The Uchiha Estate…
Itachi made certain that there were plenty of snacks for team Seven and Lee when they arrived at his home.
"Welcome everyone, hello Sasuke, Naru, I am blessed to have you in our home. Please some of the confections and drinks before you begin. I ask that you two try to not harm each other so severely or I would have to get involved. If you need anything, please call me and I will be right here. I'll be in the kitchen cleaning." Itachi greeted as he kissed the hand of his future wife while Sasuke gave his hmphed noise, seeing that Lee was marveling at one of Naru's fiancé, hoping to be one of them, if she chooses him.
It was true that Naru must choose at least three husbands before turning eighteen as it spread like fire after graduating. Lee felt more honored to even be in the presence of someone so strong to face such great injustice.
"It is an honor to meet one of the grooms of the fair Naru and I humbly welcome to the challenge to be the one who cherishes her the most. I will hopefully be blessed with the title of husband if I prove myself."
Itachi smiled as it seemed another has become smitten by his beloved.
"I welcome you to court my beloved. I can see you would treat her properly."
Lee glowed with delight as Sasuke looked more agitated.
They would soon leave for the dojo as the elder Uchiha was returning to the kitchen, hopefully, they won't be completely out of control.
In the Dojo…
Naru wanted to join in the fight, but Rock Lee would never dare hurt such a delegate flower and pinched her nape before she could land a punch, causing her to be knocked out.
Now, it was just Sasuke and Lee. Sasuke attempted to use his Sharingan against the shinobi but was proven useless against Lee's Taijutsu. Their fight became intense until Lee came close to dishonoring himself by using a certain move.
Then a talking tortoise came and with that Guy.
This leads to a weird emotional moment and Itachi coming in.
"Hello, Guy. Nice seeing you again. Come here to collect Lee?"
"That indeed, one of my youthful rivals!"
"It seemed that both boys need a lesson in proper sparing. Please give Kakashi my best regards." Itachi smiled.
"Yes, Itachi, and we can start with a hundred-yard sprint!"
"Yes sensei!" Lee cheered as he saw it as a way to improve himself.
Itachi then smiled as the two began their jog, Naru pointing out that Lee didn't use talent but built his body to fight, through practice and hard work.
"You know, Kakashi and Guy have been keeping score on who is victorious, but they seemed to have never defeated me yet. Oh well, still plenty of time." Itachi hummed then coughed up a bit, "Now, Sasuke about your punishment…"
