Chapter 54: Follow the Way of Ninja! You are already an amazing ninja!

"Okay!" Xiao Li also shouted in response to Kai. He took a step to the ground, almost teleporting, and threw a punch directly. At the moment of Gaara's automatic defense, it was actually pierced!

But Xiao Li didn't make any extra movements. He turned into a residual image and disappeared directly at the previous position, and kicked towards Gaara's blind spot again.

At this moment, Xiao Li's punch and kick speeds were so fast that Gaara couldn't catch them with the naked eye. All he saw were gusts of punch and kick wind passing through all parts of his body.

Although it was blocked by the sand, this time the attack went straight through his body.

Even Kakashi felt it was so fast, and compared to Kanane here, he kept sighing in his heart.

Why is Kanon so persistent in becoming stronger? That is a manifestation of her lack of security. If I could care about her a little more, I could give her more of Konoha's "sunshine".

Maybe she doesn't have to force herself to become stronger... Most of the suffering that Kanon has endured so far came from her sense of security, and the darkness she has experienced is far beyond her age level.

Abandoned by her clan, hunted by her relatives, and assassinated by Konoha's high-ranking officials, if she didn't have the strength, she would not have survived.

Thinking of this, Kakashi's heart seemed to be tightened by something, and it was an inexplicable pain.

As if she noticed Kakashi's gaze, Kanon asked Kakashi with some confusion.

"Teacher Kakashi, what's wrong? Are you thirsty and want to drink some water?" As she said that, Kanon picked up the kettle she had placed on the ground and handed it to Kakashi.

"No..." Kakashi shook his head slightly and continued to watch the game below with everyone's gaze.

As expected, Xiao Li's body kept flashing, but Might Guy said confidently, "Xiao Li doesn't know ninjutsu and illusion, so he spends all his time on physical skills!"

"Put all your energy into learning Taijutsu. Even if he doesn't know any Ninjutsu, he won't lose to anyone!"

"First-class taijutsu expert..."

As soon as Might Guy finished speaking, Rock Lee in the center of the field kicked Gaara on the head. This time, the sand could not keep up with Rock Lee's speed!

"Beautiful!" Hanane was delighted.

There was a bloody scratch on Gaara's face, and there was a hint of determination and pride in Xiao Li's eyes.

"It's unbelievable that he can actually keep up with Gaara..." Temari and Kankuro looked at the audience in amazement.

Only Sakura looked at Kanon as what she said was slowly becoming a reality.

"I didn't expect that thick eyebrow is faster than before..."

"It turns out that guy is so powerful!"

Hearing Naruto say this, Sakura, looking at Kanon's happy face, was also stunned.

Since Rock Lee is so powerful when he takes off the weight, then Sasuke's sister, the Uchiha genius girl Uchiha Kanon, must be...

Thinking of this, Sakura was a little afraid to think further.

"Let the youth burst out!!!!" Might Guy shouted loudly to the audience, scaring Kanon and Naruto.

"You're going to die! Teacher Kai!" Hanane was standing next to Kai, and he was the one who was more frightened.

"This is a good time to ignite our youth. We will not regret our youth!" Might Guy also shouted about youth from behind, leaving Kanon speechless.

Sure enough, Xiao Li below seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and his blood was burning with passion!

He rushed towards Gaara with great force, raising a lot of dust behind him. This time, even Kakashi was overwhelmed by his speed!

Gaara had no way of judging where Lee would attack from, and the same could not be said for his sand.

This time, Xiao Li used a faster and more violent attack to break through the absolute defense again and directly knocked Gaara away.

"Amazing! So fast!"

"so amazing..."

Sakura and the people in Team 10 were all staring at the scene in amazement.

Gaara's smile at this moment gradually became crazy. It was a kind of desire, an expectation, and a solemn feeling!

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and cracks appeared on Gaara's face, peeling off piece by piece.

"What's going on..." Naruto was a little confused.

"Is your whole body covered with sand?!" Kanon answered this question for Naruto.

"There's absolutely no damage at all!" Shikamaru muttered slowly.

"Who is that... guy?" Sakura was stunned.

"This is the Armor of Sand, which is Gaara's true absolute defense."

Kankuro, who was standing next to him, also began to explain to everyone.

This technique also has its shortcomings. The previous Sand Shield automatically helps Gaara block attacks, but this Sand Armor requires Gaara to defend manually, so it will consume a lot of chakra and its defense is not as good as the Sand Shield.

Of course, Kankuro would not reveal the weakness of this technique to Naruto and others.

"Is this all your strength?!" Gaara mocked directly.

