Right here, right now. Right here, right now.

Right here, right now.

Right here,

right now.

We are fighting remastered!

Right here, right now, boom!

Bye, Sensei.

Thanks, Uruka Sensei. See you later.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. Keep working on that jutsu.

Transformation takes a lot of practice.

Oh, and be sure to remind your parents about the big inauguration.

We usher in the fifth Hokage tomorrow.

Okay, bye!

Oh, Konohamaru!

What is it, Aruka -sensei?

Oh, nothing.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I'll get you later, Aruka -sensei!

Looks like he's made a bit of a breakthrough.

Hey, Lee!

Coming back from rehabilitation?

Um, yes I am. I hope you're off to a speedy recovery.

Thank you, Iruka -sensei.

To activate all of his... sells it once.

If it were just one by one, it'd be a snap, but all of them together.

That'll be tough.

Yoshi Brown, we need to hurry and get a move on already.

The Hidden Leaf Village is in a mess of trouble.

Don't worry, Lee. You'll get better in no time, with Lady Tsunade looking after

you. It's best if you give up being a shinobi. Find a different path.

Sensei and student, the bomb to the shinobi.

Transformation Jutsu!

Hey, kid.

The glory of youth is in its unbridled passion.

You just keep chippin' away at it, son, you'll make a splendid shinobi someday.

Who is he? He is so confident.

Grab hold of life by both horns.

That's what youth is for.

Goodbye.

That was the first time I met Guy, Sensei.

And then... As of today, you are all getting.

So now tell me, why have you done it?

What are your goals?

Hmm?

I'd rather not say.

How about me, Sensei?

I want to show I can be a splendid ninja as well.

Even if I do not have ninjutsu or genjutsu.

I want to prove it to the whole world.

There's that luck.

What? What is so funny? You think I am joking? I mean it. I will be a splendid

ninja just by using taijutsu and nothing else. You nitwit.

Without ninjutsu or genjutsu, you can hardly call yourself a ninja, can you?

Do you remember when they told you you were the first person to graduate who

could only use taijutsu?

They weren't saying that because it was impressive.

They only meant that it was unusual.

Listen up. If you've got the passion, that

isn't necessarily the case.

With the right amount of passion and some healthy competition to spur each

on, you'll all be great ninja.

You'll still have to work your butts off, though.

Passion?

I was captivated by Guy Sensei.

By what he said.

And what he did.

Late again.

By 17 minutes and 32 seconds.

How about we skip this today?

We've tied each other at 48 wins.

Today's face -off will put one of us in the lead.

You're not going to take no for an answer, are you?

Alrighty then.

It's my turn to name the challenge, right?

So what'll it be?

A round of taijutsu? A hundred meter dash?

Holding our breath? Or an eating contest, maybe?

Oh, boy.

Okay. I got one.

Yeah? Lay it on me.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Are you nuts?

That's what you choose? You know, it's not all about skill.

Sometimes you need a little luck.

It'll be a good way to test your powers of observation.

I guess you're right.

I don't know.

I think Takashi's just messing with him so he doesn't have to break a sweat.

Yeah, looks like.

All right, Chiron, and I aim to win.

If I lose, I'll take 500 laps around the leaked village on my hand, too.

There you go again.

That's a drop!

Great. Another one of Adonval's self -imposed rules.

What on earth is he thinking?

He can't do that. He acts like a seven -year -old.

You are right. That is impossible, even for Gai -sensei.

Reckless is what I'd call it.

Rock, paper!

I thought I'd find you here.

Gai. Gai -sensei.

How did you know where to look for me?

I know everything about you, Lee.

I hear you've been skipping out on your physical therapy.

You know better.

Back when I first made getting, I swore I would realize my every dream.

Right here on this spot.

I swore.

And Neji laughed at me back then.

But I meant every word of it.

I am going to be a splendid ninja as well!

Even if I do not have any ninjutsu or genjutsu!

I want to prove it to the whole world!

I remember you told me that with the right amount of passion and some healthy

competition... We would all be great ninja.

And to make it happen, we would have to work for it.

I knew I could do it.

Transform!

Back in the academy, there was not a single person, sensei or student, who

that kind of thing to me.

Your words were a relief.

Just as I was starting to feel a lot, you lifted the fog from my eyes.

I knew all I had to do was work harder.

And when I said that hard work was no match against true genius, You told me I

was a genius of hard work.

Thanks to you and your encouragement, I finally learned the importance of

believing in myself.

The chances of surgery being successful are 50 -50 at best. And if it fails,

he'll die.

But it is not the same this time.

