"The opponent is Gaara from Sunagakure Village. It feels like it will be a tough battle for Naruto."

Looking at Naruto and Gaara who were already walking towards the competition venue, Kakashi kept his eyes locked on Naruto, touched his chin, and after thinking about it, expressed his inner worries.

Although Naruto had received special training from Jiraiya in the past few days, and even mastered the art of channeling, was able to summon the toads from Mt. Myoboku, and began to learn the Rasengan, the time was still too short.

If you want to rely on these tricks to defeat Gaara, in Kakashi's opinion, it is a bit unrealistic.

Unless it's channeling the power of the Nine-Tails.

But channeling too much power of the nine tails will cause Naruto to go berserk and lose control.

At that time, Ghost Country, as the organizer, had to terminate the competition and intervene to deal with the matter.

Kakashi just hopes that this situation will not happen, otherwise, Naruto will have no choice but to stop here.

"Indeed, the opponent's Sand Control Ninjutsu combines offense and defense, and the range of the technique is extremely large. It may not be easy to win by relying on the number of shadow clones..."

Sasuke, whose body had recovered to some extent, stood up from the ground. Although he was not fully recovered, he could still manage to continue fighting.

However, now is not the time to worry about Naruto.

Because after this game, it will be his turn to appear again.

The opponent is a miko from the Kingdom of Demons. It would be very difficult to win in this state. In other words, it is simply impossible.

Until now, Sasuke couldn't think of a better way to survive the second round.

He hoped that Naruto could persist longer so that he could get more rest time.

Even if he persists for one more minute, it will be a good thing for him, as he can recover a little more physical strength and chakra.

"If you really have to force it, it doesn't matter if you give up next. In your current state, you are not suitable to play."

Kakashi glanced at Sasuke and could see that Sasuke's physical condition was very bad at this time.

Even after Sakura's treatment, he could barely handle a simple battle.

"I don't want to stop at this place, Kakashi."

Sasuke smiled back, completely ignoring whether his physical condition allowed him to cope with a high-intensity battle.

"You are still so strong."

Kakashi sighed, and seeing that Sasuke was determined, he stopped trying to dissuade Sasuke and focused his attention on Naruto again.

In terms of potential, the opponent might even surpass Sasuke.

Especially the power of the Nine-Tails, if you can turn it into your own, you can become the top powerful ninja in the ninja world.

As long as this possibility existed, no one would dare to underestimate the terrifying power in Naruto's body.

"The opponent is a ninja from Konoha. Gaara shouldn't be able to kill him."

Compared to Kakashi's emotion, Sunagakure was worried that Gaara would kill everyone in the competition.

Markey sighed, with a look of worry on his face, and replied: "It's hard to say, if he goes berserk, he won't care about the covenant or not. And this final can be said to be a strong one."

As the saying goes, Gaara is increasingly unable to control the murderous thoughts in his heart. I am really worried that he will cause irreversible disaster during the competition."

"What should we do?"

"If that time really comes, we can only let Lord Kazekage take action."

Marky said ashamedly.

It's shameful to say that when faced with the rampaging Gaara, as an elite Jounin of Sunagakure, he didn't have much confidence in suppressing him.

As a guardian and mentor, he can be said to be unqualified.

After hearing this, Kankuro's face showed the same obvious worry as Maki.

Thinking of the scene when Gaara went berserk, Kankuro couldn't help but shudder.

It was obviously a hot weather, but he felt very cold and had no warmth at all.

Naruto and Gaara walked to the playing field, stood face to face, and looked at each other.

Onigashima Shinobi looked around at the two of them, scratching his head in distress.

The two jinchūriki were arranged to fight together, and this match was a bit too scary.

If it goes berserk, this level of barrier cannot withstand it. If an emergency occurs, we can only hope that the big shots in the audience will handle it personally.

This is no longer something that a jounin can handle.

When he thought of this, Onigashima Shinobi felt that standing inside the barrier suddenly made him feel less safe.

Because if the chakra in the two people's bodies starts to run rampant, he, the examiner, will be the first to be unlucky.

"Are you all ready?"

Onigashima Ren subconsciously took a step back, as if he was on guard for something, very alert.

"I am ready."

Naruto held up the forehead protector on his forehead and showed an excited smile, apparently very confident in his own strength.

Gaara crossed his hands on his chest, his eyes revealed a coldness, he didn't speak, and responded with silence.

"Then, the game begins!"

After saying this, Onigashima Ninja directly used the teleportation technique to retreat to the edge of the field.

If something goes wrong, he will immediately escape from the barrier and reach a safe area.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

After Onigashima Ninja announced the start of the game, Naruto immediately formed a seal, and with a burst of smoke, more than a dozen shadow clones that looked exactly like Naruto rushed out of the smoke.

More than a dozen shadow clones started to attack from both wings. They did not rush up at the beginning, but surrounded Gaara in a circle. Then the shadow clones rushed up, took out kunai, and attacked from all directions.

Gaara maintained a cold posture with his hands folded on his chest. When Naruto's shadow clones began to riot, the sand in the gourd behind him also began to riot at the same moment, spurting out from the gourd quickly, and then like

The clouds and mist drift away.

The kunai poked into the sand, feeling like it was stabbing into extremely hard steel.

Moreover, a powerful counter-shock force came from it, knocking several shadow clones back and rolling away.

"Damn it! It's such hard sand!"

Several of Naruto's shadow clones that were ejected were lucky enough to be saved because they just rolled over but were not seriously injured. They looked at the sand surrounding Gaara and bared their teeth, feeling sincerely unhappy.

The way the other party stood motionless made Naruto feel extremely insulted, as if he had been looked down upon.

"Shadow clone is such a boring ninjutsu."

Gaara's green eyes with cold murderous intent glanced at the shadow clones around him and spoke indifferently.

Although there was no contempt in his eyes, there was contempt in Gaara's tone.

He believed that this game would end more easily than imagined and advance to the next round.

More than Naruto, he wanted to fight the miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

However, it's soon.

As long as he wins this battle, if nothing unexpected happens, the shrine maiden named Wu Zhi from the Kingdom of Ghosts will also advance, and then she can have a real battle with her opponent.

For this reason, he had to ensure that his chakra was sufficient and no accidents could occur before then.

Only the blood of the strong can make you excited!

"Don't worry, Mom, you'll get the delicious blood soon. It's just a pre-dinner dessert now..."

Gaara put his hand down and pressed his forehead, trying to restrain something. A low voice came out of his mouth, and he smiled in horror.

"Uh, mom?"

Naruto blinked, swallowed, and shivered unnaturally.

Gaara looked like he was talking to someone, but in the barrier of the venue, apart from the two of them and the examiner, there was no fourth person present.

Who is Gaara talking to?

Thinking of this, the hairs all over Naruto's body stood up. For him who had been afraid of ghosts since he was a child, a shadow of fear suddenly cast over his heart.

Shaking his head, Naruto tried his best to dispel this inexplicable feeling of panic. The most important thing now was to win this game.

Besides, how could such unclean things appear in broad daylight?

The other party must be bluffing.

After saying that, the shadow clones around him rushed up again, preparing to break through the sand protecting Gaara with their numerical advantage.

Gaara's cold eyes glanced over, and his hands immediately formed seals.

"Ugh!"

The powerful whirlwind swept up the sand and dust, blowing it around Gaara like a sandstorm.

Mixed in it are tiny sand balls as big as a finger, which fly out like bullets in a fire.

Bang bang bang——
