Chapter 63: Konoha’s Fangs!

Naruto let go of Temari, dropped to one knee, and placed his hands on the ground.

"Wood Style—Four-Pillar House Technique!" A traditional Japanese-style building rose from the earth in front of them.

"Come on, beauty, you can't run away now. Step inside and chat with me," Naruto said with a playful grin.

Temari's eyes widened in shock. How does he know the First Hokage's secret Wood Style jutsu?

Naruto leaned in, whispering, "Let me tell you a secret. I'm actually an orphan of the Senju clan. You know Tsunade, the legendary Sannin? Well, she's my fiancée."

"What?!" Temari was stunned. She felt the need to relay this shocking information back to the Hidden Sand Village.

Suddenly, Temari jumped back and swung her fan with a swift motion, activating her "Kaiten Jutsu!" Looking around, she found that Naruto had disappeared. Just then, a whisper sounded in her ear: "Don't get too excited, beauty. I told you, you can't escape."

"Nani?" Temari turned in surprise, only to hear: "Wood Style—Four-Pillar Prison Technique!" Massive logs erupted from the ground, surrounding Naruto, Temari, and the wooden structure.

"Come on, let's go inside and have a cup of tea~," Naruto said, grinning.

Temari:

Konoha Village

The three-headed giant snake summoned by Orochimaru wreaked havoc across the village, and Ibiki Morino led the Torture and Interrogation Division to deal with it.

Suddenly, a shout rang out from above: "body Press Technique!"

A massive toad, wielding two blades, landed in the sky, pressing one of the snake's heads to the ground.

"What's that?" Konoha shinobi exclaimed in confusion.

"Ignoring it, Ibiki," the figure atop the toad said. "Honestly, all you've grown is your size."

"Master Jiraiya!" Ibiki said with a relieved tone. It was Jiraiya, who had tasked Naruto with gathering materials!

Jiraiya then started a bizarre dance, something only he could understand. "Hey, rookies! Open your eyes wide! Look up to the sky, for it's Jiraiya, the legendary sage! Let the performance begin!"

Konoha shinobi looked at Jiraiya and the giant snake. "Is Orochimaru finally making his move?"

"What about the Third Hokage?" Jiraiya asked.

"At the Chuunin Exam venue!" Ibiki replied.

"I see," Jiraiya said as he glanced toward the venue, then without another word, jumped onto the giant snake riding on top of his toad.

Konoha was fully mobilized, and every villager moved swiftly into the shelter, showing the precision of their execution in times of crisis.

A ninja eagle flew across the sky, announcing loudly.

The villagers turned to look. "Is the evacuation complete?"

Everyone who had been hesitant to fight now gathered their strength.

On the Streets of Konoha

Shurikens whizzed through the air, aiming for the advancing Sand and Sound ninjas.

"Nani?" a Sand shinobi looked up in confusion.

Anbu members stood in formation on the rooftops, shouting, "Don't even think about advancing!"

At the Hyuga Clan's Station

A dozen Sand ninjas surrounded Hyuga Hiashi when a Sand shinobi yelled, "What are you doing? The enemy is alone!"

"Revolving Heaven!" Hiashi said, spinning, and in an instant, the Sand shinobi were thrown back.

"Hyuga is the strongest clan in Konoha—listen and obey!" Hiashi commanded.

At a Private House

Shikaku Nara leaned lazily on the balcony.

"Damn! Why can't I move?" a few Sand Shinobi muttered, horrified.

"—Shadow Possession Jutsu!"

Choji Akimichi yelled from nearby, "Expansion Jutsu!" He grew into a massive giant, swinging a large stick, sending enemies flying in all directions.

Inoichi Yamanaka was working his jutsu. "Mind Body Switch Jutsu!"

Sand Shinobi who were caught in the technique immediately lost control, starting to attack their own allies. Inoichi smirked as the chaos spread.

Meanwhile, Inuzuka Hana and her mother, Tsume Inuzuka, led a pack of dogs on the rooftops, attacking and tearing apart Sand Shinobi as they ran.

Once again, Konoha displayed its fangs as the strongest village in the ninja world!

Elsewhere, Sasuke vs. Gaara

Sasuke and Kankuro chased after Gaara and his team through the forest.

Sasuke stopped them, blocking their path. "You're not getting away."

"Damn it, did Temari fail?" Kankuro muttered. "Perfect, I'll deal with you, Sasuke!"

At that moment, a Sound ninja appeared, landing in front of them. "Why hasn't the plan been executed?"

"Obviously because Gaara is injured," Kankuro snapped. "His chakra needs to recover, so you take him and retreat. I'll hold off Sasuke."

The Sound ninja picked up Gaara and ran off at top speed.

"Hmph! It doesn't matter who comes!" Sasuke sneered.

"Sasuke!" A voice called out from the side. "Leave him to me!"

Sasuke turned and saw Shino standing by a tree.

"Shino? What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I overheard their plan," Shino explained. "They left the female chakra insect on you, so I followed the male one. Go ahead and chase Gaara. I'll take care of things here."

Sasuke smirked. "You talk tough, but are you sure you can handle this?"

"Don't worry," Shino replied calmly. "I'll be with you in ten minutes to cover you."

"Hmph, by then I'll have finished them all off!" Sasuke scoffed. "No one can stop me!"

With that, Sasuke jumped away, intent on catching up with Gaara.

Gaara's Awakening

Gaara, barely conscious, growled, "Bastard, who are you?"

Furious, Gaara knocked the Sound ninja away.

As Gaara looked back, Sasuke stood on a tree, watching him.

"Hmph, I don't know what your plans are in Konoha, but I'll stop you," Sasuke said coldly. "Let me see what you're really made of."

Suddenly, Gaara screamed in agony as his sand armor cracked, peeling away from his body.

"I'll kill you! I must kill you!" Gaara roared, his voice filled with rage.

A monstrous arm started to form in front of Sasuke, his body twisting into something monstrous.

"Come and feel it!" Gaara screamed as he charged forward.

Boom! The monstrous arm slammed into the tree Sasuke had been standing on.

"Are you afraid of me, Uchiha Sasuke?!" Gaara screamed, his voice echoing through the forest. "Are you afraid of me, Sasuke?!"

Sasuke removed his weight-bearing training suit, his eyes sharp with determination.
