Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Amidst the smoke and dust, Gaara knew that passive defense was not an option under such an attack; he had to seize an opportunity to counterattack. He touched his forehead with two fingers...

Softly, softly.

Hidden in the bushes, the sand gathered a third eye, allowing him to maintain his vision even under these circumstances!

"Hmph!" hope snorted coldly. As an elite Jonin of Kumogakure, his abilities did not focus on combat, but rather on perception and genjutsu!

The third eye had barely appeared when he detected it. A kunai crackling with lightning flew over and shattered the eyeball!

Gaara frowned as he was protected by the sand.

Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!

Taking advantage of Gaara's loss of vision, four special Jonin from Kumogakure surrounded him and formed hand seals together.

Water Escape·Water Lotus Emerging from the Ground!

Splash! The four petals of the water lily rise and close together in the middle!

Then, the four people changed their hand seals.

Lightning Release: Earth-Walking Lightning Serpent!

Crack!

Four lightning snakes ran through the water lily!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Gaara's screams continued for a long time.

After the dust settled, the sand, which had been soaked in water and disintegrated, was scattered everywhere, and Gaara lay there in agony.

hope said, "It seems they've run out of strength to struggle. Let's retrieve them..."

The Cloud Village ninjas surrounded them.

"Hehehehehe...Continuous Barrage - Sand Rain." A voice filled with murderous intent rang out.

Biu! Biu! Biu! Biu!

To everyone's astonishment, the sand clumps, now heavy and murky with water, shot out from the ground in all directions.

"Aaaaaah!!" Those who approached the Cloud Village were all killed!

"His chakra has suddenly increased dramatically!?" hope exclaimed in disbelief.

Gaara stood up, his right eye transformed into the menacing eye of Shukaku, and his right side of his body resembled a miniature Shukaku!

—One-tailed Shukaku Possessed!

The body undergoes obvious changes, but still maintains a humanoid form, similar to the Tailed Beast Form 2 of other Jinchūriki!

It is worth mentioning that although Shukaku has the fewest tails, it is not the weakest. It is even comparable to Chomei, the Seven-Tails, which is second only to the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails. Among the tailed beasts, it ranks third!

"Hehehehehe... I can't hold back anymore, Mother! I'll let you taste the sweetness of human blood right now!!!" Gaara laughed hysterically, a terrifying storm of chakra sweeping in all directions, tearing apart large swathes of trees...

"Captain hope!!!"

hope's face was covered in cold sweat: "His chakra is still increasing rapidly. I'm afraid it won't be long before he fully transforms into a tailed beast!!"

"Complete tailed beast transformation, doesn't that mean..."

"Shukaku will be released in this Forest of Death in Konoha. None of the examinees here will survive... Our mission has failed!"

"What about the genin from Kumogakure who participated in this exam?"

"I'll use the scroll to notify them in a moment!"

"Understood!"

The Cloud Villagers prepared to retreat.

"Die!!!" Gaara charged forward in a rage.

"Hmph!" hope turned around and formed a hand seal.

Lightning Release Illusion Technique: Lightning Illusion Lightning Pillar!

Buzz! The light illuminated everything.

"Ah!!! Damn it!!!" Gaara covered his eyes with his large hand, and when he looked again, the Cloud Village Clan had disappeared.

But the violent killing intent within him did not subside; in fact, it seemed to be intensifying...

Suddenly, he spotted several people who had been alerted by the commotion and were hiding in the bushes watching!

"Hehehe!!!" With a strange laugh, he charged forward.

"That monster is coming! Run!!!"

"Ahhh!!!"

However... they were torn to pieces by Gaara.

Another part of the forest.

Kumoi and Karui, both genin from Kumogakure, stared at Killer Aba, who was sleeping soundly in front of them!

At first, neither of them expected that they would be assigned to the same group as the target they were tasked with hunting!

After entering the Forest of Death, the two waited patiently for their chance to strike.

But now that the moment has finally arrived, I can't bring myself to do it!

