I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Even someone as shrewd as Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but entertain such absurd thoughts.

"Compared to five years ago,"

"You seem to have gotten weaker?"

However, what struck me in stark contrast was the whisper that was right next to my ear.

Such an inquiry is utterly ironic!

Even with his stable mind and strong heart, he couldn't help but feel a great sense of humiliation at this moment.

Getting weaker?

He is still in his prime and has never missed a day of training, so how could he possibly become weak?

However, Sarutobi Asuma could not find any reason to refute such a negative evaluation.

Because of the limitations in strength imposed by the opponent's age and bone age, they have experienced an explosive surge in strength over the past few years!

This is definitely not because I've become weaker.

Rather, it was the opponent's progress in strength that had completely surpassed, or even utterly crushed, their own growth!

Through the dazzling flames, Sarutobi Asuka gazed with a complex expression at the black pupils that had lost their crimson hue.

This guy really didn't use the Sharingan's inherent genjutsu abilities, or even the Sharingan's most basic observation abilities. He was fighting against himself entirely based on his own combat awareness and physical abilities!

【Uchiha Arakawa, just who are you?】

The question echoed in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask myself it.

However, Sarutobi Asuma was no ordinary person after all, and his identity as the Third Hokage gave him a unique sense of pride.

After using his double-edged sword to parry and deflect the flaming blade, he immediately stepped back to create distance between them and regain his footing.

'Zheng.'

And accompanied by a sound like an amplified buzzing of a bee, two sharp chakra tail flames suddenly extended from the edge of the ninja tool he was holding.

Its sharp and light appearance is just like the wings of a swallow!

It's no wonder that this pair of specially made chakra ninja tools is called Flying Swallow.

"Very well, let me experience the skills of Chief Huang."

Having steadied himself and calmed his mind, Sarutobi Asuma adopted a fighting stance in response, and his words no longer regarded the former as a young junior, but as a true clan leader!

His gaze was solemn, his breathing calm.

He had devoted his entire being to the other person.

Of course, if he could, he would not want to get into a fight with such an unpredictable guy in front of the village genin.

Because regardless of the outcome, it would be a pointless spectacle for outsiders to laugh at.

But if they choose not to fight, will the opponent still be fixated on Uchiha Sasuke? Will they still insist on placing the responsibility for what happened five years ago on him?

There's no need to even ask themselves; given the Uchiha's determined nature, they would inevitably choose to do this.

Therefore, he had no choice but to accept this direct confrontation in order to buy his companions time to break free from the Sharingan illusion!

"bring it on!!"

Gazing intently at the person in his field of vision, Sarutobi Asuma once again took the initiative to challenge him.

That taut, robust body was as immovable as a mountain, perfectly formed by nature!

This time, he would not underestimate them.

This time, he will reaffirm the lineage of Sarutobi!

"as you wish."

While Asuma Sarutobi was on high alert, Ara casually swung his sword, and the flames enveloping the blade suddenly diminished and were replaced by a strong wind.

[Uchiha Style Swordsmanship: Gale Sword!]

Looking up again, it was already pressing down on the elite Jonin who bore the name of Sarutobi and the name of the Twelve Warriors of the Land of Fire!

Swords and blades have no eyes.

[If we were to eliminate or cripple this guy, what would become of old man Sarutobi?]

At this moment, a dangerous thought accompanied the sharp glint in the boy's eyes.

"Kankuro, in the second trial, should we follow our teacher's orders and take the initiative to make contact with the Uchiha clan and get to know him?"

At the same time, witnessing the rapid changes in the entire situation, Temari's heart also underwent a tremendous transformation.

The most direct manifestation is in language.

From initial confusion and resistance, to amazement at the sudden insight, to the inexplicable anticipation when the other party attracted four Jonin powerhouses, and finally to going with the flow and overturning all previous resistance.

This was certainly not entirely due to orders from the teacher or that man.

There was also a bit of naivety in his heart.

After all, as the eldest daughter of the Fourth Hokage and the little princess of Sunagakure, she was naturally proud and admired strength.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Ara, who is the same age as her, has already shown a level of strength that makes her heart flutter!

If one's future is destined to be a political sacrifice, then at least the former can outweigh 99% of the other possibilities!

"I do not know."

Kankuro's expression was very unnatural in response to his sister's question. After a moment of silence, he gave this answer.

Because they simply don't know how to answer such a question.

However, there is no doubt that the opponent is very strong, stronger than himself, stronger than his teacher, and probably even stronger than Gaara in his normal state!

"If we can meet during the trials, then..."

After much deliberation, he gave a vague answer.

"He's my prey!"

But at this very moment, right now.

An extremely cold and unyielding voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Without any sense of hierarchy or willingness to discuss, the speaker directly declares ownership of the target person.

Upon hearing these words, both Temari and Kankuro were immediately startled.

Such a statement is tantamount to declaring that one's own superiors are trying to win over, pushing them directly to the opposite side!

However, in this brief moment, they had already witnessed Uchiha Arakawa's strength and potential.

Moreover, this is someone my father was willing to risk offending Konoha to get in touch with, directly representing the will of the entire Sunagakure leadership. How can we allow the former to act recklessly and destroy things?

"Um, Gaara, that guy is an important figure the village has their eye on, not someone we can just give up on easily, so, let's proceed according to..."

Sensing the sudden outburst of madness from his younger brother, Kankuro exchanged a quick glance with his older sister before bracing himself to explain.

I wanted to dispel those terrifying thoughts.

However, before he could finish speaking, an extremely dangerous glint of light abruptly cut him off!

Such eyes resemble those of a wild beast; just looking into them sends chills down your spine.

"Shut up."

Gaara stared coldly at his own brother, his voice devoid of any emotion or respect.

They might even treat strangers worse!

“But I love Luo, that was an order from the village.”

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

In that brief moment, Kankuro had already forgotten how he withstood the other's gaze and aura to utter those words!

As a ninja, one must prioritize the orders given from above and place the interests of the village above all else.

"If you also want to become its food, I can grant your wish."

However, such words did not seem to awaken Gaara's rationality; instead, they repeatedly trampled on his bottom line and his attitude of patience.

Even more cruel words came out.

The killing intent emanating from him was clear and chilling.

[This isn't something you can just easily give up on?]

Such a description is simply too harsh and too ridiculous!

When I, as the son of the Fourth Hokage and a ninja of Sunagakure, was being assassinated by my own ANBU, an outsider was described as someone who could not be abandoned and needed to be treated with utmost seriousness!

【Why? 】

What gives them the right to do this?!

[Can anyone tell him, on what basis?!]

Why is it that I'm the only one in this world who has to be treated like this?!

As soon as he thought of this, Gaara's aura became more and more violent and uncontrollable. Half of his light green pupil also changed at this moment, gradually evolving into the shape of a four-pointed star.

Upon seeing this, Kankuro's face suddenly turned pale, and he involuntarily staggered backward.

It was as if I had seen something unspeakable and taboo.

"Gaara!"

At this dangerous moment when the situation suddenly became delicate, Temari, the older sister, suddenly cried out.

Upon hearing this, the little guy, whom Sunagakure called the absolute defender, slowly shifted his gaze away from Kankuro.

"No."

"He is your brother."

As Temari gazed at her younger brother, whose strength was terrifying but whose temperament was severely flawed, her expression subtly shifted.

But she still tried her best to make her voice calm and normal.

"Humph."
