"The opponent is Gaara from Sunagakure Village. It feels like it will be a tough battle for Naruto."
Looking at Naruto and Gaara who were already walking towards the competition venue, Kakashi kept his eyes locked on Naruto, touched his chin, and after thinking about it, expressed his inner worries.
Although Naruto had received special training from Jiraiya in the past few days, and even mastered the art of psychics, was able to summon the toads from Mt. Myoboku, and began to learn the Rasengan, the time was still too short.
If you want to rely on these tricks to defeat Gaara, in Kakashi's view, it is a bit unrealistic.
Unless it's channeling the power of the Nine-Tails. .
But channeling too much power of the nine tails will cause Naruto to go berserk and lose control.
At that time, Ghost Country, as the organizer, had to terminate the competition and intervene to deal with the matter.
Kakashi just hoped that this situation would not happen, otherwise, Naruto would have to stop here.
"Indeed, the opponent's Sand Control Ninjutsu integrates offense and defense, and the range of the technique is extremely large. It may not be easy to win by relying on the number of shadow clones."
Sasuke, who had recovered somewhat, stood up from the ground. Although he was not fully recovered, he could still manage to continue fighting.
However, now was not the time to worry about Naruto.
Because after this game, it was his turn to appear again.
The opponent is a miko from the land of ghosts. It would be difficult to win in this state. In other words, it is simply impossible to do.
Until now, Sasuke couldn't think of a better way to survive the second round.
He wished Naruto could hold on longer so he could get more rest.
Even if he could hold on for one more minute, it would be a good thing for him, as he could recover a little more energy and chakra.
"If you really have to force it, it doesn't matter if you give up next time. In your current state, you are not suitable to play."
Kakashi glanced at Sasuke and could see that Sasuke was in very bad physical condition at this time.
Even after Sakura's treatment, he was still barely able to handle a simple battle.
"I don't want to stop here, Kakashi."
Sasuke smiled back, completely ignoring whether his physical condition allowed him to cope with a high-intensity battle.
"You are still so strong."
Kakashi sighed, and seeing that Sasuke was determined, he stopped trying to dissuade Sasuke and focused his attention on Naruto again.
In terms of potential, the opponent might even surpass Sasuke.
Especially the power of the Nine-Tails, if you can turn it into your own, you can become the top powerful ninja in the ninja world.
As long as this possibility existed, no one would dare to underestimate the terrifying power in Naruto's body.
"The opponent is a ninja from Konoha. Gaara shouldn't be able to kill him."
Compared to Kakashi's emotion, Sunagakure was worried that Gaara would kill everyone in the competition.
Markey sighed, with a look of worry on his face, and replied: "It's hard to say, if he falls into a state of rage, he will not care about any covenant or non-covenant matters. And this final can be said to be a strong one." Like clouds, Gaara could no longer control the murderous thoughts in his heart.
I'm really worried that he will cause irreparable harm during the game. "
"What to do?"
"If that time really comes, we can only let Lord Kazekage take action."
Marky said ashamedly.
It's shameful to say that when faced with the rampaging Gaara, as an elite Jounin of Sunagakure, he didn't have much confidence in suppressing him.
As a guardian and guidance jounin, it can be said that he is unqualified.
After hearing this, Kankuro's face showed the same obvious worry as Maki.
Thinking of the scene when Gaara went berserk, Kankuro couldn't help but shudder.
It was obviously a hot weather, but he felt very cold and had no warmth at all.
Naruto and Gaara walked to the playing field and stood facing each other, looking at each other.
Onigashima Shinobu looked around at the two of them, scratching his head in distress.
The two jinchūriki were arranged to fight together. This match was a bit too scary.
If he goes berserk, this level of barrier will not be able to withstand it. If an emergency occurs, we can only expect the big shots in the audience to handle it personally.
This is no longer something that a jounin can handle.
When he thought of this, Onigashima Shinobi felt that standing inside the barrier suddenly made him feel less safe.
Because if the chakra in the two people's bodies starts to run rampant, he, the examiner, will be the first to be unlucky.
"Are you all ready?"
Onigashima Shinobu subconsciously took a step back, as if he was on guard against something, very alert.
"I am ready."
Naruto held up the forehead protector on his forehead and showed an excited smile, apparently very confident in his own strength.
Gaara crossed his hands on his chest, his eyes revealed a coldness, he didn't speak, and responded with silence.
"Then, the game begins!"
After saying this, Onigashima Ninja used the teleportation technique to retreat to the edge of the field.
