I heard myself giggle ominously as the grass ninjas gasped in horror.
The three Konahagakure ninja were still sitting in the bush despite what they were viewing.
“Man! His chakra is so powerful, and that sand. Do you smell that odor? It stinks….”
Shino looked over at Kiba, “Odor?”
Kiba continued talking, obviously shaken, “It smells like blood."
“Plus, just look at Honoka! She’s enjoying this! She’s laughing!” Kiba spoke, his voice now raising a little to loud. 
I glanced over at the bush they were hiding in, mentally hinting for them to shut up. After I did this, they appeared to stay quiet. 

“He’s created a wall of sand!” The leader of the grass ninja exclaimed in fear.
“That’s right.” Kankuro said, “It’s a defense and nothing can get through it. He carries all the sand in that gourd that he has on his back. When he is attacked he uses the power of his chakra to harden the sand.”
At this point in Kankuro’s ‘speech’ Gaara began taking down the shield.
“It’s a jutsu only Gaara can do, and somehow it happens automatically, independent of his will, so any attacks against him are doomed to fail.”
The leader seemed to get angered by this fact. “Yeah!?” he yelled, “We will see about that.”
I smirked as I got out of the way, backing up so I stood between Temari and Kankuro.  
“Just face it you guys can’t hope to defeat Gaara.” Kankuro said.
I looked over at Kankuro when another one of the grass ninja gasped, “Give me a break.”
I looked back to the action in front of me as I said, “Talking awfully proud of you little brother aren’t you?” 
I could tell that Kankuro was scowling at me, without looking, while I was watching the fight continue.

The ninja that just spoke ran towards Gaara. Gaara just darkened his look and did the sand coffin hand sign. Gaara kept a hand sign on his left hand as he moved his right hand forewords so it rested horizontally in front of him. 

“Sand Coffin.” He said while doing this motion.
The sand grabbed the ninja’s leg and began to consume him. In a matter of seconds the only part of him not covered in sand was his face so he would be able to breathe, or in this case, grunt in pain. Everybody but our team looked astonished. The umbrellas landed around us; knowing what was coming, I grabbed two and walked back up to Gaara prepared to hand him one.
“Let me go!” The ninja exclaimed.
I looked at him, “Should have thought of that before.” I said while handing Gaara and umbrella.
“All I have to do is cover your big mouth and you’ll be dead.” Gaara said while opening his umbrella, “But that would be too easy for you.”
He began to lit his right arm and the ninja lifted off the ground, struggling against the sand. I opened my umbrella and looked at the show.
Gaara’s eyes darkened yet again when he squeezed his hand together, “Sand Burial.”
The ninja screamed in pain as the sand constricted him, crushing him into nothing; and just as Gaara had promised, it was raining blood.

Once again, everybody but the Temari, Kankuro, and I gasped in fear. I looked up from my umbrella, the grass ninja’s team mates where shaking in fear.
“There wasn’t any pain. I crushed him with more force than necessary, so it was over quickly. The corpse’s bitter crimson tears flow anew with the endless sand, feeding the chaos within me, making me stronger.”
The ninja began begging for their lives and gave us their scroll.
“Not gonna work…” I said under my breath as Gaara dropped his umbrella and enveloped both of the ninja; he didn’t raise them when he did the sand burial this time though, so I placed my umbrella in front of us.
“Oh this is bad! We gotta get out of here! Before he finds and kills us!” I heard Kiba exclaim to Shino and Hinata.

Once the massacre was over, Kankuro walked over to where the grass ninja had rolled their scroll and picked it up and turned towards Gaara, “We got lucky, it’s a heaven scroll. Now all we have to so is head towards the tower.”
“Shut up.” Gaara said to him threateningly.
“Huh?” Kankuro asked. 
It’s not…..It’s still not enough for me!” Gaara said while turning to where the group of leaf ninja where escaping.
I could sense their fear when they heard Gaara’s words.
“Come on Gaara, let’s go.” Kankuro said trying to convince his little brother to stop.
“What are you scared? Coward.” Gaara sneered at Kankuro.
“Look Gaara, I know this test is easy for Honoka and you, but it’s dangerous for Temari and me.” He said, “One set of scrolls is good enough. It’s all we need to pass.”
