Chapter 32 Locke Lee
Chapter 32 Locke Lee
Several days later, the long-awaited registration day for the Chunin Selection Exams finally arrived.
However, today was different from the past, and Sakura, who is always punctual, was late.
Boruto looked at Sakura, who was late, and asked in surprise, "Sakura, why are you so late today?"
"Um... I'm sorry." Sakura's gaze involuntarily fell on Sasuke beside her, and the scene of the attack a few days ago immediately flashed through her mind. She forced a smile and greeted Sasuke, "Good morning, Sasuke."
Sasuke raised his eyebrows slightly, noticing Sakura's unusual behavior, and thought to himself: There's something wrong with Sakura.
......
At the registration site, just as they were about to enter, they were blocked by two ninjas standing at the door.
At this moment, a strange-looking genin dressed in a green bodysuit got into a fight with the two ninjas.
Sasuke and Sakura immediately recognized that the barrier was created by genjutsu and that the real classroom was not there.
When the genjutsu was exposed, the genin suddenly launched an attack, but Sasuke, undaunted, immediately retaliated.
Just then, Rock Lee, who had been knocked down earlier, suddenly appeared between the two and easily blocked the attack.
Hyuga Neji walked over, displeased: "Hey, this isn't what we agreed on. Didn't you say you didn't want to attract attention and make people wary of you?"
Sasuke stared at Rock Lee with a serious expression, noticing that all the injuries Rock Lee had sustained when he was knocked to the ground earlier had completely disappeared.
Not only that, he even caught his own attack with ease, and Sasuke then realized that they had been acting all along.
Without hesitation, Rock Lee walked straight towards Sakura and said, "My name is Rock Lee, beautiful lady, you must be Sakura."
Sakura seemed a little taken aback. She responded in confusion, "Huh? What?"
Locke Lee then flashed a big smile, gave a thumbs-up, and said confidently, "Then, please go out with me! I'll protect you until I die!"
Without even thinking, Sakura immediately replied, "No! Absolutely not! Your eyebrows are way too thick!"
“Hahahaha…” Boruto, who was standing to the side, finally couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He never expected Rock Lee to express his love so directly, which was completely different from Metal’s shy and introverted personality.
Boruto's laughter lasted only a moment. When he noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, he said with a forced smile, "Sorry, please continue. Just pretend I'm not here."
Just then, Hyuga Neji slowly walked over and said to Sasuke, "Hey, kid over there, state your name."
Sasuke coldly replied, "I have no obligation to answer you," and then left without looking back.
......
Rock Lee had quietly followed them up without warning, and then unhesitatingly challenged Sasuke to a duel: "Hey, you fierce-looking guy, wait a minute! Are you interested in fighting me now?"
"The last descendant of that clan known as the genius ninja, I've always wanted to test just how far my techniques can go against you, Uchiha... Sasuke!"
Then, Rock Lee turned his gaze to Boruto: "Also, I won't let those who mock my love for Sakura get away with it."
Boruto waved his hand, denying it three times in a row: "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"Sakura, I'll prove to you that I'm a better ninja than Sasuke." With that, Rock Lee gave Sakura a loving wink.
"No!" Sakura exclaimed, frightened by Rock Lee's blatant declaration of love.
"You droopy-browed guy, your hairstyle is awful, your eyebrows are all prickly, you're such a weirdo with thick eyebrows, I don't like anything about you!" Sakura used all her knowledge to roast Rock Lee.
Sasuke glared at Rock Lee and replied disdainfully, "You know perfectly well that I am a member of the Uchiha clan, yet you still dare to challenge me? Your ignorance is laughable."
Naruto, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain his dissatisfaction. Everyone's attention was focused on Sasuke, and they completely ignored his presence.
Naruto shouted furiously, "Sasuke, leave this guy with the thick eyebrows to me! Watch me defeat him in just five minutes!"
Rock Lee frowned at Naruto's provocation, waved his arms, and shouted, "The person I'm challenging isn't you! My target is only Uchiha Sasuke!"
"You guys keep calling me Sasuke Sasuke, it's so annoying!" Naruto couldn't take it anymore and lunged at Rock Lee without thinking.
Rock Lee easily deflected Naruto's attack, nearly causing Naruto to fall to the ground.
Naruto felt somewhat resentful, especially after losing face in front of Sakura, so he used the Rasengan and charged towards Rock Lee like an arrow.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Rock Lee, seeing this, did not panic at all. He immediately used Leaf Whirlwind, spinning his body rapidly and kicking Naruto hard at the feet.
This kick caused Naruto to lose his balance instantly, rolling several times on the ground before stopping. The Rasengan in his hand also crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.
Rock Lee shook his head slightly and commented, "The power of your ninjutsu is not bad, but it's a pity that you're too dull."
Boruto glanced at Rock Lee after seeing Naruto defeated in just two rounds.
Seeing that he had the upper hand, Rock Lee became even more aggressive: "I hereby solemnly declare that you absolutely cannot defeat me. As for the reason, it's very simple: I am the strongest genin in Konoha!"
Just as Boruto was about to make a move in response to Rock Lee's provocation, Sasuke stopped him, saying, "Let me handle this. He wants to challenge me!"
Sakura glanced at the time and couldn't help but say, "Stop messing around, there's only half an hour left until the registration deadline."
Sasuke smirked and said, "Don't worry, I can take care of this in five minutes. Let me test his mettle."
Boruto couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly after hearing Sasuke's words. Don't make promises you can't keep! The last one who said he'd finish in five minutes is still lying on the floor.
When Rock Lee learned that Sasuke had agreed to the duel, he became excited and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, when Boruto saw him again, he had already silently appeared in front of Sasuke.
Boruto couldn't help but exclaim, "So fast! My eyes can't keep up with his speed!"
Sasuke's expression instantly turned serious. He never expected Rock Lee's speed to be so unbelievably fast.
Faced with Rock Lee's attack, Sasuke had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as he was kicked away.
Seeing this, Sakura's heart tightened, and she cried out worriedly, "Sasuke!"
Sasuke struggled to his feet and slowly got up from the ground. When he looked up again, his eyes had transformed into Sharingan.
Sasuke used the Sharingan's insight to try to see through Rock Lee's movements and launch a counterattack, but although he could catch some of Rock Lee's movement trajectories, he was still unable to match his speed.
Soon, Sasuke was once again in a passive and defensive position, being forced to retreat by Rock Lee's taijutsu attacks.
Just as Rock Lee was preparing to unleash the forbidden taijutsu technique, "Front Lotus," to deliver the final blow to Sasuke, a giant turtle suddenly appeared between them.
