It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

Chapter 35 I also want to fight with you

"Hey, Xiao Li! We don't have any extra time to waste. This place is quite far from the No. 44 training ground."

Sakura and Sasuke were on guard against Lee who suddenly stopped Team 7.

Lee's companion, Hyuga Neji, who had long black hair tied in a ponytail, reminded Lee.

"You also heard what the examiner of the second exam said. We only have half an hour to gather. If you are late, you will be disqualified from the exam."

Hyuga Neji's words to Lee were full of warnings.

Obviously, Xiao Li's behavior of stopping Class 7 was not the unanimous opinion of Class 3, but Xiao Li's personal behavior.

"I know! It won't waste too much time!"

Lee assured Neji.

As he spoke, his eyes returned to Sakura and his face turned red again.

"Really..."

Tiantian, who was also a member of the third class, shook his head helplessly, as if he had become accustomed to Xiao Li's behavior.

After comforting his companion, Xiao Li approached Xiaoying nervously.

It can be seen that deep down he was actually quite hesitant about what he was going to do next.

Although he was an expert in physical skills, even his steps became extremely stiff at this moment.

Sasuke was wary of what he considered to be Lee's confusing actions and stood in front of Sakura.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Sasuke questioned Lee.

"You are the first one to graduate from this ninja school, Uchiha Sasuke."

Lee and Sasuke's eyes met, and he patiently explained: "Don't worry! I have no ill intentions, I'm here to find Sakura!"

"Find me?"

Now it was Sakura's turn to feel confused. She searched her memory and was sure that she had never come into contact with Xiao Li before.

"Yes, please allow me to introduce myself!"

Xiao Li suddenly gave Xiao Ying a thumbs up and gave her a bright smile.

"My name is Rock Lee! Sakura, please date me! I will protect you with all my might!"

"I do not want."

Sakura immediately refused.

"..."

Sasuke looked at the farce that suddenly unfolded in front of him in a daze, and also confirmed that Xiao Li did not have any ill intentions.

Sasuke silently left in front of Sakura... Because he was standing in front of Sakura, Sasuke also faced the soul-shaking smile of Xiao Li just now.

Naruto raised his hand and patted Sasuke's shoulder, expressing sympathy for Sasuke's situation.

His other hand waved gently, beckoning Sakura: "Let's go, Sakura, there's no time to waste on nonsense."

"Wait, wait for me, Naruto!"

Seeing that Sasuke and Naruto were not by her side, Sakura hurriedly walked around Lee and walked towards them.

However, when Team 7 passed by Ningji and Tenten.

"Please wait a moment!"

Just when everyone thought the farce was over, Xiao Li called out to everyone in Class 7 again.

"What else do you want to do?"

Sasuke frowned and looked at Lee.

"Sasuke, would you like to spar with me for a bit?"

"Little Li!"

Ningji, as Lee's companion, spoke up to stop him from making another sudden decision.

"Don't worry, just stop there. If you walk fast, you can get to the 15th training ground from here in 44 minutes."

As he said that, Xiao Li looked at Sasuke: "This is also good for you. I can see from your eyes that you are eager to fight against the strong... Sasuke, even if you lose to me now, it will not affect the exam, and you can also obtain information for your companions-right?"

"Why are you talking to me as if I will definitely lose to you?"

Sasuke stared at Xiao Li intently, his originally dark eyes had turned red.

A single pitch-black magatama appeared in both eyes.

"Sharingan! Sasuke!"

I didn't expect Sasuke would choose to fight when time was so tight.

Sakura tried to stop Sasuke, but Naruto grabbed her hand to stop her from disturbing Sasuke.

"Naruto?"

Sakura looked at Naruto in confusion.

"Sakura, Sasuke has made up his mind."

Sakura's eyes froze when she heard Naruto's explanation.

She said no more and quietly retreated to Naruto's side, and together with Naruto, she paid attention to Sasuke who chose to fight with Rock Lee.

Noticing Naruto and Sakura's actions, Lee said, "You have two great companions, Sasuke."

"I know this kind of thing myself, and I don't need you to remind me."

Sasuke followed Lee's movements with his red eyes.

Naruto watched Sasuke and Lee from the side.

In the original work, Sasuke gained a single-eyed, double-magatama Sharingan during the battle with Haku in Wave Country.

During his training before the Chunin Exam, he transformed both of his eyes into double magatama.

But now Haku and Zabuza have been secretly dealt with by Naruto, and Sasuke has missed a rare opportunity for growth.

