Naruto Primer: Lil' Lee
New Neighborhood
Lee's always been high on life and thankfully hasn't overdosed yet. Even when he was but a child of six years, he was easily excitable and unusually chipper. Is it because he was a jerk in the times before he was born concerning an event with eyebrows? You know what's coming, don't you? That's right. Another trip into the past with the Magic Crystal Ball of the Past.
You may not know this, but at the tender age of six, Rock Lee moved into a new neighborhood. He used to live in a very different world but then his parents won the lottery and found the most peaceful place in the village to raise their precious son.
So, while the parents were out…shopping…Lee was home alone. Yes, at age six. His parents had THAT MUCH confidence in the new neighborhood that they left him home alone after first moving in. But this is not a story questioning the morals of Lee's parents so let's leave them alone!!
Lee was chillin' when all of a sudden, the doorbell rang.
He ran over and opened the door without even bothering to look who it was or ask who it was or anything. He had a lot of confidence in the new neighborhood too.
Standing there were two boys that looked similar, except one was older. "Welcome to the neighborhood from the Uchihas!" said the smaller one as he handed Lee a big bowl of Jell-O. "I'm Sasuke!"
"I'm Lee!" said Lee.
"Hi Lee!" said Sasuke. "This is my older brother, Itachi! He's a chuunin and he's eleven!"
"Really?!" Lee said. "I want to be a chuunin someday! And be a jounin even more!!"
"Me too!!" Sasuke said. "Ninjas get to do cool missions!"
"Yeah, like beat people up and throw things!" Lee said.
"And deliver ice cream!" Sasuke added.
"We need the bowl back when you're done." Said Itachi.
"I hope you like orange Jell-O." said Sasuke. "I put a scoop of ice cream on the Jell-O but Itachi made me take it off because he said I was obsessed."
"I love orange Jell-O!" said Lee. "I wish you kept the ice cream on it!"
"Let's just go now." Said Itachi.
"Okay!" said Sasuke. "Bye Lee!"
"Bye Sasuke and Itachi!" said Lee as he shut the door and ran over into the kitchen. He placed the big bowl on the table and looked inside it. "Hurray! Jell-O!" Then he touched it and watched it jiggle. Right before he was about to start digging in with a giant spoon, the doorbell rang again.
He ran over to the door and flung it open. Standing there were three small children each holding a different item. First, a girl with blond hair was holding a huge bouquet of flowers. The boy in the middle who was larger than the rest had a basket filled with food and other goodies. The one on the other side who looked bored with the fact that he had to be there was only holding an envelope.
"Welcome to the neighborhood from the Yamanakas!" said the girl. "My name is Ino and here are some flowers from our shop to decorate your lovely home!"
"Thanks, Ino!!" said Lee as he took the flowers.
"And these are from the Akimichis!" said the boy in the middle. "I'm Chouji. Here are some cakes that we made just for you!"
"I love cake, Chouji!" said Lee, taking the basket. "Thanks!"
"And here's a card." Said the last boy. "It's from my mom but I'm supposed to say it's from all us Naras. I'm Shikamaru."
"Oh!" said Lee. "That's nice. Thanks so much!"
"You weren't supposed to say that, Shikamaru!" said Ino.
"Whatever." Said Shikamaru with a shrug. "This is way too troublesome anyway! I was right in the middle of doing something!"
"Well, enjoy the food!" said Chouji.
"I will!" said Lee. "Thanks so much for coming over to welcome me to the neighborhood! My parents will be so happy, yet so sad that they missed all this!"
"Bye!" said Ino as the three of them ran off. Lee took all the new stuff into the kitchen. He opened up the card and found that it said, 'Welcome to the neighborhood!' and then had the signatures of all the Naras inside. He was just about to explore the basket from the Akimichis when the doorbell rang again.
"Wow!" said Lee excitedly as he went to the door and opened it to be faced with a little girl with white eyes and someone who could ONLY be her father who was definitely evil. "Hi!" he said, not sensing the evil.
"I am Hiashi from the Hyuuga clan." Said the evil guy. "And this is my daughter, Hinata. Are either of your parents at home?"
"No, just me!" said Lee.
"Well, we are here to welcome you to the neighborhood." Said Hiashi. "Please, make sure to tell your parents that the Hyuugas accept your presence in the neighborhood and hope that they don't plan on doing anything out of line."
"I don't think they're planning anything like that!" said Lee obliviously.
"Come Hinata, we're through here." Said Hiashi.
"Bye." Said Hinata.
"BYE!!" said Lee as Hinata and Hiashi left. Then he shut the door. "Wow! I feel so welcomed in this neighborhood!"
He had barely walked two steps when the doorbell rang again.
He turned around and opened the door to see another small child who was obviously sent by his parents to welcome them to the neighborhood. "Welcome!" he said. "I'm Kiba from the Inuzuka clan! We made you this fruitcake!"
"I've never had fruitcake before!!" said Lee.
"Neither have I!!" said Kiba.
"I didn't know people ate them, I thought they were just for decoration!" Lee confessed.
"ME TOO!!" Kiba exclaimed.
"WOW!!" Lee exclaimed. "I'm going to go and put this on my kitchen table!"
"And I'm going to go home now!!" Kiba said.
"Good!" said Lee. "Have fun!!"
"I will!" said Kiba. "Maybe we can play a game someday!!"
"I love games!!" said Lee.
"I DO TOO!!" Kiba yelled.
"Well, bye!" said Lee.
"Bye!"
Kiba then left, and Lee shut the door.
As he brought the fruitcake over to the table and set it down, he thought about how lucky he was to be in a neighborhood with so many families with small children around his age. He was already liking this neighborhood a lot better than his old one!
