I'm Really Annoyed!

While Orochimaru was playing happily with the children of Team 7, Dōmeki also began to move through the Forest of Death.

Team 8.

Team 8, led by Kurenai Yuhi, a rare female Jonin Konoha, is considered the most skilled reconnaissance team among this year's students.

The trio consists of Hinata Hyuga Hinata Hyuga the Byakugan and can see through objects and conduct long-range reconnaissance; Kiba Inuzuka, the largest supplier of ninja beasts in Konoha; and Shino Aburame, who is proficient in insect manipulation and has achieved an undefeated legend.

Although the three were considered the weakest ninjas among the Konoha 12, they were almost always the first to eliminate the enemy and collect the Heaven and Earth Scroll by setting up various traps with their superb reconnaissance skills.

Kiba Inuzuka looked smugly at the enemy they had toyed with, and excitedly high-fived his Ninja Dog Akamaru.

"As expected, we are the strongest!"

Hinata Hyuga somewhat insecure, lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers hesitantly. Neither her personality nor the upbringing she received from her family allowed her to utter such arrogant words.

However, the cautious Shino Aburame frowned. "We should hurry to the tower; it's still too dangerous here."

Shino Aburame had previously detected several powerful auras from the insects' probing, causing them to tremble. No matter who it was, they were not beings that the three of them could afford to provoke.

Come to think of it, this is supposed to be an exam for Genin, so why are there so many exceptional individuals? Do those guys have some kind of misunderstanding about Genin?

Suddenly he looked up sharply and shouted to his two companions, "Someone's coming, and they're coming fast!"

Almost simultaneously, Akamaru, perched atop Kiba Inuzuka's head, also barked nervously.

"What? The scent of someone I know?"

Hinata immediately activated her Byakugan, and as eerie blue veins bulged around the girl's eyes, even the cute girl took on a slightly ferocious look.

"Wait, it's Ino and the others! They're in terrible condition!"

Meanwhile, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who were fleeing for their lives in a sorry state, kept lamenting. These three, who were the most unassuming of all, had been quietly hiding in a secluded thicket from the beginning, waiting for an opportunity to ambush the weaker opponents.

But the monster just happened to discover them. Shikamaru Nara, supporting the staggering Choji, sighed inwardly.

"We've already handed over the scroll, yet he's still so relentless! How could he lay a hand on a beautiful young woman like me? Is that guy crazy?!"

Ino Yamanaka, disregarding her appearance, casually wiped away the sweat that had seeped out, muttering to herself.

"Shikamaru, why don't we fight that guy?"

Shikamaru Nara, usually so laid-back, was now calm and serious. As the team's strategist, he was quickly analyzing the strengths of both sides, but no matter what tactics they employed, they were ineffective against that red-haired monster. The only solution now was...

Gather enough classmates; although we are currently enemies, the best option is to combine the strength of Konoha to eliminate such an overwhelmingly strong opponent.

Suddenly a familiar voice rang out from ahead, bringing a slight smile to Shikamaru's face, but he quickly suppressed it, thinking that even with Team 8, it probably wouldn't be enough!

"Shikamaru, you guys look like a mess! Do you need my help?"

Suddenly, Kiba Inuzuka jumped out of the bushes ahead, hands on his hips, shouting at them.

"Teeth, run! The enemy is tough to deal with!"

Shikamaru shouted a warning, but Kiba Inuzuka ignored it and rushed past the three of them.

Call!

A sudden gust of wind swept in, sending the unsuspecting tooth flying backwards.

Seeing this, the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho had no choice but to stop, shielding the fallen Fang behind them, and cautiously gazing at the back of the forest.

Shino Aburame and Hinata quickly helped Kiba up and whispered inquiries about the enemy.

Before Shikamaru could speak, the sound of footsteps gradually began to ring out.

A red-haired boy walked slowly towards them amidst the wary gazes of the group.

Shino Aburame stretched out his palm, where a small, returning black insect was trembling. He couldn't help but speak softly.

"Monster!"

Hinata beside her, also paled. From her perspective, the amount of Chakra hidden beneath that boy's human form was so immense that she had almost never encountered anything like it in the entire Hidden Konoha.

"His Chakra is incredibly strong, it's practically inhuman!"

Listening to their two companions' whispers, the group felt a chill run down their spines.

"A monster? That's a very apt description!"

The red-haired boy's voice was deep and cold, and then countless dust particles rose around his body.

"Wait, Gaara, don't cause any more trouble!"

Kankuro rushed over and tried to dissuade Gaara from his excessive actions, but was completely ignored.

"Trash, if you try to stop me, I'll kill you too!"

"You!"

Kankuro was furious, but when he met Gaara's murderous gaze, he couldn't help but back down, showing no dignity whatsoever as an older brother.

As Gaara raised his palm, countless streams of yellow sand erupted from the gourd behind him, instantly forming a giant hand that reached out to grab the group.

Choji, Human Bullet Tank!

Seeing this, Shikamaru had no choice but to order Choji to attack again.

Choji Akimichi glanced at his companions behind him, the timid expression on his face completely vanished, and a fighting Kakkō ignited in his eyes. He instantly shrank into a ball and charged towards the Sand Hand.

"Bang!"

The giant assassin collapsed again, and Choji's body flew backward, only to be caught by Shikamaru's shadow tentacles.

"Great! Next up, Sandfall Delivery!"

Gaara wore a cruel smile, but then he saw his older sister Temari looking at him with a pleading expression.

"Snort!"

Gaara snorted coldly, then reached out and squeezed, the flying sand turning into a plug on the gourd.

I'll listen to you this once!

Kankuro: Am I not human?

However, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were helpless against their younger brother who would crush people into blood at the drop of a hat. It was all their father's fault!

Gaara didn't even glance at the six wary Konoha members, and turned to leave, but paused for a moment as he passed Temari.

"When I run into that man, I won't hold back!"

"The feeling he gave me made me very uncomfortable!"

"Kid, that guy who annoys you, it's not me, is it?"

Just then, a red-haired ninja appeared, sitting on a large tree nearby.

Bored out of his mind, the Dōmeki held a wild fruit in his hand and took a bite as he spoke.

The vibrant juice flowed from the fruit, staining the boy's lips like fresh blood!
