After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chapter 36 Flaw

"boom--"

A pure white wall of wind rose from the ground, meeting Gaara's sand shuriken head-on.

Under the impact of the strong wind, Gaara's sand shuriken was instantly reduced to fine sand, just like a sandcastle being battered by waves on a beach.

Even now, the highly concentrated wind wall maintains a firm forward thrust, like a giant wave crashing on the sea.

Seeing this, Gaara frowned, leaped down from the treetop, and tried to get away from the wind wall.

But the next second, Qianyu, wielding a long sword, passed through the wind wall.

The wind wall that pushed her forward became her acceleration gate, allowing her to catch up with Gaara in the air in an instant.

Before Gaara could react, Chiba's sharp blade slashed straight toward his side.

In the blink of an eye, everyone saw Qianyu's long sword arrive at Gaara's waist!

"Is this the end of the line?"

Sakura, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

“No!” Sasuke shook his head. Unlike Sakura, who only knew how to look at the surface, he had a broader perspective.

Therefore, Sasuke could clearly see the calm and composed expression on Gaara's face at that moment.

He continued his freefall, seemingly certain that Qianyu's slash could not harm him.

Sure enough, the sand that had just been scattered by the wind wall gathered back together. As Chiyu's longsword approached within a certain distance, the sand shield, exactly the same as Temari's before, reappeared and blocked Chiyu's fierce slash.

However, Chiba had anticipated Gaara's sand.

If one cut doesn't work, then two, three cuts!

Relying on her agility, which far surpassed Gaara's, Chiba instantly transformed her long sword into thousands of blades, forming a dense net of swords that enveloped Gaara.

However, Gaara's expression remained unchanged throughout the entire attack by Chiba.

Because a mother's blessing will protect him from all malice!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, no matter how Qianyu's longsword trajectory changed or how ingenious her hidden moves were, there would always be a clump of sand in front of her blade, blocking its path.

For a moment, only dull thuds could be heard, as large amounts of sand rose and were knocked back, while Qianyu's sword flashed continuously, and neither side could gain the upper hand.

Seeing this, Qianyu decisively increased her speed!

Just like when Lee fought Gaara, she also spun around Gaara at high speed.

At the same time, the nimble longsword, like a snake spitting its tongue or a gazelle leaping its horns, would strike Gaara every now and then at high speed.

This time, facing Chiba's high-speed tactics, Gaara finally frowned, and Sand's automatic defense began to pale in comparison.

Seeing this, Temari stared in shock, her eyes wide: "Gaara is being suppressed?"

Yes, although she hasn't used her hands to speed up the sand yet, it's surprising that Gaara, who used to be invincible, was suddenly suppressed one day.

However, while both were spectators, Temari observed the performances of both Chiba and Gaara, Sasuke only watched Gaara from beginning to end.

Therefore, he noticed that, at some point, the ground beneath the feet of the two combatants had been covered with a thin layer of yellow sand, and this layer of sand was getting thicker and thicker with each strike of Qianyu.

"The sand has gotten thicker, what does that mean?"

Sasuke, deep in thought, stared intently at Gaara, his Sharingan, which he had somehow activated, wide open.

And so, with his keen eyesight, he saw that Gaara's hands, which he had never used before, suddenly pointed at the ground beneath their feet.

"Oh no! Chiba-chan..." Sasuke's expression changed as he realized what Gaara was about to do, and he was about to warn him.

But Gaara's manipulation of sand is faster than his own form!

With a flick of his wrists, the sand that had been lying quietly on the ground began to float up, forming a thick layer of sand mist at ankle height.

Chiyu's feet sank into the layer of sand and mist, as if she were stuck in a swamp. After her initial momentum was neutralized, she could not move an inch!

"So there's another trick up your sleeve?"

Qianyu looked surprised.

She truly hadn't expected Gaara to have this trick up his sleeve.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Gaara's speed is a major weakness, so how could he not want to limit the enemy's methods?

The original story didn't use that space because both the venue for the Chunin Exams preliminary rounds and the venue for the third round of the Chunin Exams were too large.

