As a prey, the eighth squad, who could only escape in a hurry. As a hunter, the eighth squad, who arranged the prey clearly... In such a sharp contrast, almost at the moment Gaara attacked, the entire squad team members of the eighth squad lost their ability to move freely with the tacit cooperation. Then, in the burst of exclaiming, the wind escape ninjutsu used by Temari rushed straight to the sky, and declared that all the members of the eighth squad became the fat piece of slaughtered on the chopping board of Gaara's team!

Of course, if Naruto was here, he could see some different tricks from this seemingly unstoppable attack...

Let’s not mention the others for now. The most obvious thing is that Gaara, who took the lead in taking action, performed the ninjutsu on Inuzukaya, not the sand-bound coffin that he used to use in the past. Instead, it used it to consume more chakra, and its original purpose was to act as the last defense of the body, without any lethality, so it naturally was not suitable for the sand armor that defeated the enemy!

It is also because of this that if it was just to subdue Inuzukaya, there was clearly a better choice. But it was like a thankless effort, and deliberately spent more chakra and displayed the armor of sand. Gaara's goal was obvious - that was to capture the members of the eighth uniform alive, but he did not intend to hurt their lives...

In other words, Gaara, who seemed to be neatly acting, has already shown mercy from the beginning!

"Tao, sure enough, these people, like the Konoha Shizunin we met before, are so vulnerable and cannot be compared with our Sand Hidden Village..."

At the same time, when Temari took action, he ordered Gaara in advance, deliberately staying for the final solution, and then blew it directly into the sky, proclaiming the end of the battle. He saw that while he was tightening himself, Shino could not move at all, and even faintly, he gradually gave up struggling and resisting, and Kankuro, who had completely let go of his heart, became more and more proud and arrogant. Then, while turning his head a little, he looked at Gaara who was slowly walking towards Hinata after trapping Inuzukaya, and grinning, mocking without any concealment.

"If this looks like this, the only thing that these guys deserve to praise is that they are lucky. Otherwise, Gaara would not have deliberately ordered us to show mercy..."

In words, because the scrolls needed to pass the assessment have been easily obtained by a group of challengers who overestimated themselves. After witnessing the defeat of Class 8 with their own eyes, Kankuro naturally expanded and relaxed...

However, Kankuro, who came from afar and had contact with Konoha Ninja Village for the first time, obviously had never heard of such a sentence...

In Konoha Ninja Village, the strongest and most terrifying thing is often this seemingly inconspicuous ninja!

"Show mercy? It seems that our ninjas in Konoha Village have been underestimated by you..."

No, right now, at the moment when Kankuro's mind was slightly relaxed, a calm line of voice without joy or sorrow was accompanied by a series of undetectable buzzing sounds, which suddenly came into Kankuro's ears. Then, when Kankuro subconsciously looked in the sound, he happened to see the smile of planning that quietly appeared at the corner of Shino's mouth, who had expected that he should have completely fainted.

"However, if you are too careless and underestimate the enemy, it will easily lead to failure... Let you witness with your own eyes the power of our Konoha Village ninja!"

Almost as Shino finished his speech, Kankuro, who was making a big alarm in his heart, had time to take any response. The black wave formed by the dense swarm of insects continued to surge out of Shino's body. Then, through Kankuro, who was close to him, the inevitable skin contact quickly swept across Kankuro's whole body! In just a few breaths, Kankuro's body, which had no time to make any sound, was completely covered and occupied by the swarm of insects!

It is obvious that the effect that the descendant of the Oil Girl tribe who specializes in driving insects to fight by Shino can achieve is naturally not a paper tiger with a weak appearance. It is a scattered insect that can eat chakra! Then, when the whole body is covered by scattered insects, causing the chakra in Kankuro's body to be quickly deprived of it. It is naturally impossible to accumulate enough strength to limit Shino's actions! So in a flash, the situation between Shino, who easily broke free from the bondage and Kankuro who fell down, was completely reversed!

"Tsk... Didn't you tell you a long time ago, don't underestimate the ninjas in Konoha Village, Kankuro!"

At the same time, because of his remote position, he could see all the figures of the three people in the eighth squad at a glance. The moment Shino started to counterattack, Gaara was attracted by the strangeness that appeared on Kankuro. Then he frowned slightly, and was dissatisfied with reprimanding Kankuro who was careless and underestimating the enemy, but he raised his hand, preparing to drive the fine sand around him to help Kankuro escape.

