Although Sasuke hit Gaara with Chidori several times, the powerful penetrating power was buffered by piles of sand. Although it caused Gaara considerable trouble, the damage to the main body was really limited.
Moreover, as Gaara's form became closer and closer to that of a raccoon cat, his power became more and more terrifying. The binding circle could no longer trap him. The shock waves caused by waving his arms made it difficult for people to approach him, let alone attack him. It was completely ineffective.
Sakura Haruno leaned against a tree trunk not far away, quietly treating her injuries. In the previous wave of attacks, as Gaara broke free from his restraints, her frantic arm of Suna almost hit Sakura directly, and her sharp claws almost hit her directly. Fortunately, Uchiha Sasuke reacted quickly and noticed something was wrong and rescued Sakura, but her left arm was still injured. Even a little bit of it caused serious damage, which directly made Sakura lose her combat effectiveness.
Fortunately, Gaara did not chase Sakura. To the violent Gaara, Sakura, whose presence was weak, was irrelevant to the overall situation. Uchiha Sasuke, who had hurt him, was the one he wanted to kill.
Just when Sasuke was at a loss, Uzumaki Naruto finally arrived and came to support him.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique." Naruto made hand seals and shouted loudly, and a large number of shadow clones appeared, flew forward and began to put pressure on Gaara.
Uzumaki Naruto's true form came to Haruno Sakura and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Sakura?"
"It's okay, go and see how Sasuke is doing." Just now, Sakura watched Sasuke being swept away by the huge shock wave, and she didn't know how seriously he was injured.
"No need, I'm fine." Sasuke said this and walked out from behind a tree not far away.
Seeing that Sasuke was fine, Naruto and Sakura were relieved.
"That's great, we can attack together. We will definitely not lose to Gaara~" Naruto said happily.
Sasuke listened to Naruto's words, smiled proudly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt weak all over, and he couldn't control his body and fell forward to his knees, his hands weakly supporting the ground. His neck was also in great pain, and Sasuke couldn't help but scream.
"Asshole, it has to be this time."
It was expected that his body would not be able to bear it anymore. The number of times he used Chidori was several times the upper limit that Kakashi required. In the end, he even had to use the Sharingan to deal with Gaara's increasingly fierce counterattacks. It was inevitable that his body would be overdrawn.
Seeing Sasuke fall to the ground, Sakura and Naruto hurried over.
"What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked worriedly. If he was injured, her medical ninjutsu would be of great help, but if he was just overdrawn and his body couldn't support him, she would be powerless.
Sasuke's curse seal was becoming more and more active, and even the slightest movement of chakra caused a sharp pain. He could no longer care about the two people's problems.
Even after being helped up, he still couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground.
"Looks like I need to rest for a while." Sasuke said self-deprecatingly.
"I really can't accept this. There are so many powerful ninjas out there, but I can't even get past this one. When will I be able to kill that guy?"
Suddenly, Sasuke noticed Gaara coming towards him quickly not far away.
"Be careful, the enemy is coming." Sasuke warned hurriedly.
Uzumaki Naruto looked back and said, "How is it possible that so many shadow clones were killed so quickly?"
After saying that, he turned around and said, "Sakura, take care of Sasuke first, I'll stop this guy."
Countless shadow clones attacked Gaara again.
…
In the Four Purple Flame Formation, the Sandaime panted as he watched the two previous Hokage being torn apart and reassembled again and again. With Sarutobi Hiruzen's current strength, and with the omnipotence potion temporarily restoring most of his strength, he was able to barely overpower the two teachers who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation and whose strength was suppressed.
However, a certain degree of immortality is too troublesome. Standing in front of him, although he can't cause much harm to him, he can't get close to Orochimaru.
"If we continue to consume energy like this, the situation will not be good."
Even if he really broke through the defense line, it was hard to say whether he could defeat Orochimaru who was well-rested and waiting for him.
"Sarutobi, this is not a solution." Sarumo said worriedly, "It's too much for one person to deal with three."
"Yeah." Sarutobi Hiruzen panted, "I originally thought I could handle it by myself, but it seems I am still too old. In this case, there is no other way. Preparing a big move will make too much noise, Sarutobi, assist me."
After saying that, the Third Generation recalled several shadow clones, then quickly formed hand seals, bringing the five elements of ninjutsu to its full potential.
"Five escape techniques - Great Linking Technique."
Instantly, five different ninjutsu of earth, water, fire, thunder, and wind soared into the sky, moving forward and flattening everything in front of them. The huge attack force directly bombarded the barrier of the Four Purple Flame Formation. The huge and seemingly unbreakable barrier did not last long under the powerful attack, and was broken with a burst of explosions.
The force of the ninjutsu that broke through the barrier slowed down slightly, and it spread all the way, smashing a small building next to it into pieces, before finally turning into energy and dissipating in the air.
Seeing the situation was not good, Orochimaru quickly hid and escaped the disaster, staring at the Third Generation in amazement: "Impossible, how can you still have such power?"
How could this ultimate power, which the Sandaime couldn't use more than a few times even at his peak, be used in this situation?
Orochimaru looked at the Sandaime with a serious expression. If such a powerful ninjutsu could be used, with Orochimaru's rich experience in studying various forbidden techniques, it would be easy to judge that this was not a simple overdraft, but a desperate effort. When the effect of the stimulation wore off, the Sandaime would most likely die.
"It seems that I still underestimated your awareness, Sarutobi-sensei."
Outside the Four Purple Flame Formation, the fake Jinchuriki looked at the huge ninjutsu fluctuations inside, then looked at the smashed small attic next to it, then turned to the Anbu and suggested: "Use ninjutsu to attack the fat man and the female ninja over there."
The fat man is Jirobo, the weakest among the Four Sound Ninjas. Tayuya, as the only female ninja among them, has an innate weakness, which makes it very likely that she has the weakest chakra among the five.
In a complete barrier, the lack of uniformity in power may cause loopholes, which will not be apparent under pressure, but will give oneself an opportunity to exploit under a powerful attack.
Just when the Anbu organized several people and used various ninjutsu to attack continuously in the direction requested by Mizuki, and Mizuki was still looking for a way to break it, another large continuous bullet technique passed through and pierced through the barrier again.
The Four Purple Flame Formation, which had suffered severe damage repeatedly, finally could not hold on any longer, and the barrier began to slowly dissipate.
"The Four Purple Flame Formation was broken just like that?"
