Chapter 121 The Edge of Desire
Daimaru was still licking his wounds while moving calmly in Gaara's direction.
Earlier, Kankuro put down Gaara, whose left arm was seriously injured, and used a puppet crow to block Uchiha Sasuke's path, Kankuro's eyes were solemn.
"Has Temari been killed?"
"That female ninja? She's pretty good, but it's a pity she met me..."
"Yeah, that's really..."
The corners of Kankuro's mouth twitched and he complained dissatisfiedly,
"What is that Daimaru guy doing? He disappeared at the critical moment!"
It wasn't that he was worried about escaping, but that he would be killed in an unknown corner. Even the hero's chance to save the beauty is missed, most of which is a last resort.
"You should worry about yourself!"
Uchiha Sasuke looked disdainfully at Kankuro, who had a colorful face.
"If you want to stop me, I'll kill you too!"
"What a shameless statement! After fighting Gaara and defeating Temari, how much chakra is left?"
Kankuro didn't want to give the other party a chance to breathe, so the puppet crow danced with the manipulation of his fingers, tracking the direction of Uchiha Sasuke.
"Puppet Master!"
Kankuro, who was hiding behind the scenes, was nowhere to be seen, using puppets to harass Uchiha Sasuke's actions.
In the Chunin Exam, Kankuro had almost no chance to perform, and he voluntarily gave up in the competition with Aburame Shino.
The fighting method that can be used as a reference is Daimaru.
With the preconceived impression, Uchiha Sasuke had a slight bias in his understanding of the puppet master's fighting style, and slightly overestimated Kankuro's close combat ability.
If he knew that Kankuro, who seemed to have a stronger aura, was far less flexible and changeable in tactics than Daimaru, I wonder if Sasuke Uchiha would be embarrassed by his misjudgment.
However, the weird and ferocious puppet crow, one look at the sharp claws and the hidden weapons shot out of its mouth, all have a blue cold light, and you know that they are all poisoned.
If this thing is contaminated, it will be a big trouble when there are no medical ninjas. Similarly, getting close to Kankuro may not be a good choice.
But using ninjutsu is a waste of chakra.
Even though Gaara was injured, he couldn't be dealt with casually.
But the opportunity is not impossible. Uchiha Sasuke looked at Gaara who was squatting on the tree trunk, holding his wound and kicking to breathe. With such a burden and target, there was no need to worry about the elusive Kankuro.
Uchiha Sasuke made up his mind and gave up the idea of looking for Kankuro's true form. The thunder attribute chakra spread all over his body, stimulating the body cells, and his reaction ability increased rapidly. He suddenly accelerated his speed and charged towards Gaara.
"not good!"
The Puppet Master himself is not good at fighting, so he won't be able to fight if he brings Gaara with him.
Kankuro, who knew something was wrong, controlled the puppet crow and sprayed a large cloud of poisonous smoke in the path of Uchiha Sasuke.
"Do you want to stop me?"
Uchiha Sasuke chuckled, suddenly changed direction, bypassed the spreading poisonous smoke, and attacked Gaara without losing any speed.
"So fast!"
It is a pleasure to watch such a person compete, but it is too difficult to be hostile to such a person. Unfortunately, Kankuro is experiencing this pain.
The crow's arms quickly detached from the backbone and turned into flying blades, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, crossing to block the direction of Uchiha Sasuke's attack.
However, Uchiha Sasuke just twisted his body slightly, lowered his upper body, and passed the interception.
"Asshole, this can't be fought!"
Kankuro stretched out the chakra thread, tied Gaara who seemed to be unresponsive, pulled hard, tore it off the tree trunk, and fell upside down.
Uchiha Sasuke, whose surprise attack failed, changed direction again and dived down from high altitude, vowing to defeat the powerful enemy.
"It's too late!" 』
Kankuro was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. There was a huge gap between his speed and reaction ability.
The Puppet Master is good at killing people on the battlefield, but not so good at protecting his companions.
Just as he was about to step forward to stop Gaara regardless of his own safety, a gust of wind came with a wind blade, blowing Uchiha Sasuke away. After knocking down several branches, he turned over in the air and landed on the ground in the distance.
"You're actually following me again, it's really troublesome!"
I originally thought that by saving some chakra, I could defeat the miscellaneous fish so that I could concentrate on dealing with the powerful enemy Gaara, but unexpectedly they appeared one by one.
"In this case, I won't be merciful anymore."
Temari, who had just appeared, caught Gaara, and then she and Kankuro protected him behind her.
"It's not too late at last!"
"I thought you had been killed, but I didn't expect you were still alive!"
Kankuro stared in the direction of Uchiha Sasuke and said slightly relaxedly.
Having a helper is much better than facing the enemy alone.
"How's Gaara doing? Is it still not okay?"
Temari looked at her youngest brother's injured left shoulder, blood was still flowing out.
"I don't know, the injury is too serious. The power of that thunder escape is very powerful, so don't underestimate it!"
Breaking through the absolute defense before Ichibi Shukaku was possessed by the psychic medium, he also severely injured Gaara's left shoulder. Such power is at least an A-level ninjutsu. It is really amazing that a genin can master such a powerful ninjutsu. .
Uchiha Sasuke has completely exceeded the category of so-called genius. This is not a feat that can be achieved through hard work and talent.
The only fortunate thing is that Uchiha Sasuke doesn't seem to have enough chakra. As long as he persists, there is still hope.
"Did you see that guy Daimaru? He ran away somewhere. He couldn't be dead!"
Kankuro and Temari ran out directly before Konoha Village could react, so they didn't encounter any trouble. It's hard to tell if Daimaru didn't follow them.
"He should have been alive not long ago, but now... I don't know!"
Temari said,
"Now we don't have time to care about the life and death of others, so let's think about how to deal with Uchiha Sasuke!"
"Do we still want to carry out the strategy just now? One person stays to intercept, and the other person takes Gaara and leaves first!"
Kankuro is no longer optimistic that Gaara will be able to return to the battlefield after recovering.
It's a pity that the so-called plan to collapse Konoha is probably going to fail.
"No need! Those who stay will definitely be dead. It's better to stay together. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope."
"Um!"
It is safer for the three siblings to be together than to be separated.
"You two..."
Just when the two siblings were about to fight to the death, Gaara from behind said hoarsely,
"Don't block the road, let me come!"
"But……"
Kankuro wanted to say something else, but Temari pulled him aside.
"No, if you talk to him at this time, you will definitely be killed!"
The pain and desire to kill have completely destroyed Gaara's sanity. At this time, even his brothers and sisters will not be looked down upon.
