Chapter 134: Gaara

The range of the waterfall is very large.

It can be said to be overwhelming.

Haruno Sakura and the other two's faces changed dramatically.

This kind of ninjutsu is impossible for a Genin level.

"I'll handle it!"

Akimichi Chōji stood in front of Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino.

They don't have a good way to deal with this large-scale ninjutsu.

Yamanaka Ino is a typical sensory ninjutsu user.

The secret techniques she possesses are mostly focused on control and reconnaissance.

She only has one or two ninjutsu for direct combat.

Although Haruno Sakura is Tsunade's disciple, her combat skills are limited to medical ninjutsu and physical techniques.

In the five major villages, pure physical technique users are not highly regarded.

Konoha's perception of them improved only after the emergence of Might Dai and Might Guy.

The reason is simple.

Most physical technique users find it difficult to effectively counter ninjutsu.

The Eight Inner Gates are an exception.

Expansion Jutsu!

Akimichi Chōji shouted loudly, his body grew extremely large, instantly turning into a giant tens of meters tall.

Super Push!

His hands continued to expand, opening his palms like two large shields, directly blocking the waterfall.

Akimichi Chōji's face turned red.

Under the tremendous force, a large amount of water surged back.

Li Xiang quickly retreated.

Seeing this, the purple sunflowers that had just emerged from the ground quickly formed hand seals.

Summoning Jutsu: Rain Minato!

A door appeared out of thin air.

It blocked the water flow in front of her and Fuyong.

Water Style: Water Dragon Bomb!

After avoiding the first wave of impact, Li Xiang stepped on the water surface and formed hand seals.

Under the traction of his chakra, the residual water flow around him quickly formed into a water dragon.

The sound of roaring echoed.

The water dragon roared and flew out.

Along the way, it absorbed the blessings of the previous ninjutsu and continued to grow stronger.

Akimichi Chōji's giant hands closed again and grabbed the water dragon.

But the impact force made him retreat.

"If this continues, we will lose!"

Haruno Sakura gritted her teeth and said, "Ino, try to control him. If you can't, switch to being his teammate."

Yamanaka Ino didn't hesitate and assumed a secret technique posture, aiming her hands at Li Xiang.

Mind Transfer Technique!

An invisible mental attack shot through the air.

After a moment, it approached Li Xiang.

But the next moment, Yamanaka Ino spat out blood.

Her pupils contracted, her body trembling as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

Li Xiang, as a true ancestor, has experienced countless battles and bloodshed in his mind.

For Yamanaka Ino, it is too early.

Seeing this, Haruno Sakura knew that the control had failed.

But she didn't have time to comfort her friend because Akimichi Chōji seemed to be struggling.

A gust of air surged at her feet.

In an instant, she crossed several meters and appeared in front of Li Xiang.

Sakura Flower Rush!

A large amount of chakra gathered in her wrist, and she smashed the ground with a punch.

In an instant, the earth shook.

A large pit immediately appeared in the desert.

Li Xiang leaped into the air and aimed a punch at Haruno Sakura.

Water Style: Powerful Water Wrist Technique!

Water Style from the Hozuki clan.

Its original usage is to enhance the strength of the wrist when used with a ninja sword, enough to cut through steel.

But Li Xiang uses it as brute strength.

Haruno Sakura's counterattack is also a punch.

A loud sound spread out.

The collision between the two even produced shockwaves.

After all, Li Xiang is a Jōnin.

Chakra is more powerful than Haruno Sakura, who has not yet mastered the Hundred Healings Mark.

Her body immediately flew backwards.

But she was caught by Akimichi Chōji.

At this moment, Li Xiang noticed that his two teammates were fighting.

Is it the Mind Body Switch Technique?

He looked at Yamanaka Ino, who was indeed lying on the ground.

Li Xiang ignored her.

Without using the Summoning Beast, Ziyanghua's strength is not far behind Fuyong.

The battle between the two will not end in a short time.

Water Style·Water Trumpet Technique!

Li Xiang continued to attack.

A water flow shot out of his mouth like an arrow.

After being caught, Haruno Sakura immediately fell to the ground.

But her speed was still a bit slow.

Akimichi Chōji's giant palm directly slapped the water flow.

But upon contact, the water flow instantly expanded, as if a trumpet flower was blooming.

The power also increased countless times.

He did not expect this change.

In a hurry, he actually fell backwards.

Haruno Sakura immediately noticed the falling shadow.

She was below at this moment.

According to reason, she should have moved away in time.

But Yamanaka Ino was also within range.

Haruno Sakura took a deep breath, a massive amount of Chakra surged into her hands, and she directly supported Akimichi Chōji's body.

