Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

Jiraiya abandoned his research and headed straight for the Forest of Death.

When he arrived at the location, he was shocked to find that the area had been almost completely leveled, with a burning smell everywhere, and a few animal carcasses were found on the ground.

The air was filled with turbulent, swirling energy that lingered for a long time.

"Lord Jiraiya." Several ANBU ninjas approached Jiraiya.

"What's going on?" Jiraiya asked with a serious expression.

"A Kage-level expert infiltrated the Chunin Exams. The specifics are unknown. When we arrived, there was no one left."

The words from the Anbu made Jiraiya fall into deep thought.

What is it about this Chunin Exams that would make a Kage-level ninja infiltrate Konoha?

Could it be... Naruto?

Jiraiya felt a sudden unease.

"Lord Jiraiya, we've found these." At that moment, several ANBU ninjas arrived carrying several pieces of what looked like leather.

"This is..." Jiraiya's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed, "Snake skin?"

The image of the man he had been searching for for half his life flashed into his mind.

The man she considered her most trusted partner.

It was that man who completely severed the bond between them.

Orochimaru, is that you?

......

the other side.

Sasuke and Sakura also encountered trouble.

They encountered their most dangerous opponent in this Chunin Exam: Gaara, the Panda Man.

The two teams faced each other from a distance, and sand kept flowing from Gaara's sand gourd on his back, filling the air with a chilling atmosphere.

"Where's Naruto?" Gaara's voice was filled with killing intent.

"How did we run into this monster here?" Sakura's face paled, and she instinctively gripped her kunai tightly, ready to fight at any moment.

"Hmph." Sasuke snorted coldly from the side.

"I advise you to tell the truth, or it will hurt a lot," Kankuro said, his eyes filled with glee.

The feeling of being humiliated by Sasuke was still vivid in his mind, and he wished he could use the puppet to smash Sasuke's face.

"Pandamen, I advise you to run away quickly, otherwise, the consequences will be severe." Sasuke proudly raised his head and said coldly.

"A bear... a panda?!" Temari and Kankuro were immediately horrified. They looked at Gaara, and sure enough, the latter's face darkened.

They swallowed hard and instinctively took a step back.

They knew that the consequences of Gaara's anger were very serious.

What follows will be a massacre.

What a waste of such a handsome face.

Temari felt a strange sense of melancholy and regret.

"Seriously, Pandaman, what a vicious nickname." Temari's face contorted, and she almost burst out laughing.

Hearing Sasuke's mockery, Gaara's expression turned cold. He raised his hand and summoned countless grains of sand from the sand gourd behind him, which then enveloped him completely. A voice filled with killing intent rang out.

"You're asking for it."

"Hmph. A mere panda-man dares to show off his skills before an expert." Sasuke arrogantly raised his little head: "Sakura, step back, I'll take care of him."

"Be careful." Sakura understood that as a medical ninja, she could hardly help Sasuke in battle, so she obediently hid to the side.

"How long do you think it will take Gaara to finish him off?" Kankuro asked Temari softly, a hint of disdain on his face.

Kankuro grits his teeth with hatred every time he recalls the fear of being dominated by Sasuke.

Temari recalled the scene where Sasuke was surrounded by lightning and easily defeated Kankuro, and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she hesitated and said, "It should be quite troublesome."

Chapter 104 Sasuke Unleashes His Power

Under Gaara's control, a massive sandstorm surged towards Sasuke, obscuring the sky and the torrential rain.

Sasuke, however, wore a disdainful smile.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a burst of thunder.

At the same time, Sasuke clenched his fists and bent his knees, making a stance similar to a horse stance.

"Aaaaah!" With a roar, tiny bolts of lightning suddenly appeared around his body, crackling and popping. His chakra surged, instantly isolating the raindrops.

Sasuke raised his head, looking at Gaara with confident eyes, and said:

"Hey, you'd better get your guys back somewhere. You don't want them to die, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke disappeared from Gaara's sight.

In an instant, a fist crackling with lightning was already imprinted on Gaara's face.

"Bang!" A series of violent sonic booms rang out.

Under the rainy night sky, Sasuke's figure flickered continuously, each attack accompanied by dazzling sparks of lightning.

Gaara was being relentlessly hit like a punching bag, unable to land at all.

