Chapter 401 Gaara Gets Beaten Up in Turns (Three Chapters Combined)
January is coming to an end.

The past two weeks have been a period of great upheaval in the ninja world.

First is Sunagakure.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was severely injured, and Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, was captured.

If Kitazawa and Naruto hadn't intervened in time, Chiyo and Gaara would have been in trouble too.

News of Naruto's defeat of Sasori quickly spread throughout the ninja world.

Secondly, there's Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

Kirigakure has two Jinchūriki: Yagura Karatachi, the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, and Usagi, the Jinchūriki of the Six-Tails.

The Akatsuki sent four members to capture them, and after a fierce battle, both Jinchuriki were captured.

Finally, there's Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village).

After being captured by Kitazawa, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, was traded back to Iwagakure.

However, due to his existing conflict with Onoki, he left Iwagakure once again.

He was captured by the Akatsuki organization this week.

Akatsuki's continuous efforts to capture tailed beasts have completely exposed their purpose and raised the alert level of all the major ninja villages to the extreme.

While protecting the Jinchūriki, they also prepared for war.

However, no ninja village was willing to be the first to take the lead.

In particular, none of them knew the organization's specific strength.

As a result, all the major ninja villages frantically sent intelligence agents to gather information on the Akatsuki organization.

Only Konoha Village, due to Kitazawa's orders, chose to remain inactive.

The excitement in the ninja world did not affect the ninja academy.

The gifted students continued attending classes as usual.

The only difference is Naruto Uzumaki.

His current fame is so great that it makes Sasuke Uchiha and others feel envious.

Konoha Village's Forest of Death.

Kitazawa is currently practicing Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.

A moment later, footsteps sounded.

"Lord Kitazawa."

Anbu ninja Antelope bowed slightly and said, "I just received a notification from Dean Yakushi Nonou that Gaara has woken up."

"I see, you go down."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

After the antelope left, he immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Kitazawa entered Konoha Hospital and quickly arrived at Gaara's ward.

Before he even entered, he sensed a terrifying killing intent.

Kitazawa casually pushed open the door.

Gaara was tied to the hospital bed, struggling desperately with his eyes wide open in despair.

That murderous aura was directed at the pharmacist, Nono, who was treating him.

Upon seeing Kitazawa, he turned to look at him, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

"Nonou-senpai, leave this to me."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

Yakushi Nonou nodded and turned to leave.

"You want to kill me? I went through so much trouble to save you."

Kitazawa met Gaara's gaze and spoke calmly.

"I live only to kill!"

Gaara said in a distorted voice.

"So, you're very confident in your abilities?"

Kitazawa remained calm and asked in return.

"Of course!"

Gaara said without hesitation.

"Then how did you get beaten up like this? Even Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, was taken out."

Kitazawa asked the pointed question.

"..."

Gaara's expression froze, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Your strength is nothing."

Kitazawa chuckled and said, "There are quite a few people your age in Konoha who can defeat you."

"impossible!"

Gaara said without even thinking.

He had nothing to say about losing to Scorpion.

After all, he was stronger than him in both strength and combat experience, and he also had the Third Kazekage as his helper.

But he simply doesn't believe that his peers are better than him.

He was virtually invincible among his peers in Sunagakure.

To be more precise, apart from Rasa, no one was his match.

What if you lose?

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Kitazawa asked.

"If you lose, you can do whatever you want with me!"

Gaara said without hesitation.

"very good."

Kitazawa stepped forward and released him.

"Where are they?"

Gaara immediately got out of bed, stood up, and asked impatiently.

"You've just recovered from your illness, so to be fair, I'll help you restore your chakra first."

Kitazawa extended his hand.

Gaara was taken aback.

Help me restore my chakra?
But the next second, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

An immense amount of chakra enveloped him, giving him the illusion of facing a tailed beast directly.

A thought immediately popped into Gaara's mind: this person is even more powerful than Rasa.

A question suddenly occurred to him.

As a Jinchūriki, he also knew that a Jinchūriki would die after losing their Tailed Beast.

But why didn't he die?
As Gaara pondered, he sensed that this chakra was very familiar.

He realized it immediately.

For the past two weeks, a surge of chakra has been flowing into his body every day.

Now it seems that this chakra belongs to Kitazawa.

"Why did you save me?"

Gaara asked, puzzled.

You'll soon find out why.

Kitazawa withdrew his hand and said, "Come with me."

Gaara frowned slightly, but followed him.

The two arrived at the ninja academy quickly.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Naruto glanced at Gaara and asked, "Are these our new classmates?"

Yamanaka Ino and the others also looked at it curiously.

"Not yet."

Kitazawa replied, then instructed, "Sakura, go and call Sasuke here."

