Chapter 572
"Even if he won't use any moves, he won't lose to anyone... He is an expert in taijutsu!" And just as Gaara turned around again, trying to search for Lee's position with his eyes.
The other party performed a mid-air rotation and flew to the top of Gaara's head. "I'm here!"
Gaara, hearing the voice, looked up subconsciously.
Pop!
However, before he could see Lee's face.
A downward kick smashed Gaara's face, which had just been raised, down heavily.
A bloodstain scratched Gaara's cheek.
And Gaara, who had been standing in the center of the field, was also beaten back several steps.
Temari opened her mouth in astonishment, "How is it possible, he actually really hurt Gaara!" Kankuro widened his eyes, "No way..."
Naruto also jumped and shouted excitedly: "That thick-eyebrowed guy is actually so powerful!"
"Lee! Explode your youth!"
This line from Might Guy, showing his white, large teeth, was like a fuse lighting a pack of dynamite, making the audience feel their blood surging.
They sent the word "Youth" on the barrage one after another.
It made people not even know how to write these two characters. "Woah!"
Lee responded passionately, disappearing in place again, flashing behind Gaara.
Gaara hurried back.
But just as Lee appeared behind him, he disappeared again in an instant and appeared in front of Gaara.
And at this time, Gaara's head was still turning back.
Pop—a punch was thrown, and this time Gaara drew several meters in mid-air, smashed heavily to the ground, and slid several more meters.
A few seconds later, Gaara slowly climbed up from the ground, his head hanging low, making it impossible for people to see his expression.
Kankuro frowned, "It's bad."
Naruto, standing on the side, gloated and interjected: "Yeah, it's bad, that panda-eye was beaten up fiercely."
"I didn't mean that."
Kankuro's voice fell, and Gaara in the arena below also raised his head again.
The skin on the surface presented a dark brown color of flowing sand peeling off.
But even more terrifying was Gaara's twisted expression at the moment, which made people shudder.
"This feeling, what exactly is going on?"
Seeing Gaara like this, Naruto shuddered.
Immediately after, he felt an indescribable feeling.
Vaguely producing the idea that he had some connection with the other party.
And netizens were also amazed by the acting skills of this group of young actors born after 05 and 10.
I don't know if the group of actresses born after 85, who are famous for their poor acting skills, felt a hint of shame after seeing this scene.
Barely calming down, Kankuro, acting as a commentator, explained that it was the Armor of Sand.
Gaara's second insurance.
And realizing that even after removing the weights, ordinary punches and kicks couldn't hurt Gaara, Lee resolutely decided to use his ultimate move—Hidden Lotus!
Before Gaara could fully recover, Lee disappeared in place again.
Flashing beneath Gaara, a flying kick smashed Gaara into mid-air.
Continuous violent flying kicks slowly peeled off the Armor of Sand on Gaara's body surface.
Just as he was about to kick Gaara to the ceiling of the arena, the bandages on Lee's wrists unraveled rapidly, binding Gaara into a cocoon shape, flipping him over, and spinning wildly like a top toward the ground.
"Take this! Hidden Lotus!"
Countless viewers in front of the screen clenched their fists and shouted in approval.
This move is too cool!
At the same time, many people recognized that this move was exactly the move Lee was preparing to use against Sasuke when the Chunin Exams arc just started two weeks ago.
It was just that it was stopped by Might Guy at that time.
If this move were used on Sasuke... holy crap, I dare not imagine it.
But the next second, as the diffused dust gradually dissipated, seeing Gaara thrown to the ground by Lee, the audience was scared again.
Gaara's body was melting!
No, that wasn't Gaara, but a Sand Clone!
For the audience who had been following the drama to this point, they were no longer strangers to things like the Transformation Jutsu.
Except for the basic Clone Jutsu used by Sakura, Sasuke, and others, Kakashi and Zabuza also showed clones with different attributes.
Not to mention the iconic ninjutsu Shadow Clone of the protagonist Naruto.
But the question is, when was the Substitution Jutsu used?
"Just a moment ago, when Lee stopped attacking because of the side effects of the Hidden Lotus and felt pain." Kakashi explained in a low voice.
Lee, who was in shock, hadn't come back to his senses yet, and Gaara behind him had already stood up from the sand like a messenger from hell, waving his hand to roll up a wave of sand, swallowing Lee instantly.
The situation had reversed!
Lee became very difficult to even move normally because of the side effects of the Hidden Lotus.
And Gaara wasn't in a hurry to decide the winner.
As if he were a cat playing with a mouse before eating it, he controlled the sand to slowly play him to death.
And in the eyes of the audience who couldn't bear to watch, the scene slowly entered a memory, presenting Lee's past experiences. In the Ninja Academy, many classmates sneered and mocked: "How could a guy like you who can't even use ninjutsu become a ninja? It's incredible that you could even enter the Ninja Academy!"
"Do you know what everyone calls you? Hot-blooded dead-last!"
Immediately, the scene flashed rapidly; after finally graduating, in the countless sparring matches with Neji, Lee was knocked down to the ground again and again. Tenten: "Lee, can you not be so stubborn? Neji is a genius!" Neji: "No matter how hard you try, you can't defeat me... this is a destined fate." The memory scene flashed like a revolving lantern.
Countless viewers secretly clenched their fists and bit their lower lips unknowingly.
Vaguely seeing their own shadow in Lee.
This scene is exactly like that sentence from the original author of "Naruto," Kishimoto: Naruto is my shadow, Lee is everyone's shadow. Of course, this sentence was most likely said before "Naruto" became popular.
By the time Kishimoto became successful, his mentality inevitably changed... ===== CHAPTER 574 =====
