After seven teams successfully completed the second stage of the Chunin Exam, the next challenge awaits – the preliminary battles! Now, each fighter must step into the arena alone, facing their opponent in an intense one-on-one duel.

There is no room for mistakes – only the strongest and most skilled will advance! With twenty competitors remaining, the tension in the arena grows as battles unfold one after another. So far, eight thrilling matches have taken place, with Sasuke, Shino, Kankuro, Temari, Shikamaru, Naruto, and Neji emerging victorious. Their abilities, strategies, and unwavering determination have secured their wins, but the greatest challenges still lie ahead.

Now, all eyes are on the arena – the battle between Lee and Gaara has begun! Two completely different warriors, with contrasting fighting styles but equally strong wills, are about to test their absolute limits. Can Lee, with his incredible taijutsu techniques, break through Gaara’s impenetrable sand defense?

As the fate of these fighters hangs in the balance, one thing is certain – no battle so far has been this unpredictable! Who will claim victory?
