Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 96 invalid

Standing beside Gaara, Temari felt a sudden gust of wind rising from the ground. Looking back, he found that Gaara beside him had disappeared. He looked at Nara Shikamaru in the stands, then turned his eyes, and then turned his eyes to Rock Lee who was excited and showing off with Akai under his guidance.

At this time, Akai was teaching Rock Li with a mysterious and proud face, pointing to Rock Li to pay attention to the huge gourd on Gaara's back, as if no one else had noticed it except him.

Locke Li also cooperated very well and took out a notebook from the ninja bag, intending to record Akai's words, but was stopped by the other party. Jump up and down the stands.

"Locke Li?" Seeing this, Shikamaru, who was not far from Rocke Li and the others, hesitated a little, and decided to remind the other party: "The ninjas in Hidden Sand Village are not easy to deal with, you'd better be careful."

"Shikamaru!?" Rock Lee, who had one foot on the railing, looked over in astonishment when he heard Shikamaru's words. He didn't know why he had never been in contact with Shikamaru, but he was able to get a friendly reminder from the other party.

Rock Lee took part in the Zhongnin exam and had always regarded Shikamaru as one of his main opponents, so the two had little contact. At this time, Shikamaru suddenly reminded Rock Lee, which was indeed beyond the expectations of many people.

"Nara Shikamaru is!" It was Akai who was standing behind Rock Lee who was the first to break the slightly silent atmosphere. After hearing Shikamaru's words, he gave Shikamaru a thumbs up and grinned, revealing a whiteness that reflected the light teeth, and said heartily: "Don't underestimate Xiao Li, he is very strong!"

"Thank you, Shikamaru." Although Rock Lee couldn't figure out what Shikamaru was thinking, he still thanked him aloud, and then said confidently: "However, I won't lose here. I'm ready to fight you!"

The self-confidence of Akai and Rock Li is not without reason. Just unloading the load in a single round and using Locke Li, who is out of the lotus flower, few of the ninja who took the test can resist, let alone have eight Dunjia and Li Luo. Lianhua is the trump card of Li Luoke. Once used, the super speed even surpasses many junin. It is not a jnin who can deal with it. Among the candidates present, Gaara is the only one who can passively defend because of the power of the crane. In addition to this stormy attack, including Shikamaru and Hinata Neiji, two rookie kings who were placed high hopes by Konoha villagers, no ninja had an effective method to block Rock Lee's high-speed attack. Taijutsu, but without the absolute defense like Gaara, there is only one way to defeat.

Of course, Shikamaru knew the thoughts of Rock Lee and Akai. Akai knew that after the preliminaries were over, he still had at least one month to cultivate. Locke Li, who has Li Lianhua's guarantee, is already unstoppable in this exam, but he never thought that his cherished subordinate would meet Jinjuriki of Sand Hidden Village, a real monster whose strength has already surpassed Genin. It's the turn of the defensive ability, which is even several times stronger than most junin.

Just because he knows Rock Lee and Akai's confidence, Shikamaru can't say anything more, and can only hope that he can do it for himself. After all, he is not a person who talks shallowly, and he has nothing to do with Rock Lee, but he behaves abnormally. It's really easy to make people suspicious, so I have to cheer up and pay attention to the game.

Whether it is Gaara's Absolute Defense or Rock Lee's Lianhua, they are all skills that Shikamaru cares about. Shikamaru is not willing to miss this opportunity to observe with his own eyes.

…………

After Li Luoke came to the field and stood still, Moonlight Galewind asked the two of them whether they had any objections to the opponents of this round as usual. After getting a negative answer, they announced the start of this round.

As soon as Moonlight Gaara's voice fell, Gaara, who was already impatient, launched an attack first, and the huge gourd behind which Li Luoke had been paying attention to spewed out strands of yellow sand, quickly permeating Gaara's surroundings, and then from inside Split one and rushed towards Rock Lee who was a little surprised.

"Sand!?" Hatake Kakashi on the stand saw Gaara's attack method, he couldn't help but let out a small gasp, and said in surprise, "It's really a rare ability."

Seeing that Gaara was manipulating the yellow sand attack, Li Luoke quickly dodged to dodge, and quickly changed his route, and approached Gaara's body. With a twist of his waist, his right leg had already brought the sound of the wind, piercing the air, as if He slashed at Gaara's neck like a battle axe.

"Snapped!"

Before Locke Lee's attack was about to fall on Gaara's body, Gaara didn't even move, just turned his eyes, still maintaining the movement of arms crossed, and a wave of yellow sand was already blocking him, just in time Rock Lee's attack was parried, causing him to return in vain.

Seeing that his attack hadn't achieved the expected effect, and the yellow sand that resisted his horizontal kick had a pervasive posture, Rock Li quickly folded back, but on the way he changed direction again and rushed towards Gaara.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Rock Lee exploded his physical strength continuously, constantly changing directions around Gaara, whipping his legs, swinging his fists... Several consecutive high-speed attacks were useless, and Gaara easily dissolved him into invisible.

In the stands, Rock Lee's companions couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this situation every day: "How is that possible!?"

Li Luoke's high-speed physical skills and extraordinary leg skills have always been his proud capital. Although he did not show his full strength at this time, Gaara seemed to be more than capable at this time. All of Locke's attacks are useless. This performance makes Tiantian who is familiar with Rock Lee's physical skills feel incredible. Of course she doesn't know that Gaara's sand shield is not consciously manipulated by herself, but an automatic defense. She thought it was Gaara has completely mastered Rock Lee's attack rhythm, and consciously controlled Huang Sha to resist a series of attacks.

"What, this watermelon rind is not very good..., it's so loud!" Qiu Dao Dingci couldn't help frowning after seeing Li Luoke's performance. , but in connection with the rhetoric released not long ago, it is far from enough, and it is no wonder that Choji Akimichi has such an idea.

"Is that all there is to it!?" In the field, Gaara seemed to have the same idea as Choji, and his face that had been indifferent until now finally changed. The corners of his mouth were drawn into a slightly disdainful sneer. He said, "It's my turn to attack!"
