The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 182 Killing Technique
The battle between Naruto and Neji is over, and it is the turn of Sasuke and Gaara to fight.

In the original plot, because Sasuke was late, his battle with Gaara was changed from the second round to the final third round.

And now, not only was Sasuke not late, but he and Kakashi were already there as soon as the third exam started.

Richard originally planned to find out the chakra flow route of Chidori from Sasuke after Sasuke learned it.

But he finally changed his mind and didn't do it.

In other words, he secretly found Kakashi who was teaching Sasuke Chidori, and from Kakashi's demonstration, he figured out the Chidori's chakra flow route.

Although this was different from what he had originally planned, the result was that he learned Chidori.

Not only that, when Sasuke was still struggling to learn Chidori, he had already started the derivative development of Chidori.

For example, he developed Chidori Ryu, Chidori Sharp Spear, Chidori Thousand Bones, Chidori Blade, etc. one by one and mastered these ninjutsu.

After Naruto and Neji left the stage, Uzuki Yugao, who served as the examiner of the third exam, came to the center of the venue.

At the same time, Gaara and Sasuke arrived at the venue and stood about ten or twenty meters apart.

When Sasuke and Gaara entered the stage, the audience's emotions became more and more excited.

If the battle between Naruto and Neji symbolizes the battle between a loser and a genius.

Then the battle between Sasuke and Gaara symbolizes the battle between the younger generation of geniuses in Konoha and Sunagakure.

Sasuke is a member of the Uchiha clan, and Gaara is the son of the Fourth Kazekage. Both of them have distinguished backgrounds and outstanding abilities.

Although there are many tourists from other countries in the village, such as tourists from the Kingdom of Wind.

But this is Konoha's home ground after all, so most of the audience are Konoha villagers, and of course they will support Sasuke who represents Konoha.

When Uzuki Yugao announced the official start of the competition, Gaara and Sasuke attacked at the same time.

Gaara controlled the sand to attack Sasuke, while Sasuke dodged the sand and used shuriken throwing, which the Uchiha clan was good at.

Unlike other spectators, Richard did not pay too much attention to the battle between Gaara and Sasuke. His eyes fell on the Fourth Kazekage, or Orochimaru.

If nothing unexpected happens, Orochimaru will soon officially start the Konoha collapse plan, using the Four Purple Flame Formation performed by the Sound Four to trap the Third Hokage, and have a Kage-level battle with him, the highest level of the early Hokage.

At the same time, the ninjas from the Sand Village and the Sound Village will also begin their own actions and cause massive destruction in Konoha.

In the Konoha collapse plan, besides Orochimaru who has to hold back the Third Hokage, the most important person is Gaara.

Or rather, the One-Tailed Shukaku within Gaara's body.

As long as Gaara uses the dozing technique to put himself into a deep sleep, the One-Tailed Shukaku sealed in his body will be fully awakened.

By then, Shukaku, the One-Tail, will be able to become the main force to destroy Konoha, provided that no one else comes to stop the One-Tail.

In Orochimaru's estimation, as long as Shukaku, the One-Tail, fully awakens, his plan to collapse Konoha will be half successful.

But he would never have thought that Shukaku, the One-Tailed Fox, would meet Naruto, who had the aura of the protagonist.

Although Naruto is not as powerful as he was during the Fourth Ninja World War, with the aura of the protagonist, he not only woke Gaara up from his dozing spell, but also made Gaara see what it means to be protected by older brothers and sisters.

Then, the problem boy Gaara began to slowly turn over a new leaf, inherited his father's position, and became the fifth Kazekage of the Sand Village.

When his eyes fell on Orochimaru, Richard couldn't help but praise Orochimaru's disguise in his heart.

If he didn't know the plot in advance and had the ability to see through things, he wouldn't have been able to see through Orochimaru's disguise.

It was not known whether it was intuition or he really felt Richard's gaze, but Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Fourth Hokage, unconsciously looked up at the sky.

Fortunately, Richard was at a high enough altitude, otherwise, Orochimaru would be able to see at a glance that it was him looking at him.

Just when Orochimaru was wondering if he was a little too sensitive, the Third Hokage said to him: "Gaara is worthy of being the son of Kazekage-sama. His performance is far beyond that of an ordinary Genin."

"Hokage, you are too kind. Uchiha Sasuke of your village also has very good abilities."

