"What's with that bushy brow?"
"So... such powerful Chakra, what kind of technique is this?!"
"..."
Looking at Rock Lee, who was covered in green energy, surrounded by a blue Chakra aura, with the air around him distorted and rising, and his hair standing on end, all the examinees showed shocked expressions.
Neji Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha, who had activated their Byakugan and Sharingan, respectively, had tremors in their eyes, their hearts greatly impacted.
They hadn't expected Rock Lee to be this strong.
The Jonin's eyes were also filled with horror, sensing a fatal threat from Rock Lee.
"The Eight Gates Formation, I didn't expect this kid to actually master this Forbidden Technique."
Orochimaru, disguised as a Sound Ninja, also began to take Rock Lee seriously, marveling in his heart, "This generation of Konoha is truly full of geniuses!"
Just like the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Eight Gates Formation was also a well-known Forbidden Technique in the Shinobi World.
Others who want to become all-rounder Jonin must master at least two nature transformations, otherwise they are just a Special Jonin.
Only Might Guy, who only knows Taijutsu, has become one of Konoha's trump cards, a Taijutsu Master known throughout the Shinobi World.
Relying on, is the Eight Gates Formation this Forbidden Technique!
To learn the Eight Gates Formation, one must have a body tempered through a thousand trials, capable of withstanding the violent Chakra in the meridians.
Orochimaru had never seen anyone able to open three gates at the age of twelve or thirteen.
But soon, Orochimaru realized that he had underestimated this young man.
Rock Lee, who was exuding a violent aura, clenched his fists and bent over again, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Eight Gates Formation, Fourth Gate Injury Gate... Open!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, the shockwave swept through the entire hall.
The green energy on Rock Lee's body grew even stronger.
"He can even enter the danger zone?"
Orochimaru and Kakashi Hatake both had a glint in their eyes.
The Fourth Gate is the true meaning of the Eight Gates Formation!
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe, staring at Izayoi with a serious expression, wanting to see if Izayoi felt fear now.
Once Izayoi was not confident in facing Rock Lee, he would order someone to stop the duel.
The Eight Gates Formation, this amplification-type Forbidden Technique, is indeed very unfair to others.
At this time, Rock Lee had already adapted to the state of the Four Gates, and assumed a starting stance.
Seeing this, everyone concentrated.
Even Izayoi locked onto Rock Lee with Kagura Mind's Eye.
Crack—*Boom!*
First, there was the crisp sound of the floor cracking, followed by a deafening explosion.
Rock Lee's figure disappeared.
Unlike his previous high-speed movement after removing his weights, which was so fast that it only left an afterimage, Rock Lee this time simply charged forward, shattering the floor, stirring up a huge cloud of dust, and engulfing Izayoi with a wind Release-like airwave.
Such power and speed were simply inhuman.
"So fast!"
Izayoi marveled inwardly, the divine skill was indeed well-deserved.
Although Kagura Mind's Eye could capture his movement trajectory, it was impossible for Izayoi to use Lightning Release Chakra Stimulation Cells to increase his speed to the same level as Rock Lee.
If Rock Lee could only unleash 100% of his physical abilities when he opened the first gate, then now that he had opened the fourth gate, it was 200%, or even higher.
His strength and speed stats had already surpassed Izayoi's.
Therefore, Izayoi raised his hand and clapped, and a gust of wind howled out.
The dust was immediately blown away, but there was no one in front of him.
Rock Lee's figure appeared behind Izayoi once again.
Zzzzzz...
The sound of intersecting electric currents rang out again. Looking at Izayoi, who was surrounded by electric arcs, Rock Lee's body leaned forward slightly, and then a sonic boom cloud appeared between him and Izayoi.
*Boom—*
The shockwave generated by hitting the air engulfed Izayoi through the electric arcs, but there was no scene of him being blown away.
Izayoi's body turned into a cloud of white smoke, and a piece of wood fell to the ground.
Substitution Technique!
Rock Lee looked up and saw Izayoi's Main Body, wrapped in a whirlwind, suspended on the ceiling.
"He won!"
Seeing this scene, Might Guy, who had been making a praying gesture with his hands, cheered instantly.
He was not afraid of anything, except that Izayoi would use his high-speed movement to fight a war of attrition with Rock Lee.
The side effects of the Eight Gates Formation were still too great for Rock Lee, who was still growing, and he could not fight for a long time at all.
If he could not finish the battle quickly, then Rock Lee's body would not be able to withstand it, and he would lose his ability to fight.
Now that Izayoi had taken the initiative to jump into the air and used Wind Release to float temporarily, it was simply like making himself a target for Rock Lee.
As expected...
After confirming that the Izayoi in the sky was the Main Body, Rock Lee immediately bent his knees and clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth again, "Eight Gates Formation, Fifth Gate - Gate of Limit... Open!"
