35: Chapter 35 Rock Lee! Use your full power!"?"
Naruto's pupils contracted; his reaction was incredibly fast!
Whoosh!
All the Vajra Chains, like startled venomous snakes, instantly retracted, coiling and dancing around Naruto's body to form a defensive circle.
He looked warily at the green figure that had landed—Rock Lee!
At the same time, his gaze swept over Tiantian, who was standing still, but whose hand had already quietly pressed on the huge scroll behind her.
"Hello!"
Naruto's eyes turned cold, and he quickly formed hand seals in front of his chest."What are you doing?If you can't accept defeat, you have to rely on numbers?"
Want to gang up on me?
"Alright!Let me show you what it means to have the numbers bully the few!"
With the Ren Seal complete, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is poised to be unleashed!
However, after landing, Lee did not attack immediately, nor did he look at Neji behind him, who was almost exhausted and kneeling on one knee, panting.
He stood ramrod straight, his eyes beneath thick eyebrows burning with fierce fighting spirit, fixed intently on Naruto.
He raised his right hand, pointed at Naruto, and spoke in a loud and passionate voice:
"No!Lord Naruto Uzumaki!" he addressed Naruto solemnly.
"You won the battle against Neji!We acknowledge that!"
He abruptly changed the subject, his eyes burning even more intensely, as if flames were raging within them: "But!Next—"
Xiao Li suddenly yanked the collar of his green bodysuit, revealing a glint of white light in his teeth, and a powerful aura began to rise from his body!
"I am Rock Lee, and I want to have a battle of youth with you!I'll stake my ninja way on it!"
Xiao Li did not launch an attack immediately.
He first approached Naruto and bowed deeply, his movements precise and full of respect.
Then, he suddenly straightened up, his expression extremely serious, his eyes burning like torches, and formed a standard opposition hand seal towards Naruto!
"Konoha Genin, Rock Lee!"
His voice was loud and clear, like the beating of war drums, issuing the most sincere challenge of youth: "Please enlighten me, sir!"
Naruto did not respond immediately.
He turned to look at the sidelines—Hinata's face was flushed with pride from his victory, her eyes sparkling with admiration and relief;
Tenten stood obediently in place, her face still showing shock at Neji's defeat, but even more so, curiosity about the upcoming battle;
Further away, Hyuga Neji wore a dejected expression, as if he had silently accepted his defeat.
He silently walked to Kiba Inuzuka, who was lying on the ground, and with a heavy heart, he grabbed one of Kiba's legs and dragged him to the edge of the training field with slightly unsteady steps.His back view exuded an indescribable loneliness.
Seeing Neji's dejected appearance and feeling the pure fighting spirit burning in Lee's eyes, Naruto grinned with excitement, and his eyes also blazed with intense flames!
With a thought, the dozen or so dazzling Vajra chains behind him, like golden dragons returning to their nest, instantly retracted into his body and disappeared.
"OK!"
Naruto also formed the opposing hand seals, his voice filled with anticipation and high fighting spirit, "It's been so long since I've had a good, satisfying battle!"
Whether it's Naruto, who originally advocated straightforwardness, or Naruto after combining Luffy's visceral fighting style with Ichigo's head-on confrontation fighting philosophy, they both have a deep-seated desire for pure power clashes and exhilarating close-quarters combat!
Previous battles—whether it was Mizuki, who was knocked down by his single blow, Ebisu, who ran into the muzzle of the Kongo-sealed experimental gun, or Neji, who was perfectly countered by the chains—none of them satisfied this deep-seated fighting spirit!
At this moment, Xiao Li's powerful and youthful challenge was like a spark that completely ignited the boiling passion in his heart!
"Let's go!"
Naruto let out a low roar, bent his legs slightly, and was about to charge at Lee like a cannonball!
"Hold on!"
Lee suddenly stretched out his arm and stopped Naruto's actions.
Under Naruto's questioning gaze, Lee revealed a knowing smile: "With the strength you've displayed, it would be extremely impolite and an underestimation of you if I continued to wear these 'shackles'!"
As he spoke, he bent down nimbly and untied the seemingly ordinary black weight straps from his wrists and ankles.
"drink!"
Xiao Li gave a low shout and threw the four heavy weighted belts violently onto the open space next to him!
Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
The four weighted belts slammed into the ground with a dull thud, like boulders hitting the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!
The ground was even dented!
"hiss--!"
Tian Tian gasped in shock, "Little Li.Little Li was actually fighting while wearing this kind of weight?"
Her eyes were filled with shock as she looked at Xiao Li.
Even Neji, who was dragging his teeth, paused slightly, glancing at the weight belt that was deeply embedded in the ground with a complicated expression.
Li, relieved of his heavy burden, seemed to have broken free of invisible shackles!
He lightly jumped twice on the spot, his body making a slight cracking sound, and his whole person exuded a completely different, sharper and faster aura!
"call..."
He let out a long breath, his face beaming with pure battle joy, assumed the starting stance of the Konoha Steel Fist Style, and waved vigorously at Naruto: "Come on!Naruto-sama!This is—youth!"
"Weight belts."
Naruto stared at the deep crater he had created, then looked at the seemingly rejuvenated Rock Lee before him.His pupils contracted slightly, and then an even more fervent fighting spirit surged into his heart!
"Although I don't quite understand what you mean by 'youth'."
Naruto grinned, his muscles tensed, and his right arm stretched back like a fully drawn bowstring, the skin and muscles of his arm showing a strange elastic stretch!
"But right now, I'm—getting really excited!"
Rubber—a pistol!
Bang!
The air seemed to be compressed and then exploded!
Naruto's right arm stretched to an incredible length in an instant, like an arrow released from a bow!
The clenched fist, with its sharp, tearing whistle and immense force, was like a battering ram.It slammed down right on Xiao Li's face!
"So fast!"
Xiao Li raised a thick eyebrow, his eyes flashing with a sharp light!
Faced with this bizarre punch that defied logic and possessed tremendous power, he dared not be careless in the slightest!
"Konoha Steel Fist Style: Spinning Steel Break!"
Lee's body spun like a whirlwind, and his right leg, like a steel whip, whistled through the air with deadly precision as he delivered a side kick to Naruto's incoming rubber fist!
Bang!
A dull thud!
Xiao Li felt as if his leg had kicked a huge, elastic rubber tire!
The immense force jolted him slightly, and the sensation from that fist—tough, elastic, and completely unlike flesh and blood—made him shudder!
'Something's not right!This feeling.it's so strange!'
Xiao Li instantly realized, 'This battle will probably be even more difficult than I imagined!'
really!
Naruto's fist, which had been kicked, only paused slightly before retracting like lightning with a whooshing sound, as if nothing had happened!
