Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

The Gaara team was chasing Hinata's team.

After snatching Hinata's team's prey, they originally wanted to go straight to the finish line, but after opening the scroll, they saw the mark of the earth on it, so they hurriedly chased Naruto's team.

After walking out of the dense forest and seeing the three Konoha teams standing side by side, Gaara frowned.

He glanced at the two scrolls of earth in his hand, and his face suddenly changed. He understood everything in his heart. Konoha used the method of distributing scrolls to unite the Konoha ninjas to deal with them, the outsiders.

Otherwise, during the game, even if they were ninjas of the same period, they would calculate against each other.

Thinking of this, Gaara looked at Naruto in front of him and said slowly: "Konoha ninja over there, if I guess correctly, you should all have scrolls of heaven on you. If you hand over one, I can give you the scroll of earth in my hand."

"In this way, we can both pass the second round of exams and advance to the third round."

Hearing this, Kankuro and Temari were extremely surprised, secretly thinking that Gaara actually chose to give in in front of his peers. Even if the other party's identity was also a Jinchūriki, Gaara should not be weak.

What the two did not know was that Shukaku in Gaara's body had long hoped that Gaara and Naruto would fight.

Only in the desert area would Shukaku not be bullied by the Nine-Tails. The two sides had accumulated hatred for thousands of years. When they were both sealed, they could only rely on Jinchūriki to decide the outcome.

And Gaara considered more.

He was worried that after a hard fight, he still couldn't take down the Konoha ninja on the opposite side, and he was also worried about being attacked by the rebel ninja Rasa, so he had to maintain full combat effectiveness at all times.

Facing Gaara's proposal, Naruto and Shikamaru looked at each other and then chose to refuse.

"Gaara, your proposal is very tempting, but unfortunately, we are not the kind of ninjas willing to abandon our companions. It is better for us to compare our strengths."

Naruto could not give up Team 10, not only because Hinata had a good relationship with him.

More importantly, he wanted to create the image of a believer of the Will of Fire and could not be too selfish, otherwise it would be detrimental to his future plans.

Shikamaru also did not want to reach an agreement with Gaara.

Judging from the number of scrolls in the hands of their two teams, reaching an agreement with Gaara would enable them to quickly pass the Chunin Exam and advance to the next round.

But if they gave up Hinata's team, it meant that their team might also be abandoned.

Although the Chunin Exam was just an exam on the surface, it was actually not much different from a real battlefield. It allowed intrigue and allowed reference ninjas to kill each other.

From the perspective of interests, Shikamaru could not accept Gaara's proposal.

After Gaara's proposal was rejected, both sides fell into a brief silence, as if they were thinking about whether to continue fighting or to leave and choose other prey.

Both sides had the scroll that the other wanted, and they didn't know if they would have a chance to get the scroll after they separated.

After a moment of silence, both sides finally took action.

After getting permission, Kankuro summoned three or four puppets in front of a group of Konoha ninjas. The puppets reflected cold light under the sunlight.

After locking the position of the Konoha ninja, the puppets rushed towards the other side.

Not all ninjas can stop the powerful puppets. After using the shadow manipulation technique and the heart turning technique to fail to control the puppets, Shikamaru's face changed, and Ino showed a panic.

The ninjas they are good at cannot deal with puppet masters.

The shadow manipulation technique has a limit. It cannot be controlled if it exceeds a certain weight, and the heart turning technique has no effect on the steel body.

In the end, it was Choji who stopped the puppet and fought with the puppet.

Seeing this scene, Kanjiro was a little surprised. In addition to personal control ability, the strength of a puppeteer depends more on the quality of the puppet itself.

Although these puppets of his are defective products that Mr. Scorpion doesn't want, they are already masterpieces for ordinary puppeteers. Each puppet has the strength of a Chunin.

Temari is a ninjutsu type ninja. She silently selected Hinata's team as her team.

After jumping onto the tree trunk to pull away, Temari waved the three-star fan in her hand, and a series of wind escape ninjutsu condensed into shape, flying towards Hinata and others like a blade.

