Chapter 107: Gaara: Please Seal Him Until the Finale (Fourth Update)

Naruto world, Konoha Village

"Boom… boom… boom…"

At this moment, inside the tower of the Forest of Death, one tremendous crash after another rang out.

Beneath the enormous arena, Gaara was now like a ball, being struck back and forth repeatedly by Lee.

As his body flew through the air, his sand armor kept flaking off and falling away.

In the stands, the crowd stared at the scene before them, utterly dumbfounded.

"His speed has actually reached this level!"

Kakashi, a jonin, watched Lee moving at high speed and, for the first time, showed a look of shock.

"Kakashi, did you see that? Lee may not be a genius, but he will prove his ninja way to all of you!"

Beside Kakashi, Guy looked down at Lee below, and the eyes of his younger self involuntarily surfaced in his gaze.

Those years taught Guy what it means to protect, and what is worth proving with one's life.

"Lee, burn!"

The flame in his eyes gradually ignited, and Guy raised his thumb toward Lee below.

Lee, moving at high speed below, caught sight of this, and his eyes instantly welled up.

This was Teacher Guy's recognition of him.

"Thud!"

A heavy punch landed, and Gaara's body was sent flying once more.

At this moment, Lee did not pursue. Instead, he tapped the ground with his foot, and his figure retreated straight to the edge of the arena.

He cast a sidelong glance at Teacher Guy and saw the affirmation in the latter's eyes.

In Lee's eyes, the flame of youth burned completely alight.

Teacher Guy, watch me—I won't let you down!

"Eight Gates, First Gate: Gate of Opening, open!"

He crossed his hands before his eyes, and the next instant, an extremely powerful chakra ripple spread out around Lee.

Having gained Teacher Guy's approval, Rock Lee now resolved to carry his ninja way through to the end.

His gaze flicked briefly to Neji in the stands.

See that? This is the move I've been saving to beat you!

His eyes conveyed the message, and the next instant, Lee turned his head back to look at Gaara.

Now, I'll use you to carry out my ninja way!

"Eight Gates, Second Gate: Gate of Healing, open!"

"Eight Gates, Third Gate: Gate of Life, open!"

Opening three gates in succession, Kakashi in the stands was instantly dumbfounded.

"Guy, you actually taught him even something like this!"

Watching the Eight Gates unleashed by a genin, Kakashi was already stunned speechless.

This is a forbidden technique—how could you hand it to a child?

Sakura, Naruto, and the others nearby stared at the chakra around Lee, almost visible to the naked eye, and were completely dumbfounded.

Oh my god—among the people taking the exam with them, there was actually someone hiding his true strength like this?

"Kakashi-sensei, what is that thing Lee is using?"

Sakura swallowed hard, her eyes wide as she asked.

But at this moment, Kakashi paid her no attention at all.

Instead, he pulled down his mask directly, revealing the three-tomoe Sharingan beneath.

As the Sharingan spun, he looked toward Lee.

"Kakashi, watch—he will prove his ninja way!"

At this moment, Guy watched Lee below with satisfaction, having opened three gates in succession, and a raging flame involuntarily lit in his eyes.

The Lee of now reminded Guy of his younger self.

"Is he about to move?"

The Sharingan turned, and even Kakashi now watched with tense anticipation.

"No, Kakashi—not yet!"

Guy's words had barely fallen when Lee, not far away, shouted once more.

"Eight Gates, Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain, open!"

A great shout burst from Lee's lips, echoing across the entire venue.

Breaking past the safe zone of three gates, the moment the Fourth Gate opened, Lee's face instantly bulged with veins, and a terrifyingly powerful chakra ripple erupted from within him.

Yet Lee, standing amid the chakra ripple, remained unmoved.

"Lee, go!"

In the stands, Guy, the one who knew Lee best, shouted loudly.

With four gates open, Lee would first shatter the sand armor, then open the fifth gate and use Reverse Lotus!

But the moment Guy's words fell, Lee did not move.

Lee, standing in the arena, looked at his Teacher Guy, and the fighting spirit in his eyes blazed faster and faster.

To repay Teacher Guy, today was the moment to prove his ninja way.

Having undergone the enhancement of the gourmet meal and the blessing of the Thousand-Layer Pork Roll.

Lee's physical fitness had not only improved greatly, but his comprehension of the Eight Gates had also grown stronger.

"Eight Gates, Fifth Gate — Close Gate, open!"

Opening the Fifth Gate in succession, the massive chakra fluctuation caused the ground around Xiao Li to shatter completely.

The terrifying scene left everyone in the stands utterly dumbfounded.

The hell? This is a Genin?

Whether it was Naruto or Kankuro and the others, the corners of their mouths all twitched.

This ridiculously fierce kid — even if you said he was a Jōnin, they'd believe it!

"Kai, what's going on? He's already at the Fifth Gate!"

Unlike the others, Kakashi actually knew the dangers of the Eight Gates. Watching Xiao Li open five gates in a row without any sign of stopping, Kakashi immediately panicked.

The more gates opened, the greater the damage to the body.

Xiao Li is still just a child!

And at this moment, not only Kakashi panicked, even Kai panicked.

No way, no way — Li wouldn't be planning to use that move, would he?

Just as Kai was inwardly horrified, Xiao Li's figure below moved in an instant.

"Bang!"

In just a single flash, he appeared right beside Gaara.

Caught off guard, Gaara had no chance to react at all and was kicked straight into midair.

Then Xiao Li stomped one foot on the ground, his body leaping directly over Gaara's head.

Such a scene left both Kai and Kakashi staring blankly.

Then, the next moment, Xiao Li in midair shouted once more.

"Eight Gates, Sixth Gate — View Gate, open!"

With a great shout, a terrifyingly extreme chakra fluctuation erupted in an instant.

An immensely powerful wave of chakra blasted everything around it away.

Gaara's body was sent flying like a missile.

And right at this moment, Xiao Li moved again.

"Morning Peacock!"

With a great shout, blazing fire meteors were launched from Xiao Li's hands.

Countless meteors rained straight down toward Gaara.

Such a scene stunned Kankuro and the others.

Holy shit, Konoha is cheating — this kid is definitely not a Genin!

An attack at this level — even if you said it was from an elite Jōnin, he'd believe it!

And Gaara, facing this attack at this moment, was completely dumbfounded.

The gourd sand on his back simply couldn't keep up with the speed of the fire meteors.

In just a single exchange, Gaara was beaten senseless.

Flames burned all around him — at this moment, Gaara had only one thought.

This guy is hacking — ban him, definitely ban him!

Ban him until the finale!!!
