A/N: Sorry, was kinda busy lately, but, this chapter should be pretty short and should end this one. I'm working on a ShikaIno fic, and about to finish my Konohamaru one too…look for em soon.

A Hot Blooded Conclusion

------------------------------------------

The rest of Lee's journey was pretty simple. He didn't have any clues to find Naruto or Shikamaru, but he wasn't necessarily concerned with them. He worried about them because of the condition of his two other comrades, Choji and Neji. He was worried that Naruto, Shikamaru and Kiba were critically wounded just the same. This was at least a B-rank mission. Then he remembered his promise to Sakura-san. He had to bring Sasuke back. He would risk his life. That was the Konoha ninja way after all.

He wasn't really sure what he could do. He wasn't really sure of Choji's ability as a ninja because he had never seen him fight. Even though he was from the Akimichi clan, the clan with the most brute force. And for Neji to be defeated so horrible. He was an elite genius and he was in such horrible condition. Near-death, Unconscous, and exhausted. He would make it though, he was sure of it. He was worried about Naruto the most. He was always ridiculed as the worst. His fight with Kiba was won out of sheer luck. He didn't see his fight with Neji. He assumed he won that fight out of sheer luck too. Lee had fought with Neji for years, and never beat him. Not once.

Lee continued his pace with a new sense of urgency. He finally arrived at a large clearing, looking out, he saw a large container and Naruto, actually, A LOT of Narutos. He wanted to observe for a short while and see how Naruto handled the situation.

He noticed a humongous cloud of smoke in the middle of the humongous cloud of Narutos. This enemy was good in order to be able to handle the clones in the middle so quickly and create such a cloud.

Lee quickly jumped down from the trees onto the ground. He was thinking about a battle strategy when he saw the container explode. Out jumped something that he wasn't really sure was human. It gave off such an abnormal chakra, an evil chakra, that it made Lee shiver and made the hairs on his neck stand straight up. It gave him the chills. He wasn't really sure if it was another enemy until he heard Naruto yelling..

"SASUKE!!" - Naruto

Unfortunately, Naruto had let his guard down, the enemy began making his move, throwing off an intent to kill that even Lee could sense it even though he was about 500 yards away. Out of pure reflex, Lee made his counter attack, focusing chakra to his legs to make him move as fast as he possible could.

Lee was running with everything he had until he got within range. He then firmly planted his right leg and leaped into the air. Sticking his leg out perpendicular to the ground and contorting his top half Lee inhaled and prepared to say his signature line..

"KONOHA SENPUU!!!"

A/N: The End, sorry just got tired of writing this fanfic, so the ending is kinda rushed and kinda lame….sorry look out for my other ones.
