Gaara, Kankuro!
Seeing that both of her younger brothers were being blocked, Temari immediately took off the fan from her back and was about to step forward.
"Don't move."
A very soft voice came from behind. Neji brought his right index and middle fingers together, and there was only a tiny distance between them Temari's forehead.
The sharpness of that Chakra caused Temari to tremble involuntarily.
"When..."
Temari unconsciously swallowed, not only because of the attack on her forehead, but also because of Neji's speed just now.
It was my oversight that they could come directly to me.
However, he was just with Gaara, so it's impossible for him to just come over like this.
My gaze shifted to Gaara's direction, where Gaara frozen in place, a tall sand wall standing in front of him.
However, at this moment, a large hole has been torn open, and sand is dripping out continuously.
"Rock Lee, as soon as possible."
Neji frowned; he didn't really want to get into any more trouble.
On one hand, it's unnecessary; on the other hand, something about Gaara is really off.
"Learn!"
Rock Lee snapped out of his daze, no longer hesitating, and charged straight at Gaara.
"Konoha Rising Wind!"
His right foot, carrying a powerful gust of wind, hurtled straight towards Gaara's abdomen.
Bang--
Blocked by a sandstorm once again, Rock Lee finally realized that this guy didn't need to pay any attention to his movements.
The sand will automatically block his attacks.
"Breathe--!"
Without hesitation, Rock Lee used his breathing technique, making his movements even faster.
Although Hagoromo breathing techniques once or twice, Neji was still a master of the breathing techniques.
He can certainly give Rock Lee pointers; to put it bluntly, Rock Lee's current breathing technique is even on par with Hinata's.
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
Rock Lee moved swiftly, leaving countless afterimages in his wake.
Gaara finally gave up on Neji, who he thought was perhaps more delicious, and instead paid attention to this guy who looked like a watermelon rind.
Countless streams of sand surrounded him, blocking Rock Lee's kicks time and time again.
Bang--
Finally, Rock Lee, who had once again closed in on Gaara, delivered a powerful kick that dodged the Sand Stream but landed squarely inside.
It worked!
Boom--
The next instant, Gaara's figure flew straight to the side, his face still showing a hint of disbelief.
Gaara!
Temari, who was being closely watched by Neji, Temari loudly, her face full of worry.
For the first time, for the first time, someone directly dodged the Sand Stream's defense and hit Gaara.
"Call--"
Rock Lee stopped his attack and exhaled a deep breath.
He launched dozens of attacks just now, but only one hit; this guy's defense is simply...
'Absolute Defense'!
"Ho--Ho--"
Cough--
Gaara had fallen to the ground, stood up, his breathing disordered. He couldn't help but cough, and a mouthful of scalding blood spurted out.
"Blood?"
"Ah--! Blood! I want you dead!"
Gaara first stared in disbelief at the blood on the ground, then went even more frantic, looking up the moment he did so.
An aura pressed down directly on Rock Lee.
Rock Lee was the first to react, frowned. This guy... is he crazy?
Bleeding is a normal thing, so why is he reacting so strongly?
"Hey! You guys from Konoha, stop your teammate! Take him away!"
Temari's face was filled with panic as she called out to Neji in front of her.
Neji, on the other hand, activated his Byakugan and carefully observed Gaara's position.
"A very strange Chakra, and..."
It's somewhat similar to the Chakra that Naruto sometimes unleashes.
"Stop it? Don't be so naive."
Neji ignored him; for now, Rock Lee was still manageable, and he wanted to see just what kind of guy this was.
Temari was stunned upon hearing this.
Are all the guys from Konoha this stubborn?
Li raised his hands to block the flying sand and stones coming his way, Rock Lee brows furrowed tightly.
We can't delay any longer--
"Lotus!"
The next instant, Rock Lee rushed towards Gaara at an even faster speed. With the help of his breathing technique, he could use the Lotus for a brief period of time without having to open the Eight Gates Formation.
Call--
In a flash, Rock Lee appeared directly behind Gaara, his fist aimed at Gaara's back.
"Quicksand Waterfall Flow!"
Countless waves of sand erupted from Gaara's body, directly breaking through Rock Lee's attack.
Incidentally, he swept across the surroundings without restraint.
Neji Body Flicker Technique from his spot, appearing behind Mu San in the next instant and carrying him away at breakneck speed.
Kankuro and Temari were swept away by the sudden sandstorm and headed into the distance.
"Aww--!"
Gaara let out a superhuman roar, and a massive surge of Chakra spread throughout the surrounding area.
Snap--
Neji landed beside Rock Lee and put down the Mu San.
"Rock Lee, take Mu San and leave first."
Neji, observing the fluctuations, was now certain.
The seemingly insane guy in front of me does indeed have something inside him just like Naruto.
The Sunagakure... actually Jinchūriki to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams.
"But..." Rock Lee wanted to say something more.
Neji waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Let's leave first. This guy isn't easy to deal with. I'll find a chance to leave."
Indeed, Neji had no intention of fighting Gaara.
He just needed Rock Lee and the others to go first, while he held them off here for a bit.
"Let's go, Rock Lee." Mu San grabbed Rock Lee's arm and ran off into the distance.
"Sand Shower!"
Gaara used the sand waves to lift his body into the air, and with a wave of his hand, countless sand bullets formed in mid-air.
He then shot off at top speed in the direction Rock Lee had gone.
This guy actually dared to make him bleed! He must be killed!
Neji took a step to the side, then gathered Chakra, and when it reached a certain level, he stepped directly into the air.
"Kanshui-type Vortex Shield!"
In mid-air, Neji drew a spiral arc with one arm, palm facing outward, and a high-speed rotating Chakra wave rushed towards the oncoming sand bullet.
Smack
The high-speed sand bullet seemed to hit a transparent film, spinning along with the Chakra turbulence.
It then fell limply to the ground.
With each step he took, Neji's figure receded further into the distance.
This guy's Chakra is truly enormous.
"Don't even think about leaving!" Gaara, driven mad by the attack, roared even more furiously when he saw his offensive so easily blocked.
He raised his hands and pressed them directly onto the sand that was supporting him.
"Sand Waterfall Funeral!"
Countless sandstorms shot into the sky, pulverizing and assimilating the ground along their path; the offensive was not diminished by the distance.
On the contrary, the more ground it devoured, the more imposing its presence became.
