"Get out of the way!" Gaara obviously ignored the current situation and angrily rushed towards Lee.
Sand continuously gushed out from the gourd on Gaara's back. Suddenly, the sand formed a defensive wall, and it protected Gaara's back.
Sasuke suddenly appeared and threw a kunai at Gaara's back. However, all the kunai were blocked by the sand wall.
Gaara glanced backward. Seeing that Sasuke was sneaking up on him, he said, "Another annoying guy."
Naruto thought that even Sasuke had come, and basically all the top-ranked Genin had gathered here...
"Get out of the way! I'll kill Naruto first and then you all today," Gaara boasted.
"Hinata! Neji!" Naruto called out the names of two people.
At this time, Hinata was fighting with Neji. Neji was constantly shocked. He always thought Hinata was a lost cause. Unexpectedly, after getting Naruto's strange chakra, she could fight him to a draw.
Hearing Naruto's call, Hinata disengaged from the fight with Neji and flashed to Naruto's side.
"Naruto, what are you up to?" Neji asked in confusion.
"Even if there are any grudges between us, it's a matter within Konoha. It's so inconvenient with outsiders around," Naruto said. When he said this, the whole place fell silent.
Only Gaara's face turned gloomy. He had already guessed Naruto's intention.
"How about working together to drive the outsiders away and then having a good fight among ourselves?" Naruto put forward a suggestion.
Suddenly, a sandstorm rose. A large amount of yellow sand twisted and extended in the air, like a ferocious monster.
By this time, Sasuke was already impatient. He was eager to prove his strength and verify the results of his training. So Sasuke urgently needed a strong opponent.
Gaara was the most suitable opponent. Sasuke rushed forward with a kunai in his hand. Facing Gaara, who was standing still, Sasuke directly stabbed at him with the kunai.
Air Sand Protective Wall suddenly emerged, blocking Sasuke's attack. Gaara didn't do anything but just stood there with a cynical look in his eyes.
Sasuke stepped up his attack speed. No matter how he attacked, the sand around Gaara would always automatically form the Air Sand Protective Wall to block all his attacks.
"Damn it," Sasuke said when he found all his attacks were ineffective. He was at a loss for a moment.
Just when Gaara was feeling smug, Lee suddenly rushed in, which shocked Gaara extremely. Lee kicked Gaara right in the head.
When Lee kicked, the sand didn't have time to form the Air Sand Protective Wall. Before the sand could form a defense, he had to hit Gaara with a faster speed.
At this time, Sasuke finally understood that although Gaara's Air Sand Protective Wall was known as the Absolute Defense, it actually had a speed limit. As long as one was faster than the sand, they could hit Gaara.
At this time, Lee moved at high speed, dashing around Gaara at an unimaginable speed. After seizing the opportunity, he launched consecutive attacks.
Gaara was once in a daze. Air Sand Protective Wall didn't have time to form a defensive barrier, and Lee's punches and kicks had already landed on Gaara's body.
Sasuke quickly activated his Sharingan and secretly copied Lee's Taijutsu.
"Lee, take it easy," Naruto suddenly said. "Don't hurt Gaara."
What a joke! Lee got furious. He found that Gaara had a double - layer defense. There was an Air Sand Protective Wall on the outside, and his body was covered with a Sand Cloak Technique.
No matter how hard Lee punched and kicked, he couldn't cause any harm to Gaara because his skin was still covered with an armor made of sand.
There was the Air Sand Protective Wall on the outside and the Sand Cloak Technique on the inside! Gaara had a double - layer defense.
My attacks are ineffective... It seems I have to use the Lotus! Lee made up his mind and started to untie the bandages on his hands.
"Get ready!" Lee exerted all his strength. The Lotus was Lee's special move. Once used, it could defeat the enemy in a continuous flurry of attacks in one breath.
Once the Lotus was unleashed, there would be no chance for the opponent to catch a breath from the start to the end of the move.
Suddenly, Naruto flashed behind Lee and knocked him down with a punch.
"..." Gaara's expression changed slightly.
"..." Neji was greatly shocked.
"..." Sasuke showed a surprised look, but he highly admired Naruto in his heart: "Just as I thought of Naruto. Didn't expect he had this up his sleeve..."
"..." Hinata couldn't believe it.
"This is the ninja world," Naruto said, looking at Lee who had passed out completely. "Get rid of a troublesome guy first!"
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted. "You deal with Gaara. Hinata and I will deal with Neji together."
After getting rid of Lee, Naruto trotted happily to Hinata's side. He quickly comforted and enlightened Hinata. Well, Hinata was too kind - hearted. Seeing Naruto's underhanded move would definitely have an impact on her.
Lee was too simple - minded and naive. He forgot that this was the competition field of the Genin Exams, and almost everyone was in a competitive relationship.
The enemies not only came from other villages, but even those from the same village might stab their own people in the back.
"Naruto... Lee just stood up for you," Hinata said, puzzled.
"This is a hurdle Lee must overcome on his way to growth," Naruto enlightened her. "Hinata, I'd rather let down the whole world than you, but you also have to grow up."
"I'll do my best to turn this ugly world into one that suits you," Naruto said meaningfully. "But before I completely transform the world, I hope nothing in this world can hurt you."
"What...?" Hinata didn't understand.
Naruto simply said, "This ninja world is very dangerous. I'll always stand in front of you to protect you and block all the harm for you."
With just this one sentence, Naruto successfully comforted Hinata. Hinata looked at Lee who was in a coma and cheered for him in her heart: Come on, Lee. I hope you can become as powerful as Naruto...
"Naruto!" Neji roared. Lee was his teammate, and being sneak - attacked by Naruto really made Neji angry.
"Hinata, let's continue," Naruto said with a smile.
"Okay," Hinata nodded sweetly.
Hinata was truly overjoyed. She had never imagined that the battle process could be so sweet.
All along, Hinata's training had been extremely painful. The Hyuga clan had high expectations for her and assigned her heavy training missions. Later, due to her lack of talent, her father sent her to the Ninja Academy, which was like being abandoned by the clan.
This world has not brought Hinata many wonderful memories. Naruto was the only comfort for Hinata's soul.
Fighting side by side with Naruto for the first time, Hinata really enjoyed the whole battle process.
It even made Hinata fall in love with the feeling of battle.
"Ninjutsu! Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto used the Summoning Jutsu again and directly summoned a huge six - meter - tall Frog.
