Naruto: Lama Tobi was exposed by the sky curtain

Chapter 443 Chunin Exams (4)

[Temari: Actually, I've wanted to ask this for a while now. This girl named Akabane-cho doesn't seem to appear in the white world, but she gives me a familiar feeling.]

[Matsuri: Yeah, I feel that way too.]

Kankuro: But a fated showdown? One of them is from Sunagakure, and the other is from Iwagakure. What kind of fated showdown could they possibly have?

[Red Feather Butterfly: Uncle, don't you know? My dad lost to his dad before, so I have to win back.]

[Kankuro: Oh, so you're trying to wash away your father's defeat, huh? Hahaha, as expected of a child from Sunagakure! Good, that's spirited... Wait! What did you call me?!]

[Red Feather Butterfly: Uncle.]

Temari: Then I...

【Red Feather Butterfly: Auntie.】

Gaara: ......

Not only did he gain an adopted son in the future, but now he also has a biological daughter.

Kankuro: Okay, I know which duel it is.

[Temari: Is this the time to be concerned with that kind of thing? Are you perhaps Gaara's daughter?]

[Red Feather Butterfly: Yes, I'm Daddy's daughter.]

[Karuta: No wonder I felt a connection with this little cutie; I never imagined she was my granddaughter. So, who is your mother?]

[Akaba Butterfly: Mom? My mom's name is Kaede, but I like Uncle Shibuki the most. He buys me lots of the latest bags and cosmetics.]

[Maple: Hehehe, it's me, it's me! Gaara, let's have babies too, then there will be more people in the family, it sounds like so much fun.]

Gaara: ......

[Shibuki: Kaede's daughter... Yeah, she's just as cute as your mother was when she was little.]

[Screen continues...]

Kurotsuchi teased Gaara on stage: "Hehe, Mayor of Sunagakure, this match is going to be very interesting."

Gaara nodded.

"Ah."

But when he saw the dead-eyed blond guy with his hands in his pockets opposite him, his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to his battle with Deidara not long after he became Kazekage.

It really wasn't a pleasant memory.

…………

"Secret Technique of Scale Powder"

The Red Feather Butterfly clapped its hands together and spat out a large amount of white, transparent scale powder, which briefly surrounded the area.

Bursting Eyelids twitched.

"Numbness? But it seems there's more to it than that."

Seeing the explosion surrounded by scales, Red Feather Butterfly chuckled and then snapped her fingers to generate sparks.

"Turn to ashes."

When the powder encountered the spark, its thermal motion intensified, its energy became extremely unstable, and an explosion occurred, turning the entire area into a cloud of flames.

Not only that, the fiery cloud began to scorch and devour the ground, in order to prevent the opponent from using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escaping technique) to burrow underground.

If it weren't for the protective measures at the sidelines, the spectators would have been unable to withstand the high temperatures long ago.

"Is that guy alright?"

"I don't know, but there's no way to avoid this kind of explosion."

Meanwhile, Kurotsuchi in the main stands remained completely calm.

As the firelight faded, Akabane-cho narrowed her eyes as she watched the figure gradually emerge on the opposite side.

"Huh? Are you alright?"

The blaster stood there, and apart from his spot which remained intact, the rest of the area was riddled with craters and charred black.

The dead fish eyes of the explosion remained unchanged, and he took out his right hand from his pocket and then formed a hand seal.

"Reciprocity"

Then Akabane-cho felt a sudden dizziness, and her whole body inexplicably became very light. She couldn't help but float up, which reminded her of a ninjutsu.

"Light and Heavy Rock Technique? I didn't expect you could activate it remotely."

Explosion didn't answer her; he put his index and middle fingers together and then flipped them down.

Sensing something, the Akabane Butterfly instantly understood the other party's intention.

"Oh no, it's the Weighted Rock Technique!"

She quickly crossed her arms to protect her chest, and due to the increased weight, she slammed into the ground at an extremely fast speed.

With a loud bang, a large crater was smashed into the ground.

The blaster stared at the large crater but made no further move.

Then cracks began to appear underground, and the Red Feather Butterfly flew out of the pit.

"Ok?"

Blast stared at the wings that were constantly flapping behind the Crimson Butterfly.

"Wings formed from the Seven-Tails' chakra?"

Currently, apart from the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails residing within their Jinchūriki, the other Tailed Beasts have chosen to live with their former Jinchūriki.

Akabane chuckled and said, "That's right, this is the chakra that the person with the same name gave me."

"Wing Slash"

The Crimson Feather Butterfly spun and flapped its wings, unleashing two intersecting blades of energy forward.

Explosion opened his right hand, imbued it with chakra, and then firmly grasped the air blade.

"You managed to hold it with your bare hands?"

Before Akabane Butterfly could even be surprised, Blast clenched his fist and the air blade exploded.

"Explosion Release, huh... since that's the case..."

The red-feathered butterfly flapped its wings and rushed forward.

"You know I'm using Explosion Release, yet you still rush over?"

To be on the safe side, Blast decided to test the waters, so he threw a punch.

When Akabane Butterfly saw that her opponent was going to fight her in close combat, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"We've been tricked."

The wings on her back suddenly disappeared, and linked dark blue patterns appeared on her arms.

"Sealing Technique: Sandfall Sealing"

As she grabbed Blast's fist, sand suddenly appeared beneath his feet, enveloping him. Then, the deep blue patterns on Akabane's arms flowed, binding Blast tightly.

Sensing the difficulty in flowing chakra within his body, Baku realized the Red Feather Butterfly's intentions.

"The sealing technique of the One-Tailed Beast? I see. No wonder it wanted to fight me in close combat."

"Hehe, it's too late to figure it out now."

Red Feather Butterfly believed that the outcome was already decided.

But the next moment, a figure was suddenly ejected from the pit into which she had been thrown, and that figure was slammed against the wall.

Akabane was taken aback. Before she could react, an arm suddenly appeared on the wall and grabbed the figure by the neck.

The audience took a closer look and were shocked to see that it was Blast grabbing Akabane-cho's neck.

It turns out that, just to be on the safe side, what flew out of the crater at first was only her sand clone. Blast also realized her chakra problem, so he used his earth clone to fight back.

The moment his earth clone was sealed and the Red Feather Butterfly's vigilance dropped, he decisively and swiftly launched an attack.

Blast, seeing the struggling Crimson Feather Butterfly in his hand, increased the pressure on it.

"That's it! Earth Release: Super Weighted Rock Technique"

"!!!"

A force of gravity, more than ten times greater than before, was transmitted to the Red Feather Butterfly, making it incredibly difficult for her to even move a single finger.

The explosion floated down and placed her on the ground, pointing a kunai at her.

The latter gave a wry smile and lowered his head.

"I lost."

…………

Next up is the showdown between Arata Sara and Blast.

Sara Shin looked at the other person and said with great enthusiasm:

"In a way, our duel is a kind of destiny."

"..."

This is never going to end, is it?

The explosion only left me feeling exhausted.
