Chapter 4 Tools for a Taijutsu Specialist
Rock Lee followed his oddly acting sensei all the way to the training ground, to find Tenten standing in the clearing dawdling at the clear skies above.
She sighed when their footsteps were in ear shot, "Neh, I thought you forgot about me Gai-sensei."
"Tenten, you should know better than to lack faith in your honourable sensei!"
"Hai." She dragged, having to squint at his sparkling smile that he was giving her as if to make a statement.
"Where is Neji?"
Tenten turned to the questioning Lee, "Neji is undertaking a B rank mission Lee, he is not expected back for two weeks." Lee accepted her explanation with a mouthed 'oh', and turned back to Gai.
"So what is it you wish to show me Gai-sensei?"
Gai snickered suspiciously, "Lee, you are about to commence some ground breaking training that will bring you another magnificent talent that will not only help in your tests, but in your career as a Konoha ninja!"
Lee already was going ecstatic, gripping his hands tightly while smiling, "Really Gai-sensei!?" He beamed, only to receive Gai's low chuckle.
"Truly. This will be another secret weapon for you to use in combat, it is a tool that you will find many uses for. What makes it even better, is it suites your physical abilities near as perfect as a spandex."
"REALLY GAI-SENSEI?!"
"HAI!"
Tenten shook her head dully, as she watched the pair exchange shouts, "Just get on with it already sensei." She dragged out lowly, after the two spandex wearers had calmed.
"Lee, your new tool is..."
Lee tensed in his spot, his eyes fixed on Gai. Tenten was wondering where did the spot light come from, or even how it was possible that the bright sunny day had dimmed around Gai, as he reeled his hand behind his back. After several too long seconds of suspense, Gai suddenly whipped out in front of him an object, that bound together with a small chain.
"THIS!"
Lee's eyes already had fire burning in them, as he exploded, "YOSH!!!!!...what are they Gai-sensei?" Lee asked, his ecstatic yell dying down to neutral in question.
"This Lee, is an amazing tool that is used by those that specialise in the arts of Taijutsu. These are nunchaku's." Gai explained, while spinning them around his body at a speed that made it look like a brown propeller.
Lee's face held a large dish wide 'OH!' in awe. "A tool for Taijutsu specialists...so you use these too Gai-sensei?"
"Ah, I use these only when facing a powerful opponent, or when against overwhelming odds. With these in my hands, I have been able to come out of a grand battle uninjured, while singlehandedly facing over dozens of skilled opponents."
Lee's jaw impossibly grew wider, while staring at the finely crafted weapon, "Amazing...and you wish for me to undertake training in learning to use this powerful tool?"
Gai flicked them around again in a blur, the good foot length wooden end tracing around his body like a shield.
"What else would I want other than one hundred percent for my cherished pupil?
Lee's stunned figure disappeared in an instant as he began spinning around on the spot, "HAWWW!!! GAI-SENSEI I CANNOT EXPRESS MY BLAZING GRATITUDE IN WORDS!! HAWWW!"
"That's the spunk that should be in any fine chuunin of today! Now let-"
"I AM GOING TO UNDERTAKE TRAINING THAT IS LEARNT BY TAIJUTSU SPECIALISTS, HAWWW!"
"-Lee.-"
"THIS WILL BE OUTBURSTING WITH EPIC AURA'S OF SPRING-"
"-Lee-"
"THIS WILL BE SO COOL, YOUTH WILL NEVER GLOW THE SAME AGAI-"
Lee was harshly cut off when a solid stone like timber smacked down on his black shiny hair, introducing his face to the grass. In an unbelievably quick second, Lee instantly stood back up and saluted, "My apologies, Gai-sensei!"
Tenten just winced at seeing Lee get practically belted in the head by the nun-chuck's, but reached into her weapon pouch to present another set of similarly timber coloured nun-chucks.
"First Lee, you shall begin with understanding the stance necessary to wield the nunchaku, then-"
"Yosh!" Lee barked over Gai, grabbing the set, and spinning it around in a blur. The sound of another stone like collision was heard, as Lee's attempt was rewarded with his face tasting the solid timber of his own nun-chuck's.
"...He said learn the basics in how to use them first Lee..."
Ignoring Tenten's dry statement, Lee furiously rubbed his nose, "It appears these require great skill and talent to wield."
