Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

"It's over, Uchiha Sasuke. You were a very good prey." Gaara revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

The palm suddenly contracted.

"Naruto, come back quickly!" Sakura cried out in anguish.

"Crunch, crunch." Sasuke felt an unstoppable force contracting continuously, and his body emitted painful sounds of bones dislocating.

His face turned bright red, and blood even trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He knew his body was about to collapse, and if he didn't take action soon, he would die.

"Damn it, am I... really that worthless?" Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger, his heart filled with humiliation.

Memories of the past flash through my mind like a fleeting glimpse.

From the very first time I met Naruto, I have been following in Naruto's footsteps.

Naruto is so strong that every battle he fights is as elegant and graceful as a leisurely stroll.

His good looks and pretentiousness are perfectly natural.

However, one's own clumsy imitations often become very embarrassing.

He had fantasized countless times about defeating powerful enemies with extremely elegant moves, and then responding with a cold snort, not bothering to look back.

But a pity.

I still messed up.

hateful.

Am I going to ruin the glory of the Uchiha clan?

Sasuke's eyes gradually became glazed over, and blood continued to spurt from his mouth.

He seemed to see the man walking towards him, his eyes full of mockery.

"Is this all the magnanimity you have, my foolish brother?"

Hearing the man's words, Sasuke's eyes blazed with fury.

"I will become stronger, I will become Hokage, and I will revive the Uchiha clan."

"Ah!!" Sasuke looked up and roared.

The lightning on his body surged violently, and he was completely bathed in lightning.

Chapter 105 I'm sorry, Sasuke...

"Boom." The sand trapping Sasuke suddenly shattered, and the next moment, Sasuke's figure flashed past like a phantom, and under Gaara's shocked gaze, he punched him away.

Sasuke stood still, the lightning surrounding him intensifying, his hair standing on end.

He stood on the scorched earth, letting the raindrops fall on his face, and defiantly said:

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to complete this ninjutsu so quickly."

"As a thank you gift, I'll make sure you die with a great sense of rhythm."

"Oh, right, this ninjutsu is called Kirin Form."

Sasuke was in high spirits at that moment.

The so-called Kirin form involves circulating lightning chakra throughout the body, stimulating cell activity and metabolism, thereby amplifying all attributes.

The initial application of this ninjutsu was simply the presence of lightning.

In this state, physical exertion is enormous, and it may cause damage to the body.

Sasuke originally thought it would take at least another month to complete this ninjutsu.

Unexpectedly, Gaara's strength was so great that he forced himself to complete the ninjutsu ahead of schedule.

Indeed, battle is the best catalyst.

"Your strength far surpasses that of a genin, but unfortunately, you've run into me." Sasuke's tone was tinged with regret.

Feeling quite absorbed in the power within his body, he murmured to himself:

"I have now surpassed Naruto."

"Ahem." Just then, a soft cough was heard.

After finalizing the plan with Orochimaru, Naruto quickly headed towards Sasuke's location.

All I need to do now is pass the exam quickly.

For Naruto, this Chunin Exams were not exactly a waste of time.

The most important part is the final one-on-one match. At that time, most of the villagers and ninjas will come to watch, which is the perfect opportunity to unleash the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique.

Soon, Naruto sensed Sasuke's chakra and the massive battle taking place.

When he arrived, he saw Sasuke, his entire body bathed in lightning, his hair standing on end, a defiant smile playing on his lips: "I've surpassed Naruto now."

That awkward, pretentious attitude made Naruto feel embarrassed, and he quickly coughed a few times.

Sasuke, feeling smug, turned his head and saw Naruto standing next to Sakura with a mocking expression, while Sakura looked on with a lovesick expression.

"Hmph." For no reason, Sasuke snorted coldly, raised his chin, and said proudly, "See my ninjutsu? This is specially designed to deal with you."

"Clap clap clap." Naruto clapped his hands vigorously, praising with a smile, "Amazing, absolutely outstanding."

"That's natural. Even with the guidance of the Three Ninjas, I will still surpass you."

"Alright, alright, you're really getting better and better." Naruto praised him in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child. Then he formed hand seals and took out the Heaven and Earth Scrolls he had collected, which were all the items needed to pass the exam.

“We’ve collected a lot too.” Sakura also took out a scroll.

The three of them chatted like that, without even glancing at Gaara.

Temari and Kankuro exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with apprehension.

Gaara's strength was outstanding even among Chunin, yet he couldn't even defeat Sasuke.

Moreover, this Naruto Uzumaki seems to be even stronger than Sasuke.

They instinctively took a step back, looking worriedly at the giant pit.

If Gaara goes berserk, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Roar!" Gaara, lying in the deep pit, let out a beast-like roar.

……

Gaara has been regarded as a monster since birth. Everyone fears him, and even his own father tried to kill him.

Apart from Yashamaru, it seems like no one cares about him.

But no one expected that even Yashamaru would betray them in the end.

In Gaara's memory, that was the most heart-wrenching pain.

In the days that followed, he hid himself in the sand. The hard sand armor protected him well and also helped to separate him from the world.

He was safe inside the armor.

It is also lonely.

But just recently, Sasuke broke through the Sand Armor, and even felt the pain of numbness all over his body. He looked down and saw the blood flowing from his body.

His expression was panicked and frightened, and his memory returned to the scene of his assassination and the image of Yashamaru covered in blood.

That feeling of fear and collapse that had gripped him resurfaced.

This time it was so intense.

Finally, Gaara's rationality completely collapsed.

He threw his head back and roared.

The earth trembled violently, and endless sand and gravel gushed forth.

A surge of chakra, far exceeding Sasuke's, directly isolated the rainwater.

"We're doomed, it's gone berserk, Shukaku is coming out." Temari and Maki were pale.

"What the hell is this guy? How could he be hiding such terrifying power?" Sasuke exclaimed in shock and horror.

"Is that guy also a Jinchuriki?" Naruto was slightly surprised. Judging from the evil chakra that Gaara's body was showing at the moment, there was also a monster living inside him.

It seems this guy is a worthwhile investment candidate.

Thinking of this, Naruto's smile became even warmer.

"Leave this guy to me, you guys get out of here first."

"What are you talking about? That's my opponent." Sasuke refused Naruto's request without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, this is the last time."

Naruto delivered a karate chop to Sasuke's neck.

Sasuke's vision blurred for a moment, and only one word remained in his mind: "Damn it."

"Sakura, I'm leaving Sasuke in your care. I'll come find you later." Naruto hugged the unconscious Sasuke. Just in case, he also used Kido to bind Sasuke, followed by Kyoka Suigetsu to put him to sleep, and then added a second chop to his wrist.

"Don't worry, Naruto, I'll take good care of him." Sakura hoisted Sasuke onto her shoulder, looked at Naruto with tender affection, and said with a worried tone, "You have to be careful."

"Don't worry." Naruto smiled gently and said in an unquestionable tone, "He can't hurt me."

After Sakura left, Naruto quickly arrived near Gaara.

Before they even got close, the sand seemed to have a mind of its own as it hovered around Gaara.

"Consciously protecting its master? Is this the power of a tailed beast?" Naruto murmured to himself thoughtfully.

At this moment, Gaara's eyes had lost their reason, and his body was constantly transforming into a giant sand tanuki.

"Hmph, Shukaku is still as annoying as ever." Kurama muttered to itself in the sealed space, feeling a bit of understanding and sympathy for him.

They are all the same, sealed within human bodies.

However, compared to Shukaku, his seal was much stronger.

Judging from the appearance of that Jinchūriki, he probably hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
