The alleyways of Konoha.
The two sides were not buildings, but wooden planks arranged like fences, slightly higher than a person, with a narrow alleyway in the middle.
The wind blowing through the alley brought a bone-chilling cold.
Sakura and Naruto had almost never seen Sasuke like this before, and they both stood there stunned, a bead of cold sweat appearing on their foreheads.
At this moment, Sasuke had already awakened his Sharingan, and his appearance was incredibly ferocious, filled with killing intent and tyranny, even comparable to Gaara in his berserk state.
Seeing Sasuke in this state, Gaara frowned slightly, not expecting Sasuke to be so similar to him.
Sharingan...
Kimimaro stood there calmly, completely ignoring Sasuke's ferocious expression and insane killing intent, only glancing at his glasses with slight surprise.
"Just Sharingan with Futatsudomoe? As expected, it can't compare to Uchiha Itachi."
"Don't you dare mention that name in front of me!!"
Sasuke hearing Kimimaro mention Itachi again, Sasuke could no longer suppress his murderous intent and charged directly at Kimimaro with a furious roar.
Seeing Sasuke rushing towards him, Kimimaro's gaze was indifferent, as if he were looking at an ant, and he walked directly towards Sasuke.
Whoosh!!
The Setsuna the two passed each other, a dazzling light seemed to flash suddenly, and Kimimaro's figure seemed to transform into a phantom, appearing behind Sasuke in a flash!
Sasuke's body was pinned to the ground by dozens of long bone spikes, making it difficult for him to move.
Although none of these bone spurs pierced his body directly, their intertwining rendered him immobile, and no matter how desperately he roared, he could not break free from the hard bone spurs.
All of this happened almost in an instant!
" Sasuke!!"
Although Sasuke looked extremely ferocious and terrifying, Naruto still showed a hint of worry. No matter what Sasuke became, he was still his comrade, and he couldn't just ignore him.
Seeing Sasuke defeated by Kimimaro in an instant, Naruto broke out in a cold sweat, looking at the boy in front of him, who looked to be about their age, with disbelief.
How can this guy be so strong?!
On the other side, Gaara, though not sweating profusely, had a flicker of surprise in his eyes, clearly indicating that Kimimaro's speed had also exceeded his expectations.
"What... are these?!"
At this moment, Naruto and Sakura had already run to Sasuke's side and were helping Sasuke try to pry open the bone spurs, but they were unable to do so at all.
In desperation, Naruto took out a Kunai and slashed hard, trying to cut the bone spikes in half. But to his horror, the Kunai struck the bone spikes but could not cut them at all. In fact, the Kunai itself became strangely bent!
At this moment, Sakura finally realized what these bone spurs were. A look of horror appeared on her face, and she even withdrew her hand and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"These... these things are bones?!"
These words sent a chill down the spines of the entire audience.
Even Kankuro and the others felt a chill run down their spines, as if a piercing coldness spread throughout their bodies, and a look of horror appeared on their faces.
"Damn it! You bastard!!"
Sasuke Uchiha struggled fiercely but couldn't break free. He gritted his teeth and said to Kimimaro, "How do you know that person?! What's your relationship with him?!"
He is my rival.
Kimimaro looked at Sasuke calmly, with an air of superior indifference, and said, "His strength is very, very strong. He is an opponent I acknowledge, and one I want to defeat. As for you... I thought that as his younger brother, you couldn't possibly have anything outstanding about you, but now I'm quite disappointed."
So disappointed, so disappointed, so disappointed...
The last word echoed in Sasuke's mind, making Sasuke expression almost ferocious. At this moment, he even thought of what happened that night, and what Itachi had said to him, "You don't even have the right for me to kill you."
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!
Under intense stimulation, Sasuke closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, a pair of Sharingan with Mitsudomoe appeared!
Naruto and Sakura, who were closest to him, didn't notice the change, but Kimimaro did. He showed a slight surprise but still shook his head, realizing that Kimimaro was still far inferior to Itachi.
Even if Sasuke were to be further stimulated, it would be impossible for him to reach Uchiha Itachi's level in an instant. Moreover, he found it difficult to withstand the Mitsudomoe Sharingan. After activating it, he fainted after only a few breaths.
Seeing Sasuke so easily defeated by Kimimaro, a hint of fear flashed in Gaara's eyes, but more so, excitement and madness.
Only by killing such an enemy can he feel his own existence!
"You're here to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams too?" Gaara's voice seemed to exude a chilling excitement as he looked at Kimimaro ahead.
Kankuro and Temari, standing behind, couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling that they shouldn't stay there any longer.
" Amegakure, Kaguya Kimimaro."
Kimimaro looked at Gaara, whose expression was one of excitement and ferocity, and spoke calmly, while slightly frowning. Why were they all acting like madmen?
The calmness of Uchiha Itachi, his grasp of every detail of the battle, and his unflappable attitude were almost entirely absent in Sasuke. As for Gaara, he seemed even more insane than Sasuke.
On the contrary, Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki beside him, although a bit weak and a bit stupid, seemed to be fairly normal.
"Even though the exam hasn't started yet, I can't wait any longer..."
Gaara grinned with a chillingly excited expression, his eyes fixed menacingly on Kimimaro. Sand began to flow from the gourd behind him, gradually spreading through the alleyway.
Kimimaro in the center of the field, showing no fear of Gaara's threat.
Whoosh!!
The next instant, Gaara's sand surged wildly towards Kimimaro, intending to engulf Kimimaro and crush him into dust.
However, when faced with Gaara's sand, Kimimaro simply waved his hands, and two bone spikes suddenly pierced through his arms, easily scattering the incoming sand with a wave of his Kimimaro.
"Sand? That's interesting."
Kimimaro snorted, then suddenly stretched out his hands and flung them at Gaara.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
A series of popping sounds, like popping beans, exploded on Gaara's body. A chilling finger bone burst out from Kimimaro's finger, piercing through the sand Gaara used for defense!