In the original work, even Sasuke with the double magatama Sharingan couldn't beat the current Rock Lee.

Not to mention that Sasuke's current Sharingan still only has a single magatama.

"Then I'll take action first."

Xiao Li took a defensive stance.

He stood upright, with one hand behind his waist and the other hand stretched forward with his palm aligned with his chest.

Xiao Li's movements were not fast to begin with, and the Sharingan could easily capture all the details of his movements.

The starting move of Taijutsu?

Sasuke was guessing what kind of physical technique Rock Lee would use, and he underestimated his enemy a little.

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu.

Of the three techniques, Taijutsu is the easiest to see through by the "Observation Eye" property of the Sharingan.

Sasuke moved his eyeballs - but at that moment, Xiao Li disappeared from his sight.

"What!?"

Sasuke was horrified, and his Sharingan didn't even see how Rock Lee disappeared.

It seems as if Xiao Li no longer exists now.

"Is it an illusion?"

Sakura was also confused.

The speed at which Rock Lee disappeared was faster than the average instant body-flickering technique, so Sakura naturally thought that Rock Lee was using some kind of illusion.

However, the technique that caused Xiao Li to "disappear" still falls within the definition of instant body movement technique.

The definition of the Flickering Technique is: using one's own chakra to achieve high-speed movement, making it seem as if you have disappeared into thin air to others.

Escape techniques, high-speed physical techniques, and space-time ninjutsu such as Flying Thunder God—

——As long as the effect of "instantaneous body movement" can be achieved, it can be collectively referred to as "instantaneous body movement technique".

Xiao Li's disappearance was the result of high-speed physical skills.

It’s just that Xiao Li’s speed is too fast, which gives people the illusion that they don’t know when he used illusion.

Naruto didn't answer Sakura, but just looked behind Sasuke.

Naruto's gaze had just fallen when Rock Lee appeared behind Sasuke.

Everything was done in a flash!

Xiao Li, who was squatting behind Sasuke, raised one foot and kicked towards Sasuke.

"Konoha Tornado!"

Unable to withstand the huge impact of Rock Lee's kick called Konoha Whirlwind, Sasuke was lifted into the air.

"hateful!"

Sasuke, who was hanging in the air, had completely stopped underestimating his enemy.

He looked back at Xiao Li in the air, but Xiao Li disappeared just like before.

The Sharingan still couldn't see through Rock Lee's movements.

"Fire Escape——"

Sasuke immediately gave up the battle strategy of using the Sharingan to see through Lee's actions.

Xiao Li's disappearance will inevitably lead to his reappearance to attack him again.

Sasuke raised his hands, ready to form a fire seal, and relied on his intuition to attack wherever Rock Lee appeared next.

That's too late.

Naruto stared at Sasuke's hands flying in the air...

Before Sasuke touches his hands together and makes a hand seal, Rock Lee's attack will arrive first.

"The assembly time for the second exam is less than 15 minutes!"

Naruto suddenly shouted at this moment.

"What! Is there only so little time left?"

Surprised at how quickly time passed, Lee responded to Naruto's words.

Sasuke's eyes widened. Lee's voice came from behind his ear - very close.

"That's enough, Xiao Li! Don't lose the big picture for the small! You will be disqualified from the exam!"

Neji also intervened in the battle.

Xiao Li twisted his body in the air and landed lightly back to Neji and Tenten.

Sasuke also rolled over and staggered back to the ground.

Xiao Li noticed the hand seals on Sasuke's hands that were pressed together.

"It looks like we haven't decided the winner, Sasuke."

Xiao Li looked at Sakura for a moment, then returned his gaze to Sasuke again: "I actually heard that Sakura has someone she likes... Sasuke, next time I will definitely defeat you and prove myself to Sakura!"

"If you have poor eyesight, just wear a pair of glasses. When you can see clearly, girls will like you."

Sasuke closed his Sharingan and his eyes returned to their normal black color.

He was too lazy to explain the misunderstanding to Xiao Li.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto.

Naruto is the same. He seems to be unaware of the change in Sakura's attitude towards him since the Land of Waves.

Sasuke sometimes feels anxious when he looks at me...

"Let's go, Xiao Li."

Tiantian once again told Xiao Li that time was running out.

"I'm sorry, Neji, Tenten, for asking you to stay here with me."

Xiao Li expressed his apologies to his companions.

The three members of Team 3 used the teleportation technique to leave together.

Now there is only Class 7 left.
