From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Seeing this, Rock Lee's eyes also revealed a fierce fighting spirit, and he responded in the same way: "I didn't expect to meet Naruto-kun so soon. I'm so happy. Then let's have a youthful showdown between taijutsu ninjas, Naruto-kun!"

'Tch, what an easily impulsive idiot.'

Seeing Lee's energetic demeanor, Naruto pursed his lips, but the passion within him was also slightly affected.

"Alright! Let's show them the power of taijutsu ninjas!"

A very energetic young man.

Seeing the two looking so energetic, Moonlight Gale nodded in satisfaction and announced, "Then, let the competition begin!"

"Watch out, Naruto!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lee transformed into a blur, and a gust of wind accompanied his sweeping kick towards Naruto.

"Wait a moment!"

Naruto easily dodged Lee's attack and said to Lee with a displeased look, "You're still wearing weights, and you're trying to fight me like this? Are you looking down on me?"

"You were actually able to detect it?"

Xiao Li was taken aback.

"Tch!" Naruto snorted lightly and said indifferently, "Your feet sink slightly when you step on the ground. Although you control it very well, I can still see something unnatural in your walking."

"As expected of Naruto-kun, but..."

Xiao Li was silent for a while, and before he could finish speaking, Might Guy on the platform spoke up loudly.

"Xiao Li, take it off!"

"But Mr. Kai, didn't you say that you could only do it when you were protecting your friends...?"

“It’s okay, I approve!” Matt Kai gave a thumbs up, a white light flashing between his teeth.

"In the passionate martial arts duel of youth, giving it your all is the best way to respect your opponent!"

"Don't leave any regrets in your youth, Li!"

"Hi! Teacher Kai!"

Xiao Li responded loudly, then removed the weight from his body. With two loud bangs, the huge weight smashed into the ground, creating a crater.

"Alright, that makes things much easier. Come on, Naruto!"

"Go for it, Li! Youth is all about going all out!"

Matt Kai waved his fist excitedly and shouted loudly.

Swish!

With a single step, Xiao Li shot out like an arrow at its maximum speed, so fast that it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Hmph! Now that's more like it."

Facing Lee's sweeping leg, Naruto showed no sign of panic. He stood firm, threw a punch, and created a series of shockwaves as it surged towards Lee's attack.

With a loud bang, a circular shockwave, visible to the naked eye, erupted from the point of collision between the two. It was a visual effect created by the compression of air after the fierce collision of forces.

What a great power!

Xiao Li's expression changed slightly. This attack seemed to be evenly matched, but in reality, he had lost.

Because Naruto was standing still, his attack during his sprint was fueled by considerable inertia and impact.

"Not bad, thick eyebrows, keep it up!"

Upon witnessing Lee's superb taijutsu skills, Naruto couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He lowered his stance, turned around, and launched another attack.

Bang bang bang!

On the scene, the two transformed into two indistinct afterimages, constantly battling, with bursts of cracking fists and kicks echoing continuously.

Leaf Whirlwind, Leaf Gale, Shadow Dance Leaf, Thousand Years... and various other Leaf Fluid Techniques were continuously unleashed, leaving the crowd on the platform dumbfounded.

"These two kids are really strong," Kurenai Yuhi remarked from the platform, then smiled brightly and asked Asuma, "Asuma, who do you think will win?"

"Naruto, I guess." Asuma pondered for a while before replying, "Naruto has a very good physique and his chakra reserves far exceed those of ordinary people. If their taijutsu levels are similar, and if Rock Lee doesn't have any other trump cards, he will definitely lose to Naruto in the end."

“That makes sense.” Kurenai Yuhi nodded. The Fourth Hokage’s son, a member of the Uzumaki clan, the Nine-Tails’ Jinchuriki—Naruto’s identity was known to all the Jonin in their year. No, it should be said that everyone except…

Thinking of this, Kurenai glanced at Might Guy, who had a fanatical expression, and remained silent for a long time.

"I didn't expect that Kakashi and Guy's two students would be so strong in taijutsu. Rock Lee is one thing, since his teacher is Guy, but where did Naruto learn his taijutsu from?"

Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat puzzled. Although Kakashi's taijutsu was also quite good, he didn't have the ability to teach such a taijutsu disciple.

"He must have used the Dragon God Fluid Technique."

"Dragon God Style!?"

Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback and said in confusion, "That senior was in the last Shinobi World War... I see."

Before she could finish speaking, Kurenai Yuhi figured it out herself. Asuma smiled sheepishly and made a shushing gesture.

"Kakashi, how did you manage to train such a disciple?"

Seeing that Rock Lee was gradually being suppressed by Naruto, Might Guy remained silent for a while, then turned to Kakashi, who was standing calmly to the side, and asked him a question.

