Disclaimer: She's still trying to take over the world… And she still doesn't own Naruto…

Authoress: I decided to split this chapter in two and leave you with a cliffie! Yey! Anywho, I have been typing for 3 hours straight (with a break of the Tesco van man) and am now going to be typing for another couple of hours as I do the next chapter. Bows I know, I'm wonderful, but no need to thank me! I love my job!

Disclaimer: O.o Onto the story…

Terra had travelled a long way through the forest before she started to see a clearing. She slowed down and stood in a tree at the edge of the forest. She looked ahead of herself and noticed there was a huge field surrounded by trees.

In the centre there was Naruto fighting with… is that? No. No time to ponder over that. But why do I feel like I know him?

Her attention shifted as a green blur raced past her. She reached her hand out and grabbed it by the collar. Lee was at the end of her arm looking very… determined? She sighed and let him go as he turned to face her.

"Like a fish on a line" I said "What do you think you're doing?"

"Isn't it obvious? Naruto needs help!" I looked over at Naruto who was struggling against that man. I smirked and Lee looked confused.

"Well two is better than one I suppose… Let's do it!" I shouted. Lee looked at me as if I were mad. I am but that's not the point.

"I thought you were sent here to stop me?" I let a smile play across my lips.

"Was I? Oh yes, but they didn't say when to bring you back. I enjoy fighting. They shouldn't send a fighter to do a retriever's job!" He returned my smile and we raced across to the middle of the field. Lee sent a flying kick straight into the strangers back, somersaulted and landed up right next to me. The guy turned and raised an eyebrow at us seemingly unfazed. Naruto looked at us, tired, but glad.

"You're one of those guys aren't you?" I sighed.

"One of what guys" He answered remaining cool.

"The ones that just can't resist taking their shirts off" I smirked and I could feel Lee grin next to me. I looked at our opponent. Straight shoulder length white hair, green eyes and two red dots on his forehead.

Why? Why does he seem so familiar to me?

"We are your opponents now" stated Lee matter of factly.

"You're free to go Naruto! Hey that rhymes!" Naruto grinned at my comment while I stood there looking pleased with myself. He turned to leave, but the next thing you know the man was after him. Without warning there was a chain of slightly glowing leaves from around his wrist to where I had a firm grip of it in my hands.

"We're your opponents now" Said Lee.

"So don't turn your back on us" I finished. I gave a quick nod to Naruto and he began his pursuit of Sasuke. Before he went he warned us.

"Fuzzy brows, Terra, watch out he uses his own bones to attack, and he is very, very strong!" I winked at him and he left.

"Fine if you are to be my opponents, I like to know the names of those I am going to defeat" My chain disappeared into thin air.

"Sorry" I said "But we only give names to those we are going to defeat!"

She's a quick thinker at retorts thought Lee I wonder if she used to argue with Kakashi a lot?

"Lee"

"Terra" We both stated "You?"

"Kimimaro" he grinned. I made a disapproving noise, but he seemed like he had more to say. "A faithful servant of Orachimaru". The name froze me to the spot. Lee looked at me and I forced myself to relax.

"Well faithful servant" I said "let's see how well you do against Konoha's finest Ninjas!" I retorted.

"Oh, finest?" He replied "I know who you are Terra, and you're anything but fine" He smirked as I stared agog.

He knows me? How? Why do I feel like I know him?

"Just ignore him Terra!" Lee said to me "He's trying to get to you!" I nodded.

Just trying to get to me.

Lee began running at Kimimaro and placed two blows on him. Kimimaro jumped into the air and came back down about to use full force on Lee, but Lee jumped into the air and landed a punch right under is chin. Kimimaro went flying backwards and landed upright. He moved his shoulder about a bit. Any normal person would have broke it but his just creaked.

"My next move will end it" Lee stated.

"Don't be stupid!" I shouted "You're in no condition to do that!"

"Konoha great whirlwind!" Lee went into kick Kimimaro at the legs. Kimimaro acted exactly as lee wanted him to and jumped in to the air. I shook my head as Lee jumped after him. He tried to kick him twice more but couldn't land a single one. This was getting interesting. I took my hand from my head and folded my arms.

I wonder when he will want me to do something? I thought to myself.

"You're very flexible aren't you?" Lee said "And you move very precisely" Lee ran to Kimimaro and pulled back his fist. Kimimaro completely dodged it as Lee fell forwards he raised his bone sword to Lee who was still falling.

Right that's it!

A bow and arrow made from water materialised in my hands and I pulled back the string when…

"Please wait!" cried Lee. Kimimaro stopped in his tracks. "Excuse me it's time for my medicine" I fell backwards from the sheer stupidity of Lee. When I stood back up my bow and arrow disappeared. "Sorry but I have to take it. Please wait a moment" He lifted the bottle from his ninja bag and raised it.