These wind blades are extremely sharp. When blowing on the tree trunk, the tree trunk can be cut in half, and when scraped on the ground, gullies can also appear, which looks scary.

After dodging the wind blade sideways, another breath of sickle weasel was ushered in.

When there was no way to retreat, Hinata raised her palm and played a set of soft fists, using soft fists to dissolve the incoming wind escape ninjutsu.

Seeing that her teammates were safe and sound under her protection, Hinata breathed a sigh of relief.

Although her strength is not as good as that of her brother Neji, and she has not learned the family secret technique of Kaiten, she can still block this simple ninjutsu.

After the defense, it is the counterattack phase.

Aburame Shino released a wave of poisonous insects towards Temari, forcing Temari to return from the height to the ground, and followed her all the time.

Kiba also sent out the summoned beast to chase.

To deal with a ninjutsu ninja, you only need to make the opponent unable to use ninjutsu, and you can win the battle.

Gaara faced Naruto's Team 7. He raised his palm and summoned the flying sand in the gourd, which flew towards Naruto and Sasuke.

Facing such a conspicuous attack, Naruto and Sasuke could naturally deal with it easily.

After dodging the flying sand, Naruto realized that something was wrong with the ground under his feet. He didn't know when the ground under his feet had been hollowed out and replaced with a ball of quicksand.

Using the technique of treading water to float on the quicksand, Naruto and Sasuke were a little worried about the attack from underground.

Soon they felt that something was wrong with the sand. The sand was surrounding them and wanted to trap them to death at this moment.

After realizing this, the three looked towards Gaara's position.

In the case of the opponent occupying the terrain, a quick battle is the best action plan. As long as Gaara is taken down, this conflict will end soon.

Not far away, Orochimaru and Rasa were watching the battle with the Sound Ninja.

For Orochimaru and Rasa, although the battle between the two sides was a little immature, it has already taken shape. In time, both sides of the battle will definitely become good ninjas.

After observing for a while, Orochimaru said to Luosha:

"Don't you want to meet your children? Now is a good opportunity. When the candidates enter the third round, it will not be so easy to meet."

Luosha frowned, and then said: "There are too many people. If you go there rashly, there will be a risk of exposure. It is better to complete the task assigned by Bai Ye first."

Orochimaru smiled and said meaningfully: "Lord Luosha thought so, but in the first exam, why did you deliberately pick a fight with Gaara and others?"

"You didn't worry about your identity being exposed at that time?"

Luosha glanced at Orochimaru and said in a faint tone Said: "I think you have your eyes on a certain ninja in Konoha, so you have been instigating me. If you want to go, go, just don't cause too much trouble."

"If the Third Hokage knows our existence, things will be difficult to handle."

Orochimaru smiled mysteriously, and then said: "Don't worry about being exposed. My teacher should have known that I was here a long time ago. After all, I have given him a lot of gifts."

After a pause, Orochimaru continued: "Next, we will act alone and resume contact after the third round of exams."

After speaking, Orochimaru waved to the Sound Ninja, and several people disappeared into the woods together.

...

Just when the battle between Konoha and Sand Village entered a white-hot stage.

A sound of footsteps sounded in the forest, and a third-party ninja appeared on the battlefield. This ninja team, wearing the forehead protector of the Sound Village, silently rushed towards the Sand Village and Konoha ninjas.

The ninjas of the Sound Village are elite ninjas recruited by Orochimaru from various countries.

These people either have good talents but are buried in the crowd, or have survived the experimental transformation and become a ninja with special abilities.

But it is certain that every Oto-nin who participates in the Chunin Exam has strength far beyond that of ordinary Chunin, and can burst out with good combat power at critical moments.

In the case of the attack, both the Konoha ninja and the Sand Village ninja suffered varying degrees of injuries.

After snatching the scrolls of both teams, they immediately disappeared into the dense forest, not even giving Sand Village and Konoha a chance to talk nonsense.

After the scrolls were snatched away, the Sand Village and Konoha ninjas also lost the need to fight.

After tacitly stopping, Kanjiro said with an ugly face: "One scroll was taken from me, how many were taken from you?"

