After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

If the stimulated bones can be retracted into the body within a short period of time, the aggravation of Kimimaro's blood disease caused by this use of the bloodline limit will become negligible.

Ever since he discovered this, Kimimaro no longer uses his bloodline limit as casually as before.

At this moment, he focused his attention on the place where Gaara was knocked away.

The opponent is still covered with a layer of tailed beast chakra. Don't underestimate this thin layer, but the strength bonus it can give to the jinchūriki is enormous.

"Unlike that brat of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the One-Tails Jinchuriki of Sand Village has been able to initially call upon the power of the tailed beasts, right?"

Kimimaro narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gaara in this state still has his own personal consciousness, even if it is very weak, so the threat he poses is not comparable to that of a wild beast that attacks solely on instinct.

Moreover, the Tailed Beast Coat can almost double the abilities of the Jinchūriki, and has extremely strong wound healing properties and powerful sustained combat capabilities.

but......

Kimimaro suddenly discovered that Gaara's current state seemed to be different from the way Otontake had said that it was common in the ninja world for the Jinchuriki to mobilize the power of the tailed beasts.

His expression changed slightly, and he said to himself in surprise, "This guy...is he truly transforming into a tailed beast now?"

Creak! Creak! Creak!

A teeth-grinding sound of friction and squeezing was heard, as if a large tree were growing, twisting, and entangled at a speed tens of millions of times faster than normal.

During this process, the red tailed beast coat on Gaara's body turned into a flash of blood and dissipated into the air.

His right arm suddenly began to swell, transforming into a large brown hand with six sharp claws. The right half of his face also seemed to be constantly squeezed and deformed by some force, gradually transforming into a demonic state, looking like a young version of Shukaku.

Seeing the demonized Gaara, Kimimaro, who had a sullen face, suddenly smiled wickedly, "This way, things seem to become more interesting..." While muttering to himself, he suddenly clenched his teeth and let out a muffled groan. The next moment.

"Dance of Karamatsu!"

Dozens of white bones grew out of Kimimaro's body again. This time, most of the bones had no bone spurs, and the top of each bone was smooth and flat, as if it had been cut by a knife.

In this way, the Corpse Bone Vein is not only not easy to break in close combat, but also has a super high defense that can withstand great impact. And the more powerful the opponent's physical skills are, the more deadly the small bone spurs hidden in the gaps are.

There was a faint red light flashing in Kimimaro's eyes, which quickly disappeared. Then with a "whoosh", the whole person turned into a white phantom and disappeared on the spot.

Gaara on the opposite side was immediately enraged, and roared towards the sky, "Roar!!!"

Instantly, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and he turned into a yellow-brown phantom and rushed towards Kimimaro. Not only was his speed three times faster, but his posture was also strong. He twisted his body in mid-air and swept his strong right arm across!

boom--

With one punch, Kimimaro was hammered flying and embedded in a big tree with a diameter of more than ten meters.

The trunk of the tree shook violently, the branches and leaves at the top swayed violently, and green leaves all over the sky fell down with a rustling sound, just like a spring rain.

Click.

Kimimaro's body fell off the tree trunk, and although he was blown away, he did not suffer any injuries. However, the huge difference in strength and speed made his face darken, and he directly called upon another force in his body without saying a word.

In an instant, three dark crescents appeared behind his neck, and black curse lines extended from the fair skin under the torn clothes, and quickly spread all over his body, turning his skin color even darker than that of the Cloud Ninja.

Curse of the Earth - State Two!

Not only did black stripes appear on its face, its back bulged, and it grew a black tail like a python. The abnormality of its body after it turned into a snake also increased its internal speed and strength.

Kimimaro pulled out a white bone knife from his left arm, lowered his body, and rushed out like a dragon.

In just a moment, he arrived in front of Gaara and slashed with the bone knife continuously.

The Sharingan allowed him to keep his sight on the enemy even when moving at high speeds. When he got close, Kimimaro could also clearly observe the flow of chakra on Gaara's body, and thus determine the weak points of his body's defense.

His body flew up and down, left and right like a feather, and his white clothes spun and fluttered in the air. He used the force of the force to his advantage, and the force of the bone knife in his hand became heavier and more violent each time.

The snake tail behind it spit out seeds, and from time to time it would find the right opportunity to emerge like a poisonous dragon and stab Gaara's eyes, eyebrows and other fatal points.

Dance of Tsubaki!

Click!Click!

The yellow-brown sand wall on Gaara's body finally couldn't withstand the multiple blows and shattered, turning into grains of yellow sand that fell to the ground.

The super physical strengthening of the curse seal and the corpse bone vein, coupled with the assistance of the two magatama Sharingan, allowed Kimimaro to directly break Gaara's absolute defense!

Temari, Tayuya and the other three on both sides of the battlefield were stunned. The physical battle between the two monsters that did not resemble humans turned the surrounding area into ruins in the blink of an eye.

Wherever it passed, huge trees exploded, broke and collapsed, the earth shook continuously, smoke and dust rose into the sky, it was like a scene at the end of the world.

Temari siblings, Tayuya, and Jirobo all looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. "You're telling me... Gaara/Kimaro is a Genin?"

The forest is almost destroyed. Is this something a Genin can do?