Gai scratched his head, but chuckled at his students high spirits, "You will first be trained in using the nunchaku's defensively, since this style of fighting is built around the defensive stance."
Lee nodded while jotting down notes in a notepad, "I understand, Gai-sensei."
"I will educate you in the methods of using them as I teach you the defensive purposes of the nunchaku's."
"Hai, let's begin immediately!"
It was a good thing Lee had amazing physical endurance, the reason being that familiar taste of timber was going to be discovered for a lot more than just once by the end of the day.
----------------------------------------------
One day later...
When the sun overhead shifted to the edge of his sight, Gai decided to call it a day.
"You have made excellent progress for your second day, Lee." Tenten first looked at Gai as if to confirm if he was serious, then back at Lee and winced. That left eye was arguably as black as his hair, and that wasn't the only large bruise that now decorated the spandex wearer's cheetah like spotted skin.
"Yowsh, Tomowrow I'wll pwrogess to the next phwase of my wouthful twraining!"
'What the hell?! has he broke his nose or jaw...or both?!' Tenten again winced, while cringing.
"Maybe you should stop by at the hospital first Lee."
"I'wm fwine, Twen Twen."
Lee chirped, although it sounded muffled...his nice guy pose also did not give any assurance, not when his eyes were twitching as if he was in great pain while trying to raise his beaten arm.
Lee then 'walked' off, with a satisfied smile across his otherwise fresh face. Leaving the training grounds, he began his long journey back to his apartment. The agape stares at him did not seem to affect him.
"Hey Lee-sa...LEE-SAN?!"
The sound of footsteps coming to his side made him turn to see pink hair.
"W-What happened?!"
"It's a lwong stwory, Sakwa-swan." Lee didn't even register how quick he was dragged to the Konoha hospital.
----------------------------------------------
After an hour, a door to a hospital room opened and Lee walked out, revealing only some light bruises that remained on his face.
Sakura soon followed with a scowl baring Tsunade, "I swear Lee, if you come back in a second time with that many injuries, I will be adding more injuries than removing them for such reckless training."
"Thank you for helping, Tsunade-sama-"
"Same goes for you." Tsunade interrupted her apprentice, and stormed off to leave the pair.
Lee blinked a few moments and turned, "I apologise Sakura-san, it appears I have brought you trouble."
Sakura sighed and waved a hand which got Lee's attention, "That is fine Lee-san, she was angry at me in the first place, you have no involvement in that."
Lee however lost interest in his apology, "Sakura-san...what happened to your arm?"
He shook his head in case he was imagining it, but true to his mind, Sakura's right arm was lightly bandaged from her hand, travelling all the way up to the sleeve of her white shirt under her vest.
Sakura was caught off guard, and rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly, "I umm...broke it."
"How?"
"...Same reason you ended up bruised." Both walked up the hospital doors, as Lee listened to her explanation.
"I see. So this explains how you were able to knock that thug from before across a good twenty feet, or how you were able to hold that carriage back...you use chakra to enhance your strength."
"Ah, that's correct Lee-san."
"However you have a limit of how much chakra you can build up?"
"Hai, the more chakra I use Lee-san, the harder it is to control. The problem is that if I lose control well...my high pressured build up of chakra practically goes off with a bang...and the damage instead reflects back on me."
"I see...your training sounds like it is a technique specialised for those in chakra control."
'Kind of how Gai-sensei says the nunchaku's are used by specialists in Taijutsu.'
"Odd way to look at it, but I guess so Lee-san. Moving on, that is why Tsunade-sama is angry at me. She always tells me not to push myself, and ends up healing my arms and sometimes my feet too."
"You ignore her instructions deliberately?"
"...Ah."
Lee smiled at the road ahead, "I understand your reasons why. No explanation is needed Sakura-san."
"Y-You do?"
"Hai! You wish to give it everything you have to exceed both Hokage-sama, and your own expectations...you are determined to get stronger every day, and you desire to end your exhausting training session with a sense of accomplishment."
Sakura was agape, "A-Ah...exactly Lee-san."
"That is an admirable display of your determination Sakura-san, while reckless, it means you are not only disciplining and strengthening yourself physically, but mentally as well by making every day a new goal."
Sakura sheepishly chuckled, "Thanks Lee-san...I never looked at it that way before."
