"Um~ You're scared!"
Just as Gamabunta was about to leave, he heard a teasing taunt from above. These words made his huge body hesitate slightly, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Damn brat, what are you talking about?"
Sasuke was sitting leisurely on Gamabunta's huge body, with his legs casually crossed, looking like he was on vacation.
"I've heard that all the frogs on Mount Myoboku are both wise and brave, and righteous. But seeing you today, when you meet someone stronger, you just run away in a hurry. You're nothing special after all!"
"Sasuke!"
Naruto sensed Gamabunta's rage, gulped nervously, and quietly tried to talk sense into the guy beside him.
Did he think everyone was like him, able to face his sarcasm calmly? If this continued, something might happen to both sides.
"Naruto, you too. Stop talking about learning some powerful Ninjutsu. All you've done is summon a useless thing. There's nothing to be happy about!"
Gamabunta had lived for so many years and was extremely shrewd. Of course he knew this brat was using reverse psychology, but he still fell for it.
"You damn brat! I'm going to make you my side dish today!"
Gamabunta stuck out his long tongue, trying to reach Sasuke on his head. But this action pushed the pipe in his mouth out a bit.
Coincidentally, it was hit and shattered by the tailed - beast version of Air Bullets flying at high speed...
Silence...
Cold sweat broke out on Naruto's forehead. He didn't even dare to breathe, and it was as silent as death...
He looked at the completely shattered pipe. The boss frog seemed to cherish this thing very much since he always had it in his mouth. Now that it was destroyed, he must be very angry...
It was like the last calm before the storm. After the silence came Gamabunta's towering anger.
Gamabunta roared at the out - of - control Shukaku. He leaped high above Shukaku, drew his Tantō from behind, and slashed down. The knife was imbued with great force and an overwhelming momentum!
A cold glint flashed and cut off one of Shukaku's arms.
Shukaku, who was already out of control, became even more furious. He grabbed one of Gamabunta's arms with his remaining paw and threw him over his shoulder into the air.
Gamabunta, still in the air, had no way to dodge. He watched as Shukaku's body swelled more and more. As Shukaku opened his big mouth, super - sized Air Bullets were fired one after another.
"Damn Shukaku!"
One of the Air Bullets hit his belly, sending his huge body flying far away. But even so, Shukaku had no intention of stopping. He firmly grasped the ground with his four limbs and used himself as a cannon, firing Air Bullets one after another as if they were free.
Facing such a dense attack, Gamabunta also felt something was wrong. It wasn't the time to be angry with the two brats. He had to think of a way.
"Hey! Which of you two brats knows Fire Release?"
"O! The boss frog, Sasuke knows Fire Release, and I use Wind Release!"
"Okay, then you guys cooperate with my attack later and launch your own ninjutsu as well!"
After saying that, without waiting for the two to reply, he puffed out his cheeks, took a deep breath, and sprayed a large amount of frog oil.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage"
Sasuke's Fire Release met the oil and immediately ignited a raging fire. Naruto's Wind Release: Pressure Damage further fueled the flames, making the attack reach farther and become more powerful.
Gatai Ninjutsu had astonishing power. It penetrated Shukaku's body at once, leaving a large hollow hole. Gamabunta also leaped forward and came in front of Shukaku.
"Now is the time! You two rush up and give that unconscious kid a hard punch!"
Sasuke and Naruto looked at the unconscious Gaara. After hearing that, they didn't hesitate and rushed up directly. Gamabunta blocked the crazy Shukaku on one side.
As soon as they stepped forward, they felt something was wrong. The sand on Shukaku seemed to have a mind of its own, blocking their steps.
"Damn it!"
The sand responded to their steps and immediately wrapped tightly around Naruto's ankle, preventing him from approaching Gaara.
"Lightning Release: Chidori Current"
Sasuke finely controlled his chakra and released Lightning Release: Chidori Current on the sand pile around Naruto's feet. Sure enough, the sand was attacked and slowly loosened. However, in this way, he himself was tightly wrapped by the sand grains.
"Naruto, hurry up!"
"Shadow Clone Jutsu"
Naruto used Shadow Clone Jutsu to create dozens of clones, intending to disrupt the sand in this way. Unexpectedly, no matter how many clones Naruto created, they were all blocked outside by the self - attacking sand piles. Looking at Gaara not far away and the struggling boss Frog, Naruto couldn't help being annoyed with himself.
Damn it! Victory was clearly within reach. Why couldn't he get any closer?
He staggered and fell onto Shukaku's huge body. As he touched its yellow skin, a cold and lonely feeling went straight to his heart.
"Who will save me..."
"What is this... What is this..."
He looked up at Gaara. This feeling, this emotion came from the unconscious Gaara.
He heard Gaara's painful cry and saw Gaara's experiences flash before his eyes like a slideshow...
Suffocation, betrayal, despair. He couldn't get a shred of love and pity. He could only hypnotize himself, saying that he didn't need others' love...
Gaara was crying... Tears ran down his cheeks...
He was asking him for help.
This irritating feeling was so familiar. Naruto grasped Shukaku's rough skin so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He must save Gaara in front of him! Pull him out of the endless abyss!
"Sasuke!"
"Idiot, you're being too slow!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had Telepathy.
"Naruto, this is my last bit of chakra!"
"Okay!"
"
'"Lightning Release: Chidori Current"'
This time, Sasuke unleashed all his Chakra in one go. The blue lightning that enveloped his body spread out in all directions through the sand. Not only did he free himself from the restraints, but he also helped Naruto get within one punch's distance of the unconscious Gaara!
"Naruto!"
Immediately, Naruto felt the restraints on his body loosen and rushed towards Gaara with all his might. Sasuke's lightning cleared the obstacles on his way forward. He leaped into the air and landed right above Gaara, then slammed his fist down hard on Gaara's unconscious face.
