Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan, taking over Team 7

But he hated Gaara even more because Gaara had dared to ignore him before!

We have to get our revenge!

Sakura Haruno gripped the railing, observing the match below, and said, "Gaara easily defended against all of Rock Lee's attacks. If this continues, Rock Lee will lose."

With his hands in his pockets and his back against the wall, Uchiha Sasuke coldly said, "It doesn't matter who wins or loses. In the finals, I will tell everyone that I am the strongest genin of this year."

He can now use summoning and Chidori perfectly, and with the insight of his two-tomoe Sharingan, he is almost invincible among genin.

Therefore, he is very confident.

The only thing worth paying attention to is... Naruto and Sakura!

Sasuke Uchiha's face darkened as he coldly stared at Naruto and Sakura's retreating figures. He never imagined that these two idiots would be so strong!

Sakura Haruno, in particular, had a very strong punch that instantly killed the Copper Armored Man. Even he couldn't defend against it, and might even have been defeated by it.

damn it!

I will prove to Teacher Cangyue that I am the strongest in Class 7!

"Lee is a hard-working genius, he will prove his ninja way." Might Guy walked to Team 7's side, put his hands on his hips, and watched the match below.

Rock Lee was his most beloved student, and he passed on everything to him. While Rock Lee was striving to become stronger, he was also working hard to help Rock Lee realize his dreams.

"But Rock Lee lost to Gaara of Sunagakure in the second exam." Sakura Haruno recalled the second exam, when her Team 7 fought Gaara again, and then Rock Lee forcibly intervened in the match, causing Gaara and the others to retreat at the cost of a crushing defeat.

Might Guy gave a thumbs up, his white teeth flashing, and said in a cheerful and resolute voice, "The lotus of Konoha will bloom again. Rock Lee has failed countless times, but failure will only make him more determined. That's youth!"

The members of Class 7 were slightly taken aback. They always felt a strange chill when they saw Might Guy and Rock Lee.

This chilling feeling might be because of... the abstract attire of the master and apprentice with their thick eyebrows.

But what Teacher Kai said was something Rock Lee had also said before.

Hyuga Sogetsu said calmly, "That brat with the thick eyebrows will lose."

Gaara's current strength is at least at the Jonin level, and even stronger than many Jonin. If he uses the chakra of the One-Tailed Shukaku, he should be able to reach the level of an elite Jonin, right?

Their strength is quite considerable.

Most importantly, he will force Gaara to go berserk and unleash the tailed beast form of Shukaku, making it certain that the thick-browed brat will be defeated no matter what.

He's currently taking a spectator's approach, not immediately pushing Gaara to go berserk, allowing Rock Lee to continue enjoying the match. Even if he's curious to see the Eight Gates Formation, this is already a form of mercy.

Sorry, it's all for the Zanpakuto!

He desperately wanted a Zanpakuto, especially Ryujin Jakka. Just thinking about shouting "Bankai" while fighting an enemy was exhilarating.

Might Guy didn't refute Cang Yue's words. Instead, he looked at Rock Lee in the arena below, gave him a thumbs up, and shouted, "Lee, now is the time for you to uphold your ninja way. Show your full strength and prove yourself!"

This statement came out.

Rock Lee stopped attacking Gaara, turned his head to look at Might Guy on the second-floor observation deck, and a hint of happiness appeared in his eyes.

"Teacher Kai, does that mean..."

“Take it off.” Matt Kai nodded slightly.

"What are you taking off?"

The three members of Class 7 were puzzled, and many others present were also slightly confused, looking at Rock Lee with strange eyes.

Take it off?

What to take off?

Hinata Sogetsu said casually, "Women's underwear, I suppose."

"Huh? Really!" Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno were shocked. They never expected that Rock Lee would have this kind of hobby.

"How could that be? Cang Yue is just teasing you." Yuhi Kurenai covered her mouth and chuckled, her smile elegant and mature, without the girlish attitude she had when she was fooling around with Cang Yue.

With everyone's attention focused on him, Rock Lee suddenly leaped backward, his body tumbling several times in the air before landing on the fingers of the large stone statue.

"Teacher Kai, this is wonderful." Rock Lee sat cross-legged and happily untied the weights strapped to his calves.

