Then Kill Them!

Kankuro's eyes turned red with rage as he endured the pain and struggled to stand up!

His legs were obviously still weak, trembling unsteadily!

Luckily, Temari supported him from the side, allowing him to steady himself!

"Kankuro!"

"Forget it!"

"Forget it?"

"How could I?"

"I want this brat dead!"

Ignoring Temari's advice, Kankuro gritted his teeth and glared at Naruto as he removed the thing from his back!

"You're actually using Crow?"

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Sakura and Sasuke instantly appeared at Naruto's side.

It was not that they were worried about him. Mainly, Konohamaru was still in his arms!

"If they're confirmed enemies, then kill them!"

Sasuke stared at Kankuro as Lightning-natured chakra began gathering in his hand!

Sakura clenched her fists, releasing killing intent as she locked onto Temari!

If she dared make any unusual move, Sakura's fists would be ready to greet her at any time!

"Stop!"

Whoosh!

A dark-ringed-eyed boy carrying a gourd suddenly appeared between both sides. With his arms folded, he stared at the three members of Team 7!

"Kankuro, put it away!"

"Gaara, but..."

"I said... put it away!"

Gaara's voice was already filled with impatience, even carrying traces of killing intent!

Kankuro shuddered in fright and hurriedly put Crow away!

With a flick of his wrist, the chakra in Sasuke's hand instantly dissipated!

"I thought you weren't coming down."

"Weren't you tired from standing in that tree for so long?"

"The problem is, he was standing upside down. Wouldn't all the blood rush to his head?"

Sasuke's words were still fairly normal, but Sakura and Naruto were a little strange. Anyone who did not know better would think both sides were friends. Why were they so concerned about him?

What?

The three of them... had actually all noticed Gaara?

Are these... Konoha's Genin?

Temari was shocked. Just now, even she had not known where Gaara was, only that he was nearby!

Kankuro's pupils shrank slightly, and he began to panic. It seemed like... they had kicked an iron plate!

"You... are very interesting!"

"No, you're the interesting ones!"

"When you come to someone else's village, you should behave like guests!"

"You dared seize the Hokage's only grandson the moment you arrived, and your attitude was so arrogant. I have to say, you really are quite interesting!"

Sasuke's tone was slightly mocking, but then it abruptly changed as he asked with overflowing killing intent.

"But... don't you know that this can very easily get people killed?"

Damn!

Not only was it an iron plate, it was a titanium alloy steel plate!

Kankuro was practically about to cry. Fuck, if you grab some random kid off the street and he turns out to be the Hokage's grandson, you should have said so earlier!

This was serious now. If that kid went back and told the Hokage, then...

If the Hokage got angry and revoked Sand Village's qualifications, what would happen to their mission?

Kankuro had not forgotten that they had come to Konoha this time with a mission to carry out.

Gaara did not think as much as Kankuro did. He had never cared about missions or anything like that!

All he cared about was whether he would encounter delicious blood on this trip!

At that moment... he felt that the three people before him looked quite promising!

"Your blood should taste very good!"

"I really want to have a taste!"

With a sickly expression, Gaara licked his lips and looked at the three of them with a faint green gleam in his eyes!

"Little panda!"

"What kind of look is that?"

Naruto was highly sensitive. Naturally, he was displeased at being looked at by Gaara like that!

"Are you treating us as prey?"

"Then you'd better have the strength for it!"

"I have to say, your two teammates are way too weak!"

"You..."

Naruto's words infuriated Kankuro. What did he mean, they were too weak?

He pointed at Naruto, so angry that he could not even speak. Temari, on the other hand, remained very calm!

Even after Naruto mocked her like that, there was no sign of discomfort on her face!

From the moment Sakura locked onto her and she felt the killing intent Sakura had released!

She knew that this girl was no simple opponent. If even the girl on the team was like this, then the other two boys could not possibly be weak!

So she said nothing in response to Naruto's words, because she herself was not confident that she could handle this girl!

Are Konoha's Genin all like this?

Temari could not help feeling worried, wondering whether her village's plan would succeed this time.

"I never rely on others!"

"Them being trash is their own business!"

"I only care about myself. I am the Shura who loves only himself!"

"Your blood—I will definitely taste it!"

"At the Chunin Ninja Exams, I'll be waiting for you!"

After saying that, Gaara turned to Kankuro and Temari and coldly ordered!

"Go!"

"Gaara..."

Kankuro was still unwilling to let it go and wanted to say something more, but Gaara swept him with a cold glance!

"Didn't you understand what I said?"

"Go! Otherwise... I'll kill you!"

Temari grabbed Kankuro and stopped him from saying anything further!

Watching the three depart, Naruto's expression grew somewhat grave. He did not care about the other two, but that little panda...

"That little panda... has very strong killing intent!"

"We don't need to be afraid, but the others..."

"When the time comes, we should warn them!"

Sakura and Sasuke had sensed it as well. The three of them were now especially sensitive to killing intent!

The killing intent on Gaara's body surpassed even theirs after three straight months of killing!

They could not imagine what kind of life this person had lived to possess such intense killing intent!

They had originally thought the three of them were already twisted enough, but they had not expected someone this terrifying!

"Looks like our teacher was actually rather merciful to us!"

"Yeah, we need to work even harder. We can't underestimate anyone!"

"Sasuke!"

"That little panda—do you think you can handle him?"

"Yes. You can too!"

"Remember, what does killing intent prove?"

"We've experienced so much. We should have this confidence!"

"Our teacher is the strongest. As his disciples, at the very least, we must be the strongest of our generation!"

"If we can't do that, we'll be disgracing our teacher!"

"It would mean denying all our previous efforts. He's just one Gaara. If you're afraid, I'll deal with him when the time comes!"

Sasuke looked at the two of them seriously as he spoke. That was what he truly thought as well.

If he could not even become the strongest of his generation, how could he take revenge?

"Tch, stop talking big. You're not the only one who's our teacher's disciple!"

"We went through everything you did. If you can handle him, so can we!"

"Sasuke, I've already caught up to you!"

Naruto looked serious. He now believed he was no weaker than Sasuke.

"Hehe..."

"I'm not bad either. I'm no longer the Sakura I used to be!"

"I've long since completed my transformation. I'll bloom with the most dazzling light that belongs to me!"

The three members of Team 7 were each more confident than the last, and none of them was willing to admit defeat!

Besides, their teacher had said that if they could not even get through the Chunin Ninja Exams, they need not keep following him!

All three knew that their teacher always kept his word. They did not dare relax in the slightest over anything he said!
