Chapter 71 An Unexpected Development: Gaara Rematch

Shino, Shikamaru, Chiba, Naruto, Neji, Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, and Choji stood in the center of the spacious field for the third exam.

Similar to the previous qualifiers, the third test also has no restrictions on methods, ending with one side surrendering or dying.

The only difference is that, perhaps because it's an open competition, and considering that being too bloody would have a negative impact, a rule has been added that allows examiners to intervene in the competition after their judgment.

Although there are two more people this time than the original eight: Chiba and Choji.

However, the order of the battles remained unchanged in the early stages, and as expected, Sasuke, having spent so much time with Kakashi, became late, and the subsequent developments did not change.

Just like in the original story, Naruto unleashed a burst of Nine-Tails power, coupled with his somewhat ironic and invincible talk-no-jutsu, and successfully defeated Neji.

Then, when Kankuro faced Shino, not wanting to expose the secret of the crows, Kankuro decisively chose to abstain.

Then Shikamaru and Temari engaged in a battle of wits and strength, with Shikamaru ultimately conceding defeat with high emotional intelligence and announcing their successful pairing on the spot.

Before Chiyu could even secretly congratulate (and despise) Shikamaru, that bastard...

Then came more bad news.

"Is it my turn?" Qianyu asked in surprise.

“Yes!” Genma Shiranui nodded from the sidelines: “Please come down, Chiba Hououji, and Choji Akimichi!”

"Hmm, so I'm going to fight Chiyu now!"

Choji Akimichi cried out in despair, "Damn it, how could it be so fast? (chewing) I wasn't ready!"

"Who can argue with that?"

Qianyu frowned slightly, feeling a bit of pain in her breasts. What happened to the rule that it wasn't her turn to go on stage?

That's not in the original story... wait!

Chiyu remembered that Sasuke didn't come in the original story either. He only arrived at the last minute after Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, intervened. She was mistaken!

"So, in other words, we still have to fight!"

Chiba looked at Choji.

"Ugh!" Provoked by Chiyu's gaze, Choji stuffed even more potato chips into his mouth.

If at first he was grabbing handfuls of potato chips and throwing them into his mouth, now he's tearing open bags one by one and pouring them into his mouth.

A large number of potato chips disappeared into Choji's mouth as if they had encountered a black hole.

At this moment, countless bags of potato chip packaging had accumulated at Choji's feet, forming a garbage corner.

Clearly, he had been eating ever since he arrived.

This is a secret technique of the Akimichi clan; the more they eat, the more energy they have for battle.

But Choji's way of eating...

A sense of foreboding welled up in Qianyu's heart.

It feels numb. Could it be that Choji prepared some pills for this mere Chunin Exam?

No, it's just the Chunin Exams, why are you risking your life?

Chiyu was extremely helpless.

Most importantly, after careful consideration, she realized that Choji might actually be able to take the pills.

Since the Akimichi clan is a prestigious family in Konoha, if they were to suffer a crushing defeat in front of everyone, it would inevitably lead others to misunderstand and wonder if the Akimichi clan is no longer capable of winning.

Of the three-colored pills, the first green one is the least harmful to the body and can be considered a basic soldier's ration.

The disintegration of the Heavenly Demon is unacceptable, but acupuncture with golden needles is alright.

Even if Choji takes the drug, Chiba is confident he can defeat him.

But what about consumption?

In an instant, Qianyu's thoughts raced, but she still decided to avoid this battle.

"Choji!" Chiba called out to Choji.

Then, meeting Choji's questioning gaze, she extended her beautiful left hand, her slender index finger straight, the other four fingers naturally curved, making a "one" gesture.

Choji was puzzled by the gesture.

However, the viewers in the live stream were reminded of the past, and the chat was filled with funny comments.

Doctor Strange: Up! Thanos can't fly! Tony: I'm Iron Man!

Doctor Strange: Hold on for one more minute, Captain Marvel will wake up. Tony: OK, I'm Iron Man.

Doctor Strange: Tony, you're going to be number 1 tonight. Tony: I'll be Iron Man then!

"...What the hell is this number 1? And isn't Chiyu making hand gestures to Choji here? Why are you bringing up the Avengers?"

"Okay! Qianyu: You'll be on top tonight!"

"Grass!"

Seeing these hilarious comments, no one could hold back, not even Qianyu.

Only then did she realize that her sudden gesture of making a "one" sign was perhaps too little of a hint for Choji. With Choji's intelligence, would he even understand what she meant?

However, this shows that Chiba underestimated Choji.