If something went wrong, he would immediately escape from the barrier and reach a safe area.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
After Onigashima Ninja announced the start of the game, Naruto immediately formed a seal, and with a puff of smoke, more than a dozen shadow clones that looked exactly like Naruto rushed out of the smoke.
More than a dozen shadow clones started to attack from both wings. They did not rush up at the beginning, but surrounded Gaara in a circle. Then the shadow clones rushed up, took out kunai, and attacked from all directions.
Gaara maintained a cold posture with his hands folded on his chest. When Naruto's shadow clones began to riot, the sand in the gourd behind him also began to riot at the same moment, spurting out from the gourd quickly, and then like The clouds dispersed.
The kunai poked into the sand, feeling like it was piercing the extremely hard steel.
Moreover, a powerful counter-shock force came from it, knocking back several shadow clones and rolling them away.
"Damn it! It's such hard sand!"
Several of Naruto's shadow clones that were ejected were lucky enough to be saved because they just rolled over but were not seriously injured. They looked at the sand surrounding Gaara, bared their teeth, and felt sincerely unhappy.
The way the other party stood motionless made Naruto feel extremely insulted, as if he had been looked down upon.
"Shadow clone is such a boring jutsu."
Gaara's green eyes with cold murderous intent glanced at the shadow clones around him and spoke indifferently.
Although there was no contempt in his eyes, there was contempt in Gaara's voice.
He believed that this game would end more easily than imagined and advance to the next round.
More than Naruto, he wanted to fight the miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts.
However, it's soon.
As long as he wins this battle, if nothing unexpected happens, the miko named Wu Zhi from the Kingdom of Ghosts will also advance, and then she can have a real battle with her opponent.
For this reason, he had to ensure that his chakra was sufficient, and no accidents could occur before that.
Only the blood of the strong can make you excited!
"Don't worry, Mom, you'll get the delicious blood soon. It's just a pre-dinner dessert now."
Gaara put his hand down and pressed his forehead, trying hard to restrain something. A low voice came out of his mouth, and he smiled in horror.
"Uh, mom?"
Naruto blinked, swallowed, and shivered unnaturally.
Gaara looked like he was talking to someone, but in the barrier of the venue, apart from the two of them and the examiner, there was no fourth person present.
Who is Gaara talking to?
Thinking of this, all the hairs on Naruto's body stood up. For him who had been afraid of ghosts since he was a child, a shadow of fear suddenly fell over his heart.
Shaking his head, Naruto tried his best to dispel this inexplicable feeling of panic. The most important thing now was to win this game.
Besides, how could such unclean things appear in broad daylight?
The other party must be bluffing.
After saying that, the shadow clones around him rushed up again, preparing to break through the sand protecting Gaara with their numerical advantage.
Gaara's cold eyes glanced over, and his hands immediately formed seals.
"Ugh!"
The powerful whirlwind swept up the sand and dust, blowing it around Gaara like a sandstorm.
Mixed in it were tiny sand balls the size of fingers, flying out like bullets in a fire.
Bang bang bang like bullets of sand balls, mercilessly penetrated Naruto's many shadow clones, and there was a constant sound of shadow clones exploding and disappearing.
"Um?"
Gaara narrowed his eyes and looked at all the shadow clones that had disappeared. There was no one around, even Naruto had disappeared.
Are they all shadow clones?
Thinking of this, Gaara noticed something and immediately raised his head.
The fists falling from the sky got bigger and bigger in his eyes, and Naruto attacked him from the sky.
The surrounding sand automatically gathered towards Gaara's head, forming a hard shield wall.
boom!
The fist hit the hard sand wall, and a large amount of sand flew away, including the blood that spattered from the broken skin on Naruto's fist.
Naruto gritted his teeth and glared at Gaara fiercely.
Unexpectedly, even with all his strength, he still couldn't break the sand wall. It was like an indestructible steel plate. When he hit it with his fist, his bones seemed to be cracked.
It's a little unusually hard.
"You are very weak."
There was no trace of panic on Gaara's face. Looking at Naruto who was so close, the unwillingness and unyieldingness in the other person's eyes were clearly shown in his eyes.
Later, he came to this conclusion about Naruto.
We've obviously made it to the finals, but if it's this level, it's not even a warm-up.
It was much worse than the Bai I met in the first round.
At least facing Shiro, he basically used all the means except Shukaku, but he still won with great reluctance and luck.
But Naruto was too weak.
All he knew was that letting the shadow clones swarm him was like a child's play.
"I don't want to destroy the friendship between the allies. It's better for you to surrender as soon as possible. I have no interest in you."
Gaara said again.
Such a guy doesn't have the slightest sense of accomplishment even if he kills.
