"Great!"

Taiwan Novel Website→𝑡𝑤𝑘𝑎𝑛.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Seeing that his opponent was Izayoi, Rock Lee couldn't help but clench his fist and shout, his expression excited.

He had wanted to challenge Izayoi before, but Sasuke Uchiha had stopped him.

Having witnessed Sasuke Uchiha's strength and his attitude towards Izayoi, Rock Lee was even more determined to challenge Izayoi.

Now his wish had finally come true.

"Li, go and bloom with your youth!" Might Guy patted Rock Lee's shoulder and grinned.

"Yes, Teacher Guy!"

Rock Lee stood at attention and responded, then grinned as well, a white light flashing.

Feeling the strange gazes around her, Tenten couldn't help but cover her face, too embarrassing.

Neji Hyuga, on the other hand, was expressionless, saying calmly, "Li, your opponent is not simple, his Chakra is very astonishing, and he is also a companion of Lady Hinata, be careful."

"I know."

Rock Lee nodded with a serious face, then stepped on the railing, jumped down, and landed with a somersault.

Seeing that he was matched with Rock Lee, Izayoi was also slightly surprised.

The later rounds of the duel were the same as in the original work, Izayoi thought that Rock Lee would still face Gaara, and he might be matched with Akado Yoroi and Shino Aburame, or become a lucky one to get a bye.

But unexpectedly, he actually faced Rock Lee.

Thinking of the divine skill of the Eight Gates Formation, Izayoi was also interested.

Just as Izayoi was about to jump down, Hinata's voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Izayoi-kun, give me the camera."

"Okay."

Taking the camera handed over by Izayoi, Hinata clenched her pink fist and said, "Ganbatte!"

"Watch my performance!"

Izayoi smiled confidently, and then as if thinking of something, suddenly retracted his foot on the railing, leaned close to Hinata's ear, and whispered, "If I win, remember to give me a reward when we get back."

After saying that, Izayoi disappeared in a flash, appearing in the hall.

Looking at Kurenai Yuhi's playful smile, Hinata's small face flushed red, then she raised the camera, blocking her face, while looking for the best position for light and shadow.

"Izayoi, please give me your guidance!"

In the hall, Rock Lee struck a starting pose towards Izayoi, his expression serious, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Before we start fighting, take off your weights first." Izayoi reminded, "Although this is just a battle between ninja from the same village, I will not show mercy to my enemies during the battle. If you continue to be arrogant, then don't look unwilling when you are instantly killed later."

"So amazing, you actually saw it at a glance." Rock Lee looked at Izayoi with a surprised expression, his fighting spirit even stronger.

But thinking of the agreement with Teacher Guy, he still hesitated.

"Li, take them off!"

At that moment, Might Guy's voice entered his ears.

Might Guy gave Rock Lee a thumbs up and said with a smile, "This is an opponent worth going all out for. I allow you to take them off."

"Yes, Teacher Guy!" Rock Lee was instantly moved to tears, then sat down excitedly and began to remove the weights from his legs.

"What? That thick-browed guy is actually wearing weights!"

On the Seventh Squad side, Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno were dumbfounded.

Sasuke Uchiha said disdainfully, "Just a few pieces of iron."

But the next second, his pupils shrank.

Boom—

Two loud noises overlapped and exploded.

A thick cloud of dust rose in a corner of the hall.

When the dust dissipated, the ground where the two pieces of iron had been was actually sunken, and a large number of cracks appeared around it.

Seeing this scene, all the examinees were stunned.

"This guy..."

Sasuke Uchiha grabbed the railing hard, his heart greatly impacted.

Wearing such heavy things, this guy's speed can actually be so fast that he needs to use Lightning Release Chakra Stimulation Cells.

What is his real speed?

Even many Jonin were surprised.

"That Guy, is too reckless!"

Kakashi Hatake and Asuma Sarutobi twitched the corners of their eyes and mouths, speechless.

Kurenai Yuhi, who didn't know Izayoi's true strength, said with a solemn expression, "Izayoi has met his match this time."

Shino Aburame took his hands out of his pockets, grabbed the railing, and his eyes under his sunglasses stared at the unchanged Izayoi, full of expectation.

Finally, he could see the true strength of this Top Student who had been his classmate for six years.

"This kid, could it be that he has also mastered that ultimate technique?"

Looking at Rock Lee, who had removed his weights and was jumping in place, Orochimaru, who had not left, was also full of interest in this battle.

"It's been a long time since I've felt so relaxed."

After warming up, Rock Lee once again made a starting gesture towards Izayoi and said, "Izayoi, this is my strongest state, let's have a showdown!"

Izayoi smiled and raised his index and middle fingers: "Come on, please advise."

"Please advise!"

Rock Lee's starting gesture also turned into the Seal of Confrontation.

Seeing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi on the platform couldn't help but smile with relief.

As if sensing the aura of the two, Hayate Gekko's expression also became serious. He held the clipboard in one hand and raised the other high, shouting loudly, "Tenth match, Izayoi VS Rock Lee... officially begins!"

With a heavy swing of his arm, Hayate Gekko instantly moved to the second-floor platform, leaving the entire hall to Izayoi and Rock Lee, fearing that he would hinder their performance.

Hayate Gekko's speed was fast, but Rock Lee's speed was even faster.

Before Hayate Gekko even appeared on the second-floor platform, Rock Lee's figure disappeared, appearing out of nowhere to the left of Izayoi, launching a low kick.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

The speed was so fast that all the examinees, including Gaara, and even some specially appointed Jonin, didn't react.

However, Izayoi was the real speedster.

Almost the moment Rock Lee appeared on the left, Izayoi turned his head and gently blew a breath towards the incoming kick.

Whoosh...

The wind howled, and the distorted airflow not only blocked Rock Lee's kick but also blew his body away.

It was the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough that Naruto Uzumaki had used before!

"Single-handed seal? Such a fast technique speed!"

Some knowledgeable Jonin's expressions changed slightly.

In the eyes of the examinees and Jonin, Izayoi stood still, his hands hidden in his wide sleeves, then predicted Rock Lee's position in advance, turned his head, and spat out a stream of air, which grew into an invisible giant hand, grabbing Rock Lee and throwing him towards the wall.

At this time, Hayate Gekko had just appeared on the second-floor platform.

From the examiner leaving the arena to Rock Lee's attack and then to Rock Lee being blown away, the whole process took less than three seconds.

It was these less than three seconds that made most of the examinees see the gap between themselves, Rock Lee, and Izayoi.

Sasuke Uchiha came back to his senses and activated his Sharingan immediately.

Even Kakashi Hatake pulled up his Forehead Protector, revealing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his left eye, staring at Izayoi and Rock Lee below.

He had a premonition that these two young men would present a wonderful battle to everyone!
