The moment the Eight Trigrams Palm struck, the Sand Shield rose, deflecting the attack for Gaara.

But at the same time, Neji also threw a punch.

"Hmph! Even if you can break the Sand Shield, you definitely can't break the Sand Armor. Gaara is going to win this match." Kankuro laughed.

“Yes, even the shattered Sand Armor couldn’t be broken by him,” Temari said.

Everyone was silent. What they said was true; Neji had already tried it a month ago.

But the next moment, their expressions changed. With a loud bang, Gaara's Sand Armor collapsed when it came into contact with Neji's fist, and Gaara coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"how can that be?!"

"The Sand Armor has actually collapsed!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru remained calm about this; they had already concluded that Neji was connected to Tsunade and felt that everything was perfectly normal.

However, the others were not calm. Gaara's Sand Armor was broken, and he coughed up blood. This was a historic moment.

"Neji, you are indeed very strong, but I will not give up easily. I will definitely surpass you." Lee cried excitedly, muttering to himself.

"Lee!" Might Guy looked at Lee with excitement, tears streaming down his face. Then, he raised his hand and shouted, "Neji, burn with youthful passion!"

"Neji-nii, do your best!"

"Give him a lesson."

The young warriors shouted with great joy, and their admiration for Neji only intensified.

"Damn it, the gap is so big?!" Sasuke was unwilling to accept it, recalling his experience of being crushed by Gaara.

Just then, a large amount of sand pushed Gaara up. Gaara looked down, and a faint but terrifying aura emanated from him.

"I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

"Hey, Kankuro, is this... Gaara... unable to suppress it?" Temari asked anxiously.

"No, I don't know." Kankuro glanced at Maki instinctively.

"It's alright, it's still under control," Maki said in a deep voice, though he himself was a little nervous.

However, Gaara was able to suppress Rock Lee even when he was being beaten up before, so he should be able to do it now as well.

However, this time there was bleeding, and he felt a pang of anxiety, but...

He glanced at Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Kazekage.

Well, Fengying didn't say anything.

With this in mind, he chose to continue watching.

"The Hand of Sand".

Gaara waved his hands, and two enormous sand palms instantly formed, reaching out to grab Neji from the left and right.

Neji, however, remained calm and composed, a cold smile playing on his lips, and actually struck out with his own arm.

Chapter 41 The Konoha Crush Plan Begins

Fight these sands with your bare hands?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, everyone started shouting.

"Hey! Neji, run! What are you doing?"

"Neji, don't be impulsive."

"Neji-nii-nii!" Hinata and Hanabi shouted.

However, Neji completely ignored everyone and the next moment, he collided with the two sand palms, resulting in a loud bang.

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, unable to bear the bloody scene. However, when they opened their eyes, what they saw shocked them to their core.

The quicksand scattered, shattered by Neji's punch, the powerful impact even stripping Gaara of his sand armor.

Everyone's brains were completely frozen, utterly baffled as to how Neji had managed it.

This destructive power is even stronger than the destructive power of Xiao Li after opening the five gates.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

At that moment, Gaara suddenly screamed like a madman, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his whole being turning terrifyingly gloomy.

"I'm going to kill you."

"Samobo!"

Gaara's expression gradually contorted, and a massive amount of chakra scattered outwards. A large amount of sand surrounded him, forming a circular protective shield with sharp spikes standing on it.

"Sandstorms raged."

Instantly, a dense barrage of sand bullets shot out from the circular shield.

"Hmph! They really don't learn their lesson." Neji sneered.

"Bagua Palm Reverses Heaven".

Just as these sand projectiles were about to hit Neji, a large amount of chakra flowed out from Neji's chakra points, spinning continuously and deflecting all of Gaara's sand projectiles to the ground.

"Is that all the strength you have? All you can do is hide inside?" Neji said disdainfully.

"Take this! Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Neji quickly formed hand seals, and a straight stream of flame from his mouth slammed into Gaara's protective shield.

boom!

The spikes on the shield shattered with a bang from the flames, but the shield itself showed no signs of damage.

"Hmph! You think you can hide inside and I won't be able to do anything?"

Neji sneered and immediately rushed towards Gaara at top speed, gathering chakra in his palm and converging it into a single point.

"Cherry blossom rush!"

"The Sand Armor's defense is even stronger than the Sand Armor, it definitely won't..." Before Temari could finish speaking, reality slapped her hard in the face.

Bang! Boom!

Neji pierced through the protective shield and struck Gaara heavily.

The next moment, Gaara was sent flying to the other side by the powerful impact.

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms".

Just then, Neji grabbed Gaara's sleeve, a slight smile playing on his lips, and his hand moved like a butterfly, striking Gaara repeatedly.

Instantly, all of Gaara's chakra points were sealed.

"Great, that guy's chakra points have been sealed."

"That guy with the bruises on his face, your team's sand-playing guy is done for, he's about to lose." Naruto said with a big smile.

However, Kankuro and Temari ignored him and instead looked at Gaara with horror.

"Oh no," Kankuro muttered.

"It's no use, I can't hold it in any longer, that thing is about to come out..."

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.

“You lost!” Neji said.

Just as he was about to continue his attack, Gaara's chakra suddenly began to flow again, but Gaara was drowsy and convulsing.

His chakra levels fluctuated, and he knelt on the ground, seemingly doing nothing.

Neji's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Orochimaru almost imperceptibly before retreating at lightning speed.

They're coming; we must put Gaara outside the village.

Orochimaru felt uneasy after Neji glanced at him, but the die was cast and he had no choice but to act.

Shukaku's power has gradually recovered, and now is the best time for him to launch a surprise attack.

At the same time, a member of the secret service, disguised in the crowd, suddenly formed a hand seal.

"The art of Nirvana Abode".

Suddenly, a large number of feathers fell from the sky, and everyone began to doze off. Some people even started to cause trouble, and the scene became quite chaotic.

"Kazekage, you!" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kazekage, who was holding him hostage, with great surprise.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Orochimaru, carrying Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaped onto the rooftop.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Temari and Kankuro immediately took Gaara away, while Maki confronted Genma Shiranui.

"Gaara!" Sasuke exclaimed as he saw this and immediately gave chase, with Naruto close behind.

Ignoring the Third Hokage who had been kidnapped by Orochimaru, Neji immediately rushed to the stands and dispelled the genjutsu for Hinata and the others.

"Neji-nii, what's wrong with us? We feel a little dizzy," Hinata and Hanabi asked, rubbing their eyes.

"Konoha has been attacked by the Sound Ninja and the Sand Ninja. You were just caught in a genjutsu, and the Third Hokage is now trapped," Neji said briefly.

At that moment, Might Guy, Kakashi, and the others quickly broke the genjutsu and came to Neji's side.

Might Guy and his group, as expected of Jonin, managed to analyze the situation despite still being somewhat confused.

The third generation's strength is unfathomable, and there won't be any immediate danger. Dealing with these invaders is the priority.

"Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto..." Might Guy hesitated, feeling that they couldn't stop Gaara.

However, Kakashi had great confidence in them: "No problem."

Kakashi was well aware of their progress. Sasuke, needless to say, had mastered his own Chidori, and Naruto had trained under Jiraiya, making him quite formidable.

"The situation is urgent. Everyone, follow us to wipe out the enemy," Kakashi said.

Then, Kakashi walked up to Shikamaru and nudged him: "Hey, Shikamaru, stop pretending to be asleep and get up to carry out the mission."

"Hey, just let me play dead then, fighting back and forth is too much trouble."

Then, Shikamaru was dragged away by Sarutobi Asuma. He was quite helpless to have such a lazy subordinate.
