Last time

Guy: yes lee! Go and find your new rival, your very own Kakashi!! Take them off!

Lee:yosh sensei!!

*Lee said taking him weights off and running even faster, becoming a blur for the civilians, lee was being powered by excitement and the power of YOUTH!! And no I don't regret saying it like that*

Now

With Naruto in the forest of death

*We see him with bloody knuckles as he was punching a tree, his hands were wrapped up with bandages to offer some small for of protection, but naruto long since passed that bridge, there was a small pool of blood under him, made from the drops that would fall from the bandaged hands*

Naruto:chuugi, duty and loyalty

*Naruto said as he kept punching the trees, his face showing no emotions on his face, he was locked into a sort of meditating state  he kept punching as he finished reciting the 7 virtues of bushido*

Naruto:warriors are responsible for everything that they have done and everything that they have said, and all of the consequences that follow. They are immensely loyal to all of those in their care.

*Naruto dropped his hands and started to sidekick the tree, causing the bark to break and splinter off into the wind.*

Naruto: Jin, compassion

*Naruto could feel the sharp jolts of pain his already tired from running legs was sending him but he ignored them, he kept kicking*

Naruto:through intense training and hard work the true warrior becomes quick and strong. They are not as most people. They develop a power that must be used for good. They have compassion, they help there fellow man at every opportunity

*Naruto gave a loud grunt and gave it his all at the final kick, he managed to break the tree even more, his foot almost halfway through the tree. He freed his feet and started getting undress, once as naked as the day he was born he grabbed his blade and looked up and the giant snake red eyes looking down at him*

Naruto:I'll give you a chance to live, slither away to find your next meal, or die by my blade

*Naruto said but the snake didn't listened, it hissed and triked against Naruto, the gigantic animal ate Naruto whole. It started to hiss and move in erratic ways in pain, a sword pierced from inside the skin and opened the snake, Naruto walked out of it all slimy and bloody*

Naruto:shame you didn't listen...

Hours later

*Naruto's body was screaming, his muscles felt as if they were on fire, every step he took was absolute murder, his legs felt like jelly, and he loved it. After taking a quick shower I'm a private lake he found, we see Naruto walking inside a library*

Tomoko:ah, N welcome again.

*Naruto looked and smile at the old librarian Tomoko Iseri, a older man less then 5 foot, bald at the top of the head and missing a tooth*

Naruto:hello iseri San, how are you today in health sir?

Tomoko:I'm over 90 years old so let me tell you, of the eyes regular, the right ear regular, the knees regular and the heart regular

*Tomoko said, Naruto knew that meant the old man couldn't hear out of the left ear, his eyes were blurry without glasses, his knees were shaking, and the heart barely pumping*

Naruto:and the 3rd leg?

Tomoko:heheheh

Naruto:hehehehehehe

*Both Naruto and Tomoko started to chuckle*

Tomoko:i wish I could say regular, all I got left are 2 dust balls. Oh you should've seen me in my prime. Tall, handsome, a real lady killer

*Tomoko started talking of his glory days, Naruto sat down next to him and listen with a smile, it's become routine for him to just listen the old man speak for an hour, since Tomoko didn't have anybody to talk to. Naruto decided to be that person since he knows what it's like to be surrounded by people, but having nobody to talk to*

Flashback

In the orphanage

*We see little Naruto by himself, all the other kids were playing with each other, but Naruto was alone on a swing*

(Like that but smaller)

*Naruto was a shy boy, being the only boy not born in the elemental nation made it so people wouldn't want to hang out with him. At least that's what younger him originally thought, in reality Naruto just never made an effort to get to know people, he was becoming the definition of a 'nice guy' in the most toxic way possible. Naruto was swinging away in his own self-pity when someone pushed him out of the swing set*

Naruto:hey!

Mugen:beat it, you've been here for an hour. It's my turn to use it

*Mugen said blowing Naruto a raspberry, frustrated Naruto threw dirt at him, Mugen screamed as it got in his eyes and Naruto huffed sitting back down*

Naruto:it's my swing set!

