章 78: Chapter 78
"Lee, forget it. You have no chance of winning against him," Neji advised.
"Even so, I will have a fight with him! This is a man's battle, please don't stop me!"
Rock Lee's face was firm, and his whole body was filled with chakra flames. The scent of youth burned around him.
"Even if you want to fight him, it's best to compete during the exam. If you are defeated here, we won't be able to participate in the Chunin Exam, idiot!"
Neji silently complained about this hot-blooded boy who had the same temperament as his teacher. When things happen, he will act recklessly without caring about the life and death of his teammates.
Only three people can take part in the Chunin Exam. If Rock Lee is defeated by Kazuki here, they really won't be able to participate.
After Neji's reminder, Rock Lee also woke up. Although he was not afraid of a fight with Kazuki, he had no confidence in winning. If he opened the Eight Gates, it would be absolutely impossible for him to recover before the end of the Chunin Exam.
Thinking that he had ignored the collective interests so much, Rock Lee apologized to his companions with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I'm too selfish. I will make a decision with Kazuki-kun during the Chunin Exams!"
Just when everything seemed to stop, Sakura stepped forward.
"Hey, can you please stop making decisions on your own? That classmate in the green tights, I don't like you, please don't pester Kazuki-kun!"
After being scolded by Sakura for a while, Rock Lee felt that his life had suddenly collapsed. His love seemed to be over before it even began.
"Well…as long as you are willing to be with me, I will protect you even if it costs my life!"
"With my sincerity!" Rock Lee said seriously.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Is sincerity good-looking? Can sincerity be used as food? Can sincerity protect me? Okay, okay, stop pestering us, or I will beat you without Kazuki-kun taking action!"
After that, Sakura left with Kazuki and the others.
This time Rock Lee did not pester Kazuki. He just stood there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.
Suddenly, a sentence came to his ears: "That person's eyebrows are so thick and ugly!"
Thick eyebrows! So ugly!
Six words swirled in Rock Lee's mind and finally turned him into stone!
Tenten sighed, came to Rock Lee's side, patted his shoulder, and persuaded him: "Okay, if she doesn't like you, don't pester her. And you are not the opponent of Gekko Kazuki. You're trying to steal his girlfriend, and that will only bring shame to yourself!"
Rock Lee looked hopeless.
Are these your words of comfort? Your partner is currently suffering from a heartbreak, and you actually said this. Have you ever considered the feelings of someone who's lovelorn?
"If you continue to be in a daze here, we won't be able to take the Chunin Exam this time!"
Neji came to Rock Lee's side and said coldly.
Thinking of the Chunin Exam, Rock Lee instantly resurrected with full health.
"Yosh! Although I can't win Sakura's love, I still have to prove to Gekko Kazuki the results of my hard work! I will prove to Sakura that I can protect her!"
"I know, I know, but if you don't leave quickly, the exam reports will be closed! You won't be able to compete with Kazuki in the Chunin Exam!"
…
The waiting place for the first Chunin Examination:
When Kazuki and the others stepped into the room, it was already crowded with people. More than a hundred genin from various ninja villages were crammed into the room, but no one was communicating. It was extraordinarily quiet.
The arrival of Kazuki and the others was like a drop of water falling into a river, without any ripples! But despite this, Kazuki and his group still attracted the attention of a large number of ninjas from other countries when they appeared so late.
More than two hundred pairs of eyes stared at Kazuki and the three of them, creating an inexplicable pressure.
Just when Sakura was nervous and at a loss, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"Kazuki-kun!"
A girl with light yellow hair rushed into Kazuki's arms and pressed close.
"I missed you so much!"
Kazuki smiled slightly, gently stroked Ino's hair, and said, "Long time no see, Ino."
"Since graduation, we have had a lot of tasks, and we haven't had time to see you," Ino said disappointedly.
"If love lasts for a long time, does it matter if it's day and night?"
Kazuki smiled slightly and said a poem.
For Ino and Sakura, who had only learned ninjutsu and history since childhood, such a sentence gave them a great shock.
"If love lasts for a long time…"
"And it's day and night…"
The two of them murmured, pondering the meaning of these words in their hearts. The more they thought about it, the more impressed they were by Kazuki's talent!
They didn't expect Kazuki to be not only handsome and powerful but also talented at writing poems – he created poetry on the spot!
They liked Kazuki-kun very much before, but now they admired him even more!
At this time, Ino's companions Shikamaru and Choji came over. Shikamaru, who was wary of trouble, was afraid that Ino's behavior would attract the attention of dangerous people, so he reluctantly persuaded her:
"Hey, Ino, can you be more reserved? We are at the venue of the Chunin Exam. You should be more careful not to attract the attention of a bunch of untouchable guys!"
"You care about me?" Ino replied mercilessly. "If I'm not afraid of them outside, why should I be in Konoha? With Kazuki-kun protecting me, am I still afraid?"
Shikamaru sighed and raised his hands in surrender. Kazuki's image in the class had always been invincible!
Even after graduating, Shikamaru still felt that few people could defeat Kazuki.
If this Chunin Exam can hold onto Gekko Kazuki's strength, it won't be easy to get eliminated!
Choji chewed snacks and interjected: "Yeah, as long as Kazuki is here, none of us are afraid. What are you scared of, Shikamaru?"
Shikamaru: "..."
He glanced around at the dangerous ninjas from various villages. Even if Gekko Kazuki can be invincible among genin, it's hard to say when facing hundreds of genin, right?
Low profile! Low profile!
Why doesn't anyone understand my painstaking efforts?
