Gaara peered the left. 7 shuriken flew at him, but were stopped by his sand. He let go of Neji, and he crumpled to the ground. Gaara looked for the one who threw them. Then saw Kankuro hit the ground hard. He breifly peered at him. As he looked back, a knee hit him righ tin the chest, faster than his sand. He flew back and hit a tree trunk.
Neji saw both gaara and kankuro fly to the side, and thought he was saved. Someone picked him up and looked at himn in the eyes. Then the hooded figure smiled as he hit Neji in the back of the neck, knocking him unconcious.
Gaara shook his head and saw Neji get knocked out. He smiled breifly then remembered his brother. He saw kankuro far below the tree tops, a crumpled karasu to his left. Gaara scolded the person on the tree trunk with neji, and jumped at him. The ninja spun and attempted to kick gaara to the side, bu the sand protected him. Gaara smiled and punched the hooded figure in the neck. He twitched and fell far off the trunk. Then 2 more ninja appeared and threw kunai's at him. again the sand protected him. angrily gaara made a gesture with his hand. "Desert Coffin" he said as the sand engulfed the ninja. "Desert Funeral" he said as the ninjas imploded. He smiled to himself as the bllood spurted all over the forest. But the smile was temperary as 4 more ninja shot a strange beam of energy at Gaara. He had time to look at them, but darkness consumed him.