Uchiha Sasuke has been at home getting familiar with and mastering the Mangekyou Sharingan, so he hasn't come to class.

"Ok!"

Sakura Haruno immediately turned and ran excitedly.

“He calls him Gaara, Naruto, why don’t you spar with him?”

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"no problem!"

Naruto immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Gaara, let's have a battle full of youthful energy!"

"Ridiculous!"

Gaara said coldly, "I will kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Kurama Yakumo and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Kitazawa didn't stop it.

After all, I love Rome and I will pay a heavy price for his harsh words.

The members of the genius class retreated to both sides, leaving the playground to Gaara and Naruto Uzumaki.

"The battle begins."

Kitazawa announced.

Gaara raised his hand with a cold expression.

All the sand from underground surged out.

At that moment, he was stunned.

Crimson chakra shot into the sky.

Naruto Uzumaki stood still, and six tails appeared behind him.

"Kyuubi Jinchuuriki?"

Gaara felt a jolt in his heart, sensing a dangerous aura surging from all directions.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Naruto Uzumaki roared, and more than two thousand shadow clones appeared.

"...?"

Gaara's face immediately showed a question mark.

As a Jinchūriki, he overwhelmed other ninjas in Sunagakure by relying on his large amount of chakra.

But he never expected that one day he would be crushed in terms of chakra.

Gaara didn't have time to think and immediately waved his hands.

Because Naruto Uzumaki and his shadow clones are shouting that youth has rushed in.

Centered on Gaara, sand formed shuriken, which then flew outwards.

"Wind Release Shuriken!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately responded.

The countless shuriken collided.

But Wind Release: Shuriken was superior, tearing apart the Sand Shuriken and heading straight for him.

Sand Shield!
Gaara instinctively formed a strong defense around himself.

The Sand Shield, also known as the Absolute Defense, comes from his mother, Karura, and can automatically defend itself under normal circumstances.

"Spiral pills!"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his hand without hesitation and smashed it down.

The shadow clones nearby followed closely behind.

Boom!
The dozen or so Rasengans left the Sand Shield riddled with holes.

Sand bound coffin!
Gaara's expression changed drastically, and he quickly raised his hand, aiming it at Naruto Uzumaki.

Countless grains of sand rose from the ground, trying to envelop him.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Only by eliminating the main body can we deal with these countless shadow clones.

"Konoha Dragon God!"

Naruto Uzumaki reacted quickly and immediately started spinning.

As soon as the sand got close, it was swept up by a huge, blood-red dragon.

"what?"

Gaara's pupils trembled.

"Konoha Dragon God!"

Seeing this, the other shadow clones also stopped being polite.

Countless green dragons spun and charged toward Gaara.

"It's so miserable."

Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said.

"Indeed."

Neji Hyuga agreed.

"But Gaara's strength is indeed quite good, no wonder he was so arrogant just now."

Kiba Inuzuka looked at Gaara, who was struggling to persevere, and said...

"The gifted class has no shortage of talent."

Tian Tian chuckled softly and said.

"This is true."

Sakura Haruno's voice rang out.

"Who is fighting Naruto?"

Sasuke Uchiha asked with some confusion.

"He calls me Gaara. He was brought here by Kitazawa-sensei. I don't know anything else about him."

Yamanaka Ino explained.

"But he was quite confident before."

Kiba Inuzuka winked and said, "He also said he wanted to kill Naruto."

"is it?"

Sasuke Uchiha's gaze sharpened, and he said, "It doesn't look very good."

"I guess you'll be sparring with him later."

Nara Shikamaru thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, Kitazawa-sensei wouldn't have let you come."

Just as Uchiha Sasuke was about to speak, he heard a loud bang.

Gaara was sent flying by the impact.

Just as he was about to land, another giant dragon crashed into him.

For a moment, he was flying around in mid-air.

"Their defensive capabilities are decent."

Sasuke Uchiha said with some surprise.

He was well aware of the destructive power of the Leaf Dragon God.

If it were someone else, they would have been torn to pieces long ago.

"His body is protected by a special layer of sand."

Hyuga Neji activated his Byakugan and said.

"But he can't hold on for long."

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.

"Cracks have already appeared."

Hinata Hyuga also activated her Byakugan.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kitazawa appeared directly in front of Gaara. Upon seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki immediately stopped spinning and released Konoha Dragon God.

Kitazawa used a teleportation technique to arrive at the edge of the playground.

Gaara, now free, plopped down on the ground, panting heavily and looking utterly shaken.

“Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it’s not fair for you to face him.”

Kitazawa reached out to help him heal, saying, "I'll give you another opponent, her name is Kurama Yakumo."

