I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Under Chiaki's tutelage, Hyuga Neji is indeed close to becoming a special Jonin, but it's really hard to say who would win between him and Rock Lee, who has opened the Eight Gates.

In other words, Rock Lee might just be the pinnacle of this generation of genin.

Gaara, on the other hand, was no ordinary person either. As the number one genius of Sunagakure and the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast in this generation of Sunagakure, his combat power was incredibly strong.

To know just how strong he is, you can look at the genin he crushed.

The battles in the Forest of Death were fierce and brutal.

As the host, Konoha did indeed send a considerable number of ninjas to rescue the genin from other countries, in order to avoid losing too many talented individuals in the Forest of Death.

Leaving aside the Konoha 12's show of mercy, the Sand Village side was killing with unbridled abandon.

Aside from Konoha ninjas, Gaara would show mercy if Temari and Kankuro intervened. However, any genin from other countries who encountered Gaara would face certain death; they had no choice.

Originally, Sunagakure had a feud with the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning during the Second Shinobi World War, so Gaara would not hold back when he encountered ninjas from those two countries.

As for the ninjas from other small countries, Gaara could simply kill them without hesitation.

The Sand Village of the Land of Wind is once again at the bottom of the Five Great Nations. How could the ninjas of the Land of Grass and the Land of Hot Water possibly dare to challenge the Land of Wind?

In the ninja world, it's all about killing each other. Those who are naive and romantic like Konoha, who want to find a path to peace, are often just hothouse flowers.

It's because Konoha has a good environment, and with several large trees supporting it, that the children under those trees have the peace of mind to contemplate life and how to bring peace.

In other countries, where survival is at stake, how can there be peace?

Grab as many resources as you can; strengthening yourself is the most important thing, okay?

This god of war, who fought his way out of the crowd, is far stronger than an ordinary Chunin, even if his strength has not yet reached the level of a special Jonin.

If some Jonin-level ninjas are not careful, they could very well be killed by Gaara's sand.

Whether Rock Lee can defeat an opponent of this caliber is truly an unknown.

"Kakashi?"

Might Guy gripped the railing tightly with concern, turning to Kakashi and saying, "If something happens to Lee, I'm worried I might lose control..."

"...Trust your disciple."

Kakashi remained silent for a moment, and could only use these words to comfort Might Guy.

He could not give a precise answer to the unknown outcome.

"That's Gaara... Just think of all those genin still lying in Konoha hospitals!"

Might Guy gripped the railing tightly. "Many ninjas have been deemed beyond repair; they will lose their right to be ninjas!"

"If, Li, he..."

"No, don't worry."

Kakashi interrupted Might Guy, smiling at him, "I'll say it again, trust your student, Guy!"

Might Guy took a deep breath and forced himself to look at the arena, suppressing his unease.

With a stern expression, Gaara floated slowly from the stands onto the field, supported by the sand. Rock Lee, on the other hand, leaped down from the stands with an eager look on his face and landed opposite Gaara.

“Look at his expression. Compared to you, your disciple is much more confident.”

Kakashi smiled at Might Guy, a rare occurrence for him, to reassure his uneasy friend.

For some reason, rationally speaking, Might Guy believed that Kakashi was right, and he was willing to believe his disciple.

But he always had a bad feeling, a sense that something was going to happen to Li.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Please both sides form the seal of opposition!"

Hayate Gekko gestured to Gaara and Rock Lee on either side, and the two obediently raised their left index and middle fingers, symbolizing their readiness to begin the battle.

The referee, Gekko Hayate, glanced at the two people on his left and right, coughed, and took a step back. "Then, let the match begin!"

Just as Moonlight Gale finished speaking, a female voice came over.

"It looks quite lively."

The next moment, something happened that thrilled all the ninjas watching.

A wisp of pink chakra formed a bridge that descended from the sky, and on the bridge, Chiaki, dressed in a purple kimono, gracefully walked down.

Beside Chiaki, Mirai with short brown hair quietly accompanied him, and the two of them attracted the attention of all the ninjas!

Because of their existence, Konoha has overcome countless difficulties. Because of their efforts, the ninjas now have the opportunity to gather together and peacefully conduct the Chunin Exams.

"Greetings, Goddess of Life!"

"Greetings, Lady Blood Maiden!"

Hayate Gekko was the first to bow to the two, and following his gesture, all the ninjas present bowed to Chiaki and his companion.

"No need for formalities, I'm just here to take a look."

