Chapter 43: Three Punches, Terrifyingly Powerful!
Kankuro was directly scolded by Gaara like that, losing all face.
Just as he wanted to retort...
...a massive vibration came from the ground.
Outside the Forest of Death.
"What's happening? Why is the entire ground shaking!"
Anko Mitarashi was completely bewildered.
An earthquake?
"Quick, report to Hokage-sama!"
Anko immediately prepared to have someone report to the Third Hokage.
"No need, I'm already here!"
But in the next second, the Third Hokage appeared directly in front of everyone, his expression equally serious.
"Third Hokage, this is...?"
Anko was a bit confused about what exactly was happening in the Forest of Death.
To this, the Third Hokage was all too familiar.
From the very beginning of the exam, he had been using the Telescope Jutsu to observe every move in the Forest of Death.
Therefore, the Third Hokage knew everything Byakuya was doing in the forest.
It was just that Byakuya hadn't harmed the Konoha Ninjas; he had only taught them a lesson and snatched their scrolls.
To put it simply, he was relying on his own strength to stomp noobs in the Forest of Death.
The nature of it wasn't that bad.
"Let me see what this kid is doing now!"
After activating the Telescope Jutsu, the Third Hokage was instantly dumbfounded.
"This is...!"
In the image, Byakuya was seen controlling an entire section of the forest, rushing toward a certain location.
"Hiss, has Byakuya's strength already become this terrifying?"
The Third Hokage was shocked by the scene in the image.
You should know, Wood Release was originally much more difficult than other Kekkei Genkais.
But Byakuya could skillfully use Wood Release to perfection!
"Byakuya's talent is truly terrifying!"
The Third Hokage lamented.
"Hokage-sama, should we step in to stop him?"
Anko said, somewhat unable to bear it.
The strength Byakuya displayed was simply too great, so great that none of the candidates were even a match for him in a single exchange!
"No, Byakuya's behavior hasn't violated any exam rules."
The Third Hokage waved his hand and said.
It was clear he was biased toward Byakuya.
Soon, Byakuya, riding a sea of trees, completely surrounded Gaara's trio.
"What a coincidence, for us to meet here!"
It must be said that Gaara and his team were a bit unlucky.
"Do you want to snatch our scrolls? We can give them all to you!"
It was hard to imagine such words coming from the mouth of the arrogant Gaara.
So much so that even Kankuro couldn't believe it.
Gaara's expression as he looked at Byakuya became increasingly solemn.
He knew he absolutely couldn't be a match for Byakuya, even if he summoned the One tail.
He probably wouldn't even last three moves against Byakuya.
And for some reason, Gaara instinctively feared that sea of trees beneath Byakuya's feet.
"Scrolls? I don't care much for those things!"
Byakuya shook his head, his gaze directed straight at Gaara.
He had already collected all the scrolls just by catching a few teams.
"Then what is your goal?"
Gaara now felt very passive; facing Byakuya, he didn't even know how to resist.
"How about this, I'll give you a chance."
"In three seconds, I will attack your brother and sister. Let's see who you can protect then!"
Byakuya suddenly thought of a game full of wicked humor.
"Hmph, you're the one killing them; what does it have to do with me?"
Unexpectedly, Gaara replied without a hint of hesitation.
His expression was full of indifference.
"Wait, Gaara, are you serious?"
Temari looked at what Gaara said with a face of disbelief.
Did she, his sister, have no place at all in Gaara's heart?
"What a cold and heartless man!"
After a sigh of lament, Byakuya immediately began to control the sea of trees beneath him to attack in the direction of Temari and Gaara.
The branches on the trees turned into thorns and shot toward the two of them.
"Wind Release: Sickle Weasel!"
Temari pulled out her Giant Folding Fan, wanting to repel all the attacks.
But how could Byakuya's Wood Release be so easily broken?
Just a few thorns had already forced Temari to use up all her energy.
And Kankuro was much more unlucky.
High EQ: Puppet-style Ninjas are not good at close-quarters combat.
Low EQ: He's too bad!
Kankuro didn't even have time to use his puppet before a thorn pierced right through his thigh.
Luckily it didn't hit a vital spot, otherwise Kankuro would be saying goodbye to everyone in the next second.
"Kankuro!"
Temari's expression became anxious upon seeing Kankuro injured.
"Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel!"
Temari used all her strength, trying to block all these attacks."A pity, the power is still too small!"
Byakuya shook his head indifferently.
"Forbidden Secret Technique! Instant Hell Shadow Kill Formation!"
Byakuya, standing above the sea of trees, vanished instantly.
In the next second, Byakuya appeared behind Temari; if this palm strike landed, Temari would likely be unable to withstand it!
"Enough, let's stop here!"
A Shield of Sand appeared behind Temari, blocking the strike for her.
However, the Sand Shield also shattered on the spot, and Temari was sent flying by the shockwave.
At this moment, Gaara finally couldn't help but intervene.
"You can kill Kankuro, but this foolish woman is still useful!"
Gaara said, staring coldly at Byakuya.
Temari barely managed to stand up at this time, looking at Gaara in disbelief.
She hadn't expected Gaara to actually step in to save her!
But why was Gaara unwilling to step in to save Kankuro?
"Are you commanding me?"
Byakuya looked into Gaara's eyes, making Gaara subconsciously tremble.
In the next second, Byakuya suddenly appeared in front of Gaara.
"Sand Armor!"
Gaara hurriedly covered his entire body with sand, forming a hard armor.
But even such armor was shattered by a single punch from Byakuya.
Gaara himself was also sent flying.
Seeing this scene, Temari wanted to step forward, but she tripped due to her injuries and fainted on the spot.
After doing all this, Byakuya took the group's heaven and earth scrolls.
He left Gaara with nothing but the sight of his back.
"I will definitely... surpass you!"
Gaara said silently in his heart.
