Chapter 34: Strongest vs. Strongest
Chapter 34: Strongest vs. Strongest
"Not good!" Neji frowned as he clearly saw the change in the tomoe in Sasuke's right eye, relying on his Byakugan.
Unlike the Byakugan, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan grants each tomoe (the eye-shaped eye-shaped eye) an extremely powerful boost.
In the past, there was even a consensus in Konoha that the owner of the three-tomoe Sharingan must be a Jonin.
At this moment, Sasuke's single eye gained two tomoe, and his strength increased once again.
If Xiao Li notices, that's fine, but if he's not careful and is too eager for quick success...
"Xiao Li!" Tian Tian exclaimed.
In the arena, Lee was caught off guard and his whip kick was caught by Sasuke, who used the force against him to throw him away!
"Sigh!" Neji sighed.
That's right, it's like this. The Sharingan's ability to find weaknesses is in no way inferior to the Byakugan.
The good news is that Rock Lee is stronger than Sasuke. Even if he is thrown out, he can quickly adjust his posture in the air and will not lose control.
The bad news is that Sasuke is not Rock Lee. If Rock Lee wants to pursue, he can only rely on himself, but if Sasuke wants to pursue, he can use ninjutsu and kunai.
However, just as he had done in response to Lee's initial restraint, Sasuke did not pursue him.
He simply stood there quietly, sensing the sensations brought by the two-tomoe Sharingan. "So this is what the two-tomoe Sharingan feels like? So powerful!"
"As expected, Akali was right!"
Just for this Sharingan that has advanced to the two-tomoe level, Sasuke felt that his 900,000 yen was well spent.
Moreover, this is only the beginning!
In the counterattack just now, Sasuke has already experienced a little bit of the effect of the two-tomoe copy eye!
After calming himself down, Sasuke looked at Rock Lee and flashed a proud (and smug) smile:
"I told you, I'm not Naruto!"
"Hmph!" Lee's face darkened, and under Sasuke's provocation, he squatted down to prepare to unload the weights.
Fortunately, Might Guy spoke up at this moment: "That's enough, Lee! That's enough for now. I have a general understanding of Sasuke's strength!"
"Remember this, Li, the only thing we can break free of is when facing the enemy!"
"Endure self-discipline, enjoy self-discipline, and finally, when facing the enemy, transform that self-discipline into explosive power! This is youth, Li!"
"Teacher Kai!"
"plum!"
"Kay sensei!"
Beneath Sasuke's twitching lips, as if a volcanic eruption were unfolding in the background, Rock Lee and Might Guy passionately embraced, weeping uncontrollably!
[Ding! Sasuke's emotional value +999!]
Sasuke: "..."
He retracted his previous statement, asking, "Is such a hot-blooded and eccentric Jonin really reliable?"
Sasuke had deep suspicions, but now that the money had already been distributed, there was nothing he could do about it.
Shaking his head, Sasuke turned and left, leaving the stage to Akali and Neji.
But as soon as Sasuke took a step, he felt a gentle breeze and a white shadow flash by.
Sasuke turned around and saw Neji already standing impatiently in the center of the field, his fierce white eyes staring at a certain spot on the sidelines.
Sasuke then followed Neji's gaze.
Akali came into view unhurriedly, as if she were strolling through a shopping mall.
Seeing Neji's eagerness and ruthlessness and Akali's leisure, two words came to mind for Sasuke.
There's some juicy gossip!
Sasuke frowned slightly, quickened his pace, and caught up with Akali.
As Sasuke brushed past Akali, he whispered, "What's the situation with Neji Hyuga?"
"It's nothing, just a minor problem!"
Akali smiled nonchalantly and instead praised Sasuke: "Congratulations! And well done!"
"Hmph, do you need to tell me that?"
Sasuke, in a very good mood, let out a haughty snort, then turned and left.
Although they had only spent a few days together, he had already gained a general understanding of Akali's personality.
If Akali says she's fine, then she really is fine, and Sasuke doesn't think Neji can cause Akali any trouble.
Furthermore, Sasuke had a lot of faith in Akali's abilities.
Sasuke then went to the sidelines and stood with Naruto.
At this moment, Xiao Li and Matt Kai finished reminiscing about their youth and walked over with Tian Tian.
Those who knew Neji very well also noticed something was wrong with him.
"Hey, Sasuke, does Akali have some kind of grudge against Neji?"
Tian Tian asked, somewhat concerned.
"I don't know!" Sasuke shook his head.
"Huh? A grudge?" Naruto, who had been watching Sasuke and Rock Lee's fight, scratched his head. "Neji and Akali have a grudge? When?"
"Naruto, you really are..."
Even Rock Lee could only shake his head and sigh at Naruto's thick skin.
But Naruto isn't the focus right now, Lee continued:
"Although I don't know what their feud is, I know that Akali is in big trouble!"
"Why don't you try to persuade her to give up? If Neji really wants to resort to underhanded tactics, even Guy-sensei might not be able to stop him!"
Xiao Li's expression turned serious: "After all, soft fist and hard fist are different!"
If someone presses a few acupoints on you, or gently taps your internal organs, a check-up at the hospital will actually reveal that it's a minor injury that only requires some rest.
But Akali's mission only lasts for a month. If she uses that month to recover from her injuries, wouldn't her money be wasted?
"That's amazing!?"
Listening to Lee's boasting, Naruto was still completely fooled, even though he didn't understand what Gentle Fist and Hard Fist were.
"Of course!" Lee nodded seriously, "Neji is the most talented person I've ever met!"
"Let me put it this way, I had absolutely no chance against that guy!"
“This…” Naruto was a little hesitant. He had just witnessed Rock Lee’s strength, which far surpassed Sasuke’s.
The draw was just Might Guy giving Lee face; Lee didn't even unleash his full potential.
Even someone as skilled as Lee was powerless against Neji.
He simply couldn't believe how strong Neji was!
Naruto looked at Sasuke and tentatively asked, "Although I don't understand what's going on, should we try to persuade Akali?"
"..." Sasuke frowned in annoyance: "Naruto, can't you have a little bit of your own opinion?"
Sasuke was well aware of Akali's strength.
And the most talented person I've ever met...
Sasuke glanced at Lee, feeling a bit like he was being subtly insulted.
Sasuke retorted, "Akali is also the most talented and strongest person I've ever met!"
"Haha, really?" Lee didn't think too much about it; since Sasuke said so, he believed him.
"In other words, the next battle will be between the strongest and the most talented!"
"We'll find out soon who our No. 1 students from the previous and subsequent years are!"
"Yosh, I'm all fired up!"
Lee clenched his fists, his eyes shining as he stared ahead: "Neji, did you hear me? Don't lose!"
Naruto retorted, "Akali, you do your best too! Don't lose to that blind guy!"
The energetic representatives on both sides began to cheer fiercely.
"The strongest against the strongest, the most talented against the most talented..."
"Interesting!" Sasuke's lips curled slightly as he looked at the scene.
A strong sense of anticipation ignited in everyone's hearts!