Wait a minute! That's not medicine! Maybe I should warn him… I contemplated this thought.

"Lee! Wait!"

Too late… he already drank it…

Lee wobbled around and dropped the bottle on the floor. Kimimaro just looked on in strangeness and I had to laugh.

"What did he just drink?" He asked, it just made me laugh harder. I retreated to a safe distance when Lee's eyes half closed and his cheeks started to go red.

"Whosa hell're you?" shouted Lee "Geez you idiot…" Lee began to get into a fighting stance and Kimimaro held up his bone sword. The wind blew across the field blowing my hair to one side.

Lee still wobbling edged closer to his opponent. He even fell onto his knees and I had to stifle laughter. Kimimaro looked on in utter disbelief, his face blank as a piece of paper. Suddenly Lee leapt up and began to run towards him.

"Don't just stand there and stare!" He jumped up and sent a spinning kick. Kimimaro dodged and jumped into the air. Lee quickly followed fighting him in the air. They were suspended in the air, fighting. It was a blur of activity to fast for normal people to follow.

Luckily I'm not normal… I thought It's at times like these I'm glad I'm a ninja!

They both came back down to earth again and Kimimaro was pushed back a few feet. Lee was wobbling again.

"Not… bad" said Lee "for some reason as I move around more, I'm starting to feel really weird. Huh?" Lee fell backwards and was lying backwards. I raised an eyebrow and put my hand over my mouth trying not to laugh.

So this is the art of drunken fist, eh?

Kimimaro went cautiously towards him. Looking at him he realised Lee had fallen asleep. He put his sword above Lee who suddenly lurched up shouting

"You fell for it!" he started punching and eventually landed one on Kimimaro who went spinning backwards and landed heavily on his back causing a dust cloud around him.

"I was acting like I was asleep, but really I wasn't!" I sighed and muttered to myself.

"He's acting like such a kid..." Suddenly Lee was in front of me.

"What did you say?"

"Umm… err… nothing… umm… Hey look at that flying banana with pyjamas on its head!" I quickly hid behind the tree and lee went back to focusing on Kimimaro. As soon as he was in front of him again he fell backwards… asleep… yet again. Kimimaro got up and walked towards Lee. He was nearly there when…

"You fell for it again!" Up shot Lee with raised fists. "If you think I'm the type who'll just lay here with my arms and legs outstretched then… you're dead wrong! I… I… huh? Why am I here?" Lee wobbled and fell backward on his butt, folding his legs and crossing hi arms. "Why?" Kimimaro looked beside him and saw the bottle. He picked it up and read…

"Sake? Is he just drunk? Then… I'll send you to the after life painlessly" Kimimaro stood over Lee who was now flat out sleeping. Kimimaro held the sword tip to his nose. I came out from behind the tree and took a step forward.

Has lee gone a step to far this time?

Kimimaro span the sword around and grabbed it. He went to stab Lee who rolled to his left away from the sword. I looked on agog. Kimimaro tried again but to the same answer. He did it faster but all that happened was that Lee moved out of the way. That was, until he blocked it with his feet… Lee pulled his feet to the side and stood up while Kimimaro span off. Kimimaro went in for the kill. He swiped and swiped at Lee who kept on dodging effortlessly. Again and again…

"I was sleeping so well." Swiping, swiping… "You annoying buzzing bug!" a combo of kicking later Kimimaro was being pushed back. "Achoo! Come on!" shouted Lee. "If you're not coming to me! I'll come to you!" Lee ran at great speed towards him. When he was about three meters from giving him a good pounding… he fell over. If this was an anime, you would have seen me sweat drop…

"Ouch. It's your fault!" Suddenly Lee went mad. Kicking and punching, spinning and tumbling. All Kimimaro could do was dodge.

And I for one will never go out on a night with Lee… This was amazing. I have never seen such fighting from Lee. Such speed and power. Especially from one of Orachimaru's most powerful servants. What? How did I know that? Where did that come from?

Then suddenly he was fighting with his feet. Pushing Kimimaro, back, back way back. Kimimaro's speed suddenly increased. Sending many slashes at lee… he bent backwards and Kimimaro moved behind him in the blink of an eye. He went to slash at Lee who was continuing backwards. But Lee held his own and came back up again. This battle was so fierce; Lee was putting Kimimaro under so much pressure. Much more of this and soon Lee would win. Suddenly Lee tripped him slightly and punched him in the stomach sending him flying backwards, landing on his back and flipping over to stand up at the last minute.

God that must've hurt!

"Achoo!" screeched Lee.

Somewhere back in the woods three black figures were making their way to the three shinobi. One to Lee, one to Kiba and one to Shikamaru who were trying to get out of the sticky situation. Shikamaru was trying to hold off one of Sasuke's protectors while Kiba was hiding from his, seriously wounded. But were they to help or hinder the Konoha shinobi…

Uh-oh… looks like Kimimaro is getting serious…

Lee swayed as Kimimaro stood up.

