[Thump—]
[Before he could fully turn around, Lee was struck in the back by Kiba's fist.]
[A dull thud sounded.]
[Immediately after, Lee's offensive did not slow down.]
[His back-kick slammed into Kiba's chest.]
[Both of them were instantly sent flying backward.]
[Crash—]
[Kiba also slid several meters in a squirrel-like landing posture before gritting his teeth and looking up to check Akamaru's injuries.]
[Seeing Akamaru get up as well, he breathed a sigh of relief.]
[He couldn't help but grin, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said excitedly: "Akamaru, the bond between us... has already made them feel fear!"]
["Woof~!"]
[Akamaru, still in Kiba's form, let out a bark.]
[The onlookers watched in silence.]
[On Lee's side, to prevent being double-teamed again, he slammed his hands against the ground as he retreated.]
[His figure immediately soared up, landing on that giant sculpture of hands forming a seal.]
Uchiha Izuna: It's clear that both sides still have tricks up their sleeves.
Senju Tobirama: "Isn't that obvious?"
Senju Tobirama: "As the disciple of Might Guy's son, and with their Ninja paths being so similar, Rock Lee must have already mastered the Eight Gates."
Orochimaru: "When Sasuke fought me, he could open the first two gates effortlessly."
Might Guy: "Hahaha~"
Might Guy: "Indeed, Ninjas who cannot use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu are rare."
Might Guy: "Lee... is also a genius!"
Might Guy: "A genius of hard work!"
Might Guy: "Kiba and Akamaru are also very hardworking... but Lee will definitely win."
Might Guy: "Lee!"
In the Chat Room, Might Guy's voice trailed off.
At the same time.
black-framed large screen:
["Lee!"]
[On the second-floor balcony.]
[Might Guy suddenly shouted.]
[Lee followed the sound and looked over.]
[He looked completely confused.]
["Lee, take them off." Might Guy reached out and gave a thumbs-up, his lips curling slightly.]
This scene caused the expressions of the Genin who had seen Lee's true strength to change drastically.
Hyuga Neji's eyes twitched slightly.
If he remembered correctly... that was prepared for him.
Kakashi glanced at his close friend beside him.
Intuition told him that Might Guy also had a move saved for him.
[Lee was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied: "But... Teacher Guy!"]
["Didn't you say I could only use it when protecting the most important people?"]
["It's alright, I'm giving you permission, and besides..."]
["Kiba must be looking forward to it as well."]
["Hmph, take them off!" Kiba closed his eyes and shook his head with a chuckle.]
[Whether it's the Reverse Lotus or the Front Lotus.]
[Against others, they might be extremely brutal Forbidden Jutsu.]
[But... who is he?!]
[He is the super invincible master of spinning; Kiba and Akamarus Combined Technique pierces from beginning to end!]
[If you dare use the Lotus on him or Akamaru, he'll hit you back with a Reverse Kiba and Akamarus Combined Technique Lotus.]
[Lee was completely stunned upon hearing this.]
[Then, a look of joy appeared on his face.]
[Because... he had long since had this idea.]
[In terms of time spent training with Naruto... Kiba actually had one more year than him.]
[After all, he, Neji, and Tenten were from the previous class and graduated a year earlier.]
["Yes!" Lee nodded heavily.]
[Might Guy's lips curled up, his pearly white teeth flashing.]
[Lee didn't waste any time.]
[He immediately sat down and rolled up his pant legs.]
[Revealing the leg weights inscribed with 'Guts'.]
[Well... the fake tycoon is Tenten.]
[The real tycoon is Lee.]
[These two weight devices are not cheap.]
["Those are... weights?" Kankuro narrowed his eyes slightly.]
["Tch~ Boring!" Kankuro gave his evaluation.]
[Kakashi glanced at the excited Might Guy beside him.]
["What's the use of that kind of training?"]
["You didn't even use it yourself at that age."]
["Also, don't make that face... otherwise I'll think my book... cough, my Youth Training Manual was swiped by you again."]
[Might Guy's mouth twitched, "What do you mean swiped?!"]
["Borrowed! Understand? Borrowed!"]
[On the other side.]
[Lee had already unfastened the weights on both legs.]
[He held up the two weights inscribed with 'Guts' in both hands.]
["Great~!" Lee's expression was exaggerated.]
["It's so much easier to move like this!"]
[Seeing this.]
[The Rookie 9 all showed solemn expressions.]
[And Inuzuka Kiba, inside the arena, was even more solemn.]
[Akamaru lowered his body slightly and let out a low growl.]
[Beast instinct!]
[The opponent is very strong!]
[On Sunagakure's side.]
[Baki crossed his arms, his expression indifferent.]
[Temari stood with one hand on her hip, first glancing at a certain handsome blonde who also looked calm.]
[Then her gaze shifted, falling on the two weight devices Lee had released, which were falling vertically.]
["Looking at it... it probably won't be much."]
["Reducing weight can indeed increase speed in a very short time."]
["But the body will soon adapt and adjust... if not handled well, the speed and power might not increase but... de... crease..."]
[BOOM—!!!]
[Gaara's eyes narrowed slightly.]
[The entire dojo trembled a few times.]
[Except for the Ninjas familiar with The Rookie 9, everyone else showed looks of disbelief.]
[Even Konan's cool, pretty face briefly showed a look of astonishment.]
[Naruto instinctively glanced over and caught the astonishment on her face.]
[Naruto: "..."]
[He quickly shook his head, shaking off thoughts he shouldn't have at a time like this.]
[What's wrong with me?]
[Could it be...]
[Come to think of it, after Kushina and Minato Namikaze returned, Kurenai Yuhi and Yūgao Uzuki, with great tacit understanding, chose to do their best to restrain themselves...]
[Red Bean had a chance.]
[But... Kurenai Yuhi and Yūgao Uzuki both underestimated Red Bean.]
[And also underestimated Kushina as a mother.]
[She had already noticed something was wrong and observed for a while...]
[Cough, of course, the most important thing was that Red Bean 'defected'.]
[Kushina only had to use a little 'incentive', and Anko directly bowed her head to greet her as Mother.]
[However, Kushina chose to remain silent and did not expose it.]
[She just quietly controlled Anko, saying the time wasn't ripe yet and to be patient for now.]
"Anko!!!" x2
Kurenai Yuhi and Yūgao Uzuki's eyes widened.
However, when the two women looked to their sides.
Where was the Anko who seemed to know nothing?
Not even a shadow remained.
Kurenai Yuhi, Yūgao Uzuki: "..."
["Isn't that going a bit too far?" Kakashi covered his face, speechless.]
[Might Guy excitedly waved his arm: "Go, Lee!"]
[Everyone fell silent.]
[Inuzuka Kiba's eyes twitched.]
[He knew Lee's weights were insane... but he never expected them to be this insane!]
["Aow~!" Lee cheered.]
[Immediately after, he crouched down and gave a light leap.]
[Whoosh—]
[In the next instant, he vanished from the spot.]
[Gaara, who could originally barely maintain his'stone face', widened his eyes.]
[He disappeared!]
[This isn't the Body Flicker Technique... it's pure physical strength!]