"I must match your impressive display of willpower then. I will have mastered my training in four days time, or I will deliberately fail my next examined mission!"
Sakura's agape expression was not leaving her anytime soon, "L-Lee-san! t-that's absurd! Training is something that comes with time and practice."
Shaking her head she pressed on, knowing fully just how insanely honourable Lee was when making such a bold claim, "Your goal is to get promoted, you may not master whatever training you are doing in the time...then you want to fail?!."
"Exactly. This way Sakura-san, I am placing pressure on myself so that I am mentally and physically going to give it every bit of energy I have, similar to what you do...I will not meet failure, I will not accept failure."
Sakura just stared at the now briskly walking Lee, who she could tell was heading back to the training fields.
Replaying his words, only one familiarity struck her, "...He can be just like Naruto sometimes."
She whispered, and quickly caught up with a small smile on her face in memory. Entering the grounds, she sighed, "Don't you need Gai-sensei or Tenten-san?"
"Their presence is not required for this step Sakura-san." Lee explained, as they came to a small clearing, where a lone wooden dummy stood. Essentially the 'dummy', was a pole, attached to a circle with sicking out pegs implanted into the ground. The dummy stood 6 feet tall, covered in holes that looked like something slid in them. Lying on the grass nearby, were several smaller poles.
Lee picked up two and inserted them in different positions, while standing back and presenting his nun-chucks.
"I have the basic forms of the stance nailed down, but I am learning how to use it defensively. This training dummy is used to simulate an attacker." Lee then kicked one of the pegs sticking out of the circled base, causing the dummy to suddenly spin in a blur. Sakura watched as Lee flicked his nun-chucks in an instant, and blocked the pole from hitting his side, but quickly had to flick it around to block his other from the reversing hit.
After several successful blocks, the loud 'crack!' made Sakura wince when Lee had miscalculated, and hit his gut, but then had the moving faster dummy dong into the side of his head.
"This training instrument has separate sections, that randomly change speeds. This is so I am never blocking at a constant rhythm, and makes inserting an extra pole amazingly harder. Tenten is able to parry three constantly, and Gai-sensei is able to handle nine."
'Gai-sensei can handle NINE?! How fast would he have to move those nunchaku's to do that?!'
"When I can continue blocking two for over ten minutes, I place in another pole so I have to protect another part of my body. This way, I am learning to combine the different manoeuvres so I can protect myself from blows in succession, but at the same time I have to move faster to protect myself."
Sakura slowly nodded while looking at the falling sun, "You are going to stay out here the whole night aren't you?"
"Hai!"
'He is going to hurt himself...I know it.'
Shaking her head, she chuckled, "Lee-san, follow me for a minute."
Lee held question as he caught up to see her stop at the base of a nearby tree. his question was halted when he saw her fist connect against the base, causing the tree to cave in a good half a foot deep around her fist, with splinters shooting out from where her blow had landed.
"This...is my limit-"
Turning, she grinned, "-As long as you are out here...I will not rest until this thing is knocked over in a single blow."
She then smirked while holding up her hand to show three fingers, "I will have it done in three days."
"HAWWW! Is this a challenge Sakura-san?!"
"Hehe, it might be. As you said Lee-san, I am putting pressure on myself to ensure I give it all I have."
"Yosh, Yosh! I will match your claim then Sakura-san."
----------------------------------------------
Three days later...
Lee kicked the dummy to start it up, as he began parrying the incoming bombardments of blows thrown at him. Lee stuck to his claim, and despite his bumps and bruises, pushed himself until he was now demonstrating parrying five additional poles at once.
The teary eyed Gai watched in pride, "This is the kind of an example that makes a sensei feel self-righteous about their student. Lee...YOU MAKE ME PROUD TO BE YOUR SENSEI!"
"GAI-SENSE-" Lee's ecstatic shout was cut off by him loosing concentration to get smacked in the side and the face by two different poles.
Once he backed way, and didn't care his nose had a tickle of blood, he gave the nice guy pose, "Arigato, Gai-sensei!"
"You have now progressed to five, which is beyond what is required to learn the next stance."
That small ember flame already was alight in Lee's eyes again, "Yosh!"
"The next stance is further improvements upon learning to parry in close combat. Taijutsu specialists as you know, are close range fighters, so of course our weakness is against combatants that fight at a range. So...Tenten?"
