I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

The candidates were then directed to enter through one of the ten entrances.

Although Kitahara Kaede said he would act together with Hinata, Hinata was randomly placed at another entrance.

So the primary objective after entering is to reunite with Hinata.

After all, she was Kitahara Kaede's girlfriend, so Sasuke and Naruto were quite understanding.

So the three of them ran quickly towards the edge of the forest like ninjas.

Naruto and Sasuke's pure taijutsu skills have greatly improved, reaching the level of Jonin who are close to elite Jonin, so their speed is naturally very fast.

This is why they are confident they can quickly reunite with Hinata.

but.

"Wait!"

Gaara, the Sand Village's number one weapon, blocked their path.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Gaara said, standing on a tree.

This is the tree that Kitahara Kaede and the others just passed by. Gaara is standing where Sasuke jumped over earlier.

The fact that Gaara is here means... Gaara cheated.

He transformed into some kind of object and stuck to Sasuke's body.

That's why it appeared so quickly.

No wonder Temari said Gaara was impossible to dissuade, because this guy... is simply disobedient.

"Damn it, I misjudged him!" Sasuke realized that he had been stuck to Gaara.

So I cursed.

"Naruto!"

"Ok!"

Both of them had been enhanced by Kitahara Kaede and were not afraid of Gaara.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—" Gaara unceremoniously poured the sand out of the gourd.

Chapter 056 Shukaku: How dare I take thousands of blows in my face! Go! (Seeking first subscription!)

Gaara opened the gourd on his back, which was half his height, and a large amount of sand poured down.

And his body leaped down from the tree.

The movements were light and swift.

"Looks like you didn't get enough last time!" Naruto said.

Naruto didn't have much combat experience; he just felt that Gaara was keeping up with him.

And this time... it actually turned into an item hidden next to Sasuke.

This was something he hadn't expected at all.

However, because he lacked combat experience, Naruto was also eager to fight.

“Yes!” Gaara smiled, his eyes were heavily circled with dark circles and bloodshot.

He didn't hesitate to sneak into Sasuke's side immediately after seeing Temari call Kitahara Kaede away, and then transformed into Sasuke's ninja tool bag for this purpose... to find an opportunity to fight Naruto and Sasuke again.

“I’ve never been so humiliated in front of you all in my entire life!” Gaara said.

"Although I have been constantly attacked by ninjas sent by my father from the village."

"Or be assigned to carry out a very dangerous S-level mission alone."

"Or perhaps... you were hurt by your uncle Yashamaru, whom you've always trusted."

None of these things hurt me.

"And you two...

"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke."

I will defeat you!

As Gaara spoke, more and more sand emerged from the gourd behind him. Using some secret technique, he pinched the sand with his left hand, and instantly the surrounding 5x5 square meters were covered with a thick layer of sand.

The sand in his gourd seemed endless, continuing to leak out.

"..." Naruto.

"!?"

Naruto was somewhat stunned by Gaara's self-deprecating remarks.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Why did your father arrange for ninjas to assassinate you?"

Naruto found it incomprehensible.

“You don’t need to understand this kind of thing!” Gaara said.

“Then let’s fight him,” Sasuke said. “Kitahara-kun, Naruto and I will hold Gaara off, you go and get Hinata Hyuga.”

When Sasuke and Naruto arrived at the exam hall that morning, they encountered Hinata Hyuga right in front of Kitahara Kaede's house.

Furthermore, since Kitahara Kaede had just invited Hinata to join him, as a teammate, he naturally had to play the role of assisting her.

In this way, Sasuke appeared reliable.

"So, is it alright to hand it over to you?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

“Of course!” Sasuke said confidently. “I’m not the same person I used to be!”

“Then…” he looked at Naruto. “Then Naruto can also assist me.”

"The two of us combined are stronger than Kakashi."

When training in taijutsu, Sasuke always borrowed chakra from Kitahara Kaede because he didn't have enough, but Naruto didn't need to borrow any.

Naruto himself is like a chakra power bank, capable of instantly creating dozens or even hundreds of shadow clones.

Like a monster.

in this way.

Even if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit it. Naruto has become awesome.

