After lunch, the two teams slowly made their way towards a training ground, treating it as a way to digest their food.
By the time they arrived at the training ground, they had mostly digested, and it wouldn't hinder their fight.
As soon as everyone stood still, Xiao Li stepped forward, extending his bandaged hand: "Then, I'll ask for guidance first. Who will be my opponent?"
Yamashiro Rinne decisively stepped forward: "I'll do it!"
The others stepped back one after another, leaving the space open. Kai served as the referee, and after the two formed the confrontation seal, he immediately shouted "Begin!".
Xiao Li instantly darted towards Yamashiro Rinne, his speed astonishing.
"Leaf Whirlwind!" Swish! A whip kick swept over with wind.
"Good timing!"
Yamashiro Rinne also became excited at this moment, raising his hand to block Xiao Li's whip kick, only to feel its immense power, even his arm was numb from the shock, and he immediately made some judgment about Xiao Li's strength.
When Xiao Li swept another whip kick, he no longer blocked it, but chose to evade.
Stomping his foot, the Body Flicker Technique erupted, and he instantly flashed behind Xiao Li, his punch heading straight for Xiao Li's back of the neck.
However, Xiao Li was extremely sharp, actually tilting his neck to avoid it, and counterattacked behind him with a punch and a palm, getting faster and faster, actually forcing Yamashiro Rinne to retreat step by step.
Kato Megumi watched with a tense expression, wanting to shout encouragement but afraid of disturbing them.
Tenten smiled and patted her head: "Don't worry, although Xiao Li is very reckless, he is very measured when sparring and won't hurt your boyfriend."
Kato Megumi blushed slightly, stubbornly saying: "He, he's not my boyfriend yet..."
Not yet, means it's almost there, just missing a confession, right?
Tenten smiled without speaking.
On this side, Yamashiro Aoba's expression was not good: "This guy Runya, his taijutsu is still far behind. How has he been training on a daily basis?"
It was clear that Yamashiro Aoba had high expectations for this clan cousin of his, was usually strict, and had taught him everything he knew. Now seeing that Yamashiro Rinne's taijutsu wasn't great, he immediately got angry.
Natsuki could only advise: "Aoba-sensei, don't be angry. It's not that Runya's taijutsu isn't good, but that Xiao Li's taijutsu isn't weak. Teacher Kai is Konoha's number one taijutsu expert, it's normal for the disciples he teaches to be powerful in taijutsu."
Yamashiro Aoba naturally understood, but his own taijutsu wasn't weak either.
If the clan cousin he taught lost too badly in taijutsu, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?
Actually, Yamashiro Aoba was expecting too much. It was true that his taijutsu was powerful, but Yamashiro Rinne had only been learning from him for a very short time! Even a genius has a growth process, right? Compared to that, Xiao Li had been learning from Kai for over a year. It was normal for him to be more powerful. If Xiao Li, on the contrary, was at a disadvantage in taijutsu, wouldn't that be unfair to Xiao Li's desperate training for over a year?
In the battle circle, Yamashiro Rinne saw that he couldn't beat his opponent and decisively used the Four Illusionary Appendage Technique, wanting to maneuver with four hands.
"Four Illusionary Appendage Technique? Natsuki and Tenten have both used it, I'm familiar with this move!"
Xiao Li wasn't flustered at all, but instead sped up his attack, and before long, he blew up the two hands behind Yamashiro Rinne.
Yamashiro Runya forced himself to calm down, and quickly used the Art of Scattered Crows to control the crows to harass Xiao Li, while he looked for an opportunity to attack with the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, which indeed caused Xiao Li quite a bit of trouble.
However, in the end, Xiao Li burst out from the flock of crows and completely knocked down Yamashiro Runya.
"Rock Lee wins!"
With Kai's announcement, the battle came to an end.
Yamashiro Runya made the reconciliation sign with a mournful face, and for a moment, he didn't have the face to look at Kato Megumi's expression, feeling that he had lost face in front of his beloved.
Xiao Li, however, reached out his hand and smiled sincerely: "Runya, right? You're very strong! I look forward to fighting you again!"
Yamashiro Runya was stunned, and immediately felt even more ashamed. The opponent's strength and mentality were both stronger than his own, so it seemed normal that he couldn't defeat him.
So he took a deep breath, reached out and shook Xiao Li's hand: "Xiao Li is strong, but I will train hard, and I won't lose to you next time!"
"Oh! What a youthful friendship!"
Kai suddenly howled, with wide tears streaming down his cheeks, looking very strange.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Li also suddenly started crying: "Oh! I'm also very moved! Teacher Kai, this is youth!"
"Xiao Li!"
"Teacher Kai!"
The big and small Kappa hugged each other, and behind them was a freeze frame of waves crashing on the shore, so beautiful that it made others feel embarrassed.
Tenten just felt her mouth twitch, and forced a smile: "Heh, hehe, everyone doesn't need to mind, just get used to it."
Yamashiro Runya and Kato Megumi immediately cast sympathetic glances at Tenten: Sister Tenten is really not easy!
At this time, Yamashiro Runya walked up to Kato Megumi and lowered his eyes, saying: "Megumi, I'm sorry, I lost."
Kato Megumi, however, said in a gentle voice: "Yes, I saw. But it's okay, you'll win next time. Let me see if you're hurt anywhere? I'll heal you."
Upon hearing this, Yamashiro Runya immediately scratched his head with a silly smile, and the two of them started showing affection on the spot.
Seeing this, Yamashiro Aoba didn't want to scold his clan brother on the spot, and also saw that his clan brother had trained for a short time, thinking that he would need to add more training later.
Soon it was the second match, which was naturally Kato Megumi against Tenten, and the result was naturally without suspense, Kato Megumi lost very cleanly.
To be honest, Kato Megumi's strength is not bad among Genin, and coupled with starting to learn Medical Ninjutsu, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is an excellent Genin, but who made her opponent Tenten.
Tenten's strength is already able to fight Neji for a long time without losing without using her trump card, not to mention that the Water Release Ninjutsu used by Kato Megumi was taught by Natsuki, and Tenten is too familiar with Natsuki's moves, so it is natural for Kato Megumi to lose, but fortunately, Kato Megumi was not in a bad mood because she lost.
At this time, Neji stood out: "Natsuki, it's been almost a year, I'm very happy to fight you again!"
Natsuki also stepped forward: "It seems that Neji, you have trained very hard this year, but I haven't been standing still either, I won't hold back this time either!"
"Then let's go all out! I want to see how far I can fight with you!"
As Neji spoke, he directly activated the Byakugan, and with a start from Kai, he actually charged forward on his own initiative.
Natsuki was not ambiguous either, he quickly formed hand seals and pressed them on the ground: "Earth Release: Earth Wall!"
Neji quickly braked, and just as a earth wall suddenly rose from the ground in front of him, if he hadn't stopped just now, he would have been pushed into the air by the earth wall, and at that time, he would have been full of weak points, no different from a target.
It can be seen that Natsuki's control of timing is still very precise.
Moreover, Neji avoided this earth wall, but it was not over yet. He saw earth walls rising behind him and on both sides, and even the top of his head was covered by earth walls.
For a time, he was trapped in a matchbox-sized earth house.