Choji alone did not understand her gestures, but at this moment he was not thinking alone; he was connected to the brains of the entire Akimichi clan.

Therefore, Choji quickly understood what Chiba meant.

Beneath that hairstyle that resembled an underwear-covered head, Choji's eyes shone brightly.

As if afraid that Chiyu would change her mind, Choji suddenly looked down at Genma Shiranui and shouted in a muffled voice with potato chips in his mouth, "Examiner, I want to withdraw!"

"You're abstaining too?" Genma Shiranui was a little upset.

Sasuke wasn't there, so he should have been disqualified. It was only because the Kazekage intervened that his match was postponed.

With Chiba and Choji fighting, they could buy some time, but now that Choji has given up, what can they do?

Genma Shiranui couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure, Choji Akimichi?"

"I'm sure!" Choji's voice, expression, and eyes filled with raging flames all revealed his determination.

After all, the Chunin Exams are just a chance to become a Chunin. How can that compare to a week of free barbecue?

He could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

"Alright!" Seeing Choji like this, Genma Shiranui had no choice.

"Then Phoenix Temple Chiba advances! And next..."

Genma Shiranui looked towards the examination preparation area and, as expected, did not see Sasuke.

Looking at the entrance again, it was quiet and peaceful, not at all like Sasuke had arrived.

Having no other option, he could only look up at the high platform and seek the opinion of the third generation.

On the high platform, Raido Nami appeared instantly and whispered to the Third Hokage, "Third Hokage, the examinee Uchiha Sasuke still hasn't shown up!"

"Well, I see. There's nothing we can do then! We can't keep the guests waiting any longer, the competition must continue..."

The third generation's words suddenly stopped.

Because at that instant, he sensed a fluctuation in the aura of the 'Wind Shadow' beside him.

Remembering that it was Orochimaru who had spoken up, postponing Sasuke's match, the Third Hokage thought for a moment and then asked, "What do you think, Lord Kazekage?"

"I have no objection!" Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, nodded slowly, making a choice completely different from that in the original story!

"Then let's move on to the next round. Lei Tong, tell Genji about this decision!"

The decision was made by three generations.

"Yes!" Namiya Raido nodded and vanished in an instant once more.

"Is that so? That's what the Third Hokage said! Alright then!"

Hearing Namiya Raito's account, Genma Shiranui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, please come forward, Naruto, Gaara, Temari, Phoenix Temple Chiba, and Aburame Shino. We will proceed with the second round of the draw immediately!"

"Hey, the second round!"

Upon hearing Genma Shiranui's decision, Naruto, who was criticizing Shikamaru below, let out a surprised sound.

"Where's Sasuke? Sasuke hasn't arrived yet!" Naruto said anxiously.

"Don't you understand? Sasuke is no longer here!"

Shikamaru sighed, "He still hasn't come. What on earth is Sasuke doing?"

"Also, why did the Hokage make such a decision? It had been postponed before!"

"It was postponed before, but now they're ignoring it. What was the purpose of the previous postponement?"

Shikamaru looked at the high platform with a puzzled expression, wanting to understand the logic behind the Hokage's decision by observing the situation on their side.

Unfortunately, the platform was too far away, so he could only see two figures and couldn't make any judgments.

In the end, Shikamaru could only shake his head, attributing it to the Hokage possibly having his own reasons.

However, what kind of thinking did the third generation have?

Shikamaru had very little information, so he couldn't determine the whole picture.

But Qianyu knew perfectly well that this was because her dear Snake Aunt had come up with another new trick; otherwise, why would she agree to the Third Generation's idea?

And it must be said that Qianyu's guess was indeed very accurate.

When the Third Hokage said the match should continue, Orochimaru did try to stop him.

But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that her goal was to get Sasuke to follow her so that she could take over his body. The bait she offered was that she could make Sasuke stronger.

But to become stronger, Sasuke must first realize that he is weak.

But how can we make Sasuke realize that he is weak?

It's simple, just let someone of the same age demonstrate a level far exceeding his own, right?

The Uchiha clan, by nature, cannot accept being weaker than others!

Coincidentally, among this generation of genin, there is someone whom Orochimaru has yet to see through—Chiba!

Just when she thought Qianyu was only at this level, Qianyu would show a completely new level and prove her wrong.

So much so that when Orochimaru looked back on their first encounter, he realized that he had never actually seen the limits of Senba's strength.

Curiosity was born from this.

