Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

"Opponents have been assigned."

"Then please have the first pair of players come to the stage!"

Moonlight Gale raised his hand and announced loudly.

"Good luck," Temari gently encouraged her younger brother beside her, and helped him tidy his clothes.

Gaara simply responded with a "hmm," but his eyes were crystal clear, as if all the resentment he had felt in the past had vanished without a trace.

On the other side, Rock Lee paced back and forth excitedly.

"I'll go first!"

He said something to Neji and Tenten.

Just as the two were about to go on stage, a voice suddenly came.

"Wait a minute, you two!"

Gaara and Rock Lee paused, turning back in confusion.

[The rain stopped between the sky]

Like tears welling up in my eyes.

This may be the last time we meet.

Whether it was a visual or auditory hallucination or not, they seemed to hear a sudden background music.

And there was someone there dancing a strange dance.

"What's wrong, Yuzuki?"

Rock Lee scratched his head in confusion, and Gaara gave him the same look.

He recognized the person; the other person was Naruto's good friend, and Gaara often heard Naruto mention his name.

"Is there something you need?" Gaara asked softly.

"hey-hey……"

Shinomiya Yuuki walked up with a playful smile and patted them on the shoulders.

With a mysterious air, he said, "Since fate has brought you two together again, let's dance something a little more energetic."

"Let the common people see the strength of us genin!"

Gaara and Rock Lee both looked completely bewildered.

"Uh... Yuzuki, what are you talking about?"

Yuzuki didn't explain much, but simply turned them around and gave them a gentle push.

A mysterious smile on his face:

"Let's dance!"

"As for what I'm talking about... you'll find out in a bit."

The two blinked, then walked onto the battle stage with a head full of questions.

Just as Rock Lee and Gaara stepped onto the battle stage, a strange message suddenly flooded their minds. This startled them both, and then they felt a power awakening within their bodies.

This newfound power filled every inch of their skin like a tidal wave.

"Battle begins!"

Before they could figure out what was going on, the match officially began with a signal from the referee, Moonlight Gale!

Rock Lee immediately snapped back to reality; the most important thing now was the match in front of him. His gaze sharpened, and he quickly assumed a fighting stance, his right hand behind his back and his left arm raised high.

With a powerful push from his feet, Lee Rock propelled himself forward.

He appeared in front of Gaara in an instant.

However, Gaara stood still with his arms crossed, neither dodging nor defending.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Unable to figure out his opponent's tactics, Rock Lee decided to test the waters first. He suddenly swung his leg, kicking hard at his opponent!

But just then, the sand floating around Gaara started to move!

He blocked Rock Lee's swift kick with perfect accuracy.

The sand easily neutralized the kick.

Seeing this, Lee Rock was somewhat surprised and landed again to adjust his posture.

"To defeat me, you must first overcome the power given to me by my mother."

Gaara said this and raised his finger, revealing a few fine grains of sand swirling between his fingertips.

It seemed to have a spirit, gently flowing in his palm.

Rock Lee scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"You mean... I'd have to be faster than this automatic defense system to reach you?"

"That's roughly it. Can you do it?"

Gaara countered with a slight smile, "If you can't do it, you can just admit defeat."

But at this moment, facing the provocation, Rock Lee did not lose heart; instead, his eyes became even more determined.

"Alright then! Watch me prove to you the power of youthful passion!"

Then, he turned and shouted towards the outside of the field:

"Teacher Kai!"

He was met with an encouraging thumbs-up from off the court by Might Guy: "Burn it all!"

After receiving approval, Rock Lee immediately removed the enormous weighted gear he usually wore during training.

The sound of him throwing the metal rings aside was deafening, creating two deep craters in the ground, demonstrating their astonishing weight.

The crowd erupted in gasps of surprise, and even the usually composed Kakashi couldn't help but whisper a rebuke to Might Guy for going too far.

"It seems you do indeed possess extraordinary resilience."

Looking at the boy in front of him, even Gaara, who was usually expressionless, couldn't help but show a hint of approval.

Fine, soft yet incredibly hard golden sand poured out from the gourd-shaped opening behind him...

With a chuckle, Rock Lee made no attempt to hide his shortcomings: "It's because I can neither use ninjutsu nor master genjutsu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rock Lee vanished into thin air.

The next moment, he appeared behind Gaara like lightning and threw a swift punch.

However, this attack was blocked by the automatically formed sand wall.

"So fast……"

Gaara was secretly alarmed, unable to catch any of Rock Lee's movements.

With his weight removed, Lee Rock's speed increased to an astonishing level.

They launched continuous attacks around Gaara, catching his opponent off guard with each strike.

Gaara could only barely hold on, forced to retreat step by step.

"Since that's the case..."

Finding an opportunity, Gaara slammed his palm into the ground, and instantly countless quicksand surged from the ground like raging waves!

In just a few seconds, the entire area was filled with sand.

Since we can't catch a glimpse of him, let's just turn this whole space into his trap.

“A mass funeral in the sandstorm!” he whispered.

At the command, the desert instantly boiled over, frantically devouring everything around it.

At this point, Rock Lee no longer dared to attack rashly and could only rely on high-speed movement to evade fatal attacks.

But this is clearly not a long-term solution...

Seeing himself like a small boat struggling in the ocean, on the verge of capsizing at any moment, Rock Lee decided to use his last resort:

"Eight Gates Formation - Gate of Shock..."

With a low growl, azure energy surged violently around his body, unleashing terrifying power.

The powerful airflow forcefully pushed aside the surging sea of ​​sand in front of them!

In the stands, Might Guy, who witnessed everything, was dumbfounded. "Lee! Stop right now! Your body can't withstand the power of the Gate of Shock!"

But Rock Lee seemed unaffected, instead feeling an unprecedented surge of energy.

"Teacher Kai, I'm fine."

"I feel fantastic right now!"

Rock Lee felt his body brimming with power!

Moreover, he didn't find it difficult to bear at all and could easily control this power.

You know, he used to have to bear tremendous pressure just to open five gates, but now it's a world of difference.

He wondered if Yu Yue had given him some kind of blessing when she patted his shoulder earlier.

Without thinking too much, he focused his mind and gathered energy from the air in his palms.

With a roar, a massive white tiger-shaped shockwave shot out, hurtling towards the opponent not far away.

All obstacles encountered along the way, including the layers of sand and gravel, were easily pushed aside to the sides.

The scene was breathtaking, as spectacular as the Parting Sea.

"Hokage, you call this a genin?"

On the high platform, Luo Sha could no longer hold back. He stood up abruptly, his usually aloof face now covered in black lines.

That level of attack would require him to expend considerable effort to recover from; how could it be an attack delivered by a mere genin?!

Before Minato Namikaze could speak, the Raikage spoke first.
