In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

The Third Hokage on the observation deck had a wide smile on his face.

This time, with the Sand Village ninjas as a backdrop, Konoha really stole the show!

This is why Hiruzen Sarutobi insisted on making this Chunin Exams such a grand event.

Such a confrontation would have a significant impact on the general public and would also demonstrate their status as the number one ninja village to everyone.

The most obvious effect of this is

After Konoha Village, you can receive more commissioned missions.

Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage.

He carefully observed every expression on the Third Hokage's face.

Finally, he smiled slightly and turned his gaze to Tianyu, who was also watching the battle not far away.

In the third round, Shino Aburame will face Kankuro.

Kankuro decided to forfeit the match to preserve his strength for his future plans.

In the fourth round, Choji faced off against Naruto.

At Ten's behest, Choji also forfeited the match.

Naruto, furious and bewildered, jumped around wildly.

In the fifth round, Neji Hyuga faced Hinata Hyuga, and Hinata raised her hand to forfeit the match.

In the sixth round, Gaara faced off against Sasuke.

As the former number one clan in Konoha, or rather, the former number one clan in the ninja world,

The influence of the Uchiha clan remains immense to this day.

Even though this family had been extinct for several years,

The immense influence of the Uchiha clan has not yet dissipated.

This year's Chunin Exams did not include Tengo, who was hailed as a genius ninja.

Many people from other villages came because of Uchiha Sasuke's reputation as the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan, wanting to witness the power of the Sharingan.

In this world, ninjas with bloodline limits are always the center of attention.

Moreover, it is the Sharingan, which is known as the number one bloodline limit in the ninja world.

However, Sasuke did not appear for a long time.

The previous series of withdrawals from the competition,

This has already drawn widespread dissatisfaction from the audience.

Sasuke's absence at this moment caused an uproar among the audience!

"What happened? They all forfeited the match!"

"Exactly! What are we supposed to watch? It's completely unwatchable!"

"Could that Uchiha clan orphan be some kind of gimmick Konoha pulled to trick us into coming here and being ripped off?"

"Damn it! That Uchiha guy isn't here, what are we supposed to see?"

……

Loud shouts of dissatisfaction came from the audience.

They bought tickets to watch the game! What's going on with these consecutive forfeits?

Why hasn't that brat from the Uchiha clan shown up yet?

Are they playing a trick on them?

Are we trying to fool them like idiots?

Damn it, give me my money back!

Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was starting to lose face.

Amidst the vehement protests, Genma Shiranui, who had initially intended to declare Sasuke a forfeit, found himself in a dilemma.

He could only turn his attention to the Third Hokage, hoping that the Third Hokage would make a decision.

Finally, at the suggestion of Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, Sasuke was given an extra ten minutes.

When the ten-minute countdown was about to end.

"call--"

A whirlwind rose from the ground.

Kakashi and Sasuke made a high-profile entrance, back to back.

Gaara, carrying a giant gourd, stood on the other side of the arena, showing little interest in Sasuke's appearance, but instead keeping an eye on the direction of the Heavenly Palace on the observation deck.

“Your strength is not enough to pique my interest. My target is that guy named Tenyu,” Gaara said coldly. “But before that, I’ll deal with you first, just as a warm-up.”

"Heh, underestimate me. You'll pay a heavy price." Sasuke sneered arrogantly.

In the audience seats, the battle had just ended.

Back at the observation deck, Nara Shikamaru walked up to Tengo, scratched his head, and grumbled at him:

"Brother Tianyu, why did I have to be chosen? I'm the one who most wanted to just give up... This is so troublesome..."

"You use your brain, so consuming a few brain cells won't have a big impact on you."

If the others went down to fight, they'd probably end up like Sasuke in the arena right now—completely exhausting all their chakra and losing all fighting ability after this match. See, this is a perfect example of what not to do.”

"A negative example?" Nara Shikamaru immediately laughed. "If Sasuke heard you say that about him, he'd probably be furious."

Tianyu shrugged, spread his hands innocently, and said, "I'm just stating the facts."

Below the observation deck, after Sasuke's brief display of arrogance,

The duel between Sasuke and Gaara began soon.

Chapter 148 The Konoha Crush Plan! The Show Begins

Sasuke and Gaara are indeed among the strongest of the new generation.

Their duel was quite exciting.

Gaara and Sasuke's current strength has definitely surpassed the level of Chunin.

Uchiha Sasuke used the high-speed taijutsu he copied from Rock Lee.

It immediately won a lot of applause.

Gaara, who was evenly matched in ability but slightly lacking in combat experience, could only fight using sand. Faced with such high-speed physical techniques, he was powerless to fight back.

Even the Sand Armor, touted as an absolute defense, failed to block all attacks.

Gaara used sand to create a sand barrier, completely enveloping himself within it.

Immediately, Sasuke leaped onto the high wall and unleashed the unique technique Kakashi had taught him recently—Chidori!

"This time, I will definitely not let you underestimate me..."

On Sasuke's right hand, a ball of lightning condensed in the center of his palm, emitting a piercing sound like the simultaneous cries of thousands of birds.

At the same time, Sasuke's gaze fell on Tenyu on the stands, his eyes filled with a hint of arrogance.

Sasuke, having mastered Chidori, has clearly become a bit arrogant!

He wanted to prove his strength to that man in this match!

However, when he saw Tianyu...

Tenyu didn't even glance at him, let alone show a shocked expression. Instead, he was whispering with his girlfriend, Hinata.

"You bastard!"

Sasuke's teeth were almost crushed.

This guy actually disregarded me again!

"Let me show you the power of my Chidori!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth, his body strengthened by the stimulation of lightning-style chakra, and thrust towards Gaara like lightning.

"Chidori!"

Sasuke shouted, and the Chidori formed from lightning in his hand pierced fiercely into the protective barrier that Gaara had formed from sand.

"what--!"

A scream rang out.

A huge, fleshy hand covered in purple patterns emerged from the protective barrier and slapped Sasuke, who had just been stabbed, flying away.

The sudden turn of events on the field caught all the spectators off guard.

"What is that?"

"Monster!"

However, before anyone could get up and escape,

"Whoosh—!"

Feathers suddenly drifted down from the sky.

As the white feathers drifted down, the astonished audience felt their eyelids grow heavy and one by one drifted off to sleep.

Some of the weaker ninjas couldn't resist the intense drowsiness and collapsed.

The combined plan of the Sand Village and Sound Village to destroy Konoha has officially begun!

"It's finally starting."

Tianyu smiled slightly and said calmly.

"So, the stage is now set up."

The new student program in Konoha is about to officially begin!
