Kirito raised his Zanpakuto, but it was caught by Gaara's two monstrous claws. Kirito tried to pull away, but as expected, he couldn't break free from Gaara's iron grip.
"Huh?!"
At this time, Gaara pulled out one of his hands and clamped the Zanpakuto in one hand, while the other hand clawed at Kirito's chest. Judging from the sharp and huge claws, Kirito's heart would be ripped out.
Kirito made a prompt decision and shot Gaara with his left hand.
The sniper's bullet hit the shoulder of the hand that was trying to grab him at close range.
It could be clearly seen that the small hole deeply penetrated through the layers of armor was emitting hot white smoke. After Gaara was shot, the arm immediately stopped moving, which was enough to show that the sniper shot at this distance could still cause substantial damage to Gaara.
However, Kirito soon noticed that Gaara's arm was squirming violently on the hole, and then the bullet that penetrated the armor was squeezed out little by little!
There were traces of blood on the squeezed out bullet, which was enough to prove that the bullet hit Gaara's body. But now, after the half-tailed beast transformation, Gaara's body structure is different from that of a normal human. 80% of his body is Chakra. Even if a bullet entered his body, it can be squeezed out, and the Chakra of a tailed beast can quickly heal the injury of a Jinchuriki.
Holding the Zanpakuto with his right hand, Kirito twisted the Zanpakuto's hand, leaving a deep cut on his palm. He then pulled the Zanpakuto out of his hand.
Pulling out his weapon, Kirito immediately stepped back, but Gaara didn't let him. Gaara's two strong and powerful arms stretched out, and his two sharp claws grabbed two thick tree trunks. His body moved back, and his two arms twisted the tree trunks back at a 45-degree angle. Just as the tree trunks were about to be broken and broken by brute force, his hands suddenly loosened. Gaara's huge body was immediately rebounded by the two trees. Overall, he looked like a huge slingshot.
The two tree trunks were the branches, the arms were the bowstring, and his body was the cannonball!
The attack this time was quite fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, the huge rock cannonball arrived in front of him. Kirito subconsciously raised his left hand and aimed at Gaara's head. Then, with this bullet, he made Gaara pause for a moment, and he had enough time to completely avoid such a fierce attack.
Kirito's pupils shrank when he heard the sound of a trigger being pulled. He knew that something was wrong. The M700 only had 10 bullets in its magazine, and he had used all his remaining bullets on this monster during the battle with Kaze Yamamoto, Aburame Takumi, and Orochimaru's doppelganger. Kirito had used up all his remaining bullets on this monster, and he had used them all!
Of course, there were spare magazines, but in this situation, Kirito didn't think that Gaara would give him time to reload!
"Bang!"
With a crisp explosion, Kirito barely dodged Gaara's attack. However, the sniper rifle in his left hand was scratched by Gaara's fierce claw because he couldn't retrieve it in time.
However, the result of being scratched by the giant claw completely condensed from the tailed beast's Chakra was that the M700 was completely torn apart!
Seeing the destructive damage to the gun body, it was obvious that this M700 light sniper rifle would disappear from Kirito's arsenal forever.
The only weapon in Kirito's hand that could cause damage to the monster in front of him was ruthlessly destroyed. Kirito's face also became pale.
Holding the Zanpakuto with both hands, he flashed behind Gaara and used both hands at the same time. The strength of the Zanpakuto suddenly doubled, and he launched a powerful blow at Gaara's tail!
"Ow ow ow!"
Under Kirito's angry blow, the thick tail was also cut off by Kirito.
Gaara, who was screaming in pain, immediately turned around and slammed his claw with terrifying power on Kirito's body!
"Hmph ~" The huge claw, which was enough to grab Kirito's shoulders, completely endured Gaara's fierce blow. Kirito also snorted and flew backward. The claw that grabbed Kirito's shoulders stretched forward and finally slammed Kirito's back heavily onto a big tree trunk!
"Guh ~" Enduring such a powerful blow, if it weren't for the two points of endurance that greatly enhanced Kirito's physical strength, he would have been directly clawed into minced meat.
However, the current situation didn't seem to be any better.
At this time, Kirito's body was abruptly pressed against a big tree trunk by the giant claw, unable to move.
Kirito's throat tasted sweet, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. His face also became pale. He tried to struggle for a while but found that with his own strength, he couldn't break free from the terrifying giant claw made of tailed beast Chakra.
"Sure enough, you lack the ability to fight head-on."
Kirito couldn't help but smile bitterly. If it was one-on-one, he could rely on his speed advantage, his elusive illusion, and his sniper rifle to deliver a fatal blow. So what if he was a Jinchuriki?
So what if he was a tailed beast?
Could he maintain this state all the time?
As long as he caught the slightest flaw, he could launch this fatal sniper.
No matter how powerful the enemy was, he would still kneel.
However, sometimes, Kirito couldn't afford not to face the enemy head-on.
Wasn't that the case now?
Behind him, there were people who needed to be protected, so he couldn't retreat.
"Roar!"
With an angry roar, Gaara stomped his foot on the ground, and then his huge body jumped high into the air. He descended from the sky, ready to give Kirito, who was immobilized, a fatal blow with his overwhelming power!
"Hinata!
What are you doing! "Kiba and Shino suddenly exclaimed.
At this time, Hinata faced the enemy, and she didn't hesitate to face it head-on!
"See, if I can't do it, people will be worried."
With his bare hands, he tore apart the huge claw that was pressed against his chest. He raised his head and stared fixedly at the huge black shadow that was constantly enlarging in his eyes.
"The power of a head-on attack …" Kirito muttered to himself.
Facing the overwhelming power of Mount Tai, Kirito raised his sword with one hand to meet the attack.
At this moment, a white aura covered the whole sword.