Everyone in the audience looked on in confusion as Rock Lee, who was beaming with joy and excitement after the iron weights on his legs were removed, stared in disbelief.

Is it really necessary to be so happy and excited about just unloading two weights?

Kankuro looked at Rock Lee's pretentious behavior with disdain and said with a sneer, "Playing tricks."

"Phew, that feels so good." Rock Lee felt the lightness in his legs and threw the two iron weights downwards.

With a "bang," the two heavy iron objects landed, creating two small craters in the ground. Thick wisps of gray smoke rose from the ground and billowed across the entire area.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, staring at the two weighted tracks in the small pit. Many of the Jonin in charge were stunned.

This weight... is outrageous!

In other words, Rock Lee was carrying such an outrageously heavy load while fighting Gaara of the Sand Village?

"Wearing such heavy iron weights, yet still able to move around so easily, this genin named Rock Lee is quite skilled." Mei Terumi smiled, watching the match below with slight interest, and muttered to herself.

Is it that this generation of genin is particularly strong, or... that Konoha's genin have always been strong?

Whether it's Team 7, Gaara, or Rock Lee, these genin are far stronger than the genin of Kirigakure!

Before the Blood Mist Village turmoil, the average strength of the Kirigakure genin was very strong because they were all bloodline limit ninjas. However, after the Blood Mist Village turmoil, the Kirigakure genin's combat strength declined.

It should be said that there is a gap in combat power.

In Kirigakure, the strong are very strong, and the weak are extremely weak. After all, the Blood Mist Village swept away countless bloodline limit ninjas, which resulted in Kirigakure currently having no ninjas of intermediate level.

Even so, Kirigakure's current overall strength ranks fourth among all ninja villages in the entire ninja world!

Mei Terumi knew very well that Sunagakure was the real gap between generations, with very few ninjas in the village who could be considered capable.

It was only by relying on the Kazekage's bloodline limit and the intimidating power of the One-Tailed Shukaku that they were able to squeeze into the ranks of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

At this moment, the battlefield.

"Konoha Whirlwind." Rock Lee leaped from the stone statue's finger and landed on the ground. Before he even hit the ground, he vanished into thin air, his speed as fast as lightning.

"Wong!" Rock Lee instantly appeared in front of Gaara, raising his leg to kick Gaara's chin hard. The sand's defensive speed was no longer able to keep up with his current speed.

"It's very fast." Gaara was kicked into the sky, looking indifferently at Rock Lee below, completely unconcerned about being kicked away.

Could Rock Lee increase his speed so much simply by removing the weights?

“Shadow Dance Leaf.” Rock Lee’s arms trembled slightly, and the bandages wrapped around his arms came off.

The Eight Gates Formation, the first gate—Open!

Rock Lee's speed increased even further, and he instantly appeared in front of Gaara, raising his leg to kick Gaara hard in the abdomen.

Gaara flew towards a higher sky, but because the sand in the gourd was very heavy, his speed was very slow.

"Bang bang bang!" Rock Lee chased after Gaara in the sky, attacking him fiercely with his fists and feet. Each attack sent Gaara flying even higher.

"Lotus!" Rock Lee hugged Gaara, white bandages wrapped around him like snakes, then he spun him around and slammed him onto the arena.

With a loud thud, the two crashed heavily to the ground, creating a small crater. Thick ash covered the crater, and rocks flew around in the strong wind.

Rock Lee jumped out of the pit and landed on the ground next to it.

With one hand on his hip and his arm around Hyuga Sogetsu's shoulder, Might Guy said cheerfully, "Sogetsu, after seeing this move, do you still think Rock Lee will lose?"

"You'll lose." Hyuga Sogetsu deliberately feigned disgust, moving away Might Guy's rough hand and saying indifferently, "You stinky man, can you please not touch me? Every inch of my skin is a treasure to beautiful women."

No matter how hard Anthony Davis tries, this game is a guaranteed loss.

Hard work can help you catch up with geniuses, but it can't help you surpass those who are already talented.

"Little Lee will win," Matt Kai said seriously. "He will prove the value of hard work."

Hyuga Sogetsu replied dismissively, "Don't worry, we'll lose."

"We'll win," Matt Kay said.