What's more, if you really do that, your situation will become more delicate.
Before the murderous thoughts surged in his heart, he hoped that Naruto would give up as soon as possible.
"You panda eyes, don't look down on people here!"
Naruto once again increased the strength on his fist, as if he could make a cracking sound of bones.
boom!
The fist passed through the sand wall and hit Gaara hard in the face.
Gaara's eyes widened slightly, and then his body rolled out, and the sand around him moved with it, protecting Gaara's surroundings every step of the way.
"hateful!"
Naruto looked at his bloody fist and cursed himself for being reckless and shouldn't have accepted such an obvious provocation.
Gaara slowly stood up from the ground and touched his face. A crack that was not particularly conspicuous appeared on it, and then disappeared. It is so weak and pitiful, so let me choose an ending for you. "
Being hit by a fragile ninja like Naruto, Gaara's anger and murderous intent were boiling in his heart, and he stared at Naruto.
"Humph, that's exactly what I meant! Now I finally feel a little more motivated!"
Naruto formed seals with his hands again, releasing powerful chakra.
"The art of multiple shadow clones!"
In a series of white smoke from the explosion, countless Narutos flew out, rushing towards Gaara one after another.
Compared with the number of shadow clones before, the number of shadow clones at this moment has exceeded the scope of normal shadow clones.
This guy! Gaara was surprised inside.
He knew the shadow clone technique, it was a very advanced super ninjutsu.
Generally used to test the enemy's situation and collect intelligence.
It is very rare for a shadow clone to be thrown into battle like Naruto.
Moreover, so many shadow clones were created at once. Gaara immediately noticed the fact that the opponent's chakra was only slightly stronger than his!
Gaara's eyes became serious and cold.
There were about thirty people in Naruto's shadow clones who rushed up this time.
This number is already quite exaggerated.
Manpower sprang up from all directions, and Sha Sha, who was already stretched thin, had no time to defend against so many shadow clones.
Often, as soon as one side resists, the shadow clone on the other side suddenly rushes forward.
If it weren't for the instantaneous technique, Gaara would have been hit by the shadow clone's fist many times.
There are too many people! Gaara secretly felt that it was getting tricky.
Even though they were miscellaneous fish, they were still ninjas after all. This number already made him feel troublesome.
"Quicksand Waterfall!"
Gaara looked at the shadow clones that kept rushing up, and he immediately squatted down and slammed his hands on the floor.
Boom!
The wolves on the ground trembled.
The ground behind him suddenly cracked open, turning into a torrent of sand that rushed into the sky, and then swooped down to the ground in one go.
A panicked shout came from the mouth of Naruto's shadow clone. Looking at the waves of sand rushing over like a tsunami, he forgot to resist for a moment, as if the soles of his feet were rooted and unable to move.
Boom!
The earth and the surrounding barrier walls were shaking violently.
The entire ground was covered with sand, and it was impossible to see what the original playing field looked like, forming a small desert.
There was a sound of brushing, and a black shadow jumped out from the sand. It was Naruto's extremely embarrassed figure, spitting sand from his mouth.
"It's really difficult."
Gaara frowned as he looked at Naruto coming out of the sand, who had not yet been defeated by the sea of sand.
So, Gaara raised his arm, and a hand of sand appeared, grabbing Naruto.
After Naruto landed, he ran quickly to dodge the attack of the Hand of Sand.
"The art of multiple shadow clones!"
A large number of shadow clones appeared again, and Naruto's true body was also mixed in. They began to scatter in all directions, leaving Gaara not knowing which one was the true body.
At this moment, a Naruto bit his finger and began to form hand seals, then pressed his hand seals towards the ground.
"Psychic art!"
boom!
After the white smoke dissipated, an aqua-blue toad covered with pimples appeared.
Slightly larger than an adult, it flapped its mouth as soon as it appeared and spat towards Gaara's position.
A water ball with a diameter of half a meter was launched from the toad's mouth like a cannonball, heading straight towards Gaara.
boom!
The conscious sand quickly formed a shield wall to defend itself.
The water polo, which was also as heavy as steel, concentrated hard on the sand wall, directly breaking a big hole in it, and the water flow mixed with the sand and splashed.
Gaara was shocked and quickly backed away. He didn't expect that the psychic beast summoned by the other party would use such a powerful water escape and be able to directly penetrate the sand wall.
Snapped.
When he retreated and settled down, two hands suddenly emerged from under the sand and grabbed his ankles.
A head also popped up from the sand and said with a smile: "I've caught you now!"
Oops!
Gaara was secretly annoyed, and when he saw countless shadow clones of Naruto flying around him, he immediately felt something bad.
