Naruto - Mighty Rock Lee

Chapter 2: What happened?

Outside Konoha: Rock Lees POV

"Gai, what is it..." I said frightened while looking at Gai.

He had an empty expression. Like he didn't have a soul. Gai never usually looks that way. Something bad had happened. I looked up. The only thing I could see was fire, fire everywhere. Ashes flew everywhere. Dust and embers from the fire got spreaded in the air like thousands of stars.

"G-Gai… Wha...What is this? This… This cannot be Konoha". I said while a red glow could be seen everywhere.

This wasn't an accident. Someone or something had started this fire. Gai looked right into the big bonfire that once had been our hometown.

"Konoha has been burned to the ground," Gai said while falling on his knees.

Drops of tears fell from his cheeks. The heat from the burning city was so hot that trees nearby started to catch on fire. Only the Hokage rock was standing in all its glory. There were no signs of enemies nearby.

"Gai, let's get to safety," I said while going to Gai. He was like a puppet. A puppet that wasn't controlled by anyone. He didn't say anything, he didn't move.

I grabbed his sleeve. "Come on Gai, this building can collapse anytime now!" I said while using my strength to get Gai on his feet's. Now he finally cooperated with me. He was heavy but I had to move him or else he was going to be crushed. I looked around for a spot to hide. I looked behind me and saw some trees. We moved over to the trees, while Konoha was about to collapse. And within a second Konoha Collapsed. Embers were flying right at us like a tsunami. I stepped in front of Gai in a fast pace.

"Watch out Gai!" I said while I pushed Gai behind a big tree. I held up my guard and used my chakra to make a chakra-shield, to block off all the embers and pieces of wood coming right at me. Embers and wood were hitting my shield with the speed of light. The force pushed me back. The shield was about to crack. Small cracks at the corner of the shield started to get bigger and bigger. I knew the shield would break sooner or less. Suddenly It stopped. I was out of chakra and breath. Sweat were dripping down my chin as I moved slowly towards Gai.

"Are you okay Gai?" I asked while trying to breathe. He looked at me

"Yeah I'm okay… Thanks to you Lee." He said proudly while getting up. He moved towards me to give me a hug. And within a second a big noise could be heard. It was like a explosion. A large dust cloud were coming right at us. All of the dust, ashes and embers had been turned into a big dust cloud. "We can't stay here!" I shouted, while thinking of a new hiding spot. But It didn't take more than ten seconds before the dust cloud got us surrounded. It was impossible to see through. It was like the thickest fog. But just more deadly to breathe in. Gai grabbed my shoulder.

"Lee, The dust isn't safe to breathe in. We need to move now!" he said while holding his hand close to his mouth hoping it would help from the dust cloud.

Gai used hand signals to communicate with me. We needed to hold our breath. The dust made my vision blurred, so it was hard to find a way out if the dust cloud. Gai pointed his finger upwards while shouting.

"JUMP NOW!" Gai shouted while jumping into the air. And within a second Gai was gone. I couldn't see through the dust cloud. I had to jump.

I used all my chakra to jump as high as I could. The dust cloud suddenly stopped getting bigger and bigger. As I was in the air, I saw Gai was laying down on another branch high up in the air. He was totally down, both physical and mental. I used the last of my chakra to get to the branch where Gai were. While I was in the air, I looked down. Konoha was still on fire and now it just looked like a battleground. I grabbed the branch and pulled me up. Gai were laying down and breathing heavily on the ground.

"Gai... Who would do such a thing...? I mean, burn down a whole town... Isn't that a little bit over the line. And who can even do that while Naruto and Kakashi and other strong ninjas are in the town". I said while a tear dropped from my chin.

Gai sighed while drops of tears hit the ground.

"I really don't know Lee, Somebody powerful enough to destroy a whole town with some of the strongest ninjas in it I guess".

The person or thing behind the fire was a total mystery. And it didn't look like there was any people left at Konoha. Therefore, I decided to ask Gai again.

"Gai, Isn't it a little strange, that there wasn't one single body back at Konoha?" I said mysteriously while itching my head.

Gai looked back at me in a hurry.

"Lee, you're a genius. Let's head back and see if there is any bodies. We need to gather clues," He said in a hurry while standing up.

"Gai, we can't see anything when there is still a big fire going on back there. We have to wait until tomorrow "I said while I sighed.

"You are probably right Lee, We need to wait. Maybe it's the best for us. We need to get some rest." He said while sitting down again. I sat down right next to him. The branch we was sitting made some cracking noises. It was about to crack. Gai looked at me in a hurry and said, "Lee, we need to move before this branch falls apart," I got on my feet and looked down. I counted to three. "1…2…3…" after I said that I jumped down. I used my chakra to land softly. I looked up, while hoping that the branch didn't crack while Gai was up there.

"Come on Gai, Jump down" I shouted after him. And after a couple of seconds Gai jumped down. He put his hand on my shoulder

"Let's find a place to rest, Lee" He said while looking around.

We started to search for a place where we could get some rest. And before we even noticed it we were right in the middle of the forest of the dead. After we were there for a bit, Gai finally noticed and looked at me in fear.

"Lee, don't panic but I think that we are in the forest of the dead right now" He whispered quietly.

"WHAT!" I screamed in fear, as I jumped in Gais arms. Gai looked at me while one of his eyebrows were twitching.

He had that kill-expression again that he had earlier. And suddenly he punched me hard in the head while dropping me.

"Lee, when I say Don't panic THEN DON'T PANIC!" He shouted right into my ear with his big eyebrows almost touching me.

"Sorry Gai sensei, but isn't it dangerous wandering in here just the two of us all alone?" I asked.

He looked at me with an annoyed expression.

"It sure is... But as long as we DON'T SCREAM we should be fine" He whispered in anger.

I looked at him with a scared smile "Ehh, So what do we do now?" I asked sarcastic.

"We wait right here until dawn. And then we get the hell out of here, you understand?" He said annoyed. I got on my feet in a hurry trying to make Gai proud.

"Sensei, I'm going to see if I can find any wood, so we can make a bonfire," I said with a proud smirk.

"No you idiot. Fire is the last thing we want to make right now. And making any sounds isn't any better. So you better keep your mouth shut, before I shut it for you, Okay Lee?" He whispered in irritation.

I sat down again in anger. "I can never do anything right" I thought to myself "while I began to take off my bandages at my hands. They were bloody and torn to pieces. I had some new rolls in my little backpack on my left thigh. I unfolded them and rolled them on my hands. "Ahhh brand new" I mumbled while drawing on the ground with my finger. I drew Sakura and me. We were together. We were happily married. But I knew that my drawing would never happen. I got sad and used my hand to wipe it away.

"Do you think that they are okay, Gai?" I asked him. He looked at me "Heh. Naruto and the others are strong… Of course they are okay," He said while smiling at me. I laid down on the ground. I used my little backpack as pillow. "Gai let's have some rest" I said while closing my eyes slowly. Gai nodded and laid down. The moon shined bright, and howls could be heard. And before I noticed it I fell asleep.
