"Every time I see the power Ranmaru unleashes, I can't help but be amazed."
Zabuza Momochi was already standing, his gaze fixed on the battle in the distance.
"Hehe, although we usually spar, we've never really fought seriously. I wonder who's stronger."
Ameyuri Ringo propped up her chin, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.
As this voice sounded, the atmosphere among everyone present suddenly became somewhat subtle.
Suigetsu Hozuki wore a troubled expression, glancing at everyone's faces. Finally, seeing Kimimaro sitting in the furthest corner, his eyes lit up, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly: "Kimimaro, who do you think is stronger among them?"
Hearing Suigetsu Hozuki's voice, Kimimaro, who had been closing his eyes, slowly opened them, his final gaze falling upon Kisame Hoshigaki.
Kisame Hoshigaki's eyelid twitched slightly, and then he felt several gazes simultaneously fall upon him.
On the other side, the battle continued.
Seeing the constantly shattered sand, Gaara's expression became increasingly grim.
Ranmaru's wild power easily broke through his Ninjutsu.
If the quicksand hadn't temporarily restricted Ranmaru's movements, it's likely Ranmaru would have been able to severely injure him with just one punch.
"Sand Burial Blast!"
Gaara pressed his hands onto the ground and let out another roar.
Boom!
All the wild sand in the entire area began to churn, transforming into a monstrous sand current like a giant wave, crashing down towards Ranmaru.
Ranmaru's figure was instantly buried!
Seeing this scene, Gaara heavily gasped for breath. Just as Gaara was preparing to relax.
A muffled sound, like thunder, came from beneath the sand.
Exploding Blade Technique - Breaking Hair Heavy Explosion!
Boom!
The terrifying explosive power directly blasted a crater in the entire sand sea, and Ranmaru, holding his Exploding Blade, directly rushed out from the sand sea.
Gaara's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. Just as he was about to make a move, Ranmaru's figure had already appeared before him.
"It's over."
Ranmaru held the Exploding Blade towards Gaara and directly brought it down.
Whoosh!
A large amount of sand surged out from behind Gaara, blocking in front of Gaara.
Unfortunately, the moment the Exploding Blade touched the sand, an explosion occurred, easily shattering the defense made of sand and simultaneously blasting Gaara inside away.
Just as Ranmaru was preparing to completely knock out Gaara and then lock him back into the confinement cell, Ranmaru's body suddenly paused.
The next moment, Ranmaru's face showed a surprised expression as he looked at a spot not far behind him.
He saw Yūto, Mei Terumī, and Ao slowly walking towards him.
Ranmaru casually flicked the Exploding Blade, and it transformed back into a palm-sized scroll, falling into Ranmaru's hand. At the same time, the Cursed Seal Level 1 state quickly deactivated.
Ranmaru, with a happy expression, quickly ran towards Yūto.
Meanwhile, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and others who were watching also quickly stood up, their faces showing respectful expressions.
"Yūto-sama!"
Ranmaru looked at Yūto with a happy face and said.
Yūto smiled faintly, reached out to pat Ranmaru's little head, and chuckled: "How has your training been recently?"
Ranmaru's little face showed a serious expression, and he said solemnly: "Ranmaru has been training well all along."
Seeing Ranmaru trying hard to put on a grown-up expression, Mei Terumī, who was standing beside Yūto, covered her mouth and chuckled a few times.
"Ah!!!"
A voice filled with killing intent and anger came from Gaara's direction at this moment!
Shukaku's Spear!
A spear, completely solidified from sand particles to the extreme and even mixed with dark red talismans, shot out from Gaara's direction.
When they saw that the direction this spear was shot was precisely towards Yūto, everyone present erupted with a terrifying killing intent.
A bolt of lightning flashed with brilliant light, shooting from the side and directly hitting this spear.
The two forces collided, and under the effect of the lightning, Shukaku's Spear was quickly shattered.
As the electric light dissipated, Ameyuri Ringo's figure was already standing in front of Yūto.
"You're looking for death!"
Ameyuri Ringo looked towards Gaara and spoke coldly.
Lightning Release - Lightning Dragon!
Ameyuri Ringo quickly formed hand seals, and in an instant, a Lightning Dragon composed entirely of lightning roared towards Gaara.
The terrifying lightning glow flashed, causing Gaara's pupils to shrink deeply.
Lightning itself counters Earth Release Ninjutsu. A defense made of sand simply couldn't withstand this Lightning Dragon.
"Alright, the fun is over."
Yūto's voice suddenly echoed in the ears of everyone present, and the Lightning Dragon that had been surging forward disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, Yūto's figure, without anyone noticing when, was already standing in front of Gaara.
No one noticed when Yūto had moved.
Seeing Yūto suddenly appear before him, Gaara couldn't help but step back several paces.
"Weren't you looking for me? I'm here now."
Yūto looked at Gaara, whose face held a nervous expression, and spoke calmly.
The killing intent on Gaara's face slowly receded, allowing him to put on a calm expression: "Who exactly are you?"
"My name is Yūto, the First Mizukage of the Mist Ninja Village."
Yūto's voice remained calm, but his eyes were already somewhat unfriendly.
As if to say, if there's any more nonsense, the consequences are on you.
A hint of astonishment flashed in Gaara's eyes, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Now, Gaara finally knew why the One-Tail Shukaku was afraid when it saw this young man before him.
"I know you have a way to deal with the monster in my head."
Gaara raised his head, looking directly into Yūto's eyes, a hint of madness flickering in his gaze.
Seeing Gaara's expression, a look of surprise flashed across Yūto's face. He had initially thought Gaara wanted to see him because it was related to the Sand Ninja Village.
Now it seems, it was actually because of the One-Tail Shukaku.
I almost forgot, Gaara, who hasn't fought Naruto, naturally hasn't resolved his inner turmoil yet.
A hint of thought flashed in Yūto's eyes, followed by a look of amusement at the corner of his mouth.
"Bastard!"
"You brat, go die!"
The One-Tail Shukaku inside Gaara let out roars. It could naturally hear what Gaara said.
He actually wanted Yūto to deal with it. Thinking of this, the One-Tail Shukaku trembled slightly.
"Have you always thought that this sand is the power of the monster inside you?"
Yūto looked at Gaara and spoke calmly.
Isn't it?
Seeing Yūto's expression, Gaara frowned, somewhat not understanding the meaning behind Yūto's words.
