Ch 50: Sasuke's Secret Strategy

'Sakura Focus..'

Sakura took a deep breath as she recalled Sanada's words.

His fists began to collect water vapor around him as he was now in Total Concentration Breathing mode.

"Karakusagawara!!!!"

BOOM!!!!!

Sakura's fist hit Gaara's stomach, which made him almost vomit.

This one was the strongest blow Gaara had ever taken, and he never expected that a slim woman like Sakura would have such powerful strength.

If he could choose now, he would rather endure Sasuke's slash than receive Sakura's punch at full force.

Gaara was thrown several meters away, but the ferocious combo of Sakura and Sasuke continued.

They knew they should not let Gaara take the momentum, or the situation could turn around at any time.

With one sword and one fist, Sakura and Sasuke continued to cover each other.

When Sakura's attack was blocked by Gaara's Sand Hand, Sasuke would use his Yubashiri to slash Gaara's neck.

But when Gaara tried to block Sasuke's slash, Sakura was ready to land a full-power punch again on him.

BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!!

Fire, sand, and water continued to scatter around the battlefield as the battle grew more intense.

Although Gaara was strong, he still could not do much against the perfect coordination of Sakura and Sasuke.

In one of the moments, Sasuke was able to slash Gaara on the shoulder, and Sakura quickly followed with Yarinami to drop Gaara high into the air.

Gaara will not lose easily either. Even with Sasuke and Sakura's combined strength, he still tried to retaliate and was somehow able to inflict some injuries on Sakura and Sasuke's bodies.

"ENOUGH!!!!"

Gaara shouted as the few minutes he was being pushed around by Sakura and Sasuke had passed. With Gaara's shout, Sakura and Sasuke took the opportunity and appeared right next to him.

"Karakusagawara!!!!"

"Hinokami Kagura: Enbu!!!"

BOOM!!!!

A massive explosion occurs when Sasuke and Sakura hit their target.

Under normal circumstances, the two would be happy when their attack hit Gaara, but instead, their faces looked grim.

As their attack was about to end this battle, Garra suddenly continued to transform into a monster, this time leaving only her legs unchanged.

If previously Sasuke and Sakura could still handle the situation safely, Gaara's transformation this time was able to turn their circumstances around.

A large sand hand appeared to block the two attacks, and their attacks were unable to reach Gaara.

*Swoosh*

Gaara swung his arm as the two Genins were thrown into several trees at random.

Of course, Sasuke and Sakura did not give up so easily.

"Wind Release: Infinite Sand Clouds - Great Breakthrough!!"

A ridiculous amount of sand bullets were launched from Gaara's mouth, which forced Sasuke and Sakura to dodge and think once more about their strategy.

Both of them used replacement jutsu to dodge the sand bullets and arrived at the nearby tree with slightly pale faces as they had exhausted a lot of Chakra in all this confrontation with Gaara.

"Sasuke, what should we do? If we continue like this, I think our chakra will run out before we can defeat Gaara...."

Sasuke heard Sakura's words and frowned.

Words true. In their current state, they would not be able to beat Gaara, and the best option might be to run.

But Sasuke, despite having lost a bit of his anxiety, did not change his pride from not letting him escape from a battle like this.

He looked at Gaara while gritting his teeth.

"Let's try it again Sakura, I have a strategy."

Sasuke said that while walking towards Gaara.

Sakura could only shake her head helplessly at Sasuke's behavior. In the end, he still decided to follow.

Sakura appears right in front of Gaara in an attempt to engage him in close combat with Lapras as her support.

Lapras sent blocks of ice from below, which slightly helped reduce Sakura's load.

BAM!!!

Sakura's attack hits the target, but once again, the sand shield proves difficult to penetrate.

He used his feet to kick Gaara in the face, but it was easily swung by Gaara's sand hands.

Sakura is in very bad shape now. Even if he was able to hold back against Gaara, he knew he would not last long.

He could only put his hopes on Sasuke's successful plan. Otherwise, both are guaranteed to meet their end.

As Sakura confronts Gaara in close combat, Sasuke chooses to appear above the two of them, with his attacking position preparing for Hinokami Kagura: Clear Blue Sky.

He had tried this attack before, and the result was that he had failed to graze Gaara's body, so why was he trying to do it again?

The reason for that was Sanada's secret strategy that he had told Sasuke before.

'Sasuke, if you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation, there is one word you can say to get a big boost of strength. And that word is...'

When Sasuke heard this sentence, he clearly thought Sanada was joking with him.

But now, he wished Sanada's words were true and he could rely on her in this kind of situation.

He swung his sword down with a 360° slash towards Gaara, and then...

"Youto!!!!!!!!"

Sasuke shouted loudly and somehow after doing so, Sasuke felt his blood burn, and the amount of chakra that could be pumped into his sword had increased dramatically.

The sword that was now shining with an incomparable flame before instantly hit Gaara's neck that changed in form.

*Enough!!!*
