Naruto's Endless Pretense

Chapter 54 Anticlimactic Battle

Chakra is formed by the fusion of physical energy and mental energy. When the Sharingan is sealed and the physical strength is reduced by 50%, although Sasuke is not powerless, his endurance is greatly reduced.

As a result, the ice escape mode that consumes a lot of chakra cannot be used, and the pretend escape mode that consumes eye power cannot be used. The only ones that can be relied on are thunder escape and sword skills.

In fact, if his physical strength had not been reduced too much, Sasuke would not have wanted to use the Thunder Blade.Even if he is one of the Seven Ninja Swords, Sasuke only had it for such a short time that he could not fully figure out how to use it.

What's more important is that Sasuke is practicing Nitana-ryu, and Niten's first-class swordsmanship has only been imagined.But the situation no longer allowed Sasuke to think more.

Thunder Release·Double Thunder Cut!

Unlike Raiga who simply transfers chakra into the sword, Sasuke's Chidori Blade cast through the seal is sharper, and the speed is further increased under the stimulation of Raichakra.

With his two swords dancing wildly, Sasuke quickly split open the quicksand of Gaara's self-defense and approached him.Then, he hit the tree behind Gaara, and the sharp knives were deeply inserted into the trunk of the tree.

The scene was very awkward and silent for a time, and even Gaara, who was normally calm and composed, began to have black lines on his face.

"It seems like you're not in the right state."

"Trouble, I've been discovered."

Sasuke let go of the Chidori on his sword and cursed inwardly.Focusing on improving the sharpness, I forgot that the Chidori must use the Sharingan.Introducing normal chakra into the thunder sword again, Sasuke relied only on his own speed to cut into Gaara's close body.

Facing Sasuke's continuous half-baked attacks, Gaara responded calmly.Sasuke's speed was not slow, but his swordsmanship was not up to par. Gaara could defend against those uppercuts and slashes whose trajectory could be seen at a glance as long as he controlled the quicksand a little.

After more than a dozen moves, Sasuke also discovered this, so he inserted the thunder sword in his left hand into the ground and dealt with Gaara with only the thunder sword in his right hand.Then turn on the medical chakra mode to further enhance your body's strength and at the same time heal the wounds cut by the endless sand.

However, the medical chakra mode consumes a lot of physical strength, so it must be done quickly.

Sasuke, who abandoned the Niten First Class and used the medical chakra mode, immediately turned into an elusive green whirlwind in Gaara's eyes.The sand defense speed could not keep up with Sasuke's attack, so he had no choice but to use the sand armor to form an absolute defense.

"It seems that even if I'm not in good condition, you can't do anything to me today."

Seeing Gaara's sand armor constantly shattering on his body, Sasuke further increased his strength and kicked Gaara hard on the chin.

Gaara realized that this kick could not be defended by sand armor alone, and the speed of sand shield condensation could not keep up, so he planned to move his body to dodge, but at this moment, he was suddenly paralyzed and unable to move.He leaned over and saw that Sasuke's thunder knife inserted into the ground released a powerful electric current through the ground.

Thunder Tun Go!

Taking advantage of Gaara's paralysis, Sasuke kicked Gaara hard and used the Konoha Bad Rock to kick Gaara high into the air.Then he leaned tightly against Gaara's back with Kage Maiha, holding the thunder sword's right hand and used Chidori again.

"Although I'm not yet proficient at it, I can give you a taste of the power of this ninja sword."

As Sasuke injected more and more chakra into the air with his thunder knife, more dark clouds gathered in the originally gloomy sky, and there was a faint sound of thunder.

Sasuke felt that he was almost ready. He turned around and kicked Gaara, who was unable to resist in the air, to the ground with a roundhouse kick. He raised the thunder knife held in his right hand high, and the sound of Chidori's clicking became violent again.

With a "whoosh" sound, a bolt of lightning descended from the dark clouds and attached to the thunder knife.Sasuke endured the paralysis and manipulated chakra to deform the lightning, slashing at Gaara with all his strength.Gaara's body, along with the gourd, was chopped into two pieces in the air.

But it was just a sand clone.When Sasuke was kneeling on the ground panting, Gaara quietly emerged from the sand behind him, and with a quick grab, several small sand hands controlled Sasuke.

