Chapter 159
Sasuke, however, remained expressionless, his hands quickly forming seals.
"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!"
Instantly, scorching flames transformed into a rolling fireball, fiercely roaring towards Temari!
Fire Release countered Wind Release.
Temari's Wind Release net, instead, became a boost for Sasuke's Fire Release; for a moment, flames swept across the sky along with the gale, increasing its range and power, completely encircling Temari.
"Damn it, that guy is really good at Fire Release, which is hard for me to deal with..."
Sasuke's face was full of confidence, as if he had already anticipated this outcome.
He even added a bigger fire starter.
"Fire Release! Dragon Fire Technique!"
The violent flames soared even higher, transforming into a giant fire dragon, howling towards Temari!
Baki also frowned, saying, "She's completely suppressed by the opponent..."
"Indeed, Temari, who only specializes in Wind Release, is still somewhat stretched when facing a power that counters her..."
Kankuro, however, said, "No, Temari won't be defeated that easily."
"Hm."
Sure enough, at that very moment, just when everyone thought Temari was about to surrender.
"Summoning Technique! Kamatari!"
Temari suddenly unleashed her most powerful Ninjutsu!
Immediately, a weasel appeared out of thin air, clutching a giant scythe, and unleashed a large-scale continuous slash forward!
The power of this move was enough to clear out an entire forest, cutting and slicing everything!
More importantly... this move could also create a vacuum environment, completely rendering Fire Release, sound, bombs, and other Ninjutsuineffective!
For Temari, this was also her last trump card, consuming a large amount of Chakra and energy.
But once unleashed, it could often reverse the situation and secure victory!
Indeed, in an instant, Sasuke's Fire Release was suddenly extinguished by this move, instantly reversing the previously dominant situation.
Furthermore, the terrifying power of Kamatari swept down, fiercely slashing towards Sasukehimself!
"Die!"
Temari roared.
Sasuke tried to block with a Kunai, but it was futile; in the next instant, his body was indeed violently slashed through!
"Sasuke!"
Naruto immediately exclaimed in surprise.
But the next moment, Sasuke's body once again transformed into a wooden stake, broken into two pieces, falling to the ground... "What? Was it a Substitution Technique?!"
"The real body is..."
Temari was greatly startled, thinking of Sasuke's method against Shino Aburame, and sharply looked back... But it was already too late.
Sasuke had already activated his Sharingan, crimson, blood-like pupil power (pupil power) bursting forth, and in his hand, he activated a dazzling and explosive powerful Lightning ReleaseNinjutsu... "Chidori!!!"
This strike pierced through the stars.
Temari was powerless to resist.
But Sasuke stopped short; the Chidori halted instantly right before Temari's throat.
He walked away, hands in his pockets, turning to leave.
"You lost."
Temari was helpless and dejected.
"The winner is, Uchiha Sasuke!"
The scene immediately erupted in an uproar.
"Nice job, Sasuke!"
Naruto patted his shoulder.
Sasuke snorted, "It's your turn next, Naruto."
"I'll be waiting for you in the finals."
"Don't get taken out by that monster!"
Naruto clenched his fist, full of confidence: "Don't worry, I'll take out Gaara first, then I'll defeat you with my own hands!"
"The champion of this Chunin Exams will definitely be me..."
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
Just then, Shiranui Genma also announced the final battle.
"Uzumaki Naruto, versus, Gaara!"
In an instant, the entire venue completely boiled over!
This was practically the championship battle!
Konoha's strongest, Uzumaki Naruto, against Sunagakure's strongest monster, Gaara!
At this moment, the clamor and noise reached a boiling point, with all eyes and expectations on them!!!
Chapter 128: Naruto VS Gaara! The Pinnacle Battle Erupts! Please give monthly votes!!!
In the center of the Chunin Exams arena.
A gust of autumn wind blew past.