Gai hinted, as he walked further out into the clearing with Tenten rolling out the scroll on her back.
"Whenever you're ready Gai-sensei."
"Tenten, one must always be ready at all times, you lack disipli-"
Not wanting to listen to the pointless scold, Tenten elegantly twirled the scroll around herself, "Sogu Tensakai!" Tenten shouted, as a swarm of edged ninja tool started phasing into existence, each shooting towards the nun-chuck wielding Gai.
Lee was already concerned, but his jaw fell open in shock when he saw the swarm of weapons 'cling' away, as Gai in a blur was flicking them away, and even sending most back towards Tenten. Tenten was prepared for such action though, and evaded. With the field now littered with dozens of embedded kunai and axes, Gai flicked his nun-chucks around again, and gripped both ends in one hand while mouthing out a satisfied 'hawww!'.
"Taking me by surprise during my scolding Tenten. How clever, but you underestimated my ability!"
'I was not trying to kill you...idiot.'
"Neh, if you want Gai-sensei, we can take that again, this time me using the jutsu at its proper speed and amount?" Tenten hinted, her hand reeling back to grab the large scroll behind her.
Gai gave her the thumbs up, "I admire your diligence Tenten, but you should always go all out on your opponents. As I was saying before, you lack discipline."
'...Oh just wait till the next demonstration, Gai-sensei. I will show you just how 'disciplined' I can be.'
Lee however, was jumping up and down, "That was glowing with radiance and unmatched talent Gai-sensei!"
Once Lee had calmed, and most of the scattered ninja tools had been recovered, Gai explained Lee his new training.
"You will start with only a few tools to parry, as this skill requires unreal coordination along with fine, and precise judgement of when to attempt to block, as you witnessed. Since this can be quite hazardous, and due to Hokage-sama's complaints-"
Gai froze for a moment and shivered in memory at the 'bad habits' he was influencing to not only Lee, but her own apprentice as well that Tsunade pointed out to him. The threat still haunted him from yesterday, and he did not want his 'spark of youth to be plucked by being bed ridden throughout the rest of that small lifetime left' as Tsunade sarcastically put it.
"-We are going to be using these blunt, and generally harmless, plastic tools instead." Gai said, pulling out a bag that made Tenten go blank from where he had hidden the good three foot tall bag on his person.
"When you have demonstrated to me that you are capable of defending yourself against these-"
Gai reached in and pulled out a green plastic kunai, "-We shall test you against the real thing. Tenten, it is your responsibility to aid Lee in this new task, make your ex sensei proud!"
Tenten's eye twitched as she took the bag, "Very well then sensei. Lee, let's get started."
----------------------------------------------
Two days later...
"Are you ready, Lee?" Tenten asked, holding a scroll in each hand.
Lee tightened his grip on the nun-chuck, "Hai! ikimashou, Tenten."
The silent Gai gulped, while shielding his eyes with his hands childishly, and quickly gave a thumb up, "I believe in you completely Lee, but this is so exciting my eyes cannot bare to witness such an epic demonstration."
Tenten cringed, but tried to ignore Gai and nod. One moment later, she jumped a good ten feet into the air, both of the long papers of the scrolls trailing behind her like party streamers. "Sogu Tensakai!"
Lee focused his eyes on the now swarm of white, high speed, real ninja weapons raining towards him. When he determined it was the time, he began in a blur, propelling the nun-chucks around him, perfectly 'clinging' the sharp tools away from piercing into his flesh.
One kunai made it through his guard, scratching a small line across his check, but he did not stop, for that would not be the only one to make it through if he did. Once the furious rain of steel had ended, Lee gripped each side of his nun-chuck and stretched it until the chain was groaning its protests, 'I did it!'
Gai sniffled, "Did my student survive?"
Tenten landed and lightly chuckled with a proud smile, "Open your eyes sensei, and look for yourself."
Hesitantly, he did as told, and burst into tears at the sight, "YOU ARE BURNING WITH THE FLAME OF YOUTH LEE!"
Said spandex wearer lowered his nun-chucks and half bowed, "I am eager to continue, Gai-sensei."
Gai rubbed his teary eyes and gave a smug chuckle, "That keen are we Lee? as you wish then."
Gai pulled out his own nun-chucks, "You will now learn about the offensive stance."
