Lee, fueled by Guy's fervent encouragement and his own unwavering determination, grit his teeth, his jaw clenched tight. He knew he had to push himself beyond his limits, to unleash the power he had been forbidden to use, the power that lay dormant within him. He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling with a controlled intensity, and his body began to tremble, his muscles coiling like springs, ready to explode.
"Gate of Opening: Open!" he roared, his voice echoing through the stadium, a raw, animalistic cry that sent shivers down the spines of the spectators.
His skin flushed a deep crimson, a stark contrast to his green jumpsuit, and his muscles bulged, straining against the confines of his clothing, threatening to tear the fabric. His speed increased dramatically, his movements becoming a blur of motion, almost too fast to follow, leaving afterimages in his wake. He launched a barrage of attacks, his fists and feet striking with incredible force, each blow a thunderous impact that shook the very air, sending shockwaves through the arena. The very stone beneath his feet began to crack, the force of his movement reverberating through the stadium.
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly, a flicker of surprise and intrigue crossing his face. He observed the raw power Lee unleashed, the sheer force of his movements, the almost inhuman speed.
"He opened the gates… impressive. The raw power is incredible, a force of nature unleashed. The speed, the sheer force… it's a terrifying display. I've never seen anything quite like it. It's like watching a dam break, a torrent of raw energy. I wonder… if I could achieve that level of power.", thought Sasuke.
"Gate of Healing: Open!" Lee shouted, his voice a raw, animalistic growl, a primal scream of unleashed power that reverberated through the stadium.
His movements became even faster, his attacks even more devastating, a relentless storm of blows that overwhelmed Shino's defenses. Shino, caught off guard by Lee's sudden and overwhelming surge in power, struggled to defend, his movements becoming increasingly frantic, his usually calm demeanor shattered. His kikaichū insects, still attempting to drain Lee's chakra, were unable to keep up with his speed, their efforts rendered futile, their tiny bodies scattered by the force of Lee's attacks, their buzzing a frantic, desperate whine.
Lee's final attack, a spinning kick, a whirlwind of force, sent Shino crashing to the ground, the impact sending a tremor through the arena, a resounding thud that echoed through the stadium. Shino, unable to continue, was defeated, his body battered and bruised, his breath coming in ragged gasps, his dark glasses cracked.
The crowd erupted in cheers, their voices a deafening roar that echoed through the stadium, a wave of raw emotion washing over the arena. Some were awestruck by Lee's raw power, others were horrified by the sheer brutality of his attack. Lee, panting heavily, his body trembling with exhaustion, stood victorious, a testament to the power of pure determination, his green jumpsuit now stained with sweat and dust.
"The crowd is rowdy, their emotions raw and unfiltered. I guess they like the show, the raw display of power. But I understand it. The sheer force of the gates… it's a potential. A dangerous one, but a potential nonetheless. I wonder… if I could find a way to harness that kind of power, but with more control. A more refined, precise application." Sasuke said, with admiration.
The stadium was rowdy with the crowd's reaction, a mix of awe and excitement, a wave of unfiltered emotion washing over the arena. The air thrummed with the raw energy of the fight, the echoes of Lee's unleashed power lingering in the air.
