Chapter 488 Secret Weapon

Looking at the waves rolled up by sand and dust in front of him, from Bai's perspective, there is no area on the entire stage used for the competition that is not surrounded by this wave of sand.

That is to say, if you don't do any defense, this stage will have no place for you.

Creating such a huge sea of sand all at once, turning an area of tens of meters into a desert, this is no longer something ordinary ninjas can create.

If you don't create a favorable terrain as soon as possible, there will be no suspense in the next battle.

Thinking of this, Bai didn't hesitate, he made a mudra with both hands, and the materialized Chakra flowed on the surface of his body, causing the surrounding air to plummet, and the water vapor in the air instantly condensed into ice, causing a biting chill to roll up on the field.

Boom!

The waves of sand rushed in, comparable to the attack of a torrent of steel, and slammed into the ice wall that suddenly appeared around Bai's body, making terrifying impact sounds.

In the center of the sand sea, Bai was surrounded by a huge ice ball, and a part of the ice ball was hollow inside, allowing people to stand safely in it.

Whether it is front, rear, left, right, or up and down, they are all defended by the ice hockey without dead ends.

Leaving the continuous impact of the sand sea outside, the ice puck remained motionless, only splashing ice chips, but it was soon compensated by Bai's chakra and recovered completely.

Afterwards, Bai let go of his imprinted hands inside the hockey puck, and swung to the sides.

"Scatter!"

Wow!

With the huge ice ball as the center, the water gushes out, like a scene of a flood breaking an embankment, covering the sand layer in one go, and rushing towards Gaara.

The sand and dust rolled into the hole, and the majestic sand wall was erected, and the hands of sand rolled up like waves, grabbed towards the rushing water waves.

The waves of water and waves of sand attack each other, causing the air in the enchantment to vibrate violently, roaring, and finally stop evenly.

Bai gasped slightly, seeing that his attack was blocked again, he was not too disappointed.

Just seeing that Gaara took his own attack without even taking a breath, he couldn't help laughing bitterly.

This guy's chakra is really abundant, and he is still able to handle it with ease. Bai felt a little helpless in his heart.

Through the previous battle, he has already analyzed it.

That is the sand in my love Luo Gourd, which is faster than ordinary sand. In terms of speed, it can be compared with his water instant body. But the strange thing is that Gaara itself has not shown a strong body technique. Generally speaking, it should be impossible to keep up with his instant body technique.

But here lies the problem. The sand inside the gourd seems to be able to directly see his movements, even beyond Gaara's own control... How should I explain it, that is, it seems that he is fighting two people, not one-on-one.

The most important thing is that after the sand in the gourd is wet with water, the speed will not be reduced, or the reduction is very limited.

The large-scale sand created by Gaara later, although the attack and scale are very impressive, even if it is encountered by a Jonin, it is estimated to be a headache, but the speed and flexibility are very poor, and it is extremely afraid of water.

Once the sand in this part touches the water, it will become slower.

Although the power is still considerable, it is meaningless if it cannot catch the enemy's attack.

These two kinds of sand alone are not terrible, but what is terrible is that Gaara can control them at the same time, which is extremely tricky.

And judging from the fact that Gaara has produced such a large amount of sand and is still blushing and not panting, it can be seen that the opponent's chakra is very sufficient. At least procrastinating, fighting a protracted war, Bai felt that it was meaningless.

Because the longer the delay, the slimmer his chances of winning, especially in such a small space, it is even more impossible to fight Gaara for a long time.

Thinking of this, Bai made a decision.

But when he was getting ready, Gaara had a new move.

I saw his hands forming mudras, and a powerful chakra erupted from his body. Under the action of this powerful chakra, the surrounding sand quickly began to gather towards Gaara.

And in a very short period of time, they gathered into a sand ball, wrapped Gaara's body inside, and guarded it tightly.

Sure enough, how could the other party not think of things that he could think of? Bai sighed.

As the son of Fengying, he is certainly not an idiot who cannot see the situation clearly. On the contrary, his brain is quite flexible and smart.

