Chapter 151 Instantly Defeated Kanjuro, Stunned Gaara
"A Konoha ninja? He's a handsome Chunin, but what a pity!"
“Foolish guy, he probably has no idea who he’s messed with.”
Seeing their heads stolen, Temari and Kankuro were stunned for a moment before simultaneously revealing a mocking expression. They showed no anger whatsoever, instead staring at Ishikawa as if he were a dead man.
Almost the instant they opened their mouths, Gaara suddenly revealed a sinister smile, his eyes bloodthirsty. "Interesting prey has appeared! Mother, I'll soon let you taste fresh blood..."
"Prey? It seems my friends from Sunagakure are quite confident! But sometimes, the relationship between prey and predator can easily be reversed." Ishikawa smiled calmly, not showing any weakness, and directly unleashed his monstrous strength to throw the head hundreds of meters away.
Over there, Karin's shadow clones are waiting to meet you!
Gaara in his dark form is terrifying; even when he unleashes the power of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, he is no match for it.
However, he is not an ordinary Chunin, and this is not a place where Konoha needs him to defeat the opponent!
He might not win by risking his life, but he wanted to quickly suppress Gaara and retreat in time; the other side simply couldn't stop him. That's the confidence that allowed him to venture out alone to steal a kill. Otherwise, would he be foolish enough to go head-to-head with a Jinchuriki for a mere B-rank mission? He would have run as far away as possible long ago…
Gaara is the only one who knows he's a Jinchūriki of the Sand Village; Karin and the others are completely unaware. Isn't the purpose of their rigorous training to face danger with confidence? And now they're letting him run away without a fight? Why should he...?
He, Mitarai Ishikawa, couldn't afford to lose face like that!
“Only the victor has the right to be the predator. Let me see how you, the prey, prove yourself.” Gaara said coldly, arms crossed, as the sand beneath his feet transformed into arms and he grabbed Gaara.
Although his sand was fast, Ishikawa, who had activated his Lightning Release Armor, was even faster. Almost the instant the sand moved, Ishikawa's feet moved, transforming into a blue-white afterimage to evade the sand hand and appear in front of Gaara.
【What?!】
Seeing this high-speed movement style of fighting for the first time, even Gaara's pupils contracted and his expression changed slightly.
But after only a moment of shock, Gaara's expression transformed into excitement and exhilaration. Kill him! Killing him would surely prove his worth!
Almost at the same moment Gaara's killing intent was ignited, a sand shield appeared in front of him in a flash, blocking Ishikawa.
Despite the sand defense that ordinary ninjas would easily sink into, Ishikawa smirked and continued to deliver a powerful punch without flinching.
"boom……"
Under Temari Kankuro's jaw-dropping gaze, a fist imbued with monstrous power shattered their prized Sand Shield, and a heavy punch landed squarely on Gaara's chest.
"How is this possible?!" Gaara cried out in disbelief, his chest throbbing with pain and his sand armor cracking.
No matter how unwilling he was to accept this fact, the violent force still sent him flying more than twenty meters away...
If it weren't for the sand behind him catching him in time and offsetting the impact, he would have been thrown at least 100 meters and suffered secondary injuries.
"Damn bastard, a puppet show..."
Seeing this, Kankuro, who was standing nearby, did not dare to be negligent. He immediately threw out the puppet behind him and controlled the crow to launch a series of hidden weapons at Ishikawa.
"Boy, you probably don't know who the puppeteer's nightmare is!" Seeing the poisoned hidden weapon flashing with dark light rushing towards him, Ishikawa smiled coldly and drew his white fang longsword again.
Kankuro saw a blue and white blade flash through the air like lightning, severing the chakra threads that controlled his puppet, and the crow was cut in half and fell to the ground.
Before he could even be shocked, the blue and white fangs, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, rushed straight at him and swung down!
This made Kankuro's face turn pale and he was drenched in sweat. A chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, leaving him stunned and his scalp tingling.
"Ninja Art: Sandstorm..."
Just as the sharp blade struck Kankuro's chest, a delicate shout suddenly erupted from the side.
Suddenly, a violent hurricane carrying sand and dust roared out and pressed down on Ishikawa from the side.
[It wasn't a wind-style attack, but rather sand squinting at my eyes to obstruct me. As expected of the clear-headed Temari!] Feeling the dense sand pricking his face like needles, Ishikawa secretly praised him and kicked Kankuro in the chest, using the force to pull himself back.
"Don't even think about escaping! As the prey, I haven't even had a chance to enjoy the pleasures of being the predator, how can I let you get away!" Almost the instant Ishikawa used the momentum to retreat, Gaara snapped back to his senses and roared furiously.
With a wave of his hands, the sand around him instantly transformed into hundreds of sand shuriken. As soon as the dense shuriken appeared, they burst forth like a storm...
Its range is so large that it covers a 180° fan-shaped attack area with no blind spots, directly using saturation attacks to prevent Ishikawa's high-speed movement.
Seeing this wide-range attack, Ishikawa showed no fear. His White Fang sword instantly returned to its sheath, and he plummeted to the ground while simultaneously forming hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall..."
As the hand seal was completed and the hands slammed into the ground, an earthen wall carved with three exquisite dog heads rose up and blocked the way.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
Almost at the same time the earthen wall was formed, hundreds of sand shuriken rushed over and pierced into the earthen wall with crisp sounds!
"Interesting. Only prey like this is worth killing to prove its worth. Then let me see how much more you can excite me, Konoha ninja!" Seeing this, Gaara was not angry but delighted, and roared madly while putting his hands together.
"The Burial in Flowing Sands..."
The ground rumbled and churned, and with Gaara in front of him as a reference point, the hard earth instantly turned into a sandstorm that swallowed up the land.
In an instant, trees, rocks, and even the earthen walls created by Ishikawa were all pulled and sank into the ground.
"What?! They're gone!!" Just as the earth wall sank halfway down, Temari, who had been watching the situation closely, exclaimed in shock.
Almost at the same moment she spoke, a sharp white-blue blade of light erupted from the ground beside Zi Ai Luo!
With a "splat," Gaara's ribs were violently ripped open, leaving a sharp wound from which blood gushed out, much to Gaara's disbelief and rage.
If it weren't for the Sand Armor, that one strike would have been enough to severely injure him, leaving him on the verge of death.
"Blood, this is my blood!! Mom, this is my blood, ah... ahhh..." Experiencing the excruciating pain of blood for the first time, Gaara instantly went mad and lost his mind.
The raging sand blasted in all directions without leaving any blind spots, allowing Ishikawa to retreat and create distance.
As Gaara screamed with all his might, the gourd on his back instantly transformed into violet quicksand, covering his ribs, right arm, and right face, transforming him into a half-possessed humanoid Shukaku.
"Damn it! That guy's out!!"
The moment she saw the change, Temari's pretty face turned deathly pale and she trembled violently. Without hesitation, as if she were dodging a monster, Temari grabbed Kankuro, whose chest was covered in blood, and ran away.
Ishikawa was slightly taken aback by the clean, swift yet unsteady movements!
It's just a giant tanuki, Shukaku. Why are you so scared?
"However, you finally came out!" Looking at Gaara who was like a raging beast, Ishikawa smiled and sheathed his sword, intending to retreat.
He only intended to gather information about Gaara being the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast and report it to Konoha; he didn't actually intend to fight this guy! Moreover, the continuous high-intensity battles had left him with only a third of his chakra…
"Garuda, you from Sunagakure, I admit you're strong, but I'm no match for you! So let's call it a day, Gara!!" Ishikawa shouted at Gaara before turning and speeding away.
Gaara??