Gaara paused for a moment, but then realized that what he said made a lot of sense.

In his view, Naruto Uzumaki only defeated him because he had more chakra.

"Yakumo, you spar with him."

Kitazawa stood up and said.

"Okay, Kitazawa-sensei."

Kurama Yakumo was somewhat surprised, but he still walked into the arena.

Gaara took a deep breath, looked at her, and felt much more relaxed.

Because the suffocating feeling caused by that massive amount of chakra was gone.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Konoha Village only had one Jinchūriki, and that was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

"Do you think he can resist Yakumo's illusions?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked curiously.

"He doesn't have that ability."

"Uchiha Sasuke said with certainty."

Only after awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan did he realize just how outrageous Kurama Yakumo's genjutsu truly was.

That's why he hadn't been able to break her illusion before.

Of course, he's not that afraid now.

Because he already possessed the same level of genjutsu bloodline limit as Yakumo Kurama: the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"There's no need to discuss it anymore, Gaara has already fallen under a genjutsu."

Tayuya looked at Gaara, who was standing frozen in place, and spoke.

Kaguya Kimimaro shook her head.

He saw his past self in Gaara.

And the result was similar to his; although he was indeed capable, he was still a long way from being a true genius.

"A one-sided battle."

Yamanaka Ino sighed.

"After all, it's Yakumo."

Sakura Haruno chimed in.

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile.

In his opinion, of Yakumo Kurama's three illusions, only the illusion technique Shinsei was slightly inferior.

Both the terrifying illusions and the magical five senses are comparable to the Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique.

Without Shukaku, Gaara was naturally no match for Kurama Yakumo.

The battle is over.

Yakumo Kurama dispelled the illusion.

Gaara collapsed to the ground again, his entire body covered in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

He subconsciously looked at Yakumo Kurama and felt a sense of fear.

Because of his previous threats, Yakumo Kurama didn't hold back and directly used the Horror Illusion and the Magical Five Senses.

Gaara was in a terrible state in the illusion, getting completely beaten up.

"Gaara, as they say, things shouldn't happen more than three times. I'll give you one more chance."

Kitazawa stretched out his hands to treat him, saying, "Next, you will spar with Sasuke."

"..."

Gaara was no longer as irritable as before.

After being brutally beaten twice, he realized that the students in the genius class were all extraordinary.

"Sasuke."

After Kitazawa finished the treatment, he shouted.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke walked into the arena.

Gaara clenched his fist, stood up, and looked at him.

"I won't use illusions against you, lest you accuse me of bullying you."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

Gaara frowned immediately.

This guy seems just as arrogant as him.

He snorted coldly and raised his hand without hesitation.

Countless grains of yellow sand surged forth, forming a gigantic hand that reached out to grab Uchiha Sasuke.

"Too slow."

Sasuke Uchiha activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and easily dodged the giant sand hand.

After he drew Thor's sword, he immediately accelerated.

Gaara was startled.

What's wrong with those eyes?

Gaara instinctively summoned sand to form a defense in front of him, but he was still a step too slow.

Hatake sword technique!
Sasuke Uchiha pierced Gaara's heart with his sword.

But it didn't pierce through because he had sand armor, which meant his entire body was covered in sand.

Lightning Release: Chidori Blade!
Uchiha Sasuke immediately formed a hand seal with one hand.

In an instant, a piercing bird cry rang out, and lightning spread along the Thunder God Sword, piercing through Gaara's Sand Armor.

Fresh blood seeped out.

Gaara screamed in agony and flew into a rage, manipulating all the yellow sand to surge towards Uchiha Sasuke.

"A useless move."

Sasuke Uchiha disappeared before his eyes.

Gaara was momentarily stunned.

He subconsciously looked around.

The next second, a violent fluctuation of chakra came from behind him.

Gaara quickly turned around and saw Uchiha Sasuke.

Yin Release: Rasengan!
Without hesitation, Sasuke Uchiha raised a giant Rasengan and smashed it into his back.

It was too fast; Gaara couldn't react at all.

Fortunately, the sand from his mother, Galura, instinctively protected him.

Even so, he was still knocked away.

Gaara landed on the ground, feeling a burning pain in his back.

"You lost, Gaara."

Sasuke Uchiha raised his hand, and the dazzling lightning on his hand emitted a piercing sound.

Gaara's defense is strong, but it's not absolute.

Of course, the decisive factor was Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Gaara's every move was seen through by him.

With the addition of the spatial teleportation brought by Tenjō Ritsūzō, Uchiha Sasuke easily defeated him.

"How can Sasuke teleport?"

Sakura Haruno's eyes widened as she asked.

"Could it be the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked, looking shocked.

