Once the match between Shikamaru and Temari ended, the match between Sasuke and Gaara was about to begin. In all honesty, Mikito and Fugaku were dead worried about this match as they'd seen what Gaara could do.
The two combatants entered the arena and the proctor initiated the match. Sasuke activated his sharingan and waited for Gaara to make the first move, the guy didn't move so Sasuke charged right in throwing shuriken at the sand boy. The sand around him formed a sand clone which grabbed the shuriken and threw it back.
Sasuke dodged it and punched the clone in the neck, it frowned but its neck started to warp around Sasuke's hand. He pulled free ad ran at Gaara, but then, he disappeared and appeared behind the sand kid.
'He's fast!' Garra thought to himself. The sand tried to protect Gaara but it was ultimately no use, he experienced Deja vu all over again. Sasuke kept pressing his taijutsu attack which was working effectively against Gaara, who retreated back towards the far end of the arena and encased himself in a shell of sand.
Sasuke charged at it but when he got close enough, spikes shot out and cut him. facing no other choice, Sasuke retreats and prepares a move that he's been working on with Kakashi.
He does the hand signs and a simple chidori shows itself, shocking Fugaku in the process. Sasuke aims his chidori hand at Gaara's sand dome and a beam of lightning shot out of the lightning, still attached to the chidori. This bolt of lightning penetrates Gaara's sand shell and he stays quiet for a minute before shouting "BLOOD! MY BLOOD!"
"Unbelievable! Gaara's hurt!" Temari's thoughts screamed. Her brother Kankuro bore a shocked expression to compliment that thought
Sasuke then saw something snake like moving from within the sand dome, not knowing what it was, the Uchiha kept his distance. Then a sand colored claw like arm shot out of the hole that Sasuke created and grabbed the Uchiha's arm and refused to let go.
"LET GO OF ME!" Sasuke shouted as he resorted to using a basic Chidori to break out and retreat. 'What the hell was that?!' Sasuke thinks to himself as he readies himself for another attack by that...thing.
'Kami help us all' Temari's thoughts scream again in sync with Kankuro's thoughts. Fugaku and Mikito frown in concern, there's more to this Gaara than meets the eye.
Kurama watches as a minute passes in silence, then he hears the Kyuubi's voice in his head. "That arm...i'd recognize that anywhere"
"Don't tell me he's a..."
"Jinchuriki? Yes he is, he carries the one tailed Shukaku in there"
"Does Naruto know? I mean...you do exist in the both of us"
"Yes...the part of me sealed in Naruto has already delivered the warning. I'm not sure what the hidden sand is playing at, bringing and out of control Jinchuriki to the chunin exams...but they're playing a dangerous game"
Kurama nods his head and turns, he finds his brother looking at him in worry. "I'm sure Sasuke will be fine..."
"But that's technically the sand villages version of either you or me" Naruto murmured
"I know...but he's an Uchiha with a fully evolved Sharingan, Gaara's in for a fight"
Naruto just nods his head and observes, but at that moment, he sees feathers falling from the sky. He turns and sees that people are falling asleep and one thing rings in his mind 'GENJUTSU!'
Uchiha Fugaku and Mikito notice and shrug off the genjutsu with a simple 'KAI!'. There's an explosion at the far end of the village borders and Garra's sand done vanishes...and the brat is nowhere to be found, the invasion alarm goes off and there is chaos in the Kage's booth.
One things for sure...Orochimaru has to be behinds this, his appearance in the Chunin exams gave it away. But enough of that for now, because now...this was an Invasion.