Shikamaru glanced at Kanjiro and then said:

"Two... Now both of us only have one scroll left, what are you going to do? Continue to fight with us, or go after the Sound Ninja together?"

After hearing this, Naruto and Gaara, the actual leaders of both sides, looked at each other and nodded.

"Let's put aside the dispute for the time being and deal with that group of Sound Ninjas. As long as we get the scrolls from them, we may not have to fight."

"I have no objection."

"Then let's go together. If they take a long way to the finish line, we will all be eliminated."

In a few words, they reached a cooperation and the two sides started the pursuit.

The advantage of Hinata's team was immediately revealed. Although the leader of the three of them, Yuhi Kurenai, was a ninja specializing in illusion, their team was a reconnaissance team.

With the help of the Byakugan and the summoned beasts, Naruto, Gaara and others quickly locked the location of the Sound Ninja.

After snatching the Heaven and Earth Scroll, this group of Sound Ninja did not seem to plan to go to the high tower in the central area, but hid in the depths of the Death Forest.

A little further from here, you can leave the Death Forest and enter the vast mountain forest.

Gaara stretched out his hand to stop Naruto and said to him: "I think something is wrong here. This group of Sound Ninjas are like setting a trap and waiting for us to pass."

Naruto nodded slightly: "I have similar ideas, but we still have to go. This is just an exam. If you are afraid of the exam, how can you perform those difficult tasks."

Hearing this, Gaara looked at Naruto differently.

He sensed the breath of the same kind from Naruto, and he had a hunch that if the two of them became friends, they would definitely have a lot to talk about.

Stepping into the depths of the Death Forest, the four teams could clearly feel that the vegetation was much more lush, and the big trees above their heads blocked the sunlight, and only a little sunlight could be seen on the ground.

At the same time, a faint mist began to float in the air, further affecting the vision. Fortunately, the team had white eyes, which could always lock the position and avoid getting lost in the forest.

However, the faint miasma in the air made people feel a little short of oxygen and dizzy.

A few minutes later, the group found the traces of the Sound Ninja, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground to restore their chakra.

At this moment, the Sound Ninja seemed to notice the team in the dark, and a female ninja began to perform ninjutsu.

The ninjutsu performed by the female ninja was not the basic five escape techniques, but a sound wave ninjutsu, which spread the chakra in the form of sound waves and affected the enemy's five senses.

Naruto and others were affected by the illusion and reacted quickly.

This illusion is spread by sound. As long as you make a louder sound than the opponent, you can prevent the ninjutsu from taking effect.

Naruto raised his hand to condense the Rasengan and threw it out.

The high-speed rotating Rasengan formed a huge roar, clearing a road while leaving a striking pit on the ground.

After seeing Naruto's strength, the face of the Sound Ninja changed slightly, and then he fled again.

This time they did not flee in the same direction, but fled in all directions. They seemed to be desperate, and they had to prevent them from passing at the risk of not being able to advance.

After the Oto-nin scattered and fled, Naruto and the others could only temporarily separate.

This might be a conspiracy of the Oto-nin, but now they could only bite the bullet and go ahead. They didn't want to stop at the second round.

A few minutes later, Naruto's team caught up with the fleeing Oto-nin.

The other side really had an ambush. In addition to the fleeing Oto-nin, there was also an ambush of a whole Oto-nin team. Judging from the smiles on their faces, there must be traps all around.

However, they were not worried about the traps. They were confident that they could defeat any team.

At this time, one of the Oto-nin slowly took off his mask, revealing a feminine face, and slowly said to Naruto's team:

"Nice to meet you. I am Orochimaru, the rebel ninja of Konoha. I will be your opponent from now on. Please take care of me."

The team on Gaara's side was also stopped by a mysterious man.

Before the mysterious man took off his mask, Gaara, Temari and Kankuro felt that he looked familiar. Both his figure and his standing posture were exactly the same as their fathers.

After their father became a rebel ninja, they sometimes thought of him and the scene after they met.

But when this scene really came to them, they were a little overwhelmed.

After the two sides were deadlocked for a few seconds, Luo Sha took off his mask and said slowly: "Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, let me test your skills this time."
