Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"Fuel Whip!"

While being attacked by Lee, Luffy kicked out.

As it pulled its head back, it also aimed at Xiao Li's position.

"Headbutt!"

But Xiao Li disappeared from the spot once again.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared beside Luffy.

call out--

At this moment, the bandages on Xiao Li's arms were untied.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

He kicked out.

It hits Luffy again.

Luffy also realized that he couldn't attack from the same spot.

Immediately, they rushed forward.

However, he soon discovered that it seemed that doing so was useless.

No matter how fast he speeds up.

Xiao Li was like a ghost, relentlessly pursuing him.

The attack hit him, but it did not cause any actual damage.

But my physical strength is rapidly depleting.

Li, who was moving quickly, suddenly leaped up and spun several times in mid-air.

One kick fell.

boom--! ! !

He struck Luffy on the head with his heel.

hum-

Luffy's neck stretched out again, and then his head slammed into the ground.

Xiao Li also retreated backwards.

"Jet Stamp—!!!"

Luffy gradually saw through Lee's actions.

He seized the opportunity the moment Xiao Li retreated.

Kick out.

Seeing the flying foot, Xiao Li remained calm and turned his head to dodge it.

But at that moment, Luffy's body bounced off.

When Luffy activates Gear Second, his speed is even faster than Rock Lee's current speed when attacking at long distances.

At close range, I couldn't keep up with Xiao Li.

Of course, Li is not famous yet.

"Rubber—Machine Gun!!"

Luffy's body in the instant it flew away.

The fists that had been left in place were suddenly pulled back.

Immediately afterwards, he fired a series of rubber gun shots at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li quickly threw out his fist to defend himself.

More bandages are showing on my arm.

"In that case...we'll have to use Lotus Flower."

After confirming, Xiao Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Realize yourself."

"This time, even if you're made of rubber, you can't stop us!"

whoosh-

After saying that, Xiao Li unleashed his full power.

Once again, it disappeared from Luffy's sight.

"Huh?!"

Luffy blinked, looking completely puzzled.

But the next moment.

Luffy was shocked.

Xiao Li appeared around him once again.

However, no other attacks were used.

Luffy instinctively sensed danger.

An immature form of Observation Haki appeared.

He saw that he was going to be kicked by Xiao Li.

"not good!"

Luffy tried to lean back, raising his hands to protect his chin.

However, the scene he foresaw in his perception did not occur.

While he was in a daze.

Lee, circling around Luffy, has once again broken his current speed limit.

He was about to attack, but when he saw Luffy raise his hand to block, he decisively stopped.

Li, who was moving at high speed, had an amazing reaction time.

boom--! ! !

next second.

"not good!"

Luffy's Observation Haki allows him to foresee his own future once again.

But it was too late to react.

Xiao Li's feet have arrived.

It hit him right on the chin.

He kicked his head off.

The neck kept stretching.

As he crouched down, Xiao Li swept his leg across the room.

Luffy's legs were kicked to the side, and in an instant, his rubber body rose up along with his head.

"It's not over yet!"

Xiao Li let out a low growl and slammed his hands into the ground.

He kicked out with both feet quickly.

After a series of kicks, Luffy's body flew into the air.

Meanwhile, the bandages on Lee's arm firmly restrained Luffy.

whoosh-

Lee appeared behind Luffy, grabbing his body which was covered in bandages.

"Lotus Flower—!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lee, holding Luffy, spun rapidly with his head facing the ground, like a high-speed spinning top.

Luffy's eyes were spinning.

Rumble—!!!

The two people, spinning at high speed, landed on the ground.

It instantly pierced through the Wood Release body, creating a large crater.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

call out--

Xiao Li was sent flying backwards.

He squatted on the ground, his breathing becoming rapid.

At this moment, within the platform formed by Wood Release, Luffy's body was twisted to an exaggerated degree.

His eyes were filled with circles; he was clearly dizzy from being spun around.

boo——

But because he was made of rubber, his body recovered and the second rotation began.

"Ugh!"

Xiao Li immediately stepped back.

His eye twitched slightly.

"Is the Lotus Flower still not working?"

Looking at Luffy, who had transformed into a spinning top and was spraying bombs, Lee frowned.

Lotus, a double-edged sword.

It puts too much strain on the human body.

Even now, Xiao Li felt sore all over.

After a while, Luffy recovered and also became angry.

Xiao Li slowly stood up.

Luffy then bit his own finger.

call--!!

Luffy took a deep breath and exhaled sharply.

His fist immediately grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"hateful!!!"

As his fist continued to grow larger, Luffy charged towards Rock Lee.

Xiao Li's lips curled slightly.

He felt a familiar gaze fixed on him.

"Teacher...the teacher is still alive!"

"He must be watching me... Just based on that alone, I can't hold back any longer!"

"Teacher Kai is a blood-red beast... then I will inherit his azure beast!"

Seeing Luffy's massive fist hurtling towards them, and Luffy's furious rage.

Xiao Li said in a deep voice, "The Lotus Festival in Konoha will open again."

"The Azure Beast of Konoha will not disappear!"

At this moment, the restrictions on the flow of chakra within Lee's body, starting from his head, are being lifted in various parts of his body.

"No matter what, next time, I won't let you have the strength to stand up again."

Xiao Li held his hands protectively in front of him.

A large amount of chakra appeared around his body.

Luffy's giant fist arrived.

Despite being enveloped by the chakra, Lee did not lose his ability to move.

