"Screech... screech..."
Countless streams of surging sand gave off a piercing sound, like the footsteps of the Death God, closing in on Sasuke step by step!
Yet, faced with the attack from behind, Sasuke stood frozen in the arena as though his mind had been controlled. He simply stared blankly ahead without attempting to dodge!
Just as the sand was about to touch Sasuke's body!
Suddenly, a hoarse shout rang out across the entire arena!
"Sasuke, what the hell are you doing, you bastard!!!"
The sudden shout not only made Sasuke's pupils constrict, but also instantly drew the attention of the many examinees watching the battle from the stands toward its source!
Sasuke seemed to snap awake, his gaze suddenly sharpening!
Just as the sand was about to crash into him, his eyes shifted slightly, transforming into crimson three-tomoe Sharingan!
"Screech!"
As the sand reached out to seize him, Sasuke's face tensed, but with the Sharingan activated, he calmly evaded it!
Seeing this, Gaara's expression darkened slightly. He slowly raised one hand, controlling the sand as it instantly split into several arms that reached for Sasuke!
Yet even when facing several arms formed from sand, Sasuke was still able to dodge with ease, as though he felt no pressure at all.
After activating the Sharingan, Sasuke's performance was completely different from before, when he had faced sand that attacked on its own without being controlled!
His repeated, needle-threading evasions and precisely calculated footwork immediately made his performance shine in certain people's eyes!
Outside the arena, the examinees likewise turned their attention toward the source of the voice.
Naruto, wrapped all over like a mummy, stood straight on the platform. His face was filled with determination as he stared solemnly at Sasuke in the arena!
"Naruto..."
Sakura covered her little mouth
