Naruto pointed at the light curtain that was starting to become transparent.

"That's a barrier technique. It was specially prepared to ensure that the attacks of you contestants will not affect the audience. As long as you are within this barrier, your attacks cannot extend outside, ensuring that the viewers

life safety.”1

Kakashi's eyes moved away from "Intimate Paradise" and glanced at the transparent light screen.

After all, no matter how they perform, the skills of ninjas are ultimately used to kill people.

The aftermath of the battle will cause ordinary people to lose their lives quickly.

In order to prevent this from happening, it is natural to regulate the aftermath of the ninja's battle within a controllable range.

"It's unnecessary."

On the competition stage, Gaara also noticed this and frowned, as if he was disgusted by such cautious behavior.

He also really disliked the Chunin Exam where he was not able to kill the enemy and had to show his abilities to a group of ants.

For him, a battle that does not result in death is not a battle.

Therefore, he doesn't care what the rules are. If he can't kill people, then he will make the opponent more painful than death and make the organizer feel sincere regret. 8

I regret designing this kind of game where no one can kill.

"I think this is pretty good. I personally don't like to see blood. Let's give a wonderful game." 1

Bai smiled slightly.

Gaara just gave him a cold look and said nothing.

After the barrier layout was completed, the fellow Jonin in the triangle barrier made a gesture to Onigashima Ninja, indicating that the competition could officially begin.

Onigashima Shinobi nodded slightly, seeing that Gaara and Shiro were also ready to fight, raised his palms, and then quickly waved his arms down under the gaze of everyone.

Valley

"Then, the first round begins!"

Kaka!

The moment the match started, Gaara began to form seals, and the floor under his feet suddenly shattered. The cracked stones turned into sand, and condensed into the form of shurikens, hitting Shiro's position.

.

Bai's eyes fluctuated for a moment, water splashed out from under his feet, and the figure disappeared from the place.

When the figure appeared, Shiro was already at Gaara's side, holding a slender Senbon in his hand and stabbing Gaara's neck with one end.

laugh!

Almost instantly, sand flew out of the gourd behind Gaara, forming a sand wall harder than steel on Gaara's side.

Qianben only submerged a little into the sand layer and could not go any further.

Bai was slightly startled, and hurriedly grabbed the thousand books in his hand, and stepped back, causing the sand surrounding his body from the side to be thrown away.

Looking at the sand floating next to Gaara like a living thing, Shiro's eyes narrowed.

Without seeing Gaara's seal, the sand suddenly flew out of the gourd. Could it be the Sand Hidden Village's sand control technique, or the Mu Seal technique? 2

No, it's impossible.

According to the information he knew, although the sand control technique in Sand Hidden Village was very simple, it was not used directly and required coordination with seals.

If the sand in the gourd hadn't disrupted the situation, his attack would have been effective just now.

"What a powerful sand, it can keep up with Bai's water teleportation technique."

On the observation deck, Suigetsu was surprised to see Bai's teleportation attack being directly blocked.

Although he is also proficient in water escape ninjutsu, he is not good at water teleportation, a special teleportation technique that requires precise chakra control.

In terms of Shiro's water teleportation, even a chuunin would have a hard time guarding against it.

"Of course, Gaara is invincible."

Kankuro heard Suigetsu's surprise and smiled coldly.1

He knew exactly what the sand in Gaara's gourd was about.5

The sand in the gourd has nothing to do with Gaara's own consciousness, but is controlled by the consciousness of his late mother Garuro, which will automatically protect Gaara's life, and so far, few people have been able to cross this special sand.

, directly attacking Gaara’s body.3

"How dare you say that for a guy who was eliminated in the qualifiers. Bai's strength is more than that."

Shuiyue sneered.

"Isn't it the same for you, Kirigakure's?"

Not to be outdone, Kankuro retorted.

"..."

Suigetsu felt like going up to Kankuro and beating him up.

"Does the sand contain living things? It seems that your master has good defense methods."

Shiraishi turned to Luo Sha and said with a smile.

He could feel that the sand inside Gaara's gourd had strong soul and vitality fluctuations. 1

This is just like the clone created by Shiraishi, which can restore chakra by itself, fight by itself, and can act autonomously according to its own consciousness without the need for deliberate control by the practitioner.

Although Gaara's sand has not yet reached this level, it is already very close to the clone created by Shiraishi.

In addition to self-disciplined actions, it has certain restrictions. For example, it cannot actively attack and will only passively protect Gaara. If the enemy does not attack, the sand will remain silent and will not attack the enemy.

But chakra is self-sufficient and does not require the practitioner to provide it, which can be said to be quite impressive.

In other words, protracted war dialogue is very detrimental.

Not to mention, in terms of chakra volume, Gaara can be said to be the top group among the participating genin.

With Shukaku in his body, apart from Naruto, no other genin among the competing genin could match him in terms of chakra volume.

"Everywhere, there are things that cannot be put on the stage. He still has a long way to go in the future."

Rasa said humbly, while looking at Gaara, his eyes were filled with complex expressions.

On the stage of the competition, through previous tests, Shiro had already determined Gaara's sand control speed and what level of hardness the sand had when condensed.

The speed of sand is almost the same as his water teleportation, and its hardness exceeds that of steel.

This means that if you want to attack Gaara himself, he needs faster speed and a more powerful attack.

"What a difficult guy. Mr. Zabuza is still watching me from above, so I can't give up the fight at will." 5

As he spoke, Bai gathered an ice mirror beside him and walked into the ice mirror without hesitation.

Gaara sensed something and saw an ice mirror appearing above his head. Shiro's figure suddenly flew out from the ice mirror above and headed straight for Gaara below.

The sand formed a wall of sand above Gaara's head that was harder than steel, once again blocking the Senbon in Shiro's right hand. 1

But this time, because Shiro's speed was faster than before, the sand wall could only barely block Senbon's attack.

Just when Gaara raised his hand, preparing to attack Shiro, Shiro's left hand turned into an afterimage and formed a seal.

"Qian Sha Shuixiang!"

In Gaara's widened eyes, a large amount of water senbon immediately emerged from the surrounding air and flew towards Gaara's body.

A 360-degree attack with no blind spots. If he could not withstand this attack, there was no doubt that Gaara would be shot into a hedgehog by countless Mizusenbons, thus seriously injuring him and ending the game.

boom!

Sand and water splashed everywhere and scattered around.

But unlike the scattered water, the sand flew away under Shui Qianbon's attack, but quickly regrouped and turned into a hand of sand, grabbing Shiro's body.

Shiro's eyes flashed, then disappeared from Gaara's eyes, and he stopped at a safe location.

Gaara stretched out his hand and touched his face, and could clearly feel the moisture between his fingers.

Although he successfully blocked Shiro's sneak attack, the water traces from the scattered water senbon still splashed on his face.

Then, a very ferocious smile appeared on Gaara's face, as if he was excited that the opponent in front of him could touch his body, giving people a terrible sense of oppression.

"Still not working?"

Bai murmured.

However, the next attack should be effective.

Because although the sand blocked his attack, it also successfully caught the water.

Sand stained with water will slow down. As long as it continues to maintain the same speed as before, Gaara's sand will not be able to defend against his attack in the next round.

Just do it if you want to, repeat Bai's old trick, condense an ice mirror in a safe place, and disappear into it when your body disappears.

Then this time, instead of condensing an ice mirror above Gaara, an ice mirror was condensing behind Gaara.

The moment the ice mirror appeared behind him, the sand coming out of the gourd behind Gaara also reacted instantly.