After being struck for several seconds, Sasuke could be seen pausing briefly, revealing a rather wicked smile, casually flicking his hand before disappearing again.

"Bang." Finally, after nearly a minute of being battered, Gaara was punched into the ground, sending up layers of dirt.

Looking at Sasuke again, his hair stood on end, his body was surrounded by lightning chakra, and his eyes were cold.

The torrential rain evaporated into water vapor as it fell on him.

Sasuke closed his eyes, stretched out his arms, and felt the continuous raindrops, saying in bliss:

"The raindrops surrounded by lightning are truly intoxicating."

"That idiot's had another episode." Sakura sighed and covered her head.

"What a joke! Gaara didn't even have a chance to fight back?" Kankuro and Temari were shocked.

"Collapse." At this moment, Gaara silently stood up, and cracks of varying degrees appeared on his body.

As a fragment fell, a hideous face was revealed inside.

Armor of Sand.

They covered their entire bodies with sand for protection.

"Hmph, not bad ninjutsu. It would be no fun if I got defeated so easily." Sasuke laughed instead of being surprised, and the lightning around his body surged again.

"Your name is Uchiha Sasuke, right?" Gaara's face was grim, filled with murderous intent.

“Not bad.” Sasuke proudly raised his head.

“Very well, then you can die now. Sandstorm Funeral.” Gaara stretched out his right hand, and in the next moment, countless grains of sand directly surrounded the area.

This is a ninjutsu that Gaara often uses: first, he uses sand to make it impossible for the opponent to escape.

Then use the pressure of the sand to crush the enemy.

"Tch, I think you've got one thing wrong." Despite being in the eye of the sandstorm, Sasuke remained calm and unhurried, strolling through the sand as if taking a leisurely walk.

"You are nothing but my prey." As he finished speaking, a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky. Sasuke raised his right hand high, and then lightning flashed and thunder roared. In the thunderclouds, a massive bolt of lightning began to gradually condense into the shape of a Qilin.

"Let me show you my self-created ninjutsu, Kirin. Be careful, don't die." Sasuke sneered.

Kirin is the ninjutsu he has been trying to create during this period.

While learning Chidori, a sudden inspiration struck him.

If one were to be completely bathed in lightning, could the power of thunder inflict a massive blow on the enemy?

It's just a pity that his chakra is limited, and his control over lightning chakra is not yet perfect.

The arrival of this rainy day, accompanied by lightning, was a perfect combination of timing and location, allowing him to use this ninjutsu, which is currently only in the experimental stage.

When he first used the Qilin, he didn't handle it properly and it was not easy to control.

"Boom boom boom." The Kirin in the sky had fully formed, and under everyone's horrified gaze, it locked onto Gaara and slashed down with a deafening roar.

Sensing something was wrong, Gaara quickly used defensive ninjutsu.

"Shield of Sand".

"Sand clone".

The sand that had been spreading rapidly returned, forming an oval that protected Gaara within it; its hardness far exceeded that of steel.

"Sizzle." Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of lightning colliding, the entire area was flashed with lightning and bolts crackled.

The Sand Shield suddenly burst open with a small hole, as if it had been hit hard. The Kirin's power remained unchanged. Under the impact, cracks gradually appeared in the Sand Shield, revealing Gaara's shocked eyes inside.

Soon, the persistent Kirin shattered the Sand Shield and landed on the unsuspecting Gaara.

"Ah!" With Gaara's sharp, piercing scream, the entire area was completely bathed in lightning.

Trees, rocks, and soil were ignited and even exploded and shattered by the chaotic surge of electricity.

Under the flash of lightning, Sasuke crossed his arms and arrogantly turned his head away.

"Boom." Another violent explosion occurred in the area, but Sasuke remained calm and walked towards Sakura without turning around.

"Let's go find Naruto."

Just then, something unexpected happened.

A clump of sand transformed into a giant hand that enveloped Sasuke, and then Gaara, covered in wounds, crawled out of the crater.

“An unforgivable bastard.” His face was contorted with rage as he staggered toward Sasuke.

A look of panic finally appeared on Sasuke's face as he struggled desperately.

However, the flowing sand and gravel completely enveloped him, making him feel unable to exert any force.
