“I won’t try to persuade him. This is the path he chose himself. Any sadness or tears are an insult to a man who has come to his senses.”

"But, Xiao Li has already..."

"Trust him."

Hearing Neji's words, Lee grinned and said, "Neji, thank you."

Might Guy patted Neji's shoulder hard: "Neji, I never imagined you had such a profound understanding of youth."

Neji did not want to say anything about this.

"But are we just going to watch Lee get beaten up like this?" Sakura asked.

“No, it’s about time Lee used that move too,” Neji said.

"That move?!"

"Does Xiao Li have another trump card up his sleeve?"

Might Guy couldn't help but glance at Neji, surprised that he and Rock Lee were so close, that he had even told him about the Eight Gates.

Xiao Li pulled a kunai from his pocket and swung it repeatedly, cutting through the sand.

"Is that all you've got? That's pathetic," Gaara said.

Xiao Li flipped over and jumped to a distance, shouting, "Teacher Kai, please forgive my willfulness this time."

"The weak can surpass geniuses through hard work. That's why I trained in taijutsu. This is my way of the ninja."

Lee crossed his arms, veins bulging on his forehead, and chakra flowing wildly within him.

Might Guy hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Go, Lee, let your youth shine."

"Yes, Teacher Kai," Xiao Li said through gritted teeth.

In the stands, no one understood what he meant.

"Neji, what are they saying?"

Neji stepped forward, looked at Rock Lee below who was constantly gathering power, and said, "Eight Gates."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Kakashi lifted his headband without hesitation.

"Kai, you bastard... he's still a child, make him stop!" Kakashi roared.

“It’s no use. Once Xiao Li has made up his mind, even I can’t change it,” Matt Kai said, frowning.

"you……"

Hinata and the others looked at each other, not knowing what they were talking about, only that neither of them seemed very happy.

"Neji-nii, what is the Eight Gates?" Hinata asked.

Neji sighed slightly and said, "The Eight Gates is a technique that releases the body's restrictions on chakra, allowing excess energy within the body to be released."

"After opening all eight gates, the user's power can even exceed that of the Hokage by dozens of times, but this is only temporary. After opening all eight gates, the user will die."

Chapter 36 This level of strength and he's still only a genin?!

"What?!" Everyone was shocked.

No one expected that Xiao Li would possess such a suicidal move.

"what……"

Lee suddenly shouted, and his chakra flowed visibly, enveloping his entire body.

Gaara instinctively sensed danger, and with a wave of his hand, a huge sand palm descended upon Lee.

At the same time, Kakashi's Sharingan was rapidly probing Rock Lee's chakra.

"Open the door, close the door..." Kakashi was increasingly shocked as he looked.

"The Third Gate of Life, open!"

In an instant, Lee's skin turned bright red, his hair stood on end, and even his voice became incredibly deep. Centered on him, the surrounding air currents swirled violently, and in just a moment, the air pressure alone shattered Gaara's attack.

"Impossible!" Gaara exclaimed in shock.

However, this was not the end; Xiao Li was still gathering strength.

"Fourth Injury Gate, open!"

At that moment, the spot where Xiao Li was standing exploded.

Almost instantly, Lee kicked Gaara into the air, the powerful gust of wind making it impossible for the others to open their eyes.

"How is this possible?! The sand can't react?!" Kankuro exclaimed in shock.

"Too fast! Gaara, it's like he's flying through the air!" Naruto exclaimed.

At this moment, even Neji had no choice but to activate his Byakugan, but even so, he could only see a fleeting afterimage.

The Eight Gates Formation was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

That's the purest Byakugan he has, and his strength has reached the level of an elite Jonin. You can imagine that if it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to see it at all.

"That's incredible! Even if you cultivate day and night without stopping, you shouldn't be able to reach this level. He really is a genius!"

Kakashi clutched his left eye, utterly astonished. His vision was even worse than Neji's; he could only see a faint outline.

After all, this wasn't his own Sharingan.

boom! boom! boom!

Gaara was in mid-air and had no chance to defend himself; the speed of the sand was no match for Lee's speed.

Lee moved as if teleporting, constantly striking Gaara in mid-air, peeling away Gaara's sand armor one after another.

“This guy… he actually…” Gaara was shocked, but there was nothing he could do.

“No, Gaara is powerless to resist. The speed of the sand can't keep up with that guy at all,” Temari said.

At this moment, not only Neji and the others were shocked, but even the Third Hokage and Orochimaru stood up abruptly.

Even if they are Kage-level powerhouses, without the Byakugan and Sharingan, they still wouldn't be able to see Lee's shadow.

"This... this level of strength, and he's still a genin?!" Orochimaru blurted out instinctively, his voice filled with self-doubt.

This person is even more powerful than him.

Then look at Neji, a genin from Konoha, has his strength reached this level?

"This is only the fourth gate..." Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise.

"Gaara, you are the first person to force me to use the Eight Gates. Well then, let me show you this move. This move was originally prepared for Neji."

Lee kicked Gaara in the stomach and then plummeted towards him.

"It's no use, I can't defend anymore." Gaara looked at Lee, who was so close to him, and for the first time, fear gripped his heart.

boom!

Lee shattered Gaara's sand armor with a single blow, and just as Gaara was falling, Lee grabbed Gaara's ribbon.

"Neji, watch closely. This move was originally prepared to defeat you."

"However, it's the same as showing you now."

Lee shouted loudly, but his eyes remained fixed on Gaara. Gaara's insight was too strong; he had to be vigilant at all times.

Kakashi's Sharingan eyes widened in fury, cold sweat pouring down his face: "The muscles are torn."

"The next blow, which will be the final blow," Neji murmured.

"Huh? Neji, what are you talking about? Lee already has the upper hand." Naruto asked, scratching his head.

“Even without opening all eight gates, that kind of burden is not something an ordinary person can endure. Lee, he's almost at his limit,” Might Guy said.

"That's right!" Kakashi immediately turned to Might Guy and asked, "Guy, how many gates can Lee open now?"

"Five gates".

"Five Gates?!" Kakashi exclaimed in shock. "Do you want him dead?!"

Matt Kai remained silent.

"Gaara, this is the final blow!" Lee roared.

"No, it won't work. The Sand Armor can't withstand an attack of this magnitude at all," Temari said anxiously.

Kankuro was even more shocked: "This, is this something a human could do?!"

Just then, an even more powerful aura erupted from Xiao Li, and the scalding heat forced everyone to retreat hastily.

"Fifth Gate of Du, open!"

boom!

In an instant, Lee's powerful punch landed on Gaara.

"Li Lianhua!"

boom!

Xiao Li shouted, and his powerful punch pierced through Gaara, creating a huge crater in the examination hall.

Then Gaara fell from mid-air, causing the ground to tremble three times once more.

The terrifying destructive power sent a chill down everyone's spine, filling them with dread.

"Still not working?" Neji frowned. Although he had expected it, he still found it hard to accept when it actually happened.

He couldn't help but think of his past life; Xiao Li and he, strictly speaking, belonged to the same category of people.

"We lost."

"Yes, after taking such a heavy attack, Gaara is definitely going to lose," Naruto said with a beaming smile.

"I'm talking about Xiao Li, he lost."

"Hmm?" Everyone turned to look at him.

“Neji is right, Lee lost,” Might Guy said gravely.

Everyone's eyes widened: "What...but..."
