Chapter I: The Unthinkable Happens (or I'd Rather Be Dead)
A/N: As you all know, early on in the Naruto series, Rock Lee had his left arm and leg crushed by Gaara's Sand Coffin Technique, only to have it healed magically later. So I ask, what if instead of magic, technology came to Rock Lee's aid? Prepare to find out!
A bright light was shining in my face. I could hear Gai-sensei saying, "It's gonna be alright, Lee." Then all went black…
I woke up in a white room in a plain-looking bed. The hospital, I figured. Then I remembered what happened. It all flashed very fast before my eyes, and I got angry. I failed! I got this far and I failed! All that work, gone! Because of a single Sand Village ninja! At that moment, I slammed my fist through the nightstand that lay beside my bed. Then I realized I slammed my fist right through the nightstand. I slowly lifted my left arm, to find an arm made of metal in its place! At that moment I forgot myself and ran screaming down the halls. "Yahoooooooooooooo!!!" Then a voice from behind me said, "This is a hospital. Do try to keep it down." I turned to find Gai-sensei giving me a thumbs up with a smile. "What happened to me, sensei?" Then, Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and began explaining things. "Gai pleaded to the Hokage to do something about your condition. After a lot of embarrassing groveling, the Hokage finally hired a person from an outside town called Resembool to do this. Her name was Winry, and she called that stuff 'automail'. At any rate, you can become a ninja again." At that moment, Gai-sensei burst into tears and said, "Once again my eternal rival has done something cooler than me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Then Kakashi continued. "Anyway, your body took an immense amount of time to recover. Naruto is the Hokage, Sakura is his bride, Hinata and Sasuke have teamed up with Orochimaru to constantly make assassination attempts at them, and you're gonna be stuck with people younger than you in your new squad. Report to the assignment room in 10 minutes." I was in complete and utter shock. My beloved Sakura, married? To Naruto? Such a thing could not be! Why must I always suffer in matters of courtship? Then I realized the second half of what Kakashi said. If Naruto gets assassinated, then Sakura can be mine! I hate to wish ill will on another for selfish purposes, but I am in love, and nothing makes sense anymore! Then I remembered that last bit. Oh, no. I am going to have to deal with younger people. Oh well. How bad could it be?
5 minutes later…
"You've got to be kidding me!" That is what I said when I was assigned to a team with Konohamaru. You, my fanpeople, know what that torture is like. Of course, I begged on my hands and knees. Then I realized that there was hope. I still had yet to see who else was on my squad. That is when Kakashi introduced him. "I'd like you to meet Edward Elric. He will be the third in your little troupe. His exceptional alchemical skills are something new to the world of ninja, so we passed him from Genin school early. Don't be surprised if he can't perform Jutsus well." That's when Edward walked up to me. "So, another guy with automail, huh? Where'd you get yours?"
"I'm told this came from a craftswoman named
Winry in a town called Resembool."
"Ya don't say! That's where I get mine, too! I used
to live in the area, and she's a good friend of mine."
"My name is Rock Lee. Good to meet you."
"Nice to meet you to, Lee."
That was when Konohamaru spoke up. "Hey! Aren't you forgetting someone! Hey! I deserve respect! I'm the grandson of the last Hokage!" I laughed when Edward stared at Konohamaru and yelled "Shut up, you little runt!" Then things got serious.
"You're short too!"
"WHO ARE YA CALLIN' SHORT! YOU'RE SO
SHORT, MOST GUYS NEED A MAGNIFYING
GLASS TO SEE YA!"
"OH YEAH? WELL, YOU'RE SO SHORT…
ummm… YOU'RE SO SHORT THAT MOST
GUYS NEED A MICROSCOPE TO SEE YOU!"
"THAT'S IT! YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN!
They were about to fight when I stepped in between them. "Stop it! How are we supposed to work together if we're fighting! Edward, I hate Konohamaru too, but we are stuck with him. We have to put aside our differences and come together as a team!" Edward then said, "He started it!" I was about to say something when a gong rang. A white shrouded person wearing a red and white sunhat walked up to us, his head bowed. Then he lifted it, revealing Naruto's childish face. He spoke. "I know what'll fix this! I'm buying everyone ramen!" Then Sakura appeared beside him. "Naruto, not everything can be solved with ramen!" Then they giggled, and then kissed. "Uhhhhh… I think I'm going to throw up…" said Edward. Frankly, I agreed with him. To see my beloved Sakura actually kiss that… that… pig, makes me sick to my stomach. "You said it…" Then Konohamaru, being the child he is, said "EEEEEEW! GROSS!" Such remarks only made them giggle even more. However, they would be the only ones laughing, for what would happen next would be too horrible for us. I just had to ask that one question.
"Who's going to lead our team?"
"Jiraiya will be teaching you."
I will have to continue this story later. I have just been assigned an S class mission, and it may take awhile. Stay tuned for the next chapter: Alchemy and Perverts Don't Mix!s
