Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 66 Hot-blooded Xiao Li
"Round [-], winner Hinata Neji."

Compared with victory, perhaps Hinata's change made Neci happier. It was not only the promise Hinata made, but her personal actions to let Neji know that some things can really be changed and that you should really try.

"That white-eyed boy named Hinata Neji is a bit strong."

Kankuro, who had never taken Konoha genin seriously, now had to admit that Neji was indeed worthy of being called a genius.

"Should be stronger than that Sasuke." Gaara said indifferently, feeling a little regretful that he didn't let himself meet him.

"By the way, it's your turn soon." Temari was already qualified and felt no pressure, and she was confident about the battle they were about to start.

At this time, the individual battle has gone on for seven rounds, and there are still two rounds left for four people who have not yet competed, namely Hein, Xiao Li, Gaara, and Kankuro.

Except for the injured players who retired and the team leader who left due to personal matters, everyone else stayed in the stands on both sides to watch the game. They probably all knew that the highlight was next.

In the stand on the attention side, the three of Lu Renjia had gone to the lounge to play chess from the very beginning of the game. They had no interest in this kind of scene.

To the right of his position was Team [-]. Sasuke and Kakashi had already exited, leaving only Naruto and Sakura.

On the left is Team Kai, the third team. Tiantian was injured and left the field. Neji went to the hospital, leaving only Master Kai and Li.

At the top of the stairs is Team [-] Yuhi Kurenai. Both Hinata and Kiba have been injured, and only Kurenai and Shino are left.

And in the stands opposite, all the members of Team Maki were present, all members of Team Asuma were also present, not a single member of Team Kabuto was left, and Iruka and Anko were watching the game with the third generation on the inside.

Although the rules do not explicitly state that members of the same team cannot fight against each other, judging from the previous rounds this is the default.In other words, Gaara will not fight Kankuro. The opponent to be careful is either Gaara or Kankuro.

"Xiao Li, I have had conflicts with Gaara before. He can over-control the sand and attack very dangerously. Kankuro is a puppet master and cannot be underestimated."

Heyin didn't care about Kankuro, but Gaara's strength at this time was unclear, and he wasn't sure even if he faced him.

"Okay, pay attention, there are only two of us left in Konoha, so work hard! I still want to avenge Tenten!"

Xiao Li's eyebrows stood up and he waved his arms, ready to move.

"Round [-], Rock Lee versus Gaara."

Hayate announced loudly in the field, and inadvertently looked up at Hesou. The final ninth round was between Hesou and Kankuro.

"Xiao Li, youth is invincible!"

Kai gave a thumbs up, his white teeth shining brightly.

"Good teacher Kai!"

Xiao Li, who was about to play, stretched his arms and raised his legs in the stands, doing warm-up exercises.

Gaara's body on the other side turned into fine sand and floated to the field.

"Hmph, a boring battle." In Kankuro's eyes, no one can defeat Gaara, but he is already preparing for the next duel with Hein.

Xiao Li held up the pole with one hand, then jumped over the hurdles gracefully, jumped out of the stands and jumped steadily to the opposite side of Gaara.

Both sides were ready, Gaara stood motionless with his arms crossed, and the lid of the gourd behind him opened with a soft "bang".Xiao Li held it with one hand and bowed politely. When he saw the strange gourd, he thought that he must have noticed that it contained sand.

"start!"

Xiao Li took the lead and rushed forward to fight in close quarters. First, he hit Gaara head-on with a heavy cannon punch. Unexpectedly, Gaara didn't even raise his eyelids, and the sand in the gourd automatically formed a sand shield to defend against his attack.

Xiao Li took advantage of the situation and threw a back punch, followed by a high hook kick. He continuously changed his body position in the middle, continued to sweep his legs from a low position, and then performed a forward kick.

Even though Lee was constantly changing his position with his fists and kicks, Gaara still never moved a step, and the sand shield would always block Lee when he hit.Xiao Li's strong attack was fruitless, and Gaara began to fight back. The sand formed several tentacles that grabbed Xiao Li, and Xiao Li moved left and right to dodge one by one.

A tentacle suddenly grew in size and covered a large area. Xiao Li had nowhere to hide. He spiraled into the sky and jumped into the sky, finally landing on the hand-seal finger statue on the podium.

"How can that sand block automatically?"

Naruto had tasted Xiao Li's iron fist and admired Xiao Li's speed, but Gaara's sand made him feel even more weird.

"Sand Shield is an automatic defense ability that is not controlled by Gaara's will, that is, a passive skill."

On the other side, Kankuro showed off and seemed to be talking to himself.

Xiao Li, who stopped on the statue, frowned. The opponent's defense speed was too fast. If he didn't speed up, he wouldn't be able to hit him.

As he was thinking about it, Kai nodded his head in front of him. He immediately became excited, took off the leggings on his feet, and dropped the weight from a high altitude.

She originally thought that Xiao Li was just Temari struggling to her death, but when she saw the heavy object shattering the floor and sending up billows of dust, her mouth unconsciously formed a round shape.

Everyone was surprised, "Does he usually wear such a heavy thing?"

Xiao Li suddenly felt as light as a swallow, his movements were as fast as lightning, and he leaned forward and punched like a shooting star. Gaara's sand shield had no time to defend and hit the face directly.

The speed was so fast that everyone couldn't see it, and then he punched in quick succession. The afterimage was full of my love Luo Mu's expression, and the last move Konoha Whirlwind knocked him down to the ground.

Kankuro had an incredulous expression on his face, gripped the railing with his fingers and muttered, "Impossible"

Gaara climbed up, and the sand on his body fell off like armor fragments, revealing his intact body.

"Let me just say, no one can break Gaara's absolute defense." Kankuro said happily.

The Sand Armor is different from the Sand Shield in that it requires the use of Gaara's chakra, but it protects the entire surface of the body.

I saw Gaara finally moving, forming seals with his hands, and those sand tentacles instantly became like hammers hitting Xiao Li hard.Xiao Li narrowly dodged and looked at the floor that was smashed by the sand hammer, and he was slightly frightened.

No matter how fast or powerful he was, he still couldn't break Gaara's absolute defense. Xiao Li also knew this. He showed a determined look and untied the bandages on his hands. Gai in the stands tensed up. He knew that Xiao Li was going to use What a trick.

That is Lotus. As a high-speed physical technique, it can only be learned through extreme physical exercise. Moreover, after using it, it will cause an irreversible load on the body, so it is classified as a forbidden technique.

But he allowed Xiao Li to do this. As Xiao Li didn't know ninjutsu or illusion, he could only take this path of ultimate physical skills.

Kai recalled that when he was a child, Xiao Li was like a tail-end person. He was ridiculed and looked down upon, but he always worked hard and stupidly. It was this self-improvement and hard-working character that deeply moved him.

"Lee! March forward to youth!"

Kai gave the order with a wave of his hand, and Xiao Li was inspired. He rushed in front of Gaara and leaned over to kick his chin.

"Shadow Dance Leaf!"

He kicked Gaara high into the air with several more consecutive kicks, and then turned over and jumped behind him. The bandage untied in his hands quickly wrapped Gaara into a rice dumpling, then hugged his body, turned around and spun at high speed, like The Cyclone Poison Dragon Diamond hits the ground directly.

"Beauty Lotus!"

The stone slabs with a radius of five meters on the ground were instantly shattered, flying sand and stones filled the sky with dust, and Gaara was lying motionless in the pit.

"Won?"

The scene in front of him made Naruto swallow hard. He really didn't expect that Xiao Li could be so strong. Then his body began to tremble, thinking that he seemed to be using this trick on Sasuke.
