Chapter 95: The War Breaks Out!

What came out of the sand was an ugly creature. Half of Gaara's body still looked human, but the rest had become deformed beyond recognition.

His right arm was massive and shaped like a claw, while the right side of his face had a black eye and an animal ear.

"Is that what your Bijuu looks like?" Naruto asked.

There was a large appendage moving behind Gaara. It almost resembled a tail, albeit a very deformed one.

"It's the One-Tail then? ...Or you have yet to unleash all its power," Naruto concluded.

"D…DIE!" Gaara roared at him.

People in the audience began to panic.

"Sensei?! What is that thing?!" Sakura pointed at the arena.

The other genin present were also wondering the same.

"That is the Jinchuriki of the Sand Village… and it appears that he is losing control," Kakashi said.

Sakura gasped.

"That thing… no…" She realized now. Gaara was like her teammate and had a demon sealed inside. But Naruto had never looked like that… not even when he fought Orochimaru in the forest.

"A Jinchuriki…" Sasuke stared at the scene with interest. He wanted nothing more than to jump down there and fight Gaara right now. He wanted to see how he could compare to that monster… and how close he was to Naruto right now.

"Kakashi…" Gai glanced at his friend, wondering what they should do now.

"I know…" Kakashi nodded. He was well aware of the dangerous situation they were in. If that Bijuu breaks out of the seal, they may have a similar situation to the one fifteen years back.

The Jonin glanced towards the Hokage's private stage. It was then that he saw something alarming.

The Kazekage had stood up and thrown a smoke bomb.

"The Hokage is under att—!" Before Kakashi could finish, countless feathers began to fall from the sky.

Most people in the audience began to fall asleep.

"Kai!" Kakashi uncovered his Sharingan and canceled the attack. "It's a genjutsu!"

"We are under attack!" Gai realized that Gaara's transformation was not an isolated incident. The Sand had been planning an attack on their village from the beginning.

The two Jonin hurried to shake the genjutsu effects off their students before they completely fell under.

"W-what happened?..." Sasuke was feeling very drowsy when he saw his Sensei doing something to remove the effects.

"A genjutsu?" the boy concluded.

"What is happening?!" Sakura looked around at all the chaos occurring around them.

Masked ninjas had appeared out of nowhere and were now fighting against the Konoha elite ninjas who were able to brush aside the effects of the genjutsu.

"Stay alert and protect yourselves!" Kakashi told them before jumping away to help the other Jonin.

"Gai Sensei! What do we do?" TenTen asked.

"Protect the members of the audience and try to wake up everyone you can." Gai glanced at the Hokage's stage.

Their fight seemed to have moved to the rooftops, and a massive seal was being activated.

"Looks like their primary target was the Hokage… they are trying to isolate him." Asuma appeared next to them.

"Wait! What about Naruto?!" Sakura pointed at the arena.

Naruto's fight had not stopped for a second and he just had to avoid another attack from that large arm.

Gaara's movements weren't too fast, but the nature of the sand element made it very difficult to predict any sort of pattern.

The arm could take any shape or spawn several spears of sand every time it moved while Gaara remained at a safe distance, making it very annoying to deal with.

"She is right, we can't let that continue. If the Bijuu gets completely free… thousands would die," Asuma said.

"We need an expert in seals, but the Hokage is too busy at the moment, and I'm not sure if Kakashi would be enough," Gai said.

"Where the hell did Jiraiya go? He was here yesterday, I'm sure of that…" Asuma muttered.

Right before Gaara attacked again, Kankuro and Temari jumped next to him.

"Gaara, wait!" Temari shouted.

"We have new orders, we need to retreat to the outer wall." Kankuro kept a good distance away from his brother.

"Shut up!" Gaara turned to them. "Go away!"

Temari trembled but did not move from her spot.

"Gaara… please." She hoped that his will had not deteriorated past the breaking point, because then… there would be no stopping him. And it was too late to carry him away.

"I have some sleeping drugs with me." Kankuro moved his puppet a bit closer.

"No, wait!" Temari knew this was a bad idea.

Gaara noticed the movement. "You want to die too?!... fine!" He smashed his massive arm on the ground, and hundreds of sand spikes came out of it, piercing Kankuro's puppet and forcing him to move away.

Temari used her fan to slow down the attack, but this did not have much effect.

Gaara was too enraged to be stopped now.

His transformation progressed even further, and it began to affect the other side of his body.

"Ahhh!" His movements now became faster and more powerful, and his two siblings had no choice but to run away before they were killed.

"We have to retreat, Kankuro!" Temari screamed.

The other boy did not need to hear that twice. He picked up his broken puppet and jumped away from the arena.

"Sasuke, TenTen, Sakura. Go after those two!" Gai ordered.

"What?!" Sakura said.

"Yes, Sensei!" TenTen said.

"No! I want to go there!" Sasuke glanced at the arena. Gaara and Naruto were the only ones he wanted to fight.

"Sasuke… a Jonin gave you a direct order. If you consider yourself a ninja from this village, you will obey," Asuma said with a stern tone. He had never liked the Uchiha, and he had no patience for his attitude problems.

"You are not my sensei, I don't have t—"

"But I am." Kakashi appeared behind him.

"Go do what they told you. And hurry." The other genin were already getting away.

"You have your mission… go," Gai said again.

Despite complaining, Sasuke had no choice but to obey for now. He moved away, along with the other two genin, and went after Temari and Kankuro before they could escape.

"The audience is safe, we have stopped the few masked ninjas who were pretending to be ANBU. Now all that's left is…" Kakashi glanced at the arena.

Gaara was completely out of control, attacking like a madman and roaring like a wild beast.

"Mmm… that's going to be tricky." He wasn't sure if his sealing skills would be enough to put that demon back in control.

"In any case, we need to move the Jinchuriki away from here," Asuma said.

"Wait… is that?" Kakashi saw Naruto making some familiar moves. "The summoning jutsu?"

A massive cloud of smoke appeared beneath Naruto.
