Chapter 33 Neji, the Victim
"Oh!"
With Lee's powerful thrust, Sasuke's body, moving like a flying brush, flew all the way out of the training ground until it crashed into a large tree and came to a stop!
Ignoring the pain in his body and his sprained wrist, Sasuke quickly pulled out a kunai and remained on guard.
But when he looked up...
At this moment, Xiao Li was standing still, with one hand in front and the other behind his back as always, and he did not pursue at all!
It seemed that for him, the moment he knocked Sasuke away was nothing out of the ordinary and not a rare opportunity at all, so there was no need to seize it.
After all, improving physical skills is a long-term, cumulative process.
However, the strength of protagonists like Naruto and Sasuke always increases explosively.
Before the explosive growth could even take off, it encountered a formidable opponent like Xiao Li, whose base stats were incredibly high, and was naturally crushed.
However, it would be difficult for Sasuke himself to agree with these principles.
[Ding! Sasuke's emotional value +999!]
Sasuke gritted his teeth, a strong sense of resentment rising in his heart once again.
After losing to Akali, is he really going to lose to such an unknown nobody?
In that case, where does the dignity of the Uchiha clan go?
We cannot afford to lose like this!
With this determination, ignoring the pain in his body, Sasuke's ten fingers flew rapidly like butterflies passing flowers, flashing through a dazzling array of hand seals!
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lee's eyes: "After witnessing the gap between us, you still won't admit defeat, and instead want to use ninjutsu to make a last-ditch effort?"
"Very well, I will prove to you that even if I only know physical skills, I can still defeat you!"
Xiao Li lay face down, mimicking the preparatory movements of a sprinter before a final sprint.
At that moment, Sasuke's ninjutsu was ready!
"Fire Release: Wind Sage Fire Technique!"
From Sasuke's mouth, a dozen or so flames, resembling flying balsam seeds, scattered.
Small fireballs, radiating intense heat, surrounded Xiao Li, as if he were being controlled.
This is also why Sasuke chose the Phoenix Flower Flame. The Phoenix Flower Flame's attack can be controlled to some extent with chakra, while the Great Fireball is just a one-hit kill.
Faced with such ninjutsu, Lee was slightly startled, but remained calm.
Since Sasuke can control his Phoenix Flame so skillfully, let's all compete in terms of agility.
Xiao Li runs forward, sometimes stopping abruptly and retreating, sometimes circling in an S-shape, and then shaking in a Z-shape.
Even though Sasuke was trying his best to control it, his Sharingan could still clearly see Rock Lee's trajectory.
But seeing something and being able to do it are two different things.
Lee successfully broke through Sasuke's Phoenix Flower Fire barrier and arrived in front of Sasuke, where the two entered a face-to-face exchange of blows!
"it's over!"
Standing next to Akali, Neji looked away and said, "Lee still gave the Uchiha some face!"
"But Tian Tian is Tian Tian, Xiao Li is Xiao Li, and I am me."
Staring at Akali, Neji's cold, sharp white eyes held a palpable malice:
"I told you, some things aren't yours, so even if you get them, don't use them!"
"Regarding the cost of this mission... Akali, do you have any explanation for that?"
As the last word fell, Neji activated his Byakugan.
With his chakra surging, bulging veins appeared around his eyes and even on part of his cheeks!
Coupled with those pure white, ghost-like white eyes, an invisible pressure swept over you.
Neji's act might scare others, but it wouldn't scare Akali.
“Explain what?” Akali retorted to Neji. “That’s money Hinata gave me. I can allocate it however I want.”
"And what right do you, a mere branch family member, have to meddle in the affairs of the main family's eldest daughter? You should really know your place!"
[Ding! Neji's emotional value +999!]
Akali's words were absolutely devastating.
Neji's face turned a deep purplish-red. If looks could kill, Akali would be riddled with holes by now!
But when it comes to matters concerning the main branch and the sub-branch, Neji really couldn't say anything.
Looking at Akali's pretty face covered by a mask, Neji could only manage to utter a few words after a long while: "I won't hold back!"
"Ha, as if you can beat me!" Akali said dismissively.
She knew that issuing this kind of task might be misunderstood by Neji, but she still chose to come to Team 2 to train Naruto and Sasuke. Wasn't it because she was confident in her abilities?
Seeing Neji's dark expression and silence, Akali continued to lash out:
"Speaking of which, haven't you always disliked Hinata?"
"What, are you suddenly feeling a bit adorable because of a change of heart?"
"It's a pity that even if you like Hinata a lot, you can't get close to her, but it's different for me!"
Akali said smugly, "I've not only held Hinata, but I've also touched her. You don't know, Hinata's skin is fair and smooth, and it feels warm to the touch, just like white jade. Even with a little pressure, it still feels wonderful to the touch."
"And that tiny waist, those back dimples, those well-trained long legs, that bear, tsk tsk!"
Akali smacked her lips dramatically, making a very noticeable sound, like a female hooligan.
Hearing this, Neji felt as if he had become Hinata and was being humiliated by Akali, and he got an erection!
Of course, I'm referring to fists.
[Ding! Neji's emotional value +999!]
"Enough, Akali!" Neji growled, his face filled with the murderous intent of a victim. "Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
"Let's go!" Neji prepared to go up and fight Akali.
But then Akali looked towards the field and said, "It's not over yet!"
"Huh!!?" Neji turned his head in surprise.
It's definitely not over yet. Faced with Lee's rapid and relentless attacks, Sasuke was in a terrible state, but he managed to hold on!
"Why is this happening?" Neji didn't understand.
In his view, Sasuke was inferior to Rock Lee in terms of speed, strength, and skill, as evidenced by that Leaf Whirlwind.
Therefore, Sasuke should have lost long ago!
What exactly happened when he was talking to Akali?
"Ah, I see, I understand now!" Akali had figured out Sasuke's situation.
If Lee continues to use the combination of strength and speed to attack Sasuke as he did at the beginning, then Sasuke will definitely lose.
However, in order to dodge the Phoenix Flame, Lee kept dodging and weaving, and did not use his speed when he got close to Sasuke. The two of them were just fighting face to face.
In that case, although Lee's punches and kicks were incredibly fast, they were still a bit short of being able to defeat Sasuke immediately.
Because Sasuke faced an even stronger attack than this during the Akali incident!
Practice makes perfect!
Moreover, pressure can also be a source of motivation!
"I can see it! I can see it, I can see it!"
As Lee punched and kicked, Sasuke's eyes widened and widened, the single black tomoe spinning in his iris, almost becoming a blur!
Finally, Sasuke's right eye's single tomoe suddenly contracted and merged into the pupil, which was now just a small black dot. Then, as if a round of mitosis had occurred, the second tomoe appeared!
