long awaited chapter, read on

Lee was feeling great, he was on his way to do more training after his checkup with Sakura. As he was walking to the training area, he was contemplating which exercise should he do while getting there. Lee decided on one-handed handstand hops when he saw Naruto approaching him. They both waved at each other as Lee was the first to say "hey".

"Hey, what's up?" Naruto said with his usual disposition.

"I'm just about to begin my training for the afternoon. The springtime of my youth continues as I've just spent some time with Sakura!" Lee said passionately with his fist to his chest and his gaze is directed to the sky.
Naruto was puzzled, "eh?"

"I just had a checkup with Sakura…achoo!" Lee sneezed, it was just one of those times when he needed to sneeze.

Being Naruto, he didn't inquire about a sneeze. "I see, where are going to train?"

"I'm meeting Neji. As my rival, he's the perfect person to train with."

"That's a great way to train" Naruto was excited for Lee.

"I better continue on my way, I'll see you later" Lee got onto his hands and hopped in the direction of the training area. Naruto waved and left to wherever he was walking to.

With the amount of training Lee already does, it didn't take him long to reach his destination with barely breaking a sweat. Neji had already been there waiting for him. He sat meditating in the middle of the area. They discussed which areas to work on. After a few hours of training, they decided to call it quits. It was the last attack against Neji that caused him to use his kaiten. The rotating chakra caused the dirt to lingering the air. It was a bit much for Lee, so he sneezed rather loudly. Neji wasn't impressed with what just happened

It was a normal morning when Lee forced Tenten to go for an early jog. Tenten doesn't mind the jogging, it's the extra conditions Lee adds and the distance. If she wanted to be a lengendary kunoichi, she knows she has to train hard. Having been on the same team with Gai and Lee, she's adapted to rigorous training. This exercise occurred before Lee had his checkup. After the jog, she decided to count her ninja tools and polish them. She also took stock of her ninja scrolls. Tenten took her time, she was in no particular to do anything. Her thoughts were focused on how calm and relaxed she felt. Then she came up with an excellent idea, "I know! we need a girls night out". She spends a lot of Team Gai, meaning guys, and less time with girls because they have missions and are on other teams. Really…there was only three girls that she was close to, she thought a dinner would be a good time to catch up. Just like that, she was off to the hospital to see Sakura.

Tenten arrived at the hospital with a grin and an aura filled with excitement. She inquired to the whereabouts of Sakura from the hospital staff. After a lone game of seek the med-nin, Tenten found the one she was looking for. She went over her idea, to which Sakura agreed, and then was off once again. Her destination was now the Yamanaka flower shop.

From the start of the day, Naruto hasn't done too much. He was enjoying the break from a string of missions he's been on. He took in the beautiful sights of Konoka before bumping into Lee. After talking with Lee, he thought training would be good. Nowadays, he can't really train by himself. Well…that isn't true, he can train by himself. He just wants Jiraiya to train him. With a goal in mind he continues walking through the streets focused on looking for a tall man with white, long hair wearing red robes. At one of the restaurants, he finds Jiraiya sitting and enjoying a meal. "Hey! Ero-sennin!" Naruto said with no hesitation.

Jiraiya reply with his usual grin, "Yo, Naruto".

Naruto walked over to the table but didn't bother to sit down because Jiraiya ate his late bite of food. "You said you were going to help me train" Naruto had a serious face to guilt Jiraiya into training him.

Jiraiya paid for his meal and lead the way out of the restaurant and said "don't worry, we'll get to your training".

Immediately, Naruto asked "when?" Jiraiya turned to him and smiled then poof….the toad sage was gone. "Ero-sennin?" Naruto wasn't happy with what just happened. "He's probably doing something perverted like spying on girls". Before searching for the perverted sage, he thought ramen would be a good idea. "Ramen will do me some good!" with his big 'ramen' smile, he walked to Ichiraku Ramen.
