บท 31: Chapter 31: Gaara Goes Berserk
After Gekko announced Ryujiro's victory, the entire hall fell silent for several seconds.
Everyone looked at Ryujiro walking up, their eyes filled with horror.
Their throats were dry, unable to utter a sound.
Another... monster!
Temari looked at Ryujiro unwillingly, fearfully saying, "That annoying guy is actually so terrifying!"
"That kind of swordsmanship is not something a genin possesses."
"Damn it, when did Konoha produce another genius in swordsmanship?"
Temari clenched her fists. When she drew the lots, she thought she could teach her opponent a lesson if it was Ryujiro.
But now, witnessing Ryujiro's strength, Temari felt somewhat fortunate. If her opponent had truly been Ryujiro himself, could she really have dealt with that terrifying swordsmanship?
Indeed, Konoha was truly the cradle of geniuses.
The young girl by that man's side wasn't a simple character either.
Tenten and Lee were already shocked beyond words. Ryujiro's strength was just too terrifying.
No wonder Guy-sensei had just told them the battle would end in an instant.
It was all true!
Many elite Jonins looked at Ryujiro, inevitably recalling the White Fang of Konoha.
Thinking back, the death of Sakumo Hatake still saddened many.
"Indeed, Ryujiro's strength is still as terrifying as ever."
Naruto couldn't help but recall the devilish training sessions he had with Ryujiro. Remembering them now sent chills down his spine.
And Naruto knew the best. This wasn't even all of Ryujiro's strength.
Naruto had witnessed with his own eyes mountains being sliced apart by Ryujiro's blade.
Once that terrifying slash was unleashed, the following exams would be impossible to continue.
The next few matches went as Ryujiro predicted. By the time it was Rock Lee and Gaara's turn, Ryujiro's lazy demeanor finally became somewhat serious.
This was considered one of the most classic battles in the early stages of the Chunin Exams.
While Lee couldn't be considered a genius himself, his effort and sweat outweighed others several times over, if not tens of times over.
It was precisely because of this that Lee's strength in taijutsu was not inferior to that of a Jonin.
Of course, when Ryujiro referred to Jonin, he meant the general Jonin in the village. Lee still had a long way to go compared to elite Jonin like Kakashi.
Lee leaped down from the platform.
"Although Ryujiro warned me to be cautious of your bizarre abilities, since you're my opponent, I'll go all out!"
Lee always had his smile on his face, no matter when.
"Tch, that kid doesn't even know what kind of monster he's facing."
Kankuro had a disdainful look. In his mind, even if it was Ryujiro, he might not necessarily be Gaara's match.
However, unlike Kankuro, what Temari was more concerned about was what Ryujiro and Lee had said to each other before entering the arena.
"It's really worrying. That Konoha ninja seems to understand Gaara quite well."
"Maybe he's just bluffing. He is just a Konoha ninja. Even if he understands Gaara's power, does he understand Gaara's terror like I do?"
Kankuro didn't care much about what Ryujiro and Lee had said. In his opinion, the outcome was already decided.
After hearing Kankuro's words, Temari thought it made sense, so she stopped thinking about it and focused on watching the match seriously.
"Hey hey hey! Is this for real?"
Kankuro's expression changed instantly.
"Gaara's sand defense is starting to fall behind!"
"How could that kid have such strength!"
The examinees on the field were all shocked, watching the afterimages. Even their eyes couldn't keep up with Lee's speed.
This kid's strength is unexpectedly formidable!
What kind of monsters were coming out of this Chunin Exams?
"So that's it. Even if Lee unties the restraints, it only makes Gaara feel slightly troubled."
"Ryujiro, you're right. That kid with the gourd is also a monster."
A hint of seriousness flashed in Might Guy's eyes. He had underestimated Gaara's strength.
But why did Ryujiro understand a ninja from Sunagakure so well? Did Ryujiro have some information about Sunagakure?
It's intriguing.
As a Jonin in the village, Guy naturally had to consider many things.
Ryujiro's eyes kept moving in various directions along with Lee's position.
Indeed, very fast.
If it weren't for Observation Haki, the eyes wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed.
Just trailing behind...
Perhaps Lee had no talent in ninjutsu, but in taijutsu, Lee was undoubtedly a genius.
With a loud bang, a huge roar attracted everyone's attention, and the arena suddenly sank with cracks spreading in all directions.
Lee was indeed a genius, but compared to a monster like Gaara, the gap in levels was something that couldn't be bridged in an instant.
"Hey!"
"Gaara seems to be losing control!"
Kankuro looked at Gaara's ferocious and bloodthirsty expression with fear, his forehead suddenly sweating.
"The Sand Armor has fallen off. How could that boy break through Gaara's Sand Armor?"
"But Gaara..."
Temari bit her lip, her face unusually serious.
Lee was now powerless, as he had used most of his stamina. But Gaara, who was unstable, didn't intend to let Lee off.
The surging killing intent emanating from Gaara's body was already overwhelming.
The Eight Gates...
Ryujiro had long known the outcome of this match. He would stop this match, but he didn't intend to stop Lee from opening the Eight Gates.
Lee had his own unique beliefs, and his belief was his own characteristic.
The Eight Inner Gates: Release Formation!
The Fourth Gate: Open!
In the instant Lee burst out with power, even the ground couldn't withstand the terrifying force. In an instant, the earth collapsed, and the tremendous wind pressure made many people scream.
Gaara's sand defense speed couldn't keep up with Lee anymore.
"That kid has mastered such terrifying taijutsu."
"Konoha is truly formidable."
Temari became increasingly wary of Konoha's depth. A sword genius, a taijutsu genius. Were all the geniuses in the entire ninja world from Konoha?
"So it ends like this!"
"The Fifth Gate: Open!"
With a loud bang, Gaara crashed into the ground like a comet, just when everyone thought Lee had won.
When the dust settled, although Gaara looked somewhat disheveled, he hadn't suffered any substantial injuries!
"He's using the gourd made of sand as protection!"
Kakashi said with a serious expression.
At this point, Lee had no more strength left. His muscles were torn, his legs broken.
No one knew how much pain Lee was enduring at this moment.
"Kill that kid!"
"Kill that kid!"
Another voice of Gaara echoed in Gaara's mind incessantly.
Gaara's gaze grew colder, controlling the sand to continue persecuting Lee.
And just as the situation was about to reach a critical point.
A figure appeared in the arena, and Gaara's sand was instantly cut off by a sword aura.
"It's Ryujiro!"
Ino couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the figure.
"Lee, it's over. You can't continue fighting anymore."
"If your injuries continue like this, if this battle continues, you might not even be able to continue living as a ninja."
Lee didn't want to give up, but what Ryujiro said made sense.
He was already exhausted.
"Lee, you have done well enough. This failure is only because your opponent is Gaara."
Ryujiro came to Lee's side and comforted him.
"Ahhhhh!"
"That annoying guy!"
"I'm going to kill all of you!"
Because of Ryujiro's appearance, Gaara couldn't be suppressed anymore. The killing intent emanating from him made all the examinees present feel suffocated.
Gaara! He has gone berserk!
