"That guy... who is he?"
Naruto, Satsuki and Konohamaru disappeared completely at the end of the street, Kankuro murmured to himself. He looked down at the tiny wound on his wrist that had healed without even a scar, and his heart was filled with confusion and surprise.
That chakra... what is it? Medical Ninjutsu?
"..."
Temari remained silent, his gaze still solemn as he watched Naruto leave. The impact that the blond boy had on her was far beyond her imagination.
Naruto Is it true that you are younger than you are? That kind of calmness and composure on the spot, sharp tactics to instantly defeat the enemy, and tact and tact in handling conflicts afterwards... Temari has never seen such traits in any of his peers.
"You two are really not ashamed of yourself."
Suddenly, a voice that was emotionless and as cold as gravel was heard.
Hearing this voice, Kankuro and Temari's bodies stiffened instantly. They raised their heads with difficulty and looked at the source of the voice - a figure standing on the branches of a big tree next to them. He has red hair, carries a huge gourd on his back, and has a dark-colored word "love" carved on his face. The most frightening thing is his eyes, which are filled with numbness and cold killing intent that are completely inconsistent with his age.
It is their younger brother, Gaara.
After the voice fell, Gaara's figure turned into a pile of scattered gravel, rustling down from the tree, and quickly gathered on the ground in front of the two people, re-condensing into a human form.
"Listen... listen to my explanation, I, Gaara..." Kankuro's face was full of fear and caution, completely gone from his previous arrogance, "Yes... it was them who found trouble first..."
"Shut up." Gaara's voice didn't waver at all, "What do you think we came to Konoha for?"
He tilted his head slightly, his unglamorous eyes swept over Kankuro, and added something that made the air almost freeze.
"... Be careful I kill you."
Hearing these words, Kankuro's face instantly turned pale, more cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he responded humbly almost immediately. "Yes... I'm sorry! It's my fault! It's my fault! Please... please forgive me..."
However, Gaara paid no attention to his brother's frightened look begging for mercy. His eyes once again turned to Naruto where he was leaving, and in the depths of his cold eyes, there was a rare trace of faint doubt.
That person... is not simple. Not just strength... but also, what was that strange feeling just now?
In the short period of time when Naruto appeared and revealed his methods, Gaara clearly felt that his heart, which had been filled with darkness and the desire to kill all year round, actually had a trace of strangeness, indescribable restlessness, and a strange feeling... that he had never experienced before.
This unprecedented feeling made Gaara feel confused and even a little irritated. He couldn't understand or define the emotion.
In the end, he suppressed all the surging thoughts, regained his cold face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and said calmly to the two people who were still in fear:
"That's enough. Let's go, we're not here to have fun."
"What? Jinchuriki of One-Tail? Naruto, are you sure?"
On the other side, after Kakashi heard the information provided by Naruto, his dead fish eyes that always looked lazy sharpened instantly, and his tone became more serious than ever before.
"Yes, sure." Naruto nodded affirmatively, "Kurama personally told me that the Sand Village team is indeed mixed with the aura of One-Tails Shukaku. It is indeed the same as me, Tailed Beast's Jinchuriki. Kakashi-sensei, this situation... Is this common among the Allies?"
Although Naruto already knew the names of other Tailed Beast and Jinchuriki in his heart, Kurama "personally" "popularized the science" for him.
Although most of the story was Kurama bragging about how he could easily crush One-Tail - he finally had a legitimate reason to tell this key information.
This is certainly not common! Kakashi's heart was ringing with alarm bells. As a strategic weapon, Jinchuriki from other villages has always been of the highest mass. It rarely appears in other countries so easily, especially in this period. What is Sand Village's plan?
"I understand, Naruto." Kakashi made a quick decision and said in a deep voice, "In the next Chunin Ninja Exams, be sure to stay away from Sunagakure's team, especially Jinchuriki named Gaara, this information is very important, I will report it to Lord Hokage immediately."
As soon as the voice fell, Kakashi's figure disappeared in a slight puff of smoke, and he rushed to Hokage Building as quickly as possible.
I hope this information will allow Old man Third to prepare in advance.
Naruto thought to himself. In the original work, "Konoha Crush Plan" was far more than just Third Hokage. Many Konoha survivors and civilians were killed in this attack. I hope this can reduce some unnecessary sacrifices. Of course, Naruto will also ask all members of the [Jin] organization to be on standby outside Konoha during Chunin Ninja Exams, just in case.
"Hey, Naruto!" At this moment, a deep voice with obvious displeasure sounded in Naruto's heart, "Why didn't you give Shukaku guy's Jinchuriki some color just now?"
It seems that Kurama feels very sorry that Naruto did not beat Gaara on the spot, thus failing to prove to Shukaku that "I'm Jinchuriki is much better than you", and missed an excellent opportunity to ridicule.
Naruto responded inwardly, "Kurama, please be reasonable. They didn't take the initiative to provoke, so we can't do it for no reason, right? That would cause serious diplomatic disputes. Besides, you actually just want to beat One-Tail, right? Isn't it a little bad to involve the innocent Jinchuriki?"
Naruto's rebuttal was reasonable, but Kurama still seemed a little angry. He snorted and did not respond immediately.
Looking at the awkward big fox in the spiritual world, Naruto quickly comforted you with a coaxing tone like a child, "Don't worry, Kurama. Chunin Ninja Exams will start soon, and then we will be able to 'justify ourselves' I successfully fought against Jinchuriki from One-Tail. Maybe, if we don't come to the door at all, Shukaku will jump out on his own! Then, won't you just do whatever you want?"
The prospect described by this description obviously scratched Kurama's itch. It imagined the scene of crushing an old rival in front of everyone, and the dissatisfaction was quickly replaced by expectation. In this way, Naruto once again successfully appeased this bad-tempered friend.
A few days passed quickly.
Konoha 63: On July 1st, the large-scale joint Chunin Exams hosted by Konoha Village and participated by Sand Village, Rain Village, Grass Village, Takigakure and Sound Village 𪣻 officially kicked off.
