Chapter 88 [Konoha Collapse Plan]

Due to the absence of Hyuga Neji's team, Gaara's Suna Ninja team automatically advanced.

For the next game, Rock had no choice but to withdraw Mu Dun first, otherwise the nine Konoha heroes would have no choice but to fight in the forest.

But the subsequent battles, whether it was the secret skill showdown between Inozuka Butterfly and Aburame Inuzuka, or the taijutsu and ninjutsu competition between the Uchiha orphans and the sound ninja Six Paths Toss, did not make any waves.

Because their game is so normal, it is completely in line with the level of this stage.

Audiences who have seen huge tree roots can no longer look back and want to continue watching some battles beyond this level.

And it was not until the next day, when the semi-finals of the Konoha Chuunin Examination began, that Rock reappeared, and the duel field became lively again!

"Konoha genin are really freaks."

"What's this? I also fought against the wood-escape monster in the second forest of death."

"Eight Hundred Miles Flying Kunai, right?"

"I was at the scene, and he looked at each other from 800 miles away and moistened his eyes."

By the time the match between Rock and Gaara's team officially started, the place was already full. The entire duel field was a mixed bag, with characters from all over the world, and some were genin who had been eliminated in the chunin exams. , they did not return to their own country, but chose to finish the Chunin Examination here.

After all, there are not many duels of the quality like yesterday. For many ninjas, it is worth gaining experience.

Including Uchiha Sasuke and others who had just fought yesterday, they were also watching the game with their leading jounin.

"This time it's the turn of that Sand Ninja monster to fight Rock." Inuzuka Kiba sighed slightly, because yesterday their team lost to the Ino-Ka-chan combination.

But it's okay, this way I don't have to fight these two monsters.

Uchiha Sasuke was speechless on the side. There were too many strong men in this class, which made him feel a little powerless. He didn't know when he would have the power to defeat Uchiha Itachi.

Kankuro in the audience could not help but sneered as he looked at the uninformed and cheering people around him.

Last night, their leading Jonin Maki suddenly informed them to prepare for today's game.

Because the plan to collapse Konoha will be completely launched in full view of the public.

These people will pay the price for their behavior of watching the fun!

only……

Kankuro couldn't help but flinch when he thought of what happened to Kabuto Yakushi yesterday.

But thinking that there was an invincible monster inside Gaara, Kankuro calmed down slightly.

"The first game of four into two, Rock vs. Gaara, Kankuro, Temari!"

"The battle begins!" Moonlight Hayate ignored Kankuro's heart and quickly announced the start of the game.

A light wind blew between the four of them.

As the sound of the battle beginning fell, no one among the four took the lead.

Kankuro looked at Rock's familiar eyes with some hesitation, but he gritted his teeth and summoned the puppet from his back.

"Puppetry·Crow!"

"elder sister!"

Kankuro immediately shouted to Temari. On weekdays, they often fight against the enemy together. Crow is responsible for close combat, and Temari is responsible for long-range wind escape support. Nothing has gone wrong.

"Sister? Huh?"

Kankuro looked back, only to find that Temari did not take out the fan, but turned around and walked out of the duel.

Well, why are you just watching?

No, you voted directly without even looking at it? !

"Kankuro, get out of here."

Temari paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "This is not a battle that we can intervene in. You are just holding us back by staying there."

She had competed with Rock before and was very aware of the comprehensiveness of Wood Release. To put it bluntly, she would not need the Tree World Advent used yesterday to fight against them. Even ordinary Wood Release Ninjutsu would not be necessary. Not something they can compete with.

"He's right..." Gaara looked at Rock carefully.

"Get out of here, Kankuro, this is the best option for you."

Gaara's tone was indifferent, but actually he hoped that Kankuro could leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Because next, he wanted to directly use the technique of pretending to sleep.

After hearing this, Kankuro immediately saw through Gaara's plan, and then he looked at his younger brother Gaara in shock...

'Gaara...are you going to use that technique? ’

‘Are you so murderous that you don’t even care about the code for Konoha’s collapse? ’

Unfortunately, the doubts in Kankuro's eyes were not received by Gaara, and he really couldn't say anything in public. He could only pray that Gaara still had some sense, and then silently left the duel field.

