"It's you!" Gaara's entire body turned into yellow sand and disappeared from the tree, instantly appearing in front of Sora.
Aside from Sora, no one present saw how he moved.
Gaara remembered the person who had brought him pain and whom he could never forget.
Seeing Sora, the Killing Intent in his heart began to spread uncontrollably.
He was now a Shura who proved his existence with blood, and Sora's presence made him feel his own incompetence.
Yet it also reminded him of the pleasure he once felt when killing his enemies.
Temari noticed Gaara was on the verge of losing control and quickly warned him, "Gaara, calm down, this is Konaha Village."
The Killing Intent in Gaara's eyes was colder than ice, and he almost couldn't resist attacking.
Sora looked at him calmly and said, "Don't be in a hurry, we didn't decide a winner back then, but now we have a chance.
In the Chunin Exams, as long as you don't lose to anyone, we will eventually have an opportunity to fight."
Sora remembered this person who had once brought him immense pressure and even a sense of death for the first time since he came to the Ninja World, yet he held no hatred toward him.
After all, it had only been a mission, each serving their own master.
Moreover, after learning about the backgrounds of these Jinchuriki, he realized that they were remarkably similar.
However, Sora still had Tsunade and Shizune, so his life had been far happier and more comfortable.
Because of that, he held no hatred toward Gaara and only regarded him as an opponent.
Tsunade had once said that having an opponent who could push you forward was a good thing.
Having someone who could catch up the moment he slacked off would naturally force him to grow stronger.
Clearly, Gaara was playing that role now. But not hating him did not mean Sora would hold back. When they fought, he would still strike hard.
Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Is this guy with the dark circles under his eyes acquainted with Sora?"
Uchiha Sasuke stared at Gaara with a serious expression and said, "Such terrifying Killing Intent, it's not inferior to Zabuza's."
Gaara took a deep breath and slowly suppressed the murderous aura in his heart, then said coldly.
"Chunin Exams, I'll be waiting for you, your existence makes me unable to feel the value of my own life."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Sora watched him calmly and said, "I thought you'd act immediately, it seems you've improved a lot since then, interesting."
He smiled faintly, though his eyes remained indifferent. Gaara's ability to hold himself back surprised him slightly.
Sakura Haruno immediately understood after hearing Gaara's words and asked, "Sora, are you also here for the Chunin Exams?"
At the same time, she felt immense pressure.
With someone like him participating, if she encountered Sora in the exams, she might as well surrender immediately.
Sora simply nodded and said, "Mm."
His figure then vanished from the spot instantly, leaving Sakura Haruno with her mouth open as she tried to say something but failed to utter a word.
Uzumaki Naruto snorted and shouted loudly, "Tch, that arrogant guy is still the same, but with even him participating in the Chunin Exams, I'm full of motivation!"
Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists and said seriously, "This Chunin Exams is going to be truly exciting."
He still wasn't confident he could defeat Sora, but he absolutely would not give up.
After returning to his assigned residence in Konaha Village, Sora carefully reviewed the strong opponents he had seen today, mentally imagining how he would fight them if they faced each other.
"Interesting, from their current strength, Gaara is the strongest, even I can't discern the limit of his potential, Shukaku's Jinchuriki is truly powerful."
During the following days, Sora barely left his residence.
He had already gathered all the information he needed, so now he simply waited for the Chunin Exams to begin.
A few days later, ninja from various Hidden Villages arrived one after another, and the day of the Chunin Exams finally arrived.
"It's time," Sora muttered.
These past few days had not been wasted. While staying inside, he had been studying the changes in his Qi and Blood every day while researching the Secret Technique he had recently obtained. At this point, he had perfected and fully mastered this powerful Secret Technique.
When Sora arrived at the Chunin Exams venue, he found a large group of Genin blocked outside the entrance, including Uzumaki Naruto and the others.
Sora glanced at the entrance and said calmly, "Genjutsu, unfortunately the level is too low, it can't even fool slightly skilled Genin."
He had no interest in wasting time there.
Uzumaki Naruto spotted him from afar and shouted, "It's Sora!"
Hyuga Neji, who stood nearby with Tenten and Rock Lee, immediately turned his gaze toward Sora.
It wasn't that Sora was especially eye-catching, but their teachers had specifically warned them about him.
"If you encounter an examinee named Sora, you must be extremely vigilant, my eternal rival Kakashi's judgment is never wrong.
Since he gave such a high evaluation of this person, you must pay attention, otherwise you will lose very badly."
Rock Lee stared at Sora with burning determination and said quietly, "He's the one Guy Sensei told us to watch out for."
Sora had no idea that he had already become a major focus among the Genin, mainly because Kakashi had unintentionally promoted him with his evaluation.
When the two ninja blocking the entrance saw Sora completely ignore them, they shouted coldly, "Hey, kid!"
Sora glanced at them briefly, formed a hand seal, and said calmly, "Put away your Transformation Jutsu, Release."
The Genjutsu instantly shattered.
He then walked toward the examination area as if no one else existed.
Beside him were two Shadow Clones that had transformed into the appearance of other people, disguising themselves as his teammates.
Just as Sora was about to go upstairs, someone called out from behind him.
"Wait."
Sora stopped and turned around.
Rock Lee stepped forward and introduced himself seriously, "I'm Rock Lee, a Genin from the previous class, I have something I would like to discuss with you.
There is still some time before the exam begins, so I hope we can have a sparring match, if that's alright."
Rock Lee paused briefly before adding, "Of course, before that, I would also like to test whether the Uchiha Clan's bloodline is truly that powerful."
Sora looked at him calmly and replied, "Alright, consider it a warm-up match."
He wasn't particularly interested in most people, but Rock Lee was different.
If Lee unleashed his full strength, he would be extremely formidable.
Moreover, the taijutsu he practiced represented the pinnacle of Konaha's taijutsu, the style passed down by Might Guy.
Although Sora's Monster Strength Fist was naturally the bane of taijutsu specialists, there was still much he could learn from someone who focused entirely on taijutsu.
Soon, the group headed down to the main hall.
Hyuga Neji and Tenten, who had originally planned to leave, unexpectedly followed as well.
Tenten sighed helplessly and said, "Didn't we agree to keep a low profile, Neji, why are you following too, that's not like you."
Neji calmly activated his Byakugan and observed Sora before replying.
"I used my Byakugan to observe him just now, his Chakra is very strong, and inside his body there is another power I cannot see through."
He then added seriously, "It seems Guy Sensei was right, this person is indeed worth our attention, after all he once single-handedly repelled a Jonin."
