention before, said, "Now it's too late to even escape."

With such a huge body, Gaara could overturn all the trees on that land just by turning around. He yelled: "Aren't you good at talking? Come on! Prove to me your existence!" In the forest A hunting wind blew.

Naruto was not intimidated by such a battle. He turned back and gave Sasuke a firm look and said, "Then let you see the results of my training..."

A burst of smoke dissipated, and a small mountain-like figure appeared in front of Gaara with a short sword on his back.

what is this……

Sasuke was shocked. This chakra was different from the nine-tailed chakra that Naruto had revealed before. It was obviously a power other than jinchūriki.Is this...the result of Naruto's training during this period?

Although Sasuke had always known how hard Naruto worked in training and believed in Naruto's potential, had Naruto unknowingly grown to the point where even he needed to look up to him?

With the help of the boss, the opponent who was originally thought to be impossible to defeat was once again brought to the same level.Although Gaara used the fake sleep technique to completely release the tanuki from the seal, Naruto quickly cracked his complete state under the guidance of the boss.

The huge tanuki was shattered inch by inch, and the beast summoned by Naruto seemed to have reached its limit and disappeared with a bang.The two of them suddenly lost their support and fell from the air. Sasuke reluctantly regained some strength and stepped forward to catch Naruto.

Gaara lay limply in the hole he had just made, his eyes distracted but still staring at the blurry outlines of Sauna and Naru.

"why……"

"It's painful to be lonely..." Naruto and Sasuke supported each other and staggered forward, "We are both Jinchuuriki, and I also understand how it feels to be hated and isolated..."

"That's why feelings cherished by others are so precious."

He lost.

The faith that had been supporting Gaara suddenly collapsed, his eyes gradually darkened, and he closed his eyes almost resignedly and waited to be killed by Sasuke.

Temari stood up at this moment and stood in front of Gaara.

"You are exhausted, Gaara and the little girl over there, you can only choose one." Temari unfolded her iron fan.

Behind Sasuke and Naruto, Sakura was being restrained by Kankuro's puppet.The talking tracking dog was held in Kankuro's hand and he tried to explain: "They attacked sneakily."

Gaara opened his eyes again and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

"Let Temari take Gaara away, and I will let them go." Kankuro said, "You have defeated Gaara, and you have achieved your goal of preventing him from threatening Konoha."

"It is true that Kakashi asked us to tell you not to chase after you, and now you have already exceeded the task." The dog added.

There is no choice anymore.

Sasuke allowed Temari to get Gaara up and take him away.

Kankuro, whose actual situation was not much better, did not want to cause more trouble, so he left Sakura and the tracking dog behind and followed the two of them.

"Let's go and see how Shino is doing," Sasuke said.

Now that Kankuro has arrived here, Shino's condition may not be good.

But they didn't expect that when they turned around and found Shino's location, he had already been rescued by the supporting team.The team that continues to search and rescue tells Sasuke that Shino was poisoned during the battle, and now he has used his bugs to detoxify him, but he is still powerless.

The riots in various parts of the village have been quelled, and the three people who thought they would not be taken to the hospital went back to the venue to find Kakashi.

As they got closer, the sky-high purple curtain showed that the internal duel was not over yet. Sasuke saw the tree roots entwining the dragon on the roof from a distance, and his heart skipped a beat.Such moves inevitably reminded him of the man who awakened Mudun during the Warring States Period.

Even Naruto said: "I don't know why, but it gives me a very familiar feeling."

The three of them jumped onto the high platform, but the darkness within the purple curtain blocked any detection.

"Has your problem been solved?" Neji, who had been recovering from his injuries in the room, walked out of the room.

"Well, what's going on here."

"The jonins moved very quickly, and the enemies who attacked were quickly dealt with. By the time I noticed the problem here, it had basically been solved. It's just that the battle between the Third Generation and Orochimaru continued, and they were already fighting hard. It's been a long time." Neji also looked solemnly in the direction of the purple curtain, "That barrier seems to be difficult to break, and other jounin and ANBU are also waiting for the results inside."

"Orochimaru?" Sasuke turned his head sharply.

"The Kazekage is Orochimaru's counterfeit." Neci gave Sasuke a complicated look, "I saw him telling the Third Generation that he had mastered the secret of immortality and wanted to cultivate you into someone you like and then use you as his next body. .”

"What!" Naruto's reaction was even greater than Sasuke's, and he immediately looked like he wanted to fight Orochimaru.

But Sasuke's focus is: "Can you see clearly what's going on inside?"

"I used to be able to see through the Byakugan, but after the first generation summoned by Orochimaru used the Dark Walk, I couldn't do anything about it. This seems to be a ninjutsu created for the Eye Technique." After explaining, Neji asked, "You all Don’t you care? You were targeted by Orochimaru and wanted to be used as a container."

Before Neji finished speaking, he saw Sasuke reacting as if he was belatedly reacting, his pupils shrinking sharply, revealing the horror that he was trying to calm down.
