"This kind of secret technique again! Is it really that easy for them to use?"
Many people were surprised by Rock Lee's outburst and also noticed Karin's unusual behavior.
I thought Rock Lee would have the upper hand, but I didn't expect that his opponent also had the means to increase Chakra.
"What a formidable opponent! Luckily, he ran into Karin, otherwise we probably wouldn't have fared any better!"
It was Kidomaru who spoke. Even he had to admit that his physical strength and endurance were no match for his opponent's, because Karin's Taijutsu was personally taught by Anko.
Anko may not be outstanding in other aspects, but her stamina is Kakuzu the best of the veteran ninjas like Kakuzu.
As her student, and especially as a student specializing in Taijutsu, the requirements are self-evident.
Kidomaru's team had the most physical training, while Haku's team focused more on technique, aiming to make one unit of Chakra have two units of effect.
Kimimaro's team, on the other hand, focused more on lethality. They would fight even at the cost of injury, and would fight without hesitation as long as the damage they inflicted on the opponent was greater than the damage they received.
Therefore, the Anko Squad seeks a slowdown, the White Squad seeks stability, Kimimaro Squad seeks survival!
While everyone was discussing it, the battle broke out again.
Rock Lee's figure vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only a wisp of air behind.
When he reappeared, he had already kicked Karin's chin with a flying kick. He's really persistent!
"Shadow of the Dancing Leaf!"
Even though she had expected it, Karin was still unable to dodge this time. She only had time to block with her hands before her body was kicked away.
"Not good!"
The audience, who had witnessed this move, began to gasp in surprise, clearly anticipating what was about to happen.
Having landed a successful blow, Rock Lee immediately appeared behind Karin, the bandages on his hands unfurling and gradually wrapping around Karin's waist.
Karin, suspended in mid-air, has no leverage and it will be difficult for her to escape the attack. However, Anko has at least three ways to break free.
Firstly, if the opponent attacks her from behind, as long as the punches and kicks are aimed at either side of her body, there is a certain chance that she can grab the opponent's hands and feet.
On the other hand, she used Wind Release to release it upwards, using the reaction force to sink her body and disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm.
The last method is simpler and clearer. Karin grabbed the bandage around her waist and pulled hard, causing her body to immediately rotate.
Karin, who had been facing away from Rock Lee, suddenly found herself facing him, and their bodies were almost pressed together as they were pulled.
However, the next moment Karin kicked off her opponent's body, and the two immediately created distance between them.
Rock Lee was also surprised by the other party's quick reaction, as if they had anticipated his attack method.
After being glared at and kicked, Rock Lee's body initially fell downwards, but he was quickly pulled back by Karin with bandages. What awaited him was Karin's powerful punch.
The offense and defense switched in an instant, Rock Lee could only block in front of him with both hands.
The next moment, Rock Lee shot towards the ground like a cannonball.
"Ahem... How did you see through my moves?"
As the smoke cleared, Rock Lee stood up looking disheveled, staring at Karin with some surprise in his eyes.
Karin, who had landed back on the ground, smiled but did not answer the other party. She couldn't very well say that not only had she seen Anko use this move, but Fu also liked to use it, could she?
There are just too many scenes of those girls throwing people into the air and then doing whatever they want.
"If this trick doesn't work, let's try another one!"
Before he finished speaking, Rock Lee's figure disappeared again. Before he even arrived, a sharp gust of wind rushed towards Karin.
"Youthful Full-Power Strike!"
As Rock Lee leaped into the air, he kicked Karin hard, but Karin didn't take the kick head-on and dodged to the side.
Then she slammed a Heaven-Piercing Kick at her opponent, and the ground, like tofu, could not withstand the combined assault.
The two sides exchanged blows, their figures disappearing and reappearing in an instant, fighting fiercely.
The crowd on the high platform felt that they were not there to compete, but to sabotage the competition. Soon, the training ground was riddled with holes from the two men's fighting, and the battle between them reached a fever pitch.
