Chapter 257 Sasuke, the King of Stepping on Landmines
As soon as Sasuke stepped into the preparation area, he felt a gaze filled with intense fighting spirit lock onto him.
Looking in the direction the gaze came from, Sasuke saw a red-haired brat with dark circles under his eyes, carrying a gourd on his back.
Sasuke also recognized this red-haired brat; he was mentioned in the information provided by Kabuto Yakushi.
Gaara from Sunagakure.
It is extremely powerful, capable of controlling idiots to fight, and it is extremely ruthless when it comes to doing so.
Seeing that Sasuke was looking at him, Gaara did not look away, but continued to stare at Sasuke.
"You're the first Uchiha Sasuke to pass the test?"
Sasuke snorted coldly.
"What, didn't your mother teach you to introduce yourself before asking who someone is? You really have no manners."
"you!"
Temari and Kankuro, who were standing next to Gaara, were dumbfounded.
No, is this Uchiha Sasuke some kind of master of stepping on landmines?
How could someone so openly and perfectly step into the enemy's minefield?
"I want you to die!"
In an instant, Gaara's protective shield activated, unleashing a whirlwind of yellow sand that hurtled straight towards Sasuke.
Sasuke was not afraid at all and was ready to unleash his ninjutsu.
"Tushiribi!"
However, before Gaara's sand could even hurt Sasuke, an earthen wall suddenly rose up from the ground, separating the two of them. On this earthen wall was a lifelike dog head carved.
"Both candidates, fighting is strictly prohibited before the exam begins. Otherwise, both of you will be disqualified from the exam. Do you understand?"
Kakashi walked out of the corridor, staring with dead fish eyes at the two people he had separated.
The leader of Sunagakure quickly stepped forward to comfort them.
"Gaara, calm down. Once we get to the field, you'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him. Don't be impulsive. Focus on the bigger picture."
“I understand, Maki. I will wait until I get on the field before killing him.”
Gaara slowly withdrew the sand, but the killing intent in his eyes remained undiminished.
Seeing that Gaara had taken back the sand, Kakashi also took back the Earth Wall.
He looked at Sasuke, thought for a moment, and then walked towards Sasuke.
"Uchiha Sasuke, right?"
Sasuke looked at Kakashi and said something.
"How are things, Kakashi? How are the eyes of our clan?"
Kakashi choked for a moment. Goodness, does Sasuke really like poking holes in people's lungs?
"Well, it's quite useful. It has excellent dynamic vision, which allows me to see many details that I can't see under normal circumstances."
As he spoke, he touched the eyes beneath his headband.
"Then use it well, don't disgrace the name of the Sharingan."
Kakashi nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was wrong; he seemed to have been led astray.
"No, that's not what I came to talk about."
He quickly changed the subject and asked.
"Back in the Land of Waves, you seemed to have used a Lightning Release ninjutsu, the Chidori, right?"
Sasuke had nothing to hide.
"That's right, Lightning Release: Chidori."
"Where did you learn this technique?"
It's important to know that Chidori and other ninjutsu derived from it, such as Lightning Blade, were all developed by him. He never taught them to anyone. So how did Sasuke learn them?
When I saw him use Chidori to pierce Haku's ice mirror in the Land of Waves last time, I wanted to ask Sasuke where he learned this technique.
Of course, it's also possible that Sasuke developed a technique that is highly similar to his own ninjutsu.
The problem is that the technique Sasuke used is also called Lightning Release: Chidori.
Are you sure you want to know the answer? Sometimes, knowing the answer doesn't make you happy.
Kakashi frowned, but nodded nonetheless.
"I still want to know the answer."
Seeing that Kakashi was determined to know the answer, Sasuke answered directly.
"You also know my teacher. He was once a member of Konoha. He is Orochimaru."
Orochimaru!
In that instant, Kakashi's mind went blank, as if he'd been electrocuted.
He immediately thought of many things.
Sasuke represented the Land of Grass in the Chunin Exams, and Sasuke's teacher was Orochimaru. Does this mean that Orochimaru is in the Land of Grass?
If Orochimaru is in the Land of Grass, what is his relationship with the daimyo of the Land of Grass? Are they cooperating? Or has Orochimaru already taken control of the daimyo of the Land of Grass?
Also, was it Orochimaru or the Daimyo of the Land of Grass who sent Sasuke and his group to participate in the Chunin Exams?
No, no, no!
That time, Sasuke appeared with Tobi and Madara Uchiha. Today, with Madara Uchiha present, why is Orochimaru Sasuke's teacher?
Was Sasuke lying to himself?
Kakashi looked at Sasuke with suspicion, but Sasuke didn't seem to be lying.
Although, as a ninja, there is a course on how to conceal one's micro-expressions.
However, it is very difficult for a teenager to completely hide their micro-expressions.
Tsk, after all these years as a ninja, this is the first time I've encountered a problem that I can't figure out myself.
Oh well, if there's a problem, it's the Hokage who should be worried, not me. I should just do what I'm supposed to do.
"I understand. You can study the Chidori ninjutsu carefully. If you master it, you can make more derivatives and variations."
Kakashi gave Sasuke one last reminder before turning and leaving.
After Kakashi left, Gaara glared at Sasuke.
"You'd better pray you don't run into me in the ring so soon."
In response to Gaara's provocation, Sasuke simply replied calmly.
"I hope your skills are as sharp as your words."
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Maki immediately led Gaara and the others to move away.
What if Gaara can't resist rushing in and starts fighting Sasuke Uchiha? That would be troublesome, as the village still has plans that Gaara needs to complete.
After Gaara was taken away, Sasuke calmly looked at the others.
He was sizing them up, trying to see if there were any people among them who could be his rivals.
Soon, a pair of white eyes met his gaze.
Upon seeing those white eyes, Sasuke immediately became interested and activated his Sharingan to meet their gaze.
"Uchiha Sasuke, Sharingan? Interesting. Our Byakugan is by no means weaker than any Sharingan."
The two stared at each other with their special pupils activated, neither giving an inch.
This drew curious glances from others.
The pharmacist adjusted his glasses and laughed.
"Hahaha, how interesting. I never thought that after so many years since the Uchiha clan massacre, the Byakugan and Sharingan would clash again?"
Back when the two clans were both in Konoha, they often clashed over the title of the clan with the strongest eye technique.
