Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

Temari also broke out in a cold sweat.

"This, this is too outrageous!"

Kankuro also said, "This is going to kill people..."

Naruto, however, was trembling with excitement.

"Go ahead, Lee!"

Rock Lee finally made his final preparations. With the power of the Eight Gates Formation, his body suddenly turned into a blur and vanished from the spot!

Kakashi had to activate his Sharingan to see his movements clearly.

"That is……"

Even though Neji Hyuga had activated his Byakugan and could detect Rock Lee's whereabouts, his body couldn't keep up.

Now, there's only one move left to defend against it...

No matter where Rock Lee is, he will eventually launch a final attack on himself!

Moreover, after the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation was opened, he was also enduring intense pain and danger, making it impossible for him to fight for an extended period of time, so...

"The outcome hinges on this single strike!"

"The profound meaning of the Soft Fist and Eight Trigrams Palm..."

"Revive the crisis!!!"

At the same instant, Rock Lee transformed into a blood-red lotus flower and descended from the sky, delivering a powerful punch that, carrying the power of the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, slammed into Hyuga Neji's Heavenly Return!

The Eight Gates Formation, the fifth gate!

The secret of Baguazhang, a style of hard-hitting soft-fisted combat, turns the tide!

Lee Rock's voice resounded throughout the entire world.

"Riri Renka!!!"

Rumbling--

Boom! ! !

The two men's desperate attack finally exploded with a deafening roar!

With the support of the five gates of the Eight Gates Formation, the power of the Inner Lotus has reached its absolute limit!

Like a cannonball bombardment, like a meteor falling, like a volcanic eruption!

Overwhelmingly powerful and unstoppable!

Even with all its might, it was ultimately unable to withstand the force, and was suddenly and utterly shattered from above...

Click!

With a deafening roar, Rock Lee's body slammed down, crashing into the earth, sending dust billowing up and completely engulfing both of them...

In the end, who won and who lost?!

Everyone held their breath and stared intently, not daring to utter a sound...

Finally, after a long time, the dust settled.

Hyuga Neji had completely collapsed to the ground, staring at Rock Lee in disbelief.

"I can't believe it..."

"I lost to you..."

Although Lee Rock was still standing, his arm was broken and the intense pain made him lose consciousness. He was only able to stand by relying on his remaining willpower.

however……

In the end, he won.

Genma Shiranui checked the situation and quickly announced, "The winner is..."

Rock Lee!

After a moment of silence, thunderous applause erupted!

The whole place was excited!

Matt Kai couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Li, you..."

Tenten exclaimed in shock, "Neji actually lost..."

Naruto cheered so hard he practically took off.

"amazing!"

"Li! You won!"

"This is what true youth is all about!!!"

"I...I won..."

Lee Rock's vision was already blurred, and he could no longer even feel the excruciating pain of his broken arm.

But in his heart, he felt completely at peace, having finally proven himself completely...

Although Neji Hyuga managed to deflect most of the power from the Reverse Lotus with his Rotation, the combined power of the Eight Gates Formation, with five gates added, was still unimaginably terrifying.

Of course, this is why Rock Lee ultimately didn't unleash all his power on Neji, but instead chose to blast it into the ground.

otherwise……

I'm afraid Hyuga Neji wouldn't be paralyzed right now.

Instead, he was critically injured and dying.

"How could I lose to someone like you..."

"plum……"

Lee Rock was panting heavily.

"You lost to me, are you really upset?"

Neji Hyuga remained silent.

Are you really not convinced?

Are you very unwilling to accept this?

Strangely, nothing happened...

Because, in reality, no one understood Rock Lee's desperate efforts better than him.

But it can't be summed up simply by saying "effort".

That is living towards death.

That is burning life.

That was burning everything away.

Even though he was exceptionally talented, and even confident that he surpassed the main family, and even though he worked very hard day and night, he could never compare to Rock Lee's efforts.

Through hard work, he surpassed even genius!

Can destiny be changed?

At this moment, Hyuga Neji was overwhelmed with mixed feelings...

Might Guy suddenly appeared beside the two of them, helping Hyuga Neji to his feet and also supporting the swaying Rock Lee.

"Li! Neji! You two are both excellent!"

“This is real youth!”

"The power of our Third Squad is enough to shock everyone!"

He suddenly hugged the two of them tightly, pulled them into his arms, and burst into tears.

Lee Rock was also in tears: "Teacher Kai, I... I did it..."

"I have finally proven myself..."

Neji Hyuga finally let go of his resentment.

"Maybe……"

I don't know who he was talking to.

Perhaps it's something I'm saying to myself.

……

Although Rock Lee won, he forcibly used the power of the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation and even used the forbidden Reverse Lotus, which resulted in his arm being completely broken and his whole body being exhausted, making it impossible for him to fight anymore.

Might Guy quickly picked up the two and handed them over to the medical ninjas of Konoha Village for treatment.

However, even the victor, Rock Lee, was unable to participate in the following matches...

But so what?

As Matt Kai watched the two figures depart, tears streamed down his face, yet he wore a radiant smile.

He gave the two of them a thumbs up.

"You did it, Neji, Lee!"

"Youth, roar!"

The battle between Rock Lee and Neji Hyuga was truly exhilarating, with cheers erupting throughout the arena and everyone deeply moved.

Naruto was both overjoyed and somewhat worried about Rock Lee's injuries.

Hinata then looked towards her father, Hiashi Hyuga...

Hiashi Hyuga sighed and suddenly stood up.

Hanabi asked, "Father, where are you going?"

"I have something to say to Neji."

Firework nodded obediently, "Okay."

The battle must continue.

The next match will be between...

"Nara Shikamaru!"

"And Temari!"

This battle is the only one that is exactly the same as the one in the original work.

Nara Shikamaru was still too lazy to join the battle, and Naruto pushed him off the field.

The entire battle was almost identical to that in the original work.

The two men engaged in a battle of wits and courage, both displaying exceptional ninja skills.

Nara Shikamaru's performance also won over everyone.

In the end, to everyone's surprise, Shikamaru, who had overpowered Temari with his unparalleled intellect, chose to give up at the last moment.

This immediately enraged everyone present.

But Shikamaru didn't care.

What he certainly didn't know was...

You may have lost the game, but you've won at life.

……

As for the first round and final match of the finals, there's no need to elaborate on either side.

"Uzumaki Naruto!"
