"Beep… beep… tap!"
After a flurry of names flashed across the notice board, it settled on two: "Naruto Uzumaki VS Rock Lee!"
"Hey, Naruto, it's your turn," Sakura said, patting Naruto on the shoulder and giving him an encouraging smile. "Good luck!"
"Good luck," Sasuke said flatly, but he was silently cheering Naruto on internally.
"Yeah, don't worry, I'll definitely win!"
Naruto Uzumaki grinned, jumping down from the stands.
"Rock Lee! It's your turn! Show us the power of youth!"
Might Guy, on the stands, gave Rock Lee a thumbs up, flashing his rows of gleaming teeth.
"Yes! Teacher Guy!"
Rock Lee saluted with perfect posture.
"Alright! Go, Rock Lee!"
"Yes!"
Watching the two, Naruto Uzumaki sweated a little. They really ham it up...
"Hello, my name is Rock Lee, and I'm very happy to be facing you."
Rock Lee flipped down from the stands, looking at Naruto across from him.
"Watermelon head, stop wasting time and come at me..."
Naruto looked at Rock Lee helplessly, "And also, don't strike that pose, it's really corny, you know? Super thick eyebrows..."
"Hmm... You..."
Rock Lee was stunned for a moment, then pulled out a notebook from behind him, "Watermelon head and thick eyebrows accurately summarize my hairstyle and the thickness of my eyebrows; how insightful... Worth noting!"
"Damn, I can't stand it!"
Looking at Rock Lee quickly writing in his notebook, Naruto roared, and a Rasengan slammed towards Rock Lee.
Boom!
Rock Lee swiftly dodged, and a massive roar erupted from the ground.
"Such power..."
Rock Lee and the crowd in the stands were all astonished by the power of Naruto's move.
Emerging from a ten-meter-wide, one-meter-deep crater, Naruto gritted his teeth and glared at Rock Lee: "Now, can you shut up?"
"Lee, take it off quickly! You won't be able to beat him if you don't!"
Might Guy's voice was frantic.
"Yes!"
Rock Lee also realized how powerful his opponent was, and he quickly jumped onto the sign-sealing fingers of the giant statue in front of the electronic bulletin board.
He sat down and removed the two heavy weights tied to his legs, then threw them down from the air.
"Boom!"
A huge roar erupted, creating a crater that was only slightly less destructive than the one caused by Naruto's Rasengan.
"Hah! Whoosh!"
With a loud shout, Rock Lee leaped down from the fingers. His speed was so fast that the crowd in the stands could barely follow his movements with their eyes.
"Nine-Tailed Fox, how about we compete with him in speed?"
Naruto's voice echoed in his mind.
"No problem, I don't give a damn about this kind of speed."
The Nine-Tailed Fox's domineering aura was on full display.
"Whoosh! Boom! Ugh... Boom!"
Two swift figures clashed almost instantly, and then a black shadow was sent flying like a cannonball.
"Lee..."
Might Guy looked at Naruto Uzumaki on the field with a face full of disbelief, "He actually lost to someone in terms of speed."
"Cough, cough!"
Rock Lee climbed out of the rubble, coughing a few times as he looked at Naruto, who was unharmed on the other side. "This guy's speed is actually above mine..."
"Alright… Might Guy-sensei, now's the time to prove my ninja way!"
Rock Lee roared, "Gate of Healing, open!"
Boom!
A massive amount of chakra surged from within Lee, completely enveloping him.
"Next, the Gate of Life, open!"
"Gate of Pain! Gate of Limit! Open! Hyaaa!"
At this moment, Rock Lee's skin had turned completely red.
"The final gate… Gate of View, open!"
After opening the last gate, Rock Lee's speed had become terrifying, almost instantly appearing beside Naruto.
"Nine-Tailed Fox, can you handle this?"
Naruto flashed to the side, but his speed was clearly a bit slower than Rock Lee's.
"No problem!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox's confident voice rang out.
"Boom!"
Deep red chakra erupted from his body, and Naruto's speed immediately soared to another terrifying level.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Almost instantly, Naruto and Rock Lee exchanged over a hundred blows, kicking up sand and stones that obscured the entire training ground.
"Ouch… that hurts!"
A group of genin, hit by the flying debris, groaned in pain.
"Wham! Hidden Lotus!"
"Nine-Tails Shield Armor!"
"Clang!"
With two loud shouts, Rock Lee launched a fierce flying kick at Naruto, aiming to knock him into the air to perform the Hidden Lotus.
But the next moment, Rock Lee felt as if his leg had struck a solid steel plate.
"This feeling is…"
Rock Lee's heart skipped a beat, and then he felt one of his legs being firmly gripped.
"One of the techniques for throwing people around… the Crazy Spinning Technique!"
With a silly shout, Naruto grabbed Rock Lee's leg and began to spin him at an extremely high speed, with a very short cycle…
