Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
The figures of the two flashed continuously across the field.
The intense battle captivated everyone's attention, and no one knew who would emerge victorious in this fierce fight.
"Teacher, do you think Sasuke can win?" Sakura asked Kakashi.
This question wasn't easy to answer. From the current situation, the two were in a state of balance.
It was hard to predict who might win.
Seeing Kakashi hesitate slightly, Sakura grew even more concerned.
"Could that guy really defeat Sasuke?" she wondered.
What surprised Naruto even more was that Lee might actually defeat Sasuke.
After all, even he had never considered the possibility of beating Sasuke.
Kakashi nodded, "It's not impossible."
"Sasuke's Lightning Release: God Speed enhances his speed by utilizing the nature transformation of lightning release," he explained. "But this only improves his speed. Lee, on the other hand, is different. The Eight Gates technique makes Lee's speed and strength incredibly terrifying!"
"Moreover, the chakra explosion creates a defensive effect, strengthening Lee's defense as well!"
"So, Sasuke has to use his ninja blade both to defend and attack against Lee!"
Kakashi glanced at the two in the field.
"At this stage, Sasuke is faster, but his attacks haven't hurt Lee, while Lee's attacks are very strong. If Sasuke doesn't defend with his ninja blade, he'll be heavily injured in an instant!"
"Now, this battle has become a test of endurance!"
Crack!
Sasuke was suddenly knocked back, crashing heavily into the wall, and the loud rumble made everyone hold their breath.
"Sasuke was hit?" Sakura asked.
Just now, Kakashi-sensei said that if anyone was hit, the battle would be over.
Does this mean Sasuke… has lost?
Zzzzzz!
The chaotic thunder roared loudly.
It was clearly different from the explosive speed of Sasuke's Lightning Release.
Kakashi was stunned for a moment. "What a Sasuke, he actually used Chidori for defense in an instant!"
As he spoke, Kakashi's face broke into a smile.
As the smoke cleared, large lightning snakes crackled around Sasuke.
'Chidori Flow…'
Sasuke panted lightly. Just as he was struck earlier, he had forced out the Chidori Flow.
Using Lightning Release: God Speed while activating Chidori required excellent chakra control!
Lee was also catching his breath.
After a series of intense attacks, Sasuke had perfectly defended himself and even countered with more powerful attacks.
This surprised Lee.
He had finally found an opening to hit Sasuke, but now, looking at his burned bandages on his fist…
'A defensive Lightning Release technique?'
'There's such a technique!'
'As expected of the genius Sasuke, even developing defensive Lightning Release moves!'
Lee turned to look at his teacher.
In that instant, Guy understood Lee's thoughts.
"Go ahead!"
"If you want to do it, do it! This kind of opponent deserves your full effort!"
Seeing his teacher's smile, Lee also smiled.
"Sasuke, it looks like I have no choice but to bring out my final trump card!"
"If you don't have a stronger move, then victory in this battle will be mine!"
The final trump card.
Shikamaru and the others' faces twitched. Was there really a trump card in this situation?
What kind of monster is Lee Rock?
Sasuke is already terrifying, but this guy seems almost as bad!
"Guy, if this goes on, something bad will happen!"
"Kakashi, at this point, no matter the reason, nothing can stop a man who has made up his mind from issuing his final challenge to his opponent!"
...
"Eight Gates: Fifth Gate!"
"Gate of Pain!"
"Open…"
Boom!
As he opened another gate, Lee's momentum instantly soared to another level.
Even Sasuke felt a sense of pressure.
The Fifth Gate of the Eight Gates Technique this is not looking good!
If Sasuke were to have any confidence in being able to stop the Eight Gates, it would only be with one move.
'Lightning Release: Endless Thunder Pool!'
But this move required several minutes of preparation time.
It was too late now.
So all that was left was…
"In that case, I won't hold back anymore. What happens next is beyond my control, Lee!"
The moment the words left Sasuke's mouth, the thunder around him began to change.
"Whirlwind Thunder!"
Crack!
Accompanied by an ear-splitting thunderclap.
Sasuke's Lightning Release chakra began flowing in a different way.
Large lightning snakes leaped from his body.
"This guy... is there any difference from before?" Shikamaru looked at Sasuke, who didn't seem much different.
Choji frowned and said, "It seems Sasuke's Lightning Release chakra is somewhat uncontrollable now!"
"It doesn't look like Sasuke can stop Lee this time," Ino said, worried.
However, upon hearing their doubts, Kakashi smiled.
"Don't underestimate Sasuke!"
"This move, Whirlwind Thunder, may not look different, but the difference is huge!"
At this, the Jonin were all curious.
"Kakashi, what's the difference?" Kurenai asked.
"Sasuke developed this technique, Lightning Release: God Speed!"
"There are two forms. The first one is the lightning-fast speed he used earlier."
"In this form, Sasuke controls his body with his mind and releases extreme speed with Lightning Release!"
"But the second form, Whirlwind Thunder, is different!"
"Although it's still Lightning Release: God Speed, Sasuke can't control it in this form. It relies entirely on his body's reflexes to respond to his opponent's movements!"
"In this state, thinking isn't even necessary. This is the true ultimate speed of Lightning Release: God Speed!"
Crack!
In the next moment, Lee had just moved to strike, and his left arm twitched slightly.
However, the next scene showed Sasuke turning into a flash of lightning, appearing beside Lee in an instant.
With a punch crackling with thunder, Sasuke slammed his fist into Lee's right cheek.
As soon as Lee was hit, he attempted to counterattack, but the next second, Sasuke had circled around and appeared behind him.
With a powerful kick, he struck Lee's back.
The exaggerated movements during Sasuke's move left everyone at the scene dumbfounded.
Even the Third Hokage was stunned.
Though Sasuke's actions were exaggerated, almost inhuman, his speed had increased several times over compared to before…
