Chapter 126
"Naisu~!" Natsuki's friends couldn't help but cheer.
Everyone had seen how formidable Gaara's sand was during Lee's fight. Now, Natsuki had first used Doton (Earth Style) to create an enclosed space, then flooded it with water. Sand and water were a terrible combination—once wet, sand was done for!
Kakashi and Guy exchanged a glance, thinking the same thing: "So this is how you counter him? Brilliant!"
Inside the water, Gaara was not doing well.
Living his whole life in the arid Land of Wind, Gaara barely dared to drink water, let alone be submerged in it. Maybe he didn't even know how to swim.
Luckily, he had chakra. By using chakra, he barely managed to float toward the surface. As for his sand—forget it. It was completely useless in water.
But just as he was about to break the surface, he saw Natsuki rapidly forming hand seals. Then Natsuki thrust both hands, crackling with electricity, into the water.
"Oh no...!"
"—Three!"
"Raiton: Dendō! (Lightning Style: Ground Surge!)"
As Natsuki's electrified hands plunged into the water, powerful currents surged through the entire area. Everyone knew water conducted electricity—how could Gaara possibly escape?
The next second, a scream erupted from under the water.
