Chapter 155: Beating the Fifth Kazekage
Ino kept detonating bubbles, which made a non-stop "cracking" sound, but the bubbles were not Deidara's clay bombs after all. Most of the time, they used the splashing water after the explosion to erode the sand on a larger scale. Gaara set up three layers of shields, and when the third layer was eroded, the sand that originally constructed the first layer of defense had also dried up. This cycle repeated itself, and the effectiveness of the bubble technique was greatly reduced.
Gaara had a ferocious look on his face and stared at Ino, his heart full of evil thoughts. The more beautiful something was, the more he wanted to destroy it.
Why do you live so well while I have to live in purgatory?
His evil thoughts were too strong. Ino sensed the strong murderous intent and immediately stopped holding back.
She rushed out like an arrow, without any fancy moves, and was met with a powerful punch.
Gaara's physical skills, strength, and speed were completely suppressed by her.
Especially in terms of physical skills and speed.
Before he could see what was happening, Ino's fist punched a big hole in the front of the sand shield that was corroded by bubbles.
Ino changed her fists into claws, exerted force with her arms, grabbed Gaara by the collar, and forcibly pulled him out of the Sand Shield.
Then he grabbed his collar with one hand and the cloth strap of the gourd on his back with the other hand and lifted him up horizontally.
With a loud shout, he kneed Gaara in the stomach, sending the future Fifth Kazekage flying more than three meters high. While in mid-air, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Gaara gritted his teeth, realizing that the other party was faster than him, and immediately waved his right hand, trying to entangle her hands and feet with fine sand to restrict her movement.
Ino stomped her feet hard on the ground, took a step forward before the sand closed up, her body like a bow, and her left foot raised high again.
Gaara had seen this move when she hit Temari just now. Now he was in mid-air and couldn't dodge it. He could only cross his arms to protect his face.
"Painful kick!" Ino's left foot smashed heavily on Gaara's arm from top to bottom, breaking his wrist and arm bones on the spot. He had to mobilize the tailed beast's chakra to recover from his injuries.
Ino didn't wait for him to land. She took a step and rushed out, grabbed his wrist with her backhand and pulled him towards herself. Then she clenched her left fist, suddenly opened her arm outward and threw a quick punch.
"Super Power Fist!"
The fist hit Gaara's left cheek with great force, and he was knocked back seven or eight meters, staggering on his feet, with a lot of sand falling off his face.
In the critical moment, he had to use the Sand Armor for defense, which was able to barely block most of the damage from the punch.
"Stare at me?"
"You want me to die?"
"Not convinced?!"
Ino's fists rained down on Gaara, who tried to fight back, but his physical skills were too bad! Ino had never seen anyone with worse physical skills than him in all her time. You don't practice at all, do you? She was often attacked by people using physical skills. At this time, facing someone with weaker physical skills than her, she felt very happy.
Facing this veritable "sandbag", she punched him hard, and the stress-relieving effect was excellent. The pressure that Orochimaru brought to her was directly reduced by more than half.
Gaara had never expected that her physical skills would improve so rapidly, so the original plan of both sides standing still and then performing ninjutsu was no longer effective.
He also tried to punch back, but Ino had been trained by Tsunade for a month and didn't give him any chances at all, always letting Gaara get beaten within her two-meter melee range. Whenever the dry sand surrounded him, Ino would use bubbles to erode his sand, and then continue to beat him violently.
Temari and Kankuro on the competition stage were extremely anxious, but they had no good solution.
The "Fourth Kazekage" on the high stand was also very disappointed. No wonder your Sand Village has become the shame of the five major ninja villages. It's really too weak. The former fierce Jinchūriki is now at this level? The son of the Fourth Kazekage who always looked constipated is now being beaten like a punching bag?
He knew that Ino still had a particularly "inflated" trick that she hadn't used yet, and now she was completely using her own weaknesses to fight the enemy.
All preparations for Konoha's collapse plan have been completed. At this moment, he can't add any drama and can only watch patiently.
Ino beat Gaara for three minutes, and the other party was relying on the chakra of the tailed beast to repair his body.
As the fight went on, the guy sneered, meaning, "If you have the guts, kill me! If you can't kill me now, I'll kill you later!"
Ino couldn't kill anyone in this situation, and she was also annoyed by the tailed beast's recovery ability.
Are you trying to get ahead of me? Water, earth, and wind, three types of chakra appeared on her fingers at the same time, and then she used Yin to replace lightning, and Yang to replace fire. Without saying a word, Ino tore open Gaara's shirt, and her right hand formed into a claw, with five fingers carrying five types of chakra, and branded the skinny boy's belly.
"Five Elements Seal!"
The five fingers were like five branding irons, piercing through his body directly. Gaara felt great pain all over his body. He hadn't felt such pain for a long, long time.
"Ah——!" He let out a scream.
When the Five Elements Seal was applied, the connection between Gaara and the tailed beast in his body was instantly severed by more than half, and his recovery ability dropped sharply.
Temari and Kankuro looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
"That wild boar... no, that female ninja from Konoha, is she trying to seal the monster inside Gaara's body?" Temari's face was full of disbelief.
In her impression, sealing and unsealing were the jobs of the village's high-ranking officials and jonin. She could not imagine that her opponent half an hour ago had such profound attainments in ninjutsu.
Naruto held his head with his hands and squinted his eyes. He felt that Ino's actions just now were extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment.
The Sand Village jonins on the high platform immediately became restless. Oh my goodness, the tailed beast is sealed? How can we launch an attack later? We can't just go back in disgrace, right? What should we say when we go back? We can say that a genin from Konoha Village scared us with a sealing technique, so we didn't dare to move and just came back? The Sand Village ninjas didn't know what kind of sealing technique this was, but the "Fourth Kazekage" saw it at a glance. It was the Five Elements Seal, and he knew this sealing technique.
He really couldn't stay out of it at this time. He could only protest to the Third Generation on behalf of the Sand Village Ninjas: "The sealing technique of your village ninjas is really good."
Even he couldn't say this was a low-level ninjutsu against his conscience, so he praised it for a few words and then changed the subject: "Isn't it inappropriate for a ninja from your village to seal the One-Tail like this?"
The Sandaime's smile was full of Versailles: "Sealing techniques are also ninjutsu. There is no rule prohibiting the use of sealing techniques in the Chunin Exams, right? At least I don't remember it. Since Ino can use it, we can't stop her from using it now, right? I will let her unseal it after the competition, Your Excellency the Kazekage can rest assured."
I'm not at ease at all! The "Fourth Kazekage" felt that today's drama hadn't even begun yet, and there were strange and unexpected twists and turns.
