Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

"Yes!"

After responding, Xiao Li jumped off the sculpture and disappeared instantly.

Almost at the same time, a patch of sand suddenly appeared in front of Gaara, having been shattered.

"what?!"

Gaara was taken aback, and a hint of emotion finally appeared on his stiff, zombie-like face.

He thought of Neji again, the first person to break through his defenses, and now, that speed had been replicated in another person.

"This speed is exactly the same as Neji's."

"Are all the members of Team 9 monsters?" Naruto swallowed dramatically.

boom! boom! boom!

The sand was repeatedly shattered, and although Gaara wasn't hit, he couldn't see anyone at all.

Actually, it wasn't just him; most people could only see Gaara looking around, while the sand was full of holes.

"Wow, that was fast," Kakashi exclaimed.

A mere genin, yet he displayed such incredible speed.

speed?

"Wait, Sakura, Naruto, what did you just say?" Kakashi suddenly realized.

They just seemed to be saying that Neji also has that kind of speed.

"We say that his speed is basically the same as Neji's."

"Yeah, I hate to admit it, but that guy is really good. He broke through all that sand with one punch," Naruto said loudly.

Neji broke through Gaara's defenses.

Everyone immediately turned to look at Neji, especially Hinata.

Even she didn't know that her Neji brother had such a record.

"Neji, can you really reach Lee's speed?" Might Guy asked in surprise.

"what."

Actually, Neji could have been faster, but given the current situation, it's better to keep a low profile.

Upon receiving Neji's reply, Might Guy burst into tears, finally able to put his powerful fist technique to good use.

He has made up his mind that he will definitely intensify Neji's training in the future; this is what youth is all about.

Below, Gaara could only stand there dumbfounded, unable to attack Rock Lee at all.

Xiao Li was moving too fast; he couldn't see him at all.

"Wow, that's amazing!" the other cockroaches exclaimed in surprise.

Might Guy glanced at them and said proudly, "Lee can't practice ninjutsu and genjutsu, which is why he can focus all his energy on taijutsu training."

"Even relying on physical skills, he is no weaker than anyone else; he is an expert in physical skills."

As if echoing Might Guy, Lee leaped high into the air and landed a kick on Gaara's head.

Suddenly, a deep scratch appeared on Gaara's face.

"what?!"

Gaara's defenses have been breached once again.

Another person surpassed the speed of sand and attacked Gaara. More importantly, Gaara was genuinely injured.

"How is this possible?" Kankuro couldn't believe it. Gaara, who was known as the absolute defender in Sunagakure, was having his defenses broken through repeatedly in Konoha.

"This is amazing! Is this Konoha? The leader of the five villages!" Temari exclaimed in shock.

However, she didn't look at Lee, but stared at Neji. For some reason, she felt that Neji was more powerful.

"Li, go!" Might Guy shouted excitedly.

"Yes, Mr. Kai." Lee smiled and continued running towards Gaara.

Chapter 35 Eight Gates Formation

The next moment, sand suddenly rose from Gaara's left side. Gaara seized the opportunity and was about to attack, but at that moment, Lee's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"I am here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gaara was sent flying backward by Lee's powerful punch.

"Alright, this time it really hit!" Sakura said excitedly, clenching her fist.

"Go for it, Xiao Li!"

"Go on!"

"No, look closely." Neji interrupted the others' encouragement and said calmly.

Everyone looked over and their expressions changed drastically. They saw large patches of sand falling from Gaara's face, making his entire face look shattered.

“That’s sand.”

"They actually covered their entire bodies in sand?!"

"Then Li's attack just now was completely useless?"

The other young heroes exclaimed in surprise, but Neji remained calm.

Although he doesn't believe in fate, given Lee's current strength, he really can't beat Gaara.

"Hey, teacher." Kankuro and Temari looked at Maki with some fear.

Maki was also sweating profusely, but after glancing at the expressionless Feng Ying, he feigned composure and said, "It's nothing, just keep watching."

Little did they know, the Kazekage at that moment was actually Orochimaru in disguise.

Moreover, Orochimaru had no time to pay attention to him; he was currently staring at Neji in shock.

From the beginning until now, everything seems to have been within Neji's expectations, and his calm expression has never changed.

He couldn't help but glance at Hiruzen Sarutobi. He was now starting to suspect that the old man might have known his identity all along and deliberately dug a pit for him to fall into.

That's not impossible!

At that moment, Orochimaru felt as if he were being tortured, sensing that the old man was trying to harm him.

"No, it must just be a coincidence," Orochimaru thought to himself.

At this moment, Lee had already untied the bandages on his hands and kicked Gaara into the air with several consecutive flying kicks.

"Lotus!"

boom!

At this point, a large crater had appeared on the ground of the examination room.

After a few backflips, Xiao Li left the pit and looked at Gaara lying motionless inside. He let out a long sigh of relief.

“We’ve definitely won this time. There’s no way someone can get away unscathed at that height,” Naruto said.

Just when everyone in the arena, even Hayate Gekko, thought Lee had won, Neji let out a deep sigh.

"What a pity, it was just a little short."

"Ok?"

"Neji, do you mean Lee didn't win?" Naruto looked at Neji with a suspicious gaze.

At such a height, it's impossible for him to be unharmed.

However, at that moment, Gaara in the crater suddenly turned into a wisp of sand.

"It was actually... a clone!"

The entire place fell silent instantly, and Xiao Li stared wide-eyed at the pit.

He didn't hesitate to use moves that would cause mutual destruction, but in the end, he only attacked a clone.

At that moment, Gaara walked toward Lee with a gloomy expression, the sand behind him surging, exuding a strong killing intent.

"Continue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gaara manipulated the sand to relentlessly chase after Lee, who, due to the excessive strain on his body from using the Lotus Flower technique, could only frantically dodge.

In the stands, many people watched this scene with great tension.

"What exactly happened?" Shikamaru asked.

"When was Gaara...?"

Everyone turned to Neji, hoping he could offer an explanation.

"When Lee made his flying kick, there was a brief pause," Neji said.

As he spoke, he glanced at Kakashi. Might Guy had just gotten a little carried away with his excitement, but Kakashi was still watching intently, so he must have noticed it too.

In just a split second, Gaara escaped; his reaction speed is simply terrifying.

However, Shikamaru gave Neji a deep look; Neji was no weaker than Gaara.

At the same time, Neji also looked at Shikamaru, thinking, "He's really smart."

“How could this be…” Tian Tian murmured.

Below, Lee kept dodging Gaara's attacks, his life hanging by a thread, making everyone on the edge of their seats.

"Lee, stop fighting!" Naruto shouted.

"Lee, give up. Your body is already..." Shikamaru said with some reluctance.

"Xiao Li, you'll die if you keep going like this!"

After using the Lotus Flower, Xiao Li's body had already endured too much strain, and at this moment he could only endure the beating.

"Neji, you should try to persuade him too," Tenten said anxiously. Although Lee and Neji often fought, they were good friends.

Although she didn't say it, Tenten knew in her heart that Neji cared a lot about his comrades.
