Chapter 95: The Power of the Byakugan

Gaara looked at Kimimaro, who was wearing a black eye patch, the killing intent in his eyes growing stronger.

"I'll kill you!"

The sand started to stir again.

Gaara's advantage was that most of his ninjutsu didn't require hand seals.

The sand moved at his will, both for offense and defense.

Kimimaro shook his head slightly.

This jinchuriki was truly terrifying when he went berserk.

He joined his right index and middle fingers, forming a sword finger, and pointed it directly at Gaara's forehead.

It was a speed that the absolute defense couldn't react to.

"Silence!"

The sword finger touched Gaara's forehead, and a cool power entered his mind from the fingertip.

The Silence card could bring the rampaging Jugo back to his senses, and it could also calm Gaara down.

The bloodlust instantly subsided.

The bloodshot veins in Gaara's emerald eyes also disappeared.

He was suppressed!

Apart from facing the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, this was the first time Gaara had been completely suppressed.

And it was such a comfortable suppression.

"Have a good sleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gaara felt a surge of drowsiness that he couldn't resist.

The next moment, he fell asleep.

Under the black eye patch, the power of the Byakugan activated.

Kimimaro arrived in a pitch-black space.

This was Shukaku's sealed space.

"I didn't expect to actually be able to enter. It seems the Byakugan's fusion progress is quite fast."

Kimimaro tried it out a bit and unexpectedly entered this sealed space through the power of the Byakugan.

In the dark space, eyes resembling golden coins suddenly appeared.

"A body from the Kaguya clan, eyes from the Hyuga clan, human, who are you?"

As an ancient tailed beast that existed since the beginning of ninja civilization, Shukaku's knowledge was naturally beyond that of ordinary people.

When Kimimaro entered this sealed space, it sensed his uniqueness.

And that strange power, it was an unknown and bizarre technique.

"Just a traveler."

"A traveler?"

Shukaku was taken aback, vaguely recalling the wandering monk from a thousand years ago.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity surged.

"Shukaku, today is just a greeting, we will meet again."

After confirming his ocular power, Kimimaro didn't plan to stay long and left directly.

"Wait!"

Shukaku still wanted to say something, but Kimimaro didn't give it the chance.

The ocular power dissipated, and his figure disappeared.

"Damn it! What do you think this place is? Coming and going as you please!"

Shukaku was angry, but then felt powerless.

If Kimimaro wanted to leave, there was indeed nothing it could do.

"Damn seal! One day, I will break free from it!"

Shukaku was unwilling, and Kimimaro's consciousness returned to his body.

"The Byakugan is truly amazing. After fusing with the Shikotsumyaku in my body, the Byakugan's power started to increase rapidly. In seven days, these Byakugan will probably give me a surprise."

Kimimaro was somewhat expectant, then looked at Gaara, who was already sound asleep.

Under the effect of the Silence card, this One-Tailed jinchuriki, who had never had a good night's sleep, was sleeping very deeply.

"He's also a pitiful person."

Kimimaro dispelled the Tri-Beam's light beams, lifted Gaara with one hand, and with a flash, sent him back to his room.

The whole process was silent, even Temari and Kankuro in the same room didn't notice.

In the garden.

Moonlight Hayate, who heard the commotion, arrived late.

"Where are they?"

Looking at the garden with only a small crater left, Moonlight Hayate looked puzzled.

It had been less than a minute since he heard the noise and rushed over.

Had both sides of the fight already left?

Looking at the sand grains around, Moonlight Hayate pondered.

"Was it that Genin from the Sand? He's truly a restless guy. But it seems there were no casualties."

Seeing that nothing major had happened, Moonlight Hayate briefly investigated and then left.

He didn't have the authority to interfere too much with ninja from other villages.

As long as they didn't cause trouble here, it was fine.

Watching Moonlight Hayate leave, Kimimaro on the tower smiled slightly.

"Tonight's moonlight can only be enjoyed by me alone."

The bloodline disease that had troubled Kimimaro for many years had made significant progress today, and he was in a good mood, so he wanted to appreciate the moon.

The cold moonlight reminded him of the last time he looked at the moon like this with Ton Ton.

He wondered how those two people and one pig were doing now.

"I'm afraid those days will never come again."

Kimimaro sighed slightly and pulled down his black eye patch.

The next morning, Temari and Kankuro looked at the sleeping Gaara in shock.

"Temari, Gaara slept last night?"

"It... seems so."

"How could he fall asleep? Would the Shukaku inside him let him sleep peacefully? Could it be that he has already been..."

Kankuro's expression was extremely complex, filled with both fear and worry.

Temari felt the same.

Although they were both afraid of Gaara, in the end, he was their younger brother.

They also had sibling affection for him.

It was just that this affection was usually suppressed by fear.

Just as the two didn't know what to do, Gaara suddenly opened his eyes.

"Kimimaro!"

This name came out of his mouth. What happened last night made him unsure if it was real or a dream.

But he seemed to have had a good sleep.

Gaara touched his forehead, the cool sensation still faintly lingered.

It was real.

Who was that guy named Kimimaro?

He actually had the ability to let him sleep well?

And after he fainted last night, did the other person bring him back?

For a moment, Gaara was filled with curiosity about Kimimaro.

"Gaara, are you okay?"

Temari carefully expressed her concern for Gaara.

Gaara turned to look at Temari, his eyes no longer filled with the usual exaggerated violence.

"I'm fine."

Gaara got up, ignored the two, and left with his gourd on his back.

Seeing that Gaara was okay, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Temari, don't you think Gaara seems a bit different from usual?"

"Yeah. He's not the same. Usually, his eyes are scary, but today they seem okay."

"Didn't he just call out Kimimaro when he woke up? That Kimimaro from the Sound?"

"Seems like it."

"What happened? Did they meet last night?"

"It's possible. Didn't the Sound team also arrive at the tower last night when it got dark?"

"That Kimimaro wasn't killed by Gaara, was he?"

Kankuro suddenly became worried about Kimimaro.

If Gaara killed someone here, it would likely affect the Konoha Crush plan.

But if he really did kill someone, it wouldn't be so quiet now.

"I don't think so..."

Temari wasn't sure either.

"Let's follow him and see what he's going to do."

The two looked at each other, both a little afraid of Gaara.

After thinking for a moment, they followed him.