Since it is impossible to win the game in a short time, protracted warfare has become a feasible solution.

Judging from the size of the sand ball and the aura floating on the surface, it is simply unrealistic to break the sand ball and attack Gaara himself.

Unless it is the kind of high-end ninjutsu that can concentrate a little bit and perform explosive thrusts.

And that kind of ninjutsu...Shiro doesn't know it.

My own ice escape does not focus on this aspect of ability.

Therefore, if you want to win the battle, you can only let Gaara come out of it by yourself.

If he stayed inside that tortoise shell all the time, Bai would have no way to deal with it.

Moreover, that sand ball will definitely consume a certain amount of chakra, Gaara cannot last for too long.

But even so, Shiro would not put his hopes on Gaara exhausting his own chakra first.

Because Gaara made the final defense, then Gaara will have no worries. What he will face is a storm-like attack, and the battle will not last long.

As Bai expected, after Gaara wrapped his body with sand dunes, it was accompanied by a strong murderous aura, which made the temperature of the already frozen air drop down again.

The sand layer under the feet began to roll and surge, as if it was the prelude to a volcanic eruption. Just feeling the vibration under the feet made people feel extremely disturbed.

Bai didn't hesitate at all, and fled from the spot with the instant body technique, using high-speed dodge.

The moment his figure disappeared, hands of sand swooped out from the sandy ground under his feet, grabbing the air fiercely.

It's just that it's not over yet. The moment his body moves away, waves of sand rush in from the corners of the competition stage. In the eyes of outsiders, the whole venue seems to have become a living desert creature, constantly using the method of cat and mouse to catch Bai's figure.

Stepping on the sand wall, the body retreats rapidly, and when it lands, it also teleports again. Once the speed slows down, or the body stops, it may be caught by the hand of sand from nowhere, thus defeating the battle.

Just looking at the surrounding sand walls that are constantly closing together, the space for Bai to move is getting smaller and smaller.

If this goes on, sooner or later, Gaara will be caught by Gaara's condensed hands of sand.

And the people in the audience are also exclaiming constantly. For them, this level of ninja fighting is a feast for their eyes and worthy of the ticket price.

"Is that really the case?"

Bai wondered why Gaara, who was clearly in the sand ball, was able to determine his position over and over again, but when he saw an eyeball floating in midair, he immediately understood.

Protect yourself with sand balls, and then use ninjutsu to create an external eyeball organ connected to your optic nerve. Even in a closed environment, you can capture the traces of the enemy very well.

Snapped!

Seeing his calf being entangled by a hand of sand.

Bai pupils shrank.

"Oops!"

The speed of this sand hand is very fast, and it is not made of ordinary sand. Bai realized that this palm hidden in the ordinary sand hand is probably made of Gaara's special sand.

It seems that this sand can not only protect Gaara,

At the same time, Gaara can also be controlled by Gaara himself, but usually Gaara allows it to act, making people feel that this special sand does not have the ability to attack the enemy.

Bai was dragged down with a huge force, and the surrounding sand layer was quickly replenished. Like a torrent, it was squeezed upwards, swallowing Bai's body quickly, and buried in the bottomless dark sand layer.

Hum!

The low and terrifying vibration sound, after a moment of delay, the ground under his feet kept shaking and trembling, which lasted for several seconds before gradually subsiding.

The sandy land was desolate and silent, like a field of death, only the gentle wind and sand blowing.

The sand ball is like an egg with a broken shell, slowly revealing Gaara inside.

Looking at the calm scene in front of him, Gaara was also panting lowly. Obviously, the previous moves had taken a toll on him.

Just as he was about to step out of the sand ball, he suddenly sensed something, and a strange breath descended, making him feel a little strange.

He jerked his head up.

An ice mirror was hung in the sky at some point, and its height exceeded the external sand eye, so the sand eye did not notice the ice mirror hanging in the air.