"Why don't you use the Sharingan? Otherwise, you won't be able to detect even my Substitution Technique."

Gaara crossed his arms and looked directly at the restrained Sasuke.

Do I want to use it too?But it doesn’t work!

"That day you cut me easily and silenced me. You said you wanted to fight me when I was in full condition."

With a complex expression, Gaara pressed his abdomen, where Shukaku was sealed.

"I will return this sentence to you today, wait

After you recover, we will fight between life and death. "

As he spoke, Gaara dispersed the sand on Sasuke's body and took two steps back to show that he had no intention of doing anything.Everyone around looked at Gaara in surprise, especially Temari and Kankuro, as if they saw the sun coming out of the west.

Sasuke was also secretly surprised. Although he still had many ways to break free from Gaara's sand, he never expected to be let go so easily.Is this still the cruel and easy-to-kill Shura?

"I said it from the beginning, I'm not here to fight." Gaara explained expressionlessly, seemingly sensing everyone's confusion.

"Then why did you release the sand in the first place?" The impatient Naruto was the first to ask.

"That was just a test. I wanted to see if Uchiha Sasuke would take action for the new students in the same period." Gaara remained expressionless, as if he was explaining something that everyone understood.

Sasuke picked up the thunder knife stuck in the ground and sealed it in the scroll again.Then he asked Gaara with the same stiff expression and flat voice: "Since you are not here to fight, what is your purpose? You also captured three hostages as bargaining chips."

"Last year, Temari came back from a mission and told me that there was someone whose water style was very similar to mine. That's when I started investigating you, Sasuke."

"I know your past quite clearly. As an Avenger, you should feel the same hatred in this world as I do. But the first time I saw you, I discovered that there was no such thing in your eyes. .”

Gaara said as he took a step forward, and the sand that had shrunk around him began to spread again.

"So tell me, what exactly changed you?"

"If I don't find an answer that satisfies you, are you going to go on a killing spree?"

Gaara didn't answer, but the faint murderous aura filling the air already told everyone Gaara's answer.

Sasuke also left a few drops of cold sweat. If Gaara was determined to kill everyone on his side, he could only escape with the Flying Thunder God in his current state, and Hinata and the other three might not be able to be saved. .

This answer is very important, but Sasuke can't directly tell him that he traveled through time, right?

"I'm sorry, my situation is quite complicated and I can't explain it clearly to you."

Sasuke spread his hands, and Gaara lowered his head and raised his hands, and a large amount of sand quickly entangled everyone.

"But he can definitely tell you the answer."

Gaara paused and looked in the direction Sasuke pointed, but he saw a confused Naruto.

"You said this idiot knew?" Gaara's voice was filled with doubt.

"Ah, it's this idiot. Although his brain is not very good, he is the same as you." Sasuke pressed his abdomen to signal to Gaara. "As you can see he is completely different from you, I think you can find the answer from him."

Seeing Naruto's obvious mental retardation, Gaara hesitated for a while before removing the sand's control, and instructed Kankuro to untie the ropes of Hinata and the others.

"I will believe you for once. Uzumaki Naruto, I will come to you."

Gaara collected all the sand, snapped the lid on the gourd and turned around to leave.Kankuro immediately chased after him.

"And you, Uchiha Sasuke. Let's officially compete again in the next exam!"

Sasuke watched Gaara's retreating figure and took a long breath. His legs softened and he sat on the ground to rest.Temari, who had been watching from the side, immediately came up to support him.

"I'm sorry Sasuke, I couldn't dissuade him." Temari looked very guilty.

"It's okay, don't worry, I will make Gaara change."

"Hey, um. Sasuke, is it true that you just said I could tell him the answer?"

Naruto's heart moved when he heard Sasuke's answer, and he asked nervously.

"Of course it's a lie. Let's get rid of this guy first."

Sasuke's indifferent answer made Naruto's face stiffen and his whole body tremble.

"Hey, are you kidding? That Gaara promised to come find me."

"Ah, yes. It's up to you how to deal with him."

Sasuke looked at Naruto whose teeth began to chatter with a strange smile.

"You are a man who wants to become Hokage. Small things like this should be easy for you, right?"
