Here comes my next Chapter, and I might make this Osaka and NAruto like someone suggested, its all subject to change. Anyway, here comes the second round,

Chapter 23: Genius Vs. Loser

Both Lee and Neji stood in the arena stairing eachother down, "Just give up now Lee, it's a miracle you made it this far, but there is no way you can beat me," Neji said. Lee only cringed hisFa eyes as memeries began coming back to him.

"Give it up Lee," said a young Neji talking to Lee outside the academy, "you will never pass, its best you just give up and save yourself the humiliation."

"Shut up!" Cried Lee, "I'll become a Ninja, just you wait."

"I won't lose to you Neji," Lee smiled, "I've worked to hard to lose here."

"Fate has already determaned you will fail, your body is proof enough of that," Neji smiled.

"Fate is only an excuse to run away," Lee retorted, "I will prove that hard work will pay off in the end."

"Try it, Byakuugen!" and NEji activated his Eye's. Lee Charged in full speed, Neji flipped back avoiding the strike, "I may not be as fast but I have far more agility to dodge with."

Lee led with another kick which Neji Parried and quickly countered with a shot at Lee's chest. Lee rolled back and shot back at Neji with a Kunai. Neji caught it in two fingers and threw it back. Lee dodged easily and began to think, We won't go anywhere like this, I'll have to use the Lotus.

Lee unwrapped his bandages and smiled, "This is it Neji," and he charged int. Neji say that Lee's body had an enourmous increase in Chakra and used his own Technique.

"Hakke Shou Kaiton! (Heavanly Spin)" Said Neji as he spun around, releasing a powerful spinning Chakra barrier that sent Lee flying backwards. He landed on his feet panting.

"Give up now Lee, you cannot win," said Neji coldly.

Lee stood in his fighting stance panting, "So that's the ultimate defense of the Hyuuga I've heard so much about?" Lee was begging to dought he could defeat Neji. However more memories came back to him.

"Whats wrong boy?" Asked Gai when he saw Lee crying in the forest.

"Neji was right, I could never pass the academy so I dropped out," Lee sobbed.

"What could keep a spirited Kid like you out?" asked Gai smiling.

"I have no talent for any Ninjutsu or Genjutsu," he continued, "how can I be a ninja without that? I can't compete with a Genius."

"Its quite simple Lee, Hard work," Gai smiled.

"But even after all my work I am still failing the academy," Lee replied.

"Listen, hard work is worthless unless you believe in yourself," Gai replied, "Look at me. I'm am no genius, and through hardwork I am able to defeat even an elite Genius like Kakashi, one of Kohona's strongest."

Lee looked up at this strange man and Smiled, "My name is Rock Lee, could you please be my trainer?"

Gai only smiled and nodded, "The names Matoi Gai, it would be my pleasure."

"No, I won't lose to you," Lee said standing up straight and full on energy.

He shouldn't be able to move so well after preforming the lotus, NEji thought, oh well, I'll defeat him all the same.

Lee charged in again, but this time Neji had prepared to take Lee out for good, "Divination field! 64 Strikes!" and Lee was caught. Neji struck Lee in the chest and gut, "Two strikes," and struck Lee four more times, "Four strikes!" and then eight, sixteen, all the way up to sixty four. And on the last strike Lee flew back into the wall leaving a dent. Genma looked over at lee and rose his hadm, "Looks like Neji is the..."

"I'm not done yet!" interrupted Lee forcing his body back up. Neji looked on in shock, wondering how Lee was able to stand after all that.

"You should have stayed down Lee, Certain death is all that awaits you now," Neji stated.

Gai Sensei, Lee thought Please acknowledge this, my ultimate technique. Neji suddenly became frightened. Lee' body was filling up with Chakra agian. Though it didn't stop were it did during the Lotus, it continued to grow, until Lee's eyes went white and his body bean errupted with enough Chakra making it Visible to the Human eye, "I will show you what hard work can accomplish, the Third Gate, Life Gate Open!"

"What is this power? It can't be human," Neji said to himself.

"Its not over yet, open the fourth gate, Wound Gate!" by that point the ground beneath Lee was started to rip apart as he charged towards Neji. There was a monotonous bang as he charged caused by the speed, but Neji managed ot activate his Heavenly whirl in time. Lee, whoever didn't fly back. He held Firm with his fist pressed against the spinning barrier.

"This can't be happening!" Yelled NEji, "My Barriers begining to wear down from an attack!"

"Don't think this is it, I'll rip right through this thin, Opening the Fifth Gate, Forest Gate!" and with that Lee flew right through Neji's Kaiton and delivered a kick send NEji flying into the Air. Lee jumped up above him and decked him towards the ground again. This time, however, he wrapped one bandage around Neji's waist. As Neji approuched the ground, Lee Tugged up on the bandage and Neji was flying back up to Lee, "Its Over now, Primary Lotus!" and with that Lee put all his force int a kick striking into Neji's chest and forced him all the way down to the ground creating an enourmous Crater in the center of the Arena.

The smoke cleared and Rock Lee stood above the Hyuuga struggling to stand, blood was coming out of his nose and his arms could barely move, "Winner Rock Lee," said Genma waving in the medical teams. Both Lee and Neji were raced off to the Hospital.

"When did Lee become that powerful?" asked Kurenai and NAruto together. Hinata was sitting in the stands, proud of her teamate for defeating the guy who was said to be the strongest of the Genin, her cousin Hyuuga Neji.

"Well, lets hurry and bring out the contestants for round three, Shino Vs. KAnkurou," Genma said.

Whats the point in fighting? We're not going to get promoted anyway after the attack commences, KAnkurou thought, "I give up," he said to everyone's surprise, especially Shino's.

"Well, looks like we'll move right along to Shikamaru and Temari," Genma said.

Here's the next exciting Chapter. It may have been a little short, but meh, I'm happy with it. The next fight should be up soon.
