Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

It's that kind of feigned indifference.

Extremely slowly, like playing a PowerPoint presentation, they began to unload the weights from their bodies.

Similarly, Sasuke was slowly untying the weights.

He casually tossed it to the ground.

"Boom!" Instantly, the ground of the battle arena cracked, the entire venue shook violently, and dust kept falling from the ceiling, the dust almost obscuring vision, which was enough to show that Konoha's cleaners were not very careful.

Once the dust settled, the ground of the battle arena had been smashed into a large crater, with cracks spreading everywhere, as if it had been ravaged by a B-rank ninjutsu.

Such weight is enough to kill a person.

The stands erupted in cheers.

"Are you kidding me? They've been fighting with weights on all this time?"

"Is there something wrong with my eyes, or is there something wrong with the world?"

With a "whoosh," Rock Lee took off his white robe, threw it forcefully into the air, and frowned, his two neatly trimmed eyebrows furrowing as he shouted, "Come on, Sasuke! Let me see your mettle!" He looked rather dashing at that moment.

"Buzz." Tiny lightning bolts appeared around Sasuke's body.

Facing Rock Lee, he dared not be careless. If he did not use ninjutsu, his taijutsu was far inferior to Rock Lee's.

With a "whoosh," Sasuke had already crossed the distance between himself and Rock Lee, unleashing a punch surrounded by lightning.

"Such speed." Rock Lee's heart skipped a beat as he blocked Sasuke's attack.

But then he heard a continuous hissing sound, and a strong numbing sensation came from his arms, making Lee Locke momentarily sluggish.

Sasuke seized the opportunity and punched Rock Lee in the stomach.

As the sickening sound rang out, Rock Lee's body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into the wall and causing the hall to tremble.

Before the gasps of surprise could even arrive, Rock Lee darted out at an even faster speed, sending Sasuke flying into the air with a single punch.

Sasuke looked shocked and incredulous, his Sharingan, now with two tomoe, swirling wildly.

"How is this possible? Such terrifying speed, my eyes are even starting to strain?"

“However, the eyes can deceive, but the body cannot.” Sasuke’s body crackled with lightning, and his speed suddenly increased several times over, matching Rock Lee’s speed, or even surpassing it.

"Bang bang bang." A series of sonic booms and thunderclaps echoed in the air as two figures flashed across the arena. Each exchange of blows generated a large shockwave that shattered the ground below.

To the genin, the two figures seemed to teleport, constantly appearing in different locations.

During the battle, the two didn't forget to exchange crude and vulgar remarks.

"Not bad, Sasuke, you've improved quickly; you even managed to force me to unload my burdens."

"You're not bad either. Be careful, I'm going to go all out next."

"Hahaha!!! You'd better watch out, my punch can catch up with the speed of sound!"

"Bang!" The two fists collided, and an even more violent gust of wind rose up. Many weak genin even lost their balance and fell to the ground, their faces full of terror.

"Their progress is astonishing." Naruto nodded to himself, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that Uchiha kid's growth to be so amazing. It seems I've been focusing too much on Naruto and neglecting Sasuke." The Third Hokage frowned and thought to himself.

For Konoha, the Uchiha clan's excessive power is not a good sign.

He needs to have all the unknown factors under his control.

The Third Hokage tried to recall the information Kakashi had previously reported regarding Sasuke and began to rethink his plan.

It is imperative to ensure that Sasuke harbors no ill will towards Konoha.

Danzo had returned to the venue at some point and was quietly watching the duel, his eyes filled with amazement.

Surprisingly, besides Sasuke and Naruto, there's also Rock Lee worth paying attention to.

Although Rock Lee is not good at ninjutsu, when his taijutsu is honed to its peak, his keen sixth sense can make up for some of the shortcomings.

Those who lack great perseverance cannot achieve great success in physical skills.

However, those who can master physical techniques to the extreme are definitely not much weaker than those with bloodline limits.

"This Rock Lee is a very good piece; I should learn more about him," Danzo thought to himself as he withdrew his gaze.

Root has always liked to recruit talented people and give frustrated ninjas a platform to perform.

Under the guidance of the Roots, they will eventually become the nourishment, no, the guardians, that supports the growth of Konoha.

At this moment, the battle on the field has reached a fever pitch.

Sasuke and Rock Lee also went from showing off at the beginning to giving it their all later on.

Rock Lee moves with lightning speed, his punches are heavy as a thousand pounds, and the wind generated by each attack can stir up large amounts of gravel on the ground.

His skin even had a faint reddish tinge, which was his appearance in the Eight Gates Formation state.