The figure of Shiro was engraved on the ice mirror. The moment Gaara looked up, the figure of Shiro disappeared from the mirror with a whoosh, and appeared in front of Gaara the next moment.

"it's over!"

Special Sand is not beside Gaara at the moment, and with his speed, he has enough time to defeat Gaara.

"Thousand Killing Shuixiang!"

Using the water vapor in the air to condense into a large amount of Mizusenmoto, under Shiro's control, he frantically shot towards Gaara's body.

Chi Chi Chi Chi sounded non-stop, and countless Mizusenbon pierced into Gaara's body smoothly.

Bai's eyes wavered slightly at this moment, looking at the sand in front of him like blood flying, he realized that Gaara in front of him was just a clone made of sand, because it was more advanced than the general clone technique, so if he didn't have special perception ability, it would be difficult to distinguish the main body from the clone.

"Sand bound coffin!"

Gaara's cold voice came from behind.

The originally collapsed sand ball, the sand quickly closed up, entangled Bai's body at a dexterous speed, and there were several sand hands formed on it, which increased the binding ability of the sand.

"I see, did you have the same idea as me?"

Bai's face was covered with cold sweat.

Gaara didn't say a word, just raised his hand, ready to clenched it, and delivered the final blow to the dialogue.

Right at this moment, there was a clicking sound, making Gaara's hand gesture stop.

With Bai as the core, there was a constant sound of freezing in the air, not only the surrounding air, but also the sand covering Bai's body was also frozen.

Afterwards, it turned into pure white ice powder and drifted away with the wind.

Bai fell to the ground, and his lowered right hand was stained with blood, but he maintained the posture of forming a seal with one hand.

It is conceivable that in the sand layer just now, he also spent a lot of effort to successfully form the seal.

Gaara's heart is awe-inspiring, this is an extremely terrifying opponent.

Ice escape blood following limit, the assassination type water escape technique combined with ice escape, and the ability to form seals with one hand, are completely different from the ninjas he fought in the Chunin exams before.

The special sand that comes out of the gourd spreads out like a cloud and protects her side closely. Only in this way can Gaara have a sense of security.

The same trick will not succeed twice, Gaara is not too sure about the next battle.

The white in front of his eyes made him feel great pressure.

While Gaara was thinking about how to act against Shiro next, Bai raised his injured right hand unhurriedly.

Gaara also raised her hand in a vigilant gesture.

"I surrender."

Bai calmly said this sentence from his mouth, Gaara, who raised his hand, paused, his eyes widened slightly, looking at Shiro who surrendered in disbelief.

Abstain and admit defeat?

Not only Gaara, but even the audience around, as well as the rest of the examinees, were extremely surprised.

In their view, although Bai was injured, it was not serious, and he still had the strength to fight.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

Gaara asked with a cold face.

Bai put down his palm and said with a smile: "I don't mean that, my chakra is almost used up. If I continue to fight, I don't think there is any hope of winning, so I just abstain."

Gaara's tricks will not succeed twice, and the same is true for my own ice escape.

And once Gaara hides in that tortoise shell again, it will be invincible.

And the important point is that his chakra is indeed not enough.

He has used too many times of ice escape, water escape, and water escape teleportation, and the remaining chakra is not enough for him to defeat Gaara, a formidable enemy.

Gaara frowned, seeming to doubt the authenticity of Bai's words.

Because he is not a sentient ninja, he doesn't know about Shiro's chakra.

Onijima Shinobu walked into the field and announced: "The winner of this game is Gaara."

Hearing Onijima Shinobi's announcement, Gaara knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and gave a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

The desire to fight that had just been aroused disappeared like this, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

But he also knew that he couldn't have an attack at this time, so he silently collected the sand beside him, plugged the gourd with a stopper, and walked slowly back to the observation deck.

Bai also knew that Gaara was in a bad mood, but he didn't say anything, and went back from the other direction.

"It was really a wonderful match, Kazekage-sama. Unexpectedly, the outstanding ninja of our village is no match for your son at all."

Terumi Mei, who attended as Mizukage's representative, turned her head slightly, and smiled at Luo Sha who was beside her.

