Chapter 66: Three Phases

"I didn't expect the two of them to come together, Kakashi, you and I are really fateful opponents."

Since the opponents in this round are Naruto and Xiao Li, Kai naturally did not miss any opportunity to compete with Kakashi, and deliberately walked over to say.

“……”

"Huh? Did you just say something, Kay? The air was silent for a moment, and Kakashi, who seemed to have just reacted, turned his head to look at him innocently.

"Ho-ho......" Kai, who was once again ignored, was speechless for a while, and it took a while for him to regain his breath and cry out with tears streaming down his face, "You're always like this, Kakashi!" ”

Kai's expression was as uncomfortable as if he had choked on a spell cast in the game, and judging by his reaction, it was clear that something similar had happened more than once.

"Kakashi-sensei, who do you think will win this contest?" Without a chance to play with Kai, Sakura looked at Naruto below with a complicated gaze and asked Kakashi.

This question of hers was also what Sasuke and Ningji, who were beside Kai, wanted to ask, so they also looked at it at the same time.

"Well...... Kakashi lowered his head and thought for a moment when he heard this, and instead of answering immediately, he asked Xiang Kai first, "What do you think?" ”

"Me? Haha, of course it's a bet on Xiao Li. Kai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became full of energy and said.

"Although I can't see through Naruto-kun, he has too many secrets, but after all, the victory or defeat between men depends on the root nature (will)! I believe that Xiao Li will not lose to anyone in this regard. ”

Speaking of Xiao Li, Kai, as a mentor, was full of confidence in his words, which made Kakashi can't help but look sideways.

He knew that Kai, like him, had learned all the details of Naruto's battle with Orochimaru from Sasuke's mouth before, and under this premise, he was still full of confidence in Xiao Li, which couldn't help but make him curious about this match.

"yes, Naruto has too many secrets, I wonder if this fight will allow me to see a little more clearly......" Kakashi said silently in his mind at the moment, while the figure of Naruto in a white T-shirt below was also reflected in the writing wheel of his left eye.

"Eighth round, Naruto Uzumaki vs. Rock Lee, begin!" At this time, the referee in the field, Moonlight Blast, signaled that the two sides could start.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

Almost at the moment when the Moonlight Blast announced the beginning, Xiao Li opposite Naruto had already jumped up, stretched his body in mid-air, and swept towards him with a fierce kick by inertia.

Naruto was not surprised by this, and did not move, but raised his right hand to block the blow.

Immediately, his hand grabbed from the block and grabbed Xiao Li's right foot, but Xiao Li's reaction was not slow, he was in the air and twisted his body, and his left foot kicked Naruto's hand, and at the same time landed with both hands, slightly widening the distance.

"Tsk." Naruto frowned slightly regretfully, and flicked his right hand twice, just now from defense to offense seemed to be a light weight, but it was not a small burden.

Xiao Li's strength was a little unexpected, and his leg was still tied with lead at the moment, and the inertia added to make his right hand a little numb for a while.

"Naruto seems to be familiar with that guy's moves." Sasuke on the second floor couldn't help but say when he saw this.

Although it was only a confrontation at this time, between the rabbits and the falcons, with his familiarity with Naruto's fighting style, Sasuke still saw something, even if the game had just begun, it made him feel that something was inexplicably wrong.

"Of course, when I was exercising in the past few years, that kid didn't hide from a distance and peek, except for Xiao Li Tiantian and them, Naruto is probably the one who knows the most about Konoha fluid technique among his peers." As if to see Sasuke's doubts, Kai explained with a slight smugness.

As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at his old opponent Kakashi next to him, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, you see, even your subordinates' physical skills were taught by me.

"I see...... I said how could that kid do that. Kakashi once again ignored Kai's smug expression, and only piggybacked back on the [Konoha Rigid Whirlwind] that Naruto kicked again during the Wave Country incident.

At the same time, Sasuke, who was explained, also suddenly realized, at this moment he finally knew what was wrong, no wonder he had always felt that Naruto and thick eyebrows were very similar in physical skills, it turned out that they were basically from the same school.

"Eh~ How can this be, I don't even know about this kind of thing, is this okay Teacher Kai, since the opponent completely knows Xiao Li's moves, this is too unfair to Xiao Li." Tiantian, who had just woken up on the side, screamed in surprise and hugged Xiao Li for the grievances.

"It's not that exaggerated." Kai hurriedly waved his hand, turned his head to Tian Tian and said, "That kid just watched from a distance, and never approached me to ask me anything, even if he steals school, it's just some skin, you are a little too nervous Tian Tian." ”

"No, Mr. Kai, take a good look below!" Tian Tian rolled his eyes when he heard this, and pointed to the two people who were fighting in the field and said angrily.

It turned out that it was just their side of the conversation, and the next competition had entered Naruto's rhythm.

Sideways to dodge Xiao Li's straight punch, Naruto spread his opponent's fist outward with his left hand, and his right hand stabbed Li in the middle of the door like lightning.

"Ahem!" Xiao Li was so caught up in his breath by this sudden change of tricks, his face was flushed, and he wanted to distance himself first.

