Li Yue Ting: Guang Zhao! We've gotta hurry up! If we don't we'll never be able to find Tsunade-sama!
Wu Guang Zhao: I know, I know, but….
Li Yue Ting: But what?
Wu Guang Zhao: What if we don't make it back in time?
Li Yue Ting: In time for what? You're not making any sense, Guang Zhao.
Wu Guang Zhao: Huh? I make perfect sense. You're the one not making sense.
Li Yue Ting: What do you mean? I'm making sense. Aren't I? Now I'm confused! Guang Zhao! Help me!
Wu Guang Zhao: hehehe, that's what you get for saying that I don't make sense.
Li Yue Ting: Well, I guess you make more sense than the baka with his hammer made.
Wu Guang Zhao: Yep, yep, yeppers, there's no one who could make any less sense than him.
Li Yue Ting: Agreed.
Wu Guang Zhao: So, why were you so weird back there?
Li Yue Ting: What are you talking about? Let's go find Tsunade-sama before old man Sarutobi Hokage-sama stops our fun.
Wu Guang Zhao: Fine, but this isn't the end of this Yue Ting!

"Hurry, hurry, Guang Zhao, the gates right ahead," Li Yue Ting announces as she runs ahead of her best friend, heading for the gate that would lead to their freedom to chase after their long-gone master.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," Guang Zhao assures her friend.
"Good afternoon, guys, where are you off to?" one of the ninja sitting at the gate asks.
"We're going to find Tsunade-sama, it's been forever since we've seen her," Guang Zhao announces happily.
"Yeah, but don't tell Kaa-san, she might scold us a bit," Li Yue Ting nods her head.
"Why would Anko-san scold you for…? Wait a minute, aren't the two of you supposed to be the medical ninja for the Chuunin exams?" the ninja blinks.
"Uh-oh, looks like we've been caught," Li Yue Ting smiles as she shrugs her shoulders.
"What are we gonna do, Yue Ting? I wanna see Tsunade-sama," Wu Guang Zhao complains.
"Well, looks like we'll just have to go see her," Li Yue Ting states.
"But…" Wu Guang Zhao comments. "Yue…Ting…?"
Wu Guang Zhao looks on with a look of uneasiness as the gentle random friend that she knew disappeared, leaving a stern girl standing where she had once been. The Li Yue Ting now standing by Wu Guang Zhao's side no longer had the gentle carefree eyes, they were stern, and the calm air that normally surrounds her fills with pressure as Li Yue Ting gets serious.
"If Guang Zhao wants to go see Tsunade-sama, I'll make sure she gets to see Tsunade-sama," Li Yue Ting states, her voice somewhat dark compared to normal, making the hair on the back of the guard ninja's neck stand on end.
"N-n-now hold on a minute, y-y-you have a commitment to uphold," he stutters.
"All those who get in the way of what Guang Zhao wants will have to be punished," Li Yue Ting states, her eyes narrowing in on the ninja.
"Yue Ting-chan," Ibiki calls out the girl's name, coming down the path towards them. "Stand down," he orders to the guard ninja.
Li Yue Ting's eyes shoot from the guard ninjas who step back to their post, to Ibiki's approaching form.
"No one will prevent me from making my Guang Zhao happy," Li Yue Ting declares as she reaches over and grabs Wu Guang Zhao's hand firmly in her own. "Let's go, Guang Zhao."
"Mmm," Wu Guang Zhao nods her head, knowing how protective Li Yue Ting is of her.
Ibiki steps between them and the gate. "You're not going anywhere," he declares.
"Move," Li Yue Ting demands as a fire builds in her eyes.
"Hokage-sama has ordered that you return to the Chuunin exams immediately. There will be plenty of time for you to go see Tsunade once the exams are finished," Ibiki stands firm.
"But…Tsunade-sama…" Wu Guang Zhao pouts.
Li Yue Ting's teeth crash into each other as her right hand balls into a firm fist.
"Insignificant fly," she growls as she lifts her fist in front of her chest and flings her forearm forward, side-punching Ibiki out of the way, sending him crashing into the post to the right of the entrance. "Guang Zhao gets what Guang Zhao wants. Guang Zhao must always be happy. Without her happiness, there is no meaning in this life. I won't let anyone take away her happiness!"
With that, Li Yue Ting scoops Wu Guang Zhao into her arms and takes off out of the village.
