Chapter 262 Lee vs. Gaara
As the match began, Xiao Li decisively launched an attack, starting with a Leaf Whirlwind.
However, before the kick could reach Gaara, it was blocked by the yellow sand that surged out of the gourd.
The next moment, the yellow sand seemed to come alive, transforming into a giant hand that slapped towards Xiao Li.
Xiao Li quickly rolled backward to avoid the attack.
"A sand manipulation ninjutsu? That's a bit troublesome, but I'll definitely find your weakness!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Li launched another attack.
A variety of kicking techniques were displayed.
However, Gaara just stood there, arms crossed, coldly watching Lee.
The yellow sand seemed to be alive, protecting Gaara and precisely blocking every attack from Lee.
Not only can it block Lee's attacks for Gaara, it can even create sand to sneak up on Lee from behind.
But Xiao Li's reaction speed was also extremely fast. Before the yellow sand behind him could launch a sneak attack, Xiao Li pulled out a kunai from the knife pouch on his leg, swung it backhand, and directly pierced the gathered yellow sand.
Having successfully defended against the sneak attack, Xiao Li realized he couldn't stay in one place any longer.
He quickly jumped back, and even while in mid-air, Lee didn't forget to throw out several shuriken in an attempt to take Gaara's life.
However, this level of attack is meaningless to me, Luo.
The yellow sand automatically formed a barrier in front of Gaara, blocking all attacks.
"This is outrageous! There's so much sand, and it's moving so fast!"
Seeing that Lee's attacks were completely ineffective, Naruto couldn't help but feel indignant on Lee's behalf.
Kankuro scoffed at Naruto's complaint.
"What's so special about that? Manipulating sand is Gaara's ability. If you're so capable, show us some special abilities too. Otherwise, just shut up. After all, this world is unfair."
"Ha! What are you saying, you ugly monster!"
"Who are you calling an ugly monster!"
"Whoever is in a hurry is the one to talk. Ugly freak, with that grotesque face drawn up, it must be because you're too ugly to show your face to anyone."
"You bastard!"
Just as Kankuro was about to go berserk, Maki stopped him in time.
"Alright, Kankuro, don't do anything reckless. Don't forget we still have a mission."
Seeing this, Kankuro had no choice but to give up.
Kakashi also tapped Naruto on the head.
"You better behave yourself. Don't think that just because you passed the preliminaries you can become a Chunin. There's still the final test to come. Watch the matches carefully and try to learn something from them."
"Understood, Kakashi-sensei."
Naruto poked his head out and looked towards the arena.
After some probing, Xiao Li roughly understood the other party's situation, and successfully reached the high place with a series of backflips.
"I think I understand. So, let's escalate the battle."
As he spoke, he pulled off the protective sheath on the rabbit, revealing a weight wrapped around its feet.
He had such a heavy load wrapped around his feet, and he never took it off.
Kankuro saw that Lee had unloaded his weight and scoffed dismissively.
"Tch, just some boring little tricks. Even if he unloads a lot of his burdens, he still can't catch up with Gaara's speed."
"Thump!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the heavy object hit the ground with a loud thud.
The entire venue felt a noticeable tremor.
"Seriously? Are you kidding me?"
Li felt completely relaxed after being relieved of his burden.
"Great, this makes things much easier!"
The other genin in the same cohort were stunned. Was this even a normal person? What normal person would live with something so heavy strapped to their feet?
Kakashi couldn't help but comment on this scene.
"Kai, aren't you going a bit too far? That child is still so young."
Might Guy completely ignored Kakashi's sarcastic remarks and simply gave Rock Lee a thumbs up.
"Go, Xiao Li!"
"it is good!"
Responding to Might Guy's shout, Lee rushed out.
It moved with such speed that it was as if it had used the Body Flicker Technique, appearing directly in front of Gaara.
He threw a punch straight at Gaara's face.
The sand wall appeared just in time, but the usually indestructible sand wall was actually punched through by Xiao Li.
However, it only managed to break through; it was still a short distance away from actually touching the target.
But this was enough to shock Gaara, since in his memory, his sand defense had never been breached.
Lee moved quickly, and when his first attack failed, he quickly pulled away, not giving Aira a chance to counterattack. He found his position and threw another punch.
With constant dodging and weaving, and with a barrage of punches and flying kicks, the sand surrounding Gaara was continuously shattered.
As a result, the speed at which the sand shield gathered could no longer keep up with Xiao Li's attacks.
Finally, Gaara abandoned his arrogant attitude and began to look for Lee's weaknesses.
Suddenly, a dark shadow blocked the light. Before he could even look up, Xiao Li had already delivered a powerful whip kick.
"Thump!"
Gaara stumbled, but the sand helped him absorb some of the impact, preventing him from being kicked to the ground.
However, the attack still caused blood to flow down Gaara's face, who was known for never being injured.
Having succeeded in his attack, Xiao Li smiled.
"That's it."
Having confirmed the effectiveness of his attack, Xiao Li quickened his pace and continued his assault.
Gaara, no longer waiting for Lee's attack, began to actively manipulate the sand to launch his own attack.
However, just as the sand was kicked up, Xiao Li appeared on the other side.
"Pfft~!"
The sand shield shattered, and Xiao Li disappeared again.
"Here, here, I'm here."
Lee's voice kept echoing around Gaara.
The sand shield kept bursting, but no one could be seen breaking it.
This made Ai Luo feel incredibly annoyed.
But before he could retaliate, Xiao Li's punch came flying.
"Thump!"
A swift punch pierced through the sand's defenses and landed squarely on Gaara's face, knocking him to the ground.
"Great! It's a success!"
Seeing this, Naruto couldn't help but cheer for Rock Lee.
Xiao Li was also somewhat excited; after taking such a punch, he probably wouldn't be able to get up.
However, under everyone's gaze, Gaara still stood up.
However, something kept falling off his face.
"What's that? His face is shattered?"
Naruto exclaimed in surprise.
Meanwhile, Neji frowned.
“Sand, that guy was covered in sand.”
"They made a layer of sand to cover their entire body as armor? That's really unexpected."
Naruto shouted loudly.
"Breaking through the sand barrier, and then being protected by another layer of sand armor, isn't that a bit too unfair? It leaves us completely helpless!"
However, only Kankuro and Temari, who knew Gaara well, knew that the fact that Gaara had been forced to use this move meant that he was truly in danger.
For a moment, they couldn't help but think more highly of that man with the thick eyebrows.