"What a guy who doesn't have a good memory... I have no choice but to..."

Obviously, dissatisfied, but no matter what, Kankuro was also a teammate of the Little Panda and the Little Panda's biological brother. Under the influence of Naruto's intervention, the small fan that was not as black as Gaara in the original work, and was thinking about the bloody and cruel appearance of killing was impossible to just stand by and watch Kankuro lose. This made Gaara's attention naturally attracted by this unexpected change...

However, just as Gaara was trying to drive all the members of the eighth squad into the ambush circle he had prepared in advance... For Shino, who is good at intelligent battles, it is obviously impossible for him to waste his physical strength and chakra in this long escape, but to prepare for a head-on battle!

Because of this, Shino's actions were just a signal that the eighth squad would launch a counterattack on this, just like Gaara before.

"Hey! The man carrying the gourd! Do you think you still have the heart to take care of others now?"

Just as Gaara's attention was transferred from the unmovable Inuzukaya to the Kankuro who was killed by Shino in an instant, and was preparing to help, an unexpected smug shout echoed from far to near in the forest. Then, without waiting for Gaara who was confused, he turned around and looked at the end in the sound. An object rotating at high speed rushed straight from the dense bushes to Gaara's figure!

"Please take the call, go to the teeth--!"

"What?"

Obviously, the sudden appearance was Inuzukaya, who had been successfully subdued by herself in Gaara's impression! So under my own perception, Gaara, who could clearly feel that the sand was still firmly bound by a certain entity, naturally became more and more confused. Then he sensed it with a little care and noticed that there was a distinct crawling in the airtight sand armor. After the squirming feeling, Gaara, who quickly guessed the truth, murmured and praised in a low voice.

"Is it just a bug caught by the sand? So that's what he said, I'm worthy of being the one who was attracted by Naruto's brother, and even I was fooled..."

The fact is just as Gaara guessed. Before Gaara launched an attack, Shino used the worms living in his body to create a worm clone and mimicked it into the appearance of Inuzukaya. So much so that the real Inuzukaya himself could not only escape from Gaara's sudden attack. He also hid near the eighth squad from the beginning to the end, waiting for an opportunity to move. Until Shino's signal came, he revealed his fangs and appeared to attack Gaara who was at Inuzukaya, but because of his distraction, it was impossible for Gaara to make any defense or dodge in time!

Unfortunately, what Inuzuka Ya absolutely could not have imagined that Gaara used to defend against his own sand did not require active manipulation. Instead, she would actively defend and resist all the factors that were unfavorable to Gaara as if she had a self-awareness! So even though Gaara's attention was successfully attracted by the changes created by Shino, she would not have time to take any counterattack or parry against Inuzuka Ya. However, Gaara's defense did not show any signs of reduction or weakness due to this change!

It is precisely because of this that when Inuzuka Ya was confident that the attack he suddenly attacked would definitely be almost certain, even if he failed to severely damage Gaara, it would definitely cause a significant blow to him. From the huge gourd on Gaara's back, fine sand continued to flow out. Then, when Inuzuka Ya was determined to get this attack, about to hit Gaara's body, it condensed into a thick barrier and intercepted on Inuzuka Ya's attack track!

"boom--!"

Facing the fine sand that Gaara possessed, known as absolute defense, this attack that Inuzuka Ya has been planning for a long time is destined to be futile. Even though the huge roar of the collision between the two sides made the Inuzuka Ya, which seemed to have become a drill, break through the defense of the yellow sand barrier through the terrible destructive power brought by the high speed of its own rotation. However, it only drilled into a small part, and it was as if facing an insurmountable mountain, and could no longer shake it!

"Just... kidding! How terrible is this guy's strength... It's just sand, but the combined hardness is actually stronger than steel?!"

The confident blow was successfully resolved by the other party underestimated... Although I knew Gaara's strength from the scene I had witnessed before, it was far above me. However, after I felt more and more clearly that there was a significant difference between myself and Gaara's strength, the heart of Inuzukaya, who had been smiling bitterly, was still aroused by the heart of

"Tsk, as Shino said, it is impossible to solve him directly... Then, you have to implement the backup plan."

, it’s okay to make him unable to support other people!”

"boom--!"
