5 Fighting Neji

"I hope I get matched with Lee."

"I can beat him to the ground anytime; he is always last in the tests and defeated by the other students."

"Hush," the teacher said to the students," I will announce the first line-up."

Lee couldn't care less about the fights between the students; there were too many weaknesses in their movements in his eyes.

They move too slowly, and it is almost like they are moving at 0.25 speed.

He couldn't help but get excited about the cyborgs waiting for him back at the training ground in the other world, their inhuman speed and intellect.

His blood boils with excitement for a good fight once school ends; he wants to return to training in that high pressure again and improve every time.

"The next line-up, Rock Lee and Neji Hyuga," the teacher announced.

"Oh, this will be a comedic battle," the kids laughed, "how long do you think Lee will last?"

"I bet you that he will lose in the first minute."

"No, I would say the first punch."

In a moment, both Lee and Neji walked to the middle as they faced each other, and Neji gave a prideful grin and said, "You can still admit defeat right now. Or else prepare to be beaten."

Lee didn't answer back, but he thought to himself, 'Neji, let me prove to you that hard work will always defeat the talent of a genius.'

Neji didn't hesitate to deliver a punch straight toward Lee's face when the battle started, expecting to end this boring match instantly.

He was surprised when he realized that his punch slipped by Lee's face by a single fingertip of a gap.

'This must be a mistake,' with disbelief and believing that it was just an accident, he hit a few more punches at his opponent.

To the teacher's surprise and everyone in the class, Lee avoided all the punches and kicks efficiently, dodging them without effort.

"Am I still not awake? This must be a dream, right?"

"No, Lee is dodging all of Neji's attacks."

"Wow! Lee is so amazing!"

As he failed to land a single touch on Lee's body, Neji started to feel frustrated as he yelled at Lee, "Stop dodging my attacks, and fight me!"

In the next punch that he is hitting towards Lee, he was not expecting Lee to be able to grasp his fist in his hand so calmly.

But what is even more expected is that no matter how hard Neji tried to pull away from his fist, he couldn't seem to have enough strength.

"You're not my opponent Neji," Lee said with indifference, "too weak."

Hearing this taunting by someone he had always looked down upon made Neji boil with anger as he snapped another punch with his other hand.

When he saw that punch coming toward his face, he didn't even feel like there was any power to that punch.

And in the next instant, Lee seemed to have disappeared right before his eyes, and this wasn't relying on any ninjutsu; it was pure speed.

Even for the teacher watching the fight, there was only a slight blur as Lee disappeared, 'Is this still the same student?'

In the next split second, Neji could feel Lee's presence behind and tried to hit the person back, and before he could do that, he was kicked in the stomach and landed near a tree in the far distance.

He coughed hard after feeling all of the air from his lungs pressed out by that kick that landed on his stomach.

Standing back up, he was about to attack again and could only watch as Lee's body disappeared before him.

When he was looking for him, there was only a kick hitting straight from the side of his head, except it was not landing on his head.

It hit the tree behind him, and the force of that kick instantly broke the tree in half as it fell to the ground.

Some of the students watching the fight pissed their pants upon seeing this shocking scene with awe.

Even the teacher who was watching this felt a cold chill as he wondered whether he could've escaped the force of that kick.

Watching the face of Neji, who is awestruck, Lee told him, "Talent is nothing in the front of overwhelming hard work and persistency. There is no such thing as fate."

The girls in the class started to have heart signs in their eyes, and the guys began to admire Lee as their hero.

'Can I overcome my fate?' Neji asked himself as he watched the departing back of Rock Lee.

Soon a couple of months went past as Lee went to school and came to the paradise world afterward; during this period, Jon watched as Lee's progress finally came to 0.1%.

During this time, Lee had progressed at lightning speed and now has already gone to the point where he is undergoing five times Earth's gravity in the training room while fighting the robots.

One evening afternoon, as they were eating together, Lee told Jon about how he saved a girl with eyes like Neji from many bullies.

"A girl that looked like Neji?" As he put more chopped meat into Lee's bowl, Jon asked, 'could it be Hinata?'

"Yeah, she had a pair of eyes like his, I had to stand up for justice, so I give the kids a lesson for bullying an innocent girl," Lee said with a beaming smile as he continued to bite the food.

Hearing that made Jon realize that his existence had already bought change to the world that Lee belonged to, and he wondered to himself who would Naruto marry now that Lee had taken his place in Hinata's heart.

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard the familiar system notification:

[New guests selected]

[Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece World]

['Black Leg' Sanji from One Piece World]

"Sanji and Luffy?"

There was a small boy with black hair leaning against a tree in another world, and his eyes filled with desperation as drools came from his mouth.