The Expansion Jutsu not only made him huge on the outside, but also increased his body weight accordingly.

It has to be said that his monstrous strength is terrifying.

"Ah!"

Haruno Sakura shouted loudly, stabilizing Akimichi Chōji.

But the excessive release of Chakra made her feel weak.

Li Xiang naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

He instantly rushed forward, but did not attack with his fists.

Because he was afraid of killing Haruno Sakura.

However, with her half-hearted Hundred Healings Mark, it would be difficult for her to die.

Illusion·Tree Binding Death!

Haruno Sakura suddenly felt a giant tree behind her, its branches entwining her, quickly locking her hands and feet.

It's a genjutsu!

And it's the traditional genjutsu of Konoha.

Haruno Sakura, as a rare top student, has a solid knowledge base.

In addition to medical ninjutsu, she is also talented in genjutsu.

But why does this guy know Konoha's genjutsu?

However, her question could not be answered.

Li Xiang struck her neck with a knife hand, causing her to faint.

He could kill, but there was no need to.

After all, he belongs to the Konoha camp.

He couldn't act without any restraint like a player, right?

"Little Sakura!"

Akimichi Chōji immediately exclaimed.

He hesitated for a moment.

His body returned to its original form.

Because Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino were beside Li Xiang.

If Akimichi Chōji were to attack, his large body would obviously affect his two teammates.

Human Bullet Tank!

He rolled on the ground.

His limbs and head retracted, forming a green ball.

Li Xiang clenched his fists.

Water Style·Water Barrier!

A wall made of water rose up in front of him out of thin air.

Akimichi Chōji crashed into it, feeling a bit dizzy.

Li Xiang knew that he had a secret medicine.

If he were to use it, it would obviously be quite troublesome. Taking advantage of his momentary loss of consciousness, Li Xiang appeared directly above his head.

Water Prison Technique!

A huge water ball enveloped Akimichi Chōji.

Making it impossible for him to break free.

Li Xiang looked at the violet sunflower and hibiscus again.

He didn't know which one was being controlled by Yamanaka Ino.

But it didn't matter.

He spoke, "Return to your body and give us the scroll, and I will let you go. Otherwise, you should know your situation."

Yamanaka Ino glanced at the unconscious Haruno Sakura and struggling Akimichi Chōji, quickly releasing her ninjutsu.

Her fallen body stood up again.

"The Heavenly Scroll, lucky you."

Li Xiang glanced at the scroll, released the Water Prison Technique, and smiled, "Until next time."

Akimichi Chōji, who had finally gotten fresh air, breathed heavily.

Yamanaka Ino forced a smile.

In her mind, she thought, "Only a genius like me will see you again."

As Li Xiang and the three of them left, she quickly ran to Haruno Sakura's side, her hands emitting green chakra.

At this moment, she was somewhat grateful that she had learned Healing Jutsu through her competition and rivalry with her best friend.

Otherwise, the situation would be very dangerous right now.

Encountering another ninja team, it would be difficult for the two of them and the unconscious Haruno Sakura to win.

Warm green light flowed.

Haruno Sakura quickly regained consciousness.

Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Chōji immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the ninja didn't have any intention to harm them.

They were really lucky.

Li Xiang handed the Heavenly Scroll and Earth Coiling Scroll to the violet sunflower.

In response to her puzzled look, he explained, "I will have another mission later. You don't need to worry about me. Just participate in the Chunin Exam as usual."

The violet sunflower nodded without asking what the mission was.

Li Xiang and the three of them headed towards the center of the Demon Desert.

Soon, a strong wind blew.

The violet sunflower and hibiscus were slightly startled, looking around and noticing the sandstorm that covered the sky in the distance, their faces turning pale.

Has it finally arrived?

Li Xiang immediately said, "Let's take shelter underground."

The violet sunflower immediately remembered her summoning beast and quickly summoned an ant.

The three of them followed the passage and reached the underground.

"When the sandstorm comes, the exam will definitely be suspended."

Li Xiang said, "Wait here and act according to the situation."

"You're leaving?"

The violet sunflower sensed his implied meaning.

"Yes."

Li Xiang explained, "If someone asks about my whereabouts, just say that we accidentally got separated in the sandstorm. Even if they suspect, they won't suspect me."

The violet sunflower nodded and said, "Be careful."

Li Xiang returned to the surface.

At this time, the yellow sand filled the sky and the ground, making it almost impossible to see anything within a meter.

He casually put up a barrier.

Li Xiang put on the Akatsuki organization's clothes again and wore a mask.

