Chapter 189: [BONUS CHAPTER] Sasuke Vs Gaara
If Ryosuke had Kage-level strength, Hiashi would be able to persuade the elders of the clan to agree to Ryosuke marrying Hinata.
After all, even if Hinata is married, she will still be Hiashi's daughter.
She will also be the elder sister of the head of the Hyuga clan in the future.
With this status, when the Hyuga clan is in trouble, they won't be embarrassed to ask Ryosuke for help in the future.
Therefore, Hiashi could definitely use the reason of having a Kage-level ally to convince the elders of the clan.
Most people think that the Hyuga clan seems to have a high status in Konoha.
But actually, the status of the Hyuga clan is quite embarrassing.
It has always claimed to be the No. 1 clan in Konoha.
But in fact, there isn't even one Kage-level ninja in the Hyuga clan.
The No. 1 clan in Konoha really does not live up to its name.
Therefore, there was a high probability that those clan elders could be persuaded.
In this regard, Hiashi was confident.
But Ryosuke was not at the Kage-level yet.
He had the potential to reach the Kage-level.
But when exactly would he reach the Kage-level?
A few years later?
Or ten years later?
What Hiashi needed was strength to immediately convince those clan elders.
Not future potential!
"I can only delay as long as possible."
"I hope this kid can reach Kage-level as soon as possible."
Hiashi looked at Ryosuke and noticed that he was surrounded by three girls. His face immediately became gloomy again.
"He spends time and energy on women all day long. In this way, when will he reach the Kage-level?"
"The next match is Sasuke vs. Gaara."
Ryosuke turned his head to look at Gaara, who was not far away.
It looked like Gaara couldn't wait any longer. His eyes were full of murderous intent.
"The little panda can't wait any longer." Ryosuke said with a smile.
Next second
Gaara suddenly looked over, and then stared at Ryosuke with murderous eyes.
"Your opponent is not me."
Ryosuke pointed to Sasuke over there.
The latter also looked at Gaara with fighting spirit.
"Hurry up. After I beat you, I will have to fight Ryosuke."
Sasuke looked confident.
It didn't seem like he considered Gaara a threat at all.
Seeing this, Gaara looked at Sasuke with a fierce look on his face.
"Next match, Uchiha Sasuke VS Gaara."
"Two contestants, please come on stage!"
On the field below, the chief examiner Shiranui Genma shouted loudly.
Swish!
Some sand flew up.
Gaara appeared on the field.
"Come down!"
He yelled at Sasuke coldly.
"You are in such a hurry to lose to me?" Sasuke sneered.
He jumped off the stands, landing firmly on the field.
"Are you both ready?"
Shiranui Genma looked at the two of them and asked.
"I'll kill you, and then I'll kill that Ryosuke!" Gaara said indifferently.
Ryosuke: "???"
"Hmph! You are very arrogant. but the only one who can defeat Ryosuke is me, Uchiha Sasuke!"
'The two of you have hit it off. Why did you both drag me in your conversation?'
Ryosuke looked puzzled.
One was saying that he would kill him, the other was saying that he would defeat him.
Why were they both targeting him?
Ryosuke looked at the two guys speechlessly.
"Match start."
Shiranui Genma directly announced loudly, and then withdrew to the sidelines.
These two little brats both looked hard to deal with at first glance.
Shiranui Genma didn't want to stay on the court and suffer for no reason.
In the previous match between Naruto and Rock Lee, the aftermath was greater than a fight between special Jōnins.
He wondered how these brats had trained.
Why were all of them so strong?
Sasuke used his Sharingan the moment the examiner announced the start of the match.
One tomoe on the left and the two tomoe on the right eye were seen, making him look even more sinister.
On the other hand, Gaara instantly turned some sand into sand shurikens, and shot them towards Sasuke.
"This guy doesn't need hand seals to use ninjutsu?"
Sasuke relied on his Sharingan's excellent dynamic vision ability to avoid the sand shurikens, while approaching Gaara.
When the distance was right, Sasuke quickly formed hand seals, releasing a huge Great Fireball towards Gaara
"Fire release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Bang!
With a loud bang, the fireball hit some sand, causing a violent explosion.
Gaara who was behind the sand was completely unharmed.
The sand dispersed, but Gaara found that Sasuke was gone.
Where?
He looked around.
Next second
"Lightning release: False Darkness!"
Sasuke appeared above Gaara's head and used a lightning release at Gaara below.
"Sand Barrier!"
Gaara raised his arm, and instantly a large piece of sand blocked the top of his head.
But the next moment
The lightning spear thrown by Sasuke penetrated the layer of sand, and after piercing the sand, it attacked Gaara below without diminishing in momentum.
Gaara watched coldly, not intending to defend at all.
"Bingo!"
A look of joy flashed in Sasuke's eyes.
But in the next second—
"What?!"
He was surprised to see some sand suddenly fly out from the gourd behind Gaara to block his lightning spear.
"How? He obviously didn't use any ninjutsu. What happened to the sand?"
Sasuke couldn't understand what had happened, but his attack was indeed blocked by Gaara's sand.
The attack failed, and Sasuke then dodged the sand that Gaara waved, while moving at high speed to avoid the attack, while looking for an opportunity to strike again.
He still had another move, which was the Chidori he had learned from Kakashi.
