The Crystal Serpent [Naruto X Oc] |Book 1

Chapter 58: Sasuke's new found Speed

"Here we go, the match everyone has been waiting for," Kaito commented.

Kei nodded as she watched the sand form from within the gourd on Gaara's back.

"Uh!" Sasuke gasped as he quickly jumped back and toward the wall.

'So this is the sand Kakashi talked about.' Sasuke thought with a slight smirk on his face.

Gaara then let out a gasping sound, and he brought a hand up to his face. He then started groaning in pain as he started talking."Please, I beg you, don't get so mad at me..."

"What is the matter with him?" Akira questioned.

"Hm," Kei hummed in thought as Gaara lifted his head as continued talking.

"Mother," Gaara said as he lifted his head with a crazy expression on his face.

'What in the world is he talking about?' Sauske thought in confusion with his eyes widened.

"Early, early--- I know I made you taste such awful blood," Gaara continues as more and more say was released from his gourd."I'm so sorry. But this time, I'm sure it will  taste perfect." 

Sasuke continued to stare at Gaara in silence.

"He is having some strange conversation with himself. It is not the first time, but the first he sounded insane when doing it," Kei commented, remembering when he used to talk about emotional pain to himself.

"This guy really used to be your best friend?" Kaito asked.

"I know he doesn't seem like the type of person I would befriend, but he was different in the past. He changed drastically," She said with a sigh.

Gaara then groaned, squeezing his eyes shut, and fell to the ground with his body shaking. He then lowers his body in a huch position breathing heavily.

"It seems he settled down," Akira said.

"Come on," Gaara said.

"Yeah, he did, by the way; where Naruto a Shikamaru, they should have made it back here while I was in the bathroom," Kei said, looking around and noticing the two hadn't returned yet.

"They show up eventually," Kaito stated."

"Right," Kei said, her attention back on the arena.

The sand on the ground started swirling around on both sides of Gaara.

"Here goes," Sasuke said, reaching into his holster and throwing two shurikens toward Gaara.

A sand clone of Gaara quickly caught the shurikens. While the real Gaara stood with his arms crossed. Sasuke then started to run toward Gaara. However, the clone sent and flew toward him, causing him to jump into the air.

The exact clone then threw the shuriken at Sasuke, which he deflected using his kunai. He then kicked the clone, destroying its arms of it. Sasuke placed his hands on the ground and immediately turned around, smacking his arm into the neck of the same clone.

Sasuke grunted as the same tightened around his arm, then used his other arm to punch it in the face freeing himself as it fell apart. The next moment Sasuke runs forward and tries to beat Gaara, but the sand immediately gets in the way.

Sasuke then smirks as he suddenly vanishes out of sight at incredible speed.

He is eyes widened at the sudden speed of Sasuke as he appeared tight behind Gaara.

"His speed improved over the month of training," Kaito commented.

"Yes, but that is not enough. You saw what happened to the Lee kid," Akira stated.