Xiao Li frowned. At this moment, no matter how fast he was, it was useless against Gaara. He must have a stronger attack to directly break this layer of absolute defense. He could only use Lotus!

Thinking of this, Xiao Li loosened the bandage on his hand. He is so tough!

He took a step forward and started running around Gaara. His speed was so fast that his afterimage formed a circle. He kept running in circles around Gaara, interspersing his attacks in between.

"Come over here quickly..."

"Then as you wish!"

Finally, Xiao Li found an opportunity and kicked Gaara into the sky, but it was different from before!

Xiao Li supported himself on the ground with his hands and continuously kicked Gaara in the sky. Xiao Li's continuous kicks continued to cause severe damage to Gaara's sand armor.

But at the same time, Xiao Li's body was also under a huge load. With the bandages coming off, Gaara was now tightly tied up by Xiao Li in the air.

At this time, the two of them were spinning at high speed in the sky, and rushed towards the ground while everyone was amazed.

The entire competition arena was covered in a cloud of dust, making it difficult for everyone to see what was happening.

"Sure enough... it's still too much of a stretch... If you only rely on physical skills..." Kanon looked at Gaara in the field with some concern. She sensed that Gaara's chakra did not weaken, and seemed to have become even stronger.

Xiao Li looked at Gaara lying on the ground breathlessly, and all the Konoha Genin showed surprised smiles.

Before they could laugh for a while, Gaara on the field broke into pieces! It turned out that this Gaara was not a real body, but an empty shell!

"When Xiao Li hesitated due to the pain caused by Lianhua, he used something similar to a substitution technique..." Hanane explained to everyone.

"Yes, that's right." Kakashi nodded in approval of Kanon's approach.

"But, Kanon, how did you realize this?" asked Sakura beside her.

"Because at that time, I will also seize the flaw of this moment..."

Xiao Li on the battlefield was already out of breath, and because he had just used the lotus, Xiao Li was still sore all over.

"Oh no, did the discomfort in my body get worse because of using the Lotus just now?" Hanako also knows how to use the Lotus, and she understands that this move is indeed difficult.

"That's right, because Lotus Flower is a move that hurts both sides..." Kakashi frowned as he looked at Rock Lee who was being beaten back on the stage.

"Lotus is neither a ninjutsu nor a genjutsu... but a high-speed physical technique..., which will put a great strain on the body. Maybe Xiao Li will feel terrible if he moves now."

Kakashi told everyone in Team 7 the news with a bit of helplessness.

As the voice fell, Xiao Li on the battlefield was thrown out by the yellow sand again and fell heavily to the ground, but the attacks continued to come one after another. Gaara would not give Xiao Li a chance to breathe!

This time, Might Guy was a little worried about Xiao Li on the field.

"No! Xiao Li, give up now! If you continue fighting, you will die!" Sakura shouted at Xiao Li below.

It seemed that Rock Lee had heard it, and at this moment, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

Facing Gaara's next wave of yellow sand attack, his body flashed and turned into an afterimage, and he actually avoided the attack!

Looking at Gaara in front of him, Xiao Li thought of Neji, Sasuke, Naruto, and the Uchiha genius girl Kanon!

"Teacher...He is looking at me with a smile..."

"Just because of this, I can recover strongly!"

"I will become stronger, stronger than before!"

Hua Yin looked at Xiao Li's expression at the moment and became excited. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her guess was indeed correct.

Because at this moment, a terrifying steam emerged from Xiao Li's body, blowing his watermelon head away.

"Xiao Li actually laughed... Why could he laugh in such a predicament?" Sakura became even more worried.

"No, this time it's his turn to force his opponent into a desperate situation."

"The lotus of Konoha will bloom again!" After hearing Might Guy's confident words, Kakashi looked at him in surprise, and asked him with shock flashing in his eyes.

"Could it be that, Kai...you have already taught him..."

"As you think."

"So, as a Genin, he can open the inner door of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu and perform the Lotus Flower?"

"Is such that..."

After getting a positive answer from Might Guy, Kakashi continued to ask: "Gai, how many gates of the Eight Gates can that kid open?"

"Five doors." Might Guy said bluntly.

"What?!" Kakashi was shocked.

Then the two of them began to explain the Eight Gates to Sakura, and Naruto also listened carefully. Only Kanon was still paying attention to the battle on the field.

Gaara made a hand seal and frowned as he looked at Rock Lee in front of him.

"Although I don't know what you are going to do..."

"But you end here..."

Countless steam also surged from Xiao Li's body.

"Yeah... no matter what, it will be over after this move..."

"Ningji, Sasuke, Kanon, and...Naruto...you are all the ones I want to pursue."

"I can't be the only one losing here!"

"Teacher Kai, please recognize me..."

