A/N: If you all want to imagine this chapter in the chibi-style Rock Lee's spin-off had, I'm sure it would be even funnier. ^^


"YOOOOSH! It's time!"

Rock Lee shouted as he ran out the front door of the Strauss house. The three siblings were kind enough to let him stay there during the duration of his mission.

What was this mission you ask?

"To find a way to bring Naruto-Kun back to Konoha!"

Lee announced to no one in particular and broke into a sprint down the street.

"L-Lee-San! Wait for… Me!"

Elfman yelled as he struggled to catch up. He was one of the Strauss siblings and a close friend Lee had made since coming to Fiore.

"Guy-Sensei once said that youth doesn't wait for anyone, Elfman-Kun! That is why we must chase it with all our might! In fact, to make this more challenging, I'll run on my hands!"

The green clad ninja shouted back before jumping into the air and landing on his hands.

"I don't really get it, but it sounds manly! I shall you join you!"

Elfman said and the two boys proceeded to walk through the town on their hands.


Two girls stood in the middle of a grassy field just outside of Magnolia Town. These girls were Lucy and Juvia, and they were waiting for the third member of their group.

"When Naruto-Sama arrives, Juvia will show Lucy the fruits of our bonding! Lucy won't stand a chance and will have no choice but to give up her wicked ways~!"

Juvia chimed as she danced around the open field Naruto used for training.

"What wicked ways!? Anyways, be careful not to slip Juvia. It rained yesterday so the field is still wet."

Lucy warned her cheerful friend. She was standing underneath a tree in case it started raining again.

While Juvia and Lucy waited for Naruto to arrive, Rock Lee and Elfman slowly made their way towards the girls' location.

"*Huff!* *Huff!* Lee-San…! I can't… Oof!"

Elfman, having reached his limit, slipped on the moist grass and collapsed on his back.

Seeing his friend fall, Lee pushed off the ground with enough force to send himself into the air. He did a summersault mid-air before gracefully landing on his feet.

"Nice work, Elfman-Kun! This time you made it all the way to the field! Had the grass not been wet, I'm sure you would have made it!"

Rock Lee praised the exhausted giant, who raised a shaky thumbs up in response.

"…What are you two doing?"

Lucy asked while smiling awkwardly, because watching two boys walking on their hands through a field on a cloudy day was definitely not on her list of normal things to do.

"Ah, well if it isn't Lucy-San! Elfman-Kun and I were actually looking for Naruto-Kun and figured he might be here!"

Lee asked while gesturing to his fallen companion, who was now fast asleep and snoring.

Lucy almost had to take a step back at how energetic the spandex wearing ninja was. She hadn't had too many conversations with Lee, but Naruto did tell her that he was a little weird. Even by Fairy Tail standards.

It seemed her partner had been telling the truth, as Lee randomly started doing one handed push-ups.

"Do you normally work out in the middle of talking with people?"

"Ah, you'll have to excuse me! This field was giving me a training vibe, so I got a little carried away!"

Lee apologized and looked up at her with a sheepish smile as he continued to do his push-ups.

'Yup. This guy's a weirdo…'

Lucy thought as she pulled on her skirt to make sure Lee didn't' get any lucky glances and took an uneasy step back as an extra precaution.

"Ah! That's right! I need to find Naruto-Kun!"

With another burst of energy, Lee exploded from the ground a second time.

"Excuse me, but what is your business with Naruto-Sama… Depending on your reasons, Juvia may have to send you away."

Juvia said as she walked up to Lee and Lucy.

'What are you, his secretary?'

The celestial mage thought with a sweatdrop. She hoped this didn't lead to a fight breaking out between the two of them.

"I decided that today was the day that we find some worthy information!"

"Is that so…"

Juvia muttered while Lucy smiled, happy to see that one of Naruto's friends cared so much about helping him.

"Well, we don't know much about why-Juvia what are doing!?"

Lucy shrieked and jumped back when Juvia's magic flared, causing small torrents of water to appear and swirl around her figure.

"Juvia must apologize, but Naruto-Sama is not here right now. Besides, Lee-San and Elfman-San's plan gets in the way of Juvia's alone time with Naruto-Sama today. Juvia even had a plan to get rid of Lucy and everything."

"You had a plan to what!?"

Lucy demanded at hearing this revelation, but Juvia merely adverted her gaze from the blonde's direction.

"I see. Then shall we have a light sparing match while we wait for Naruto-Kun to arrive?"

Lee suggested as he slipped into his fighting stance. Ever since the incident at the guild with Juvia and Sakura, Rock Lee had been wanting to challenge the water mage to a sparring match.

"Juvia accepts."

The rain woman said, and the two combatants sprang into action.

Before Juvia could even react, Rock Lee was in front of her with his leg swinging towards her side. But to the ninja's surprise, his leg passed right through her body as it turned into water.

Juvia took advantage of the boy's surprise and lashed her arm out, sending a volley of liquid blades.

"Water Slicer!"