I can't read his moves. And his managing to land blows on me. Very impressive Tajiutsu.I don't have a choice. Kimimaro thought.

A glowing light that started at his chest began to spread out. It was like a glowing fire colour, buts as it spread it looked like branches of trees going in different directions. It stopped and stayed on the main part of his torso. He began twitching his fingers, and things were moving under the skin of his arms like a bug. Five bones burst out from his arm stopping at his wrist. I let out a small gasp and he smirked in my direction.

"I'm surprised you don't remember"

What is he talking about?

"My bones are my main method of attack. You heard that from the replicating boy earlier didn't you?"

I guess he means Naruto, yeah, the shadow clone technique.

"I'll awaken you from your drunkenness soon."

"I'm not drunk!" retorted Lee. He ran up to Kimimaro and kicked. Kimimaro blocked the first one and fended off the second one. Lee went backwards but landed on his feet.

I wonder if I should help now? Nah. I'm good just watching.

"Then I'll wake you up!" Kimimaro raced towards Lee who went towards him. They began hand to hand combat again.

"I'm not drunk!" Lee ducked under Kimimaro's kick. "Besides, I'm underage" Lee flipped away. "Kids can't drink alcohol." Lee went to punch him in the stomach when bones sprang from Kimimaro's chest sending lee tumbling backwards.

"Lee!" I shouted.

"It's to unpredictable isn't it?" asked Kimimaro. "This is my bloodline limit." I noticed Lee had been cut on the cheek. Lee got up slightly.

"What? My head is pounding. And this wound…" he put his hand to his cheek "It looks like I was drunk. That form!" He looked at Kimimaro.

"Looks like you have awoken from that drunken stupor. This is my bloodline limit. My bloodline limit allows me to freely control both my bone-forming and bone-reabsorbing cells. I also can control calcium density to shape my bones. In other words, humans have about 200 bones in their body, but for me, I don't have a fixed number." Lee stood up and another bone protruded from Kimimaro's chest, shining like whitened teeth.

"But bones are bones. If I break them then it's over!" Lee began to run towards Kimimaro.

I do believe Lee just underestimated him…

Terra shook her head and took a couple of steps forward incase anything went wrong and she needed to save Lee.

Lee went to punch Kimimaro who just put up the arm with the bones and Lee's punch bounced right off.

It's so hard! Thought Lee. Are these really human bones?

Lee went racing towards Kimimaro again. As Lee came behind him…

"Dance of the Larch" Bones sprang from the top half of Kimimaro's body. He began to spin around and around very fast while Lee was just being tossed and ripped apart like a toy. He stopped spinning and Lee was thrown across the floor like a rag doll. Lee didn't get up. His eyes were closed and Kimimaro put his bones back in his body and began to walk away. Lee's eyes flickered and he stood up.

"Please wait. This is where it really begins"

You're a fool Lee! You're at your limit!

My objective is to slow him down as much as possible thought Lee Since that's the case, I wanted to avoid using such a huge suicidal move but it seems that he is not so weak that I can avoid using my secret technique.

Kimimaro turned back round. Lee unwrapped the bandage on one of his arms slightly then got into a fighting stance.

"Here I come!"

Since I just came out of surgery I'm not in my best form Lee sped towards Kimimaro but I should be able to open the first gates of the eight, the initial gate. He started to run around Kimimaro in circles so fast he was causing a dust cloud to raise.

"First gate! Initial gate!" all you could see was the dust. "Kai…!" a bandage sprung out from the dust and wrapped Kimimaro.

"Initial Lotus!" Lee went to kick him but Kimimaro's bones struck through Lee's binding and Lee hit pure and solid bone.

He was able to cancel out the impact with his bones? Thought Lee struggling to get his foot free.

"Impressive speed" commented Kimimaro "But it's over"

Not if I can help it. Thought Terra.

"Die!" Kimimaro went to punch Lee, with his bones that would be used like swords, Lee was frozen to the spot. He couldn't move if he tried.

Authoress: Well I hope that was to everyone's liking. Now onto the interview. I would've got Sasuke but at the moment he is running away trying to avoid Naruto. So I grabbed Lee instead. Lee is doing nice guy pose

Lee: Yes I've come to talk about my operation and the greatest sensei in the world who was there for me and believed in me!

Authoress: on second thought Looks evil Go Hakura! Big dog chases Lee around the kitchen. O! Grapes! Must eat! Thank god for the Tesco van man!

Lee: is being chased but stops to do nice guy pose R&R people. If you won't do it for the authoress, do it for me Love heart wink. Is bitten on the bum by Hakura. Runs around kitchen again
