Ch 412: Banned!

Boom——

His movements caused air to vibrate, and with a single Charge, he shattered all the stone slabs beneath his feet!

The Blast Wave even reached the spectators in the stands; if we were to calculate the wind speed, the wind near Rock Lee had truly exceeded a level eight gale!

At such speed, even the slightest graze would cause flesh to separate. Gaara’s sand was insufficient; he could only use the sand gourd on his back as a last-ditch defense against Rock Lee’s attack.

Boom!!!

With one blow, Gaara’s life hung in the balance.

The audience was silent.

Only someone muttered something unintelligible: “It’s over, he’s finished~”

Everyone was stunned by Rock Lee’s Fighting Ability.

Are you telling me this is a fifteen-year-old Genin?

Among the Genin present, who would dare to take a hit?

Even Neji Hyuga, acknowledged as possibly the strongest Genin in this session, couldn’t guarantee that his Rotation could withstand this blow.

Although Rotation is touted as the strongest defense, there are too many techniques and people who claim to have the strongest defense. Essentially, it’s still an application of Chakra; if the Power surpasses a certain limit, a hit like that would leave one crippled, if not dead!

After the punch, the field was in ruins.

Rock Lee was smoking, lying on the ground. On the other side, in the dust, Gaara was silent, whether knocked unconscious or killed was unknown.

But Gaara was originally quite a withdrawn Child.

Shhh shhh shhh——

The sound of flowing sand broke the silence of the Exam.

“What! He can still move!”

“What kind of Monster is that!?”

Even if Gaara were stronger, he couldn’t withstand the Five Gates Inner Lotus at this stage without his mother’s defense and Shukaku’s Chakra support.

As everyone knows, even if a Jinchuriki’s original physique is average, their physique after becoming a Jinchuriki is definitely not bad.

Gaara, slowly rising, didn’t look at Rock Lee lying there, but wiped his forehead.

“Heh…blood—”

With a perverse expression, Gaara felt the pain of injury for the first time.

“It’s over, that guy…”

In the stands, Kankuro showed no concern for his brother, but rather a deep-seated fear.

Hearing Kankuro’s words, Temari frowned, looked at Rasa sitting expressionless on the other side, then at Gaara in the arena, lost in thought.

In the arena, Gaara covered his head with one hand, the other in a claw-like shape, reaching towards Rock Lee.

“Sand…Bind…”

“Ouch!”

Thump——

Yuta, like a ball, flew from the stands into the arena, landing on his backside in front of Rock Lee, blocking Gaara’s spreading sand and startling Gaara.

“Oof—Naruto! Why did you push me?!”

Yuta rubbed his bottom, got up, and yelled at the stands.

In the stands, Naruto looked bewildered.

No, I didn’t even touch you!!??

Could it be that I was too excited and accidentally knocked Yuta out???

Seeing Yuta’s indignant expression, Naruto even began to doubt himself.

In the Konoha section of the stands, Kushina fiercely pinched Minato’s arm.

“That brat, always slandering our Naruto! Minato, you don’t control him!”

Kushina, who had been acting like a virtuous wife and mother in front of Yuta, was now gnashing her teeth.

Minato smiled awkwardly, not daring to remove the small, white hand that had twisted his arm twice.

“The child meant well, Kushina, forgive him~”

Minato leaned closer, whispering to Kushina.

So many people in the arena, anyone with a little skill could see it.

You, a parabolic gliding entry, how could you possibly have been pushed from the stands? You just needed a tailpipe and some tassels for a jet-propelled entrance!

“Please do not disrupt the Exam!”

Hayate Gekko sharply addressed Yuta.

But he also realized that Rock Lee might be unable to fight again.

“Gaara wins!”

“Coffin!”

Gaara didn’t care about the win or loss; he just wanted to kill the person in front of him, whether Rock Lee or Yuta!

The sand suddenly raged, sweeping up fragments of stone bricks, about to engulf Yuta.

“Stop!”

Kai finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He vanished from the stands with a Body Flicker, then kicked away Gaara’s sand claws.

What hard sand, what strongest defense, Kai is just kidding you!

Not only was the sand dispersed, but Gaara’s Chakra controlling the sand was also severed!

Kai appeared in front of Yuta, and Red appeared in front of Gaara, forming Hand Seals with one hand, as if if Gaara dared to move again, Red would unleash a Genjutsu bombardment.

Hayate Gekko appeared behind Gaara, a Senbon shimmering with silver light between his two fingers, pressed against Gaara’s neck.

“This match is over. Please leave the arena and do not disrupt the following Exams!”

Gaara gritted his teeth, his mouth twitching from the exertion.

He didn’t hate these people for stopping him, but hated that so many people cared about those two.

He, Gaara, was the strong one, the victor.

“Please leave the arena!”

Seeing Gaara remain motionless, Hayate Gekko raised his voice again.

This time, Gaara lowered his hand, retracted the scattered sand, and silently walked towards the exit.

His back looked lonely and somewhat pitiful.

In the arena, Kai, eyes filled with tears, lifted Rock Lee.

Rock Lee had lost his Will, but his body didn’t collapse, his eyes remained open, but his pupils were unclear.

Hugging Rock Lee, Kai turned to thank Yuta.

“Thank you, Yuta!”

“Huh? What?”

Yuta scratched his head, looking somewhat silly.

“Hey? I did something good?”

Nodding heavily at Yuta, Kai left the arena with Rock Lee.

Red headbutted Yuta.

“Ouch ouch ouch!”

Grabbing Yuta’s ears, Red also left the arena with him.

“I know you meant well, Yuta, but next time call a Sensei first, understand! In such a dangerous situation, isn’t it the same if you and Rock Lee are injured?!”

Red was furious.

Rock Lee might still have Fighting Ability, but what can you, Yuta, do besides run? You tried to block a skill for Rock Lee, can you even outrun the Five Gates Rock Lee?

Yuta shrugged.

It’s just a Sand Binding Coffin, that sand is barely enough for a sunbath, it’s completely harmless~

But Red’s concern made Yuta feel something unusual.

Because the bond between Yuta and Red seemed to exceed his expectations.

He saved Rock Lee because he had high hopes for him and wanted to see how far he could go if he wasn’t seriously injured.

But Yuta hadn’t thought of saving Asuma!
