Chapter 285 Temporary Team
“Pah pah pah!!!…”
The violent impact shook the air.
Accompanied by a violent impact of force, the two figures suddenly separated and each retreated dozens of steps.
The two men stood facing each other, letting the sand from the Sand Village blow across their cheeks, staring into each other's eyes, filled with fighting intent.
"You are very good." The tall young man was wearing a rough sleeveless training suit covered with dust, and his purple-gray medium-length hair was blown by the wind and sand.
Opposite him, a burnt green figure stood facing the wind.
The watermelon-shaped head that still shines brightly under the wind and sand, the eye-catching round eyes and thick eyebrows. It is Rock Lee.
At this moment, Rock Lee crossed his legs, stretched one hand forward, and assumed the most familiar fighting posture. Looking at the young man opposite him, his eyes were filled with a solemn look.
Rock Lee said, "Thank you for the compliment. Shira, among all the ninjas I've ever seen, your Taijutsu is among the best."
"Ranked at the front..." Sand Village Ninja Shiro whispered to himself.
Although he is not a conceited person, Zi Luo also has pride in his heart.
Shira believes that there is no better taijutsu ninja in Sand Village than himself. Although the chic young man in front of him comes from the more powerful Konoha Village, is it a bit exaggerated to say that there are many taijutsu ninjas in Konoha who are stronger than himself?
What's more, in the previous fight, the physical ninja Rock Lee, who had impressed him a little, had actually lost to him.
The opponent's predictive boxing skills were indeed beyond his expectations and were able to withstand his silent fist.
However, his acupuncture had already ended the battle in advance. Without other means, the opponent would not have been able to hold out under his Seven Days Calling Technique.
Now, the reason why the opponent was still able to pose for a fight safely was also because he showed mercy and released the acupoint pressing technique he had just used.
He longed for a fight.
He longed for the other party to exert his full strength and have a pure battle between physical ninjas with him.
In the Sand Village, he has no one like him. Apart from Gaara, there are few ninjas who can compete with him in absolute physical skills.
He has been lonely for too long.
Therefore, even though he is currently in the Chunin Exams, and even though getting injured would make things very troublesome, he still wants to be willful for once.
Have a good fight with Rock Lee in front of you.
Zi Luo raised his voice and said, "Li. Please use the method you failed to use just now."
"Let me see how wonderful Konoha's taijutsu is."
Rock Lee looked at his opponent with a serious look.
As smart as he is, he has seen through the other party's methods and ideas.
He unblocked the acupressure technique on his body so that he could perform the Eight Gates Ninjutsu which had failed before.
The purpose was nothing more than a hearty physical contest.
Zi Luo, I recognize you.
That being the case.
"as you wish."
As he uttered the four words, Rock Lee clenched his fists, squatted on his knees, and his face began to turn red.
Work hard!
"Ah!!!~"
In the world of yellow sand, the young man’s long roar echoed.
As the green light rose, a strong aura spread out, causing clouds of dust to fly.
Tens of meters away.
Several people who were watching the fight quickly covered their faces to block the wind and sand, but those who were slow were inevitably splashed with sand into their mouths.
"Ahem! Pah! Pah! Pah!!"
A big-eyed loli looked unhappy and pouted twice, complaining: "Really, we should fight if we want to, why are you suddenly throwing sand!"
"Hate!"
"Yemu, it was obviously your carelessness." A slender, long-legged queen with netted pattern said from the side.
Ye Mu curled his lips: "How could I, Qian, why don't you stand on my side?"
"Same here Shira, there's no time to not fight, what if you get hurt, what about the Chunin Exams?"
Qian sighed and said, "You know his temper. How can the two of us defeat him?"
Yemu pouted and said, "Ah, I'm so angry~"
"I hope Shira can move quickly and defeat that Konoha ninja in green tights."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dissatisfied voice sounded not far away: "Hey, isn't what you said a bit harsh?"
"What do you mean by knock him down quickly? Our Xiao Li is also very powerful!"
Chihe Yeme turned around and found that it was the beautiful pink-haired girl from Konoha, who was looking at them with dissatisfaction.
Ye Mu refused to give in and said, "Why, did I say something wrong?"
"Obviously Zi Luo is more powerful. I know him best. If he hadn't shown mercy, that weirdo in green wouldn't have survived until now."
"You're talking nonsense!" Haruno Sakura's expression became more and more dissatisfied.
Although Rock Lee's passionate pursuit of her at the beginning made her unwilling to get too close to him most of the time, but when they were out, they were just partners from the same village. She had a bad temper and couldn't stand anyone slandering people from the same village.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Li is not an ordinary Taijutsu ninja. It's still uncertain who will win or lose between the two of them! If you ask me, Xiao Li will definitely not be the loser!"
"You're talking nonsense! Zi Luo is the best!"
"Xiao Li is also amazing!"
"Zi Luo is the best!"
"Xiao Li is also... also amazing!"
"Zi Luo is the most handsome! The most gentle! The loser is definitely the one in green!"
"Xiao Li...Xiao Li is the best!...We were talking about fighting, why are you talking in such a confusing way!" Haruno Sakura felt that the other party was making trouble.
However, seeing that the other person was not even as tall as her chin, she could only hold back her anger and not fight with him.
"Sakura, stop talking, let's just watch. How about... some potato chips?" Akimichi Choji advised.
"Don't worry about it, Choji! Sakura, ignore him and continue!" Yamanaka Ino supports Haruno Sakura.
When she was in Konoha, she and Haruno Sakura didn't get along most of the time. However, in this Chunin Exam, due to the requirement of forming a team of three, and the objective condition that teammate Nara Shikamaru had already been promoted to Chunin, their team could only invite Haruno Sakura to join and form a three-person team for the Sunagakure Chunin Exam.
When we are out and about, of course we need to present a united front!
She is not the only one who has the habit of staying together when going out. In fact, under the constant instillation of the Will of Fire, most of the ninjas of Konoha, regardless of whether they are harmonious in the village or not, will unite when they go out.
For example, she and Haruno Sakura.
After being interrupted by her, Haruno Sakura no longer had the heart to argue with Yeme and withdrew her gaze.
In the recent period, Yamanaka Ino's attitude towards her has changed a lot, which sometimes makes her feel confused. Since the two of them fell out because of Uchiha Sasuke many years ago, Yamanaka Ino's attitude towards her has never been as warm as it is now.
[Is it because I want to learn medical ninjutsu, or...] Thinking this, Haruno Sakura turned her gaze to the two people beside her.
Before leaving for the Chunin Exams, he received enthusiastic invitations from two teams.
One, of course, is the current Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji, and the other is Might Guy's Team 3. After Tenten and his teacher went out for training and travel, only Hyuga Neji and Rock Lee's Team 3 were left, and they also fell into the dilemma of not being able to participate in the Chunin Exam due to insufficient number of people.
Then, they all turned their eyes to the lonely Haruno Sakura.
For this reason, the attitudes of the four people from the two teams towards her changed greatly, and they became a little too enthusiastic.
But after careful consideration, Haruno Sakura still joined Yamanaka Ino's team. There was no other reason, just to keep a certain distance from Rock Lee.
Otherwise she was afraid.
