Undercurrent of Konoha

A surging river rushed through the center of the Death Forest. When it encountered the tall tower, it turned a zigzag path and continued to flow forward mightily.

Wearing black clothes and a pale face, Gaara crossed his arms on his chest and sat horizontally on the only way to the central tower.

There were three scrolls placed in front of him, all of which were "Book of Earth".

Not far away, Kankuro and Temari were sitting by a campfire, keeping a safe distance from Gaara.

Compared to other competitors in the examination room, my younger brother is much more terrifying...

In recent years, nearly half of the ninjas who have died in Sunagakure Village died at the hands of Gaara.

The whole village was hiding from the plague, and would run away whenever it saw Gaara approaching.

In the face of Gaara's tyrannical strength, his father, the Yondaime Kazekage-sama, was helpless.

Sending Gaara to take part in the Chunin Selection Exam this time was undoubtedly a joke in the eyes of most people in Sunagakure Village.

Does Gaara need a mere chuunin title? Enough jonin died in his hands to form a reinforced team!

Only a few people in the village knew that Gaara actually had a deeper meaning when he came to Konoha Hidden Village.

In any case, after Gaara left Sunagakure Village, the whole village was as happy as the Chinese New Year. If it weren't for the kindness of the Yondaime Kazekage-sama, everyone would be eager to sing and dance.

(Of course, the most important thing is the fear that Gaara will suffer even more violent revenge after returning to the village...)

"Temari! Kankuro! Go check again, no one has been here for a long time!"

A cold light flashed in Gaara's opened eyes.

His eyelids were smeared with smoky black-purple oil paint to cover the thick dark circles under his eyes that had been formed due to lack of sleep for a long time.

I don’t know how long it has been since I last fell into deep sleep. A few months ago... half a year... or more?

Gaara only knew that every time he fell into a deep sleep, the chubby, insidious and cunning guy deep inside his body would take advantage and in a very short period of time, he could cause astonishing destructive power that could destroy a village.

Kankuro and Temari left in a hurry, fearing that if they walked a little slower, they would be in trouble.

Gaara watched the two people leaving, sighed softly, forced his sore eyes wide open, and stared at the blue sky and white clouds above his head in a daze.

Another part of the forest.

A battle is about to begin.

Nara Shikamaru tugged Akimichi Choji's scarf hard and pulled him out.

"Let go, Shikamaru! Are you two crazy! We will be killed by them!"

Akimichi Choji's legs and feet were so frightened that he struggled to escape from Shikamaru's grasp.

"Idiot! Although it is very troublesome, a girl jumped out of Ino. As boys, can we escape?"

Shikamaru looked at the ninjas from the three Sound Ninja Villages opposite with a solemn expression, completely different from his usual listless appearance.

Sack sneered: "If you don't want to die, get out of here - big fat pig!"

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Akimichi Chouji got up from the ground, his aura completely changed.

"What did he say to me just now? I didn't hear clearly..."

Shikamaru held his forehead with his hand, looking helpless. This reckless guy from the Sound Ninja Village actually said Choji's most taboo words, and this is really getting more and more troublesome...

In his heart, Inoye was gloating about his misfortune, knowing that a war was inevitable.

"Sakura, you will take care of them both - the Ino Shika Butterfly formation unfolds!"

Akimichi Choji jumped up and came to the front of the team, quickly forming seals with his hands.

"Ninjutsu! Doubling Technique!"

After a burst of green smoke, Choji's size increased by more than 10 times.

However, apart from the enlarged belly, his limbs and head did not change at all, making him look particularly uncoordinated.

"Following this is...Konoha's Fluid Technique-Meat Bullet Chariot!"

Before he finished speaking, Akimichi Choji's limbs and head retracted directly into his huge belly, and suddenly turned into a huge meat ball, directed at the Oto Ninja Village ninja Sak who just called him a "big fat pig" Rolled over.

"Little tricks..."

Sark stretched out his hands, and saw a black hole in each of his palms. Powerful sonic attacks erupted from the holes.

After setting up a defensive posture, Sack waited attentively for the huge meat ball to enter his attack range, and immediately launched a sonic attack.

At this time, the huge meat ball that Choji turned into suddenly jumped up out of thin air, instantly attracting the attention of the three Oto Ninja Village ninjas.

The most powerful white-haired ninja was about to rush over to support Sac, but suddenly stopped and stood there blankly. He then stretched out his hands to make a heart-shaped pattern above his head, looking particularly cute.

The black-haired female ninja couldn't figure out what was going on, and shouted to the white-haired ninja in surprise: "Toss! What are you doing?"

"Ninja Technique - Shadow Imitation Technique! Success!"

Not far away, Nara Shikamaru also raised his hands above his head, making a heart-shaped pattern.

There was a black shadow under his feet, and at the other end of the shadow was the sole of the white-haired ninja named "Toss".

"Ninja Technique - Body and Mind Transformation Technique!"

In the moment when the black-haired female ninja was stunned, Yamanaka Ino activated the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan, and her whole body suddenly fell to the ground softly.

The expression of the black-haired female ninja opposite suddenly changed wonderfully. She reached out and took out a shuriken from her ninja pouch, and pressed it against her throat: "You want to keep this girl named Akin?" If you want to save your life, just hand over the scroll obediently! Then leave!"

At this moment, Ino's spirit had completely controlled the body of the black-haired female ninja, and the memories in the opponent's mind were clearly visible to her.

The black-haired female ninja Akin was taken hostage, and the white-haired ninja Toss was restrained by the shadow imitation technique and unable to move.

In an instant, the situation completely shifted to Zhuludie's side, and there seemed to be no suspense about the outcome.

"hey-hey……"

Sak suddenly let out a cruel sneer, stretched out his hand towards the black-haired female ninja Ah Jin and launched a powerful sonic attack without hesitation!

Ah Jin was hit by the huge sound wave and flew more than ten meters away, hitting the tree trunk behind him heavily.

"W-wow!"

A large mouthful of blood spurted out from Ajin's mouth. The bones on his body were broken in many places. He lay weakly on the ground and could no longer stand up.

On the other side, Yamanaka Ino, who was unconscious on the ground, spit out a large mouthful of blood at the same time. His originally rosy face turned extremely pale, and he was obviously seriously injured.

"You are so naive... We never care about the life and death of our companions. Taking the Chunin Exam is just a pretense! Our real goal... is to kill Uchiha Sasuke!"

At this time, the white-haired ninja Toss felt that the restraints on his body began to loosen. Apparently, the duration of the shadow imitation technique was almost up.

"Only 5 minutes...it's really despicable..."

The situation reversed in an instant. One of the Pig, Deer and Die trio, who had already controlled the situation, was seriously injured, and the other two had exhausted their chakra. They were completely in an awkward position at the mercy of others.

"You bedbugs...no matter how many you have, it won't help..."
