"Temari, have you noticed... Gaara seems to be giving that kid a chance."

Not only Sasuke, but Kankuro, who returned to the candidate area to watch the competition, also discovered clues.

With Shikamaru's strength, it is still a little different from Sasuke. There is no reason for the two to get entangled for such a long time.

"Maybe Gaara has other plans," Temari pondered.

"You said...will it have something to do with Nara Shikamaru defeating you? Because he defeated you, Gaara decided to let him suffer a little more?"

Kankuro guessed.

When Temari talked about this, she couldn't help but blush again on her cheeks. She said unhappily: "You should ask me Gaara, how can I know about this!"

After being scolded for no reason, Kankuro smiled bitterly, "I feel... after you lost that game, you seem to be particularly irritable..."

"Stop talking about it. That guy Nara Shikamaru seems to be starting to attack." Temari changed the subject.

On the field.

Shikamaru, who had been chasing by Sand Hands, launched an attack for a long time.

He first used a few detonation talismans to blow up the few sand hands closest to him, and took advantage of the gap where the sand hands condensed again and rushed towards Gaara.

When the distance is right, the shadow imitation technique is activated, and the target is directed at Gaara.

As the stretched shadow was about to succeed, a wave of sand suddenly slapped under his feet, hitting Shikamaru's knees, causing pain to make him kneel half on the ground.

Along with the shadow imitation technique, he was interrupted due to helplessness.

The Sand Hands on both sides gathered over, and another horizontal patter was taken, slapped Shikamaru out of the casting range of shadow imitation technique, and then the Sand Hands continued to suppress him.

In one failure, Shikamaru did not give up, but instead avoided the attack of the sand hand, he continued to aim at the opportunity and rushed forward with his fragile body.

Use the Khao Wu and the detonation talisman to explode a channel.

Under this continuous consumption, the detonation talismans in the ninja bag became less and less. Shikamaru finally got rid of the Sand Hand and planned to attack Gaara. When he touched it inward, he only had two detonation talismans and two Kyuba left in the ninja bag.

This is his last attack method. If you come back, you will be out of ammunition and food...

"Are two... enough!"

Without hesitation, I took out the Kyuuba cooperation detonation talisman, and the burning detonation talisman was fired along with Kyuuba.

"Oh? I've been tampered with it." Kankuro smiled. With sharp eyes, he had already seen Shikamaru's empty ninja bag, but he obviously didn't believe it was the other party's last resort.

If this person is really that stupid, then he will never have won Temari.

Whoosh.

The black shadow drilled out along the hole, and combined with the shadow formed by the huge sand hand, it wrapped around from behind, grabbing Gaara.

Shadow imitation technique, success.

Shikamaru controlled the shadow and began to run forward.

Just take Gaara out of the automatically formed Sand Shield for a moment, then the two detonating talismans may cause damage to it.

Without the protection of sand, if you eat these two explosions, even a strong man like Gaara will definitely not be harmed.

However, the foot that had just stepped forward could not be stepped on anyway...

Shikamaru looked at this scene in disbelief, watching the two detonating talismans explode. Gaara, who was controlled by the shadow imitation technique under the automatic defense of the Sand Shield, did not move.

The other party... was not affected by shadow imitation techniques at all.

Gaara raised his hand and tried to clench his fists. Shikamaru, opposite him, reluctantly followed his movements and clenched his fists.

Feeling the pressure on my body when I was controlled by the shadow imitation technique, Gaara chuckled.

"This secret technique should have the effect of making a big move. You only need to spend a small amount of chakra to control the enemy's actions for a long time.

Skills are good techniques.

Unfortunately...even if you can get a pound of pounds, you still need to have the strength to get a pound of pounds to move me."

With his strength, Shikamaru is now very useful even if he successfully uses the shadow imitation technique. After all, the difference in strength between the two is too huge.

On the contrary, from Gaara's side, you can even control Shikamaru's body in reverse.

"Sure enough, no matter how much he let that guy go, he would not be able to let Gaara move even if he had a step, and the gap in strength between the two sides was there."

Kankuro is happy to see Konoha Ninja suffer a defeat.

"If I were him, I would surrender now so as not to lose more face."

"Temari, guess that guy will raise his hand and surrender immediately?"

The blonde girl who was asked frowned slightly and said vaguely: "I'm not him, how can I know..."

Gaara clenched his fists, feeling the restraint of shadow imitation on him seemed to be gradually decreasing, he shook his head, "I thought you could at least put some pressure on me, but now it seems that I still overestimate you.

Give up, don't let me do it myself."

Shikamaru reluctantly smiled, "Do you admit defeat? If you resist the last move, then I will listen to your advice."

In the sky, a small shadow of a bunch came directly above Gaara's head.

It was a burning dress.

He was ready for this long before Shikamaru threw out the last two detonation talismans Shuriken.

After careful calculation, when the clothes came to Gaara's head, they just burned to the Kyusun wrapped below.

The detonation talisman of Khuna was ignited, falling from the sky, and exploded vertically towards Gaara.

"That idiot, what's the use of burning clothes? Even if it takes so much trouble, the explosion of the detonator will still not blow up Gaara's Sand Shield."

When Kankuro saw that the opponent was struggling with death, he couldn't help but sneer.

But before he could laugh, suddenly, Kankuro noticed something familiar, and in an instant, he couldn't laugh.

He saw that there was a very small poison sac hanging on the kunai.

That was the deadly poisonous sac that fell out when the puppet mountain pepper fish was destroyed!

Bang.

Detonation talisman explodes.

The automatically formed sand shield perfectly resists the explosion, but the purple smoke produced by the explosion of this poison sac is irresistible to the sand shield.

Soon, Zi Yan swallowed Gaara's entire body.

"Kankuro, it depends on your good things!" When Temari saw Zi Yan, how could she not understand what was going on. She raised her eyebrows and stared at Kankuro.

Kankuro laughed dryly, "I didn't expect that the poison sac would not be recovered... However, with Gaara's strength, even if he was poisoned, he should be fine."

"Are you sure?"

"It should...it should." Kankuro said uncertainly.

Everyone on the stage stared at the purple mist at this moment.

After a long time, Gaara still didn't rush out of it.

Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique, although he could not control Gaara, he still had some restraint on it. Even if Gaara wanted to act, he would still need some effort.

What's more, judging from several battles, Gaara's physical skills are not good, and he cannot retreat from the purple mist in time, which is not surprising.

But...it would be fine if I didn't rush out of the purple mist at the first time. It's been so long since time passed, but the other party still didn't move, which made people feel some suspicion.

After a while, the purple mist dissipated. Shikamaru was startled at first, and then he smiled bitterly.

Inside the eyes, it was a wind coat formed by thin sand, protecting Gaara's body in all aspects.

With the defense of the wind outer jacket, the purple mist in the previous period did not erode Gaara at all.

Even the other party didn't have to move a single step.

The chakra was exhausted, the thorns were exhausted, and at the end of the road, Shikamaru finally stopped persevering.

He raised his hands calmly.
Chapter completed!
