[What?!]
[There are too many reversals in this battle.]
[Might Guy's expression changed drastically.]
[Kakashi slowly let out a breath.]
["The Front Lotus... for Kiba, it actually turned out to be a help."]
[Might Guy found this result a bit hard to accept.]
[This is a Forbidden Jutsu, after all.]
["Anyone else would probably have lost the ability to fight by now." Kakashi shook his head.]
[On the opposite side.]
[Gaara's face could no longer remain calm.]
[His hands were trembling slightly.]
[Excitement... the smell of blood!]
[He couldn't have taken that move!]
[It was too fast, without a single pause; Sand Armor, Sand Substitution... there was no chance to use them.]
[Wait a minute!]
[Where's the referee?]
[Gekkō Hayate: "Cough, cough, cough..."]
[Even if he wanted to stop the match, he couldn't.]
[Of course, if he had tried to force a stop... he might have already been knocked down by accidental injury.]
[Rock Lee held his hands in front of him for protection.]
[After the Front Lotus, the burden on the body was too great.]
[The backlash was already immense, and at the moment of landing, Kiba had taken advantage of the momentum from the Front Lotus to directly use Gatsuga.]
[If Rock Lee hadn't retreated quickly, he would be lying in the crater right now.]
[What Rock Lee didn't expect even more was that Kiba still had the strength to fight.]
[Gatsuga burst out from the ground.]
[Even though Rock Lee reacted, he couldn't pull away.]
[Plus... Rock Lee also understood why Akamaru had just urinated.]
[Scent Marking.]
["Woof~!" Akamaru barked.]
[Rock Lee's heart tightened.]
[Dual Gatsuga!]
[But in an instant, Rock Lee realized again that Akamaru had turned back into a small white dog; without Kiba actively performing Beast Mimicry Ninja Art, Akamaru couldn't use Gatsuga on his own yet.]
["Bushy Brows can't move at all... The guy covered in dog smell... won." Kankuro was silent and his composure crumbled.]
[Boom—]
[Gatsuga struck in front of Rock Lee.]
[However.]
[Another mutation occurred!]
[He actually regained his movement!]
[Changing his previous posture of preparing to take the hit head-on.]
["What?!"]
["His movements have recovered?!"]
[Kin cried out in surprise.]
[Kakashi frowned.]
["This is going a bit too far."]
["If the Front Lotus hadn't been used..."]
[Kakashi shook his head; the Front Lotus was indeed a premier Forbidden Jutsu among Taijutsu.]
[Neji couldn't help but clench his fists.]
[It's coming!]
[Rock Lee's legs kicked rapidly, his figure retreating continuously.]
[Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—]
[To everyone's surprise, at the tip of that Gatsuga... a brilliant azure light suddenly emerged!]
[Rock Lee was also stunned.]
[Rasengan?!]
["You've got some tricks!"]
[Rock Lee instantly disappeared from the spot.]
[He couldn't go head-to-head anymore.]
[Gatsuga combined with Rasengan... if they really clashed, Rock Lee would be the one to suffer.]
[The combination of two moves.]
[Except for the Naruto Gang, others couldn't see it yet.]
[But they could still feel the change in Gatsuga.]
[Noticing Rock Lee's change.]
[Kiba didn't pursue further.]
[He immediately stopped Gatsuga and retreated rapidly.]
["Akamaru!"]
["Woof~!"]
[The man and dog combined once more.]
[At the same time.]
[On the opposite side, Rock Lee's smile vanished.]
["Now... is the best time... to prove myself in front of everyone." Rock Lee slowly closed his eyes.]
["Hmph~!"]
["Who isn't doing the same?!" Kiba smiled proudly.]
[He crouched down.]
[Akamaru jumped onto his back.]
[Then, Kiba was seen forming a seal with one hand.]
[Akamaru didn't even eat a Soldier Pill.]
[Man and dog: No more pretending! Showdown!]
[Boom—!!!]
[Everyone's expression changed.]
[A white air current surged around Rock Lee.]
[Dosu's pupils shrank suddenly.]
