"Perseverance? When it comes to perseverance, Rock Lee never admits defeat to anyone."
"How's it going on your side?"
Hearing Neji's self - satisfied tone as he praised his fellow team - mate, Sasuke asked.
"As you can see, he's a dumb guy with thick eyebrows and round eyes. He can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu, and he only takes taijutsu as his only path of cultivation! Only that extraordinary and unwavering perseverance is really amazing!"
................
"Sakura, look at those two standing there. Don't they look like two parents watching their kids?"
"Yeah~ You know what? They really do. They both have that kind of maturity and composure like parents."
................
"Naruto, for the sake of our friendship, I won't hold back!"
"Alright! I'll also go all out. Come on!"
Spectator: No way! This is just an exchange. You guys should go easy on each other!
Rock Lee spread his feet, assumed a stance, and waved to Naruto.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu"
Naruto created three clones, and he and his clones attacked Rock Lee from four different directions simultaneously.
Rock Lee gave a faint smile, his round eyes shining brightly.
"As expected of Naruto! He's mastered a jutsu at the jonin level. I won't lose either! Leaf Gale"
Rock Lee remained calm. He waited for Naruto's clones to get closer. Once they were within his attack range, he used a spinning sweep kick to instantly shatter Naruto's clones and send the original flying far away.
"Naruto, is this all you've got?"
Naruto hit the ground, having been beaten badly. He wiped the dust from the corner of his mouth. Instead of looking dejected, his eyes shone even brighter.
So strong! He's stronger than any rival I've ever faced before! Since that's the case, I'll use all my strength.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu"
Just like last time, he created three more clones to surround Rock Lee. Rock Lee raised his eyebrows, looking disdainful.
"Naruto, this move won't work on me!"
"You haven't even started, so how do you know it won't work! Wind Release: Airflow Disarray"
Naruto from four directions used Wind Release simultaneously. The powerful airflow blocked all four directions around Rock Lee. Then it rushed towards him.
"How about this? No matter how fast you are, you won't be able to move freely this time!"
Rock Lee was blown into the air by such a strong airflow. Once a person is in the air, it's not easy to change their body posture, and they lose their speed. Naruto seized this opportunity. It was time to decide the outcome with one strike.
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage"
A huge and powerful airflow rushed towards the target at high speed. If he were hit by a Wind Release of this level, he really wouldn't be able to participate in the subsequent exams!
But Rock Lee in the air didn't show the slightest bit of panic. With a flash of his figure, he disappeared from mid - air.
"It's impossible. He doesn't even have a foothold. How could he move so fast!"
Just as Naruto finished expressing his surprise, Rock Lee's attack arrived.
He squatted down and kicked Naruto hard under the chin with one foot. Naruto was forced to fly into the air, and his body fluttered uncontrollably in mid-air.
"Naruto, you're a great rival. To show my respect for you, I'll use my strongest jutsu to repay you!"
Lee dashed forward and instantly appeared behind Naruto, parallel to him. The bandages on his hands came loose, forming loops ready to tie Naruto up.
"Kakashi, Gai, they're here!"
Two elite Jonin rushed over upon hearing the news and saw this scene.
Gai threw his kunai and nailed Lee's bandages firmly to the wall, stopping his further attack.
"You'd better take good care of your students. It's almost exam time, and they're still fooling around here!"
...............
The Examiners were extremely anxious as they watched Sasuke and Neji's groups leave. What's wrong with these brats? They're all so cocky and hard to handle!
They only came to add a bit of difficulty to the exam, but these two guys didn't take them seriously at all and just left on their own!
What about the exam if these willful guys just leave? Are they, the Examiners, just supposed to stand here stupidly?
No! If these highly - anticipated brats don't take this written exam, everyone will surely blame us.
To avoid being blamed and punished, the two Examiners had no choice but to find the Jonin in charge of these two Genin squads. Originally, Kakashi and Gai were sitting leisurely, chatting and drinking tea, but they were dragged here by the Examiners who rushed over in a hurry.
Even the laid - back Kakashi got a bit angry on the way. These brats don't take the exam seriously, but it's him who will get scolded in the end.
"Lee! You idiot! Can't you tell what's important? It's almost exam time, and you dare to fool around here! What really gets me angry is that you dare to use the forbidden Kinjutsu!"
"Teacher Gai! I'm sorry. I was wrong!"
?_?
The master and disciple hugged each other tightly and cried loudly. The scene just looked a bit...
"But Teacher Kakashi, this was actually Sasuke's fault..."
Naruto was about to refute when Sasuke interrupted him.
"Kakashi, it's all Naruto's fault. This idiot insisted on having a duel with Lee and dragged us here. The Genin exam needs a team of three, right? Anyway, we can't take the exam without him, so we came along!"
⊙▽⊙
Naruto was shocked! No, wait. What is Sasuke talking nonsense about? The truth is completely different. It was him who started it!
"Yeah, Teacher Gai, you'd better take good care of Lee. We can't stop him from doing what he wants!"
(⊙o⊙)
"What? Neji?"
The two were completely confused. These two irresponsible brats are shifting all the blame onto us.
"Give it up, Lee. You've been caught red-handed by Teacher Gai. No matter how you try to defend yourself, it's useless!"
"Naruto, you should sincerely apologize to the examiners and teachers. Don't do such willful things in public again in the future!"
!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
These two guys are so heartless! They were the ones who started it, but now they're trying to clear themselves of the blame. But there's nothing I can do. Since the teacher caught them red - handed, they're really in a situation where they can't clear themselves of the blame no matter what they do.
"Naruto! We'll settle this score after your exam. Now, hurry up and go to the exam room!!!"
??o·(? ??????????? )?o·?
..................
"Naruto, how did you feel after fighting with Rock Lee?"
"He's really powerful!"
"Yeah, it was obvious that he had the upper hand throughout the fight! If this were a competition, you'd have been knocked out the moment you faced him!"