Next, he would meet up with Hoshigaki Kisame using a specific method.

At the same time, in the center tower of the Demon Desert.

Gaara stood in the monitoring room.

All the screens were already unclear.

He remained silent for a moment and said, "Notify them to suspend the exam and go rescue the people."

The latter half of the sentence was directed at Temari and Kankuro.

Since becoming the Kazekage, he had changed his hot-tempered nature and become a ninja who only considered the village.

"Not appropriate."

Temari shook her head and said, "You should know that there are people in the village who have objections to you becoming the Kazekage. This sandstorm is undoubtedly a good opportunity for them to take action. If we leave, you will be in danger."

"I am the Kazekage."

Gaara disagreed with her view, "If I fear death, it will only make them more rampant."

"But..."

Temari wanted to say a few more words.

Essentially, she was a brocon.

"You go rescue them, don't waste time."

Gaara raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "If they really want to take action, I will make them understand that I became the Kazekage through my own strength."

Seeing his resolute appearance, Temari knew that saying anything else would be useless.

Considering that Gaara was currently the strongest combat power in Sunagakure, there shouldn't be any problems.

After Temari and Kankuro left, Gaara also appeared in the desert.

The sand stopped around him.

He pressed his right eye.

An eyeball appeared and rose into the air, searching for the Genin participating in the exam.

Soon, he found his target.

Gaara performed the Body Flicker Technique.

There were three Sand Shinobi.

"Lord Kazekage!"

Upon seeing Gaara, they immediately showed expressions of surprise.

"You stay here, Temari and Kankuro will come to pick you up later."

Gaara waved his hand.

A shield made of sand covered them.

Desert Wave!

As long as Temari and Kankuro see it, they will recognize it as his ninjutsu.

Gaara then continued to rescue people.

Meanwhile, Li Xiang found Hoshigaki Kisame further away.

As the leader of the Rain Shinobi Village, he had been resting in the room provided by Sunagakure.

They were separated from the examinees.

This was to prevent cheating.

Hoshigaki Kisame was waiting for the sandstorm that Li Xiang mentioned.

He had asked him before why he was so certain there would be a sandstorm.

Li Xiang replied, "I observed the night sky."

If Hoshigaki Kisame hadn't been affected by Sasuke's Tsukuyomi, he would definitely not believe his nonsense.

He might even report him.

There is a traitor in our Akatsuki organization.

But what he didn't expect was that a sandstorm actually occurred.

Hoshigaki Kisame was greatly shocked and couldn't understand.

But he quickly entered the state of carrying out the mission.

After leaving behind a Shadow Clone, he quickly appeared in the Desert of Demons.

"Use sensory ninjutsu to find Gaara's location."

Li Xiang spoke up.

The power of ninjutsu depends largely on Chakra.

The more Chakra you output, the greater the power.

Refer to Uchiha Madara's Great Fireball Technique.

Hoshigaki Kisame had nothing else, but he had so much Chakra that he couldn't use it all.

But in a moment, he already had a clue.

The two of them quickly ran northward.

Gaara stopped after saving five ninja teams in a row.

In front of him appeared a monk.

He was wearing a robe, had a bald head, held a pipa, and had a cold gaze.

It was obvious that something was wrong.

Does Sunagakure have monks?

Gaara frowned slightly.

Although he didn't have eyebrows, it couldn't stop his current doubt.

Fortunately, after becoming Kazekage, he had come into contact with many things.

He quickly remembered that Sunagakure did have a temple.

"What kind of person are you?" Gaara asked.

Fukuro was the previous One Tail Jinchūriki, and he was indeed a monk.

"I didn't expect Lord Kazekage to still remember him?"

The young monk smiled faintly and said, "He is my master, and I am called Faya."

"You are looking for me at this moment, representing those who oppose me?"

Gaara wasn't stupid.

Faya didn't appear early or late, but chose this time to appear.

Saying that there was no problem was definitely a lie.

"They have nothing to do with me."

Faya held the pipa in his left hand and took out an iron pick with his right hand, saying, "I came here just to avenge my master."

"Avenge? I don't understand."

Gaara shook his head and said, "If I remember correctly, he should have died of old age."

To be honest, being able to die a natural death in the ninja world was already extremely lucky.

"But he was imprisoned by you for a lifetime!"

Faya's voice suddenly increased, "So I want to completely end the Jinchūriki system and kill you, Shukaku!"

After saying that, he played the pipa with the pick.

A pleasant sound rang out.

Gaara immediately became alert.

To kill Shukaku was equivalent to killing him, the Jinchūriki.

Once a Jinchūriki is separated from the tailed beast, death is inevitable.