Perhaps it's because of the inhumanity of this mission itself!

Perhaps it's because of Kira Ahachi's striking resemblance to his compatriots, and... his optimistic personality!

But they were ninjas after all!

“Karui, let’s play rock-paper-scissors…” Omoi said.

The result of the rock-paper-scissors game was that Omoi lost.

"..." He had a lollipop in his mouth, a ninja sword in his hand, and looked at Killer Aba with a complicated expression: "Sorry, we are ninjas!"

His knife was about to pierce Kira Aba's heart!

"Wait, Omoi!!" Karui suddenly stopped him.

"What's wrong? I just made up my mind!" Omoi frowned.

"Look at this!!" Karui held up a message scroll in his hand, on which were eight words: Cancel the operation, retreat immediately!

"Phew!!" Omoi let out a long sigh of relief.

He sheathed his sword, placed the scrolls of heaven and earth he had collected along the way beside Kira Aba, and said as he left, "Goodbye, lucky rap kid..."

That night, Gaara, out of control and rampaging like a monster, roamed the forest and brutally slaughtered the Chunin Exam candidates!

In less than an hour, all seven teams, totaling twenty-one examinees, died at Gaara's hands. Gaara's tailed beast transformation was becoming increasingly obvious, and he was almost turning into a miniature Shukaku!

Xiaoxue and her two companions were resting by the stream.

Suddenly, Xiaoxue gripped her shoulders tightly and frowned, saying, "Have you noticed how the air suddenly turned icy cold since just now...?"

"..." Youmeng shook her head blankly.

As time went on, Xiaoxue's unease grew stronger: "Hinata, use your Byakugan to investigate!"

"Yes, I understand!" Hinata gathered her chakra, and 20 seconds later, her Byakugan opened, 10 seconds faster than before!

"Oh my god... what is that?!" Her expression changed drastically.

"what happened?"

"A monster is approaching us, from the eight o'clock direction, very close!"

"Prepare for battle!" Xiaoxue stood up, gripping her kunai tightly. Hinata and Youmu also stood up as if facing a formidable enemy.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! With a series of earth-shaking steps, Gaara, in his half-tailed beast form, appeared before the three girls, including Xiaoxue!

Chapter 264 The Princess's Majesty! (3/5)

Gaara's two Shukaku eyes coldly stared at the three girls before him, his gaze finally locking onto Yuki at the front: "Heh heh, you give me a different feeling, completely different from the previous prey. Your blood is surprisingly sweet..."

"..." Xue's eyes narrowed, thinking: When Hinata mentioned monsters, I thought they were large, ferocious beasts that lived in the forest. Turns out, they're people who resemble beasts. This strange chakra and appearance... could it be...?

"Hinata!"

Hi...hi!

"Take good care of yourself and don't do anything rash!" Xiaoxue advised.

"Yes!" Hinata replied meekly, but clenched her little hands with some reluctance.

"Youmeng, I'll lead the attack, you provide support!"

"Understood!"

Whoosh! Little Xue's little hands moved swiftly, forming a hand seal and then a trumpet shape!

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

Bear! Bear! Bear!

Thin pillars of fire spewed from her small mouth, spreading in front of her into a huge fire dragon that engulfed Gaara, crackling and popping as it burned!

Youmeng thought: So powerful! A B-rank Fire Release technique right off the bat!

As the flames subsided, Gaara's two massive Shukaku arms, charred in places and emitting plumes of smoke, lay crossed. His hands parted, and the smile on his bizarre face became even more twisted: "Hehehe... the exhilarating heat! I choose you!!"

boom!!

He stomped the ground flat with one foot and shot forward, his fists pounding straight down!

He was incredibly fast and had an intimidating presence. An ordinary ninja would probably have panicked and instinctively retreated!

Both Yumu and Hinata are like that!

Whoosh! But Xiaoxue stood firmly in place, calmly and collectedly forming hand seals.

"Is it too late?!" Youmeng exclaimed in surprise.

Gaara has rushed to Yuki's side!