Sasuke also discovered that Naruto's taijutsu skills were about to surpass his own.

and so……

He still had great faith in Naruto's abilities.

"And this Gaara is just a Kakashi at best."

Sasuke said.

"So just go find Hinata, we can handle this little thing."

"Besides, it was Naruto and I who knocked him away, so Gaara should only be the two of us, Naruto and me."

"Right, Naruto?"

·······

"Of course!" Naruto always remembered that Kitahara Kaede had helped him. It could be said that if Kitahara Kaede hadn't removed the seal on his stomach that night, then he... definitely wouldn't be like he is now... he would probably only be able to fight with his life on the line because his skills weren't "003".

Yes.

He had always wanted to repay Kitahara Kaede, so wasn't now the time to do so?

So he stood with Sasuke.

Even before they had done anything, the appearance of Sasuke and Naruto exuded an imposing aura.

It makes people feel quite reliable.

"Is it……"

Kitahara Kaede glanced back at them.

Then they didn't leave.

"Sasuke, although I know you two have both improved."

"But once you start showing off, I think it's better for me to stay."

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

[Big Pillar Silly]: Tobirama, what's with Sasuke's showing off this time?

【Big Pillar Silly】: Why did Kitahara Kaede say that Sasuke had to stay if he was showing off?

[Tobirama Senju]: Brother, I joined the group around the same time as you, how would I know?

[Tobirama Senju]: Kakashi, do you know him?

[Kidney Deficiency Naruto]: Me? Let me think... Sasuke's personality is rather arrogant, and as I just said, Gaara is at best just a Kakashi.

[Kidney Deficiency Hokage]: So although it's a bit immature, I actually hope Sasuke suffers a setback first.

[Might Guy]: Kakashi, you're still so petty.

[Might Guy]: But if Kakashi, your strength is only like Sasuke or Naruto's, does that mean I can challenge them in the future?

【Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow】: Whatever. ┓(??`?)┏ I actually feel much more relaxed.

[Might Guy]: Wait a minute, Kakashi, I still believe in your strength.

[Matt Kai]: I will only challenge you. We are lifelong rivals.

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: Hmph!

While Kakashi and Might Guy were talking, Mei Terumi also logged in.

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: Come to think of it, I think I understand why Kitahara-kun deliberately stayed behind.

[Unmarried older single woman]: Since Gaara is the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, then... his strength must be stronger than Sasuke and Naruto.

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: After all, Gaara still has the One-Tailed Beast as a cheat code.

Mei Terumi's words are accurate; most people believe that the tailed beasts are very strong.

Having a tailed beast is not just about having its power, but also... having its chakra.

As long as you're not the type to engage in hand-to-hand combat, wouldn't it be incredibly satisfying to have a large amount of chakra and use ninjutsu?

Look at Kakashi, he's so weak because he's running out of chakra.

Naruto is actually the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but I'm sorry.

Everyone was in the group chat, watching and watching, but no one noticed that Naruto used any Nine-Tails power. According to Hiruzen Sarutobi's outdated thinking, they would only think about Kitahara Kaede restraining the Nine-Tails if it went berserk.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never consider teaching Naruto how to use the Nine-Tails' power.

in this way.

Naruto's Nine-Tails cheat code is completely useless.

Based on this comparison, Gaara's side has a higher chance of winning.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Speaking of which, how are the strengths of the tailed beasts divided?

[Tobirama Senju]: Huh? Big brother, you're asking this now? Well... it seems to be divided according to the number of tails. As the number of tails increases, the strength of the tailed beast also increases.

[Tobirama Senju]: But the One-Tailed Beast is different. The One-Tailed Beast's strength is close to that of the Eight-Tailed Beast.

[Tobirama Senju]: I told you not to distribute the tailed beasts carelessly, but you still gave the One-Tailed Beast to the Sand Village.

[Tobirama Senju]: Look, the tailed beasts have been turned into weapons, haven't they?

[Big Pillar, Silly Guy]: Well... anyway, aren't tailed beasts and stuff like that pretty easy to deal with?

"..."

The other actors on set were the first to break out in a cold sweat.

What do you mean by saying that tailed beasts are easy to deal with?

Okay.
