" Whats happening to the uchiha brat !? "
" Is it some kind of technique !? "
" Are they really genins !! I feel like ill have a tough time fighting agaisnt them "
" Of course you will .."
" Damn you !!! "
" Hey stop it and watch the match !! "
As the crowd grew more excited and started cheering for the match to get more intense .
Only a handfull of individuals knew what actually was happening .
Guy , kurenai , anko and asuma all turned to look at Kakashi .
As anko was the first one who reacted and spoke out .
" Kakashi !!! Didnt jiraya sama seal the mark !! "
Kakashi sighed and nodded
" He did , but sasukes mark is different from yours , jiraya sama told me that Orochimaru has improved beyond his understanding in terms of seals and fujin jutsu . I am afraid the seal that Jiraya sama had placed broke under sasukes rage and determination to win causing the curse mark to react violently and shattered the seal from inside "
" Damn that Orochimaru!! " Asuma muttered as he looked at sasuke .
" Why arent we stopping the match !! " Anko asked .
Kurenai told it upon herself to explain .
" This match is not a match between sasuke and Gaara ...but a show of force and strength between the leaf and sand villages .
If we withdraw , it will undermine our authority especially when the kazekage is present "
Anko turned to see the Hokage and Kazekage galking to each other and gritted her teeth .
" but what about sasuke !! ...kakashi isnt he your student !!? "
But before kakashi could reply , Naruto spoke .
" Its no use , we can stop sasuke today but what about thr next time !!? .. it isnt about that Sasuke needs to wins but he is desperate to win .. as his goal is Itachi and after losing again and again ...he will no longer wait to use the cursed mark energy to get power and his revenge .
If we interfere now , it will only push him deeper into the abyss ... Atleast now , we can help him after the effects of the mark end "
Anko closed her mouth as her gaze looked as if she was spitting venom .
Her fist were clenched as she cursed both itachi and orochimaru .
Asuma took a deep puff of smoke and kurenai also sighed .
Guy patted kakashi on his shoulder and remained silent .
....
Sasuke emoowered by the cursed mark , felt his entire body become light and filled with power , power that he had been yearning for !!
Power that he demanded and desperately needed to have his revenge .
He had been enduring it for a long long time , but after so many years he saw Itachi grow bigger and stronger in his eyes .
Not only that , he had been feeling as if he was stuck , no .. he was falling behind .
Behind Naruto , behind Gaara and even Rock lee .
Gritting his teeth , as the cursed mark emerged , his speed , his strength and his power exploaded .
" Die !!! "
Sasuke launched towards gaara at full speed and finally, he overcame the sand defence of Gaara as his fist struck Gaara .
" What !!! .... Gaara watch out !! " Temari shouted as she saw Gaaras absolute defence fail .
....
" How !!? .." Gaara muttered as he quickly stabilized himself and as his insticts flared , he raised his hands in defence to the left .
Baam , once again before his sand could block the attack , sasukes fist connected with him . As Gaara was forced back five meters .
Numb !! And pain !!
" AAH !! "
Gaara screamed as his hands almost broke but at the last moment his sand attacked sasuke forcing him back .
But sasuke , now far stronger and faster , reacted quick and jumped high into the sky and dodged the sand .
" Sand burial !! "
Gaara manipulated his sand to stop and capture Sasuke in his sand but sasuke was too fast .
Gaara was now on the offense and as his defence was down , he didnt want to give sasuke any chance to attack .
But sasuke was fast !! Faster than his sand .
While sasuke was running , his hands were forming seal and finally .
" Fire ball jutsu !! "
As sasuke attack , Gaara was forced to make a sand wall to stop the huge ball of fire that Sasuke spat out .
The fire ball was soo huge and hot , Gaara was forced to redirect the remaing sand towards the wall otgerwise if he was caught in the fire , he knew he wont just be injured but possibly incapacitated .
' I cannot let father down !! '
As Gaara made up his mind , he quickly let the sand that was used as his defence go and reinforce the wall .
Finally after fifteen seconds of enduring the flames , Gaara was able to defend himself and stop the fire ball .
But as most of his sand was used to fight off the fire , it had turned into solid glass like wall and gaara was left defence less .
" NOO !! GAARA WATCH OUT !! "
Temari and Kankuro shouted at the same time , but by the time Gaara turned around .
It was too late .
Sasuke under the guise of fire ball jutsu had been preparing to use his final trump card , The Chidori !!
The fire ball was meant to drain away the sand that always protected Gaara and now that he was wide open .
Sasuke didnt waste the chance , he had created .
Gaara who was left defenceless was struck hard , as Sasukes chidori hand struck his shoulder !! Shartering his bones and piercing deep into his body .
" AAAAAAHHHHH !!! "
" GAAARAA !!!! "
" Shit !!! " Hyate cursed as he was second late but immediately pulled back on sasuke by grabbing his collar .
As a huge brown claw had taken a swing at Sasuke , and if Hayate was a second late , sasuke would have been dead or had his spine shattered !!
Sasuke was also shocked as his eyes were now filled with fear as his heart was heavy !!
A second ago he was filled with power and the feeling of being invincible . But it didnt last long , the moment his chidori penetrated in Gaaras shoulder , he felt it .
The feeling as if something bad had happened , a beast had been woken up as his entire field of view was filled by that huge brown beatial claw that was coming straight for him .
As hyate pulled him back , sasuke saw it , Gaara ...no .. it wasnt Gaara anymore , it was the monster who had attacked him.
' what is that thing !! '
