Konoha Village, the second round of the Chunin Examination.
In a hidden valley near a river in the Forest of Death, unconscious Naruto and Sasuke lay side by side in a cave paved with hay.
Xiang Lian's injuries have healed, and some chakra has now been restored.
Xili and Quanmei had left long before dawn, and Xili only showed up because he sensed that Xiang Phosphorus was in danger.
Now that there is no danger, Xili and Quanmei naturally have no reason to stay.
After all, this is the Chunin exam for the three of them.
"Naruto's injuries recovered quickly, and it may take some time for Sasuke's mental state to recover."
Kaoru's medical ninjutsu is only entry-level, so he can take care of people no matter what.
Both Naruto and Sasuke's injuries were treated by Izumi, and Izumi also told Karin about Sasuke's mental state.
"I thought it was just a simple Chunin exam, but I didn't expect to meet that guy Orochimaru."
"Since Brother Xili has been here, Orochimaru shouldn't show up again, right?"
Xiang Lu glanced inside the cave with a frown.
Now she is a little panicked.
Xiang Phosphorus' biggest trump card is the amount of chakra. Whether it's water escape, earth escape, or sealing technique, he can use it as much as he wants.
But after the battle with Orochimaru, she realized that no matter how much chakra she had, she couldn't withstand the indiscriminate use of her ultimate moves.
In the past, I was always lazy in my practice, but this time I tasted the bitter consequences.
"I wonder when these two guys will wake up..."
Xiang Ling felt his physical condition and said, "The chakra has probably returned to the level of a genin. The chakra in the volcanic stone needs to be re-stored."
"If you encounter an enemy..."
Why is Brother Xili walking so fast?
Really!
Just when Xiang Ling was sitting with his knees in his arms and thinking wildly, a strange smell suddenly appeared.
Under the perception of Kagura's inner eye, a team...
No, more than one squad.
Two, three, four, five...
etc!
Why are five teams approaching here? What is going on with this situation? Their traces should have been wiped out!
Xiang Ling jumped up very high and rushed out of the cave.
After careful perception, she discovered the reason.
The opponent is not coming towards them, but the four teams in front are escaping, and a small team behind is chasing them!
Because the chakras of the four teams in front were unstable and their auras were chaotic, they were like a group of lambs being chased by a tiger.
The chakra of the team at the back was obviously stronger than the four fleeing teams in front.
And that evil chakra is full of madness and bloodthirsty.
"One team is chasing four teams??"
Xiang Ling's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over her.
Those teams that were running around happened to come to this valley next to the river. It seemed that they planned to use the river to hide their presence and escape!
Their hiding spot is not far from the river!
This is so embarrassing!
Xiang Ling gritted her teeth and made a decisive decision. Now she could not escape with Naruto and Sasuke.
So she decided to hide the entrance to the cave and leave the hiding spot to hide nearby.
If anyone approaches or discovers this place, she will directly lead the enemy away.
This method can only be used once, because her chakra has not recovered much, and luring away a wave of enemies is the limit.
There is not much time to hesitate, just act as soon as you think of it.
Xiang Ling stood at the entrance of the cave and quickly formed seals with his hands.
The ground squirmed, as if something was about to break out of the ground. The next second, a huge rock flipped over and directly covered the cave entrance.
"I hope you can wake up safely."
After doing all this, Xiang Phosphorus turned around and headed downstream of the river.
Whoosh whoosh!!
More than a dozen figures galloped past in the forest, escaping in a hurry, jumping wildly through the forest like a group of frightened rabbits.
There was only one small team in the rear, or to be more precise, there was only one person chasing them.
The other two people in the pursuit team were just like soy sauce, following very far behind.
They seem to be guarding their teammates on the same team?
Three people in the same team are so far apart, making it inconvenient to support and cooperate, and it's not normal in any way.
"This can't continue like this. If Gaara goes berserk here, our plan will be completely disrupted."
"Do you dare to stop him? I won't stop him anyway."
Temari's words made Kankuro choke for a long time. Stop Gaara? Are you kidding me? That kid went crazy and even killed his own people!
If he had a choice, he would never team up with that monster!
For a moment, both of them were silent.
What they were afraid of was not Gaara, but the monster sealed in Gaara's body - One-tailed Shukaku!
"Follow me for now, it's still within control."
Temari made the final decision, and Kankuro nodded slightly in agreement with this approach.
It's just that the distance between the two of them and Gaara has increased by five or six steps.
The four fleeing teams included two Konoha teams, one Sound ninja team, and one Rain ninja team. The four teams were not originally together, but they had to stick together at this time.
Weak people like to hug each other for warmth!
On the bank of the river, a group of people were about to escape through the current.
Sudden!
Wow!!!
A wall of sand sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, blocking everyone in front of them, blocking the only way to escape outside the sand wall.
Gaara has been playing tricks on these genin from the beginning.
If he wanted to kill these four genin teams, why would he need to chase them over such a long distance?
You can kill them all as early as the first encounter.
The reason why he did this was purely because Gaara was playing a cat-and-mouse game.
"So this is the expression of dashed hopes! I thought your expressions would be richer!"
There was deep disappointment in Gaara's tone.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, they saw him slowly raising his hands.
"Gravel rain!"
Countless sands condensed in the sky by the river bank, forming a sand cloud in the shape of a yellow sand rain cloud.
at the same time.
The sand on the ground seemed to come alive, wrapping around everyone's feet and calves, tightly binding everyone in place!
Crackling!!
Boo hoo hoo!!
Countless bullet-like sand rains shot down, as if there was a Gatling gun overhead and fired wildly.
In an instant, a total of twelve genin from four teams were shot into a hornet's nest.
Puff puff!!
Blood filled the air, and clouds of blood mist exploded.
Destroy them all with one move!!
"The taste of blood..."
Gaara looked crazy and licked the blood that was gradually staining his cheeks, his eyes showing a blur of excitement.
Only killing can make him feel his presence.
Only killing can make him feel alive.
Temari and Kankuro were hiding behind the stone wall from a distance, looking at the scene in front of them with fearful expressions and a hint of worry at the same time.