Orochimaru replied.

Although he longed for Sasuke's body, he still didn't think Sasuke would be a match for Gaara.

At this moment in the venue, Sasuke used the physical skills copied from Lee, showing a speed far beyond before, trying to avoid Gaara's sand and attack Gaara's body.

In the original comic, he did the same thing and successfully hit Gaara, causing Gaara to use a sand ball-like sand wave to protect himself in 360 degrees.

But at this time, Sasuke did not hit Gaara as in the original comics.

In the past month, it's not just Sasuke and Naruto who have grown, Gaara has also made significant improvements.

In other words, after being taught a lesson by Xiao Li with his speed in the preliminaries of the third exam, he also gained a lot of experience and knew how to defend against the attacks of speed-type ninjas.

As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser!
Although Gaara is undoubtedly a problem teenager now, as the son of the Fourth Kazekage, he is not an idiot.

If he didn't make any progress after being taught a lesson by Xiao Li about speed, then he would be too stupid.

However, under Sasuke's continuous attacks, especially after Sasuke further increased his speed, he was still hit by Sasuke.

If there is anything lucky about him, it is that until now, Sasuke has not drawn out the vibranium sword on his back.

It's not that Sasuke is holding back on purpose, but because he is now using the physical skills copied from Lee.

If he were given more time to train, he would indeed be able to integrate the physical skills copied from Xiao Li with his own swordsmanship.

But unfortunately, he simply couldn't spare such time in the past month.

Just learning Chidori and improving his own speed took up all his time.

Although he failed to integrate the copied physical skills with his own swordsmanship, he still forced Gaara to perform the Sand Desert Wave, causing Gaara to enter an autistic state.

Just when Sasuke was planning to further expand his victory and break the sand ball-like sand wave just like he broke Gaara's sand clone and sand shield, he immediately suffered a loss.

Before he touched the sand ball, sharp sand thorns grew out of it and scratched his cheeks and thighs.

If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have been pierced without a doubt.

After realizing that the Sand Shield was both offensive and defensive, and completely different from the previous Sand Shield, Sasuke finally drew out the vibranium sword on his back.

Before entering the venue, Kakashi solemnly told him to try not to use the vibranium sword.

Although it is normal to use weapons in competitions, the problem is that the vibranium sword is not an ordinary weapon.

If Sasuke accidentally killed Gaara, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the Sand Village, who would think that Konoha deliberately killed the Sand Village's jinchūriki during the Chunin Exam.

By then, the Sand Village and Konoha, which were originally allies, may become enemies because of Gaara's death.

After pulling out the vibranium sword, Sasuke did not use the physical skills copied from Lee, but instead used the swordsmanship copied from Richard.

After seeing Sasuke change his fighting style and make the contest different from what he remembered, Richard finally became interested in the contest. If the original plot had been followed, after Gaara used the Sand Wave to completely wrap himself up, Sasuke would have used Chidori to break the Sand Wave and injure Gaara.

Then, the Otogakure ninjas hidden in the venue will cast an illusion to make the audience in the venue unconscious and officially begin the invasion of Konoha.

Richard had used his super vision to see the Otogakure ninjas hiding in the audience seats, and he also saw Kabuto Yakushi, but he did not intend to go down and stop them immediately.

Even if they didn't take action, Kakashi and Kai, as well as the Anbu ninjas and others in the venue, could protect the unconscious audience members very well.

In other words, even if he did not take action, there would not be a large number of casualties among the audience in the venue.

The swordsmanship that Sasuke copied from Richard was not sophisticated, just some simple swings and slashes.

Although it doesn't look fancy at all, it is extremely efficient.

After seeing Sasuke pull out the vibranium sword, Kakashi in the audience sighed helplessly.

He knew that Sasuke had received special training with Richard, but he didn't really like what Sasuke had learned from Richard.

how to say?

What Sasuke learned from Richard were some extremely efficient "killing skills".

Although ninjas cannot avoid killing people in the process of performing their missions, the "killing skills" that Sasuke learned are still a bit too cruel in his opinion.

Once hit, you will either be seriously injured or killed.

In fact, it’s not that there is something wrong with what Richard taught Sasuke, but that Sasuke can’t do it as freely and as he pleases, so the result is either serious injury or death.

If Richard himself were to perform the spell, he could injure the enemy lightly if he wanted, or severely if he wanted.

