46: [The Eight Gates!]

[The Eight Gates!]

I placed Tenten next to Guy-san and started to further heal her injuries…1

'Broken ribs and minor fractures... Along with a concussion from that final bash...'

'Mystical Palm Technique'

I blocked everything off and concentrated on healing her Injuries…

'...Looks like Shino won...'

I could hear Naruto's loud screaming about the match and Shino came back on the railings, not a minute after… I shared a nod and a glace with Shino before continuing Tenten's treatment…

"Tobi-kun, the medic-nin are here they can handle the rest of the treatment you still need to fight after this..." That was Guy-san indicating to me that what I had already done was enough and I don't need to worry about it anymore… I nod and turn towards the medic-nin on duty…

"Hey Nakama-san, Shiro-san, I have already healed most of the damage just one of her ribs still needs some healing..." I greet the two medics…

"Thank you for holding the fort Tobi-kun, you can leave the rest to us..."

'So who's fighting now...Huh! Ino-chan vs Baka?'

I turn my attention back to the arena and notice that a number of Naruto were running around trying to corner Ino-chan who has apparently learned how to use senbons in the last few months…

'And she is pretty accurate with them too… geez will you stop spamming clones Naruto...'

Ino was trying her best to stop this onslaught of orange barrage but the amount of Naruto clones were just too many and when I tried to use my newly awakened, Yamanaka sensory technique they all look the same…

'Damn he really has too much chakra to spare… give him an easy to use destructive jutsu and he will wreak havoc on any battlefield…. His chakra control has also improved a lot too… Ino-chan, on the other hand, has apparently memorized the pressure points present in the human body and she has become quite accurate at using senbons… hmm, I guess she has been training hard these last few months because her speed while slower than Naruto is still faster than most genin's...'

The battle didn't last long before one of the million Naruto's managed to land a punch, and after a barrage of punches, Ino-chan landed unconscious on the arena floor… Asuma-Sensei picked her up and took her to the medic-nin on duty who proceeded to start healing her Injuries…

'Should I help… nevermind… this one's more interesting...'

[GAARA VS ROCK LEE]

'Temari's treatment of Tenten has already made the sand team everyone's enemy, on the other hand, that Gaara guy is interesting he has a lot of chakra with some weird red chakra polluting his whole network… another interesting thing about the guy is that he has something in his gourd which is filled with chakra and there is like a layer of chakra covering his whole body...'

As soon as Gaara saw his name sand started revolving around him and he used an elemental shunshin to arrive at the arena… whereas Lee jumped from the railing to land in front of him…

'...'

'Hmm… lee's fast but this way he can't break through that defense...' Lee continued to try several times but his sand shield blocked every one of his punches and kicks… 'You need to get these weights off otherwise I don't see you winning this one...'

'I have a bad feeling about this one...maybe I should take some precautionary measures, I don't want what happened to Tenten happen to Gaara...'

I open my inventory and slowly started releasing the Iron sand which I had been collecting for years disperse into the atmosphere… I slowly let it break into small widespread clouds before letting it mixup with Gaara's sand…

'At least I will be able to stop him if something happens...'

It took a while, I continued adding Iron sand into the mixture but I was getting more and more confused as to why he is not removing his weights when Gai-san's words shed some light on the topic… 'And they are off, there you go now let's see how you will do...Hmm his DEX is at 145 so almost the same as mine, let's see if you can beat him with just taijutsu, I reckon he won't be able to react to such speed so Lee will probably win...'

'...'

Lee started to run circles around Gaara finally landing a hit...

'So that layer of chakra covering him was sand...doesn't it feel weird though...being covered by sand… That is still a solid armor though. Wonder how much beating can he take… should I try and covering myself with Iron sand like that...Nah! My fighting style is based on speed, not defense...'

'...'

'So that's where Sasuke copied the taijutsu move… Initial Lotus… what a scary technique… I can escape the technique probably with the help of wind release but I don't know how it would work out...oh wait he managed to escape...'

'...call the fight Guy-san, you don't want him to get hurt now...what are the Eight gates…?'

As Gai-san and Kakashi-san explained what the inner gates are, Lee's skin turned a little bit red and he started to emit a lot of chakra… What proceeded after that could only be explained as an utter thrashing…

'Damn! I don't think I would have been able to win against lee… at least not without using Iron sand...what he's still okay...'

The sand around Gaara was still moving as he gestured for it to capture Lee… Lee was tired from overusing the Eight inner gates but he still tried to dodge… His arm and legs got caught in the sand and Gaara clenched his hand while saying, "Sand Coffin!"

'I don't like where this is going...'

I concentrated and manipulated the Iron sand particles mixed in with his sand to vibrate and work against the sand gripping Lee and this broke the grip it had on Lee's leg and hand…

Suddenly free from the grip Lee stumbled back… there was a look of shock on Gaara's face and in the meantime, Guy-san managed to intervene and stop the fight…

'Well, that was harder than I thought...'
