Chapter 55 BlackFlash
Konoha.
Death Forest Tower.
Battle Arena.
"He's still able to walk…"
Everyone saw Lee walking out of the man shaped gap in the wall his footsteps shaky, his whole body covered with blood but his face had no intent of giving up.
"Don't stop the match…I knew from the start that it would be difficult but… I still fought Satoru-Kun"
"I was prepared for such an outcome… please let me continue…"
Lee arrived at the middle of the destroyed arena and said his one eye closed and his left arm hanging down useless.
"Look at your condition… you will only die if you continue…"
Hayate said to Lee as he could see Lee was standing purely through sheer Will.
He had the right to stop the match or declare the winner, he didn't want a talented Genin to die such death.
"Guy Sensei!!!, I beg you please… let this match continue… this is my only request…"
Lee seeing Hayate about to announce the end of match turned towards Guy as he pleaded, as he didn't want things to end this way.
"But Lee you…"
"No, Guy Sensei… you taught me to not to give up until the last minute… so please…"
Seeing his condition, Guy wanted to persuade him but Lee cut him off and spoke again his hopeful eyes meeting his.
"Sigh…
Hearing his words, Guy sighed and didn't say anything anymore as he knew forcing Lee to stop would only cause him to feel that he didn't get a proper chance.
Seeing Guy giving a green signal, Sarutobi motioned Hayate to let the match continue.
"Bushy Brow sure is tough…"
"Yeah, he's standing straight, even after going through such beating…"
The Konoha Rookies couldn't help but admire the fighting spirit of Lee who still had the guts to fight after that beating.
"Satoru-Kun, sorry for making you wait… let's continue"
"This is going to be my last move…. Don't hold back… I don't ask anything anymore"
Lee arrived before and said while bringing his right arm before taking a stance.
"Do you really want to win that badly… even if you die?"
Gojo seeing the bruised Lee standing before him was silent for a moment before he spoke, a rare serious expression on his face.
"It's not about winning or losing…even if I die…I'll die knowing that I gave my all"
Lee shook his head and looked at eyes without the fear of death.
"Hehe~ then come, let's get crazy"
Hearing his words, Gojo finally removed the serious expression from his face as he smirked and knuckled his fists.
"Here… I come… Satoru Kun!!!"
"Gate of Limit…Open!!!!"
BOOM!!!
Roared Lee as green aura burst out from him sending around waves of air and the rubble on the ground began to float around him.
*Swoosh!!*
"Hidden Lotus!!!!"
Everyone saw Lee suddenly disappearing like he blended with the wind and appeared before Gojo in the air and his both legs were slammed towards him.
"Hmm~ it's been a while since I had used that…"
Seeing the leg just mere inches away from his face, Gojo thought as he decided to use a move that he didn't for a while.
"The instant the cursed energy impacts with in a trillionth of a second of a blow… the space is distorted"
"Black Flash!!!"
"BANG!!!"
Just when everyone thought Gojo would be hit by the attack of Lee, they suddenly heard his voice but before they could comprehend what he said everything was dyed red.
The right fist of Gojo with dark red energy around it collided with the vacuum around the legs of Lee as the space trembled and a massive explosion was set off.
"What an attack!!!"
Hayate the proctor was pushed back the air flow as covering his face he said his eyes full of shock.
"Damn… is this really a Genin fight?"
Temari cursed as she also covered her face saving herself from the rubble that was mixed in the air wave.
"Who won?"
Finally, the fast wind died down as Naruto asked looking at the arena covered with dust.
Everyone began to eagerly wait for the dispersion of the dust as soon they got their wish and the result was revealed.
A figure wearing a blindfold and necked high purple attire with white hair appeared, and he didn't have a single speck of dust over his face or attire.
Before Gojo, lay on his knees was Lee who was looking at Gojo with shock and horror in his eyes.
Just the air pressure of Black flash repelled the hidden Lotus of Lee, so Gojo changed his trajectory the last moment otherwise Lee would be on the ground without Legs.
"Winner…Gojo Satoru..."
Hayate came forward and after looking at Gojo with a shocked face for a while… he finally announced the winner, his voice shaky.
"Too strong!!"
Whether it was Sarutobi, Kakashi or the other Genin, they all had the same thought looking at the figure with white hair as they couldn't find more words to describe him.
"Hehe~, That was a good fight Lee, I'm looking forward for a rematch"
Gojo didn't care much about the shocked audience, as squatting beside Lee, he said with a smirk on his face.
"At least, you used a new Jutsu… Satoru-Kun… it seems my youth did shine after all..."
Thud…
Hearing his words, Lee said flashing an exhausted smile and passed out the next moment.