This move was an A-rank Lightning release ninjutsu.
It is more powerful than the previous Lightning release: False Darkness, and it has a stronger penetrating power.
He believed that even the sand in the gourd behind Gaara's back couldn't block Chidori.
As the fight went on, Sasuke discovered that the sand in the gourd behind Gaara seemed to automatically block some attacks for him.
It seemed to have nothing to do with Gaara's own subjective consciousness.
But if the attacks are fast enough, the sand that actively defends Gaara will not be able to keep up.
"Chidori is extremely fast. Without the Sharingan, even the caster himself cannot accurately hit the target."
"That's right! I can just use Chidori. Gaara's sand will definitely not be able to keep up with my speed."
Sasuke felt that he had found Gaara's weakness.
His self-defensive sand seemed to be invincible, but in fact it's weakness was very obvious.
The key was whether he had enough speed to catch this weakness.
Sasuke didn't have any Taijutsu techniues that allowed him to move too fast to be seen by the naked eye like the Eight Inner Gates.
But the moment he uses Chidori, his moving speed in a straight line will not be much slower than Rock Lee who had opened the Fifth Gate.
With this speed, as long as he finds an opportunity, he can one shot Gaara and ummediately end this battle.
Now, the key was to find this opportunity.
So next, Sasuke began to harass Gaara, testing the sand in the gourd behind him again and again, looking for it's mechanics.
"What's going on? Why does this descendant of the Uchiha clan keep circling around this Sunagakure ninja?"
"Hurry up! We're not here to watch you play!"
"Why are they not fighting? What's going on?"
"Didn't you say that the descendant of the Uchiha clan is very strong? Why do I feel that he is not as powerful as the two ninjas in the first match?"
"What Uchiha, I don't think he lives up to his surname."
"Sure enough, the Uchiha are all dead. There is only one Uchiha left, so I shouldn't have expected anything."
In the auditorium, the audiences who had been excited to see the descendant of the Uchiha clan at the beginning only saw Uchiha Sasuke running around the audience like a monkey at this time.
They complained in disappointment.
At first, only a few sporadic people shouted out their dissatisfaction.
But later, more and more people began to complain, feeling dissatisfied.
Sasuke himself heard the complaints of these audiences, and he became very anxious.
He wanted to prove that even if he was the only Uchiha left, the Uchiha clan was still glorious.
But if he continues to dawdle like this, these people will probably forget about the Uchiha's glory.
"Damn it! How dare these people?!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth, and the single tomoe in his left eye twirled crazily.
Originally, there was only a single tome in his left eye, but at this time the second tomoe gradually solidified.
After a few seconds
The second tomoe in his left eye was completely solidified.
At that moment, Sasuke felt that the Chakra in his body had increased sharply, and at the same time, his originally unbalanced eyesight suddenly became balanced.
"It's now!"
Suddenly, Sasuke caught a flaw in Gaara.
Those fully automatic defensive sands would pause for a moment after defending against the last attack.
This pause was extremely short. If it was the Sasuke who didn't have two tomoes in both eyes, maybe he might have missed it.
But at this time, Sasuke, who had successfully awakened two tomoe in both eyes discovered this flaw.
"Lightning release: Chidori!"
Sasuke slammed his right foot on the wall of the arena, and with a click, the concrete wall cracked the moment he stepped on it.
Next second—
A surge of Lightning Chakra gathered in his hand, making a piercing sound like a thousand birds chirping.
In an instant, Gaara felt as if his skin that was under the protection of the sand armor was being pricked by needles.
Almost subconsciously, Gaara immediately surrounded himself with a large amount of sand to form a spherical sand ball, firmly protecting him in it.
Swish!
With a lightning flash, Sasuke who was hundreds of meters away appeared in front of Gaara in the next second.
The chidori on his right hand pierced Gaara's absolute defense.
The chidori with strong penetrating power even hurt Gaara inside the sand shield.
At this moment!
Gaara let out an angry roar, like the roar of a wounded beast, and a terrifying aura permeated from him.
Swish!
Sasuke retreated some distance in an instant.
He looked at Gaara suspiciously.
"What the hell is going on with this guy?"
Just now Sasuke seemed to feel that some terrifying monster was about to wake up from Gaara's body.
The terrifying palpitation made him instinctively choose to back away.
In the stands
Noticing that a few ninjas dressed as Anbu over there suddenly start to form hand seals, the corners of Ryosuke's mouth raised into a slight arc.
"It's finally starting." He muttered to himself.
"What's starting?"
Ino, leaning on his arms, asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I'll take you back later." Ryosuke said.
???
Just when Ino and the others wondered why Ryosuke wanted to send them back first, feathers suddenly floated in the sky.
Of course, these feathers were not real feathers, but an illusion formed by genjutsu.
"Who used genjutsu?"
"What happened?"
"Not good! It's an enemy attack!!"
The faces of the Konoha ninjas in the venue changed in shock.
Some Jōnins quickly responded, but they were still a step too late.
On the high stands.
The Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage, who were chatting and laughing just now weren't in harmony anymore.
The latter was holding the former hostage.
"Rasa, do you know what you are doing?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen watched this scene with a dark face.
He had figured out that it was a Sunagakure ninja who had launched an attack on Konoha.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't figure out why Sunagakure would do this?
And... where did they get the confidence to do this?