Gai approached the dummy, and inserted two poles, "You must understand that nunchaku's while solid, are not to be treated as a club, but as an agile, flexible, but solid bashing weapon.-"
Gai kicked the circle to start up the dummy spinning, as he continued his explanation while blocking the blows, "It is about getting through an opening in your opponents defence, and then-"
On the next parry, Gai whipped the dummies side with the nun-chuck, causing it to wobble, but continue its other side attack, which Gai blocked, "Lashing out to land a few hits, then retreating back into the defensive stance. In doing so, you are weakening your opponent slowly with solid blows at the opportune moment."
Lee nodded his head, while jotting down notes on his notepad he had got from his weapon pouch, "Oh, I see." He mumbled, while looking over his notes.
"What if I wish to be on the offensive instead Gai-sensei?"
"The same rules still apply then Lee, since you are engaging an enemy in taijutsu, you must be ready to defend for a counter attack."
"Oh...." Lee jotted down more notes and nodded, "I understand. So I will continue my training on the dummy again?"
"Precisely Lee. Drop the amount of poles to two below your current limit, and work your way up again."
"Hai!"
----------------------------------------------
One day later...
As if by routine, Lee stopped by the Konoha hospital after his training day, as he was semi forced to be a certain medic nin in training.
"Well, today has been one of your better days from training Lee-san." Sakura stated, giving him the thumbs up to only minor bruises.
"Ah, my training in using the nunchaku's is mostly complete Sakura-san, now all that is left is building upon the basics from experience, as Gai-sensei said."
"I see."
"How are your arms Sakura-san?"
She shrugged, while eying her now both lightly bandaged arms, "They hurt a little, but Tsunade-sama is brilliant at what she does."
"Hmmph, flattery won't save you from your punishment." Both turned to the door to see a scowl wearing Tsunade.
Sakura chuckled nervously, "D-Do you need my help with something Tsunade-sama?"
Walking in, Tsunade slid the door shut behind her, "Why yes. You both are being assigned a mission, and this does count to Lee's assessment."
Sakura blinked in surprise, but nodded, "What do we need to do Tsunade-sama?"
"You both will be travelling up north to a small country village known as Hachidori mura. The village has filed a mission for a genin and jounin squad, but I am more than certain the two of you can handle this. The mayor of the town is your client. Their dilemma, is that different members amongst the town have recently been victim to theft. By the sounds of it, it is a typical gang of bandits. We do not know where they are located, but sightings have been confirmed by the villagers of a camp nearby. Your mission is to return the stolen items back to their owners, and ensure this group is dealt with."
Sakura nodded, but held concern to the end note, "What exactly are we to do with them Tsunade-sama?"
"That is a decision I will leave up to you to decide. "
"But-"
"I am not ordering you to kill them if that is what you are concerned about. There is a prison in the fire country they can be sentenced in if apprehended. However, that does not mean you should not use lethal force if you are at risk of injury or worse."
Tsunade explained, while handing her apprentice the mission scroll and turning to leave, "I will leave the rest up to you then."
With the hokage's leave, Lee turned to Sakura, "What are your orders then Sakura-san?"
Her smirk made him blink in question, "If I recall right Lee-san, Tsunade-sama never said I was in charge of this mission."
"..."
"I am saying Lee-san, that you are going to be in charge of this one."
Lee's blank expression morphed to puzzlement, "But you are the chuunin, I am just a geni-"
"Think of it as an opportunity Lee-san...an opportunity to score big points."
"...I don't understand."
"A very important quality of a chuunin is being able to demonstrate that you can show leadership within a group. It is something that an examiner marks very highly in those that show such skills. Do you not recall that Shikamaru was the only one of us that got promoted that time?"
"But Shikamaru-kun forfeited his match?"
"He may have, but he had won the battle the moment he captured Temari-san in his shadow. He was given a promotion because he demonstrated his great tactful mind to outwit his opponent. But he also scored points for showing he knew when he was at his limit, knowing that if he continued, he would have lost due to him having no chakra remaining...I know this because Shikamaru is used as an example in the examiner books."
Lee stared in shock, but then nodded, "That makes sense Sakura-san."
She grinned while raising the mission scroll to him, "Now I want you to show me you have such ability. I will listen to your every instruction, to me, we are both chuunin's here. I am not going to pull rank on you, but if need be, I will address you as an equal if I feel you are straying off. If you wish to ask me for approval, by all means go ahead."
