I don't own Naruto.
One day Lee was walking through the forests surrounding Konoha. Alone. On his hands. Quietly too. Amazing for sure.
He eventually comes across a squirrel in his path who just stares at him. With those big, innocent, squirrel eyes. Now while his instincts tell him to run, he thinks it's just a cute little squirrel who just wants to play. So of course he goes up to it.
"Hello, youthful little squirrel! How are you this fine-" looks up and back at the squirrel, "afternoon?"
"Snick, chip, chitter"
"Ah! Do you need help youthfully gathering nuts?"
The squirrel glares and shriek-chirps and thousands upon thousands of squirrels came. Of course, that only happened after he threw the 'holy-chipmunk! SHARP!' acorn he was holding at Lee.
"AAHH! THE UNYOUTHFUL squirrelS ARE ATTACKING ME! GAI-SENSEI! TENTEN! HELP MEEE!"
Poor Lee. They can't hear him. And Lee finally runs away. But there are squirrels hanging on him biting him. 'Hey look Tora! Hi Tora!' chitters some of the squirrels. And Tora, being the human-hating kitty it is, joins the squirrels in their chase.
Poor Lee, he still has a couple of miles to go, he's not sure if he'll make it out alive.
Eventually the squirrels got tired and gave him one last scratch and one last bite and let go. And Tora took the last hit, and shredded Lee's remaining skin off.
When Gai, Neji, and Tenten found him cowering in a ball in Training ground 9 that evening, they found him mumbling about squirrels, evil squirrels, and asking "what did I do? What did I do?"
And that is why you never call a male squirrel gay. I mean, really? Gathering nuts. That can really be taken offensively. I betcha all those squirrels that came were males too, defending male squirrel pride. And Tora might be a guy, I mean if he was, he'd be angry that he had to wear a bow too.
Oh, and from then on, Lee ran screaming everytime he saw a squirrel. He still wonders what he did though. Poor guy.
