Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Shinto pulled out his camera, looking down with anticipation. He was going to take lots of pictures. He had been in the ninja world for so many years and had seen many battles between people and between people and beasts, but he had never seen a battle between tailed beasts.

Gaara is constantly bombarded with a bedtime story by the fat cat, so of course he'll be different...

This is a rare opportunity!

The main reason is that, apart from Konoha, other villages only have two tailed beasts each, and both are the village's nuclear weapons, sealed tightly. They simply don't allow their village's tailed beasts to stay together. Moreover, the relationships between tailed beasts are very complicated. Not every one of them has as many grudges as Fat Cat and Kurama. No, or rather, Fat Cat has many grudges against every tailed beast he encounters. The other tailed beasts, after all, don't have Fat Cat's mouth as foul as his, calling everyone "little brother." When Gaara met Karin's mother, if it weren't for Karin's mother's pureblood vortex protecting her, the Seven-Tails, Chomei, would have almost broken free of its seal and attacked it with a burst of power.

However, verbal sparring between the tailed beasts is inevitable.

After that incident, Rasa never dared to let Gaara go to his house to see Karin again. That fat cat was all talk and no action; if he got beaten up by the Seven-Tails, it would affect his youngest son...

"Grand Uncle, that's outrageous! You didn't take any pictures when I went on stage!"

When Karin saw Masato take out his camera, she thought he was going to take a picture of Gaara as a memento, and she immediately became unhappy that he didn't take a picture of her when she went on stage.

"That's because your opponent is too weak. Even if you film it, it won't make the headlines. This blond kid is different. Don't let his weak appearance fool you. This kid is just like your mom and Gaara. It's going to be a very exciting fight later."

Masato chuckled as he talked, snapping away with his camera.

"puff!"

"Teacher, are you saying this kid is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!"

The other kids didn't quite understand, but Maki did. His heart pounded, and he couldn't help but worry about Gaara.

The reason is the same as Temari's: Kurama has eight more tails than One-Tail!

Who knows if a single tail can cover it?

"(⊙_⊙)? Temari and the others all know, but you didn't? Kankuro, didn't you tell Baki?"

Maki's appearance stunned Shinto as well; it seemed he genuinely didn't know that the Savior was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

When Kankuro was defeated by the Savior, didn't Gaara already recognize the Savior's identity as a Jinchuriki?

What's the situation now?

Moreover, when he turned to look at the calm Rasa, it seemed that Rasa was also unaware of the savior's identity.

"No, I haven't seen Professor Maki for the past few days..."

Kankuro was a little sad. After being defeated by that blond brat, Karin and her group looked down on him. He had thought he would receive comfort from his teacher, but he only met Maki-sensei today.

"...I had some business to discuss with Lord Kazekage recently, and I never expected that this brat would actually be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Maki explained when he saw Kankuro's pitiful look.

Because their teacher had told them that Orochimaru might come to Konoha to cause trouble during the Chunin Exams, he and his boss had been speculating about Orochimaru's intentions and casually discussing whether to take advantage of the situation to raid Konoha. That was the real issue.

Who has time to care about something as trivial as the Chunin Exams?

Besides, it's not a big deal that Kankuro was defeated. Kankuro is the son of the Kazekage, so his stats are relatively high, but he's not exactly a genius. He might be considered one of the top talents in his own village, but outside of the village, Kankuro's strength and talent aren't that great. He's certainly not as good as Onoki's beloved granddaughter and disciple in Iwagakure. So it's not surprising that Kankuro was defeated.

I never expected to have such a coincidence. The other person was actually the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and in the final exam, he was Gaara's opponent.

"Alright, calm down. Gaara isn't as weak as you think, and that brat isn't as strong as you think. Although he has the Nine-Tails inside him, the Nine-Tails' power is immense. And this brat doesn't have a good relationship with the Nine-Tails, so he can't withstand much of the Nine-Tails' power. It's not certain who will win."

Seeing Maki's worried expression, Masato said nonchalantly.

Just kidding, the current Gaara is completely different from the one in the original work. In the original work, Gaara was terrified of that fat cat, but now he's his grandfather Shukaku... Although this title makes Shinto's teeth ache, it doesn't seem wrong when you think about it. The fat cat is old enough to be Gaara's ancestor, which shows how good the fat cat's relationship with Gaara is.

Fat Cat completely treats Gaara like his own child. Because of this relationship, Gaara can easily summon Fat Cat to fight. However, the Savior obviously doesn't have this ability. In fact, the Savior doesn't even have a Nine-Tails living inside him yet. Even if he could unleash the power of the Nine-Tails, it would only be unconscious power. Moreover, with the Savior's current strength, he can only support four tails at most, and he can't support any more than that.