However, Naruto's movements were faster than him, and before Xiao Li could retreat, he took a step forward and slammed his palm on his chest with the help of his sword finger.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Xiao Li's whole body flew out upside down like a cannonball, slamming heavily on the wall at the edge of the field.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Xiao Li got up, and let out a series of coughs with his hand, obviously this time he was not clear, but he still struggled to stand up for the first time, and faced Naruto again, in case the opponent took advantage of this time to make a move.

However, this was obviously Xiao Li's concern, and when he looked up to find that Naruto was standing there and waiting for him to get up.

"Could this be ......" Ino upstairs here looked at Asma behind him with some uncertainty.

She couldn't help but doubt her eyes a little at the moment, Naruto's move just now was exactly the same as Hinata's Ninji in the last game, could it be that Naruto would also be Hinata's point?

"That's right, it's soft boxing, can this kid reproduce these movements so accurately after only seeing it once, it's really a terrifying talent." Asma said with a sigh as she took a cigarette in her mouth.

"Isn't it really good......" Naruto saw that Xiao Li just stood up with a few coughs in his chest because he was attacked by him, and he already understood that his experiment was a little whimsical.

The moment he had just now was the move that Ning Ci had used to solve the battle before, and the tooth was also sealed with the acupuncture point on his chest, and then he was sent away by a palm from behind.

He also had a whim, thinking that when he was with Hinata on weekdays, he basically figured out the approximate location of the acupuncture points and the attack method of the soft fist, and tried to see if he could copy it.

As a result, it is obvious that he is whimsical, and the Hyuga's soft fist is a stunt that can't even be copied by the chakra flowing chakra, and it is naturally even more impossible with his Taoism.

"Sure enough, remembering the acupuncture points on your body and the acupuncture points of your opponent are completely different things." Watching Xiao Li, who was wheezing on the other side, gradually regain his mobility, Naruto sighed with a little regret in his heart.

If he succeeded in copying just now, it would be basically impossible to recover in such a little time, the moment he hit the chest would make the chakra that blocked Xiao Li's front flow to his hands make him temporarily lose his combat effectiveness, and the palm in the back would hurt his internal organs, which would make him feel uncontrollable pain even if he moved.

This is the terrifying power of genuine soft boxing, but when he uses it, it doesn't hurt at all, and it seems that it is better to honestly use his own means.

On the other side of the second floor, Kai was dumbfounded, barely believing what he was seeing, until he looked back at Ning Ci and saw that Ning Ci, who had already opened his white eyes, shook his head and came to his senses.

"It's really terrible, although it's just in vain, but it can be used in actual combat after only watching it once, and it also hurt Xiao Li...... Is this genius? Kai, who breathed a sigh of relief, sighed at Naruto's performance just now.

Even though he already knew from the confrontation between Naruto and Orochimaru, he didn't really make Kai look at it differently until he saw his beloved disciple powerless under the other party.

However, this does not mean that Kai has lost confidence in Xiao Li, I saw a flash in his eyes, and he stretched out his thumb to Xiao Li, who was about to regroup.

"Haha, it only makes sense to defeat such a genius, Li, take it off!" Kai said loudly with a signature expression at the moment.

"Yes...... Is that okay, Mr. Kai? Xiao Li here stammered and asked with a little disbelief and expectation when he heard this.

"Take off what?" At this time, everyone who was attracted by the inexplicable conversation between the two was guessing in their minds.

"Take it off...... Hey, Kai, you're not going to be so old-fashioned, are you? Kakashi looked at Kai with a slight speechlessness.

At this time, except for Kai and Xiao Li, only he vaguely guessed what it was.

"That's right! I'll give you permission, prove yourself, Lee. This is youth!! The sign's white teeth shimmered, and Kai puffed out loudly for his proud disciple.

"Oh!" Seeing this, Xiao Li excitedly raised his hand to the second floor and saluted, and then jumped to the top of the statue on the field, untied the weight-bearing lead block tied to his legs and printed with the word "root", and threw it down.

"Boom ——!"

Under the loud sound, it seemed that the entire central tower was shaking, and it also made some people who had just slandered Xiao Li's hole cards boring in their hearts dumbfounded, and no one thought that Xiao Li had been dancing with such a burden in the battle.

"You're exaggerating, Kai." At such a sight, even Kakashi couldn't help but complain.

With such a heavy weight, one can imagine what kind of speed he will get after taking it off, and he began to wonder how Naruto would deal with Xiao Li at this time.

"Is this the beginning of the second phase, I thought you would struggle a little more." Blowing a fan of the floating dust floating in front of him, Naruto, who had already known that he would go this far, thought in his heart without surprise.

As we all know, Xiao Li has a total of three stages in the middle ninja exam, the first stage of the "physical skill boy", the second stage of the "real Rock Lee" after removing the weight, and the third stage of the eight Dunjia opened five doors of the "Super Saiyan".

He originally planned to end this competition in one stage, but he didn't expect Kai to be so simple, and it didn't take two rounds to directly let Xiao Li "evolve".

"Forget it, since that's the case, let's solve you in the second stage, after all, it's a bit too cruel to not give you a chance to perform at all." A huge amount of chakra surged towards his feet at this moment, and Naruto couldn't help but get serious at this time.
