Chapter 11
DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN NARUTO EVERYTHING BELONGS TO ITS ORIGINAL CREATOR.
The scene outside the palace was hectic, many of the villagers were running about mostly mother's trying to find their young children and husbands running to find their families. Gaara was right in the center of the action, the large creature had an exoskeleton that repelled most of Gaara's attacks, and because of how huge this monster is Gaara knew it was going to take a large amount of chakra and more time for planning.
A large army of Sand shinobi teamed to fight the large white reptilian that was now crashing it's huge body into the larger buildings, making Gaara's job a lot harder as his chakra was already taking being used for the large barrier of Sand surrounding his body. Gaara has tried
To capture most of the falling debris and crush it to pebble sized stones but one slipped and was falling at full speed to a small girl below she stared up in horror, and to Gaara's relief, a strong wind front sent the large boulder flying across the skies and over the wall that protected the village.
Gaara smiled as more gusts of wind followed throwing boulders away from the city, Temari landed from the skies her large white fan splayed open, she approached her brother.
"I see you can use some help." She said as Kankuro and Hinata met up to join them, Gaara glared at Kankuro from within a small hole inside the cocoon of Sand.
"What is she doing here? " Gaara asked, displeased.
"Hinata is a medical nin, we've fallen short on our own and she can help heal the injured villagers, besides she wanted to come." Kankuro quipped back. Gaara glanced at Hinata who was smiling, she nodded a look of determination in her eyes asked for Gaara's trust that she will not get hurt.
"This creature has an exoskeleton which serves as its main defense machinism, also which is why it is moving still." Gaara said the last part with a deadly annoyance.
"There has to be a way to destroy it" Temari stressed, Gaara remained silent.
"Two bad there isn't a way to destroy it from inside. " Kankuro stated as his puppets hurled a large sized stone at the meddling creature, it had no effect. The creature burrowed underground. Temari and Kankuro looked at each other nervously, Gaara remained still and focused his chakra.
"Temari move out of the way!" Gaara yelled out, Temari managed to dodge with but a small graze on her leg, the creature, crashed down onto the hard surface of the earth digging another burrow.
Temari landed ten feet away, her fan clenched tightly behind her. Kankuro started stumbling as the earth underneath the three started to shake.
"I can sense the creature moving inside the sand, even when it's miles below the earth I can feel him." Gaara stated.
Kankuro lowered his stance trying to firmly plant his feet for balance turned to his brother.
"So I'm guessing right now he's just below this lay of sand right? Because I can't seem to steady myself. "
Gaara stared at his siblings, he closed his eyes for a brief moment then reopened them, he seemed to be thinking.
"I know a way to stop this thing but it is going to exhaust my chakra a great deal also I'm not sure if it would be one if my wisest decisions." Gaara said solemnly.
Hinata had her hands over a young boys leg and infused the wound with her chakra, rapidly it began to heal and Hinata was met with teary eyed family members thanking her profusely. Several other medical nin had their hands full with more severe cases of wounds. Hinata slowly built up her chakra and began to work on the next villager who's had a gaping hole in his abdomen.
"Hey...I need some help here!" Hinata called for help, a medical nin in blood splattered uniform joined her side, it wasn't long until the wound closed but Hinata was out of chakra, she painted and heaved, was sweating and tired but giving in isn't an option anymore. A couple more shinobi pulled three more severely injured villagers inside the enclosed cavern. Hinata's face lit up with determination. It was time to get to work.
Gaara felt he had enough chakra to follow through with his strategy but him pulling it off was another story. This enemy was tricky only because of the location, right in the center of Sunagakure.
