Chapter 115: Chuunin Exam, Conclusion Chapter 116: The Crumbling Leaf Chapter 117: The Assigned Mission Volume 13 starts as the crowd is awaiting the next round, namely the arrival of Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke appears in a tornado of leaves with his sensei, and Gaara goes to start the match, and kills two ninjas who ask him to lose for the sake of a bet. Naruto and Shikamaru are nearby, and are scared to death by Gaara's cold-heartedness. Naruto then proceeds to run to Kakashi in order to warn him. Meanwhile, Sasuke and Gaara's fight begin. Sasuke shows that he has acquired Lee's speed, and the fight becomes very interesting. Gaara surrounds himself in an impenatrable sphere of sand, and Sasuke attacks it in futility. Then Sasuke unleashes his Chidori, and pierces the shield. Having severely wounded the untouchable man, Sasuke is frightened by an extremely evil chakra within the shield, and a strange eye that is imprinted on his mind. Gaaras shield collapses, and Konohagakure Village is launched into war for the first time in years. Kazekage reveals himself to be Orochimaru in disguise, and he and Hokage begin their fight on the rooftop of the main building of the stadium. Kakashi and other jounins fight in the stands, and Sakura awakens her comrades. Kakashi then assigns Sakura, Naruto, Shikamaru, and the little dog Pakkun on another A-Rank mission: to find and rescue Sasuke who had run off after Gaara. |
