Chapter 12

A/N: Thanks all for more than 200 reads xD I didn't expect this!! Thank you very much!!

Neji's POV

Here it goes. I want to see how much has Shiyuki improved.
Ami, a Grass ninja, is a curvy lady. She laughs at Shiyuki. Oh right, my teammate's a bit skinny.
"Child, withdraw. You can't beat me."
"Heh, never underrate your opponent. Plus, don't call me 'child', you chubby. Oh wrong, chonky."
Lee is holding his mouth in order not to burst out laughing. Damn, nice trolling, Shiyuki.

"I'm NOT chonky you little brat!! This is called thicc!!" Of course the Grass girl is irritated.
"Lightning style: Lightning bullets!!"

So she's not Shiyuki's rival. The Wind element is strong against the Lightning.
"Ice/Wind style: Demon wind ice shuriken!!"
Shiyuki throws out her ice shurikens coated in sharpened wind chakra. She has practised to collapse to use this technique. The shurikens clash the bullets and explode. There's smoke everywhere. Shiyuki throws some more shurikens, Ami dodges those. As soon as she scorns Shiyuki, one of those cut her hair and her cheek with the wind chakra.
"You lil brat...!! You ruined my beautiful face!!"
Quickly, Shiyuki pulls out a chakra knife from her bag and jumps up. The Grass girl releases lightning claws from her hands.

From when did Shiyuki make progress in combat? I smirk. I want to fight her too, a worthy opponent. The curvy tries to land a hit on her, but she dodges by bending down. Right at that moment, Shiyuki freezes Ami's legs.
"Ice style: Crystal Wall!"

Ami lets out a "Tch", then turns her claws into a sword. The Ice-style girl dodges with a spectacular jump. Shiyuki has improves a lot... Dang it, you impress me, Shiyuki.
But to everyone's shock, Ami stabs Shiyuki on her stomach when she's still in the air.

You think that Shiyuki loses? No.

Hardly does Ami smirk when she feels something cold at her neck.

"Game over."

The Shiyuki that she's just stabbed to death is just an Ice Clone. The real one is behind her, holding a kunai at her neck. Ami is terrified.
"Winner: Akai Shiyuki!!"
Shiyuki puts her kunai down, then heals the cut on Ami's face.
"Sorry for cutting yout face. Thanks for the battle."

The Grass girl is speechless.
I am speechless.

Shiyuki's POV

Tee-hee, I won! Did you watch it, Neji-kun? How you like that?! I run upstair excitedly to see his reaction. Only Lee and Guy-sensei congratulate me and hug me crying. Neji-kun has no expression, still as cool as a cucumber. It hurts my feel- NO, I don't care! It's none of his concern!

"Gaara versus Rock Lee!!"
Kiba warned Hinata about that Sand boy before. Is he that dangerous? However, I believe in Lee. I know he's strong.
Immediately, Lee flies to Gaara with a 'Leaf Spinning Wind'. Lee's kick is speedy, but it's no use as some sand blocks it. What is this? Gaara doesn't move a finger, but all Lee's attacks are blocked. That sand is annoying... The puppet boy explains:
"All physical attacks are useless against him. Because regardless of Gaara's will, the sand becomes a shield and protect him. That's why up to now, there's never been a single person who's ever put a scratch on Gaara."

What?

Lee jumps on the handsign sculpture to dodge the sand's attack. Guy-sensei is confident that Lee will win.
"Lee! Take them off!!" I startle.
"But! But Guy-sensei! That's... only for a time when I must protect many precious people, isn't it?!"
"It's alright! I'll allow it!!"

Oh my, here comes the light speed...

"Lee!! GO!!!"
Lee's speed rockets. His attacks still don't reach Gaara, but it's so close. Gaara seems to be in shock. Yes! A sharp kick scratch Gaara's face.
"Lee! Explode!!!" Guy-sensei and I cheer.

Lee's now so fast that the sand can't keep up.
"This is bad..." The puppet boy is petrified.
"It sure is! That black eyes bastard took a pretty heavy one!"
"That's not the bad that I mean."
Gaara's skin turns to be an armour of sand. What is that crazy laugh?!
"If he gets caught by this Gaara... He'll be killed for the fun of it." Kankuro talks terrifiedly.

The armour of sand blocked Lee's kick... So Lee actually couldn't even touch Gaara. But Lee is not done! He unwraps the bandage on his arms. That is!
"Omote Renge!!"
Lee won?!

... The Gaara that he's just beaten... is just an empty sand armour. From behind Lee, Gaara stands up with a wicked smirk. Lee can't dodge the tide of sand due to Omote Renge'a after effect. He continues to be overturned by the sand. Another sand wave.
"Lee-san, no!! Anymore and you'll die!"
No Sakura, Lee dodges it!

The Leaf lotus blooms twice!
