Chapter 332 I killed all those who looked down on me!
Chapter 332 I killed all those who looked down on me!
On the large screen in the Water Kingdom Square, the assessment footage of the Misty Forest is being broadcast live.
High-ranking officials and viewers from various countries gathered in front of the screen, their eyes fixed on the candidates' figures flashing across the screen.
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, stood at the front of the Sunagakure ranks, arms crossed, his face grim.
On the screen, Gaara is rescued by Kankuro, with blood on the corner of his mouth, indicating he has suffered a minor injury.
"Useless! As the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, you can't even control the Tailed Beast's chakra, and you got beaten up like this by a genin from the Land of Water. You're a disgrace to Sunagakure!"
Luo Sha cursed under his breath, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Yashamaru, standing beside him, quickly advised, "Lord Kazekage, Gaara just hasn't fully mastered the One-Tailed Beast yet... After all, he's an imperfect Jinchuriki, and it's difficult for him to easily use the Tailed Beast's chakra. Please give him some more time..."
Rasa stared intently at the screen: "Time? How much time has he wasted since he became a Jinchūriki? He can't even do the most basic Tailed Beast chakra manipulation; he's a failed Jinchūriki!"
Suddenly, Gaara on the screen trembled violently, his previously unfocused eyes turned crimson, and the sand around him began to stir uncontrollably.
No one knows that at the moment Naruto defeated him, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto mocked the One-Tail through the collision of chakra.
The Nine-Tails' voice, laced with mockery, directly entered the One-Tail's consciousness: "Hahaha, isn't this the weakest One-Tail, Shukaku? Even your jinchūriki is trash!"
"Shut up! You filthy fox! I'm not the weakest! I'm going to kill him! Kill everyone who looks down on me!"
Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, instantly flew into a rage, its consciousness surging wildly within Gaara's body. Gaara, already emotionally unstable due to his defeat, was instantly thrown into disarray, his eyes flashing with violence and killing intent.
Rasa frowned even more as he watched Gaara's unusual behavior on the screen: "What's wrong with this kid? His chakra fluctuations are so chaotic, it doesn't seem like normal anger..."
He vaguely guessed that it might be the work of the One-Tailed Beast, but he was even more disappointed. He couldn't even control his emotions. Such a Jinchūriki could not become a fighting force for Sunagakure at all.
On the screen, Gaara slowly got up, supporting himself on the ground. His wounds slowly healed, and the sand around him reformed under the influence of the One-Tailed Beast, but it appeared extremely frenzied.
He walked towards the direction of the Misty Fortress, and with each step he took, the killing intent around him grew stronger.
Not long after, three familiar figures suddenly appeared in the scene.
Kikyo, Karin, and Shion walked side by side. Kikyo held an exquisite compass in her hand and was smiling as she discussed directions with Karin.
Karin fiddled with her phone, occasionally snapping photos of her surroundings.
Ziyuan followed the two, curiously observing the plants in the forest. The princess costumes worn by the three of them were particularly eye-catching.
"She's the princess of the Water Kingdom!"
The audience in the square instantly stirred, and Luo Sha's heart tightened.
As expected, Gaara on the screen stopped abruptly upon seeing the three. The sand around him swirled wildly, coalescing into several sharp sand spears, and he stared at Kikyo and the others with bloodshot eyes, clearly intending to attack.
Just then, Kankuro rushed forward and grabbed Gaara, shouting, "Gaara, are you crazy? They are the daughters of the three Uchiha peaks, princesses of the Land of Water! If you hurt them, the entire Sand Village will be wiped out!"
Gaara's body stiffened, and the One-Tailed Beast's consciousness roared within him: "Kill them! Kill these people who are in the way!"
Kankuro's pulling and the intimidating presence of his identity as the "Princess of the Land of Water" temporarily prevented him from moving. The sand blade trembled in his palm but did not fall.
On the screen, Kikyo seemed to notice his unusual behavior. She turned her head and looked over with a hint of wariness in her eyes. Then, she quickly left with Karin and Shion without lingering.
"Ahhh... Ahh!" Gaara watched the three figures disappear into the distance, and the One-Tailed Beast within him grew even more violent. He slammed his fist into the tree trunk beside him, and the trunk was instantly engulfed in sand and shattered into powder.
The audience in the square held their breath, and Luo Sha's face became even more unsightly.
Gaara's loss of control has reached the point where he could cause trouble at any moment.
Finally, under Kankuro's forceful dragging, Gaara reluctantly headed towards the Misty Fortress, but the crimson in his eyes and the killing intent remained undiminished.
The screen switched, showing Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten relying on Neji's Byakugan to determine their direction.
Hyuga Neji's Byakugan chakra flowed around him, his gaze piercing through the mist, clearly seeing the Sand Village team rapidly approaching a hundred meters behind him.
Especially the chaotic and violent chakra emanating from Gaara instantly put him on alert.
"Lee, Tenten, there are Sunagakure people approaching ahead, and the leader is Gaara from Sunagakure."
Hyuga Neji withdrew his Byakugan and said in a serious tone, "The tailed beast chakra within him is very unstable and carries an extremely strong killing intent. It seems he intends to attack us."
Rock Lee exclaimed excitedly, "Neji, let me fight him! I've never fought a tailed beast before, and I want to test my strength!"
Neji Hyuga looked at Rock Lee with a serious expression: "Lee, if you want to win, you have to use the Eight Gates, otherwise you have no chance."
Upon hearing this, Lee Rock's eyes instantly hardened.
He knew Neji wouldn't lie to him, especially when it came to the outcome of a battle.
"Neji, I understand!"
He raised his hand and grabbed the heavy iron ring on his ankle, which was engraved with the words "roots" and pulled hard. With two loud bangs, the heavy iron ring fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The moment he was freed from his restraints, Rock Lee's aura noticeably sharpened: "I've long wanted to test just how strong I can be at full power!"
Tian Tian, furrowing his brow as he tidied his ninja tool pouch, said, "Locke, be careful. I heard his sand defense is very strong. Don't try to fight him head-on!"
Before they could prepare, the Sand Village team had already appeared on the screen.
Gaara spotted Neji and his two companions instantly. The Konoha headbands on their bodies and the One-Tailed Beast's voice echoed within him once more: "They're from Konoha! They're the comrades of the Konoha ninja who defeated you! Kill them!"
Gaara, who was already somewhat irritable, was instantly enraged by the word "Konoha".
He had just been defeated by Naruto, a Konoha genin, and now he was encountering Konoha ninjas again. All his humiliation and anger erupted instantly!
"The people of Konoha... all deserve to die... all deserve to die!"
Influenced by the tailed beast's chakra, Gaara has gone somewhat insane!
Rock Lee leaped forward, raised his right hand, and made a prohibition gesture: "Gaara... I am Rock Lee of Konoha... Your opponent is me!"
Gaara roared and abruptly broke free from Kankuro's grasp: "You asked for death, don't blame me..."
