Another annoying bit... People just seem to ignore all the fun and wackiness of Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth!

Taking inspiration from that for fics seems like it would be a lot of fun.


In order to help Hinata with her training, Team Gai and the rest of Team 8 (minus Kurenai) are helping her overcome her issues.

And at Rock Lee's suggestion, they have decided to help her overcome her biggest weakness: Naruto.

To wit...

Rock: "BEHOLD! WE ARE ALL NARUTO!"

And indeed, Lee, Gai, Kiba, Shino, and Akamaru are all dressed as Naruto... While Neji and Tenten watch in disbelief nearby.

Hinata: "Are... Are you all making fun of me?"

Rock Lee: "No Hinata! We are trying to help you overcome your weakness!"

Hinata: "I like my weakness, thank you."

Rock Lee: "Dattebayo! Sakura-chan, date me! I will be Hokage!"

Gai: "I AM NARUTO UZUMAKI! NINJA LEGEND OF YOUTH! DATTEBAYO!"

Kiba: "Ooh, I'm Naruto! I want to make out with Sasukkkke! I'm gonna be his uke! Dattebayo!"

Shino: "I am Naruto Uzumaki. You will not harm my friends. I will be Hokage. Dattebayo."

Akamaru: "Woof."

Hinata manifests a murderous aura.

Kiba: "Uh oh..."

Gai: "YES HINATA! THAT'S IT! YOUR YOUTHFUL POWER IS BEING UNLEASHED!"

Neji has broken into a run while Tenten finds some cover.

Gai: "EXPLODE WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!"

Shino has edged out of Hinata's path.

Only Lee and Gai continue on, oblivious to the peril.

Lee: "Yes! I, Naruto, will definitely bring back Sasuke! And make out with him! He will be my boyfriend! DATTEBAYO!"

Kiba: "No Lee, NO!"

Lee: "I WILL DO THE SEX IN HIS BOTTOM FIVE HUNDRED TIMES! And if I cannot do that, I WILL HAVE MORE THE SEX WITH HIM IN RAMEN!"

Akamaru has fled behind Hanabi.

Gai: "SHE'S READY TO EXPLODE WITH HER YOUTHFUL PASSION! DATTEBAYO!"

Hinata does explode with "youthful passion"... And everyone within the radius of Hinata's rage ends up in the hospital in a single room, heavily bandaged. Tenten, Neji and Akamaru escape and visit the idiots in their room.

Shino: "I thought my impersonation was quite accurate and complimentary."

Neji: "It was, she just needed something to beat Gai-sensei over the head with and you were, unfortunately, within reach."

Shino: "... Fair enough."

Sakura: Arrives for her shift, sees the disaster that is Team 8 and Team Gai's attempt at helping Hinata. "... I'm not even going to ask what happened and assume Rock Lee was responsible-and that you deserved it."

Rock Lee: "Hinata's fiery powers of youth... Are quite terrifying..."

Gai: encased in a body cast "Yes, but we helped her achieve a new level to her power! SUCCESS!"

He tries to give a thumbs up but the bandages prevent him from doing so.

Gai: "... Tenten! Give a thumbs up for me!"

Tenten: sighs, and does so

Kiba: pushes call button "I need more ice for my... For my..."

Tenten: "Balls. Who told you to call Naruto Sasuke's uke?"

Kiba: "I was ad-libbing!"
