Neji frowned. Lee failing here is a joke. He's wasting his potential, and now this Chunin exam is canceled.
Lee is the biggest loser in this Chunin exam.
Neji doesn't want Lee to fail here. He was planning to bring Lee and Might Guy under his control.
Later, during a big war, Lee and Might Guy, after opening the Seven Gates, could each fight five Kage-level fighters. That's a big fighting force, and he can't let it be wasted here.
"Lee, your body can't move anymore."
"No." Lee pushed Neji away, took a fighting stance, and wanted to keep fighting Gaara.
"Lee, it's not necessary. This is just a Chunin exam," TenTen shouted.
"Guy sensei, please talk to Lee."
Sand~
At that moment, the sand formed a hand again and reached out to grab Neji and Lee.
"Gaara!" Hayate Gekkou wanted to stop him. If Lee grows up, he will definitely become a great asset to Konoha.
But his current position is special, and Lee hasn't given up yet. He can't interfere.
Neji frowned. Gaara has too much of a murderous intent right now.
"Lee, I'm sorry," Neji said.
"Neji, you..."
Neji struck Lee on the back of the neck with a chop. Lee only had time to cry out before passing out.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to save Lee, and Orochimaru wanted to see Neji's strength. So, they both tacitly didn't say anything to stop him.
Since the two people in charge didn't say anything, no one else would bother them.
And Neji took advantage of this point, so he blatantly stepped in.
Sand~ Sand~ Sand~
The sand attacked, slowly, but with great destructive power. Feeling all of this, Neji admired Gaara a little.
After suffering the wild attacks of the Eight Gates, he was still able to maintain so much power. He can brag about it later.
But even so, Neji still won't care.
Neji personally took action, and Gaara didn't dare to be careless. He struggled to stand up, raised his hands, and the sand turned into a series of sharp cones.
"Ah!"
Gaara roared and furiously threw the sand cones. Immediately, the sound of air being cut was constant, and a series of cones rushed toward Neji.
At this moment, Gaara no longer cared about Lee. He only saw Neji in his eyes.
"Those sand cones, and that terrifying defense... The One-Tail Jinchuriki is really not simple... So, Neji, how are you going to defend against them?"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and calmly watched this scene.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Orochimaru: "So young, and already has this kind of strength. He's not inferior to Kakashi. Rasa, you had a good son."
Neji just stood there quietly, watching Gaara finish his jutsu.
In an instant, he moved. He pushed off with both feet and instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already close to Gaara and punched him hard.
Boom!
Gaara's pupils shrank. The force of the punch directly created a large hole in the sand shield and hit Gaara's face hard.
Bang!
The sand armor suddenly shattered, and Gaara rolled and flew out, directly embedded in the wall, stirring up a large cloud of dust.
"What?!" Everyone had a "what the heck?" expression.
They had thought of all sorts of possibilities, but they never expected that the sand shield would be broken by Neji with one punch.
They couldn't imagine how strong Neji's punch was.
"Isn't Neji training in Gentle Fist?"
This is Gentle Fist? You're telling me this destructive power is Gentle Fist?
Even Might Guy's Strong Fist isn't as scary as this attack.
Instantly, everyone looked at Hinata at the same time, hoping she could give them an explanation.
"I... I..." Hinata was very anxious and didn't know how to explain. She suddenly felt a little wronged.
Everyone doesn't believe me. As expected, Brother Neji is the nicest to me.
"Is this... Super Strength?" Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru thought at the same time.
Did Tsunade come back?
When did she come back?
Why don't I know?
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed calm and collected. In reality, his heart was very uneasy.
Knowing Tsunade, as he does, she's unlikely to take on male students.
Then, there's only one truth.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly became strange when he looked at Neji. Young people are really good at playing.
Fortunately, Neji didn't know what he was thinking. Otherwise, even if Orochimaru didn't attack, he would definitely teach Sarutobi Hiruzen a lesson out of respect for the elderly and love for the young.
"But this Hyuga Neji, hmm, is a good young man," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with satisfaction.
In his opinion, age isn't a problem. What matters is that you're good.
But Orochimaru on the side didn't think so. He felt a little confused at the moment and was frightened. He felt terribly uneasy.
What happened? Tsunade is also in the village?!
And according to the information, Jiraiya is also here.
He has to fight three Kage level fighters?
Suddenly, he felt cold inside and doubted whether he could get out alive.
No, this isn't going to work. Destroying Konoha can't be rushed. I have to take it slow.
Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and decided to think about it again.
Creak~
A slight sound came. Everyone looked towards the sound. They saw Gaara slowly climbing up from among the rubble and dust.
At this moment, his face was unusually scary. His face and body were covered with cracks, making him look terrifying.
"How can he be okay..." Hinata covered her small mouth and said in shock.
Not just her, the other young ninja, and even Kakashi and the others were a little surprised.
Is the sand armor's defense so high that even though it's so broken, it can still protect Gaara?
Little did they know that Neji didn't use his full strength at all. He didn't want to force Shukaku out right now.
He can't do things that he's not sure about. After all, he only has one life.
"In your current state, you can't beat me," Neji said.
Gaara was very angry, but he wasn't stupid. Today wasn't going to work. He glared at Lee. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have lost to Neji twice.
He will never let this person go.
Seeing this situation, Hayate Gekkou immediately said, "Gaara wins."
Gaara snorted coldly, turned around, and walked out.
Choji easily won the tenth match. But with Lee and Gaara's fight, this battle didn't get much attention.
In order for the fighters to maintain their best condition, the final exam will be held in a month.
After saying these things, the Third Hokage and Orochimaru left with their respective people.
"Hehe, Tsunade is back. That's good news," Sarutobi Hiruzen happily thought.
I'm getting old and should retire. Jiraiya and Tsunade, hmm, let's see what excuses they have this time. Hehe.
At this moment, Orochimaru's face was gloomy: "Damn Danzo, you didn't tell me such important news. Are you trying to kill me?!"
Yes, he really wants me to die. You old thing, since you're not kind, then I won't play either.
