Rock Lee's intelligence was clearly in no state to comprehend it.
Just when Uehara Naraku thought another exhilarating battle was about to unfold, he saw Rock Lee suddenly fall to his knees, biting his lip: "Senior Uehara, I don't want to hurt you, please stop!"
This guy kneeled the moment he met me?
Uehara Naraku fell into an eerie silence for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "We are all from our respective villages, Lee, you should know that I have no way out now."
Uehara Naraku looked at Lee, who was bowing his head and sobbing, and softly persuaded him: "Lee, stand up! I know you're able to activate the Kinjutsu again. Only by fighting to the death for the sake of our villages can we live up to our original intent of becoming ninja."
Uehara Naraku glanced at one of his own side missions and shouted: "Lee, if you hold back, I will think that you look down on me! Stand up! Stand up now, if you dare to hold back, I will look down on you!"
Rock Lee slowly raised his head, gritting his teeth, and his Chakra burst forth as if it were tangible, blowing away the seats in the audience with tremendous momentum: "Sorry, Senior Uehara, I will do as you wish... Fifth Gate, Limit Gate, Open!"
With the Eight Gates released this time, Rock Lee was clearly much more prepared and trained, far stronger than he was a month ago.
At least now, his body could withstand the power of the Limit Gate.
Unfortunately, Rock Lee could only open the Fifth Gate - Limit Gate; if he could open the Sixth Gate, he might have been able to put up more of a fight against Uehara Naraku, but now it wasn't quite enough!
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
A strong gust suddenly rushed towards Uehara!
Uehara Naraku abruptly crossed his arms, activating the Spiky Defense state, forming an orange grid-like barrier around him, allowing Rock Lee to kick it with full force!
The tremendous rebound force sent Rock Lee flying backward uncontrollably!
Uehara Naraku curled his lips into a smile, darted forward, and slammed his arm into Rock Lee, forcibly sending him back further, causing Rock Lee to crash into half of the grandstands and fall into the ground below.
In the Limit Gate state, Rock Lee had merely Jonin-level strength, making him virtually unable to resist Uehara Naraku...
"Sorry, Lee."
After dispatching Rock Lee with two moves, Uehara Naraku darted towards the direction of the Four Violet Flame Array; if he didn't get there soon, the Third Hokage and Orochimaru would perish together!
Side mission: Defeat Limit Gate Rock Lee (1/1), mission accomplished, reward: Strong Wrist skill.
Strong Wrist: Can increase the power and attack speed of the right hand through Chakra accumulation, skill cooldown time 1 second, minimum Chakra consumption 100 points.
Uehara Naraku didn't even know how to complain about it.
This skill is really called Strong Wrist instead of Single for Twenty Years? Moreover, he could already use Chakra to enhance his strength!
It's just not as precise as the skill control.
Uehara Naraku descended from the sky above the Four Violet Flame Array, raising his right arm, and with a hint of white light on his fist, he slammed it down fiercely on the Four Violet Flame Array!
Crack!
A clear crack appeared on the Four Violet Flame Array!
The next moment, the entire Four Violet Flame Array exploded with a roaring sound!
The Sound Four were defeated and vomited blood due to the fracture of the Four Violet Flame Array!
Orochimaru's expression flickered as he raised his head and looked at the Rain Village Ninja youth who shattered the Four Violet Flame Array with one punch, clenching his teeth in hatred: "Uehara Naraku, that bastard!"
Orochimaru's summoned First Hokage Senju Hashirama and Second Hokage Senju Tobirama Reanimation Bodies were still battering Sarutobi Hiruzen. Just as the Third Hokage was about to be unable to hold on, Uehara Naraku came to disrupt his plans again!
"Orochimaru, I'm here to help you!"
Uehara Naraku slowly lowered his head and looked at Orochimaru, saying: "Someone paid a very high price to have me help you kill the Third Hokage."
"I don't need it."
Orochimaru shook his head, pointing at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had no power to fight back, and coldly said: "Can't you see I'm about to kill him?"
"This isn't about what you want or don't want."
Uehara Naraku looked at Orochimaru and calmly said: "Orochimaru, you should understand what I mean, no one dares to refuse my assistance."
Orochimaru: "..."
If it weren't for the critical moment, Orochimaru really wanted to teach Uehara Naraku a lesson with the Reanimation Puppet bodies of the First and Second Hokage!
But he feared encountering the same situation as four years ago... what if Uehara Naraku summoned that giant shark capable of devouring souls again, wouldn't his effort be in vain?
Orochimaru gritted his teeth in hatred and coldly said: "Uehara Naraku, just say it, what exactly do you want?"
"You can't understand what I'm saying?"
Uehara Naraku frowned, then looked down at the far-off Sarutobi Hiruzen who was trying desperately, and his figure instantly vanished in mid-air.
The next moment, Uehara Naraku's figure appeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen with Shunpo, a Chakra Broadsword appearing in his hand, ready to thrust it through Sarutobi Hiruzen's chest!
However, this elderly man was surprisingly nimble!
No, he just ducked down to avoid it and tightened his grip on the Vajra Ruyi Staff formed by Enma to block Uehara Naraku's attack!
"Doing something like this, it seems to have no meaning whatsoever..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uehara Naraku, furrowing his brows tightly and spoke in a deep voice: "All these days, I thought you would be a friend to us in Konoha."
