The First Battle Against Lee

"You go first. I am worried that you won't have a chance if I take action." Ryoha walked to the stairs and sat down.

"Humph, I will return these words to you. You won't have any chance to do so if I make a move." Sasuke arrogantly said, but he did not dare to activate his Sharingan carelessly. Just from watching Lee's actions, he knew that he was no ordinary ninja.

"The Sharingan, eh? Truly a genius ninja." Rock Lee expressionlessly indicated that Sasuke could go ahead.

"When did Sasuke awaken the Sharingan? And he has two of them, one more than Kakashi." Sakura looked at Sasuke strangely. She did not notice it since she was busy protecting Tazuna last time.

"The number of Sharingan does not represent the power of the Sharingan. Kakashi-sensei has the 3-tomoe. One of them has the 1-tomoe, and the other has the 2-tomoe. It is undeniable that the Sharingan is a powerful Bloodline Limit."

"But it does not mean that it is omnipotent. If the Sharingan is as strong as Sasuke said, The Uchiha clan will not be wiped out. Now, the one who rules Konoha is not Senju Hashirama. There is also the Third and Senju Tobirama.

Ryoha now had a lot of rights to speak because he was a user of the Sharingan as well. He did not deny the power of the Sharingan, but it was not perfect. He also had learned about the flaws and weaknesses of the Sharingan.

There could be a Bloodline Limit that was comparable to or even stronger than the Sharingan. A ninja who relied too much on their Bloodline Limit would not achieve much. On the contrary, a ninja who could use Bloodline Limit but did not wholly rely on the Bloodline Limit could stand proudly at the top of the Ninja World.

"Really? But I saw that Kakashi-sensei is very powerful with his Sharingan." Although he wasn't alone, Ryoha wasn't as selfish as usual.

"Kakashi-sensei is a veteran of hundreds of battles. As an outsider, he can use his Sharingan to a level that puts countless people of Uchiha to shame. Kakashi-sensei has already regarded the Sharingan as a part of his body. Although in a battle, he didn't completely rely on his Sharingan to fight."

"Don't be fooled by Kakashi-sensei. On the contrary, look at Sasuke. His battle is completely dependent on the Sharingan. Without the Sharingan, he's trash and may not even be comparable to Naruto." Ryoha pointed to Sasuke, who was already beginning to be beaten.

"Ryoha, you're really amazing." Sakura's eyes immediately lit up. However, for her, who was still mediocre, everything Ryoha said was right. It was possible that she would only grow after experiencing the Chuunin exam.

"Leaf Gale!" The battle had already ended. Because he still had to fight with the stronger Ryoha, Rock Lee didn't use his forbidden technique. Instead, he used his most basic taijutsu. But even so, Sasuke still didn't have the strength to fight back. He couldn't stand up after being continuously attacked.

"Hehe. Now I think your sense of superiority after awakening the Sharingan is gone, right? Rock Lee is right. What you are proud of is Uchiha's legacy of Sharingan. If the Sharingan is useless, then you are trash. Why do you think in the ninja world we have ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu? Is it only about ninjutsu? Then why do they need taijutsu and genjutsu?"

Ryoha said as he passed by Sasuke who was lying on the ground. He no longer paid attention to Sasuke who was looking at him with a pale face.

"Rest for a bit. Your taijutsu is based on physical fitness. Although dealing with this useless guy doesn't take much energy, since this is just a spar, not a life and death battle, then I think it is better to be fair." Ryoha said.

"Okay." Although Rock Lee did not consume much energy, he felt that Ryoha's words were very reasonable. At the same time, he looked at Ryoha more seriously, as if he was the biggest enemy.

Ten minutes later, Rock Lee stood up and moved his body, indicating that he was ready.

"Come on." Ryoha and Rock Lee were fighting against each other. In addition to stealing jutsu, Ryoha wanted to see the power of a taijutsu master, though, with this current Rock Lee, that was still to come.

"Leaf Hurricane!" Rock Lee directly rushed to Ryoha. In Sasuke's eyes, he directly disappeared and then appeared in front of Ryoha. However, what made Sasuke's eyes widen was that Ryoha did not dodge at all. Instead, he stood in place and easily pinched Lee's calf with one hand.

Lee's taijutsu, which beat him earlier, was nothing in front of Ryoha. This hurt Sasuke. The Sharingan he was so proud of was also defeated. He now knew that the Sharingan was not as omnipotent as he imagined. He was not invincible with them.

"Good!" Rock Lee loudly exclaimed. At the same time, his other leg swept over. The powerful force brought out a sound that cut through the air. If it lands, it would be very bad.

"Leaf Gale!" Ryoha's eyes flashed. Before Rock Lee's other leg swept over, the hand that was holding Lee's calf suddenly pulled hard, bending his body. He could only use one hand to step on the ground as a leverage point just like Naruto before.

However, just as his hand pressed down on the ground, Ryoha had already used Rock Lee's ultimate move, the Leaf Gale, which directly kicked Lee's right hand.

"Ah..." Rock Lee cried out in pain. However, he was worthy of being a long-term body exerciser. Although his right hand was injured, he was sent flying backward. Before he was about to turn into a rotating spinning top, his left foot stepped on the ground and pushed his whole body to the ground. However, he covered his right hand.

"This person is really as strong as Guy-sensei said. His strength is even greater than mine, a proud taijutsu user. How is this possible? That speed completely surpassed me. I heard that his strong point is ninjutsu. But right now, he can suppress me with just taijutsu. It's so terrifying." Lee looked at Ryoha in disbelief. On the side, Sasuke also did the same.

"So strong. Ryoha immediately learned Thick-brow's ultimate move." Sakura looked at Ryoha and said.

"Does he has a Sharingan or something? Even my Sharingan could only record a jutsu to be learned later, but this guy could copy them instantly." Sasuke was already a little numb from the repeated blows.

"Do you still up for it?" I know you still have a lot of powerful taijutsu, but those should be a great burden to your current body. Should we continue this in the Chuunin exam?

Ryoha felt that it was very interesting to fight with such a person in the Chuunin exam. Rock Lee was especially stronger after he opened the inner gates. However, he did not want Rock Lee, who had spent a lot of effort in order to become stronger, to lose his opportunity because of this.