He could easily leave a wound only one millimeter deep on the enemy.

Although Sasuke copied Richard's movements with the Sharingan, he did not have Richard's precise control ability.

If Sasuke continued to work hard on his swordsmanship, he would be able to do whatever he wanted.

But now he is still some distance away from this state.

Although Sasuke couldn't do whatever he wanted like Richard, he could still easily cut off the sharp sand spikes from the sand ball with his vibranium sword.

Not only that, after resolving the counterattack of these sand thorns, he found a suitable opportunity and stabbed the vibranium sword into the inside of the sand ball.

The sharpness of the vibranium sword is far superior to that of the Chidori.

Even Chidori can pierce the sand ball formed by the desert waves, so the vibranium sword can certainly do it, and it will be much easier.

After feeling the feedback from the vibranium sword stabbing the target, a smile appeared on Sasuke's face.

boom!
Sasuke didn't feel happy for a few seconds before the sand ball that wrapped Gaara suddenly exploded like a bomb, and sand flew in all directions like raindrops.

When the sand ball exploded completely, Gaara appeared in everyone's sight again.

Unlike before being wrapped by the sand ball, Gaara at this time has undergone significant changes. His right hand has turned into a huge inhuman form, and a tail of the same stage has appeared behind him.

Possession!
After being stabbed by the vibranium sword, Gaara unconsciously transformed into a vessel with some of the characteristics of the One-Tail.

After seeing Gaara's changed appearance, Sasuke, who had retreated ten or twenty meters to avoid the rain-like sand, frowned slightly.

He didn't know that Gaara was the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and he didn't know that Gaara's current form was a possession.

However, there was one thing he was very sure of, that was after seeing Gaara's mutated right eye, he felt a huge pressure, as if he was not facing Gaara, but an extremely terrifying beast.

While Sasuke was considering whether or not to continue attacking Gaara, a struggling expression appeared on Gaara's human half of his face.

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi, who was hiding in the audience, performed the illusion of Nirvana Abode.

A large number of white feathers fell from the sky out of nowhere.

The audience and ninjas who saw the white feathers felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Except for a small number of people, such as Kakashi, Kai, Sakura and others, everyone else fell unconscious.

When Kabuto Yakushi was performing the Nirvana Sanctuary Technique, other Otonagakure ninjas also performed illusion techniques to hypnotize the audience in other locations.

As Kabuto Yakushi and the Otogakure ninjas began to perform illusions, others also began to take action.

Temari, Kankuro, and Maki immediately came to Gaara from the audience.

"You take Gaara away, and once he's stable you can have him summon the One-Tail."

Maki said to Temari and Kankuro.

Although Maki is his teacher, Gaara obviously will not obey him now.

As soon as he finished speaking, the struggling expression on Gaara's human half face turned into a ferocious one, and he looked at Sasuke with murderous intent.

"I won't leave. I want my mother to taste his blood!"

Gaara said quickly.

After hearing his answer, the expressions of Maki and the other two turned a little ugly.

"None of you can leave!"

Just as Maki was about to say something else, Uzuki Yugao's voice rang out.

Afterwards, he appeared in the sight of Maki and others.

Like Sasuke, Uzuki Yugao also drew out her vibranium sword and looked at Maki and others with a vigilant look.

Richard, who was hovering thousands of meters in the air, did not pay too much attention to them. His eyes fell on Orochimaru and the Third Hokage.

When Kabuto Yakushi was performing the Nirvana Sutra, Orochimaru came behind the Third Hokage, held him hostage with a kunai, and went to the rooftop.

Just when the Anbu ninja tried to stop Orochimaru, the Four Sound Ninjas took action.

The Four Sound Ninjas removed their disguises, killed the Anbu ninjas who tried to chase Orochimaru, and came to the four corners of the roof.

Four Purple Flame Formation!

After occupying the four corners of east, south, west and north, they immediately cast the Four Purple Flame Formation without any hesitation, forming a closed rectangular barrier on the roof, creating a stage for the fight between Orochimaru and the Third Hokage without being disturbed by others.

Not only that, they also used the Four Purple Flame Formation to protect themselves as soon as possible to prevent the Third Hokage from destroying the barrier by defeating them.

When the four Sound Ninjas performed the Four Purple Flame Formation, Richard withdrew his gaze and flew towards the venue at lightning speed.
