Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

Sasuke clicked his tongue and pulled a kunai from his ninja tool pouch at his waist.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Naruto, bewildered, put his hands behind his head and strode forward with a carefree attitude.

"Stop, Naruto!"

Sakura's loud shout made Naruto instinctively stop in his tracks.

The next instant, the ground in front of Naruto was pierced by dozens of kunai shuriken.

"Ugh!"

Naruto's eyes turned into two circles, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

The towering trees surrounding the Death Forest were now filled with examination-bound low-ranking ninja who had come to besiege it.

"Haha, what a grand scene."

Sakura stood amidst numerous hostile gazes, and smiled sassily.

"Let's make a move, everyone! With so many of us, are we afraid of just one person?"

One of the ninjas participating in the encirclement shouted, encouraging those around him.

As a result... no one actually listened to him and attacked Sakura and her two companions.

After all, those who are chosen by their country and travel thousands of miles to participate in the Chunin Exams are capable of assessing situations effectively.

The ninja who spoke earlier was only thinking of sending others to their deaths. Seeing that no reckless youths were charging forward, he quietly concealed his presence.

"Sakura Haruno, your power is too strong. As long as you hand over the scroll and withdraw from the exam, we will not make things difficult for you!"

A malicious individual lurking in the crowd stirred things up again. The prolonged standoff had a slight effect on his words, and the crowd began to stir.

"Huh? You want to be my enemy?"

Sakura crossed her arms and took a step forward.

The ninjas in the trees, like startled birds, raised their weapons to shield themselves.

"That's it?"

The girl's domineering voice, tinged with sarcasm, echoed through the woods.

"Don't be so smug. Even if we all attack together, you might not be able to kill us all! Your companions will be finished then!"

Unwilling to be mocked by the girl, the ninjas issued a threat, their bravado masking their inner fear.

"Sigh, this won't do..."

Sakura took a deep breath, and her chakra surged up like flames.

Amidst the surging flames, dark lightning burst forth, roaring and churning in the void.

Many ninjas who initially wanted to escape felt their bodies momentarily lose control after looking directly into Sakura's eyes, and then they could no longer escape.

"If you want to be my enemy, show some guts! You think you can defeat me with such a cowardly attitude? Don't be ridiculous!"

As the chakra was released in combination with the power, the frost began to spread rapidly, diffusing and eroding, ravaging and destroying everything in its path.

The girl's ninja sandals shattered the ice crystals with a single step, freezing the attacking ninjas into ice sculptures one by one, and turning the entire forest into a snowfield.

“Sakura-chan…”

A boy's trembling voice came from behind, and Sakura turned around.

He noticed Naruto and Sasuke huddled together behind him, trembling, their small faces covered in frost.

"Sorry, sorry~"

Sakura, scratching her head, quickly ran over to thaw them out.

On a treetop some distance from the grove, three elite Cloud Village members were observing.

"Hey, hey, this level of technique has already reached the S-rank category, right? How are we supposed to defeat a monster like this?!"

Black Omoi unwrapped a new lollipop and popped it into his mouth.

"We don't need to defeat her; this is a survival mission. All we need to do is grab the scroll and head to the tower!"

Samui, as the leader of the three, set the tone, and Karui, who was beside her, also agreed to avoid conflict with Sakura.

Directly above the forest, a sand platform floats in the sky.

"Gaara, calm down! Now is not the time to fight her!"

Kankuro was sweating profusely, and Temari was equally pale.

But the two of them mustered their courage and held Gaara's hands, trying to dissuade him.

“Huh…Huh…”

Gaara gasped for breath, saliva dripping from between his teeth.

At this moment, he was not in a state of boiling murderous intent, but rather, at the moment the world was frozen, he clearly felt the fear of the monster within him.

Do things made of chakra also have things they're afraid of...?

"Hmph, I'm leaving!"

He glanced deeply at Sakura Haruno below, then manipulated the sand to carry Kankuro and Temari away.

Beneath the ground, frozen into permafrost.

Kurotsuchi, who was using ninjutsu to observe the situation on the ground, rubbed his arms and exhaled a breath of white air.

"That monster woman... is definitely targeting us!"

Hei Tu reached out and took the thick clothes handed to him by his senior brother Chi Tu, his teeth chattering as he cursed.

"This can't be right, our earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique) should be perfect?"

Akatsuchi, who was maintaining his sensory ninjutsu, pulled out one hand and scratched his head.

"No, someone with her strength can't be hidden from her by our stealth techniques!"

Kurotsuchi glared at Sakura with hatred, trying to kill her with her eyes.

Is there any hope for the ninja world? Although the five great nations say they will send some ninjas with strength exceeding that of genin to participate in the exam in order to increase exposure and compete for mission share.

But that pink-haired girl above is perfect in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and technique. She would probably be a super-powerful, all-around stat monster among jonin.