Unlike here, in order not to cause too much of a commotion, both Chiba and Gaara intentionally kept their fighting range confined to the center of the alley, which was barely big enough for them to maneuver.

Given the confined space, it's not surprising that Gaara chose to use this move.

At this moment, seeing that Chiba, who was jumping around like a monkey, had finally been caught, Gaara, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke in a gloomy tone: "Got you, you bug!"

"Someone as beautiful as you must have blood that smells of flowers, right?"

As he spoke, Gaara waved his hand again, and a large amount of sand, under his control, gathered at Chiba's feet like swallows returning to their nests.

In an instant, Qianyu's feet, ankles, and even her jade-like calves were covered with a thick layer of yellow sand.

Beneath the yellow sand, a terrifying power was slowly gathering!

"Chiba!" Seeing this scene, Naruto and Sasuke exclaimed in concern, their bodies trembling as if they wanted to rush forward to help.

Seeing this, Temari immediately opened her two-star fan, ready to intercept at any moment.

What's puzzling is that even though her feet were being grabbed and almost crushed, Qianyu was still laughing, seemingly very happy.

Gaara felt an intense, irritating pain as he looked at Chiyu's beautiful smile. The natural aversion and rage that came from seeing the opposite side of the yin side surged into his heart.

Gaara asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

"What am I laughing at?" Chiyu's smile faltered, seemingly surprised by Gaara's question.

But she quickly offered an explanation: "I was laughing at you! You finally gave me a clue!"

"What?" Gaara was momentarily stunned by Chiyu's words.

Since it was clearly Qianyu who was captured by him, how could it be that he was the one who gave the opening?

But he soon found out.

Suddenly, Qianyu opened her crystal-clear lips, revealing her pearly white teeth. Then, she took the hilt of the sword in her hand and used it as a gag, biting down on it.

Then, ignoring the sand that had reached her thighs and was about to spread even deeper, she squatted down and assumed the starting posture of a standard sprinter.

Although he had never seen this pose before, a strong sense of unease arose in Gaara's heart the moment he saw it.

So, ignoring that the sand hadn't completely gripped Chiyu yet, he quickly reached out, aimed at Chiyu's feet, and then clenched his fists: "Sand Binding..."

Gaara couldn't utter the last word, "coffin."

Because of the incredibly powerful wind, it exploded from under Qianyu's feet before he could complete his spell!

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

and also……

"Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

The master-level Instantaneous Movement Technique was activated simultaneously.

The understanding provided by master-level Body Flicker Technique is to transform ordinary Body Flicker Technique into the Escape Technique Body Flicker.

With Qianyu's accumulated experience, the escape technique she acquired, Instantaneous Movement, was naturally Wind Instantaneous Movement.

At this moment, the Gale Palm combined with the Instant Body Technique, which had the rudiments of the Wind Instant Body Technique, instantly achieved a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Propelled by the strong wind bursting from her feet, Chiyu launched herself forward and arrived in front of Gaara in an instant with lightning speed!

At this moment, looking at Chiyu's flawless and beautiful face, Gaara finally understood what Chiyu meant by the flaw.

The cramped space not only limited Chiyu, but also limited him.

Because if the area is large, he will consume chakra to create sand, so that no matter what the situation, he will always have sand on him to use.

However, due to the limited space, Gaara's own sand was already sufficient, and he had left all the sand in front of him while he was focused on capturing Chiba!

The flaw that Qianyu pointed out was the flaw of not having enough sand!

But so what?

The sand gourd he always carried on his back was created specifically for this situation!

"Splash splash splash!"

With a thought, Gaara's sand gourd on his back instantly shattered into sand, forming a formidable barrier between him and Chiyu.

Feeling the sense of security that the sand brought, Gaara smiled proudly:

"You couldn't break through my defenses just now, so what makes you think you can now?"

"You're the one who gave yourself away!"

"Woman, when my sand returns, your death will be imminent!"

Just as Gaara said, behind Chiba, a large amount of yellow sand, no longer caring about the damage to the environment, was turning into waves of violent sand, rushing madly toward them.

For a time, they couldn't break through at the front, but their momentum at the back was astonishing.

Qianyu's sudden attack actually put him in a situation where he was attacked from both sides!