The technique of instantaneous movement.

That's right, the current Lee is no longer a simple taijutsu ninja who can't use ninjutsu.

"Everyone won the battle... including Teacher Kai. Even if we encounter our nemesis, I can't be the only one to lose in this situation."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The rubble and wood chips on the ground were constantly being blasted away by the chakra erupting from Lee's body.

Luffy calmed down as well.

The attack failed once again.

At the same time, Xiao Li's aura made him uneasy.

He lacks the imposing presence and the power of Garp.

Xiao Li's skin gradually turned red.

The blood vessels on his face bulged.

"Now is the time to uphold my ninja way!"

"The Third Gate—The Gate of Life—Opens!"

Luffy looked at Lee, whose skin color had become similar to his own.

However, Luffy's skin looked more like it had been scalded by hot water.

Xiao Li's, on the other hand, looked like it had been burned.

"Fourth Gate - Gate of Injury - Open!!!"

"Drink it—!!!"

boom--!!!

At that moment, Xiao Li made a move.

The path they took, which had become a support platform, was all plowed into a deep pit by Lee.

hum-

Luffy's eyes widened.

The next second, a tremendous force came from his chin again.

The immature Observation Haki was activated once again.

However, the time flow in the future we see is almost identical to that in the real world!

His swollen fist was deflating, the air coming out of Luffy's mouth.

Luffy wanted to use this to change the trajectory of his flight after being knocked away.

However, Xiao Li used too much force.

Moreover, the attacks came one after another!

At the same time, this lotus flower is not simply a free fall from the sky!

"Fifth Gate - Closed Gate - Open!!!"

At this moment, with all five doors open, Xiao Li's speed alone is enough to cause air to rip up the ground as he moves.

"It's not over yet~!"

"Sixth Gate - View Gate - Open!!!"

With no more limitations on combat power, Xiao Li unleashes his full potential.

Whoosh—!

I felt the shockwave coming from above my head.

Luffy's pupils contracted.

This power surpassed that of every opponent he had ever encountered.

The sheer force of the air currents generated during the operation alone was enough to terrify anyone.

"Luffy!!!"

The fully-form Susanoo, which was being controlled by Sasuke, kept slashing at Ace and cried out in concern.

But Ace is currently preoccupied with his own problems.

There was simply no way to support Luffy.

Susanoo slashed down again and again.

He couldn't dodge it, and he didn't have the strength to dodge it anymore.

The only way to evade attacks is by transforming into an element.

However... every time he evaded by transforming into an element, a trace of Amaterasu's black flames would accumulate within his body.

The ever-burning Amaterasu is a being that can even devour fire.

Ace could already smell death.

On the other side, after Hawkeye unleashed a slash, Vista also lost his fighting ability.

Both swords, along with both arms, were severed at the root.

Hawkeye glanced at him expressionlessly, then turned to look at Tobirama Senju.

At this moment, Tobirama Senju sat atop Marco's body, watching the battle between Lee and Luffy.

Clearly, Tobirama Senju had ended the battle much earlier.

Marco couldn't even escape, let alone fight back.

Over there, Lee, having opened the sixth gate, appeared above Luffy.

Luffy wanted to take advantage of the situation and attack to create distance.

But at high speed, even turning around was difficult for him.

The body is made of rubber, which can indeed withstand a lot of force.

At this moment, however, the drawbacks also became apparent.

Turning around requires a lot of physical strength.

At that moment, Xiao Li threw a punch.

The fist was so fast it was invisible to the naked eye.

Boom-! ! !

He threw a punch.

Numerous shockwaves erupted from all sides, spreading out in concentric circles.

Luffy's body trembled violently, and the stretching ability of the Gum-Gum Fruit 'disappeared'.

His body slammed toward the ground at tremendous speed.

"It's not over yet."

Xiao Li's figure was as blurry as a ghost.

One moment it was above Luffy's head, the next it appeared beneath Luffy.

The lingering image of Xiao Li still lingered in the sky.

While suspended in mid-air, his rubber body was still unable to "digest" the force of Xiao Li's punch.

It's impossible to do anything at all.

"The Morning Peacock!!!"

Xiao Li threw out both fists.

The speed was so fast that the arms "disappeared".

In this world, flames generated by friction are easier to create and are also more massive.

In an instant, a fireball attack carrying a shockwave landed on Luffy's back.

In an instant, Luffy was engulfed by flames and impact.

Numerous fist-shaped dents appeared on its back.

The flames dyed the sky red, as dazzling as a peacock's tail feathers.

Li clenched his fists as he watched Luffy rise into the air.

"So... the newly born Azure Beast of Konoha..."

"Eight Gates Formation, Seventh Gate, Gate of Shock—Open!!!"

Rumble—!!!

Xiao Li's body has changed.

The body emits blue vapor produced by the evaporation of sweat.

hum-

The footsteps moved slightly.

The next instant, six Little Lis appeared.

Each body is somewhat blurry.

Clearly, it's neither a clone technique nor a shadow clone.

It was merely an afterimage.

Bang bang bang—!!

It happened almost the instant the afterimage appeared.

Luffy changed his flight direction once again.

Li, with six afterimages, continued to attack him.

"This is the final blow!"

Xiao Li raised his fist.

Outside the blue vapor on the surface of the body, a large amount of white gas appeared, like a shock wave.

"Daytime Tiger—Ritual Lotus—!!!"

That's right, it's the Sunflower Manual version of the Daytime Tiger...
