When everyone was preparing to eat, the first batch of "guests" arrived at the "banquet" venue outside Tower.
It is the trio of Sunagakure - Gaara, Temari, Kankuro.
After several quick exchanges of offense and defense, the two sides distanced themselves tacitly.
The three Gaara retreated to the edge of the clearing under the shade of Forest of Death. Gaara was in front, and Temari and Kankuro formed a triangle defense formation on both sides of him.
Gaara's face was expressionless, and the sand around him was flowing slowly; Temari held the unfolded Three-Star Fan, looking alert; Kankuro took back Puppet, but his fingers were still resting on Scroll behind his back.
Sasuke, Neji, and Tenten quickly retreated and merged with Naruto, Shikamaru and other rear personnel to form a complete front again.
Sasuke closed Sharingan, panting slightly, but his eyes were still sharp.
He turned his head and looked at Naruto, who was standing at the front of the team with a calm expression, and whispered:
"The red-haired one is not as strong as we thought."
After the brief head-on confrontation just now, Sasuke made a preliminary judgment.
Gaara's sand defense and sand control abilities are indeed tricky, and its attack methods are heavy and strange enough, but it does not seem to show an overwhelming advantage in terms of speed, flexibility, and attack penetration.
Especially in one-on-one situations, Sasuke feels that he has a certain degree of confidence in defeating the opponent.
"Hmm."
Naruto nodded, indicating that he heard Sasuke's judgment.
I hope these three people will be wise enough to go in soon.
Kankuro looked at Shikamaru.
"We meet again. You guys were so embarrassed when you ran away just now!"
"Haha."
Faced with Kankuro's provocation, Shikamaru just put his hands in his pockets and laughed out loud "hehe" without even bothering to raise his eyelids, with no intention of responding at all.
This kind of disregard made Kankuro even more angry than directly scolding him.
Seeing Shikamaru's attitude, Kankuro became even more angry and raised his voice to continue taunting:
"Aren't you going to run away this time? You should be wiser! Get out of here, we are about to enter Tower!"
Seeing that Shikamaru didn't reply, Kankuro continued to taunt.
I don't want to give up my face, but I still want to kick my nose.
Naruto pulled out Wooden Sword from Ninja Tool Pouch and hung it on his waist.
He looked at Kankuro.
"You are Kankuro, right, the son of Fourth Kazekage Rasa. The other two are your Older Sister Temari and younger brother Gaara, right?"
He directly revealed the identity of Kankuro, and also pointed out the relationship behind him.
Kankuro was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to know his details so well.
Before he could react, Naruto had already made combat arrangements and issued instructions in a clear voice:
"Gaara Leave it to me."
He pointed at the red-haired Young Naruto and glanced at Temari and Kankuro.
"You can do whatever you want with the other two, just don't beat them to death."
He said this in an understatement, as if he was assigning some insignificant task.
Finally, he added the goals of the action:
"Give Sunagakure some face, throw these young men and ladies from Kazekage into Tower and let them enter the third round of exams."
He paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"The remaining Sand Ninja will be eliminated."
After the words fell, Konoha everyone's eyes froze, and their fighting spirit instantly rose!
You are not afraid of a single fight, let alone a group fight?
Naruto bent down suddenly and quickly opened his two trouser legs with both hands.
I saw two Weighted Bands tied around his calves.
"Solution!"
Naruto gave a low drink, and quickly brushed his hands over Weighted Bands, and the two Weighted Bands fell instantly.
The moment the burden is lifted.
"Whoosh!"
A stream of air visible to the naked eye exploded from all around Naruto.
His figure suddenly became blurry and elongated in everyone's sight.
So fast!
This is the thought that arises in the hearts of everyone who sees this scene at the same time.
Almost at the same time as the weight landed, Naruto's figure appeared in front of Gaara as if teleporting.
There was originally a distance of more than ten meters between the two people, but it seemed to have been spanned by one step!
For the first time in Gaara's light cyan eyes, there was a clear look of astonishment and a hint of lag that was too late to react.
The sand around him surged instinctively, trying to form a defense, but the speed... seemed to be a bit slower.
Naruto raised his foot and kicked Gaara away, then rushed into Forest of Death and continued to pursue Gaara.
This sudden change completely shocked Temari and Kankuro.
Their eyes were still fixed on the moment when Naruto unloaded his weight and then disappeared in blur. Their brains did not even have time to process the information that Gaara was kicked away.
When they realized what happened, they suddenly turned their attention to the direction where Gaara flew out.
A Young Naruto voice with a touch of sarcasm sounded leisurely behind Kankuro:
"Where are you looking?"
It's Sasuke Uchiha.
Kankuro suddenly wanted to look back.
However, it's too late.
"Fire Release·Phoenix Flower Claw Crimson!"
Boo hoo hoo--
Dozens of Shuriken wrapped in hot Flames, like blooming death impatiens, spewed out from Sasuke's mouth with a sharp sound of breaking through the air and scorching heat, instantly covering all possible dodge space behind Kankuro!
Flames illuminated Kankuro's expressionless face.
Temari opened the Three-Star Fan fan and flew out Shuriken who was attacking Kankuro.
At this moment, Mind Body Switch Technique of Ino Yamanaka also hit Temari.
Not good!
Rock Lee rushed a few steps and came to Kankuro.
"Li, the opponent's body is inside the bandage, attack the bandage he is carrying."
Neji reminded.
Among Forest of Death, Gaara could barely parry the uninterrupted attacks of Naruto.
Taking advantage of this moment, Nine-Tails communicated with Shukaku's consciousness through Shukaku Chakra that escaped from several weak points sealed in Gaara's body.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, isn't this a stinky civet cat? I haven't seen you for decades, why are you so angry?"
The appearance of Nine-Tails made Shukaku, who was already violent and attacked the seal, even more violent.
"Stinky fox, it's you indeed! I guessed that I might run into you before I came here, but I didn't expect you to show up so quickly. Also, I'm not a civet cat, I'm a raccoon dog (he)!"
Feeling the Shukaku inside her body becoming more and more noisy, Gaara covered her head in pain.
"Mother, soon, I will give you the blood you want soon, ah!"
Because Shukaku is endlessly noisy, Gaara gets very little rest, and his mental aspect is also greatly affected!
Seeing this opportunity, Naruto used Wind Pressure Pull to blow away the sand, and then immediately deployed two Scroll to restrain Gaara.
On the way back carrying the struggling Gaara, Naruto patted Gaara's back expressionlessly.
Okay, okay, I will give you a good sleep after this Chunin Ninja Exams.
Unexpectedly, Gaara, who was photographed, made the scene even more violent.
Haha, are you so uncooperative?
Then little Calabash Boy, you better not sleep.
