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

Gaara reconciled with Shukaku so quickly?

The sunlight was blocked by the giant hand formed from yellow sand. Tetsuya's chakra exploded beneath his feet, and he leaped back several feet, barely avoiding the sand hand's attack.

Gaara swung his arm and slightly pulled, and the yellow sand that had missed its target instantly transformed into a tidal wave that surged toward Tetsuya at an astonishing speed.

Even faster was Tetsuya's hand seals. As soon as his legs touched the ground, Tetsuya placed his hands in front of his chest without overlapping them, performing dazzling single-hand hand seals, while astonishing chakra erupted around his body.

Suddenly, a large amount of dark mud surged up from the ground in front of Tetsuya, turning into a torrent of mud that rushed towards the sand tide. The two collided with a deafening roar, causing the entire examination area to tremble.

Earth Release: Earth Flowing River

"Wow!"

A huge cheer erupted from the surrounding stands. This kind of large-scale ninjutsu duel was naturally more exciting for the audience than the taijutsu contest between Naruto and Neji.

"drink!"

Gaara's grin twisted even more as he pushed his palms forward, unleashing a torrent of yellow sand from the gourd on his back. This sandstorm forced the mudflow to retreat, closing in on Tetsuya step by step.

At the same time, Tetsuya stopped forming hand seals, and the mud flow suddenly churned, forming a giant mud dragon head nearly half a zhang tall. White light shone from its open mouth, and stone projectiles shot out like raindrops, tearing the sand tide apart wherever they went, allowing the mud flow to regain the upper hand.

Not only that, Tetsuya also took a deep breath, and a blazing fire dragon spewed out of its mouth, hovering above the mud dragon. The two attacks complemented each other, multiplying their power, and almost instantly shattered all the yellow sand in front of them. The fireballs and mud balls instantly engulfed Gaara completely.

Compound Ninja Technique: Earth Dragon Flame Style.

"Gaara!"

Even though he was far from the battlefield, Kankuro was so concerned that he couldn't help but shout loudly.

Such a continuous and powerful ninjutsu attack far exceeded the level of an elite Chunin. Tetsuya's hand seal speed and ninjutsu combinations were also incredibly exquisite, causing Kankuro's confidence in Gaara to waver.

"I never expected the Third Hokage to have taken on a disciple. This is truly a cause for celebration."

Orochimaru, who was watching the battle from the top floor, suddenly revealed a strange look in his eyes, turned his head and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi next to him and said.

When Orochimaru last encountered Tetsuya, he keenly noticed that Tetsuya's use of Fire Release ninjutsu was unusually similar to that of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Seeing Tetsuya use a combination ninjutsu this time further confirmed Orochimaru's guess.

Compared to these, Tetsuya's one-handed hand seals might be astonishing at the Jonin level, but when it comes to strength at the level of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, it's nothing to mention.

"Heh... Kazekage, you're mistaken. I haven't taught him any ninjutsu. Perhaps geniuses always share the same inspiration."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily. Although he was surprised that his compound ninjutsu had appeared in a young boy, he was more delighted by the growth of Konoha's younger generation.

Whether it was Naruto's initial mastery of the Nine-Tails' chakra or Tetsuya's performance, Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed.

This is precisely the manifestation of the First Hokage's Will of Fire extending to the next generation!

On the battlefield, after the fire dragon and mud dragon disintegrated and the dust raised by the collision of ninjutsu dissipated, a huge, perfectly round sand sphere stood on the ground. The ninjutsu attack had not caused any damage to the sand sphere at all.

"I knew it. Gaara's absolute defense is not something a ninja can break. Forcing Gaara to use this move is already the limit for Konoha ninjas."

Kankuro, who was watching the battle, visibly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Gaara, seated cross-legged in the sand sphere, formed hand seals. High above, yellow sand condensed, forming an eye the size of a fist. After trembling slightly, it locked onto Tetsuya below.

Secret Technique: The Third Eye

In this world, what is there that is absolutely defensible?

The reason it can't be broken is simply because the power of the ninjutsu isn't sufficient.

Most importantly, that eye that observes the outside world is the biggest weakness in an absolute defense!

Tetsuya looked up and met the gaze of the one-eyed being high in the sky, a smile suddenly appearing on his lips.

What is this...?

In an instant, Gaara's body trembled as his gaze was connected to his third eye, and he was instantly plunged into a bizarre world with black background and white patterns. His own state was like a blank sheet of paper, and his arms and body twisted back and forth like noodles, making them difficult to control.

Before Gaara could figure out what was going on, he felt a burning pain on one side of his body. Looking down, he realized that his lower body was engulfed in flames. The burning pain was incredibly real, and he could even smell the acrid stench of the burning.

Genjutsu•Shiranui.

This is a secret genjutsu of the Uchiha clan, which makes the enemy feel as if their body is being burned by flames in the illusion. If they cannot break free in time, their consciousness will misjudge that their body is being burned to ashes, thus causing the enemy's mental death.

So it was... an illusion?

Gaara, in the midst of excruciating pain, instantly understood his predicament. A single grain of yellow sand condensed into a thousand sticks and pierced directly through Gaara's palm. The resulting intense pain allowed Gaara to break free from the control of the illusion space, and his consciousness returned to reality.

However, before Gaara could retaliate, vibrant cherry blossom petals fluttered down before his eyes, causing Gaara's consciousness to gradually blur. His eyelids, which had never closed since he became a Jinchūriki, became incredibly heavy, and his breathing gradually became steady.

Illusion Technique: The Art of Falling Cherry Blossoms.

"Tetsuya's illusion skills have surpassed mine."

Kurenai Yuhi, who was watching the battle, suddenly exclaimed in amazement. As a genjutsu jonin, she could tell at a glance that Tetsuya had used two different genjutsu in succession. Even if the enemy broke free from the control of the first genjutsu, he would still be affected by the other genjutsu, thus falling into a deep sleep and losing consciousness.

"Oh no, Gaara... he's asleep."

Temari's face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with terror.

Because the sealing techniques of Sunagakure are not perfect, once Gaara, as the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, falls into a deep sleep, Shukaku's consciousness will be fully awakened, causing the tailed beast to go berserk.

boom!

Amidst the violent tremors, a massive hand made entirely of yellow sand suddenly emerged from the sand sphere, its blue stripes gleaming in the sunlight.

Immediately, a monster taller than the entire Chunin Exams wall appeared in the center of the battlefield. It had two horns on its head, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and its body was covered with blue cursed patterns. It also had a long tail trailing behind it. With a casual flick of its tail, it slammed heavily against the wall, sending rubble flying. The thick wall, reinforced with ninjutsu, teetered on the brink of collapse.

"Kage, how could you allow a Jinchuriki to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was both shocked and furious. He turned to the Kazekage beside him and questioned him loudly.

"Didn't your village's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki also participate in the Chunin Exams?"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless, Orochimaru's figure vanished instantly, appearing in a flash behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, holding a kunai and kidnapping his former teacher.

Although being forced to launch the plan earlier is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just a pity that we didn't get to see Sasuke's battle.

Orochimaru, carrying Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaped into the air and landed on the rooftop before the Konoha Anbu could intercept him.

The Konoha Crush Plan is launched!