998. Is this really Minato's son?

While it's true that the One-Tailed Fox is weak, the Nine-Tailed Fox, which only reveals four tails and has no power of its own, is unlikely to cause any harm to Gaara, who is being protected by the fat cat.

So Shinto isn't worried at all. However, analysis is one thing, but the outcome is another. After all, Gaara is a healthy kid now, and he doesn't need the savior's verbal attacks at all. It's hard to say how much power the savior can unleash without his verbal attacks.

......

However, when the exam started, things went pretty much as Shinto had predicted. The savior, who didn't have much to offer, had no tricks up his sleeve except for summoning a few hundred minions. He was constantly being outmaneuvered by Gaara, and before he could even unleash his signature Rasengan technique, Gaara was already grinding him to the ground.

He was no match for Gaara at all. After all, the difference in their strength was too great. Even without the power of the fat cat, Gaara was still a Jonin-level fighter, relying solely on his mother's love. The Savior was far inferior to Gaara in both combat experience and strength. When the Savior finally had a chance to summon a clone to prepare for the Rasengan, Gaara slapped him with a sand slap, destroying the clone. The Rasengan was interrupted halfway through its formation, and then Gaara unleashed a barrage of sand attacks.

The savior may not be good at fighting, but he's incredibly experienced at being beaten. Thanks to the powerful vitality and stamina of the Uzumaki clan, he remained energetic even after being humiliated by Gaara for half an hour, completely outshining everyone. With Gaara's precise strikes, an ordinary person would have been finished long ago.

But even now, apart from being bruised and battered, and probably not even recognizing his own mother if she were to come back to life, this brat is still alive and kicking, showing no signs of having been beaten up for over half an hour. This sight even made Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others feel a pang of toothache.

It's not because the Kazekage's youngest son is so powerful, but because Naruto is just too damn bad.

Kakashi was a bit better off, after all, he was Naruto's mentor and had seen Naruto fight a few times, so he wasn't surprised. But Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Sakumo Hatake, who knew who Naruto's parents were, were seeing Naruto fight for the first time. His dog-like movements made their teeth ache. Was this really Minato's son? If it weren't for the strong life force inherited from Kushina that kept him going, even Sakumo Hatake would have doubted whether he had been switched at birth.

That's fucking amazing!

Kazekage's youngest son is indeed very talented, but Minato's son shouldn't be this bad, right?

You know, back then, even before Minato mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, it was incredibly difficult for him to lose even once! How come this kid got so easily beaten?

Minato's talent goes without saying, and Kushina was also a genius seal master, as confirmed by Lady Mito. How come their child is so unlucky? Although their math teacher died young, he knew the principle that positives make positives, and had never heard of positives making negatives. Today, Naruto has shattered their understanding.

"...Third Hokage, is this really...Minato Namikaze's child? (⊙_⊙)?"

Not to mention Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, even Rasa, who was standing next to Hiruzen, was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Hiruzen next to him in surprise and asked, "What? This is nothing like the fierce battle I imagined!" The son of Minato Namikaze, who had once forced him to defend passively, was being utterly crushed by his son. Was his son just too powerful, or was Minato Namikaze's son really too weak? The son's shouting was indeed loud and had a certain imposing presence, but in this situation, he was completely confused...

This is way worse than the previous Hyuga kid vs. Uchiha brat!

"...I'm sorry to make you laugh, Lord Kazekage. This child has been kind-hearted and peace-loving since childhood. He doesn't like the fighting and killing among ninjas, so he hasn't trained very seriously since he was young."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said without changing his expression, as if the people being beaten below weren't from Konoha.

As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher. Since Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew that Naruto was the son of a perfect grand-disciple, he naturally wouldn't deny it. However, at this point, he absolutely couldn't admit that Naruto's talent was too poor.

This can be considered as saving face for his perfect grand-disciple; otherwise, if someone dies, they'll be used as a target for criticism. Every time Hiruzen Sarutobi thinks of that outstanding grand-disciple from back then, he feels a pang of heartache...

"So that's it! I didn't know!"

Rasa, who had only met Hiruzen Sarutobi a few times, was unaware of Hiruzen's tactics. Upon hearing what Hiruzen said, he actually believed it and nodded knowingly. Minato Namikaze's talent was so outstanding that he wouldn't think of anything else.

“…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face could hold up, but his friends Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane sitting not far from him could not, both covering their faces with their hands as if they didn't recognize him.

You can even come up with such a ridiculous excuse; no wonder your high-ranking teacher let you rise to the top back then...

"What? These kids from Konoha are so weak!"