Hyuga Sogetsu chuckled, "Defeat is inevitable."

Matt Kay firmly stated, "Hard work pays off, and Lee is a genius at hard work!"

Cang Yue is such a stubborn kid!

Hinata Sogetsu repeated, "We will lose."

"Naive." Kurenai's lips twitched slightly.

People say watermelon... oops, I almost blurted it out.

It's all Cang Yue's fault!

After Might Guy worked hard to train Rock Lee, he firmly believed that Rock Lee could realize his dream, and Rock Lee was also doing his best for it.

In this situation, we should say a few kind words, even if it's just perfunctory, we should at least offer some words of encouragement.

But Cangyue remained there, stubbornly spreading negative energy!

Cang Yue is just a kid, how childish.

But... the stubborn Cangyue is also kind of cute.

at this time.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, they stared blankly into the pit.

Gaara slowly climbed out of the crater, his skin cracked inch by inch. As the cracks widened, they turned into sand and rolled away, eventually repairing all the cracks on his skin.

Hinata Sogetsu pointed his thumb at Gaara in the crater, deliberately adopting a smug attitude, and said, "See? He's completely unharmed."

Might Guy said cheerfully, "Lee hasn't shown his full strength yet. Bumps and bruises are part of youth!"

"..." Kurenai was speechless. Sougetsu was deliberately trying to provoke Might Guy, but Might Guy wasn't angry at all. He even smiled and talked with a good attitude.

That mindset is quite impressive.

"Not a single one of them was injured!" Rock Lee frowned slightly as he looked at Gaara, who remained calm in the crater. The technique Gaara had just used was his full power after opening the first gate.

Even with all his strength, he couldn't hurt Gaara.

Is this the power of a genius?

"You're weak." Gaara emerged from the pit, indifferently surveying Rock Lee in the distance.

The fact that the mother didn't react at all shows that Lee Rock's blood is not worth tasting.

Chapter 77 The Eight Gates Formation: A Battle Where Faith Is Threatened!

"I am indeed very weak." Rock Lee neither denied it nor made any self-deprecating remarks; he was indeed a very weak ninja.

He was born weaker than many people, a born useless piece of trash. To become a ninja, chakra is the most important power, and only chakra can surpass everything.

However, he was unable to use chakra, nor could he use ninjutsu or genjutsu. Even when he was in the ninja academy, his taijutsu was much worse than others.

But he never gave up.

Since he was weaker than others, he worked twice as hard. If he was still weak after working hard, he worked even harder. Even if he was ridiculed by everyone, even if the cultivation was difficult and arduous, he could still grit his teeth and get through it!

Because becoming a ninja was his dream!

Strong people can be divided into genius type and hard-working type, and he is the most diligent hard-working type!

"It's true that I'm weak and have no talent. When I was in the Ninja Academy, my classmates called me the hot-blooded loser. Although I was constantly ridiculed and never graduated, I kept practicing taijutsu."

"Then... the day I met Guy-sensei, I was finally able to become a genin!"

Rock Lee's eyes were filled with determination as he looked at Matt Kay, who was standing on the second-floor observation deck.

"This guy... never had the chance to be a ninja before?"

The entire Team 7 was stunned. They stared at Rock Lee in disbelief. The strength Rock Lee had just displayed had completely surpassed the level of a genin.

So they found it hard to believe that someone as skilled as Rock Lee could not pass the Ninja Academy exam.

Might Guy, with a serious expression, gave a thumbs-up and said, "Go ahead, I allow you to use that move. Now is the moment for you to surpass genius!"

"Gaara, is there something you would do to prove even if it meant sacrificing your life?" Rock Lee clenched his fists, veins popping on his forehead, his skin turning dark red, and his whole body radiating hot blue steam.

"I want to prove that even without ninjutsu or genjutsu, one can still become an excellent ninja. This is my whole life, this is my ninja way!"

"The third gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of Life—Open!" Rock Lee's pupils turned pale white, and scorching blue steam formed a fierce gust of wind around him, blowing away the stones on the surrounding ground.

"Eight Gate Dunjia!"

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. The Jonin in charge of the group looked grim, and everyone glared at Might Guy with reproach. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned at this moment.