Gaara stood with his arms crossed, his eyes still cold and ruthless within his heavy dark circles, as if he were not human.
He looked at Uzumaki Naruto opposite him, as if seeing his own opposite.
That guy... also stood with his arms crossed, but his face wore a confident smile, his eyes bright and full of spirit, radiating a brilliant light of life like the sun.
Gaara suddenly clenched his fists.
He detested Naruto's existence!
Because it seemed to prove that only he was in the darkness!
Or perhaps, it might just be pure jealousy!
"Uzumaki Naruto, you are indeed very strong, but precisely because of that, you are even more worthy of being killed by me!"
"I will kill you with my own hands to prove the value of my existence!"
Naruto snorted, "It's just a Chunin Exams, you bastard, all you ever talk about is killing, killing, killing. Is there anything else you can do besides kill people?"
"Don't you have any friends in Sunagakure?!"
This sentence immediately made Gaara's face even more unsightly!
"Bastard—"
"I will tear you to pieces!"
The battle hadn't even begun, but Gaara's body erupted with terrifying malice, hostility, and killing intent, which had completely permeated the entire venue, sending shivers down everyone's spines and making them feel horrified!
All the spectators felt suffocated, a dreadful aura washing over them!
It was hard to imagine what Naruto, who was directly in its path, must be feeling... Baki said in a deep voice, "Damn it, Gaara, that guy, is becoming increasingly difficult to control his malice..."
"If this continues, I'm afraid he'll completely lose control before the plan even begins..."
Temari and Kankuro exchanged glances, whispering.
"Then what should we do?"
Baki said, "Gaara is one of the keys to this operation, there can be no mistakes. We'll act as the situation dictates; if absolutely necessary, even if we have to start the plan early, we must cooperate with Gaara's outburst!"
"Yes, I understand..."
Shiranui Genma also sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Gaara.
He couldn't help but turn pale, but he still professionally announced.
"Battle start!"
If Gaara were in a calm state, he would most likely wait for the enemy to attack first, using his absolute defense to probe their abilities.
However, at this moment, facing Naruto, he was increasingly close to losing control!
He uncharacteristically made the first move.
"Sand Shuriken!"
Immediately—
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!!!
Gaara roared, suddenly raising both hands!
Countless grains of sand transformed into Shurikenharder and sharper than steel, fiercely shooting towards Naruto!
Naruto remained calm and composed, snorting with a smile, "He's really an impatient guy!"
He instantly dodged left and right, easily avoiding all the Sand Shuriken.
Then he immediately counterattacked, firing off a volley of Shuriken.
But Gaara didn't dodge or evade; his automatic sand defense instantly blocked all of Naruto's attacks.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto directly activated the Shadow Clone Technique, but he didn't create too many Shadow Clones, only seven or eight were released as a test.
Gaara possessed terrifying large-scale attacks, so too many Shadow Clones wouldn't be very useful against him; they would simply be easily destroyed by the opponent, wasting his own Chakra.
The current Naruto was not just the hothead from the original story.
Although his Chakra reserves were large, he still had to be meticulous, especially since Gaara, his opponent, was also a monster with enormous Chakra reserves!
"Wind Release! Gale Palm!"
Naruto's main body and half of his Shadow Clones simultaneously unleashed their most proficient Wind Release Ninjutsu.
Both hands clapped together—
Clap!!!
A violent Gale immediately roared forth!
And the other half of the Shadow Clones frantically shot out countless Shuriken!
In an instant, Naruto's most skilled Wind Release Ninjutsu, combined with his perfectly coordinated Shuriken Technique, erupted simultaneously. The Gale howled, carrying countless Shuriken, their speed and power surging, as they shot towards Gaara!
The power of this single strike alone already surpassed almost all Genin!
Even Chunin would find it extremely difficult to resist!
Gaara's expression also changed slightly.
But his sand still automatically began to defend, blocking the vast majority of the Shuriken.
However, there were still some that slipped through.