It's incredibly shameless of Konoha to throw someone like that into the exam hall to fight against a bunch of genin who aren't even chunin.

"Konoha is truly ruthless; no wonder they were able to conquer the Land of Fire!"

Black Earth pulled Red Earth into hand seals, expending a large amount of Earth Release chakra to dig open the frozen soil bit by bit.

Damn Konoha, damn Sakura Haruno.

Once I get out of here, I will definitely report your fish-blasting behavior to all the big spenders.

Chapter 127 Girl, Shall we pursue peace together?

"The Scroll of Heaven... The Scroll of Heaven... Found it! Achoo!"

The blond boy held up a scroll engraved with the character "天" (heaven), then sneezed in the cold wind.

Pushing aside the ice shards covering the ground, Naruto quickly ran out of the frozen area.

"This kind of ninjutsu that can even change the weather, were you just kidding me when we were sparring before?"

Sasuke exhaled a puff of white mist and reached out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Due to Sakura's recent power outage, snow actually began to fall in this area of ​​the Death Forest.

"Well, not really, it's just that I've gotten a lot stronger recently."

Sakura twirled a strand of pink hair between her fingers, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Since she learned Armament Haki and further developed her chakra and Devil Fruit abilities,

The celestial phenomena that can be created under low-temperature conditions become increasingly terrifying, and there is even a trend towards absolute zero.

Perhaps soon, the White Snow Martial Body will be renamed the White Glow Martial Body.

"That monster of a woman, if I catch up with you I can defeat that guy!"

Sasuke showed no sign of disappointment; on the contrary, his fighting spirit soared even higher under Sakura's encouragement.

"Haha, definitely!"

Sakura patted Sasuke on the back, making him stumble.

Then, he took the Heavenly Scroll from Naruto and put it into Sasuke's arms.

"Alright, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to finish the exam once we reach the central tower!"

Naruto excitedly raised his fist, but his innate Kotoamatsukami (a magical mouth technique) came into play.

A rainbow of light swept across the eyes of the three, causing Naruto and Sasuke to look at Sakura simultaneously.

"Disperse!"

Sensing the killing intent simultaneously through their Observation Haki, they immediately leaped to avoid the oncoming attack.

The surging chakra wind expanded rapidly like a giant pillar, carving a deep mark on the ground.

After the strong winds subsided, the large amount of dust that was blown up obscured everyone's vision.

Behind Sakura, a hand reached out from the spiraling vortex in the void, grabbed her arm, and pulled her away from Naruto and Sasuke.

"Sakura!"

The two boys in mid-air were startled and exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

However, they were powerless to carry out a rescue at this time, as a woman wearing a straw hat with snake-like pupils blocked their way.

The intense release of killing intent caused Naruto and Sasuke to see themselves being killed in their visions.

However, having experienced such a long clash of Conqueror's Haki with Sakura, they quickly reacted, took out their ninja tools, and confronted that strange and disgusting woman.

On the other side, a wavy spiral pulled Sakura into a strange space.

The sky here is pitch black, the ground is covered with square stone pillars of varying heights, and the gaps between them are bottomless abysses.

"Space-Time Ninjutsu, it's you!"

Sakura's emerald eyes held a hint of reminiscence.

Having traveled between the two worlds for almost fourteen years, she had almost forgotten the guy who was tricked by Fugaku on the night of the Uchiha Rebellion.

—Obito Uchiha!

"You've teamed up with Orochimaru?"

Sakura reached out, and with a practiced twisting motion, a massive ice axe materialized in her hand.

"There's no need to be so hostile towards me. Let's talk, Sakura Haruno!"

Wearing a swirling mask and dressed in a black robe, Obito casually sat down on one knee, hugging the edge of a tall stone pillar.

"My name is Uchiha Madara. You should have heard of me since you grew up in Konoha."

Obito Uchiha lowered his voice, his Sharingan with its three tomoe looking at the girl in front of him with great interest.

"Sakura Haruno, a commoner, was born in Konoha Village in 51."

"He showed his talent at the Ninja Academy 7 years ago, completed his studies in just two years, joined the Anbu, and suppressed the Uchiha."

"He is the only user of the Flying Thunder God Technique in the world, and he has also become a disciple of two of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya and Tsunade."

He rattled off every detail of Sakura's life in the ninja world, from birth to the present, as if Danzo had personally handed him the village's archives.

"So, what advice do you, you cowardly coward, have for my life?"

Sakura remained expressionless, the tip of her axe already pointed at him.

"Well then, I'll be blunt: join us, Sakura Haruno!"

Obito Uchiha opened his arms wide, as if sincerely inviting Sakura to join him.

"Having experience in the dark side, you must have already witnessed the darkness of this corrupt and decadent world!"

Full of confidence, Obito Uchiha began his speech with a passionate and eloquent tone.
