Naruto: Sasuke Reborn – No Clan Massacre! No Injustice！

"Oh~ This Kekkei Genkai is really rare."

"Huh?! Do you know about it, Teacher Gai?"

Tenten looked at the oblivious Gai. She didn't expect that although Teacher Gai looked rough, he had such a rich knowledge reserve.

"Well, I've only heard of it. It's an extremely rare Kekkei Genkai - Shikotsumyaku, the ability to freely manipulate osteoblasts and osteoclasts and control the calcium concentration to form bones. It is said that the hardness of the bones can even exceed that of steel!"

"Freely manipulate osteoblasts and osteoclasts? But this scene in front of us is just too exaggerated!"

Kimimaro all over his body was covered in bones like a hedgehog. This degree had already exceeded the scope of Kekkei Genkai, right?

"I'm afraid the reason why that young boy has such powerful abilities is still related to his Sage Transformation. The Sage Mode can enhance the user's Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu, so his bones have grown explosively."

"Rock Lee, come on!"

.............

"Tsk, why is Kimimaro being so serious with those spoiled brats? He even used the Sage Mode."

Hearing the comment from Ukon beside him, Sasuke couldn't help frowning. Spoiled brats? The Rock Lee he knew was not such a person.

He hadn't had a close friendship with Rock Lee in both past and present lives, but that thick - browed guy always left a deep impression on others with his own efforts.

Rock Lee opened the Five Gates of the Eight Gates during the Chunin trials. However, due to the severe after - effects of the battle against Gaara in his past life, he could only open the Sixth Gate later.

But now, in this life, with Gai and Neji forcibly interrupting Gaara's attack, Rock Lee wasn't hurt at all. If he continued to train like this, he might be able to open even higher gates.

Thinking of Gai opening the Eighth Gate in the previous life and almost killing the Six - Paths Madara Uchiha, Sasuke was a little worried about Kimimaro.

Don't be careless!

............

"Oh, Kimimaro, your moves are really strange. I won't give up either."

"Only if you can break through my Sage Mode · Shikotsumyaku · Dance of the Larch."

"Then I won't be polite to you either."

Rock Lee's round eyes, his expression suddenly changed. His momentum suddenly soared, and green Chakra gushed out, magnificent.

"Eight Gates, the Fifth Gate, the Limit Gate, Open!"

His skin turned red. His figure disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant. When he was spotted again, he was behind Kimimaro.

He lifted his single leg high and swept a fierce kick at Kimimaro's head. Although Kimimaro had defended in advance, Rock Lee's speed was too fast. Even with the Sensor ability of the Sage Mode, Kimimaro was still a little slow.

He lost his balance and fell backward. Rock Lee wasn't doing well either. His leg hit the hard bone and trembled in pain.

Kimimaro stepped back. The long Bone Whips protruding from his palms danced nimbly, forming a circular defense net that forced Rock Lee away from his side. Rock Lee really didn't gain any advantage for a moment.

"Amazing! It's the first time I've seen someone dodge my attacks in the Fifth Gate state. To show my respect, I'll go all out next."

"Humph! Come at me then!"

Rock Lee readjusted his stance, jumped backward to create some distance, and let out a loud shout.

"Eight Gates, the Sixth Gate - View Gate! The Seventh Gate - Wonder Gate, Open!"

This time, Red Chakra overflowed from Lee's body surface.

"Rock Lee can even open the Seventh Gate!"

Sasuke was truly shocked. The red Chakra on Lee's surface was actually red blood evaporating from the pores on his skin.

At this stage, it was no longer just simple Taijutsu, but moves with extremely strong lethality.

"I'm the Blue Beast of Konoha! Take this, Roar of the Blue Beast!"

The red Chakra vapor on Lee's surface gathered into the shape of a tall and powerful beast, opening its huge mouth and charging towards Kimimaro. It was not only incredibly fast but also had unparalleled power.

It was obvious from the situation that Lee was determined to fight it out with him.

Kimimaro looked at Lee in front of him. He also decided to go all out to show the greatest respect to his rival.

"Sage Transformation · Shikotsumyaku · Dance of the Seedling Fern"

Thousands of sharp bones grew from his body, gathering together in a spectacular sight, directly confronting the incoming Roar of the Blue Beast.

For a moment, the arena of the preliminary round was affected by the shockwaves of their attacks. Fissures appeared on the sturdy walls, and the statues in hand - seal poses collapsed with a loud noise.

Apparently, the arena of the preliminary round could no longer accommodate the clash of these two masters' powers.

In the center of the cyclone, the two actually reached a draw in an instant. As time passed, both of them began to feel exhausted.

The offensive gradually weakened, and it was not until the last moment that Kakashi jumped out and announced.

"I declare this match a draw!"

"What? Wait a minute, Teacher Kakashi. The bout isn't over yet. I still got some steam left... Ouch..."

Rock Lee moved a little, and tears welled up in his eyes involuntarily. It was so painful. The after - effects of opening the Seven Gates were too severe.

"Right! It should be our victory. Kimimaro is still standing there fine. He's in much better shape than that thick - browed guy. It should be us who win!"

Karin shouted discontentedly from the side. Only to see Kimimaro, who was standing still, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, slowly flowing down his chin. He raised the back of his hand to wipe it gently, but then coughed out a large mouthful of blood.

Kakashi looked at the arrogant girl in the stands with a smile and said.

"I said They're pretty much on a par. Besides, it's just a strength test match after all. Let's just end it here and call it even."

...

"Are you Rock Lee? I'll remember you."

...

"Where... Hurts..."

Although Rock Lee wanted to have a chat with Kimimaro, the intense pain all over his body made it difficult for him to even speak. He grinned in pain and could only stare blankly at Kimimaro's departing back.

"Come on! I thought I could make a friend. What a cold - hearted guy!"

"Sasuke, I'm sorry. I lost."

Kimimaro walked up to Sasuke, hung his head guilt - strickenly, and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

"Why are you apologizing to me? You didn't do anything wrong. You're very strong, and so is Rock Lee. So it's a draw between you two."

"Sasuke... but I started the first match so poorly..."

"Don't fret. Moreover, there are still a lot of your comrades standing behind you."
