Chapter 165: Gaara is made to vomit blood.
A blue lightning bolt flashed, followed by a muffled thud.
"bang"
Gaara felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then his body flew up.
It slammed into the wall of the arena like a cannonball.
A crater several meters deep appeared on the wall of the stadium.
Gaara was lying in the pit.
"Ugh~"
When he got up, he was spitting out blood. Sasuke's attack had been powerful and heavy, injuring his internal organs.
At this moment, Gaara felt intense pain all over his body.
His skin began to crack, and chunks of yellow soil fell off, which then turned into yellow sand.
"Wow, what incredible power."
"Is this the power of the Uchiha clan!?"
"With just one strike, Gaara was reduced to this state. He probably didn't even have time to react, right?"
"As expected of a genius from the Uchiha clan, he must be the strongest among this year's Chunin Exams participants."
.......
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.
Everyone cheered for Sasuke.
That was absolutely fantastic.
This is the kind of ninja showdown they really want to see.
Although the previous battles were quite exciting, they always felt like children playing house.
For a moment, the audience cheered for Sasuke.
People who only knew that Sasuke was from the Uchiha clan are now desperately trying to learn more about him.
At this moment, Sasuke became a star.
His opening move was truly stunning.
It wasn't just the audience who were deeply impressed.
Even many ninjas in the audience were shocked by Sasuke's move.
Genma Shiranui, acting as the referee, stood on the sidelines without saying a word.
But I was already incredibly shocked.
"Uchiha Sasuke? As expected of someone from the Uchiha clan, his strength far surpasses that of other ninjas of the same level."
"Moreover, he hasn't even activated his Sharingan yet, and he already has Jonin-level speed and strength."
"It seems the village will soon have an additional Jonin."
Jonin are the village's top fighting force, and it's a great thing for each village to have one more.
Moreover, he is a Jonin of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke's future will not stop at Jonin. It won't be long before he reaches the Kage level.
Genma Shiranui would not deny this.
In the audience, Kai turned to look at Kakashi beside him. "Kakashi, you taught him taijutsu, right?"
Kakashi remained calm, because he already knew about Sasuke's strength.
Kakashi did not deny it, saying, "That's right, it incorporates some of your taijutsu."
Kai smiled. "No wonder I was so serious."
"Naruto must have taught Sasuke some taijutsu, right?"
Kakashi nodded. "The two have spoken."
Because Sasuke at this time was not as extreme and arrogant as he was in the original work.
Therefore, he was able to listen to Ye Yu's words, and Ye Yu told him to learn more physical skills.
So he not only learned taijutsu from Kakashi, but also learned a lot of Guy's taijutsu from Naruto.
Kai continued, "His speed is about the same as Rock Lee's when he opens the Eight Gates."
In the original work, Sasuke's speed at this time was the same as the speed at which he untied his weights.
The current Sasuke is stronger than he was at this time in the original story, and his speed is about the same as when Rock Lee opened the Third Gate.
With the addition of Lightning Release: Instantaneous Movement, his speed was now the same as when Rock Lee activated the Eight Gates.
Kai exclaimed, "As expected of the Uchiha clan, he achieved the speed that Lee took years to reach in just a few months."
Kakashi was not surprised.
Lee is indeed talented and hardworking, but Sasuke is able to catch up with Lee's progress in taijutsu within a few months, a progress that took Lee several years to achieve.
If Sasuke's main focus wasn't on taijutsu...
Sasuke's taijutsu skills now probably surpass those of Rock Lee.
Even within this period of the original story, Guy marveled at Sasuke's amazing talent, marveling that he had achieved in just a few months what Rock Lee had taken several years to accomplish.
That's how big the gap is between geniuses and ordinary people.
This was even when Sasuke wasn't focusing on taijutsu.
However, Kai was quite pleased. "Kakashi, how about you consider letting me teach Sasuke?"
Kakashi glanced at Guy and said calmly, "He doesn't just learn taijutsu. Are you going to teach him the Eight Gates?"
Kai laughed and said, "Why not? I think Sasuke should be able to learn it easily."
"If he wants to learn it, he will take the initiative to find you. Physical skills are just an aid to him. I'm afraid he's not interested in the Eight Gates Formation."
Kai was somewhat disappointed.
Although he knew that Sasuke was a genius in every aspect and would definitely not want to focus on taijutsu.
But he genuinely believed that Sasuke was a genius, even more talented than Rock Lee.
But Sasuke probably won't be able to learn it.
Let alone Sasuke, virtually any ninja who can use ninjutsu would not want to focus on taijutsu.
For example, among the Kai team, only Xiao Li learned the Eight Gates Formation.
Guy had previously wanted to teach Neji and Tenten the Eight Gates, but both of them refused.
Tenten felt she didn't have the talent, while Neji did, but he possessed the Hyuga clan's taijutsu and wasn't interested in Guy's Eight Gates.
As for the third generation...
Seeing the strength Sasuke displayed.
Orochimaru became more and more excited as he watched.
She could barely suppress the smile on her face.
"This must be the most outstanding genius in your Konoha, Hokage. Your village is so lucky."
The third generation smiled, and he was very pleased.
Sasuke's strength exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought that Sasuke was only at the Chunin level at this time.
Unexpectedly, Sasuke has already demonstrated the level of a Jonin, even if it's just in terms of taijutsu and body flicker.
But he knew that Sasuke could also use Chidori.
With Sasuke's speed, plus the Sharingan and Chidori.
At this point, Sasuke definitely had the strength of a Jonin.
With the addition of Yoru, Konoha now has one more Jonin and one more Kage-level ninja.
Previously worried about the future of Konoha's Third Hokage, he can now finally relax.
"Even if Orochimaru attacks the village, as long as Yoru, Sasuke, and Naruto are safe, the village's foundation will remain."
"Even if I die in battle, with them around, Konoha's future won't be greatly affected."
The Third Hokage knew that Orochimaru would definitely attack the village during the tournament.
He simply didn't know when or from where the attack took place.
He also donned his armor, waiting for Orochimaru to appear.
Now he waited for Orochimaru to attack without any worries.
What the Third Hokage didn't expect was that Orochimaru, whom he had been waiting for, was sitting right next to him.
After all, the Third Hokage never expected that Orochimaru could kill the Fourth Kazekage and then brazenly impersonate him and sit next to him.
When Maki in the audience saw Gaara being beaten to the point of vomiting blood, he was stunned.
"That guy actually made Gaara cough up blood? Are you kidding me?"
Temari and Kankuro were both stunned.
"That guy is really strong; he actually managed to make Gaara cough up blood. But if that's the case, can the attack plan still proceed as scheduled?"
