Chapter 495 Konoha's Breakdown in Progress_2

······

By this time, the arena had been repaired, and the contestants drawn were Haruno Sakura and Gaara.

"As expected!" Kakashi confirmed his inner thoughts, "Lord Hokage is looking to suppress Sunagakure... That's one of the reasons I dislike getting involved in the higher-ups' decisions. The political tactics against other countries... Although it's justifiable for him to do so as a member of Konoha, I can never really take a liking to it."

After entering the arena, Haruno Sakura greeted Gaara, saying, "We meet again, kid with the tattoo on your forehead."

Kid?

Gaara let out a cold laugh and said, "I'll show you what cruelty is!"

As his voice fell, sand rose up like a long whip, sweeping towards Haruno Sakura, enveloping her and filling the entire arena, making it impossible for those outside to see what was happening within.

"In this way, even if I were to kill you, it would be fine, right?"

"Hehehe!"

Gaara sneered, appearing almost insane.
