"Rock Lee's skin has actually turned red, and his Aura is so powerful!"
"Hmm? Is this the Eight Gates? It is indeed strong, but I didn't expect Rock Lee could open the Fourth Gate. No wonder Might Guy passed the Eight Gates on to him. In terms of Taijutsu alone, Rock Lee is truly a Genius."
...Just as the other Jonin were discussing Rock Lee's Taijutsu Genius, on the field, Uchiha Sasuke, seeing Rock Lee's astonishing Aura, decided not to hold back anymore.
"You have earned my respect with your strength, so I have decided to use my full power."
"Be careful not to die!"
"Myriad Sword Art!"
In the air, Uchiha Sasuke's Flying Sword once again split from one to two, two to four, four to eight... Just as Rock Lee was poised to attack, the Flying Swords behind Uchiha Sasuke finished their technique.
"What... what is this situation."
"Is this some kind of Secret Jutsu?"
"Does the Uchiha clan have a Secret Jutsu like this?"
...Before the Jonin could finish expressing their surprise, Uchiha Sasuke, having successfully deployed the Myriad Sword Art, directly controlled more than ten Flying Swords to attack Rock Lee.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~"
Rock Lee, who had opened the Fifth Gate, used his superior speed to perfectly dodge these Flying Swords.
"Has his speed reached this level?"
Uchiha Sasuke, with his Sharingan active, found it difficult to clearly see Rock Lee's movements.
Fortunately, he hadn't thrown all his Flying Swords into the attack at once; there was still a large group of Flying Swords waiting behind him, ready for deployment.
"This speed is too fast for me to react to... Hmm, I'll do this."
Uchiha Sasuke did not want to kill Rock Lee. If he committed all the Flying Swords to the attack, even if Rock Lee's speed was heavenly, he would have no room to dodge in this 'cramped' space.
But if he used fewer Flying Swords, Rock Lee could dodge them perfectly.
This left Uchiha Sasuke in a difficult spot.
It was hard to both win the match and ensure Rock Lee didn't die.
Luckily, Uchiha Sasuke's mind worked fast, and he immediately thought of a solution.
While controlling some Flying Swords to harass Rock Lee, forcing him to move without attacking Uchiha Sasuke, he retreated and made the remaining Flying Swords hover around him, forming a circle.
And he stood inside this circle.
"Heh heh, what if your speed is fast enough? I don't believe you have a way to break this Hedgehog Formation."
That's right, Uchiha Sasuke's solution was to turn himself into a 'hedgehog'.
Want to attack me? Then you must first Break through my Hedgehog Formation.
How should one describe this method?
In any case, when Naruto saw this Hedgehog Formation, he immediately shouted that Uchiha Sasuke was too shameless.
"Shut up! What does shamelessness matter if it works?"
Did this shameless Hedgehog Formation work well?
It was indeed very effective against Rock Lee, who only used Taijutsu attacks.
Looking at the Flying Swords hovering around Uchiha Sasuke, even if Rock Lee could teleport, it would be useless. To attack Uchiha Sasuke, he would have to kick these Flying Swords away first.
Unfortunately, the Flying Swords were controlled by Uchiha Sasuke. As soon as Rock Lee kicked one away, a new Flying Sword immediately moved in to replace it.
No matter how much Rock Lee struggled, Uchiha Sasuke maintained a posture of crossing his arms, looking completely arrogant.
'Damn it, why hasn't the duration of this guy's Forbidden Jutsu run out yet?'
Actually, despite Uchiha Sasuke's appearance, he was panicking on the inside.
Maintaining the Myriad Sword Art required a massive amount of Chakra, and in just this short time, he had already consumed more than half of his Chakra reserves.
If Rock Lee's Forbidden Jutsu lasted a little longer, it could completely drain the Myriad Sword Art.
Unfortunately, the damage inflicted by the Eight Gates on the body was too great. Before the 'Myriad Swords' could disappear, Rock Lee's body could no longer endure it and automatically deactivated the Eight Gates.
