Here's the new chapter. Match 6 takes place.
Fu started the fight by charging straight for the Suna team while covered in a glowing blue field. Hoki quickly created a water blade, while Doboro entered a taijutsu stance. They didn't bother charging along with Fu.
Fu's attack was immediately intercepted by a wall of sand. Gaara seemed to murmur something to his teammates, who just nodded and charged at Fu's teammates, leaving Gaara to deal with Fu.
So the shorty was the one in charge. Something about Fu and Gaara seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't place it. Their chakra gave him a feeling that somehow, he'd met them before. He ignored the feeling and turned his attention back to the fight. Temari had pulled out her fan while Kankuro was using two puppets to attack both Hoki and Doboro.
Temari swung her fan hard, releasing a powerful wind attack that tore at the ground as it moved at the two Takigakure nin.
Hoki and Doboro went through some hand seals and summoned up a water wall that managed to block the attack. But Kankuro had subtly maneuvered one of his puppets to close in and attack them from the sides. It launched poisonous smoke, which Hoki managed to dodge, but Doboro couldn't do so. He quickly collapsed soon after.
On the other side, Fu was continuing her assault. Her feet seemed to shake the ground every time they slammed into it. She suddenly put on an extra burst of speed and slammed into Gaara, but it turned out to be a sand clone, and said sand quickly clung onto her in an effort to slow her down.
Gaara quickly covered her with more sand from his gourd. Soon enough, he'd managed to cover her in a cocoon of sand.
But said cocoon seemed to be struggling to contain her. Gaara seemed to be trying to crush her with the pressure of his sand, but it couldn't break through the field Fu had around her. Fu managed to break and arm out of the sand containing her. Just as it seemed like she would escape, Gaara splayed open his hands while moving them up, and the ground burst open.
A ridiculously large amount of sand rose up from the ground to completely bury Fu. Hoki saw that and quickly resigned.
Onoki was the first to speak, and said "Two Jinchuriki in a single chunin exam !?"
Hiruzen seemed to be suppressing a smile as he said, "Indeed. This is a rare occasion."
A looked at him with a glare and said, "Bringing a Jinchuriki to a contest like this might be expected from Takigakure, given how desperate they are for relevancy. But Suna, a major village should be ashamed of such a thing, Rasa."
Yagura quickly gave a reply to A before he could answer, saying "I don't think that's fair. There is nothing exempting Jinchuriki from these exams. Besides, you have to admit that the level of ability shown by Gaara is impressive. It's rare to meet someone with that level of skill among Jinchuriki in general, let alone one his age. That sand shield is also very interesting."
He smiled at that and replied, "Yes, Gaara's talent is tremendous."
Though unfortunately, there were other problems when it came to Gaara. Gaara's seal was a newly made experimental seal in Suna that was designed to try to naturally mix One-tails abilities with Gaara. But unfortunately it gave the beast a greater level of influence that he'd anticipated, resulting in Gaara being plagued by sleepless nights, and even occasionally losing control of his powers.
He mind flashed back to an incident of the past.
"I didn't mean to!" sobbed out Gaara, while clutching his uncle's body.
Normally he would have tried to console Gaara, but the pain of losing his brother in law to his own son, as well as the rising burden upon his shoulders as the Kazekage got to him, and he spat out "It doesn't matter. You did this. You must embrace the monster within and direct it against Suna's enemies. You are nothing more than Suna's weapons. Act like it."
He regretted his words and actions, but wasn't sure what to do in the present. Was it still possible for Gaara to live not as a weapon, but as a proper human being ?
A/N
That's all for this chapter. Thanks for reading. The strength of the seven-tails lies in durability, as the blue field is ridiculously difficult to break past. I've changed Gaara's backstory a little, since Rasa's actions in canon just didn't make sense to me. Part of this is probably because the idea of Bijuu was introduced later on. In early Naruto, the things within Naruto and Gaara were clearly demonic entities. So I've made the appropriate changes to make it flow better.
