Konoha Collapse Plan!

Naruto was already timing it.

By the clock.

Next would be Sasuke VS Gaara, followed by a large-scale battle erupting midway.

Orochimaru launched his attack!

Gaara and a group of Sand Village ninjas turned tail and fled.

Excellent!

Naruto thought, if one day he became the leader of the Five Kage.

He would definitely have popcorn and soda at the Chunin Exams.

It would be best to also start a Vortex delivery and Naruko express service.

"Sasuke! Go for it!"

Sakura felt much more at ease seeing Sasuke return.

It felt like the cruel image of Naruto in her heart had been instantly banished.

All the praise meant nothing to Sasuke.

He wasn't getting stronger for their approval.

He was getting stronger for revenge!

"Sasuke! You have to give it your all for me!"

Naruto used a summoning tool to bring a loudspeaker from home and shouted at the arena.

"Shut up!"

Sasuke's composure instantly broke, his face turning red.

"Gotcha!"

"It's been a boring month without our bond, this is the real fun."

Naruto threw the loudspeaker back and continued watching.

"You jerk!"

Sakura was furious.

"Because of you, Naruto! Sasuke isn't smiling anymore!"

Ino was enraged.

The fangirls wished they could tear Naruto apart.

"He's as cool and aloof as me, is that not allowed?"

Naruto sprawled out like a lord, daring anyone to step forward!

"Hmph."

Gaara detested Naruto. Not only had he saved Rock Lee in the hospital before.

Now he was chatting and laughing with Sasuke.

This thing called a bond, he hated it!

Sasuke also found him extremely annoying.

The two met like sworn enemies and exchanged greetings.

Then came the so-called strongest defense.

Chidori's debut caused the whole crowd to gasp.

Naruto almost fell asleep watching, it was just like in the anime.

If Sasuke had the Mangekyo Sharingan now and could use Susanoo, it would be much more exciting.

The battle was halfway through.

Sasuke's hand pierced through the sand wall!

What was going on?

Naruto felt like he was cursing.

Time was up!

Shing!

Orochimaru made the first move.

Konoha was invaded from within, and a great battle erupted.

It turned out to be Orochimaru disguised by the Transformation Jutsu!

Alright!

Naruto had known about this for a long time.

Someone even tried to use genjutsu to make everyone fall asleep.

But Naruto remained clear-headed throughout.

He was even expecting something.

[Stop!]

[Konoha Crush Incident has begun, triggering an advanced mission.]

[Beginner Mission: Awaken the good in Gaara's heart, build a bond, and let the lonely child love this world.]

[Advanced Mission: Save Konoha, protect the balance of the Ninja World that is about to fall apart, and turn the tide.]

[Beginner mission success reward: 20 Goodwill Points, Advanced mission success reward: 50 Goodwill Points.]

[Beginner mission failure penalty: 200 points, Advanced mission failure penalty: 500 points.]

"Oh?"

Naruto's mind was on something else entirely.

Could it be that not only talent became powerful after transmigration, but also the soul?

Or perhaps his genjutsu talent was also very strong!

Naruto was one of the few genin who hadn't fainted.

"Sakura! Your genjutsu talent... huh?"

Kakashi saw Naruto sitting in his seat, completely unharmed.

"Naruto, you have genjutsu talent too? Since when!"

How strange.

Kakashi hadn't noticed this before.

"I'll handle these people. You guys go after Sasuke. If that Sand Village guy goes all out, Sasuke will be in danger!"

Was this a triggered mission?

Naruto stood up, but his feet hadn't moved yet.

Kakashi, with a look of surprise in his eyes, arrived using the Body Flicker Technique.

"Watch out!"

Kabuto was going to ambush Naruto before leaving!

"Watch out for what?"

Naruto's hair instantly grew longer.

His hair, as hard as steel needles, blocked the dagger in Kabuto's hand.

"You were prepared? When did you notice!"

Kabuto hadn't expected Naruto to have seen his every move long ago.

I've read the manga five times, how could I not know where you are, Kabuto!

