Chapter 309: The Chaotic Sand Village
The gorilla, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, appeared in the very center of the village. Its fifty-meter-tall figure stood between heaven and earth. Coupled with the volcano spewing lava, numerous rooms and buildings were set ablaze. The Sand Village ninjas were all stunned.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to be doing? Questions like these surfaced in everyone's mind.
From Guren and Baki's argument to the volcanic eruption, and finally to the gorilla jumping out of the volcano, everything happened too quickly, too suddenly, leaving no time to react.
The Four-Tails paid no attention to the dazed Sand Village ninjas. Its mind was filled with rage. In its perfect jinchuriki state, the Tailed Beast's emotions easily infected the jinchuriki.
The last bit of reason Rōshi had was drowned by the Tailed Beast's fury. The jinchuriki handed his body over to the Tailed Beast, and they became one. The gorilla with fiery red fur let out a long howl at the sky, its voice full of unyieldingness and ferocity. Accompanied by the rising volcano from the Moving Earth Core, the fifty-meter-tall gorilla was like a primordial beast stepping out of a nightmare.
It didn't distinguish between friend or foe; at this moment, there were no allies. It pounded its chest with both fists, the "thump-thump" sound like the beating of a war drum. Then, it tilted its head back and spewed a rain of fire across the sky. A dense canopy of fire covered more than half of the Sand Village. If you looked closely, what was falling was not rain at all, but scorching red-hot lava.
Guren, who had long known about Konoha's plan, was still arguing with Baki, managing to stall for more than ten seconds.
By the time Baki realized that his argument with the Sound Village was meaningless and that he had to stop the Four-Tails first, it was too late.
Countless globs of lava rained down from the sky. Similar to Konoha's open-air arena, the Sand Village had cleared out a square slate of rock as the competition ground, with guests seated in rock caves to watch.
Facing the rain of fire from the sky, the guests screamed their lungs out, hoping that if their voices were loud enough, the Sand Village ninjas would save them first.
The truth was, the Sand Village could even abandon Pakura. Rasa could have his own brother-in-law kill his son. Sasori turned his only friend into a human puppet. It could be said that the humanity of the Sand Village was the thinnest among the five great hidden villages.
They couldn't even fend for themselves, so how could they have time to care about the lives of the guests?
"Ninja Art: Mind Body Disturbance Dance Technique!" Ino first used her sensory ability to lock onto dozens of targets, then activated her cheap father's ninjutsu, manipulating ninjas from various villages to start a chaotic battle.
Zhang San hit Li Si, and Li Si hit Wang Wu.
Sound, Waterfall, Sand—basically all the ninjas present today were within her control.
Some had truly lost control, while others were just pretending…
Genma Shiranui shouted, "What's going on? My body is out of control!"
While shouting, he spat a senbon at the throat of his old rival, Baki.
"I can't control myself!" He stabbed a kunai toward Baki's left eye.
"Quick, tie me up! We must not damage the relationship between our two great hidden villages, quickly!" He then kicked towards Baki's groin.
"Don't be impulsive, this must be the enemy's conspiracy!" His feet kicked out in a continuous chain. Baki, with a head full of question marks, could only defend and not attack, retreating again and again, beaten into a pathetic state.
Their strengths were similar. Now, one was ruthlessly attacking, while the other was full of apprehension and dared not retaliate. Baki was beaten into a precarious situation.
Gaara was much more naive than he would be three years later when facing Deidara. He severely lacked experience in handling affairs and his mind wasn't calm enough. He stood there stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do in this situation.
Save people? Who to save?
Should he save the villagers who called him a "monster," or the high-ranking officials who tried to turn him back into a killing tool? Or should he save the guests who came to watch the exam?
The guests were fighting among themselves; the Sound and Waterfall ninjas were in a brawl, and he didn't know who to help.
He wanted to consult his teacher Baki, but Baki was unusually busy. Guren was also shouting that she was being controlled and was teaming up with Genma Shiranui to beat him up…
After Ino finished casting the Mind Body Disturbance Dance Technique, she hid in the shadows and observed. She felt it still wasn't chaotic enough.
She and Tsunade then began a performance of their "Dark Music Concert."
Without Shizune, without Tonton, the performance was a bit lacking, but it didn't matter. She wasn't aiming to kill enemies, only for the effect.
Tsunade played the flute while looking at the sheet music.
Ino formed a hand seal with her left hand to fuse and compress the sound, while her right hand waved the Shinigami's prayer beads.
The two sounds mixed together, then were compressed by chakra into a unique sound wave.
Normal people couldn't hear these sounds; their brains automatically filtered them out. Only ninjas with some Yin Release energy could hear them.
Those who could use genjutsu and those with naturally high spiritual energy all became victims.
The yin-yang balance in their bodies was broken. A deficiency of yin led to a loss of yang. One by one, their faces flushed, and they broke out in a cold sweat. The internal heat had not yet been harmonized when the external high heat from the Four-Tails and the volcanic eruption stimulated them…
Many ninjas began to cough up blood violently. Some even had bloodshot eyes and saw numerous illusions, then, like wild beasts, they opened their mouths and bit down on the exposed skin of their comrades.
Ninjas whose internal balance had been barely maintained were bitten. They were immediately affected by the sound waves and also joined the biting team.
One bit two, two bit four, four bit eight. The number of "madmen" grew.
"Is this how I taught medical theory?" Tsunade subconsciously activated her blame-shifting skill.
Ino absolutely did not accept the blame. "That's right! This is the theory of yin deficiency and yang loss you were talking about a while ago, Teacher. If you hadn't mentioned it, how would I have known about this stuff?"
Watching a large group of ninjas crazily biting people everywhere, Tsunade subconsciously scratched her head. The theory was indeed that theory, but, dear girl, how did such a good theory turn into this monstrous state in your hands? Your direction of practical application is a bit problematic!
"Teacher, you're overthinking it. After today, these people will recover after a couple of days' rest. At most, they'll suffer from impotence and imbalance, there won't be any sequelae. Besides, these are all enemies. Let's play for another five minutes."
"Alright, alright."
Temari rushed out from the crowd, swinging her three-star fan. With both arms, she mustered all her strength, trying to blow the Four-Tails out of the village.
But unfortunately, the fifty-meter-tall gorilla was a mountain of flesh. As the Four-Tails who used Lava Release, it had also swallowed a lot of lava, so its body was unusually heavy. Temari could blow Madara Uchiha away because the King of Dance was light. Now, to blow the Four-Tails away with one fan, she didn't have that kind of power.
Several hurricanes hit the Four-Tails, only causing its fiery red fur to ripple. The beast stood its ground, not moving at all.
"Dodge!" Kankuro sacrificed his puppet, saving his older sister from the Four-Tails' heavy fist at the last possible moment.
