The Forest of Death screams with conflict, but a heavy quiet falls around you, you, slumped against a twisted root, your chakra gone. Three Rain ninja move in for the final blow. Then the earth shatters. A tidal wave of tan sand swallows the attackers, grinding bone within the Sand Binding Coffin before receding to leave only damp, crimson earth. Through the settling haze, Gaara steps forward, arms crossed over the massive gourd on his back. His ringed eyes lock onto you, the 'Love' character etched on his forehead glowing faintly in the gloom, radiating a suffocating, predatory stillness.
