This Naruto is a player

As for Kankuro standing next to him? Ignore him!

Gaara was not having an attack at this time, and Shukaku within him was stable.

“Uchiha Sasuke?” He recognized the distinctive black hair; it was Naruto’s teammate with the blond hair.

"Releasing the monster inside you now!" Sasuke roared as he closed in!

Kankuro rushed to block him, but Sasuke twisted his body and kicked him away like a cannonball with a fierce whip kick!

Kankuro staggered to his feet, only to have his vision blocked by Sakura's fingers, which were clenched so tightly they were white! Her eyes burned with fighting spirit:

"Your opponent is me!"

No one is allowed to interfere with Sasuke's battle!

A bead of cold sweat slid down Kankuro's forehead—the shadow of the monstrous female demon from the arena still lingered!

The main battlefield.

With the Sharingan locked on, Gaara's disadvantages became apparent in his normal state!

Kakashi's lightning speed, honed through special training, rendered the sand armor defenses as flimsy as paper, sending Aira flying backward time and time again!

Snap! Boom—

The Sand Armor shattered inch by inch!

"I'll kill you!!!"

Amidst the shattered sand, Gaara's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and the suppressed, primal desire from the depths of his heart finally burst forth with a roar!

In the blink of an eye, Gaara's body swelled and twisted, transforming into a ferocious half-tailed beast monster!

but,

Compared to Sasuke, who had undergone six months of intensive training by Leopard Teacher, it was still just a punching bag that could only passively take hits!

Fire Release: Blazing Flames Like a Dragon!

Lightning Release: Thousand Birds - Sharp Spear cuts through everything like a beam of death!

The half-tailed beast's body tumbled and rolled in a sorry state, scattering sand everywhere, as sharp blue and white lightning easily tore apart its newly grown limbs!

"Ow—"

Under extreme pain and humiliation, the restraints collapsed!

A sand-covered Shukaku, as large as a small mountain, suddenly appeared in the woodland!

However, even such a colossal object only caused a slight ripple in Sasuke's scarlet tomoe eyes.

Swish!

A golden light flashed, and Naruto suddenly appeared on the treetop!

The three people and the dog focused their attention on each other, and Naruto checked on the two people and the dog.

Parker the psychic dog sat comfortably.

Sakura brushed the dust off her sleeve; it was the mark of her easily defeating Kankuro.

On the other side is Shikamaru, who defeated Temari.

On the field, eating Xiaoyao Pills was not allowed, and Shikamaru unfortunately lost.

However, off the field, the Nara family princes, who were not lacking in Xiaoyao Maru, completely overwhelmed them.

"Naruto-kun!" Sakura's eyes instantly brightened like stars.

Our pillar of support has arrived! Sasuke can finally breathe a sigh of relief!

Shikamaru slightly lifted his eyelids and raised his eyebrows: "Oh."

That counts as giving prior notice!

Parker looked up and saw an old acquaintance, then wagged his tail, asking for interaction: "Naruto, do you want to touch my paw pads?"

Want to pet a dog?

of course!

Naruto's fingertips skillfully sank into the soft, fluffy pads, but his sharp gaze pierced through the branches, locking onto the center of the battlefield!

Time seemed to stand still.

The enormous Shukaku stood motionless like a sand sculpture, while Sasuke stood atop a tree, coldly confronting him.

Gaara bursts forth from the sand, roaring as he attempts to activate the Sleep Technique!

However, it failed!

No matter how the hand seals changed, the core consciousness that should have awakened—the tailed beast named Shukaku—remained completely unresponsive!

"Monster! Come out!! You get out here!!!"

Gaara's voice was distorted by an intense thirst for power as he furiously pounded the sand with his hands! But that familiar, tyrannical consciousness was like a dead flame that had been completely extinguished, offering no response whatsoever!

Deep in the sand—Shukaku's consciousness shrank into a ball: at this moment, there was no longer the violence and madness of the past, only lingering fear!

"I'm not going out! I'd rather die than go out!!"

It recalled the golden nightmare that had recently terrified it!

Those fists, as big as sandbags, easily shattered its tailed beast chakra condensation time and time again!

Then it was smashed into sand and gravel that flew everywhere!

That wasn't a battle. It was pure, one-sided humiliation!

Each punch contains a monstrous force, like a heavy hammer crushing the core of the soul!

pain!

The pain was so intense that my mind went blank!

The pain was so intense that I couldn't even muster any anger!

It hurts like hell!

Get me out of here? If I leave, I'm a dog!

"Hey, Shukaku,"

Gaara's voice carried an absurd mockery: "Could it be that you're afraid of this Uchiha?"

Shukaku thought: "A mere Uchiha? That's nothing!"

"No!" Gaara instantly understood, his pupils shrinking in shock—the answer was so absurd it sent chills down his spine:

"You're afraid of him! Naruto Uzumaki!!"

boom!

This realization was like a giant hammer shattering Gaara's understanding!

That invincible monster who roared for freedom all day long and tore wildly through his flesh and blood, was willing to give up the freedom that was within his grasp because of fear of another man.

She didn't even dare to show her head when that man wasn't around.

Hahaha!

Gaara's laughter was hoarse and distorted. "So you've become a coward too? Just because of that little blond kid who was crushed by the First Hokage long ago?"

"died?"

Shukaku's consciousness suddenly surged into a monstrous wave!

How could a man like that die?

"Yes! You should have sensed that terrifying battle in the distance just now. He was blasted to smithereens by the first and second generation summoned by spirits!"

It remembers that battle.

That scene, that terrifying chakra fluctuation, was like the scorching summer sun. Even though its perception was limited, even though it was dozens of kilometers away, it was still burning with heat!

The golden retriever puppy died! Hahaha!

The shackles of fear cracked open a crack in an instant, and the spotlight of ecstasy almost blinded its beastly eyes!

That's how it is.

The next instant,

The beast's pupils, which had been standing still and dazed, suddenly contracted to pinpoints. Then, a pure, destructive hunger, like a mad beast breaking free of its shackles, suddenly awakened deep within this body!

"Hahahaha! I'm out again!!!"

6K, that's all for today's update. I'll see if I can make up for the missed chapter later, so don't wait.

Chapter 107 Pay attention, I'll only teach you once (216)

"Hahahaha! I'm out again!!!"

Shukaku's shrill cry tore through the sky, each word carrying an explosive joy and liberation!

I've been feeling stifled for so long! I've finally seen the light of day again!

Although I didn't get the revenge myself, the death of the golden retriever is just so satisfying!

Despite its arrogance, it still cautiously perceives its surroundings.

A thorough search of the surrounding area revealed no trace of that damned, nightmarish chakra fluctuation!

The final shackles are off!

"Haha! Little golden retriever! So what if you're strong? Can you outlive me, Grandpa Shouhe?"

The sense of superiority as a tailed beast instantly exploded!

Suddenly—

Its golden, star-like eyes suddenly locked onto Sasuke at the treetop! A gigantic claw, accompanied by a destructive gust of wind, crashed down:

"Little Uchiha? While I'm in a good mood—I'll tear you apart for fun!!!"

The claws were halfway down when a strange, familiar unease suddenly pierced my nerves. This scene... why does it feel so familiar?
