I had woken up and done my daily passionate one legged backwards laps around gates of Konoha and then went to the training area to await my adorable pupil Lee-kun for our daily exercises. However, noticing that Lee-kun was an entire five minutes late I rushed to his house to see what could have possibly delayed my most punctual of students.

Lo and behold, a letter was addressed to me.

LEE HAD LEFT AFTER SAKURA! BWHAAA?!?! I instantly conjured up so many weapons and scrolls that even I, the super strong and fast Blue Beast of Konoha, could not carry them. I soon realized that even though I am worried about my student, I musn't go after him- he must protect his precious person. Lee-kun must choose his own path so that he grow out of my shadow.

I WISH YOU THE STRENGTH OF THE PAST GREAT HOKAGES AND THE SPEED OF THE MIGHTY WIND! Be safe



Konoha is teetering on the edge of panic, a short moment of serenity punctuated with Shizune's insane ramblings has died out once again. Some other jounins are talking of war and others of an insider job. There's a rumor of martial law being declared and the more youthful are becoming anxious.

I SHALL PROTECT THIS GREAT VILLAGE WITH VIGILANCE!! YOSH!

FEAR NOT! KONOHA SHALL SUCCEED!!
