Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

"Now it depends on who can persevere longer. If we're talking about willpower... I'd still side with Xiao Li."

Karin Uzumaki: "Wherever Uncle stands, I'll stand."

After a while, the rate at which shadow clones were generated finally began to decrease.

With a flushed face and glowing green, Lee Locke endured the intense physical strain and persevered through sheer willpower.

beat.

Keep fighting.

Finally, he defeated a shadow clone that wouldn't dissipate.

With a solid, tactile sensation, Naruto Uzumaki flew out in front of me.

Several 'Naruto Uzumaki' shadow clones nearby shattered in response.

Rock Lee pursued almost without hesitation, his fist, bearing some rough marks, about to smash into Naruto Uzumaki.

The latter had no time to resist.

"Rock Lee!" A gasp came from the sidelines. It was Might Guy's voice. Rock Lee's movements suddenly stopped, and he finally snapped out of his fighting state.

The pink rope that had been peeking out from Shenyue Xingyun's hand disappeared on its own.

Rock Lee first looked down to check on Naruto's condition. After confirming that the latter was just lying on the ground with a weak and unwilling expression and was not in any danger, Rock Lee was relieved.

Then, he eagerly looked at the referee beside him.

Ibiki Morino, still holding a senbon in his mouth, was waiting to see what would happen next. Izumo Kamizuki, who was standing to the side, came back to his senses and, looking at Rock Lee's blushing and tired face, announced: "The winner is Rock Lee."

Before he could finish speaking, Rock Lee covered his rear with both hands and disappeared in a flash.

After he left, Naruto Uzumaki struggled to his feet.

He lowered his head and was about to leave.

"Naruto!" A voice called from outside the arena. Naruto looked up and instantly found the location of Shingetsu Nebula—his handsomeness was undeniable.

Shenyue Xingyun: "Well done."

Naruto Uzumaki felt a little better.

"Naruto~" It was Sakura Haruno's voice: "Don't be discouraged."

Naruto's eyes immediately lit up.

Sakura Haruno: "Sasuke will win it back for you!"

Naruto Uzumaki: "..."

After quickly cleaning up the mess on his body, Naruto returned to the stands. As he passed by Shingetsu Seiun, Naruto's eyes were downcast, and he kept his head down.

They are still ashamed of their failure.

Shingetsu Seiun called out to him, "Naruto, cheer up!"

"It's just a Chunin Exam."

"You played very well."

Naruto Uzumaki: "Really? Uncle, are you just trying to comfort me?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Of course it's true."

"Wind-blowing Cutter, Rasengan, and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

"You are one of the best among all the contestants."

Naruto Uzumaki: "We still lost."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Losing is normal."

"You may be excellent, but there will always be someone more excellent than you."

"But you can't deny your own efforts just because you can't compare to others."

"Naruto, you're actually amazing."

Shingetsu Seiun's words finally made Naruto Uzumaki feel much better. He looked up at Shingetsu Seiun and asked, "Uncle, what you said makes so much sense; you must have met people even more outstanding than you, right?"

Chapter 532 Temari V Neji

"Uncle, what you said makes so much sense. You must have met people who are even more outstanding than you, right?" Naruto asked, his mind filled with the image of the young man encountering an even more outstanding genius and persevering to reach the top.

“No, not at all,” said Shenyue Xingyun.

Naruto Uzumaki: "..."

Rejecting Shingetsu Seiun's further attempts to comfort him, Naruto Uzumaki stated that he was already healed.

After walking over to Sasuke and Sakura Haruno and explaining that he was alright, Naruto continued forward and came to Might Guy's side.

"Yo~ Naruto."

"You look very energetic!"

"It seems a small setback hasn't affected your spirit, that's fantastic!"

"Keep practicing diligently, young man, this is youth!"

Naruto Uzumaki: "Hmm."

After waiting a moment beside Might Guy, Rock Lee, now dressed in a new outfit, returned. He paused, surprised to see Naruto: "You...came to see me?"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded: "Let's get to know each other more formally."

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki."

Rock Lee: "My name is Rock Lee, you can also call me Little Lee."

Naruto Uzumaki: "You're amazing."

"I thought I would advance in this joint Chunin Exam, but I didn't expect to lose to you."

"you're good."

"But I will definitely catch up with you!"

Lee Locke nodded.

Naruto Uzumaki frowned at the calm expression.

Why this reaction?

'Isn't that a bit of a show-off?'

"Hey," Naruto Uzumaki said, "Don't get too cocky."

"Although I lost, I will definitely work hard to cultivate. You won't be smug for long."

Lee Rock: "I am not smug."

Naruto Uzumaki: "Huh?"

'You beat me, and you're saying you're not pleased?'

Rock Lee said, "Naruto, your ninjutsu is quite good."

"But you are not my target, so there is nothing to be proud of in beating you."

"My target is not you, but true geniuses."

Naruto Uzumaki: "A true genius?"

"Who?"

Rock Lee said seriously, "Neji, and...Sasuke."

"Sasuke?!" Naruto's voice rose an octave.

Neji knew him; he was an outstanding senior, a year ahead of him, whose reputation as a genius of the Hyuga clan was legendary.

But what makes Sasuke so special?

That arrogant guy who only knows how to pose and show off, how could he possibly…

“It’s Sasuke.” Rock Lee’s serious voice interrupted Naruto’s reverie.

"So far, I have sparred with Sasuke 13 times."

"Never won."

Not even once.

Naruto Uzumaki instinctively asked, "Are you sure?"

"Did it glow green when you hit him?"

"Don't lie to me, I'm very smart."

Looking into Naruto's eyes, Rock Lee hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Smart? I feel about the same as me."

"I didn't lie to you, and I had no reason to lie to you."

As Lee Rock spoke, he recalled scenes from the past few years.

At the Konoha training ground, there was him, Might Guy, Sasuke, and Shingetsu Seiun.

Because of his relationship with Might Guy and Shingetsu Seiun, the latter would bring Sasuke to spar with him every few months.

Shenyue Xingyun had a very high opinion of him, calling him a "hard-working genius," a "very persevering young man," a "promising young man," and an "extremely talented young man." After saying this, he would be beaten by Sasuke.

Physical skills, swordsmanship, ninjutsu, and those eyes… Rock Lee didn’t know how far he needed to train to catch up with someone like that.

Just like Hyuga Neji, it made him feel a little desperate.

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't empathize with him. He simply couldn't reconcile Sasuke, who had been doing missions with him and throwing tantrums, with the monstrous genius that Rock Lee had described.

He was about to say something more when Rock Lee's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked towards the arena.

"Don't speak."

"Neji is on the field!"

In the center of the arena, Hyuga Neji, wearing a headband, slowly walked onto the field.
