Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Finally, a worthy opponent has arrived...

Kankuro's provocation of Konoha in front of everyone was clearly calculated; he wanted to gauge the quality of his potential opponents during the Chunin Exams in advance to reduce the pressure on Gaara.

Since it involves the alliance with Sunagakure, and it's just some verbal offense, Konoha wouldn't bully a smaller village. In most cases, they would just send someone of the same age who is also participating in the Chunin Exams to respond to the provocation.

"Turns out he's just a brat who can only talk big..."

After seeing Sasuke's face clearly, Kankuro recognized him as the Uchiha's orphan and the top graduate of this year's Konoha Ninja Academy. He couldn't help but feel a chill. He pulled the bandage on his shoulder and took off the crow puppet on his back, but still had a hint of disdain on his face, hoping that Sasuke would lose his temper and make the first move.

snort!

Sasuke clenched his fingers, and the small pebble he had been playing with in his palm turned into dust and fell down. Just as he was about to leap down and teach this arrogant Sand Ninja a lesson, a murderous aura that was inches away suddenly locked onto Sasuke.

"Kankuro, stop!"

Sasuke shuddered as he noticed a red-haired boy standing upside down on a branch on the other side of the same tree trunk. The boy had dark circles under his eyes that resembled those of a panda, a huge gourd tied to his back, and an aura of killing intent that made Sasuke feel slightly uneasy.

Most importantly, if it weren't for Gaara's killing intent locking onto him, Sasuke wouldn't have even noticed when the other party approached.

Sasuke had only ever seen such speed from Kakashi.

"Gaara..."

Upon seeing the appearance of his younger brother, the god of death, Kankuro, who had just been extremely arrogant, broke out in a sweat, and his voice trembled slightly.

"You're just a disgrace to the village. What do you think we came all the way to Konoha for...?"

Gaara's voice was filled with anger and impatience, prompting Kankuro to hurriedly try to explain.

Sasuke and Gaara exchanged a glance, and Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine. He could sense a complete indifference to life in the other's eyes.

It applies not only to others, but also to oneself.

Unfortunately, contact with a Jinchuriki can only extract the ninja's own abilities, and cannot access the Tailed Beasts sealed within their bodies. Otherwise, compared to Kurama's almost limitless and violent chakra, Shukaku's overall strength is more comprehensive. Not only does he master both Wind Release and Magnet Release bloodline limits, but he also has extremely profound sealing techniques. Even Urashiki Otsutsuki was accidentally sealed by Shukaku for several days.

Tetsuya stood atop the treetop, looking down at Gaara below, and couldn't help but sigh with regret in his heart.

what!

For some inexplicable reason, Kagura's keen perception sensed that a surge of chakra suddenly emerged from Gaara's sand gourd. Immediately, the gourd's lid opened automatically, and a large amount of dark yellow sand gushed out, transforming into a giant female sand statue that protected Gaara's chest.

This is... the chakra left behind by Gaara's mother?

The most amazing thing about chakra is that even if a ninja dies, as long as the chakra remains in the world, their spirit and will can be maintained and will be revived when stimulated.

Not to mention Indra and Ashura, the sons of the Sage of Six Paths, who have been reincarnated and possessed by him generation after generation, still fighting endlessly; in addition, Naruto also has a seal left by Minato Namikaze inside him, which seals his own and Kushina's chakra within him, just to fulfill Kushina's wish to see Naruto and to prevent the Nine-Tails seal from having problems.

As the wife of the Fourth Kazekage, Karura died in childbirth after giving birth to Gaara, but her chakra remained in the sand. Perhaps sensing Tetsuya's feelings for Gaara, it formed a protective barrier on its own.

As expected, this Karura is not well-known, but as the wife of the Fourth Kazekage, she is clearly not someone to be trifled with.

What exactly happened?

Gaara's usually lonely eyes were now filled with confusion. He hadn't activated the sand in the gourd, so why did it inexplicably create such a huge protective layer?

And why does the sand in front of me feel so warm, as if... I've returned to my mother's embrace?

"Mother, is that you?"

Although their childhood memories had become very blurry, neither Temari nor Kankuro could forget Karura's face. Upon seeing the sand statue's appearance, the two siblings blurted out the name at the same time.

Why are genin from Sunagakure using ninjutsu in Konoha?

Karura's sand statue was over two zhang tall. Such a huge commotion immediately triggered Konoha's alarm. A team of ninjas wearing the insignia of the Konoha Guard arrived in an instant and shouted questions.

"We apologize, this was due to a ninjutsu malfunction. We will compensate your village for all the losses caused."

Temari quickly stepped forward to explain, and just as she was about to turn back to let Arara recall the sand, she saw that the younger brother of the Shura was staring intently at the treetop, having already discovered Tetsuya's presence.

"I am Gaara of the Sandfall. You are a formidable opponent. The sand tells me that it thirsts for your blood."

Gaara didn't know where this murderous intent surging from his heart came from. If it weren't for his remaining will suppressing his desire to kill, he would have preferred to immediately take action and crush Tetsuya into pieces with sand.

"You'll find out during the Chunin Exams."

Seeing Gaara retract the yellow sand and turn to leave, Sasuke, not wanting to be ignored, raised his voice.

"Remember, my name is..."

Gaara leaped into the air and disappeared down the street, completely ignoring Sasuke, leaving only his cold voice echoing in the distance.

"Not interested."

Sasuke's face immediately turned red, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

When the Chunin Exams come around, I must defeat him and make him remember the name Uchiha Sasuke.

"Where's Naruto?"

Tetsuya leaped down from the treetop and landed beside Sasuke, speaking as he did so.

These two used to be inseparable, but today Naruto was nowhere to be seen, and they couldn't even sense his chakra presence within the vicinity of Konoha Village.

"A middle-aged man with long white hair, who looked rather frivolous, took Naruto away, saying he was going to take him on a field trip. Kakashi-sensei seemed to know him quite well; he was probably a Konoha ninja."

Tetsuya nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

It seems that Jiraiya has finally remembered Naruto, the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, and intends to teach him some real skills.

"Do you know who he is?"

Although Jiraiya did not deliberately display his chakra pressure, Sasuke's horizons had broadened considerably after the battle in the Land of Waves, and he realized in a brief encounter that Jiraiya was not someone to be trifled with.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be Jiraiya, the Third Hokage's disciple, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and the one who trained the Fourth Hokage."

Tetsuya glanced at a large tree not far away and replied.

Three ninjas wearing headbands from the Sound Village hid among the branches and leaves, observing the situation more cautiously.

Are they Orochimaru's subordinates?

It was him.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

If such a powerful person were willing to guide my cultivation, I would definitely be able to gain the power to kill that man!
