I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

For some reason, Sakura, who was there, was trying to persuade the two of them.

And this time.

Strands of light appeared in the air in an instant!

Moment!

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari all tensed up.

Then the lines slowly gathered and condensed into a figure right in front of Naruto.

"Shigure!" Naruto was stunned for a moment, even though it wasn't the first time he had seen Shigure's Body Flicker Technique.

Every time I saw Shigure's instantaneous form, it was quite amazing, especially this time, when countless tiny lines appeared from all directions, gathering very slowly.

It was as if they were deliberately making people see these strange flows clearly.

After Shigure appeared, he simply nodded to Naruto and then came to Konohamaru.

Looking at the wound on Konohamaru's knee, the kid must have run too fast and bumped into Kankuro. Kankuro, being a ninja, was naturally unharmed, but Konohamaru was sent flying.

This injury must have been sustained from a fall.

Sakura stepped forward and offered to treat Konohamaru, but Shigure pointed to Konohamaru's knee.

Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted, wrapping around Shigure's arm and coiling towards Konohamaru's knee.

The art of healing!

As the flow continued, the wound on Konohamaru's knee visibly healed.

Sakura stared blankly at Shigure.

'What kind of healing ninjutsu is this?'

'Such amazing therapeutic effects?'

That's pretty impressive!

Such amazing therapeutic effects are even more powerful than the Palm Cultivation Technique.

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari's expressions grew even more serious upon witnessing this scene.

They had seen healing ninjutsu before, but the number of people being treated, coupled with Shigure's previous entrance, was something else entirely.

All of this undoubtedly indicates that he was a rather powerful ninja.

"What's your name?"

Gaara asked.

However, Shigure suddenly turned her head slowly, just for a glance.

The sand in Gaara's gourd instantly surged out, surrounding Gaara for automatic protection!

It was just a glance.

Chapter 128 The Chunin Exams Are About to Begin

When Goara's sand surged out, Temari and Kankuro immediately drew their weapons.

With just this one move, Shigure gently waved his left hand!

Click, click, click! !

At the same time, the two felt a terrifying chill spreading from the soles of their feet.

And when the two looked down at their feet...

It was only then that I realized that my legs had been completely frozen without me noticing.

Moreover, the ice was still spreading up my legs while I was asleep.

At that moment, the two of them looked up at Shigure.

The chill emanating from Shigure caused frost to gradually appear on the surrounding ground.

A thin layer of frost had already appeared on the hilt of the sword that lay horizontally behind Shigure.

"You'd better not move!"

As Shigure's voice rang out, Temari and Kankuro's foreheads were already covered in cold sweat!

"You just asked me what my name is?" Shigure turned to Gaara and said calmly.

"You should say your own name before asking someone else's name!"

"Gaara!" Gaara stared intently at Shigure, his intuition telling him that if the person in front of him wanted to attack him, he might not be able to withstand the attack.

That ice! It was extraordinary.

Shigure nodded. "Moonlight Shigure!"

Upon hearing Shigure's name, Gaara silently repeated it to himself; he knew he had to remember it well.

"Alright! Now what!"

Shigure looked ready to play along with whatever Shigure wanted to do next, but Gaara pointed at Temari and Kankuro and asked, "So, can the jutsu on them be removed?"

"Of course!"

Shi Yu smiled, and without forming any hand seals, the ice gradually disappeared.

After both of them regained feeling in their legs, Temari immediately assumed a fighting stance, while Kankuro jumped away from Shigure.

Shigure had already turned to Sasuke and Naruto and said, "Let's go!"

The two took one last look in Gaara's direction before leaving with Shigure.

Sakura and Konohamaru are also included.

After the group left, Temari finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What a terrifying guy!"

"When did he tamper with us just now?"

"Was it when he appeared?"

Temari was still reflecting on what had just happened; it made absolutely no sense!

When did Shigure form the hand seals and release the ninjutsu? She didn't see it at all.

Kankuro's expression turned serious. "Is this guy also a Konoha genin participating in this exam?"

As he spoke, he looked at Gaara and said, "Gaara, were you about to make a move? It's a good thing you didn't. If you had controlled the sand directly, we probably would have both been frozen in place!"

However, Gaara suddenly said calmly, "The sand is not under my control!"

It's not under your control.

The two were stunned for a moment. What did this mean? Was it still being controlled by that guy?

How can this be?

Suddenly, the two of them froze. Gaara's sand was automatically protecting him, not being controlled by Gaara. Did this mean that the other party had already attacked Gaara just now?

No wonder they both fell for each other's tricks without anyone noticing.

"Ice? The opponent must be a bloodline limit ninja!" Kankuro glanced at Gaara.

Just like Gaara.

"He said his name is Moonlight Rain!"

"Isn't that the Konoha genin who defeated the rogue Kirigakure ninja Momochi Zabuza, the one we mentioned before? The Konoha genin that Momochi Zabuza called a demon!"

After Temari finished speaking, Gaara's gaze became even colder.

Demons or ghosts?

Killing you would only prove my worth even more!

Gaara thought to himself.

After walking for a while with Sasuke and the others, Shigure looked at Sakura and asked, "Sakura, will you participate in this Chunin Exams?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura nodded. "I'll participate too. Although I study medical ninjutsu, I'm also capable of combat. My teacher has arranged for me to team up with two ninjas!"

Shi Yu nodded.

Because of his own actions, Sakura avoided two years of detours, but he also caused her to lose two powerful teammates, Naruto and Sasuke.

The Chunin Exams might be a bit difficult for Sakura.

"Come join us when the exam starts! You're a medical ninja, so combat-type tests are too unfair to you!"

Sakura was surprised to hear this, as it was Shigure's invitation.

Only an idiot would disagree!

"But I already have a partner, my teacher arranged..."

"Let's go together then! You just met Gaara, and I'm worried that guy might target you and use you to get revenge on us!"

After Shigure said that, Naruto and Sasuke immediately had no objections.
