"What's that...tail?"

Everyone on the observation deck only saw a thick black shadow sweeping out from the hole of the sand ball, and then Naruto's shadow clones scattered around were swept away with just one blow, and they were surprised. 2

As for the true identity of the black shadow, it was so fast that many people did not see it clearly.

But they could clearly feel Gaara's abnormal situation at the moment.

In fact, if the barrier hadn't blocked most of the chakra aura from leaking out, maybe they would have a more intuitive understanding of the situation in the field.

"No, it's the arm."

Kakashi gave the answer accurately, with a solemn look on his face.

Although he expected that there would be a scene where the tailed beast's chakra would be leaked in this game, the character was wrong.

In his estimation, the probability that Naruto would be the first to reveal the tailed beast's chakra would be greater, but he did not expect that the situation would be reversed now, and it would be Gaara who was forced to a dead end first. 4

Of course, it cannot be said to be a dead end.

It would be better to say that it was the bitter fruit caused by Gaara's own carelessness.

If careful precautions were taken from the beginning, it would be difficult for Naruto's tactics to touch his body.

Unfortunately, Gaara is too arrogant.

He looked down upon Naruto, thinking that he was just a genin with some strength, a small character who could be easily eliminated without much effort.

It was this carelessness that caused Gaara to be successfully attacked by Naruto and reveal his tailed beast chakra earlier.

"Arm? Hand of Sand?" 1

Sasuke knew that Gaara could control the sand and condense it into the form of a palm to grab the enemy.

However, the thick black shadow that flashed away just now did not look like an attack by the Hand of Sand, but a part of a limb of some kind of creature.

Kakashi looked at the movement in the arena below and did not directly respond to Sasuke's question. Instead, he said: "You will know after reading it. Compared with the paleness of words, seeing it with your own eyes is more authentic."

After all, things about tailed beasts and jinchuriki are generally not disclosed to genin. 2

Even the chuunin knew very little about the details.

Only when you reach the level of Jonin will you pay attention to the issues of tailed beasts and jinchūriki.

Depending on the class, the burden on one's body will naturally increase accordingly.

Kakashi does not want Sasuke and others to take on responsibilities and obligations that he cannot bear for the time being, even if they are Naruto's teammates.5

"cut."

For Kakashi's answer, it can be said that Sasuke expected it, or it could be said that it was unexpected.

I can only watch the competition below patiently, waiting for the so-called answer to appear.

"This guy's aura suddenly became bad...what's going on?"

Naruto grunted and swallowed. The breath lingering on the surface of the sand ball that wrapped Gaara made him feel familiar, but also a little uneasy and uneasy. His heart jumped into his throat, and he could feel it at any time.

It may seem like it's popping out of your mouth, beating wildly.

"...Uzumaki...Naruto..." 3

The hoarse voice with a bit of coldness, like a vicious spell, was transmitted through the black hole of the maracas and entangled in Naruto's ears.

Naruto couldn't help but shudder and swallowed again.

For some reason, his limbs began to tremble.

This feeling of chakra is really too bad!

"...Uzumaki...Naruto!!!"

If the previous one was still in the stage of curse, then the sound roaring out of the maracas at this time seemed to turn the tyranny inside into substantial murderous intent, piercing Naruto directly.

"Ugh!"

Naruto screamed strangely and took a step back in panic.

The thick black shadow stretched out from the black hole again, rushing towards him like lightning.

Naruto picked up the kunai and blocked forward.

When the kunai comes into contact with a hard object, violent sparks immediately fly out. 1

Naruto's eyes widened, and he finally saw clearly what the 'thing' rushing towards him was - an arm!

One color is sandy yellow, and the monster's arm is branded with the evil violet mark.

The sharp claws crossed the kunai's defense line and scratched hard on Naruto's shoulder. Not only that, the huge strange force made Naruto's body fly away from the monster's arm, causing him to roll on the sand with vomiting blood.

, barely standing firm.

Naruto covered the wound on his right shoulder. Although the wound would not destroy his entire arm, it would probably be difficult to fight with his right arm.

At this time, the sand surrounding Gaara began to collapse, exposing Gaara inside.

The image has changed very intuitively compared to before.

The weird and terrifying shape can send chills down the spine just by looking at it.

It can no longer be described as human.

——I saw that the left half of Gaara's body had completely transformed into a monster.

Like the arm just now, the skin color is sandy yellow, with mysterious violet marks imprinted on it.

That half of the body was very bloated and fat, giving Naruto the impression of a plump tanuki.

But the half-body that transformed into a monster, the whites of its eyes were eroded by darkness, and its pupils were a dark yellow color that had lost its highlights. Its gaze was as sharp and sharp as a blade. It scanned the surrounding area. Even the Jonin who maintained the barrier felt that this was the case.

There is something ominous about this vision, as if being stared at by some huge terror. 2

If it weren't for the order from above telling them not to act rashly for the time being, they would have just taken action directly and used the sealing technique to suppress the tailed beast in Gaara's body to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

The other half of Gaara still has a human face, but now his teeth are bared fiercely, and saliva is constantly flowing from between the teeth, giving people the feeling that he is like a beast about to be hunted in the forest, full of bloodthirsty and ferocious

color.

A sandy-yellow tail on the back gently swept behind, causing sand and dust to fly.

"What is that?"

"Monster?"

"very scary!"

On the audience stage, many spectators looked nervous.

Even though they were separated by a layer of barrier, they felt great uneasiness and panic in their hearts.

Although the previous miko from the Kingdom of Demons also performed the skill of 'transformation' and wore a demon mask on her face, she essentially gave the impression that she was still a cute girl wearing an interesting mask.

'That's all.2

After all, in the important festivals of the Kingdom of Ghosts, people who wear various monster masks to participate have long been accustomed to seeing strange things, and instead feel that the other party is 'performing'.

But Gaara gives people a completely different feeling.

No matter how you look at it, it’s not just as simple as wearing a ‘mask’.

But a true alien.

It brings greater visual impact.

"If this continues, I feel like there will be no way to end it."

Liuli observed the reactions of the people around her and said to Shiraishi.2

"But the current situation is not enough to suspend the game."

Gaara still retains the sanity of a ninja at this moment, and has not completely given up his body to the control of the tailed beast.

Theoretically, this is still a power that Gaara himself can control without reaching the point of losing control.

Since Gaara can control this part of the power and has not yet swallowed up his reason, it naturally belongs to the power of justification and does not belong to the power 'outside the rules'. 2

Therefore, based on the rules of the exam, Shiraishi can only watch the situation evolve naturally.

Moreover, Gaara's current state is still a long way from the tailed beast's complete state.

This level of tailed beast chakra leakage, even if it is strengthened several times, can never break the barrier arranged around the examination room. As for whether Gaara can control the power of the tailed beast without losing his mind, it is not Shiraishi's responsibility.

Something to consider.

"Do you need to stabilize the situation?"

Ruri, who possesses the Sharingan, can suppress tailed beasts more effectively, she suggested to Shiraishi.

"Just be patient and watch and wait and see what happens."

Seeing Shiraishi sitting firm, Liuli could only nod her head and quietly watch the development of the situation in the arena below.

If there were any signs of the tailed beast going completely berserk, she would immediately go up and use her Sharingan to suppress the commotion.7

If a tailed beast goes berserk and causes turmoil on the scene, even if no one is injured or killed, the finals of the Joint Chuunin Examination held by the Demon Country will immediately become a laughing stock in the ninja world.
