On the field, the tense atmosphere seemed to freeze the air. Sasuke and Gaara, two gifted young men, were like stars about to collide, exuding a powerful aura.

Sasuke's eyes were sharp, like a sword about to be unsheathed. He quickly formed seals with both hands and launched the fire escape technique first. Blazing fire spewed out of his mouth, like a ferocious fire dragon, roaring and rushing towards Gaara. Wherever the flames passed, the air seemed to be distorted by the burning.

Gaara remained expressionless, but with a slight movement, the sand around him surged rapidly, forming a round sand ball that tightly wrapped him up. The fire dragon hit the sand ball, making a dull sound, but failed to break through this line of defense.

Seeing this, Sasuke was not discouraged. He immediately changed his tactics and used Lightning Release. Chidori sang together, the sharp sound cut through the air, and the lightning flashed, as if it could tear everything apart. Sasuke's body was as fast as lightning, holding Chidori, and rushed towards Gaara.

Gaara's sand reacted quickly, rushing in like a tide, trying to block Sasuke's attack. However, Chidori's penetrating power was extremely strong, and it instantly pierced through the sand's defense. Gaara, who was hiding in the ball, was unable to dodge and was hit by Chidori, bleeding from the wound.

Gaara's eyes were instantly filled with anger, and the power of the tailed beast in his body began to surge. His body changed, hiding in the ball of sand and gradually transforming into a tailed beast. The powerful chakra emanated like a surging wave, making the entire arena shrouded in a terrifying pressure.

Temari and Kankuro saw this, and their hearts were alarmed, knowing that the situation was extremely critical. The two looked at each other, and then rushed to Gaara without hesitation. The two came to Gaara's side as fast as lightning, and Temari said softly: "Gaara, calm down." Her voice was soft, but it had a soothing power.

At this time, Maki from the Hidden Sand Village also came to the center of the venue. He looked at Gaara who had fallen into a state of madness during his training, frowned, and decisively ordered: "Take Gaara away first." His tone was steady and resolute, leaving no room for doubt.

At this moment, white feathers began to fall from the sky. These feathers seemed to have mysterious magic. Anyone who touched the feathers immediately fell into a fantasy and passed out. The whole scene became even more peaceful and weird.

At this moment, Sasuke also reacted. His eyes were stern, and he wanted to attack Maki. However, at the moment he attacked, he was stopped by Shiranui Genma. Shiranui Genma said seriously: "Sasuke, leave this man to me. You go after Gaara. Judging from the breath he just emitted, that person is the most dangerous. That guy has been injured by you. Although we don't know their purpose, we should catch him first. With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem." Sasuke was slightly stunned, then nodded, turned around and rushed in the direction where Gaara left.

This scene was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Hostile ninjas hiding in the dark appeared one after another.

Konoha's Anbu and the ninjas who remained awake immediately became alert, their eyes revealing solemnity and vigilance.

Naruto's eyes narrowed, his mind full of thoughts. He sighed, "Is it finally about to begin? Old man, please don't die." On the podium, the Third Hokage was being held hostage by Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Kazekage. Naruto stood quietly in the audience, watching all this closely, his heart filled with worry and uneasiness.

At this moment, Kakashi suddenly came to Naruto like a flash of lightning. He said hurriedly: "Naruto, leave this to us, you go help Sasuke. He went to chase the boy from the Hidden Sand Village. He gave me a very bad feeling, I'm worried that Sasuke might get into trouble." After listening to Kakashi's words, Naruto looked at the Third Hokage who was sealed in the Four Purple Flame Formation, and thought to himself: "Don't die, old man, wait for me to come back." Then, he quickly put a Flying Thunder God mark on the guardrail, turned around and moved quickly towards Sasuke, his figure was like an arrow from a bow, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The atmosphere in the forest was tense and anxious. Sasuke was like a persistent cheetah, chasing Gaara closely. His figure flashed quickly in the mottled light and shadow.

On the other side, Kankuro carried Gaara on his back and evacuated with Temari without stopping. Kankuro's steps were heavy but firm, and he knew that he had a heavy responsibility at the moment. Temari followed closely behind, looking back from time to time, alert to Sasuke's pursuit. They shuttled through the dense forest, trying to get rid of Sasuke's pursuit and find a safe place.

At this moment, a golden figure appeared in front of them like lightning. Seeing this, Kankuro hurriedly handed Gaara on his back to Temari. Then, he smiled disdainfully at Naruto and said, "Boy, I didn't meet you in the arena, but I didn't expect you to have the courage to catch up alone."

Naruto frowned and looked at Kankuro, feeling annoyed. He was concerned about the Third Hokage, and knew that if he delayed for one more second here, the Third Hokage would be in more danger. Without any hesitation, Naruto shaved and instantly flashed in front of Kankuro. He gathered a Rasengan in his right hand and slammed it into Kankuro's abdomen. Kankuro felt a flash before his eyes, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Then the scene in front of him changed rapidly, and he flew backwards. "Boom boom boom boom..." Until Kankuro felt a strong impact on his back, a sharp pain came, and he immediately fell into a coma.

Temari, who was not far away, witnessed all this. Seeing Kanjuro being knocked hundreds of meters away, she couldn't help but reveal a look of fear and worry on her face. Her eyes were full of panic, and she thought to herself: Naruto is so powerful, I wonder how badly Kanjuro is injured. Temari bit her lips tightly, and was extremely anxious, not knowing what to do. Her eyes moved back and forth between the unconscious Kanjuro and the direction where Naruto disappeared, struggling with what action to take next.

However, at this moment, Naruto teleported in front of Temari like a ghost. Temari looked at the handsome man in front of her, but at this moment he was like a demon god descending to the earth, and his powerful aura made people almost breathless. "You, don't come over!" The slightly trembling voice showed her inner panic. But Naruto seemed not to hear it, and his eyes went straight past her and said to Gaara who was lying on her shoulder: "Shukaku, just come out. With your Jinchūriki, you are not my opponent." However, I don't know if Gaara heard what Naruto said, he always lay on Temari's shoulder motionless, as if he fell into a deep sleep. Temari's heartbeat was as violent as a drum, she looked at Naruto nervously, her brain was working fast, thinking about how to deal with it. The air around seemed to solidify, and the tense atmosphere filled every corner.