"So much nonsense, Kabuto."

Naruto was faster than Kakashi, who was rushing towards him.

He turned and spat out the chakra he had accumulated for a long time.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Three fireballs attacked simultaneously, surrounding Kabuto.

"Damn it!"

Kabuto hadn't expected to fall at Naruto's hands.

"Leave the rest to me! Go find Sasuke!"

Kakashi charged forward.

He didn't know how Naruto's strength had suddenly become so great.

But it was too late to explain anything.

There was only one thing to do now: fight!

"Let's go! Sakura and everyone!"

Shikamaru, Choji, and the others were awakened.

They followed behind Naruto in pursuit.

"Naruto is so fast! What Body Flicker Technique is that?"

Choji found that Naruto had already reached outside the arena in the blink of an eye.

"It must be the move he used to defeat Neji Hyuga earlier," Shikamaru followed behind.

But Naruto was simply too fast!

"Why!"

Sakura ran with all her might.

Forget finding Sasuke; just being able to catch a glimpse of Naruto's back was proof of a massive surge in strength.

How could it only be a month?

How had the others in Team 7 become this strong?

Sakura began to doubt whether she would ever be able to bridge this gap in strength.

Deep in the forest.

Kankuro and Temari hadn't even seen what it was before they were overtaken by the rapidly advancing Naruto.

"What the hell was that?"

Kankuro stood dumbfounded.

"It looked like a streak of golden light!"

Temari guessed.

High above on the tree branches.

Gaara was already in a blind rage.

He had to defeat Sasuke; he had to completely crush this guy who dared to lay a hand on him!

Gaara felt that not killing Rock Lee had been a regret, but Sasuke had to die!

As a Possessed Body, Gaara was already a bit beyond Sasuke's league.

"You are such an eyesore!"

"Die!"

"Sand Burial!"

Gaara's killing intent erupted.

Sasuke felt a threat that far exceeded anyone his own age.

This was a level of killing intent he hadn't even encountered during the Chunin Exams—it was the kind Gaara could only unleash when he was completely unrestrained!

"Chidori!"

Lightning flickered on Sasuke's hand, the sound of a thousand birds chirping in unison.

Boom!

The battle erupted once more.

Speed was power, but against such absolute volume, speed seemed insignificant!

What's more.

There was someone even faster here!

When Sasuke rose again, his body was already injured, his hands dripping with blood.

"You're too weak! Sand Shuriken!"

Gaara pressed his advantage.

Yet, at that very moment, a streak of golden lightning tore through the forest.

The Rampaging Lion's Mane, which hadn't been dispelled, was also coated in Lightning Style chakra.

Naruto was blindingly fast.

"Rasengan!"

Let the official battle begin.

First, let me serve Gaara a delicious meatball!

In an instant.

Gaara's sand defense was shattered.

Naruto struck with unstoppable momentum.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The forest was filled with Naruto's shadow clones.

Sasuke looked around, feeling as though they were endless.

Gaara was the one who had truly witnessed the battle between Naruto and Neji.

In his eyes, the strongest in Konoha wasn't Sasuke, nor was it Neji—it was Naruto!

"Shadow Clone Shuriken Jutsu!"

All shadow clones simultaneously threw a shuriken.

In mid-air, they transformed into thousands of shadow clone shurikens!

"Nani!"

Sasuke was shocked.

He had only been recovering and training for a month, and Naruto had already become this strong!

"You are indeed stronger than him."

Gaara was completely protected by sand.

"Even so, you can't break my absolute defense!"

Gaara was still immersed in his own world.

"Absolute defense?"

"The last person who said that has already lost!"

Naruto formed a brand new Rasengan in his hand.

He had practiced it hundreds and thousands of times.

He attempted to integrate lightning chakra into the Rasengan.

Electric light roared at extreme speed.

A Rasengan with a radius of over one meter illuminated the forest, which was darkened by the shadow clones blocking the sun.

It also caused both Sasuke's and Gaara's eyes to change simultaneously.

"Thunderstorm Rasengan!"