In the blink of an eye, only Gaara and Rock were left on the field.

"Get out of here, Rock."

Gaara looked at Rock in front of him calmly and said, "What I said to Kankuro will also work for you."

"Leave. It's best to surrender now and escape from Konoha immediately. This is also the best choice for you."

Gaara is not as impulsive as Kankuro imagined. He has always been calm and rational that ordinary people cannot understand.

His seemingly violent temper was just because Ichibi Shukaku was in his body, and he couldn't sleep at all.

And a person who can't sleep all year round will hardly have a good temper on the outside.

Gaara slowly stretched out his hand, and the sand flowed in his hands. He looked directly at Rock: "Someone said, let me wait for a signal..."

Kankuro and Temari raised their heads suddenly, looking at Gaara in disbelief, not knowing what he was going to do.

"But, they didn't actually set any signal. To be precise..." The sand gathered around Gaara, "My rampage is that signal..."

It's a bit hard to believe, but Gaara just feels that they, the Sand Ninja, may have been used by someone.

But what does it matter?

Anyway... I haven't slept for a long time...

Father, brother, they don't care about these, and they don't understand the pain of suppressing the tailed beasts for many years, not being able to sleep every night, and fighting monsters mentally...

The absolute defensive sand slowly gathered into a semicircle around Gaara.

Like a mother holding her child.

"Rock... I watched your game yesterday, you are very strong..." Gaara looked serious: "But, it's not enough."

"If you don't choose to escape, then do your best to stop me before I fall asleep!"

"Because this is your only chance."

Suppressing the tailed beasts all the time has exhausted Gaara.

Shukaku is the only one among all the tailed beasts who is proficient in sealing techniques. He is also one of the few tailed beasts that has a strong ability to interfere with the Jinchūriki when sealed.

The Jinchūriki possessed by him will lose their consciousness as long as they fall asleep.

Then they will transform into terrifying monsters and wreak havoc.

Gaara, who was wrapped in sand, slowly formed the art of dozing off -

"Ren, Shen, You, Chen..."

Gaara even deliberately slowed down the speed of forming seals. He was waiting for Rock's attack, and was also expecting Rock to stop him, stop the Sand Ninja from being used by others, and stop the plan to collapse Konoha, which was like a joke.

But unfortunately, Rock in front of him did not move.

'Why? Why don't you stop me? '

'Do you know what monster you will face next? ' Gaara kept asking in his heart, and his doubts accumulated more and more.

"What's wrong? The speed of your seal seems to be slower..." Rock looked at Gaara curiously.

What's wrong?

Are you asking me what's wrong?

Gaara's pupils dilated instantly, and even the hand seal movement stopped. He looked at Rock angrily: "You guy, do you know what kind of monster you are going to face?"

"That is not a monster that you can resist by placing a few saplings!"

"Too arrogant!"

Gaara's face was a little ferocious.

Rock's contempt for Shukaku made Gaara angry. He has been fighting this monster since he was born!

His mother died, his brother was afraid of him, his father hated him, and his uncle assassinated him!

The monster in the body is the source of all tragedies!

Why? !

Why can you despise it so much?

This made Gaara feel that his efforts were trampled on. He has been restraining Shukaku's violent behavior. Is it so worthless in the eyes of outsiders?

Then what is the value of my life?

Is it really...only killing left?

Gaara's breath suddenly became thicker. He stopped making seals and covered his head in pain. Shukaku's consciousness began to attack quietly when his defense was weak!

"Do you really know what kind of monster that is? Even my father, the Kazekage, would find it difficult to suppress him, and he would cause great damage to the village every time." Gaara panted heavily, using his last strength to suppress the monster consciousness in his body.

But a moment later, the violent consciousness surged into his heart, and Gaara finally couldn't suppress the idea of ​​running wild in his body.

The seal of the fake sleep technique was madly formed in his hands.

"Ren, Shen, You, Chen..." One seal after another was formed.

The surrounding ninjas and hokage finally felt the bad breath.

It was a feeling of impending storm.

"Yes, that's it, Gaara." Only Rock was still looking at everything in front of him calmly: "Just keep making seals like this."

"Then sleep peacefully..."

"Because, nothing will happen in front of me."
