Shiranui Genma scratched his head helplessly, glancing at the match list in his hand.

The next match should be Sasuke versus Gaara.

He sighed, looking at the noisy crowd around him.

No matter what, the match had to continue.

"Next match, Uchiha Sasuke of Konoha versus Gaara of the Sand Village!"

On the sidelines, some Sand Village spectators started shouting.

They all knew Gaara's strength.

"Konoha brat, just surrender! Lord Gaara is very powerful!"

"Don't fight, or you might die!"

The Sand Village spectators kept yelling.

Amidst the anticipation, Gaara made a dazzling entrance, his large gourd on his back. His face was devoid of emotion, but his cute cat ears and tail instantly dispelled his stern demeanor.

Sasuke twisted his neck.

During the Genin exams, he had personally witnessed Gaara's power. Even someone as strong as the one who opened the Five Gates couldn't defeat him, so what confidence did he have?

He reached into his ninja pouch. At a time like this, it was best to unleash his ultimate move right away!

Gaara crossed his arms and said softly, "Surrender, or you'll die horribly!"

Sasuke sneered, a cunning glint appearing in his eyes. "Who wins and who loses isn't decided yet. Why jump to conclusions so early!"

As he spoke, he directly pulled a Screaming Chicken from his ninja pouch.

Gaara was greatly alarmed, a sense of fear rising in his heart.

"You're too strong, forcing me to use my trump card!" Sasuke's lips curled, and he slowly raised the Screaming Chicken.

"Ooh! Ooh ooh!"

In an instant, the sky darkened, clouds surged, and all the speakers around the arena seemed to have been hacked.

A melody began to play simultaneously.

"Beat You Too Beautiful, eh eh, eh eh! Beat You Too Beautiful, eh eh, eh eh! You're just too beautiful, eh eh, eh eh..."

The demonic backing track, paired with even more demonic dance moves, plunged the area around the arena into a deathly silence.

Gaara's cat ears, which could already amplify his hearing tenfold, were instantly brainwashed by the music. He stood there blankly, his eyes a dull gray.

After a moment, he twitched, his fists clenched tightly. A thought formed in his mind: kill Sasuke and leave no loose ends.

He let out a roar, and the right half of his body underwent a noticeable change.

Orochimaru frowned nervously.

This was definitely not what he wanted to see right now!

But if this continued, Gaara would eventually unleash Shukaku completely. What could be done?

He gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed.

After a full half-minute, seeing that Gaara on the stage was about to reveal his true form, he couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up, took out a pull-ring firecracker, and yanked it hard.

"One shot to pierce the clouds, a thousand horses will come to meet!"

The Third Hokage stood up hastily, feeling a strong sense of crisis at that moment!

In the spectator stands, Kankuro, who had already finished his match, suddenly exploded, wielding his puppets and releasing poisonous gas all around.

The sudden turn of events threw the entire spectator area into chaos.

The Third Hokage looked around nervously. In that moment of distraction, Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, inexplicably appeared behind him and held a kunai to his throat.

"Let's go, we'll go to the rooftop and enjoy the view together!"

The Third Hokage sneered, but now that he had fallen into his hands, he could only follow him to the rooftop.

"Teacher, look at Konoha's walls. Soon they will be breached!" Orochimaru tore off his disguise, licking his scarlet tongue as he said softly.

The Third Hokage was shocked and stunned. He slowly glanced at him, sighing regretfully.

"Orochimaru, you really didn't die. I truly regret letting you go back then; it was a colossal mistake!"

"Teacher, you're not wrong! If it were a mistake, I wouldn't be who I am today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from the edge of the village. A giant snake, several dozen feet tall, appeared, smashing through Konoha's outer wall!

In the center of Konoha, Wu Di quickly walked out of a small shop. Seeing the giant snake that had appeared before him, he raised his eyebrows in confusion.

He had clearly told Jiraiya earlier that a large group of Sand Ninjas were outside...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"How stupid of me!" he muttered. "How could I not have realized? With Jiraiya's kind of 'tadpole brain' constitution, he must have misunderstood again!"

"This is bad. Many ninjas will die soon, and that's all bright, shiny silver notes!"

In the woods, Jiraiya heard a sound and suddenly turned his head.

"Oh my god, when did this giant snake appear? How did I not notice it!"

He squinted his eyes and carefully observed the person standing on the snake's head.

"This brat, isn't that the one who was talking to me just now?"

"Hmph, trying to destroy Konoha right in front of me? Dream on!"

Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals and slammed his hand on the ground: "Summoning Jutsu!"

"Bang!"

Gama Bunta appeared, holding a pipe in its mouth!

The moment it appeared, it busily looked around and cautiously whispered.

"That kid isn't here, is he!"

Jiraiya patted its large head.

"Don't worry, he's taking the exam right now!"

"Whew!" Bunta let out a long sigh, its body immediately relaxing considerably.

Naruto had left too deep an impression on it.

"Bunta, there's a giant snake ahead, help me take care of it!"

Jiraiya squatted down and whispered.

Bunta snorted coldly, and its massive body suddenly leaped forward.

As it soared into the air, Jiraiya realized that a long bandage-like tail was fluttering from its backside!

On the roof of the exam venue, seeing Bunta in the distance, the Third Hokage relaxed.

"Just watch, Jiraiya will quickly deal with your ally."

Orochimaru gritted his teeth in hatred.

This damned Jiraiya, why did he have to return now of all times!

With him here, that giant snake was completely useless!

He whispered, "Teacher, don't worry. Even if that giant snake is useless, I will still win!"

"At the very least, I will kill you and then leave safely!"

The Third Hokage calmly asked, "Why?"

Orochimaru took a deep breath, looked into the distance, and said with emotion.

"Because... I have a trump card..."

As he spoke, he lowered the kunai in his hand.

"It's been too long since I fought you, teacher. Let's have a good fight this time, and it'll also show you if I've improved!"

Orochimaru said confidently, his hand already reaching for his ninja tool pouch.

Inside his ninja tool pouch, there were still two items from the scratch-off ticket store.

He was confident that with these two items, he would absolutely overpower the Third Hokage!

The Third Hokage calmly took two steps forward and turned back, softly asking, "Then how are you so sure you can win against me?"

"Teacher, you're still as confident as ever. However, this kind of confidence is destined to bring you defeat!"

He licked his lips and directly took out a Melon Grenade.

"In the end, I still have to thank your village's scratch-off ticket store for letting me win such good items."

"With this, teacher, you are bound to lose!"
