Chapter 96 - Chapter 96: Death Forest 2

"The Konoha Whirlwind!"

"The Great Konoha Whirlwind!"

Deep in the Forest of Death, Rock Lee, clad in his signature green tight-fitting suit, exerted his physical prowess with all his might, launching a furious assault on Ren. Ren, however, moved his hands with effortless ease, deflecting every one of Lee's rapid attacks. It was Ren's idea to let Rock Lee attack him. To truly understand a person's strength, fighting them is the clearest and most intuitive way.

Deep in the Forest of Death, Rock Lee was fighting heartily. Might Guy, who was observing from the side, nodded with satisfaction, seeing the clear progress in Rock Lee's strength. Tenten was bored, idly teasing the insects on the ground. Hyūga Neji... his Byakugan stared intently at Ren's every move. He managed to defuse Rock Lee's attack so easily... If I was against Rock Lee... I couldn't do it!

As the guidance battle between Rock Lee and Ren continued smoothly, Hyūga Neji, feeling a little out of place, stood up and said, "Ren... can I also ask you for advice? Can you fight me?"

In the midst of deflecting another of Rock Lee's attacks, Ren turned to look at Neji. "Of course, but you'll have to wait until Rock Lee and I are done."

Hyūga Neji... Although I'm not familiar with him, he's also a member of Guy-sensei's team, and he came to visit me at my house with Guy, Rock Lee, and Tenten.Of course, I couldn't refuse.But the primary and secondary must be distinguished.Rock Lee was first, and guiding Rock Lee... I'll try my best to give practical solutions. Hyūga Neji... well, it won't be too sloppy.

The sky was getting darker; it was getting late. If Hyūga Neji was still to fight... time wasn't abundant. After all this, Ren planned to invite Guy and his party for a light meal. Guy-sensei and Rock Lee had specially come to me, specially to visit me; I naturally wanted to receive Guy and Rock Lee warmly. This was the proper etiquette between teachers, students, and friends!

"Lee, it's getting late. Bring out your real skills."

"Yes, Big Brother Ren!" Rock Lee and Ren separated by a few meters, then Rock Lee removed the weights he had been wearing on his leggings.

Swish!

The weights dropped to the ground with two loud thuds. Dust splashed, momentarily clouding the air in the Forest of Death.

"This..." "Lee is carrying such a heavy load?!" Hyūga Neji's mouth opened wide in shock, and he didn't snap back to his senses for a long time. Is this still the 'dead last'?

"Big Brother Ren, be careful!" Rock Lee said in an excited voice. Ren nodded, and then Rock Lee's figure moved. He was attacking!

Swoosh—

Rock Lee's attack speed was comparable to the speed of a kunai's flight, dizzyingly fast! Seeing Rock Lee's figure suddenly appearing from the east, and then from the west... Hyūga Neji's Byakugan couldn't keep up for half a second!

So fast! To the point where I can barely keep up with him from the perspective of a bystander! Rock Lee... actually hides it! A drop of sweat seeped out from Hyūga Neji's forehead. To meet Rock Lee... even if I have to use Gentle Fist's Eight Trigrams: Rotation... it seems that I can't win, right?

With Rock Lee's extremely fast continuous attack frequency... he could defend once with Rotation, but not for long! Unless he kept using Rotation non-stop! But he didn't have enough chakra to use it continuously, so he wasn't allowed to do this! Hyūga Neji clenched his fists even tighter. As the former top student of the Ninja Academy... he couldn't even beat Rock Lee, the "dead last"!

Decadent, I am so decadent!

With his convenient Byakugan, Hyūga Neji also discovered one thing: Ren... After Rock Lee's speed increased by several layers, he still stood in place in the face of Rock Lee's frequent high-speed attacks, and he resolved Rock Lee's attacks without taking a single step!

Ren... How strong is this guy?!

"Not bad!" Ren, who was fighting against Rock Lee, praised him. "You have enough stamina for such frequent attacks, and your speed doesn't fade."

"Rock Lee, it seems that your weights can be increased again." During the battle, Ren put forward a suggestion for Rock Lee's training.

"Yes, Big Brother Ren!" Hearing Ren's words, Rock Lee's figure stopped.

"By the way, Eight Gates Formation (Hachimon Tonkō)... Guy-sensei taught it to you, right?" Ren suddenly asked.

Rock Lee nodded. "Have you learned it?"

"I learned it."

"How many gates can you open?"

"Now... I can barely reach the Fourth Gate."

Ren nodded and said, "Then open the Second Gate first, let me see!"

"What?" Rock Lee was surprised.

Ren asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Haven't you practiced it yet?"

"Ah, no no..."

"There's nothing wrong with the cultivation of the Eight Gates Formation, Big Brother Ren, don't worry..."

"Only..." Rock Lee was a little confused.

Ren asked, "Only?"

"This move is what I prepared for Neji..."

Hyūga Neji: !?!

Rock Lee still has a trump card?! After he unloads the weights, I can't beat Rock Lee. He still has trump cards, and is he still ready to deal with me? Hyūga Neji wanted to curse.

"Hahaha, Lee, it's okay! Ren asks you to use it as you please!" Guy, who was beside him, laughed loudly.

Upon receiving Guy's signal, Rock Lee also nodded.

"Big Brother Ren, be careful!"

"Eight Gates Formation, open!"

"Gate of Opening, open!"

"Gate of Healing, open!"

In an instant, Rock Lee opened two gates in a row, and a large amount of chakra rose from him. For a while, Rock Lee's speed was raised several levels again!

Boom, boom, boom!

The dull sound of fists and feet touching. Hyūga Neji's Byakugan could hardly keep up with Rock Lee's movements! And Ren... Although Rock Lee was relentless, he had to take it seriously after opening the Eight Gates Formation! Ren concentrated.

After a while, Ren saw that Rock Lee's physical condition did not have any adverse reactions, so he said: "Rock Lee, open the Third Gate!"

"Yes, Big Brother Ren!"

"Gate of Life, open!" Once again, the chakra on Rock Lee rose like a fire. Rock Lee was faster! Another level! Hyūga Neji could only occasionally capture Rock Lee's figure!

After opening the three gates, Rock Lee was extremely powerful. Just relying on pure physical skills... Ren was still a bit challenged. For example... he could no longer resolve Rock Lee's moves by standing still like before.

"Well... the Third Gate is also in a stable state." "Little Lee, I'll take a look at the Fourth Gate!"

"Good!" With an order, Rock Lee listened to Ren's words and suddenly opened the Fourth Gate.

"Gate of Pain, open!" Rock Lee's chakra doubled again. With the blessing of a lot of chakra, Rock Lee's speed... was even faster!

Hyūga Neji's Byakugan could only capture the afterimage of Rock Lee... To this, Hyūga Neji's usually stoic face twitched several times. He had something he wanted to say... Hyūga Neji: How can I be so talented, let you, Rock Lee, keep such a hand and prepare such a big move for me?