"It's not the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Nara Shikamaru paused for a moment and then said, "But it should be some kind of space-time ninjutsu."

"Sasuke actually learned space-time ninjutsu?"

Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but ask, "When did he learn that? How come I didn't know?"

"His eyes aren't the three-tomoe Sharingan, but they look even more powerful than the three-tomoe Sharingan."

Shino Aburame discovered the key point and couldn't help but say something.

"It's the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of my lifelong rival! What a troublesome youth!"

Although he hadn't fought it yet, he could already imagine how troublesome this space-time ninjutsu, similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique, must be.

However, the stronger Uchiha Sasuke became, the more excited he became.

What is the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Chino asked curiously.

Her Blood Dragon Eyes were as famous as the Sharingan, but she had never heard of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"The advancement of the three-tomoe Sharingan."

Naruto scratched his head and said, "I don't know the specifics either."

"So the three-tomoe Sharingan can advance to a higher level?"

Kiba Inuzuka paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "You guys are really perverts!"

Hyuga Neji instinctively clenched his fist.

He is now completely behind Uchiha Sasuke.

Although the Byakugan provides a 360-degree field of vision, it is difficult to react to sudden spatial shifts.

Besides that, there's also the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan, which he probably wouldn't be able to handle either.

Why didn't the Byakugan advance to a higher level?

Hyuga Neji suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

If it weren't for the Feather Bow given to him by Kitazawa, the gap between him and Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki would be even greater.

Kaguya Kimimaro also felt powerless.

His Corpse Bone Pulse is completely at a disadvantage against the Mangekyou Sharingan.

As for Tayu, she has already given up.

Since they can't win anyway, it doesn't matter whether Uchiha Sasuke gets stronger or not.

"The sparring session is over, everyone go back to training."

Kitazawa clapped his hands and said.

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

The students from the genius class left one after another, including Sasuke Uchiha and others.

"how?"

Kitazawa walked up to Gaara, stretched out his hands, and began to heal him again.

"..."

I love Luo and was speechless.

“The three of them are all about your age.”

Kitazawa added.

"I lost, so you can do whatever you want with me."

Gaara said expressionlessly.

"Starting tomorrow, you will go to school with them."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

"what?"

Gaara thought he had misheard, his face full of astonishment.

"What? Are you going back on your word?"

Kitazawa countered with a question.

"I won't break my promise."

Gaara paused for a moment, then said, "I'll come to school tomorrow."

[Current Mission: Get Gaara into the genius class.]

[Mission Reward: Mastery of Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation.]

[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]

Kitazawa looked at the three lines of text in front of him and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Currently, he is only lacking mastery of Earth Release and Fire Release chakra nature transformations.

I wonder if new abilities will emerge after mastering all seven chakra nature transformations, such as creating Truth-Seeking Balls by hand.

"Let's go."

Kitazawa stood up and said, "I've arranged a place for you to stay. I'll take you there now."

Gaara nodded and followed him out of the ninja academy.

In less than three minutes, the two arrived at a two-story house.

"To make it easier for you to go to school, we found you a place to live nearby."

Kitazawa took out his key and opened the door.

Gaara followed him into the living room without saying a word.

He didn't have any particular requirements about where he stayed, so he remained silent throughout.

Kitazawa didn't say anything more when he saw this.

Once Gaara gets to know Naruto and the others better, his personality will naturally change.

After all, his original personality wasn't bad; he was just driven half-mad by Luo Sha's bizarre test.

"take a good rest."

Kitazawa handed the key to Gaara and said with a smile, "See you tomorrow."

He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already at the Dark Army base.

Kitazawa now visits the Anbu every day.

The main reason was the fear of missing Akatsuki's operations.

Kitazawa casually picked up a document from his desk and started reading.

He raised an eyebrow, sensing some surprise.

This is because the Akatsuki's operation to capture the Tailed Beasts has failed for the first time.

However, it's understandable that their attempts to capture the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, failed.

But ultimately it's Kitazawa's butterfly effect.

Due to the change in the timeline, the Hidden Cloud Village placed Yugito and Killer Bee under centralized protection.

With the help of ninjas such as the Fourth Raikage A, they were able to repel the Akatsuki members.

Kitazawa stroked his chin.

At this rate, the Five Shadows Conference should be just around the corner.

After all, the five great ninja villages quickly realized that a single village could not defeat the Akatsuki.

But Kitazawa will not participate in any Five Kage Summit.

He put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and went to the Forest of Death to cultivate.

the next day.

Gaara arrived at the Ninja Academy on time.

After Kitazawa announced that he had joined the genius class, Naruto and the others accepted him as well.

However, Gaara couldn't adapt to it right away.
