Hidden Leaf's Handsome Devil!

I AM KONOHA'S BEAUTIFUL GREEN WILD BEAST - ROCK LEE!

aoimoju:

“Well, Lee, first I must commend your enthusiasm. It’s only with that hot-blooded determination of yours that one reaches greatness.”

He takes a pause for effect, even the simple act of stopping to gather his thoughts suffused with more charisma than your average shinobi will exude in a lifetime.

“One half-day’s journey from here to Sunagakure, there is a field. Yes, one might go so far as to call it a valley, surrounded as it is by majestic mountainous terrain. Do you know the place to which I refer?”

Beaming would probably be the perfect word for what he’s doing right now. his sensei has acknowledged him. Truly, he is well on his way to achieving that greatness.

“Yes! We passed by that valley on our last trip to Sunagakure, did we not? I recall it quite fondly! It is quite beautiful.”

                                    “Lee?”

The quiet is disturbed by a voice that can only be called booming, startling several small birds from a nearby tree.

“I hope you’ve come prepared. I’ve been told that Tenten and Neji won’t be making our training session today, so this challenge is especially for you.”

“Sensei!”

Alarming is probably a good way of describing Gai-sensei’s entry - most of his entries, really. But it’s always a delight, and it keeps everyone on their toes. Maybe that’s the idea.

Eyes glow with delight and determination at his teacher’s words - this is his chance to show off what he’s made of. There’s no way he’s going to blow it.

“I will make sure to do my best! What kind of task will I be performing?”

This again.

What’s with this kid?

“Like I don’t have better things to do than indulge your whims.” He’s rude enough to keep walking, right past Lee, without another glance. While he’s sure he would win (this time) he really doesn’t see the point in humoring the boy. Itachi is the only one he wants to try his strength against.

Sasuke is just too cold.

There’s a small pang at the swift dismissal, but his resolve doesn’t falter. There’s no way he’s giving up so easily - not when he’s already gone and tracked the guy down!

“I understand that you may not see me as a worthy opponent, but I am sure I can make you change your mind! Besides, sparring is an excellent way to train! We must build our skills by challenging each other, don’t you think?”

[hdhl]

“Sasuke! I know this is sudden, but I must request that you and I do battle! It’s been far too long since our last fight, and I need to know if I am now strong enough to beat you.”