Sasuke's body was surrounded by lightning. Stimulated by the Lightning Release, the metabolism of all his cells accelerated, and all his attributes were enhanced. Although his strength was not as great as Rock Lee's, his speed was even greater. Moreover, with each attack, the lightning all over his body would cause Rock Lee's body to experience varying degrees of paralysis.

Over time, Rock Lee began to lose ground.

His hair was scorched, and he had varying degrees of numbness all over his body, making him look quite disheveled.

Sasuke wasn't having an easy time either.

While Lightning Release can amplify power, it also consumes a huge amount of energy.

He was drenched in sweat and panting heavily, and he knew in his heart that he would surely lose if the battle dragged on.

"Sasuke, it's over." At this moment, Rock Lee, who was at a disadvantage, chuckled softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from Sasuke's sight with a "whoosh," stepping on the rubble in mid-air and instantly appearing behind Sasuke.

Panting heavily, Sasuke was about to fight back when Rock Lee kicked him into the air.

In his horror, he saw that Rock Lee had already arrived above him, and the bandages wrapped around his hands suddenly came loose.

It swirled around Sasuke's waist in mid-air, creating an upward gust of air like a storm.

The stench of sweat, which hadn't been washed in a long time, made Sasuke's face turn green instantly.

"Riri Lotus!!"

This is a terrifying taijutsu technique performed using the Eight Gates. First, the opponent is kicked away with punches and kicks that are comparable to the speed of sound. Then, bandages are wrapped around the opponent's waist, and a final blow is delivered to cause massive damage.

This move demands a high level of physical skill; a slight mistake can lead to muscle strain.

"What terrifying physical skills are these? I never knew physical skills could reach this level!" The onlookers exclaimed in surprise, and even Gaara was taken aback.

He secretly compared them in his mind.

But then they discovered...

His own sand might not be able to keep up with Lee Locke's speed.

This attack could definitely break through her Sand Armor.

"There are just too many geniuses in Konoha. I'm too weak right now," Gaara thought to himself.

"It's over, Sasuke. This is a technique I originally learned to defeat Naruto. I never expected you to push me to this point. You have every right to be proud." Rock Lee declared proudly amidst the raging wind.

"Defeat Naruto? Could it be that Naruto Uzumaki is even stronger?" The genin were in an uproar.

They looked at Naruto, as if trying to see something on his face.

However, all they saw were gentle smiles.

It was as if nothing could surprise him.

"We have no chance in this Chunin Exams." Their hearts sank, realizing that they were just supporting characters to these other people.

Chapter 115 Be careful, Little Li, don't die!

"Not bad, really not bad." While in mid-air, Zuo Zhu suddenly burst into wild laughter. To everyone's astonishment, the lightning around his body suddenly surged, and soon, his entire body was enveloped in lightning.

"Whoosh." The bandages wrapped around the waist were instantly charred black by the violent lightning.

The entire venue gradually became surrounded by static electricity, and lightning directly pierced through the ceiling, revealing the azure sky.

The next moment, the tranquil sky suddenly changed, with a dark cloud swirling above, brewing a torrent of lightning.

"Boom." Zuo Zhu, who had transformed into lightning, landed with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. Countless static electricity jumped on the ground, making people feel uneasy.

Lee Rock, whose hands were numb from the lightning, stood in horror a short distance away.

The entire venue was constantly flashing with blinding lightning, and the crackling sound echoed throughout.

The ANBU ninjas hurriedly used various defensive ninjutsu to help the other genin withstand the lightning that could strike at any moment.

If these genin were to be severely injured while watching the battle, it would be a disgrace to Konoha.

"It's that move." Gaara, who had been expressionless, finally reacted, his calm eyes showing a hint of emotion.

This move is a ninjutsu that knocks him unconscious and causes Shukaku to go berserk.

Qilin!

Bathed in lightning, Sasuke, like a war god, slowly raised his head.

"In terms of taijutsu, I am not as good as you, but don't forget, what I am best at is... ninjutsu."

"Lightning Release: Kirin".

Zuo Zhu raised his right hand and gestured towards the turbulent thundercloud in the sky. Instantly, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the thunder within the thundercloud continued to spread, forming a Qilin.

"Watch out, Xiao Li, don't die."

The Qilin crashed down.

Locke Lee's expression changed drastically after being locked on, but he could only roar and tough it out.

After years of arduous training, his physical resilience to blows has become nothing short of freakish!

perhaps!

It can withstand the Qilin!

"boom."

A deafening explosion rang out, followed by the crackling sound of electricity. The entire area exploded with a deafening roar, and the dazzling electric light caused the Third Generation and the others to instinctively cover their eyes.