Even if I believe in myself and try as hard as I can, it will not make the

slightest difference.

Guy -sensei, please tell me what to do.

Tell me, Guy -sensei. Do you think maybe I can follow in your footsteps someday?

How come I am the only one being punished like this?

I have my own dreams to protect.

I do not care if it means dying. I follow my nindo, my ninja way.

Tell me, what should I do?

The Eight Inner Gates.

A forbidden jutsu one can die using.

What do I do?

I am prepared for the worst. Teach me the forbidden jutsu. Whatever it takes

my dream.

That means everything to me.

You tried to become a great ninja relying only on Taijutsu.

Until now, that's all you had.

It must be painful, knowing all your hopes and dreams are about to be ripped

away from you.

Is this one of your students, guy?

It's best if you give up being a shinobi.

Listen, lady.

If you wish to be freed of this suffering, you need to make a decision.

Do you mean that I should be prepared to give up on my dreams?

If you lose your dreams, you'll undergo pain far worse than what you feel now.

The two of us have a lot in common, Lee. Without our ninja way to guide us, you

and I would never survive.

Get the operation, Lee.

Any progress with the cell activation, Jutsu?

At the end of the day, this is all about chakra.

But with so many different types of cells, skin, internal, muscular, to

them all at once, it's going to be a bit difficult.

Really? Well, that doesn't sound too bad, then.

Are you trying to test my patience?

No!

I have the utmost faith in you.

You know it is funny, but I... I remember when you and Kakashi -sensei

to compete against each other with a game of rock, paper, scissors.

He was saying that skill was not enough. That sometimes you need luck.

And this surgery is 50 -50 too.

Live or die.

But... This is not some kid's game!

And what happened after that?

You do remember, don't you, Lee?

Five hundred.

As promised.

If I lose, I'll take 500 laps around the Leaf Village on my hand, too.

That's a promise.

What on earth is he thinking? He can't do that. He acts like a seven -year

This is nothing.

What are you doing out here? It's so late.

What about you? It is not like Akashi Sensei is out here to seed it, and

is anyone else for that matter.

When a man struts around like a peacock acting like Mr. Big Top, he should keep

his promises, even if it kills him.

That's a promise!

What is it?

Why do you do this?

Every time you're about to start something, you make up these crazy

Now that's an excellent question, Lee.

I've got to hand it to you, son. You always get right to the point.

Okay, I'll tell you. But remember, this is just between you and me.

Why? What is it?

All right, the truth is, a ninja's self -rule is the key.

The key to victory.

Self -rule?

Listen, Lee. The point of all these rules is to stack the deck against

each and every time you set your sights on a new objective.

It's about giving yourself an obstacle.

Instead of seeing it as 500 laps of punishment for losing, I see it as the

of beating Kakashi the next time. By leaping that hurdle, it'll be that much

easier to achieve my next goal.

Oh, I see.

Take today.

By chaining myself to those 500 laps, I force myself to take something as

trivial as a game of rock, paper, scissors with an almost deadly

That's the first benefit.

And besides, even if you lose, I still have put in several hundred laps around

the village. If you want to toughen up, it's the ultimate two -step program.

That is brilliant!

All right, I still have a little more left. Up the daisy!

I am coming, too!

I have my own rule to follow.

Hey, be careful.

Don't push yourself, Lee.

If I cannot keep up with you guys, Sensei, that means I just have to push

even harder.

I want to be like you, Sensei. And as long as I keep at it, I am sure to be a

splendid ninja someday. That is a promise.

Right. Well, in that case, I'm adding a new rule.

If you aren't able to keep up with me for the rest of my laps around the

village, I'll put every last ounce of my being into training you.

If I train you with all my soul, there's no question you'll become a splendid

ninja.

That's a promise.

Of course.

How could I forget?

It was the day when you first taught me the principles behind our self -imposed

rule.

You worked hard, Lee. There's no doubt in my mind that surgery will be a bet.

You have the power to shape your own destiny.

And on the one in one thousand, no, one in a million chance something should

happen to go wrong, I will die right along with you.

Since the day I met you, my Nindo has been to train you to become the most

splendid ninja possible.

That's a promise.

You and I are two alike.

We cannot survive without our ninja way to guide us.

All right. Let's go, Lee.

Yes.

Ladies, do not ask.

From this day on, I shall protect the Hidden Leaf Village.

I'm the fifth Hokage!

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's right. The next mission's an overnighter. Our best shot will be at

end. Got it. Once we get there, we just wait till he lets his guard down. And

that's when... And that's when... The math comes off.

Next time, gotta see, gotta know.

Kakashi Sensei's true...
