The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

With a loud bang, the entire venue was once again shrouded in sand and dust.

When everyone regained their sight, Hyuga Neji was already lying on the wall in the distance...

"Finally, you're the only one left!!!"

After defeating all his opponents, Naruto Uzumaki turned his attention to Gaara, the last one remaining.

The reason for doing this is to prevent others from getting involved...

"Do you think you're guaranteed to win?"

Gaara noticed Naruto looking at him and a crazed expression appeared on his face.

"Didn't you say you were sealed away with a monster, just like me? Today, I'll show you what kind of monster is sealed inside me!!"

At this moment, Gaara was very clear that he would not be able to defeat Naruto Uzumaki on his own.

However, his naturally competitive nature makes him absolutely unwilling to admit defeat.

At that moment, the only thing he could think of was releasing the monster inside him...

"Ninja Art: Feigned Sleep Technique!"

Gaara's hands formed a hand seal, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

"Hahaha, I'm finally out!!"

Not long before Gaara went to sleep, a sharp voice rang out in the hall.

Then, everyone saw Gaara's body undergo continuous changes.

Tanuki hands, tanuki feet, tanuki tail, and finally, Gaara's body completely transformed into a gigantic tanuki...

"This is... a Shukaku!!!"

Seeing Gaara's transformation, even the usually composed Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was greatly alarmed.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary Chunin Exam.

But I never expected it to turn out like this...

In contrast to the Third Hokage, the others wore expressions of confusion.

Tailed beasts are top national secrets, so not all ninjas have the right to access them.

Naturally, I don't actually know that many people...

"What... what is this thing?!"

"That's right, I have a really annoying feeling."

Although they didn't recognize Shukaku, the aura emanating from it still made them very uncomfortable.

"Are they going to end the Chunin Exams? But..."

At this moment, the Third Hokage was also caught in a dilemma.

The shock brought by Shukaku was so great that, under normal circumstances, he would have ended the match without hesitation.

But today he hesitated.

It's nothing more than because of Minato Namikaze and Naruto's so-called 'older brother'.

Despite Shukaku's power, Hiruzen Sarutobi still believed he could defeat him.

However, Naruto's older brother is really too strange.

A powerful and monstrous individual.

Although they only faced each other once.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi even felt that the First Hokage might not be able to completely defeat him.

That person had previously ordered that the Chunin Exams not be stopped, and stopping them now would be tantamount to offending him.

That's why Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated...

Chapter 344 Naruto vs. Shukaku

"Anbu, set up the barrier! Kakashi, take the eliminated candidates out of the exam hall! Obito, you will be the referee for this exam. Chunin Exams, the competition continues!!!"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was hesitating, Minato Namikaze suddenly spoke up.

As the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato still possessed a certain level of prestige, even though he was not from this world.

Furthermore, with the help of Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake, who traveled from another world,

Therefore, if Shui Men wants to keep the game going, he can do it.

After hearing Minato's words, the Third Hokage hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, he still didn't step in to stop it.

The members of the Anbu exchanged glances, then began to carry out Minato's orders...

"Go up there! With your abilities, leading this battle will only make you die a horrible death!"

Obito Uchiha, on the other hand, jumped directly into the arena and then spoke to Hayate Gekko with a disinterested look.

"Trying to leave? Too late! You're all going to die here today!!!"

Before Gekko Hayate could answer, Shukaku spoke first.

After saying that, it disregarded the rules of the game, picked up its right hand, and slammed it directly at Moonlight Gale.

"The match hasn't even started yet, so you'd better just wait patiently!!!"

Shukaku's speed is simply too fast.

With its speed of Moonlight Gale, Dangdang had no chance of escaping its grasp.

Just as Hayate Gekko was about to die at Shukaku's hands, Obito Uchiha made his move!

Then, blue-green chakra began to emerge from Obito Uchiha's body.

Then the chakra quickly condensed and formed a blue-green skull, protecting Obito around him.

A skeletal arm also appeared on the skull.

That arm easily deflected Shukaku's full-force attack...

Shukaku was quite surprised to see his attack so easily stopped.

"This, this is impossible!!!"

When it looked up and gazed at Obito Uchiha.

Only then did they realize that Obito Uchiha's eyes had unknowingly transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"You'd better behave before I announce the start of the match, or you know what will happen!!!"

Obito Uchiha ignored Shukaku's fear.

His Mangekyou Sharingan stared straight at Shukaku, and he continued to threaten him.

"..."

As expected, Obito Uchiha's words calmed Shukaku down a bit.

If we're talking about what the Tailed Beasts fear most, it has to be the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan and the Wood Release of the First Hokage.

These two can be considered the natural enemies of the tailed beasts.

Faced with these two, the tailed beasts had absolutely no power to fight back.

Either you're suppressed, or you're controlled...

During this time, Kakashi Hatake, who had traveled through time, had already taken the disqualified contestants out of the competition venue.

Meanwhile, the Dark Guard has already set up a barrier...

"I hereby declare the match to continue..."

Seeing that everything was ready, Obito Uchiha announced weakly...

"Hmph, damn it! Even though that wretched ninja got away, killing you, you stinking fox, was worth it!!!"

Seeing that Obito Uchiha had announced the start of the match, Shukaku finally dared to continue shouting loudly.

"Yes, yes, I hope you get what you want!!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded and said seriously.

"I will definitely get my way, you die, you filthy fox!!"

Shukaku's shrill voice made everyone present very uncomfortable.

However, not a single person present left.

The reason is simple: ordinary people don't know about Shukaku's existence, so they are eager to see this monster and defeat the other monster in their village.

The ninjas, however, could not run away.

Because if Naruto were to be defeated, he would still have to fight the tailed beast...

"Ino, do you think Naruto can win?"

At this moment, Yamanaka Ino in the audience had already woken up.
