Whoosh~
The waterfall poured down from the mountainside, crashing into the lake with a crackling roar.
Bang!
A water dragon shot up from the lake and bit down on a terrified figure.
Splurt, splurt~
Blood sprayed everywhere, leaving behind only a terrified head.
Reality warped and twisted...
Rock Lee returned to the forest before the waterfall.
Huff, huff, huff~
Rock Lee panted heavily, bloodshot veins appearing in his eyes.

A sickle attached to a chain swept across