After forming seals with both hands, the sand on the ground began to roll like waves, interfering with the movements of these shadow clones.
"Succeeded!"
Naruto's angry voice came from behind, and Gaara turned around in surprise.
"Let you try the secret of Konoha's ultimate taijutsu taught to me by Kakashi-sensei - one thousand years of killing!"
Poof!
The kunai stabbed in.
On the audience stage, some women blushed and covered their faces, but they could peek through the gaps between their fingers to see the scene on the playing field.
Kakashi also felt that the eyes of some people around him were looking at him, which was filled with a subtle feeling. His face became slightly unnatural, and he covered his face in distress.
"Really, just use it, don't say I taught you it."
As for Gaara, who was involved, he felt an extremely hot impact, gushing from the back to his lower abdomen, and then rushed straight into his brain, causing his face to twist in agony.
Gaara didn't have time to think about this, because he saw Naruto suddenly jump back, and on the kunai's ring handle, a detonating charm was burning, on the verge of exploding.
The sand on the ground began to vibrate uneasily.
Accompanied by an explosion and a scream that was masked by the explosion, countless sands began to gather towards Gaara's position like a tidal wave.
It surrounded him tightly, forming a huge sand ball, making it difficult for people to see what was going on inside.
Naruto saw some blood stains remaining on the sand and knew that although Gaara finally pulled out the kunai from that place, he did not completely avoid the explosive attack of the detonating talisman.
"What a tenacious guy. He was bleeding from the back and still kept fighting."
At this time, Gaara, who was wrapped in a sand ball, was filled with humiliation and violent murderous intent, and this murderous intent went straight towards Naruto.
Low, suppressed sounds of pain kept coming out of his mouth.
I'm hurt, mom... I'm hurt, I want to kill him... kill him... I must kill him..."
At first, I could barely control the desire to kill in my mind, but when I thought about the location where I was injured, the desire to kill could no longer be contained and erupted like a volcano.
Don't hide in your turtle shell, come out! "
Naruto yelled outside, letting his shadow clone rush forward, attack the maracas, and pull Gaara out of it.
Just when many shadow clones were about to approach the sand ball, a dark hole suddenly appeared on the sand ball, revealing the boundless and deep darkness inside.
"Um?"
Before he could realize what was going on, a thick black shadow swept out from the black hole, blowing up sand and dust. The shadow clone that rushed forward made a series of explosions and disappeared.
"Then, what is that!?"
Naruto's eyes widened and he saw the thick black shadow emerging from the black hole. An unprecedented terrifying pressure directly pressed on his shoulders, making his body sink and he couldn't help but want to surrender and kneel down.
Chakra filled with evil aura overflowed from the huge sand ball, floating toward the sky like bubbles.
This evil chakra made Naruto's body feel excited, and a strange yet familiar feeling surged into his heart.
The ninjas on the audience stage who knew about it all took it seriously.
They naturally knew what was coming out of the maracas hole, especially the ninjas of Sunagakure, whose eyes were even more clouded, as if they had recalled some memory that frightened them.
"Is the tailed beast's chakra starting to leak? Kazekage-sama, if the situation gets out of control, I will have this game stopped."
Shiraishi's face condensed slightly. Although he was not afraid of the power of the tailed beast, if the power of the tailed beast really went rampant at the scene, it would be quite troublesome to deal with it.
"I have the same idea. Although it is not a problem for the Jinchuuriki to compete, but if Gaara goes berserk and loses his mind,
The game should have been stopped. "
Luo Sha nodded seriously.
The prerequisite for the Jinchuuriki to participate in the Chunin Exams is that the tailed beast's chakra can be controlled.
If it exceeds the Jinchuuriki's own control and causes the tailed beast's chakra to go berserk, then naturally there will be no way to continue the game.
In Gaara's current situation, only a part of his chakra has leaked out, and this level is still within the controllable range of the jinchūriki.
But if it continues without control, it will only be a matter of time before you lose your mind.
"But, is there no problem with the barrier?"
Luo Sha asked.
Shiraishi nodded and said, "No problem. The strength of this barrier is comparable to the Four Purple Flame Formation. Even a complete tailed beast can hold on for a while."
After saying that, Shiraishi turned his attention to the field again.
Only this time, his eyes were not on Gaara, who was gradually losing control, but on Naruto.
He was looking forward to what methods Naruto would use next to face this difficult battle.
Let me see what you left in him, Minato. Bai Shi thought in his heart.
In order to arrange the two jinchūriki in this game, he has wasted a lot of effort, and now it is time to bear fruit.