[The battle has reached this point... and there's still such strong Chakra?!]
["No matter what, next... we must decide the winner, Kiba!" Rock Lee clenched his fists.]
[His hair slowly stood up with the white air current around him.]
[His skin also became congested at a visible rate, turning a scorched red color like it had been burned.]
["Neji... Sasuke... Hinata... and... Naruto-kun."]
["This move... was originally..."]
[Neji, Sasuke: "..."]
[As the words fell.]
[The Chakra swirling around Rock Lee materialized.]
[Losing his pupils, the veins all over his body bulged.]
[Rumble—]
[On the ground beneath Rock Lee's feet, countless pieces of rubble rose without any wind.]
["Third Gate: Gate of Life—Open!!!"]
[Boom—]
[Green energy emerged.]
[Fourth Raikage: "What?!"]
[Fourth Raikage: "That kid... a genius! A true Taijutsu genius!"]
[Might Guy: "Hahaha~"]
[Might Guy: "Lee is my most proud disciple!"]
[Might Guy: "Konoha's... New Blue Beast!"]
[Having seen this much, no matter how slow Might Guy was, he could see that the Rock Lee in the black frame world already had the qualifications to unlock the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates.]
[Therefore, calling him Konoha's New Blue Beast was not a problem at all.]
["He turned red?"]
["No... he turned green?!"]
[Temari's pretty face was full of astonishment.]
[Kankuro exclaimed: "That guy... what on earth is going on with him?!"]
["I've been waiting for you!" Kiba laughed loudly.]
[Then, they didn't need to hide anything anymore.]
["Inuzuka Style... Man-Beast Mixed Transformation!"]
[Bang—!!!]
[A deafening explosion.]
[Then, Kiba and Akamaru were enveloped by a large amount of white smoke.]
["Roar—!!!"]
[Immediately after, the roar of a wild beast came from the thick white smoke.]
[Then the air around the dojo shook.]
[The white smoke was dispersed.]
[A huge white Two-Headed Wolf demon came into view.]
["Two-Headed Wolf!"]
[Two massive wolf heads stared fixedly at Rock Lee opposite them.]
[Saliva constantly flowed from the mouths full of fangs.]
[It's not over yet!]
[Buzz—]
[The Two-Headed Wolf's white fur also bristled at a visible rate, then turned bright red.]
[Inside the Sealing Space, the Great Fox's beautiful eyes were tightly closed.]
[But his hand movements didn't stop.]
[His mouth was also constantly muttering things like'so that's how it is'.]
[And as the Great Fox continued to mutter.]
[The frequency of those slender fingers dancing became faster and faster.]
[At this time, Rock Lee also let out a roar.]
["It's not over yet!"]
["Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain—Open!!!"]
[Boom—]
[His aura rose again!]
["I really didn't expect... this isn't something that can be achieved through hard work alone!"]
["No wonder... no wonder Naruto emphasized it several times... that kid is indeed a genius!"]
[Kakashi said lost in shock.]
["Roar—!!!"]
[The Two-Headed Wolf let out a roar.]
[A hurricane swept towards Rock Lee.]
[Carrying countless transparent wind blades, it cut through the surroundings along the way.]
["Fifth Gate: Gate of Closing—Open!!!"]
[However.]
[Rock Lee's power accumulation hadn't stopped!]
[Boom—!!!]
[The hurricane was instantly dispersed by the green energy and white air current on Rock Lee's body.]
[This wasn't over yet!]
["Sixth Gate: Gate of View... Open!!!"]
[Rock Lee's voice became strained.]
[Buzz—]
[However, surprisingly, this time Rock Lee's momentum 'decreased instead of increasing'!]
[Might Guy's eyes widened.]
[This is... a more perfect Six Gates!]
[The aura seems to decrease instead of increase; however, this is tightly restraining the power of the body's explosion... while reducing the burden of consumption and damage to oneself, it condenses the scattered energy.]
[Once it explodes... it can release everything in an instant!]
[Might Guy: "The winner... has been decided!"]
