Lee's regimen has caught up to my own. The power of youth has blessed him well. I presume within a month's time he will have unlocked seven gates and even more dangerous techniques than the ones I have devised. Soon enough, he will be training his own taijutsu prodigies, each unleashing whirlwinds upon the land. Just the image of their cyclone kicks brings tears to my eyes.
Yet, these sudden brews of change concern me. As my own youth expires, will my fire endure the days? Will I still be teaching academy? Will I push myself too hard, grind my own body into overworked mush? Will my gray hairs strike the same fear into enemies as they do now? Will Konoha miss me? Will the legacy of the Green Beast live on?
Of course it will! What a ridiculous doubt, reader! Youth is not a physical condition! It is a state of the psyche, an adventurous philosophy! Man is the product of his actions. If inactive, he will most certainly feel geriatric. Sluggish. But if one were to treat everyday as if it were his first, he shall always feel young.
I have made a Dynamic Discovery!
