Konoha's Blue Beast
All though my entire being hoped that that was a replacement, I knew that Lee could not use ninjutsu. He really had been stabbed. Kankuro had predicted the whole battle, and most likely the blade was poisoned. But Lee didn't move away. Instead, he leapt up in the air and grabbed Pajama Pants with his legs. He put his hands on the ground and flipped Pajama Pants over, crashing his head into the ground. Lee then let go and flipped back, away from Kankuro. He took the kunai out of his back and held it in his hand.
Smart move, Lee, and luckily, from the looks of it, the blade really wasn't poisoned. You can beat Pajama Pants, no sweat. You just need to finish it off with a really awesome combo!
Kankuro got back and fixed his neck. "Dammit," he cursed under his breath, "the kid's gotten stronger." He moved his fingers and Karasu charged at him. Lee dodged the attacks and even tripped Karasu, occasionally, but the puppet was so persistent that there was never an opening for Lee to attack Kankuro. Any shurikens or kunais thrown at him were blocked or easily dodged. Eventually, Karasu spat out another cloud of poison gas, Lee jumped away, but that was just what Pajama Pants wanted. Another, fatter puppet appeared behind Lee. Its stomach was open and Lee fell in. The doors closed and Lee was trapped inside. Karasu jumped into the air and all of its body parts detached and showed sharp blades. All the parts flew towards Lee.
"Oh no!" Jin cried out. "He's gonna get stabbed from all directions!"
But just before the blades entered the other wooden puppet, Lee busted through. There was now a giant hole in the side of the other puppet. Lee was able to survive. He stood a safe distance away.
"I didn't think I'd have to open any more chakra gates for you," he said more to himself than to anyone, "but I guess one more will do." He then turned and gazed at his sensei's smiling face in the crowd. "Please acknowledge this, Gai-sensei."
"What's he gonna do?" I wondered aloud.
He crouched a little and placed his hands before him as if to power up. I felt an overwhelming enery emitting from him. And it showed; a great wind began to blow from him. And suddenly he began to glow! "Second Gate, Initial Gate!"
"Is this massive amount of chakra coming from him?" I gasped in wonder.
"That is a forbidden jutsu," Hinako said clamly. "Lee is able to open 5 of the celestial gates."
I turned toward her. "Really? I can only open four, and that's in my dragon form. Out of that I can only open two."
In a flash, Lee was next to Kankuro. He threw him up in the air and, from my point of veiw, slapped him around. Needless to say, Kankuro got bloody. Then, Lee finished it off with a spinning kick. "Konoha Senpu!"(Konoha Whirlwind.) Pajama Pants flew like a rocket and crashed into one of the rock walls enclosing the valley, missing the audience by a little space. Kankuro fell back down to the ground, but didn't get up. Karasu and the other puppet fell onto the ground as well. Now I was sure Pajama Pants was defeated. Shigame-sensei walked up to Pajama Pants and checked.
"It's a Knock Out. Rock Lee wins!"
The crowd gave a loud cheer as well as me. Lee was stronger than I thought. Probably even stronger than that. He wasn't lying when he boasted to me about being the greatest taijutsu user in the world. I was glad. But not for long. The next match was coming up.
"Shut up!" Shigame-sensei yelled. "Alright, now let's begin the next match. Temari and Orochimaru, step up."
