Chapter 24
The truth is, this is a personal attack. Naruto was speechless for a while after being scolded by Kurama. He could only sit on the ground in a sullen mood and think about life, and by the way, think about who the duck in Kurama's mouth is.
If only it was Sakura, hehe~
Inner world Kurama couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this guy's silly smile. Really, with Naruto like this, only Hinata can like him...
Wait a minute, Kurama suddenly thought of the girls in the theater, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Kurama suddenly realized.
Good guy, the clown turned out to be me.
But forget it, three games have passed, and now the most important thing is the highly anticipated Uchiha Sasuke. No one wants to miss the next game. Although there was a little unpleasantness in the previous game, it doesn’t matter, the most important person is about to go on the court.
Everyone stared at the competition venue below. With the departure of Shikamaru and Temari, the venue became empty again, and everyone was looking forward to the people who were about to go on the court.
Shiranui Genma stood in the middle of the court with a thousand books in his mouth, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen above.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply, then shook his head gently.
"It's not here yet." Shiranui Genma was also helpless. He took out the thousand books in his mouth and was about to say something, but at this moment, a gust of yellow sand flashed before his eyes.
Shiranui Genma's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously looked behind him, but saw Gaara carrying a gourd on his back with his hands on his chest, looking at him calmly.
It was strange. Gaara's face was expressionless, but Shiranui Genma felt like he was facing a wild beast, a beast without reason and only with killing desire, which made him subconsciously tense his muscles.
The Kazekage looked at this scene with a smile: "It seems that Gaara can't wait any longer. Lord Hokage, where is Uchiha Sasuke?"
"He's probably coming soon." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly. He felt a stronger murderous aura from this Gaara than last time. "Lord Kazekage, the appearance of your village ninja seems a little strange."
Don't worry, he won't evolve... ah no.
The Kazekage smiled mysteriously: "Maybe it's because of the previous missions that his mentality has been affected."
Will he appear in such a strong murderous aura if he is affected? Sarutobi Hiruzen pouted. He obviously didn't believe it. If the Kazekage told him that Gaara would evolve, it would be more credible.
Shiranui Genma took a deep breath, held the Senbon in his mouth again, looked at Gaara and said, "Uchiha Sasuke hasn't come yet, I'm going to announce your victory."
"No need." Gaara replied coldly, looking at Shiranui Genma with almost no fluctuations in his eyes, "I can wait."
Shiranui Genma was silent for a while, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen in the distance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to him obscurely.
Shiranui Genma understood and said, "Since you, the contestant, have no objection, then wait for ten minutes according to the rules of the competition. If Uchiha Sasuke doesn't come after ten minutes, his participation rules will be directly cancelled."
Gaara's eyes sank obscurely, and then he seemed to think of something, turned his head and looked at the preparation seat: "Then let me fight that Uzumaki Naruto."
Kill him, want to kill him, his blood must be delicious
"Heh." Shiranui Genma chuckled, "Okay."
Because the original match between Gaara and Sasuke was the second match, although the order has changed, the schedule has not changed. The winner between the two will play against the winner of the first match, that is, Naruto. If Sasuke really loses the qualification to play, then Gaara's next match will be against Naruto.
Perhaps he got a satisfactory reply, Gaara closed his eyes and stood there, the yellow sand was completely retracted into the gourd, and the whole person seemed to be in a state of tranquility.
If he didn't have that cold murderous aura, he would be even more peaceful.
As Shiranui Genma notified to wait for ten minutes, it was obvious that the audience on the field were not happy. One by one, they threw the water bottles, popcorn, and paper towels in their hands into the competition field, but they were all ordinary people throwing. They couldn't even throw them to the center of the field, let alone hit anyone.
Just venting their dissatisfaction.
In this waiting, time kept passing, and ten minutes were up.
Gaara opened his eyes almost on time, and the murderous aura on his body became stronger, but this time, his target was no longer Sasuke, but Naruto who was on the standby seat.
No
Chihuo Xuanjian sighed. What could he do at this time? There was no way. He couldn't even think of a reason if the person concerned was not present, so he could only raise his right hand and slowly speak in the midst of all the dissatisfaction and mania of the audience: "I declare that Uchiha Sasuke is absent, missing..."
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kazekage, Asuma, Kai, and some ninjas with good perception all had their eyes lit up at the same time, and their eyes instantly focused on the center of the competition venue.
As their eyes fell, a whirlwind rose from the ground, blowing the messy objects in the field everywhere. At the same time, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in the whirlwind, and with them came a very annoying voice: "Arrived safely."
The whirlwind suddenly dissipated, and Kakashi covered the lower half of his face with "Intimate Paradise" in his hand, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.
Sasuke rolled his eyes beside him: "Kakashi, if I am disqualified, I will fight you to the death."
Who knows if this guy has a hole in his brain? He knew that he was running out of time, but he still insisted on buying the latest work of "Intimate Paradise". He could have arrived before the second exam at least. Now, he was almost disqualified because of a book.
Sasuke got angry when he thought of this. It would be strange if he could treat Kakashi well.
Shiranui Genma was moved to tears. Senior Kakashi, when will you change your lateness? Do you know that if you don't bring Uchiha Sasuke, I will be greeted by these spectators.
Kakashi didn't feel late at all. Instead, he greeted Shiranui Genma with a smile: "Hey Genma, Sasuke's qualification for the competition has not been disqualified yet?"
Shiranui Genma's face froze, and then he sighed silently: "No."
You will be late for another three seconds.
"Now is the match between him and Sand Ninja Gaara. Now that you are here, let's prepare." Shiranui Genma said.
"Okay." Sasuke nodded without hesitation, turned to face Gaara standing not far away, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Gaara didn't change much, still had that calm and cold expression: "Hurry up and start... I can't help but give you to my mother."
Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth, confidence appeared on his face, and the fire of war burned in his eyes: "Ah."
