Just how many monsters are there in Konoha?
Kankuro swallowed hard. After entering the official tournament, the Konoha ninjas who appeared were all stronger than ever before.
Even the weakest one, Shikamaru, is incredibly intelligent; if he hadn't given up, his older sister Temari would most likely have lost as well.
Should I just give up on the next match?
Otherwise, judging from this situation, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to surrender before being killed.
"Is this the Chunin Exams?"
"Have we come to the wrong place and ended up in a Jonin-level arena?"
Temari was also trembling, but thankfully her opponent was an intelligent one.
"Don't be silly, Jonin don't need to take exams. They are directly assessed by the village leaders based on their strength and the number of high-difficulty missions they have completed."
The team leader, Jonin Maki, explained with a bewildered expression.
"Sand Armor? Your turtle shell is really hard."
After beating him for a while, Rock Lee, who was gradually getting tired, couldn't help but complain as he continued to beat him.
At this moment, Gaara's face, or rather, his entire sand armor, was cracked and peeling.
However, thanks to the rapid repair provided by a massive amount of chakra, it stubbornly remained attached to the body's surface.
It was not completely broken.
"Your technique can't be used for long, can it?"
"When you become weak, that will be your death day."
Gaara's eyes were filled with murderous intent; even his self-proclaimed rival, Natsuki, hadn't managed to injure him this badly.
This watermelon rind dares to be so arrogant.
We must use sand later to crush every inch of his bones into powder.
"Then it depends on whether you have the chance."
"How about I show you this move?"
The Leaf Village Whirlwind, enhanced by the Eight Gates, sent Gaara flying like a cannonball.
He crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
next moment.
A loud shout came from ahead.
"Fifth gate, Gate 4.4, open!!!"
After the door opened, everyone noticed that the blue chakra steam around Rock Lee had disappeared, but the air around him was strangely distorted.
"Die!"
"Can't stop it!"
Gaara, lying on the ground, instinctively sensed the threat of death.
The methods he had originally devised to deal with Xia Mu were no longer hesitated to be used ahead of schedule.
He closed his eyes and interlaced two fingers of his right hand.
"The art of feigning sleep!"
Terrifying and evil chakra exploded forth with a deafening roar, seemingly endless!
It swept across the entire arena in an instant, even the Hokage and Kazekage on the podium showed expressions of shock.
The massive amount of chakra stirred up a sandstorm that covered Gaara's figure.
By this time, Rock Lee had finished his adjustments.
Without fear, they plunged headlong into the sea of sand, and along the way, the rocky floorboards burst open and cracked.
"Li Lianhua!"
Chapter 138: Light Illuminates Konoha, Rock Lee's Tathagata Palm
"Let's use this move to end the battle!"
"Li Lianhua!"
Rock Lee roared and plunged into the dust and sand, charging towards Gaara's location.
After opening the fifth door, while enduring an extremely heavy load, he also gained unimaginable power.
His immense energy caused everything he passed through to explode.
Like an invisible ox, it swiftly plowed a trench across the field.
The entire stadium was filled with dust and sand.
"How terrifying, has Xiao Li suddenly unleashed his full power?"
"This time, I really couldn't see him anymore; he was moving too fast."
Even some Jonin couldn't see Rock Lee's moving figure clearly.
Sasuke hurriedly activated his pitiful two-tomoe Sharingan, but he could barely keep up with Lee's speed.
If I were to fight him, even if my eyes could keep up, my body wouldn't be able to react in time.
"Damn it! There's a genius here?"
This made Sasuke feel frustrated once again; why were there so many strong people of his generation in Konoha?
I've been praised as a genius since I was a child, is that really true?
Sasuke fell into deep self-doubt.
As the Chunin Exams progressed, he suddenly realized that geniuses in Konoha were far too cheap and too common.
Even the initial excitement of learning Chidori was dampened considerably.
Unlike the original work, in recent years, Xia Mu, the top student, has been dominating the story.
This made Sasuke work even harder, and he learned Chidori faster, so unlike in the original story, he didn't arrive at the arena late.
Boom! !
A tremendous roar echoed through the churning dust and sand.
Only then did everyone realize that an evil aura was rapidly escalating within the smoke and dust.
A dense aura of killing intent spread in all directions.
"What's going on? Could that gourd kid possibly stop Rock Lee in this state?"
In the audience, the gazes that had been drawn to Rock Lee's condition were now turned back to Gaara's position.
They discovered that the area had long been covered by a vast expanse of yellow sand and dust.
An exceptionally terrifying aura was brewing within.
Those who had experienced the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage 12 years ago showed expressions of utter horror on their faces.
This aura is so similar to that of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Damn it, Gaara released that guy."
The Jonin leading the team, Maki, looked extremely grim.
Gaara is the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast.
The aura emanating from the area at that moment clearly belonged to Shukaku.
He quickly glanced at the Fourth Kazekage from afar.
They discovered that Lord Kazekage was still sitting upright.
The anxiety in her heart immediately lessened, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, Lord Kazekage is still here."
The Kazekage is skilled in Magnet Release: Gold Sand, and has repeatedly suppressed Shukaku in his berserk state in Sunagakure.
With him around, everything will be fine.
If Maki discovered that the Fourth Kazekage had already been assassinated and that the current Kazekage was actually Orochimaru in disguise, one wonders what he would think.
"Oh!"
“Bang bang!!”
Boom! ! !
"What?! What the hell is this thing?"
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Rock Lee plunged headfirst into the sea of sand.
The Ririka Strike hit Gaara's sand form once again.
Then a massive sand wall rose from the ground and blocked the way.
Moreover, this sand wall is constantly rising and expanding, its area becoming larger and larger.
