Reverse Lotus
[You started it!]
[Seeing Rock Lee actually open the Sixth Gate, the Two-Headed Wolf was completely stunned.]
[Right at that moment.]
[Rock Lee moved.]
[He slightly arched his body as if his entire frame were rigid.]
[Immediately after, his legs moved.]
[BOOM—!!!]
[The green energy swirling around Rock Lee's body seemed to explode.]
[Countless pieces of rubble were sent flying from the already battered dojo.]
[The shockwaves generated just from his movement caused the surrounding air to vibrate repeatedly.]
[Everyone covered their faces while simultaneously trying to avoid being injured by the flying debris.]
["Cough, cough..." Gekkō Hayate was too close and was directly knocked over by the air currents from Rock Lee's movements...]
["These Konoha Genin... they're all a bunch of monsters!!!" Kankuro, in his astonishment, failed to react in time and was knocked flat on the ground.]
["Rōga Fūjin!!!"]
[How could the Two-Headed Wolf dare to be careless now?]
[It's the freaking Sixth Gate!]
[Rumble—]
[In just an instant.]
[Inside the dojo... not a single spot remained intact!]
[Bang—]
[Without any warning.]
[The Two-Headed Wolf suddenly tilted its heads back as its massive body surged upward.]
["Damn it..." The head on the right side of the Two-Headed Wolf let out a low growl.]
[The area below was already covered in dust.]
[The Two-Headed Wolf didn't even have a chance to perform the Rōga Fūjin.]
[Swoosh—]
[Suddenly.]
[A green figure appeared above the Two-Headed Wolf.]
[Both heads of the Two-Headed Wolf shook in unison.]
[Damn it!]
[Rōga Fūjin!]
[Kiba, as the dominant mind of the Two-Headed Wolf, also twisted his body with the momentum.]
[Boom—]
[A massive tornado emerged.]
[Within the tornado, the giant wolf head controlled by Kiba opened its bloody maw.]
[In an instant, the color of the Rōga Fūjin turned azure blue.]
[Rōga Fūjin: Rasengan!]
["Is it still this move?" Rock Lee clenched his fists.]
["In that case..."]
[Rock Lee's body trembled.]
[His movements were completely invisible to the naked eye.]
[Bang—]
[Only a loud explosion was heard.]
[The air vibrated as if someone had fired a cannon.]
[The Rōga Fūjin came to a dead stop in mid-air.]
[Swoosh—]
[Rock Lee appeared on the devastated dojo floor.]
[He looked up at the falling Rōga Fūjin.]
[Thump—]
[Another sound like a shell exploding.]
[Traces of blood seeped from Rock Lee's hands.]
[Clearly, touching the Rōga Fūjin would inevitably result in injury.]
["I see... Well, in that case... I'll use that move."]
[Vroom—]
[The Two-Headed Wolf was sent flying by the impact.]
[Rock Lee disappeared from his spot again.]
[He reappeared above the Two-Headed Wolf.]
[Swish... Swish... Swish—]
[As Rock Lee appeared, the bandages wrapped around his hands were instantly pulled taut.]
[Briefly pinning the Rōga Fūjin in mid-air.]
[Then, Rock Lee began to swing his fists.]
[Whoosh—]
[In an instant.]
[Under Rock Lee's ultra-high-speed punches, the friction between his fists and the air generated a massive amount of flames.]
["Morning Peacock!"]
[Soon, the Rōga Fūjin was covered in flames.]
[And the two sides collided.]
[Flames instantly enveloped Rock Lee and the Rōga Fūjin.]
["Aaaargh—!!!"]
[Rock Lee let out a roar of pain.]
[Immediately after.]
[The massive fireball in mid-air plummeted downward.]
["Reverse Lotus!!!"]
[BOOM—!!!]
[The dojo was completely destroyed.]
[The fierce air currents kicked up a massive amount of dust and rubble.]
[The Jonin stepped forward with solemn expressions to protect the Genin behind them.]
[In front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Asuma Sarutobi had already drawn his specialized Chakra ninja blades.]
[He stood guard before his old father, his face full of gravity.]
[At this moment, the entire dojo was shaking.]
[Caught in the vortex of the battle...]
[Gekkō Hayate: "..."]
["Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..." His coughing simply wouldn't stop.]
[A moment later.]
[Rock Lee stood up with a trembling body.]
[On the other side.]
[Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru had been beaten back to their original forms.]
[The match was decided.]
[The entire arena was silent.]
[Even Konan, witnessing the strength of Konoha's new generation of Genin, couldn't help but feel a surge of alarm.]
[Her beautiful eyes darted.]
[She subconsciously looked toward the obvious leader of Konoha's new generation of Genin.]
[The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...]
[Just how strong was he?]
[The answer to this question was clearly not something she could know at the moment.]
["Akamaru is still too young." Naruto shook his head.]
[Then he glanced at Sasuke and Shino nearby.]
[The two nodded slightly and then used the Body Flicker Technique to go down.]
[Each supported one person as they left.]
[Both of them had already completed their matches.]
[There was no harm in leaving.]
[To outsiders, it would naturally look like they were taking Rock Lee, Kiba, and Akamaru to the Ninja Hospital.]
[In reality, the moment the winner was decided.]
[Naruto had already transmitted Yang Release Chakra through the New Shinobi Sect.]
[Combined with the Great Fox's Chakra.]
[The two would not suffer any fundamental damage to their life force.]
[But... being bedridden for a few days was inevitable.]
[Until the four people and one dog left.]
[The dojo remained silent as a grave.]
[Actually, that's not quite right.]
["Cough, cough, cough... cough, cough..."]
["Inuzuka Kiba... is unable to continue..."]
["The winner... Rock Lee!"]
[Everyone: "..."]
[Who let him be the referee?]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a moment, then raised a hand.]
[Several Anbu Ninja immediately appeared.]
[No words were needed.]
[The Anbu Ninja immediately began to clean up the mess.]
[After a few Earth Release Ninjutsu.]
[In no time.]
[The dojo was restored to normal.]
[Seeing this, Gekkō Hayate took a deep breath.]
[Suppressing his itchy throat.]
["Then... the next round of the competition..."]
[He looked up at the large screen above the dojo.]
[Beep, beep, beep—]
[Soon, the name on the left stopped.]
[Konoha Village Genin: Ino Yamanaka.]
[Ino's brow furrowed slightly; she had a bad premonition.]
[Sakura felt something similar, and the two girls looked at each other.]
[Soon, the name on the right also stopped.]
[Sound Village Genin: Kin Tsuchi.]
[Ding—]
[The name jumped.]
[Konoha Village Genin: Sakura Haruno.]
[Ino Yamanaka vs Sakura Haruno]
["Do you have no shame at all?!"]
["It's truly disgusting!"]
[Ino immediately started shouting.]
[And she was speaking directly to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in the back.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."]
[Seeing this, Asuma Sarutobi looked helplessly at his old father and shook his head.]
[He could only turn around and stand in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
[Looking at his subordinate, he shook his head, trying to persuade Ino not to make a scene.]
["Get lost!"]
[Would Ino give him any face?]
[What a joke.]
[The others were also looking at the father and son with faces full of disdain.]
[What was this?]
[It was so obvious it was ridiculous.]
[And... it was so perverse.]
[Anyone with eyes could see that the two girls had a very good relationship.]
[Yet they were arranged to fight each other.]
This scene.
Made both Ino and Sakura feel a bit awkward.
In this world, they had quite a few conflicts.
However.
Ino Yamanaka: "Old Thing, you're truly disgusting!"
Sakura Haruno: "That's right, you Old Fossil, what a sick sense of humor!"
Sakura Haruno: "No wonder Hinata was matched against Neji... and I'm against Ino. It was all planned out!"
Soon.
Bleep—
With their full fire unleashed.
Both Sakura and Ino were gifted with the silence treatment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained as silent as a dead dog.
Similarly,
On the black-framed large screen, Sakura and Ino were also firing away, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was just as silent as a dead dog.
Asuma Sarutobi, standing in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, was even more embarrassed.
["Cough, cough... I'll have to ask you two..."]
[Gekkō Hayate's voice hadn't even trailed off.]
["We're not fighting!" x2]
["If you have no common sense, then shut up!" x2]
[The two girls directly glared at him fiercely.]
[Gekkō Hayate: "..."]
[What else could he do?]
[He waited for another moment.]
[Only then did Gekkō Hayate say weakly: "Both contestants forfeit... Next round."]
[Above the dojo, the names on the left and right of the large screen stopped.]
[Hyuga Hinata vs Hyuga Neji]
[Everyone: "..."]
