Meanwhile, Dosu just kind of hunched over and swayed side to side, the spiky cloak on his back hardly moved or shifted when Naruto's [Observe] picked up on it.
Quilled Shell – A strong defensive back piece capable of taking severe punishment and making opponents pay for striking it. +200 DEF, causes 50-75 Bleed damage per 5 seconds when it successfully blocks a physical attack.
That thing was nasty, Lee would definitely need to be careful of it or he could be in real trouble. Then Naruto caught sight of a glimpse of metal inside one of Dosu's extra-long sleeves, his [Observe] chiming off again.
Melody Arm – It is used to amplify or absorb sound waves caused the arm movements of the user that can then be manipulated, and directed with chakra causing more damage. Chance on hit to cause blurred vision, dizziness, or paralysis. Ignores Armor, 100-150 internal damage.
Dosu may not be as strong as Lee but he definitely had better gear. The boy was an odd looking character, most of his face was obscured by a combination of his headband and bandaging wrapped around his face. His clothes had an odd camouflage appearance that Naruto couldn't figure out for the life of him what environment it would be useful in.
The fight began suddenly with the pair charging one another, and engaging in a rapid and fierce taijutsu battle, both seeming to test the other's strength and style. Lee's fighting style was very direct using devastating kicks mixed with a few punches while Dosu's was very fluid, weaving side to side using wide swinging attacks that even when blocked seemed to do a little damage.
Then Dosu slipped under Lee's defense, barely tapping the green wearing genin's stomach.
Lee jumped back several meters and suddenly dropped to a knee and vomited.
"Heh, you survived that hit, I'm impressed. Admittedly, this is a first for me. No one has ever survived having their chakra disturbed by my 'Melody Arm' before," boasted Dosu, foolishly giving Lee time to recover.
It took a moment for Lee to stop vomiting and when he did, he stood tall, wiping his mouth one. "I supposed it's a good thing my chakra coils barely function then."
The Otonin's eye's narrowed both in understanding and in anger. "I see." He then attacked again, this time with more ferocity than before putting Lee completely on the defensive, waiting for an opening.
Finally Dosu over extended himself and Lee capitalized on it, his foot shooting up hard catching Dosu in the chin and lifting the young man off his feet and flying backwards. But it was not without cost as Lee was once again retching, this time a dry heave as his stomach had already been completely emptied after the previous hit.
Lee recovered faster, this time leaping as far back as he could, hoping to recover a little more as Dosu did the same.
"Lee, take them off," shouted Gai, giving the boy a thumbs up.
"But Gai-sensei-" protested Lee.
"It's alright, you have my permission this once," Gai interrupted him.
The boy suddenly grinned a thousand watt smile that matched Gai's. He kneeled and rolled down one of his leg warmers to reveal something wrapped around his ankle which he was quick to unwrap then repeat the process on the other leg. When he stood again, he held the two wraps out to each side of him and let them drop. When they hit the floor it instantly cratered, creating a three meter deep hole.
Naruto was more focus on the objects then Lee at this point. His [Observe] identifying them easily.
Super Extreme Ankle Weights – Weighing in at near a metric ton, these weights are only for the most dedicated. Requires Base 150 STR to equip. When equipped wearer is able to gain x4 the normal bonus STR, VIT, DEX, and SPD stats per level, also reduces usable STR, DEX, and SPD by 1/2 while equipped.
Naruto was almost drooling at those weights. Sure he couldn't wear those exact weights but there had to be lower level ones that he could wear, Lee had to start somewhere and build up to those. And with Naruto's gamer ability he'd benefit from some kind of weight very, very quickly. But it also made him think about Dosu's gear too, even Temari's battle-fan. It wouldn't hurt to finally go pick up the weapons from Higurashi's he'd had commissioned months ago, not to mention he and Sakura still had not gotten the crab shell checked out. So, assuming Naruto won his match against whoever he ended up fighting he needed to make a trip to Higurashi's with Sakura.
"Winner, Rock Lee!"
Naruto blinked in confusion, he'd only been looking at the details on Lee's weights for a few seconds. How could the fight already be over? He looked and indeed Dosu was knocked out, not just knocked out but broken, badly broken at that. Whatever Lee did it was extreme and fast and very, very effective.
"What happened?" asked Naruto confused.
"I'm not sure," answered Sakura, just as confused. "Lee dropped those weighted wraps or whatever they are then he vanished and so did Dosu and then it was over."
"It was too fast," added Sasuke, his Sharingan active. "Even I could barely see it."
"Fuck," Naruto groaned softly.
It didn't take long for the gamblers to collect their winning, bitch about their losses.
Nara Shikamaru vs Sabaku Gaara
"Troublesome," complained Shikamaru.
"Forfeit, now," ordered Naruto, halting Shikamaru before he could go down there.
"Che, troublesome," Shikamaru complained again. "You sure?"
"Very, forfeit."
"Fine, I forfeit," called Shikamaru.
"Winner, Sabaku Gaara!" announced Hayate.
Naruto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that none of his friend had to face Gaara.
Sabaku Kankuro vs Yamanaka Ino
Again, Naruto was flooded with bets, mostly favoring Kankuro and with good reason.