Seeing that he couldn't defeat his opponent for a long time, Rock Lee Li decided to go all out. He was the only member of the team to enter the official competition, and he couldn't afford to lose no matter what!
Thinking of this, Rock Lee's aura erupted once again, and the fourth gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Pain, was immediately opened!
Karin, who was originally able to keep up with her opponent's speed, suddenly felt immense pressure and was caught off guard, taking several punches from her opponent, with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
However, she didn't activate the second stage of the Curse Mark. It was their life-saving trump card, not to be easily activated. If everything relied on external forces, what was the point of her participating in the training?
But she wasn't entirely helpless. After blocking one of Rock Lee's sweeping attacks, her other hand suddenly moved.
As the handprints were made, her mouth immediately bulged out.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
Rock Lee, who had been on guard against his opponent's punches and kicks, was caught off guard and hit in the arm by a whirlwind bullet. At such close range, even if he reacted quickly, it was too late.
However, after being hit by a wind blast, Rock Lee Li immediately did several backflips to create distance. Karin's spitting attack followed closely, but he narrowly dodged it all.
This attack caught not only the parties involved off guard, but even the spectators in the stands were confused about what was happening.
Only a few sharp-eyed ninjas could see what was happening.
"He can actually... he can form hand Hand Seals with one hand!"
Even a genius like Kakashi has to admit that he couldn't do that at his age.
Sasuke, who was standing in front of him, could see everything clearly as well. He had already clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth were grinding.
I originally thought the other party was only amazing in Taijutsu, but I didn't expect that his ninjutsu talent was also above his.
"How could the other party possibly have done something like this! It's impossible, it must be a coincidence!"
Sasuke, who was reluctant to accept reality, still couldn't believe that the other person could be so outstanding.
Kakashi could only sigh helplessly at his reaction. "I told you not to Sharingan, now you've been provoked!"
But that's good, otherwise, someone who acts like they're the boss and don't care about anyone else would be really unlikable.
Before the audience could figure out what had happened, they soon witnessed another unbelievable scene.
As soon as Rock Lee stopped, Karin launched an attack.
During a lull in their exchange, Karin seized another opportunity, formed several hand seals, and unleashed a Fire Release attack on her opponent.
This time, the people on the platform got a clear look, and surprised murmurs arose again.
It's no wonder they were so surprised; even the so-called geniuses of this generation Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuga, couldn't do it.
Let alone Konoha, even if you include the Northern Lands, Karin is the only one at this age who can perform hand Hand Seals with one hand.
However, after only releasing three ninjutsu, Karin seemed to have reached her limit. Seeing that his opponent was weakening, Rock Lee immediately seized the opportunity to launch another close-range attack.
Under the relentless attacks of her opponent, Karin had no chance to unleash her ninjutsu again, and her remaining strength gradually put her at a disadvantage.
She stopped struggling to get up after being heavily knocked away by her opponent, and the Curse Mark on her face slowly disappeared.
He felt completely exhausted and lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all.
Seeing the opponent's performance, Rock Lee did not continue to attack. His body had reached its limit after opening the Eight Gates.
If Karin doesn't give up soon, he probably won't last more than a few breaths. The only reason he's been able to hold on until now is because of his indomitable spirit.
Fortunately, the referee immediately went to check on Karin after seeing the scene, and arrived on the field a moment later.
"I declare the winner to Rock Lee!"
Upon hearing the voice he had been dreaming of, Rock Lee withdrew the Eight Gates and then sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
The physical injuries, combined with the aftereffects of the Eight Gates, immediately flared up, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood and collapse to the ground.
"Rock Lee!"
Might Guy quickly moved to the center of the field, Anko also came over to check on Karin's condition the moment the match ended.
The audience was once again in an uproar upon seeing this scene; they never expected that both sides would fight to the death...