"Hiyup!"

Lee hopped to the side to avoid the blades and was fast enough to get away unscathed. But Elfman, who was still fast asleep, was left behind.

"Gyah!"

Elfman shouted as the water blades fell upon his location, causing the man to bounce off the ground and into the air.

"Oops."

Juvia said with an expression void of any emotion.

"Show some sympathy for your comrades! You're the one who's at fault here!"

Lucy scolded from behind the safety of a nearby tree, and her female companion looked away and started whistling innocently.

She didn't aim for Elfman on purpose, did she!? How far was Juvia willing to go to be alone with Naruto?

"Elfman-Kun!"

Rock Lee hurried over and caught his friend just as he was about to hit the ground. Laying the man on the grass, manly tears began to stream down the youth's face.

"I am sorry, my friend! I should have been paid more attention to my surroundings before I issued that challenge!"

"D-don't worry about me… Lee-San! I'll be fine… After some rest…"

Elfman said as he began to close his eyes to get some much-needed sleep.

Truth be told, the attack hadn't hurt him all that much. The reason Elfman was so tired was because the intense workout schedule he had been following ever since Lee started living with him and his siblings.

Lee was a nice guy, but he trained WAY too much!

"Eflman-Kun!"

Rock Lee wiped his eyes with a bandaged arm. He then laid his friend's head onto the grass before standing up, his head held high.

"Don't worry, Elfman-Kun. I will achieve victory for the both of us! Youthful Men!"

Lee shouted into the cloudy heavens, earning a sweatdrop from both females present.

Elfman nodded proudly with his eyes still closed. The grass may be wet, but if was still comfy. Maybe now he could get some rest…

Turning around to face his opponent, the tai-jutsu specialist took on a new stance. His legs were spaced out and his body was slightly inclined to the side, and he held one arm stretched out behind him while the other was inclined in front of him.

Juvia narrowed her eyes suspiciously. While the stance looked rather silly, Lee's eyes showed confidence and resolve. This was clearly a move he had spent many hours practicing.

'What is he planning…?'

Lucy thought as she watched the rather strange standoff in front of her.

"I heard Juvia-San was a water mage and was immune to physical attacks, so I knew it would be difficult to land any of my normal techniques on you…"

Rock Lee finally said while sliding his feet together and crouching slightly.

"However! I have been secretly working on a technique that can evenly match your water magic!"

"Lee-San, you don't mean…!"

Elfman, who was about to fall asleep, shot his eyes open and stared at his youthful friend in disbelief.

Juvia prepared herself for whatever her opponent was about to throw at her.

Lucy watched with a contemplated expression. As far as she knew, Lee was a ninja that could only fight using hand-to-hand combat.

So what was he planning to use? Ninja tools? Magic items?

"Water Style-"

Rock Lee shouted as he sprung off the ground like a spring, surprising both girls.

"Lee can use water ninjutsu!?"

Lucy balked as the supposedly jutsu-less ninja rose higher and higher into the air.

Juvia smirked. It seemed the boy had yet to learn about another one of her abilities.

"Fool! Juvia is a Water Dragon Slayer, so she can eat any water to gain more power!"

"W-wait! Juvia, don't-"

Elfman tried to warn the rain woman, but he was too late.

Rock Lee reached a comfortable height and began to spin like a ballerina at an inhuman speed.

"-Spring Shower of Youth!"

As the name of his technique implied, a shower of water droplets began to rain down on everyone on the field.

"Amazing… I thought Lee-San couldn't use-Wait…"

Lucy said and was about to step outside of the safety of her tree when a strange odor hit her nostrils, and her blood ran cold as her eyes widened in realization.

"KYAAAAAAHHH!"

Juvia screamed bloody murder as she scurried around to find a dry patch of grass to scrub her tongue off, but the entire field was covered in water droplets and she couldn't tell what was water and what was...

Sweat.

Just as Lee landed on the ground, a proud grin on his face, Juvia pounced on him at a speed that would put Minato Namikaze to shame.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?"

"Wahh!"

Lucy sweatdropped as she watched Juvia beat the living snot out of Rock Lee. Luckily she had been under this tree, otherwise she'd be covered in sweat like Juvia.

"Poor Juvia… What a vulgar technique! Honestly, what was he thinking? Throwing sweat on a girl-KYAAA!?"

Unknown to Lucy, a droplet of water had been slowly making its way down a tree branch right above her. But she was too busy ranting about Rock Lee's gruesome technique to notice and it fell onto the back of her neck.

Juvia, seemingly satisfied with her pummeling, dropped Rock Lee's unconscious form onto the ground and began to panic.

"What is Juvia going to do!? What if Naruto-Sama shows up and sees Juvia covered in another man's sweat-"

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, I ran into Sakura-Chan and-Huh? What's that smell?"

Naruto's voice could be heard in the distance, and Juvia's face turned deathly pale.

That day, the town of Magnolia was hit by a record-breaking rainstorm.
