"Coach, I can't do this any more" panted Chouji, after running 7 laps around the school's campus.

"Come on Chouji, its just 5 more laps… are you telling me you can't run anymore?" asked the coach, who was obviously annoyed by his wrestler's lack of endurance while running.

"Sir, no offence, but I'm in heavy weights, I don't need to slim down or watch my weight… why aren't you yelling at shikamaru? He hasn't moved all practice! He just lays there watching the clouds while Lee and I are running our asses off for you. That doesn't seem very fair to me, sir" replied Chouji, pointing at the skinny brown haired boy with the pineapple-like ponytail.

"Coach, he's actually sleeping now! How can you not be mad at him?! At least make him run extra laps or do some wall sits or something!" after Chouji finished yelling, he realized that he had raised his voice to his coach… and everyone who knew coach Hatake knew that raising your voice to him was like wearing a bacon collar in a lion's den. Not a very good idea.

"Son, are you telling me off for who I go harder on than others? You think I'm being unfair by letting a wrestler who has kept his weight down and his grades up take a rest, while you, who do the opposite, run? You don't hear Lee complaining, do you?" questioned the coach. His voice was calm, but Chouji could feel the anger in it.

Lee had heard his name in a conversation and decided he wanted to see what was going on.

"Kakashi, coach sir! I overheard you speaking my name! I have run all 12 of my laps, and have cleaned the mats, because I want to be the best that I could be, so I can keep my youthful flame alive!" screamed Lee, even though Kakashi and Chouji were less then three feet away.

"Sir, as you can see" piped Chouji, after he could hear again after Lee's speech."He's not normal, I mean just look at him, he's fucking crazy! He runs outside of practice, and he always talks about his youthful flame! You could tell him to eat a shoe and he would do it with a smile on his face."

"Look, Chouji, practice is over, wake Shikamaru up, get Lee and go home… oh yeah, and ask Naruto, Sasuke, and Kiba why they've felt it necessary to skip my practice two days in a row if you would. Thank you and see you tomorrow."