Kakashi glanced at Guy with his deadpan eyes and said indifferently, "It's none of my business. I didn't give that kid much guidance."

Kakashi was telling the truth, but Might Guy misunderstood.

"As expected of Kakashi, my eternal rival. Just a little guidance and his disciple's taijutsu has reached this level?"

Kakashi shrugged and spread his hands at Gai's misunderstanding, offering no further rebuttal.

"That damn Kakashi, he's ignoring me again!"

Might Guy was momentarily stunned, but quickly rallied, mimicking Kakashi's composed demeanor. He raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Although your student is very strong, Kakashi, I believe Lee will be the ultimate victor. After all, he still has one more secret technique, Kakashi!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Kakashi's expression changed slightly, and he asked incredulously, "You even taught him that technique?"

“Not bad!” Might Guy nodded and said in a deep voice, “I’ve always said that kid is a genius of hard work, but he’s actually not only a genius of hard work, but also a genius of physical skills!”

"This forbidden technique was originally meant to protect his comrades, but if Xiao Li can't unleash his full power in this kind of passionate youthful martial arts duel, he will definitely have regrets."

"Let the lotus of Konoha bloom, Lee!"

boom!

On the field, after only a few rounds of fighting with Naruto, Rock Lee, who had been suppressed, suddenly had a surge of chakra in his body, and an invisible and fierce wave of energy roared out from his side!

The impact of the chakra shockwave momentarily halted Naruto's relentless pursuit, but he managed to turn around and regain his footing.

"What kind of martial arts is this!?"

Naruto's expression changed slightly. Seeing that Rock Lee had suddenly unleashed such a powerful chakra fluctuation, his tone became more serious.

"This is the Eight Gates Formation, a unique technique that Teacher Kai taught me!"

Xiao Li's face was flushed, and his veins were bulging, making him look somewhat ferocious.

"This move was originally intended to defeat Neji, but I would be very disappointed if I couldn't have a satisfying battle with you, Naruto!"

"it is good!"

Sensing Lee's determination and fighting spirit, Naruto's blood began to boil. He made a steel fist stance with both hands and solemnly said:

"As a taijutsu ninja, I'm incredibly excited to meet such an excellent taijutsu ninja as you. Come on, let's continue!"

"Watch out, Naruto!"

A surge of chakra erupted, and the bandages binding Lee's body suddenly came off. He charged towards Naruto at such speed that he didn't even have time to make a sound.

Li Lianhua!

After opening the third gate, the "Gate of Life," he unleashes a supersonic attack on his opponent!

"So fast!"

Naruto's eyes narrowed, but his reaction was quick. A massive burst of chakra erupted from his body as he clenched his right fist, sending out sharp streams of wind-style chakra.

Konoha Hurricane Dragon Roar Three Styles!

The technique, which combines "wind-blowing" ninjutsu and steel fist taijutsu, suddenly transforms into a powerful and extremely sharp wind-style airflow shockwave as Naruto throws a punch!

Realizing that Lee had used his trump card, Naruto also used his Dragon God Ninja Taijutsu!

Swish swish!

Just as Lee's bandages, flying everywhere, were about to wrap around Naruto, an incredibly sharp hurricane suddenly appeared and cut the bandages into countless pieces!

Boom boom boom!

The two engaged in close-quarters combat once again, each punch and kick generating a tremendous roar and shockwave, causing the ground to crack and debris to fly everywhere.

Originally, the venue was quite spacious, but as the two fought fiercely, the aftershocks of the battle even reached the audience on the platform.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction, then gave a few instructions to his subordinates beside him.

In no time, the ninjas of the Barrier Team formed four corners and used a barrier technique to confine the battle between the two to the field.

"This child has no talent for illusion or ninjutsu; he only has taijutsu! And in this one area, this child doesn't want to lose to anyone!"

Matt Kai said slowly:

"Just like you said, that child is indeed a physical prodigy!"

Kakashi said in a deep voice.

"However, Naruto is also very persistent in taijutsu; he doesn't want to lose to anyone."

After speaking, Kakashi turned his attention back to the two people who were fighting fiercely on the field.

The Eight Gates Formation!

With a sigh, I'll leave aside the three students of Team 7.

Sakura is proficient in Water Release techniques, and her own skill in Water Release is also quite high, so she is very easy to guide.

Naruto was the student he was least able to teach.

Aside from one Rasengan, Kakashi has offered Naruto very little guidance over the past few months.

Actually, he also knew the Eight Gates Released Formation, a forbidden technique, but it was too dangerous, so he planned to teach it to Naruto when his body was stronger.

But now it seems that it's about time.
