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

The protection provided by the fire wall gave Sasuke precious time to think of a strategy for fighting Rock Lee.

Sasuke also took this opportunity to recover as much of his physical strength as possible that had just been consumed by Rock Lee's high-speed physical skills.

He looked at Xiao Li standing on the statue with his dark eyes, hesitating whether to use the Sharingan...

In the previous battle with Rock Lee, Sasuke’s single magatama Sharingan was unable to see Rock Lee’s movements clearly.

Now, he has awakened the double magatama Sharingan because of the curse seal. With each additional magatama of the Sharingan, the power of the pupil will be strengthened.

Perhaps the double magatama Sharingan could allow him to see through Rock Lee's actions.

But... after repeated consideration, Sasuke gave up the idea of ​​using the Sharingan now.

Sasuke could feel the continuous burning pain from the curse seal on his shoulders and neck. He had just used the Great Fireball Technique.

Sasuke has found that he is vaguely unable to suppress the curse seal.

Using the Sharingan requires more chakra, and if he keeps his eyes open for a little longer, his will will be taken away by the curse.

and……

Sasuke looked at Kakashi who was in the stands diagonally above him.

Kakashi happened to meet Sasuke's gaze as he looked over at him.

Kakashi had made it clear in his previous conversation with Sasuke that if Sasuke could not control the curse seal, he would step down to stop the game.

At that time, Sasuke would end the match with Rock Lee in defeat.

Sasuke's gaze moved from Kakashi to Naruto and Sakura beside Kakashi.

Class 7 has worked so hard to persevere until now, how can they fail here so easily?

Think, Uchiha Sasuke!

This is already the second fight with Rock Lee - use the intelligence from the two battles to analyze the weaknesses of this tricky guy!

Then, Sasuke indeed discovered a clue.

The wall of fire did surround Sasuke's body, forming a defense that could effectively restrain Rock Lee's physical skills.

But the wall of fire couldn't protect Sasuke's head.

Sasuke had to leave some space to ensure the flames would burn with oxygen and not hinder his breathing.

Xiao Li is now standing on a high place and can see Sasuke's actions clearly.

All Xiao Li needs to do is change his attack method and replace physical skills with ninjutsu.

The wall of fire protecting Sasuke will turn into a cage that shackles Sasuke in an instant!

But Xiao Li chose to continue to wait and see, instead of attacking with ninjutsu...

why?

Are you worried that I have made a backup plan?

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and paid attention to Xiao Li's every move. He felt that he was about to figure out why Xiao Li insisted on using only physical skills to attack...

……

In the stands, Naruto stared at the expression on Sasuke's face and realized that Sasuke had become suspicious of Rock Lee's behavior of only using physical techniques.

So what will Sasuke do next?

Even if Sasuke finally discovered that Rock Lee didn't use ninjutsu and genjutsu because he couldn't use them.

But how will he take advantage of Xiao Li's weakness of only knowing physical skills?

It’s like “people die when they are killed,” which is something that even toddlers know instinctively.

Suffocation, poisoning, bleeding... death has countless weaknesses.

But knowing the weakness of death and killing someone successfully - are two completely different things.

Judging from Sasuke's performance in the original work, he was eroded by the curse seal and even had difficulty dealing with the Red Copper Armor's physical skills.

His body was successfully touched by the Red Copper Armor, which sucked away his chakra, causing the curse seal to be activated again.

However, with Rock Lee's current strength, he is able to fight against Gaara in his normal state despite the disadvantage of having no information and only knowing physical skills.

Inferring based on the original work, all of Sasuke's current actions are just useless struggles, a ridiculous persistence that only delays his own failure.

But this world brings too many variables in the details to Naruto.

Naruto also changes the direction of the original plot because of his defection plan.

The course of events is roughly the same, but no one can guarantee that the end point will be the same as in the original work.

Naruto was very interested in Sasuke's next choice.

Will Sasuke lose the game "without any suspense"?

Or in the name of Uchiha's genius, he "naturally" won over Rock Lee?

Naruto temporarily shifted his gaze away from Sasuke and Rock Lee who were still in a stalemate.

As if he was casually glancing at Might Guy who was standing next to Neji and Tenten from Team 3 not far away.

"Kakashi, your student is really amazing... In such a short time, he has already noticed that Rock Lee has many opportunities to use ninjutsu, but he has only used taijutsu to attack."

The next moment, it seemed like Might Guy, the adult version of Xiao Li, suddenly appeared in front of Class 7 in the stands.

Gai praised the excellence of the students brought up by Kakashi, his close friend and rival.