"Hoo hoo hoo~"
The tearing pain in his muscles caused Rock Lee to collapse directly onto the ground, gasping for air.
Seeing that Rock Lee had deactivated the Forbidden Jutsu, Uchiha Sasuke also deactivated the Myriad Sword Art.
Touching his hair (actually secretly wiping away sweat), Uchiha Sasuke chuckled and said, "You are very strong... unfortunately, you met me."
After speaking, he walked up to the second floor without looking back.
"The winner is Uchiha Sasuke."
It was obvious that after the devastation caused by the Eight Gates, Rock Lee had lost his ability to fight.
Gekkō Hayate did not disqualify Uchiha Sasuke for leaving the arena first... "Fifth Match: Sakura Haruno VS Akimichi Choji."
When the match list came out, Akimichi Choji almost fainted.
All the examinees present knew that the three members of Team 7 were absolute monsters.
Now that he had to face such a 'monster', Choji almost wanted to forfeit.
Asuma, who knew exactly what his Disciple was like, looked at Choji and said directly, "If you win this match, I'll treat you to yakiniku. How does that sound?"
"Yakiniku?"
"Ah~ For yakiniku, I am fired up!"
Choji was a huge foodie. When he first entered the legend of jin yong heroes, while others were diligently Cultivating to become stronger, this guy used the money he had managed to earn to buy food everywhere.
Everything in the world can be let down, except delicious food.
Hearing about delicious food, he threw caution to the wind.
At this moment, he was filled with fighting spirit.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength could not be bridged by fighting spirit alone.
Under the 'bombardment' of Sakura's Five Elements Magic, Choji was knocked unconscious by a lightning strike before he even had time to use Partial Expansion Jutsu.
"The winner is Sakura Haruno."
..."Sixth Match: Temari VS Shino Aburame."
Shino Aburame was very strong. With his insects combined with Real-World Martial Arts, he was considered one of the stronger ones among The Young Ninjas.
Unfortunately, he met Temari, who used Wind Release.
Even if Shino's insects were powerful, he couldn't get close to an all-out Temari, let alone allow his insects to attach themselves to her.
It could be said that Temari was not only Tenten's nemesis but also Shino's nemesis.
"The winner is Temari."
..."Seventh Match: Uzumaki Naruto VS Inuzuka Kiba."
"Damn it, why do I have to fight Naruto."
Similar to Choji, Kiba seemed extremely unwilling after seeing the match list.
Because he knew he definitely couldn't beat Naruto, who had already learned the Sword Control Incantation.
He would rather fight the one from Sunagakure with the Gourd than fight Naruto.
However, he didn't know that even if he fought Gaara, the winner still wouldn't be him.
"Naruto, how about we make a deal?"
"What kind of deal?"
"Look, the Sword Control Technique Spell is too overpowered. If you use it, the match loses all suspense. To make the match more entertaining, how about we only use our inherent Ninjutsu and Real-World Martial Arts to decide the winner?"
Clearly, Kiba was trying to trick Naruto. If Naruto agreed not to use the Sword Control Technique, Kiba believed he would have a high chance of winning.
"Do you see the four big characters on my face?"
"What characters?"
"Wise and Divine Warrior... Do you know that four characters are also written on your face?"
"I have characters too? What are they?"
"Shameless Scoundrel!"
"Bastard, you tricked me!"(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"Damn it, you tried to trick me first! You think you can fool me? No way!"
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu~"
'Bang bang bang~'
Under the combined assault of Naruto's many Shadow Clones and the Sword Control Incantation, Kiba was instantly defeated.
"The winner: Uzumaki Naruto."
...With the end of the seventh match, the second stage tie-breaker of the Chunin Exams also concluded.
The examinees advancing to the Third Exam are, from Konoha: Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Sakura Haruno, Hyuga Hinata, and Nara Shikamaru.
And from Sunagakure: Kankuro and Temari.
Gaara received a bye and smoothly advanced to the next exam.