Lee looked down at the offered scroll and hesitated, "This sounds like a great responsibility you are giving me."
"Of course it is Lee-san, but do not threat. This is only a C rank mission, and if you really wish for me to take charge, just say so. I am giving you this opportunity, it is your choice to take it."
Lee looked down at the small green scroll, and took the other end, as Sakura let go. It was amazing how heavy that scroll felt in his own hand, whether it being nerves or something else was beyond him.
"So what are your instructions then Lee-san?"
Lee took a moment to think of his next action and shot a questioning look which made her grin, "Well?"
Recalling Tsunade's briefing, Lee nodded and stepped up for his new responsibility, "Are you skilled in tracking Sakura-san?"
"I am afraid not Lee-san."
"Neither am I. We could try searching for these bandits ourselves, but I believe that it won't be as trivial as that."
Sakura's nodding head to his logic brought an odd sense of comfort for him to continue, "Therefore, I feel we should discuss with hokage-sama to seek the aid of a shinobi that has the talent we require."
"Hai, very good Lee-san. Lead the way." Both teens left the hospital room, and ventured down to the lobby, to see Tsunade was just exiting the building.
On their approach, the Godaime turned to their presence, "Yes?"
Lee waited expectantly, until the friendly nudge from his side reminded him that this was his mission, and he stepped forward at attention, "Hokage-sama, I feel that this mission requires the assistance of a shinobi that is skilled in the art of tracking."
"Oh?"
"If we were permitted a tracker, we would be able to locate the bandit outpost more efficiently."
Tsunade shrugged in exaggeration, "Well, I can't argue with logic like that. If you find one of such ability free, consider them a part of your mission then."
"You have my gratitude Hokage-sama."
Lee then left through the doors, not noticing the wink and approving pat on the shoulder given by Tsunade to her apprentice, as the pair left for the streets to find their third member.
----------------------------------------------
So far their search had shown no progress. Neji was out on his mission, as well as team 8...who was left?
"Sakura-san...I cannot think of anybody now."
"I know one more person."
"Who?"
"Kakashi-sensei."
Sakura now lead the way to one of the training grounds, although Lee held a puzzling expression. On the approach of some grand monument, there stood the lone jounin.
When they were not far from Kakashi, he spoke, "Sakura, Lee-kun, what brings you over here?"
Lee this time didn't need Sakura's nudge, "Kakashi-sensei, we require your skills and talents in tracking to aid us in a mission."
"That sounds great-"
Lee and Sakura were growing a grin, "...if I wasn't about to leave for an S ranked mission."
Both teens shoulders slumped, "I see, no matter, my apologies for disturbing you Kakashi-sense-"
"Now I didn't say I couldn't help." Kakashi stated, turning around to give an eye smile.
"I can give you a tracker to help you out with your mission if you wish."
"R-Really?" Kakashi nodded to the puzzled Lee, as he bit his thumb.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" On slamming the ground, a cloud of smoke covered Kakashi, which soon cleared to reveal a small pug nin dog.
"Pakkun here is my best tracker, he can help you with your mission."
Lee looked at the little dog in awe, but nodded, "You have my thanks, Kakashi-sensei."
"That is more than alright Lee-kun, best of luck to the both of you."
With that, Kakashi shunshined away, leaving only a trail of leaves behind where he once stood.
"Yosh! Let's begin our journey then Sakura-san."
"Aren't you forgetting something Lee-san?"
Lee stopped in his walking, and turned to see a knowing grin on Sakura's face, "I don't know about you Lee-san, but other than my weapon pouch, I don't have any other supplies with me."
Mentally slapping himself, he nodded, "My mistake, we will go and pack first, then afterwards, meet at the front gate within an hour's time?"
"Ah, much better Lee-san."
"I hope you two won't forget to pack something for me."
Sakura's eye twitched while looking at that intimidating dog, "Of course not, Pakkun-san."
Lee however was in awe, "Kakashi-sensei can summon nin dogs that can speak?! THAT'S SO...strange."
"Hmmph, I take offense to that, considering your sensei summons a talking red tortoise."
AN: Now I am going to make the same claim I have made in my other fic. If there are 15 reviews/feedback, the next update will be a double release.