But more than that, he couldn't wait to show off to Kakashi that his student was better than him.

"Xiao Li! Take it off!"

Kai, who was talking to himself in front of Kakashi, suddenly gave a thumbs up to Lee in the game: "I allow it!"

"Take off what?"

Sakura didn't understand Kai's riddle-like words.

Naruto moved his gaze to Xiao Li's feet.

Xiao Li removed the iron bandages from his left and right feet.

He threw the iron block and the belt to the ground, causing a huge impact!

Then, Rock Lee, who had not attacked since Sasuke used the fire wall defense, launched an attack again!

Without the restraint of weight, Xiao Li's speed becomes even faster!

This time his figure disappeared completely, and even his afterimage could not be captured by anyone!

Xiao Li disappeared in the hall, and in his place appeared a gust of wind that was enough to extinguish the wall of fire protecting Sasuke!

That was the fire-extinguishing wind that Xiao Li created at an astonishing speed!

Wind helps fire.

But if the wind is stronger than the fire, it is not impossible to extinguish the fire.

Xiao Li used the high-speed sweeping wind to distort the shape of the flame, turning the fire wall into a semicircular fire cover!

The flames around Sasuke in turn completely enveloped Sasuke.

It is impossible to see Sasuke's figure in the flames!

In just a blink of an eye, the flames completely disappeared and Sasuke was exposed to everyone's sight again.

"Shadow Dance Leaf!"

This is the move that Rock Lee and Sasuke used when they first fought!

Rock Lee used physical skills to instantly get behind Sasuke and kicked Sasuke into the air!

As Sasuke flew into the air, Rock Lee also jumped into the air and stood parallel to Sasuke, below him.

"I won't let you use ninjutsu this time!"

The bandage on Xiao Li's arm wrapped around Sasuke's entire body!

He hugged Sasuke and actually spun Sasuke in the air at high speed, and then made Sasuke hit the ground headfirst!

The physical technique that Xiao Li is using now is called - Lotus Flower!

The powerful impact caused the floor of the hall to change, with rocks and dust rising up, which was enough to show the power of the lotus!

But Sasuke endured this move with his physical body!

"how come!"

Sakura never thought Sasuke would lose in this way.

"Kai, you actually taught your students this kind of absurd technique..."

Kakashi was surprised that Gai would teach Lee this kind of physical technique that could injure the enemy by a thousand but hurt himself by eight hundred.

Only Naruto was staring quietly at Sasuke, who was lying on the ground with his neck held by Rock Lee and had fallen into unconsciousness.

"I won, Mr. Kai! Did you see that?"

Xiao Li excitedly shouted to Kai in the stands.

He has already defeated the genius Uchiha - his efforts were not in vain - and his next target is the opponent he really wants to defeat, the genius of the Hyuga clan who is both his companion and rival, Hyuga Neji!

After the excitement, Xiao Li staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Renge needs to use the Eight Gates to enhance the power of physical skills, and each gate of the Eight Gates will cause damage to the user's body.

It was perfectly normal for Xiao Li to almost trip over himself.

However, for the ninjas who are still fighting, this is their biggest weakness!

Sasuke, who was originally unconscious, suddenly turned into thick smoke and disappeared!

What Xiao Li caught with his Lotus Flower was just Sasuke's shadow clone.

With Naruto as his companion, who uses Shadow Clone as his main fighting method, it would not be surprising if Sasuke, who has the Sharingan, learns Shadow Clone as well.

It was an extremely bold move for Sasuke to use shadow clones which required evenly distributing his own chakra when he needed to use chakra to suppress the curse seal.

But this action also brought victory to Sasuke!

On the messy ground, the mud was brought out by Xiao Li's lotus.

Sasuke's hands just appeared in the soil, seizing the opportunity when Lee's body was not used to it!

In the strong wind when Rock Lee was putting out the fire, Sasuke seized the opportunity when the fire wall turned into a fire cover and hid his real body underground, using his shadow clone to lure the enemy!

The first thing Lee wanted to do was get rid of Sasuke.

But it's too late!

Sasuke emerged from the soil and clamped Xiao Li.

Lee was also unable to immediately break free from Sasuke because of his use of Lotus Flower.

“You should have heard of it too!”

In Sasuke's red eyes, two black magatama appeared in his pupils.

Xiao Li just stared into Sasuke's Sharingan!

"Don't look an Uchiha in the eyes in a one-on-one situation!"

That is... an illusion!

Even the most basic illusions were difficult for Xiao Li to deal with.

What's more, this basic illusion is enhanced by the power of the Sharingan!
