Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

Just then, a tiger's roar shook the forest.

"what?!"

Before the Sand Ninja could react, a tiger burst out of the forest and slapped the Sand Ninja puppeteer and his puppet away, sending them crashing to the ground.

"Wow!"

All of this happened too suddenly. The slap made his internal organs churn, and he couldn't help but spit out blood from his mouth.

But this is not over yet.

"Om~"

A massive amount of chakra erupted from Kazan, shattering the ground beneath his feet and causing the labyrinth that had trapped him to crumble as his chakra exploded.

"Use a burst of chakra to forcibly break my genjutsu!?"

The illusionist ninja's eyes widened, his expression revealing shock.

While this method is effective, it causes serious damage to the body, and no one in the ninja world does it.

"Being distracted during battle is not a good habit!"

Goodbye, Sand Ninja!

Kazan broke through the illusion and instantly appeared in front of the enemy.

Point your index finger at the other person's throat.

Finger gun.

puff~

In an instant, a terrifying burst of blood shot out from the back of the opponent's neck, like a red line that spilled onto the forest floor.

His life force was rapidly fading, and his pupils were quickly dimming.

At the last moment, he looked at his last teammate, his throat bobbing as if he wanted to warn the opponent to escape, but he couldn't utter a sound.

"Paku!!!"

"What have you done?!"

The last remaining Sand Ninja roared, his pupils bulging so wide they almost popped out of their sockets.

He was consumed by hatred as his teammate, with whom he had fought side by side for many years, died tragically before his eyes.

next second.

Hakimi stomped on him and let out a warning roar.

"I...I curse you...Konoha's...genin..."

"If the curse were effective, my boss would have been dead long ago in my past life."

Kazan withdrew his finger and searched among the three corpses for the scroll.

The battle came quickly and ended even faster; in an instant, the Sand Ninja squad was wiped out by Kazan.

after awhile.

"Kazan!"

Inuzuka Tsurugi and Aburame Shiki arrived, and the two of them and the dog landed not far from Kazan.

Unaware, Hakimi stood warily behind Kazan, his tiger-like eyes locking onto the suddenly appearing two-legged beast.

Blackball immediately transformed into its Spinosaurus form, its fur standing on end and its teeth clenched tightly.

"this....."

"You've arrived."

Kazan found the item, stood up, and turned to face his two temporary teammates.

"Luckily, this squad's scrolls are exactly what we need."

Upon hearing this, the two did not become elated.

The scene before them put them under immense pressure.

Kazan stood before the tiger, surrounded by the corpses of Sand Ninja and the ravaged ground.

"You did all of this?"

"Obviously."

"Then it...."

"You mean Hakimi? He's my...comrade."

"Roar!"

Hakimi seemed quite satisfied with this explanation. Upon learning that it was someone Kazan recognized, it intuitively lowered its guard, bringing its head close to Kap and letting him touch it.

"So you were the lunatic who rode the tiger in the village before?"

Inuzuka Tsuru spoke bluntly, completely unaware that his words had wounded Kazan's fiery heart.

He didn't argue with her, and in one swift motion, he mounted Hakimi.

"Let's go. We've got the mission items. Let's talk at the central building first, or things might change."

Like a hawk, it let out a majestic roar and nimbly darted through the forest.

"Kazan is right, let's hurry. We might be ambushed if we're too late!"

The exam in the Forest of Death will last for five days.

Not all ninja squads possess such outstanding reconnaissance and tracking capabilities.

Some squads that cannot find their enemies and are extremely confident in their own strength will inevitably attempt to ambush and kill their opponents at the finish line.

"I understand. Let's go, Kuromaru." Inuzuka Tsuru patted his dog and followed.

Looking at the tiger under Kazan's crotch, I suddenly felt that my Black Orb wasn't so appealing anymore.

Especially when recalling the image of that fierce tiger lying behind Kazan, locking onto them.

He's so handsome!

Indeed, the world should be as big as possible!

On the road.

The three of them kept a close watch on their way.

They entered the Death Forest relatively late; several smaller teams had already entered ahead of them, and they could be ambushed at any moment.

Fortunately, all three of them were skilled in reconnaissance and tracking, which allowed them to avoid unnecessary trouble in advance.

"But then again, Kazan, why do you seem so familiar with this place?"

"This is my hunting ground."

"Oh...so that's it...huh?"

Chapter 36 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Shock

"What do you mean by 'this is your hunting ground'?"

"The literal meaning."

Kazan spoke calmly, as if recounting something very ordinary.

"I have a big appetite. While others are full after just one bowl of ramen, I can eat dozens of bowls."

"so what?"

"So, to fill my stomach, I started hunting in this forest when I was very young."

Are you crazy?!

This is the Forest of Death!

Inuzuka Tsurugi was furious. When she was very young, her parents had warned her never to set foot in this forbidden area.

More than a decade has passed, and it was only during the Chunin Exams that she finally entered this forest.

And this brat...

Having hunted here since she was a child, she was always puzzled as to why Kazan felt a sense of homecoming when he entered the Forest of Death.

"Then this tiger...."

"You mean Hakimi? His mother died not long after he was born. Luckily, he was smart and ran to the edge of the forest to hide, and that's when I found him. That's about it."

That's all bullshit!

What kind of good family member, starving, went hunting in the Death Forest at a very young age and encountered such a spiritual beast?

Are you the protagonist of the novel?

But I'm really envious.

Inuzuka Tsurugi increasingly felt that his Kuro-maru wasn't appealing anymore.

Wouldn't it be so cool to ride Kazan's tiger around Konoha?

"arrive!"

Aburame Shimi, who had been largely ignored, finally got a chance to speak.

Most people in this group are taciturn.

Of course, they weren't like this from the beginning.

When Aburame was young, he was quite optimistic, until one day he tried to sell his cute insects to his classmates, which scared them so much that they all scrambled home.

From then on, Yu Nuzhiwei rarely spoke.

Pitiful, helpless, like a nobody.

"Let's go back to the back mountain first; it's not safe here for now."

"Ow!"