*Boom—*
The violent airwave roared out again.
This time, the airwave not only swept through the entire hall and the second floor, but also shattered the ground, stirring up dust and depriving the ninjas who were not good at sensing of their right to watch the battle.
This level of battle is not even qualified for the weak to watch.
Kakashi Hatake and the other Konoha Jonin also tensed up, looking at Izayoi, who was suspended below the ceiling, ready to step in and save him.
But the next second, the expressions of the big figures, including Hiruzen Sarutobi, changed drastically.
Izayoi stretched out his hand towards the bottom, and a blue cyclone appeared under his palm.
Then the cyclones became more and more numerous, and quickly merged to form a blue and white energy ball.
This energy ball is not only familiar to some Jonin, but also extremely familiar.
"This is... Rasengan?"
"How is it possible? Why does this boy know the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan?"
"No, this is not Rasengan..."
The Jonin had just exclaimed when they realized something was wrong.
Because they all saw that the energy ball in Izayoi's hand was still growing, becoming a little bigger than an adult's head.
Then, two more fist-sized energy balls appeared inside this energy ball.
At the beginning, the colors of these two small energy balls were the same as the large energy ball, both blue and white.
But soon, these two small energy balls turned into one white and one blue, white being the white of lightning, and blue being the blue of the sea.
Seeing these two nature transformations, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and Kakashi Hatake all changed their expressions slightly.
Rasengan is originally an A-level non-attribute Ninjutsu, and it is still a top-level form transformation.
If nature transformation can be added to it, it is equivalent to Chidori adding form transformation, turning into Lightning Blade that cuts off lightning!
And Lightning Blade is an S-level Lightning Release Secret Technique.
Now Izayoi's energy ball not only has nature transformation added to it, but also two types.
Then what level is the power of this Ninjutsu?
Perhaps... they should be worried about not Izayoi, but... Rock Lee!
Boom—
At this moment, the sound of a sonic boom rang out, and the air wave dispersed the dust and mist.
A figure covered in green light, carrying a twisted rising airflow, shot towards Izayoi on the ceiling.
Along the way, this figure kept flickering, actually stepping on the air and moving at high speed in the air.
Izayoi slowly closed his eyes, and Kagura Mind's Eye locked onto Rock Lee's position.
In the Super Hurricane Combination Sphere in his hand, the two energy balls inside rotated frantically like the tomoe in the Sharingan. They were originally rotating clockwise, but after a few circles, one of them rotated counterclockwise, colliding with the other energy ball.
The collision of the two nature transformations did not cause the Super Hurricane Combination Sphere to explode, but instead merged together, turning into a dazzling laser, filling the Super Hurricane Combination Sphere.
"Storm Release: Judgement!"
As Izayoi's shout echoed, the energy ball in his hand instantly transformed into a laser beam, expanding and erupting downwards.
"Reverse Lotus!"
Staring at the ever-expanding laser beam, Rock Lee, whose speed was so fast that it created a sonic boom cloud, was unable to dodge due to the small size of the hall. He could only unleash the charged attack he had prepared for Izayoi, slamming it towards the laser beam.
The fist covered in green light struck the air, generating a terrifying shockwave that collided with the laser beam from below.
The scene of Secret Technique VS Secret Technique immediately unfolded before the eyes of all the examinees and Jonin.
Neither the Taijutsu Secret Technique nor the Storm Release Secret Technique, a fusion of water and electricity, were powers that Genin could possess.
Even Special Jonin and some Jonin did not have techniques to contend with them.
Before these spectators could guess which Secret Technique was stronger, the shockwave unleashed by Rock Lee rapidly dissipated in the struggle, then was blasted apart by the laser beam, engulfing Rock Lee.
"Li!!"
Seeing this scene, Might Guy immediately cried out in alarm.
"Lightning Blade!"
Just as the laser beam was about to crash into the ground, creating an unfathomably deep hole in the hall, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a ball of lightning in his hand, pressing it against the laser beam.
It was Kakashi Hatake.
The power to cut through lightning successfully severed the section of the laser beam that had engulfed Rock Lee.
A blur flashed past, and Hayate Gekko caught the already unconscious, even dying, Rock Lee, and disappeared in a Body Flicker Technique.
Boom————
The remaining laser beam crashed into the ground.
The entire Central Tower shook violently.
The examinees who had not grabbed onto handrails and did not have time to use Chakra to adhere to the ground were all shaken to the ground.
The disheveled examinees, not caring about their image, grabbed the railings with both hands, their eyes wide as they watched the beam of light gradually shrink, eventually disappearing as a line.
When the beam of light completely disappeared, there was not much space left to stand in the entire hall.
There was only a bottomless black hole.
