Chapter Two

Lee got up early the next day and got dress. Instead of wearing his green spandex jumpsuit, he now was black pants, a black sleeveless shirt with a gold dragon design, black sandals, and a black sleeveless trench coat with a gold dragon design on the back, and a black Konoha headband. Lee also got rid of his old his hairstyle. He was prepared to start the sealing process of the eight other tailed beasts.

'I hope Shizune's right.' Lee thought. He really wanted to get this mission done and over with.

As Lee walked down the village streets, he was spotted by Gai.

"Morning Lee! What youthful one it is?" Gai greeted.

'I so don't need this.' Lee thought as he sighed. 'I can't believe I used to say the same thing too.'

Lee shunshined without saying a word. This took Gai for a loop. Since when Lee knew the body flicker technique?

Lee was arrive at the Forest of Death. To young ninja his age, this was a scary place. But Lee didn't mind it. On the contrary, Lee enjoyed the times he would venture into the forest by himself. Besides, he knew this place was the 44th Training Ground. Lee climbed the tallest tree in the forest. As soon as he arrived at the top, he pulled two cards.

As he raised the cards into the air, an eye made of golden light appeared on his forehead again. Lee began to hone in on two of the tailed beasts. One was Hachibi no Kyogyu and the other was Ichibi no Shukaku.

'I see.' Lee thought. 'This guy's seal is unbalanced. No wonder his mind is all screwed up. Well at least he'll be able to sleep now. Whoa! Look at the eight tails! Who would have known it would be an ushi-oni?'

Lee began the process. Just like Kyuubi, Ichibi and Hachibi was fighting for their freedom but it was useless. Just like Naruto, Ichibi's host, Gaara, and Hachibi's host, Killer Bee, were passed out. Also their marking and seals were gone. Everyone in their villages were dumbfounded by this.

'Shizune was right!' Lee thought in excitement. 'I can seal the tail beasts from long distances!'

Lee decided to take a break and headed back to the village so he could let Tsunade know of his progress.

As he walked back into the village, he decided to see what was happening in the Hokage's office. He peered into Shizune's mind and began to see through her eyes.

'Hmm. Lady Tsunade's two advisors are in the office right now.' Lee thought. 'Let see what they want with her.'

"Tsunade would you like to explain why Naruto doesn't have his whisker marks anymore?" Homura asked.

Tsunade played dumb. "What do you mean he have his whiskers marks?" she asked. "I saw him yesterday and he had them."

"Well he doesn't now." said Koharu who was now becoming a little annoyed.

"I will look into it as soon as possible." Tsunade assured them.

"See that you do." Homura said sternly as he and Koharu left the office.

Lee shunshined into the office.

"Morning, Lady Tsunade. Shizune." Lee greeted. "I can't believe those two feel for that."

"How did you know?" asked a surprised Shizune.

"Did you forget I can see through another person's eyes?" Lee asked.

"Oh right." Shizune said as she felt embarrassed.

"Lee, I like the new look." Tsunade complimented.

"Thank you." Lee replied as his mind was saying "YES! YES! YES!….She totally likes me!"

"Did you began the sealing process?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes." Lee said. "So far I sealed Ichibi no Shukaku and Hachibi no Kyogyu."

"Interesting." Tsunade said as she took a sip of her tea. "The one tailed demon Tanuki (Raccoon Dog) and the eight tailed Ox-Cephalopod."

"Lee?"

"Yes Shizune?"

"Who was Ichibi's host and Hachibi's host?" Shizune asked.

"Ichibi's host was a genin from Suna named Gaara. He's the son of the Fourth Kazekage." Lee answered. "Ichibi was seal within Gaara while he was still in his mother's womb."

Tsunade's eyes narrowed. She didn't like the sound of that. 'What kind of man would have a demon sealed inside his unborn child?'

"Hachibi's host was a jounin from Kumo named Killer Bee." Lee said. "He's the younger brother of the Fourth Raikage."

Shizune simply nodded as Tsunade's remembered the Fourth Raikage. She didn't like him at all. He was brash, arrogant, and too full of himself.

"Lee," Tsunade said. "keep up the good work."

"Yes ma'am." Lee said as he left the office.

"Amazing." said an intrigued Shizune.