Looking down at Chiba who was drawing lots, Orochimaru's lips curled into a playful smile beneath his mask, and he thought to himself, "Come on, show me your all before Gaara, Chiba!"

As Orochimaru spoke his mind, Chiba drew a brand new number from the lottery box—1!

Genma Shiranui's voice rang out: "Candidates, please show the number you have drawn!"

Naruto: "I'm number 5!"

Shino: "I am number 3!"

Temari: "I'm number 4!"

Gaara: "I am number 2!"

Chiyu: "...I'm the top!"

Upon hearing Chiyu say that she was a top, Gaara excitedly turned his head, revealing a crazed and bloodthirsty expression: "In other words, my opponent is you!"

"Good, the match order this time is the same as in your qualifiers: 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, and then 5 gets a bye!"

Genma Shiranui answered Gaara's question.

He then looked at the others: "So, the next opponents are Gaara and Phoenix Temple Chiba! Please have these two stay here, the rest of you return to the stands and wait!"

Shino and Temari left one after the other. Naruto also returned to the stands after cheering for Chiba a few times.

Suddenly, only Chiyu, Gaara, and the referee Genma Shiranui remained in the arena.

"Looks like I'll have to deal with you first!"

Looking at the excited Calabash Brothers in front of him, Qianyu sighed and helplessly created a clone, turning it back into a longsword.

As Chiyu moved, the cork of the sand gourd on Gaara's back popped off with a thud, and a large amount of sand gushed out.

Gaara's face went mad: "Ah, Mom, you can't wait either? Don't worry, this blood will definitely taste delicious!"

"Tsk! These kids these days, they should at least respect the examiners!"

Genma Shiranui felt utterly helpless watching Gaara draw his sword and release sand at will.

But now that the two had reached this point of contention, he couldn't say anything more.

Genma Shiranui could only raise his hand and then wave it downwards: "Begin!"

Gaara and Chiba exchanged a glance.

The next second, Qianyu lightly touched the ground with her toes, channeling the power of the Hao Shui Wrist to her entire body, and then simply moved forward and swung her sword in an ordinary manner.

Upon sensing the attack, Gaara's sand defense automatically met it as usual.

At the same time, Gaara secretly became more vigilant.

Memories of my last encounter with Chiyu and my battle with Xiao Li flashed through my mind.

He knew that against high-speed enemies like Qianyu, any attack in front of him was definitely a feint. They would inevitably choose to use a diversionary tactic to weaken the sand's defenses.

"So, is it the left? The right? The back? Or the top?"

Gaara wondered what was going on in his mind.

However, Chiba did not go to any of these places.

She was just an ordinary, normal person, slashing her sword at Gaara's sand.

then……

"Bang!"

The "bang" is the sound of the longsword piercing through the sand defense, and the "crack" is the sound of the longsword striking the sand armor!

Gaara, and everyone who witnessed this scene, stared in disbelief.

With a simple swing of her sword, Chiyu pierced Gaara's sand defense and slashed his face.

Although Gaara tried his best to turn his head at the last moment, a long, narrow gash still burst open on his cheek, and the thick red blood stained the pure white tip of the Sun and Moon sword in the pot!

Then, seeing that his previous sneak attack had failed, Qian Yu no longer held back, unleashing a whirlwind around him as he swung his sword again!

"Steel-Cutting Flash!"

"Pfft!"

The longsword tore through the sand shield, shattered the sand armor, and another bloody gash appeared as Jiraiya's shoulder exploded!

With just two sword strikes at the start, Gaara was left with two wounds. It was hard to believe that this was Gaara, who could be called the strongest shield!

Qianyu was still not satisfied: "I thought that since you were so well protected by the sand, your true form would be very slow, but I didn't expect your speed to be so good!"

"And, can you let go of 'me' now?"

As Qianyu spoke, she secretly pulled harder.

Because at this moment, another sand hand was tightly gripping the handle of the gourd-shaped sword in the pot, preventing Qianyu from sheathing his sword and unleashing a powerful third strike.

After being caught off guard by Chiba's sneak attack and followed by a second strike, Gaara had entered battle mode.

"Go to hell!"

While maintaining the pull on Chiyu's longsword, a sand clone of Gaara appeared on the sand shield, wielding a kunai and stabbing at Chiyu!

Faced with Gaara's change of tactics, Chiba remained completely still, seemingly unable to react despite her strength in speed.

But how is that possible?

There's only one reason she's not reacting!

That is, she doesn't need to defend herself!

"Oh!"

To Gaara's astonishment, a wind shield suddenly exploded on Yu Qianyu's body!