With a calm and graceful demeanor, Qianqiu landed on the ground with the help of the future, looking down at the moonlight and the swift wind.

Gekko Hayate felt like he was suffocating. He wasn't very tall, and he was even shorter than Chiaki, who was wearing thick wooden clogs.

Furthermore, Chiaki's unrestrained display of beauty perfectly matched the legendary breathtaking appearance. If it weren't for the fact that Gekko Hayate's own wife was also very beautiful, he probably would have fallen head over heels for Chiaki.

"Sister Qianqiu!"

Kakashi appeared before Chiaki with an excited Might Guy and bowed. Chiaki nodded to the two of them, then turned his gaze to Gaara, who was clearly somewhat wary, and Rock Lee, who was equally excited.

If we were to name the most memorable battle from the Chunin Exams in the original manga, it would probably be this one.

The only poor kid in the whole series who got banned for 600 episodes because of his cheating skills, Chiaki definitely had to come and see him.

If possible, she also hoped to help this boy.

The secret techniques of the Eight Gates Formation must not be lost.

In the future, besides the world-creating Emperor Kai, wouldn't it be even better if there were also the world-destroying Rock Lee?

Chapter 610 Weak

"Is this all right now?"

"You can rest assured."

Kakashi smiled at Might Guy beside him and said, "Chiaki-neechan has arrived. You can rest assured that your disciple will be safe."

Matt Kai was also very pleased. The title of Goddess of Life was quite effective here. As long as Qianqiu was there, there was basically no need to fear any problems.

"By the way, Kakashi, why don't you ask Goddess to help treat those ninjas who were injured by Gaara at the Konoha Hospital?"

"It's quite a pity that those kids lost their qualification to become ninjas."

Now that he no longer had to worry about Rock Lee, Might Guy even had the energy to worry about other ninjas.

"I'm afraid this won't work."

However, Kakashi shook his head and said seriously to Might Guy, "Chiaki once said that she would try not to do things that save all living beings."

"why?"

Might Guy said, somewhat puzzled, "The goddess clearly has the power to save all of this..."

“Kai, having the ability to save someone and having the necessity to save them are two different things.”

Kakashi said in a deep voice, "Chiaki-neechan's ability can completely change a person's fate, but what happens after that?"

"She is not a god; she cannot be responsible for everyone's fate."

"Sister Qianqiu can only protect what she sees in front of her and those who are worth her attention."

"You reap what you sow; that is an unchanging fact."

"What will the ninja world become once people develop the bad habit of being saved without paying anything, thanks to Chiaki-neechan?"

Might Guy followed Kakashi's train of thought for a moment, and couldn't help but tremble.

If people really develop this bad habit because of the millennium, then the level of fighting in the ninja world will rise to another level.

Then came the fall of the Goddess of Life, and the Third Shinobi World War.

This is horrible.

Everything in the world has a cause and effect; every drink and every bite is predetermined.

Those who attempt to defy destiny will always suffer the consequences of karma.

"However, Sister Chiaki can improve the skills of the doctors in Konoha Hospital through teaching, so that they can treat patients."

Faced with Might Guy's chilling and unsettling thoughts, Kakashi stroked his chin and offered another solution.

"After all, they have to pay to go to the hospital. The right way is to pay for the services they receive."

"There's such a way?"

Might Guy's eyes widened, and his impression of Kakashi's cunning deepened once again.

……

"Qianqiu, is it necessary for us to watch this match?"

In the future, not quite understanding, he took Chiaki's arm, while Rock Lee below assumed a Wing Chun stance, while Gaara stood quietly in place, as if he didn't take Rock Lee seriously at all.

In reality, he didn't need to take Rock Lee seriously. Rock Lee's current strength was only that of a genin, and he couldn't even break through his absolute defense.

For some reason that Gaara is currently unaware of, the sand surrounding him, which almost possesses its own consciousness, can provide him with absolute defense at any time.

Based on how game stats are represented, Gaara's absolute defense is practically unbeatable.

Absolute Defense: Can completely block all damage from units one level below itself.

Gaara, a Chunin-level ninja, possesses an absolute defense that can automatically block all attacks from Genin-level opponents.

At the same time, if one's throwing skills with concealed weapons are not up to a certain level, absolute defense can completely prevent such attacks.

This is terrifying, meaning that Gaara is almost impossible to be injured by an opponent weaker than himself.

Hmm... that's pretty invincible.

"That Rock Lee shouldn't be able to defeat Gaara, right?"
