Lee, meanwhile, was sitting by a river, thinking.

I searched all the trees around but i didn't see anything. Is this supposed to be training for stamina?
Then he heard noises and turned around.

It was Naruto, grinning sleepishly.

"Hi... You didn't find anything either?" Lee asked.

Naruto's grin became even wider. "I found something but i'm not sure if it's even related to the training."

"Oh?" Lee became intrested. "Show me."

"I don't think you'd want to see it."

"C'mon."

"Don't blame me then."

Naruto held out the mirror and there was a flash of light...

Lee was gone.

Naruto sighed and patted the mirror lovingly. "Two down."

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

"I give up!" Tenten sighed as she stretched. "I didn't find anything!"

She flinked a knife or two at a nearby tree to vent her fustration, and sat down.

"And that unreasonable, unfeeling person isn't helping!" She said alound, knowing that Neji is near her.

Neji, on a nearby tree, gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound.

"Still not coming out are you? You're supposed to be finding a certain tree Gai-sensei asked us to, not trailing me!"
No response.

"Fine! You know what, Neji? You're unreasonable, and you suck."

Then she went off.

"Dammit! She knew!" Neji snarled, and punched a log into half.

"I'm unreasonable? You're calling me unreasonable just because i think that Sasuke should do his job? What is THIS?"

Neji let outhis steam for a couple of moments, then he yelled,

"YOU KNOW WHAT? I WOULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT YOU, FREAKING WOMAN!"

After thathe went off, too.

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

Sakura and Sasuke had reached the river, panting.

"Nothing." Sakura panted.

Sasuke splashed some of the river water on his face, and sat down.

"I think we should go back." Sasuke said, staring at the water. "Maybe Gai-sensei was tricking us or something..."

"Hinata?" Sakura turned around, noticing the shy girl emerge from the bushes.

"T-Thank goodness you're here, S-Sakura!" Hinata said, passing Sakura a scroll.

"You found this?" Sasuke asked.

Hinata just nodded.

Sakura and Sasuke looked at the scroll.

"A mirror?" Sasuke frowned.

Sakura frowned, too. "I don't get it."

"Is it some sort of clue?" Sasuke suggested.

Hinata sat down and splashed water on her face.

"Well, i think we should all go back to the resort and discuss it with the others." Sakura said. "Hinata?"

Hinata bit her bottom lip and nodded.

Sasuke stood up and patted Sakura on the head.

"Let's go then."

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

"What is this place?" Lee asked, looking around him.

Everywhere was black and white... And a lone figure stood in a corner.

"Naruto?" Lee said, shocked.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded glumly.

Lee looked at Naruto's fists. They were very red. "You've been punching the walls?"

Naruto grimanced.

"Wait. But there was another Naruto--'' Lee started.

"That guy is a bloody fake! I was looking around and i saw this mirror, and then this look-alike appeared out of nowhere and sucked me into this place!"

"I think we're inside the mirror he's holding, then." Lee said, staring at the floor.

"How is it possible?" Naruto retorted.

"Maybe its an illusion." Lee suggested.

"No. It's not." Naruto stated tonelessly.

"Then what are we supposed to do?"

"I don't know. We can't break out of this place. I tried very jitsu i know."

Lee gave one of the walls a strong kick.

"Ow." He groaned, rubbing his foot. "No go."

Naruto sighed, and sat down.

"The only idea I can think of-- We wait."
