Hearing the cracking sounds, Feng An instinctively turned around.
His expression changed instantly.
"Why is the mountain splitting apart?!"
The falling rocks rolling down above his head did not seem large compared to the massive mountain from afar.
But looking up from below, Feng An saw boulders two or three meters tall hurtling down at him.
He hurriedly leaped backward at explosive speed, vanishing just as the falling rocks were about to smash into his face.
Rumble—

Compared to the right half, the left half of the mountain had sunk several meters.
"What the hell happened?!"
While Feng An was still shaken, a pair of large hands landed on his shoulders.
Turning around, he saw a familiar face with thick brows and narrow eyes.
"Feng An! We're done for! Th-that's Hokage Rock in front of us!"
Might Guy's face had turned ashen. His hands tightened instinctively, making Feng An's shoulders ache.
The other three were equally dumbfounded.
"Are you sure you opened the fourth gate, the Gate of Pain? Not the sixth gate, the Gate of View?"
The energetic look on Rock Lee's face vanished, replaced by utter dejection.
He had once been full of determination to surpass Neji and then catch up to Feng An, but now he had given up on Feng An as a goal.
I'd better just surpass Neji...
Rock Lee felt bitter inside.
"Is he really a year below me? Not older than me?"
Tenten's mouth hung open, her eyes wide as though she had activated the Byakugan.
Only Neji Hyuga gritted his teeth. Turmoil
