Naruto: Madara is my Daddy

Naruto gritted his teeth, his voice full of anxiety. "If this continues, Lee is going to be—! Huh?"

Before he could finish, everyone in the arena noticed that Lee's movements had changed. His body had stopped shaking, and a confident, determined smile had appeared on his face.

"Look, he's laughing! How can he still be laughing in such a desperate situation?"

"Hehe…" Seeing the confused looks on the faces of the other Genin, Might Guy took a deep breath, a look of profound satisfaction on his face. "No, the Lee you see now is not the same Lee as before. This time, he is the one who has forced his opponent into a desperate situation."

"Everyone, open your eyes and watch closely. The lotus of Konoha is about to bloom for a second time."

Gaara's expression remained unchanged in the face of Lee's sudden transformation. "Boy, I do not care what tricks you use. The ending will remain the same. You will die a miserable death."

"Hmph…" Lee looked at Gaara, his eyes blazing with determination. "Say what you will. With my next attack, I will defeat you!"

"How ridiculous." Gaara waved his hand, and a massive amount of sand erupted from his gourd, the scope of his attack even larger than before.

"Haaah!" Lee shouted, and a powerful wave of energy burst from his body, blowing all of the sand away.

"I cannot be the only one to lose here! Now… is the time for me to walk my own ninja way!" Lee's skin turned a deep, furious red.

"The Third Gate, the Gate of Life, open!"

"Next, the Fourth Gate, the Gate of Pain, open!"

Chakra surged from his body like a raging fire. The capillaries beneath his skin burst, leaving scarlet trails in the air as he moved. He pushed off the falling rubble, leaping high into the air, the sand chasing relentlessly after him.

"Watch this! Aaaaaaah!"

Lee's roar was mixed with blood and foam as he moved at a speed the sand could not possibly match. Gaara looked around in a panic, trying to track him. The next second, a red blur appeared, kicking him into the air like a ball, then back down, then up again, bouncing him back and forth repeatedly. With each strike, another piece of Gaara's sand armor was stripped away.

"Ngh…" From high in the air, Lee bit his lip, a pained groan escaping his lips. The muscles in his arms were already tearing. He didn't have much time left.

"This is the final blow!"

"The Fifth Gate, the Gate of Closing, open!"

"Oh no… the sand shield can't keep up with his speed, and the sand armor is almost completely gone." Gaara, who had remained so calm and composed until now, was finally beginning to panic. Lee was too fast. He had no time to defend himself.

"Haaah!"

"I will end it all with this move!"

"Reverse Lotus!"

BOOM!

The arena was filled with smoke, and a huge roar deafened everyone present.

"What… what happened?"

"Lee's speed is too fast! I can't even see the fight anymore!"

"Is… is it over?"

When the smoke finally cleared, everyone stared at the arena. They saw Rock Lee and Gaara lying on opposite sides of a massive crater, both of them panting heavily. Lee's condition was clearly critical; from his trembling limbs, it was obvious that his body had suffered immense damage.

As for Gaara… he was completely unharmed.

Might Guy was shocked. "How is this possible?!"

Kakashi frowned. "At the last moment, the boy turned the sand in his gourd into a cushion, blocking the impact. Wait… what is he doing?"

Before he could finish, Gaara waved his arms, and a massive cloud of sand shot toward the incapacitated Lee.

"I'm going to kill you," Gaara growled, his voice a low, murderous hiss.

"Sand Coffin!"
