"Itachi, stay and watch your brother's fight." Hiruzen said, the two had been chatting through the last two matches and it was now Sasuke's turn.

"Is it really alright for me to do so?" Itachi asked.

"Of course." Hiruzen said, then took a small emblem out of his robe and handed it to the Uchiha, "You know what that is, just show it to my ANBU when you leave and they will let you go." The emblem was in the shape of a monkey's head and had a small seal at the back.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama." Itachi said.

"Now, watch the match." Hiruzen smiled.

"Sasuke Uchiha and Rock Lee, come to the arena!" The proctor called, coughing a little afterwards.

Sasuke and Lee both jumped to the ground from the railing and took their places quickly.

"I hope you show me how brightly your youth burns in this match Sasuke." Lee said, getting into his Goken stance.

Sasuke grunted as he got into his own stance, if this guy was as good as Naruto said he was than this match wouldn't be too easy without ki.

"BEGIN!" Both competitors charged at each other and their fists met each other, Lee then swept his leg towards Sasuke's head, the Uchiha ducked and swept his leg towards Lee's. The Taijutsu user jumped and got in position for an axe-kick, Sasuke rolled away as the kick shattered the ground where he was.

'He's good.' Sasuke told himself as he dodged a punch from Lee, 'How does he recover so quickly?' Sasuke pumped over a low sweep from Lee and threw some shuriken towards the boy, who rolled away and responded with shuriken of his own -which Sasuke blocked with a kunai.

'What did Naruto say about him though, something about his chakra coils...' Sasuke thoughts trailed off as he blocked a kick with his forearm, 'OW!' He screamed mentally, as pain shot through his arm. Sasuke responded by grabbing Lee's leg and punching the green-clad ninja in the stomach then sweeping his leg from under him.

Lee caught himself before his back hit the ground and cartwheeled away from Sasuke, getting on his feet, "Sasuke, you truly are a student of Gai-sensei's eternal rival Kakashi Hatake, and a genius by nature, however I am a genius of hard work. I will show you what is more important!" Lee shouted, taking off his orange leg warmers and dropping them, causing small clouds of dust from the impact, "Now with my full speed I will defeat you!" Lee shouted, appearing behind Sasuke in a blur and punching the Uchiha in the back, sending him careening forwards.

Sasuke caught himself and stood, panting. Lee was FAST. Sasuke activated his Sharingan, "This should even the field." He smirked, "Katon: Grand Fireball!" Sasuke shot a two story fireball from his mouth towards Lee.

The green-clad genin lept over the fireball and kicked a surprised Sasuke in the chest, sending the Uchiha flying.

"Alright, playtime's over." Sasuke said, "Raiton: Depth Charge!" Sasuke yelled, covering his body in lightning, "Raiton: False Darkness!" Sasuke condensed the lightning and sent it flying towards Lee in a deadly line of crackling energy. Lee barely dodged the deadly jutsu, rushing forwards to deliver a strong knee to Sasuke's stomach, following up with a kick to the raven haired Uchiha's head and finally an elbow to the neck.

Sasuke fell to the floor and Lee jumped back, Sasuke looked up with anger on his face, black tomoe shaped markings spread across his body. He lept at Lee, catching the boy with a powerful right hook and delivering a bone-crunching kick to his side. As Lee flew away Sasuke appeared on his path, grabbing Lee by the throat and slamming him into the ground.

"SASUKE!" Naruto shouted, "CALM DOWN!"

"SASUKE THAT'S ENOUGH!" Sakura yelled.

"Oh my god Sasuke-kun is so strong." Ino swooned.
