Gaara merely watched with an unimpressed expression on his face as the loudmouth rushed towards him- evidently, the weakling had a death wish, which Gaara would more than happily fulfill. But Ryohei's futile act of stupidity? defiance? ...whatever was hurting Gaara's head. The attack seemed to come slow motion, as though he were watching stroboscopically. Why?
Flash.
Why the hell would such a weakling go this far to protect his friend? Why would he push Temari out of the way? What the hell did it matter to the damn brat if either of them died?!
Flash.
If their existences were weak enough to be wiped out this easily, then they deserved to disappear.
And then the collision between human flesh and sand.
There was no way that an ordinary taijutsu user without any chakra could possibly break through the Shield of Sand. It was inevitable. Predictable. As Ryohei let loose the punch, the sand moved upwards to block the blow automatically. Gaara barely had the time to blink when, impossibly- impossibly-the sand actually gave way.
The sand had absorbed all of Ryohei's momentum, and so, for a moment, Gaara merely stared in absolute disbelief as a fist was suspended before his face.