"Exactly, I think I could handle him too. So what if I get completely thrashed..."

"Sigh! Konoha really has no one left..."

"But you know what, have you noticed? This kid is actually pretty tough. He hasn't been hurt at all so far."

"That's true, it's been over half an hour, anyone else would have been dead by now..."

"I think Konoha sent this brat out because he's pretty durable. They want to wear down Gaara of Sunagakure until he's exhausted, then turn the tables on him at the last minute..."

"That makes sense..."

"........"

What was initially expected to be a fierce battle turned into a one-sided beating of the Konoha brats, leaving the audience stunned. However, unlike the previous matches where rookies clashed, it wasn't as boring for them. After all, the Sand Village's Magnet Release technique was quite impressive. Although it wasn't as flashy as the Uchiha brats' in the previous match, this Magnet Release technique, which allows sand to change shape at will, is still very powerful. It felt much stronger than the Uchiha brats' Fire Release techniques.

And this kid from Konoha is incredibly resilient; he's been getting beaten so badly and he's still full of energy. It makes you wonder if he's using some kind of trick...

"..."

While taking photos, Shinto heard the expert's analysis and, if he didn't know Gaara had a little blue bottle inside him, he would have believed it too. This guy was trying to wear down the One-Tailed Beast until its legs gave way; wouldn't that take half a year?

999. Gaara: Let Shukaku be happy for a little longer.

"Hahaha! Yes! That's how you beat this brat! Harder, harder! Don't give him a chance, just keep beating him!"

"Kurama's jinchūriki is indeed an idiot. The blond brat was right."

"Hey! Kurama, little brother, come out here and see what happened to you, you stupid Jinchūriki! You're really useless!"

"Would you like to learn how to raise children, older brother...?"

Have fun!

Inside Gaara's belly, watching the savior get utterly beaten by Gaara, the fat cat was completely ecstatic!

While directing Gaara to beat up the Savior, he kept babbling incessantly towards the Savior's stomach.

Their smug, arrogant demeanor almost made Gaara think they were the real villains.

"You're just a fat cat. Wait till I get out of here, I'll kill you... you bastard, you son of a bitch! (╬◣д◢)"

The savior couldn't hear the fat cat's voice, but the nine-tailed fox inside his belly could hear it clearly. Its anger was constantly increasing, and it wanted to break free from the cage that sealed it. However, this thing had been reinforced again by that damned white-haired brat a few days ago, and it couldn't find an opportunity when Kushina's son wasn't injured.

Now all I can do is endure the constant harassment from this weakling.

This blond brat is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Even if he gets killed, it's none of its business. After all, the noble Kurama can't die, and he can be resurrected even if he dies. It'll even clap its hands and cheer when this brat gets killed.

Who told that bastard Minato Namikaze to split him in two? I'd be a beast if I didn't avenge him.

But now its own Jinchūriki is being utterly defeated by that weakling Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast who still wants to be the boss. This is intolerable. What's more, that bastard One-Tailed Beast keeps calling it "little brother" and acting like it's being ordered around. If it continues to tolerate this, how will it ever survive?

But the fact that this blond brat had been beaten up for so long without getting hurt only fueled his rage.

You wouldn't mind getting a scratch or bleeding a little, you stupid little monster! o(▼皿▼メ;)o

"Hehehe... Little brother's still angry? Little brother's temper control is still so poor... Hahaha!"

Although he couldn't see his little brother's irritable expression, just hearing his voice made Fat Cat very happy; he hadn't felt this good in years.

He keeps calling me "little brother," it's so damn satisfying!

"boom!"

"puff!"

"Naruto!!!"

"Oh no! Naruto is injured!"

Just as the fat cat was gleefully teasing its little brother, Gaara slapped the savior outside with a sand-turned-giant-palm. It wasn't that he didn't want to finish the fight, but his grandfather Shukaku wouldn't allow it. Although he couldn't hear Kurama's voice, he could hear his grandfather Shukaku's voice. It was the first time he'd ever seen his grandfather so happy, as cheerful as a three-year-old. To repay his grandfather's kindness in teaching him, he could only let his grandfather be happy for a little longer.

However, this time he accidentally overdid it and his strength was slightly excessive. The Savior's companions and Kakashi saw him being sent flying again, this time clearly injured and spitting blood. Kakashi was extremely nervous. The last time the Nine-Tails erupted was because Naruto was injured by Orochimaru, and the time before that was because Naruto injured himself and was then injured by Haku. His sealing techniques were only half-baked. Now that Naruto was injured again, he had a premonition that the Nine-Tails was about to erupt again...

"Roar!"

"You weakling, you bastard, come out and face your death! (▼皿▼#)"