"It's just a fluke. The Baixiaren in your village, whether it is ice escape or water escape, is easy to catch. In the future, it must be a rare jounin."

Although Luo Sha was delighted with Gaara's victory, he responded calmly on the surface.

He could see that it was not easy for Gaara to win, which also showed that the quality of the ninja in this final was very high, and it was not at the same level as the previous two games.

After the previous battle, the stage used for the competition has been shattered and turned into a whole desert.

Junin in the kingdom of ghosts in the triangle barrier, at this time and the ninja who maintained the barrier sat down and formed seals with both hands.

It was originally a desert competition stage, but a whirlpool of mudslides began to occupy the sand space on the stage.

Within a short while, all the sand in the competition field disappeared, and with the cooperation of the four Tudun jounin, it returned to its full appearance before the competition.

"Now invite the two players from the second match to come down and fight for the second round."

Onijima Shinobu looked up at the observation deck, glanced at Naruto and Shino, and asked them to come down to compete.

"It's my turn!"

Naruto touched his fist lightly on his chest, and seeing him, he couldn't wait.

Shino turned his head to look at Naruto, and pushed the sunglasses on his face.

"Then, I'll go down first."

After greeting Kiba, Hinata, and Kami Shinobi, Shino walked down the stairs on one side.

Naruto soon followed and stood on the ground, looking straight at Shino who was standing opposite with his hands in his coat pockets.

"I will win this battle!"

Before fighting, Naruto declared first.

"Sorry, although I admit Naruto's strength, you are not my opponent now."

Shino said calmly.

He didn't know what kind of practice Naruto had done in the past few days, so he dared to say such words with confidence, but in his opinion, Naruto's strength will not be much stronger than during the qualifiers in just a few days.

And the sneak attack tactic of digging tunnels is useless to him.

The parasites he controls can not only attack the enemy, but also have strong reconnaissance capabilities.

Naruto's crappy sneak attack tactics can only deal with opponents who have no reconnaissance ability.

"Are you both ready?"

Onijima Shinobu asked.

Naruto and Shino looked at each other without speaking.

Shinobu Onijima saw this, nodded slightly, and waved: "Then, the game begins!"

After the sound fell to the ground, Shino raised his hands directly, and a large number of parasites flew out from the cuffs, turning into a black cloud and covering Naruto's body.

"Wind EscapeBig Breakthrough!"

Naruto also made mudras with his hands, opened his mouth, and blew a violent storm forward.

The worm cloud flew away, but it was not very lethal to the parasitic worms, and soon the worm cloud gathered again and pressed up.

It would be great if I knew Sasuke's Fire-Dun. Seeing that his Feng Dun couldn't suppress Shino's insect cloud, Naruto immediately thought of Sasuke's Fire Dun Jutsu, which was extremely lethal to this group of insects.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to escape from fire, and he only knows how to escape from wind. If he wants to use escape to suppress parasites, it is impossible to win.

But this is also expected by Naruto, he never thought that he could defeat Shino so easily.

Fortunately, he has prepared a secret weapon for this.

Thinking of this, Naruto showed a sinister smile.

When the cloud of insects gathered and culled them again, Naruto took advantage of this gap, quickly took out a projectile from the ninja bag, and threw it viciously towards the ground.

boom!

The projectile exploded, and the lavender smoke spread rapidly, swallowing Shino's parasites.

Buzz buzz!

The parasite vibrates its wings greatly, making this vibrating sound.

For some unknown reason, Zhi Nao suddenly felt that the parasites became extremely agitated, and began to lose his control, flying randomly in the lavender smoke like headless flies.

There is a problem with smoke! Seeing the smoke spreading on the field, Shino suddenly felt bad.

He didn't expect Naruto to have such a means of restraining his parasites.

"Awaken yourself, Shino, this is the secret weapon I specially prepared for you! The technique of shadow clone!"

The sound of bang bang bang kept ringing, and more than a dozen Naruto rushed out of the mist, and all rushed towards Shino.

