BEHOLD!! THE RETURN OF A VERY YOUTHFULL CHARACTER!! One of my favorites actually, see if you can guess who it is (you should be able to though!!)

CHAPTER 11: "SASUKE'S REQUEST"

Sasuke stared intently at the ground as he walked back to his home, shivering slightly when a cold rush of wind hit his bare arms and legs. He looked up at the sky, it was getting dark as the sun set and the stars and moon could be seen just barely. He grumbled in annoyance at his cut leg.

'I'm the only one with a wound' He thought, hands in his shorts pockets. 'I need to start training immediately, but with who?' As he passed the training fields, he heard a loud cry. "Huh?" He said, snapped out of his thoughts.

As Sasuke walked in the direction of the sound, he saw a little green dot hunched over across the training fields. "Lee?" Sasuke asked, calling over to the dot. He asumed he was right as the dot stopped moving and turned around, confriming his accusations. "Uh, Sasuke-kun?" Lee got up from his sit, dusted himself off, and made a dash towards Sasuke.

"What is it, Sasuke-kun?" Lee asked, flexing his muscles.

"Hn, Lee, I thought your body was still hurt from your fight back in the Chunin Exams" Sasuke said, curious as to why a broken-boned shinobi was out training. Lee stopped his punches towards the air at this. "Oh! Yes! I took the operation and it was a succes! Thanks to Hokage-sama's exceptional healing abilities! Though I still have a few problems now and then, I am back to normal!!" Lee exclaimed, proving his point by sending a fast kick into the air. "Well then, how about we test your recovery by sparring with me?" Sasuke challenged.

Lee paused and seem to be taking this into consideration. He answered by putting his hand in front of his body, and folding the other behind his back, getting into his trademark stance. "Yes, it would be nice to once again test my ablilities agaisnt you, Sasuke, as I'm sure your Sharingan has developed since our last match." Lee smirked.

Sasuke got into his stance as well. "So, how are we gonna do this?" He asked. "Whatever you want. I wish to test my skills agaisnt the best" Lee answered, concentration all over his sweaty face. "Alright, you asked for it..BEGIN!!" Sasuke then dashed towards Lee and sent a punch his way, which was easily dodged and countered by a kick into Sasuke's stomach, causing the Uchiha to gack.

'Shit, he's gotten faster!!' Sasuke thought as he grabbed Lee's ankle and twisted, only to promote another swift kick from Lee's other leg into his jaw, sending him flying upwards. Before his body could come back down however, two bandaged hands wrapped themselves around Sasuke's waist, spinning his body rapidly.

'The Lotus!! I've got to counter!!' Sasuke thought as he grabbed Lee's hands and pulled them apart, spinning Lee around so that he was now behind him. Sasuke smirked as he let out a cry: "Shishi Rendan!!" (Lion Combo) Lee's eyes squinted shout as he felt the consecutive kicks hit his body, followed by the last one on contact with the ground. Before Sasuke could remove his leg from Lee's body however, Lee grabbed the leg and pulled it, and, along with Sasuke, was sent backwards.

"AAAHHHHH!!!" Lee screamed as he ran towards Sasuke, sending a punch into his jaw bone, followed by a kick into his stomach, sending blood through his now wide open mouth. Sasuke quickly regained his footing as he jumped a few steps back while forming handsigns, signaling the arrival of one of his fire jutsus.

"Katon: Goukakayu no Jutsu!!" Sasuke said as he exhaled a stream of fire in Lee's direction. "Gaa!!" Lee jumped in the air dodging the flames, throwing shuriken toward the Uchiha. Sasuke stopped the jutsu just in time enough to grab a kunai and deflect the shuriken headed his way. "Heh, getting serious, eh? Fine!! So shall I!!" Lee shouted, his fist balled tightly as he dashed towards Sasuke. With his Sharingan now activated, Sasuke clearly saw Lee's moves, and this time, his body was quick enough to dodge them.

A kick sent Lee's body hitting the ground hard, a trail of blood down his mouth. 'I see, what I saw in the Chunin exams was no mistake. Sasuke can now dodge my moves and mimic my normal speed.' Lee thought as he got up. 'But I doubt he can mimic my true speed'

Sasuke's smirk was wiped clean off when he saw Lee removing some weights from his legs. 'Naruto did say something about Lee having weights on all the time. He also mentioned that they were insanly heavy. If that's the case, I'd better be carefull.' Sasuke thought, his red Sharingan eyes staring at Lee removing his weights.

"YOSH!! PREPARE YOURSELF, FOR THESE WEIGHTS ARE EVEN HEAVIER THAN THE LAST!!" Lee said as he lifted the weights up, then smirked as he dropped them.

BOOM!!!!!

Sasuke's body shook rapidly as the impact of the weights hitting the ground shook the whole area. 'What the hell?' Sasuke thought as he shut his eyes to aviod the dust from the explosion getting in his eyes.

TAK, TAK, TAK!!

"AARRRGGHH!!" A punch had connected with Sasuke's face as he flew back in the smoky training field, blood now running freely from his lip. Another punch was sent and connected with Sasuke's stomach this time, followed by another, and another, and another, and another...

'Shit!! This is no good!! It's too dusty from the smoke those weights he dropped made. I goota get out of this smoke or it's over!!' Sasuke jumped in the air, hopeing to make it out of the smoke to see clearly, but was shocked when he saw a smear of green headed his way, moving at insane speeds, sending up even more dust into the already cloudy area. The green blur spent around Sasuke, throwing thousnds of smoke bombs everytime, making it harder to see even more.

BAM!!!

Sasuke could've sworn he heard a cracking sound as his body was sent flying back into the dust from one of Lee's punches.

'Bushy Brow here is pretty smart. He figured out the Sharingan's weakness. When the weights hit the ground, it sent up alot of debris and dust making it hard to see in, plus, now that he's running so fast and throwing smoke bombs, that's sending up dust into the air as well, and to top if off, it's getting dark outside. Shit. I sure as hell picked a lousy time to challenge someone.'

"Zero visiblity, my weak spot.." Sasuke said. "But eventually this smoke will clear.. and that's when I'll strike!!" "But he says I'll give you the chance!!" Came Lee's voice.

"Hn, who says I need you to give me a chance.." Sasuke confidently said, his hands zooming through handsigns. In a few moments, a flame could be seen lighting up the whole area. 'There!!' Sasuke thought as he saw a green blur zoom past. His Sharingan may still be a two-tomoe, but he could use what he knew about Lee and predict his next movements with his knowledge. And, by the way Lee kept running around him like that, Sasuke assumed he was goning to try the Lotus. He was proved right as a swift kick hit his chin, sending him soaring up, followed by the familar wrapping of the white-fabric and the spinning.

"Eat this!! The- Huh?!" Lee's eye twiched when he saw that Sasuke had turned into a log in his grasp. Sasuke smirked as he threw kunai at the spinning duo, each tied to a thread that lead back to him. Once the kunai hit the rotating Lee, they both begin to spin as well, tieing the thread around Lee. Beack where the thread came from, stood a proud Sasuke who watched as Lee's spinning body hit the ground, his own attack hurting himself.

In the small hole lay a dizzy Lee, he himself never being the victim of his own Lotus attack before. "Uhh... exactly what I would expect from an Uchiha.." Lee began, slowing getting up. "Care for, a rematch?" He asked, his eyes blazing with youthful fury. "Sure, I want all the sparring I can get" "Okay, put first, let us please wait until the world stops spinning..."