"Yes, he is." Tsunade said. "Lee is advanced in his new abilities."

"How can you tell?" Shizune asked.

"It just the way he projects himself now." Tsuande answered. "He isn't same kid who looked and acted weird like Gai. He's a totally different person now."

"Do you think he's ready for the chunin exams?" Shizune asked.

"Yeah." Tsunade said. "Something tells me he'll be using one of the those cards Pegasus gave him."

As Lee was walking the village streets, he decided to get a small bite to eat and went to Ichiraku ramen.

"Morning, Lee." Teuchi greeted.

"Morning, Teuchi. Morning, Ayame." Lee greeted back.

"Like the new look, Lee." Ayame said.

"Thanks. I thought a change of appearance was in order."

"Same thing?" Teuchi asked.

"Yes. Thank you." Lee answered. He always ordered extra spicy ramen with tons of peppers, curry, and jalapeños.

After Lee ate he went to the training grounds. Gai had told him about exams before he went on his solo mission to Celestial Country. When he arrived, Gai, Neji, and TenTen spotted him.

"Lee!" Gai shouted as he ran to his student. "How dare you not greet me this morning?"

'Doesn't he know his antics is getting annoying now?' Lee thought as his took out a card. "Spell binding circle!"

Gai was caught in Lee's trap card. He tried to move, but the magic circle wouldn't allow it. Also, the magic circle was making him weaker.

"Lee, what did you do to sensei?" asked a surprised TenTen. Lee ignored her said and sat under a tree.

"Sensei, I'm warning you." Lee said as he closed his eyes. "The next you see me, come to me civilized."

Neji narrowed his eyes as he activated his byakugan. He was shocked when he saw Lee chakra network. 'What the hell? Gold chakra?'

"Lee, release sensei now!" TenTen demanded.

Lee did just that. Gai was surprised by Lee actions. First the body flicker technique and now this.

"Lee?"

Lee looked at Gai as the golden eye on his forehead was activate.

"What is that on his forehead?" TenTen asked nervously.

'Hmm. So that's when the chunin exams start.' Lee thought as he looked into Gai's mind.

"What's with the gold chakra?" Neji asked as he deactivated his byakugan.

Lee smirked as his deactivated the gold eye. "What's so damn funny, Lee?" asked an annoyed Neji. "What gold chakra?" Lee asked. Neji activated his byakugan again. He looked and was caught off guard. 'The hell?' Neji thought. 'I sworn I just saw gold chakra!' Lee was marking Neji see what he wanted him to see.

"I'll see you at the chunin exams next week." Lee said as he shunshined away.

Gai was shocked. 'How did he know when the exams was?' He thought. 'I only told him what they consisted of.'

Later that day, Gai, Neji, and Tenten was looking for Lee. However, Lee had proven to be very elusive. Gai decided to go to the Hokage's office when a dark clouds gathered and cover the village.

"Rain?" Tenten asked Gai.

"No." Gai answered. "Look at the clouds. They're only covering the village and nowhere else."

Hokage's mountain

"It's time." Lee said. "I did tell Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, Master Jiraiya, Lady Tsuande, and Shizune that they was going to see a huge sky dragon today."

Ichiraku Ramen

"Sensei." Naruto said calmly.

"I know." Kakashi said as Sakura and Sasuke looked at them confusedly.

'They know something.' Sasuke thought.

Hokage's office

"Tsunade what's going on out there?" Homura asked as he and Koharu entered the office.

Tsunade ignored them as she and Shizune watched the events unfold.

Hokage Mountain

"I summon Slifer the Sky Dragon!"

The large winged red sky dragon emerged from the thunder clouds.

Hokage's office

'So that's the sky dragon Lee said he was going to summon.' Tsunade thought.

"What is that?" Koharu asked as she was becoming a little shaken by the sight of the dragon.

Hokage Mountain

"I better call back Slifer." Lee said. "People will think the village is being attacked. Slifer return!"

Just as the thunder clouds and Slifer appeared, they disappeared. The civilians and ninja were scratching their heads. They were wondering what the hell just happened.

Industrial Illusions-Celestial Country

'Lee has summoned Slifer.' Pegasus smiled. 'He already sealed three tailed beasts. Interesting. Lee becoming highly advance in such short time.'
