The Godaime Hokage lent back into her chair, hands joining behind her head. Her hazel eyes narrowed towards the young shinobi in the green jumpsuit. "And this would be for how long?" She asked.
Lee puffed up his chest and raised his chin. "Five months."
"Do I need to pay for this vacation?"
"Well, it would be nice..," Lee stuttered, his voice clearly becoming uneasy.
Tsunade's brows furrowed, watching the ninja's body shift onto one leg and then back on two again. She had to consider the economy in the village. Konoha is getting more and more ninja every day, ranging from a Genin to a Chuunin. They already had a significant about of Jonins.
This little 'vacation' could work out.
"Alright, then, ten ryō is all I'm giving you. You guys should have enough to pay for this trip from your missions. You must be back in September," Tsunade gave him the money, her eyes still hard, "now, be gone!"
Lee jumped in joy, taking the money and skipping out the Hokage's office. Once the green beast was gone, Tsunade closed her eyes, chuckling to herself. "Oh, kids."
Lee ran as fast as he could. He would go to his teammates' houses first. "Hokage-sama said yes!" yelled the ninja, bursting through Neji's door. The Hyuuga was sprawled over his coach, in his boxers and socks. He was relaxing, his day off.
Groaning, Neji got up. "Yes to what?"
"To my vacation request, the Konoha Twelve, Sai, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara are going to the city!"
"The city, you say?" Neji tilted his head, a brow raised in question.
"Yes, it's a new city that has no name. It is a few days from here; it's got skyscrapers and everything! It's big, and it has all kinds of technology. This should be fun!" Squealing like a little girl, Lee jumped up and down a bright grin on his face.
"Does the rest of the gang know?"
"Nope." Lee just kept smiling.
"Well you go tell them, I'm going to get dressed." Neji turned around, waving his hand towards Lee.
The ninja nodded, hopping out the door to go tell the rest.
Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara were already in the village. Gaara had got time off as the Kazekage for the time being, and chose a Rokudaime Kazekage. Though he wasn't always the most enthusiastic person, he was excited enough to smile from time to time.
The group of friends had gathered at Konoha's gate, each carrying a backpack with necessities in it.
"So, where will we be staying while we are in this city?" Kiba asked resting on Akamaru's back.
"We will rent a house." Lee answered.
The blonde haired boy yawned, stretching out his arms around him, letting them go over Sasuke and Kankuro's neck who glared devilishly at him."Let's get going, I'm tired. You woke me up when you broke down my door."
Sakura chuckled, "Naruto you're always tired."
The mini-Might Guy jumped in the air. "Let's go!"
Lee ran off, leaving a cloud of dirt behind him.