At the moment when Rock Lee exploded, Kanon on the stage also shouted "Come on" to Rock Lee below.

"Come on, Xiao Li!"

When Xiao Li heard Hua Yin's encouragement, he felt more confident.

"Now is the time...for me to carry out my ninja way!"

"The third door, the living door, open!"

A terrifying aura spread throughout the entire Chunin Exam venue.

"The door to life has been opened, is he going to take action?!" Kakashi pulled up his forehead protector, revealing his three-magatama Sharingan.

Kanon beside him also opened her Sharingan like Kakashi!

"No, not yet!"

Sure enough, after Might Guy's veto, Xiao Li below yelled.

"The fourth door, the wounding door, open!!!"

On Xiao Li's face, which was gradually dyed red with blood, countless blue veins popped out, and the stones on the ground were blown away by the green aura.

"He's so amazing... This isn't something you can achieve just by working hard."

"That kid...is he really a genius?" Kakashi also exclaimed wildly.

"It's about to move!" At this moment, Kanon also used the Sharingan to capture the bending of Xiao Li's legs.

"coming!"

boom!

All the rocks on the ground exploded and flew in all directions.

At this moment, Xiao Li will not hesitate! It is still the same move, but the speed is extremely fast. This time, only Kakashi and Kanon's Sharingan can catch it!

In an instant, Xiao Li kicked Gaara in the chin. The terrifying force made Gaara fly into the sky. The huge impact was accompanied by a howling wind.

With one kick, Gaara's armor was covered with cracks. Xiao Li would not miss this opportunity to float in the air.

He launched a torrential and continuous attack at Gaara from four angles. Such a high-intensity attack indeed caused Gaara's sand armor to further disintegrate.

"This is the final blow!"

Xiao Li was moving at high speed, his body covered with muscles.

"The fifth door, Dumen, open!"

Gaara was stunned when he saw Rock Lee's bulging muscles.

"I can't defend myself. Is this really something a human can do?!" Gaara thought to himself.

And in the air, Xiao Li also raised his fist and dropped it down towards Gaara's body.

"Ningji, this trick was originally reserved for you!"

"I'll just let you see it for yourself!"

As he said that, Xiao Li punched Gaara hard in the abdomen!

But this is not over yet!

At this moment, Xiao Li actually used his left hand to pull the white belt on his body.

Looking at Gaara flying towards him, Rock Lee also shouted angrily.

This move was the final blow! Rock Lee used his fists and feet to attack Gaara directly.

"Rirenka!"

Gaara smashed a huge hole in the ground, and Rock Lee felt severe pain and fell to the ground.

Gaara was indeed seriously injured, but he did not lose his combat capability!

He had just crushed the sand gourd behind him into pieces and used it as sand to protect himself, but at this time Xiao Li no longer had the ability to fight back.

Gaara used the Sand Coffin to kill Rock Lee. After breaking Rock Lee's left hand and left leg, he wanted to kill Rock Lee completely.

Seeing that Rock Lee had fainted, countless sands rushed towards him.

"Oh no!" Kanon was about to rescue Lee again, but Might Guy on the side was faster than her!

Snap! Might Guy clapped his hands, and countless sands flew away.

"Why...save him..." Gaara asked Might Guy in confusion.

"Because this guy is my most beloved subordinate."

Gaara turned around and was about to leave, just as Hayate was about to announce that Gaara was the winner.

Rock Lee stood up trembling all over...his left hand and left leg hanging slightly.

"I haven't... I haven't lost yet..."

Looking at Rock Lee like this, Kanon seemed to remember her past self...her expression was also very serious.

Might Guy walked up to Xiao Li and spoke softly to him.

"Xiao Li, that's enough...it's over."

"Your body has..."

Might Guy had tears in his eyes, and he stood up after looking at Rock Lee who was already unconscious.

"Xiao Li...you...even if you lose consciousness, do you still want to prove your ninja way?!"

Kakashi took off his forehead protector and Kanon also closed her Sharingan.

"Is he unconscious?" Kakashi said with a hint of regret.

"Xiao Li, you are very strong... I have seen your ninja way..."

Kanon's voice made Naruto and Sakura beside them fall silent.

Might Guy hugged Rock Lee, tears welling up in his eyes.

The only things that can make a man cry are his parents, his beloved girl and brother, and the unwavering perseverance displayed by his disciples!

"Lee...you are already an amazing ninja!"

But the reality is still cruel, and Hayate finally announced the victory of the winner Gaara.

The medical team came in to check and told everyone the unfortunate news.

"Due to muscle tear, broken bones, and other reasons, Xiao Li may not be able to continue to be a ninja in the future."