The parasites that started to get out of control, Zhi Nao was very reluctant to control, and the number of shadow clones that could be blocked was really limited.

Among them, several shadow clones directly broke through the blockade of Chongyun, rushed in front of Zhi Nao, and waved their fists to attack his body.

Zinai had to use physical skills to deal with it. Although he had been in contact with physical skills for a while, it was only for strengthening his body. He has family secrets and does not need to specialize in physical skills.

So, facing the joint attack of several shadow clones, Zhi Nao quickly felt a lot of pressure.

Unconsciously, one of the shadow clones punched him in the side of the face, knocking him into the air, rolling for several meters before barely stopping.

When he stood up, the corners of Shino's mouth began to bleed, but the shadow clone created by Naruto did not stop the attack, and attacked him again, trying to take him down in one go.

"ah!"

The several shadow clones surrounding Shino suddenly screamed.

I saw a bunch of parasites crawling out of Shino's sleeve again, and began to spin at a high speed, forming an iron-like protection around the body, and climbing up the parasites of the upper shadow clone, and began to bite crazily.

The shadow clones exploded one by one, turning into white smoke and disappearing.

Seeing that the lavender smoke was slowly disappearing, Shino felt that the parasite, which was already out of control, began to recover, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this kind of smoke is a bit tricky, it doesn't seem to last for too long, and it has no lethality to the parasites at all.

He was about to summon the parasites, and when he launched an attack on Naruto, Naruto took out the same bullets from the ninja bag again, and there were two of them.

Shi Nai's heart suddenly became overcast and became unhappy.

He kind of misses the stupid Naruto in the ninja school.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Two projectiles exploded, and the lavender smoke swept in again. Naruto used the shadow clone technique again, summoning as many shadow clones as before. Looking at Shino, Naruto's shadow avatars are like a group of hounds seeing fresh flesh and blood, flying up without any image.

It's over! Shino had only one thought in his mind.

The parasite is his only means of fighting the enemy. Although in a one-on-one situation, his physical skills can be divided into five or five with Naruto, but what he has to face now is not a Naruto, but a group of shadow clones.

Naruto, who was attacking like a mad dog, immediately surrounded Shino and wrapped it into a huge human flesh ball, from which there were continuous sounds of punching and kicking.

Although he couldn't directly see the scene inside, but just from the sound, he knew how Shino, surrounded by many shadow clones, was being treated.

Even everyone on the observation deck felt a burst of pain in their flesh.

Kakashi covered his face and looked at Naruto who was punching and kicking the enemy like a mad dog. He would never admit that this kind of taijutsu, which was worse than the students of the ninja school, was taught by him, a jnin.

However, thinking of the current scene, it seems that Naruto does not need to specialize in the so-called physical skills, and he can just use the crowd tactics to push all the way.

"The insecticide for parasites, you made it for Naruto, Sakura? Naruto doesn't have this ability."

After being speechless, Kakashi asked Sakura who was beside him.

Sakura did not deny it, nodded and said: "After the qualifying match that day, Naruto picked up a few parasites on the field and came back, and then asked me to make medicine against the parasites. However, due to time constraints, the smoke bomb given to Naruto can only make the parasites out of control for about six to eight seconds."

"No, losing control for six to eight seconds is already fatal enough."

Especially for a ninja like Shino who relies too much on family secret arts, once targeted, unless there are special circumstances, he can only rely on physical arts to deal with the enemy.

The opponent's physical skill level is comparable to Naruto's in one-on-one situations, but Naruto has the advantage of crowd tactics.

Insufficient physical skills can be made up with shadow clones.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle has been decided when the parasites are out of control.

(PS: After looking through the formula book, I found out that Gaara's essence in the first part was 8, that is to say, Gaara's chakra level was about 1.6 calories. The second part of Shippuden was directly changed to 10. Sure enough, the chakra of jinjuriki is very strong. After adulthood, the essence of renjuriki is estimated to start at an average of 10.)