*Mugen growled he got up and pushed Naruto again, this started a fight where both of them ended up with scratched and small bruises*

Scene change

*We see the both of them waiting outside miss Takeda's room. Naruto was sniffling as a bit of blood was coming out his scratches, he heard a crinkling sound and looked at Mugen who was opening some candy*

Naruto:your not supposed to have. Miss Takeda said we only get candy after dinner

Mugen:well i don't see miss Takeda to you?

*Mugen asked with a shrug, he moved the bag to Naruto and shook it a little, signifying for Naruto to take a piece, reluctantly Naruto did and ate it. Mugen ate his piece with a small smirk*

Mugen:now your just as bad as me, I'm mugen by the way

Naruto:.... Naruto

*Mugen and Naruto started talking to each other, while they waited for there punishment. It was the start of Naruto's first ever friendship*

Back to the present

Tomoko:and that my boy, is how I was able to share a night with the wife of the daimyo

Naruto:you must've been very lucky to come out of that alive

*Naruto said with soft laughter, Tomoko laughed loudly, since it was his library what are they gonna do, kick him out? He glanced at the clocked and back at Naruto*

Tomoko:alright boy, I've talked your ear off long enough. Off with you, I have work to do

*Naruto nodded and left as Tomoko went back to work with a much better mood. Just happy that someone gave him the time of day*

With Naruto

*Naruto sat down on the same table he sat last time, in the corner away from everybody, he bites down on his thumb and throws the blood in the air*

Naruto:summoning Jutsu

*Naruto said softly as the blood became butterflies*

Butterflies:number 5, how can we assist you today?

Naruto: collect the books that I had the other day, in one pile put the books I've already read, in another the books I've yet to have read of the history of this village

*The butterflies flew away to get what Naruto asked for, Naruto leaned back on his chair and just took a breath, letting his his burning body and mind relax for the 5 minutes he'll have to wait for his butterflies to return*

Meanwhile with Sakura

*We see her talking with Ino, when she felt a tingle of fear run up her spine, and a gust of wind blow past them*

Ino: SLOW DOWN LEE!! you almost made us fall!

Lee:I can't slow down! My newest rival is close I can feel it!!

*Lee yelled as he kept running as he kept searching for this illusive person, ino was confused until she saw Sakura flinch. Ino looked at her with a raised eyebrow*

Ino:something you want to tell me Sakura?

Sakura:I uh...got a new roommate?

*Sakura said with an awkward chuckle, ino crossed her arms and waited for Sakura to continue. Sakura sighed*

Sakura: He's like lee and guy, he believe in the power of youth and training every day

Ino:no....no your lying!

*Ino screamed terrified of a third power of youth believer. Sakura grew a depressed aura as she kept smiling*

Sakura:I'm telling the truth. But we don't have long, quick warn everyone. We can't let them meet, I'll distract lee

Ino:you got it!

*Ino said as fast as if she was on a mission for the Hokage, Sakura sighed and walked up to Lee who was busy looking at what direction to go next. That's when he froze, he felt a tingle grow up his spine as he heard the most beautiful words someone like him could hear*

Sakura:hey lee.....want to train?

Nighttime

*Both Sakura and Hinata made it back home, Hinata looked at Sakura with a raised eyebrow*

Hinata:the H-E- Double hockey stick happened to you?

Sakura:I had to train with Lee....

*Hinata winced at that, needing no more explanation she opened the door. And was greeted by the smell and sound of dinner being cooked up*

Naruto:ah Sakura, Hinata welcome back, food will be ready in a moment

Hinata; thank you N Kun, but what are you cooking? I thought we didn't have enough for meats

*Naruto looked down at the snake meat he was cooking up, he shrugged*

Naruto:I hunted it, this predator fell for my trapped, my blood was simply too enticing to resist, and...well it's the circle of life and we have enough meat to last us while.

Hinata:heh, unless we invite choji over. I bet he could finish it in a single sitting

*Hinata whispered to Sakura who snorted and nodded in agreement. They walked to the table and sat down, hinata looked at N and a idea popped up*

Hinata:hey that's actually not a bad idea I had, N how would you like to have a bbq? We can use it as a way for you to meet our friends

Naruto:very well. Just make sure that dog friend of your minds his manners

*Hinata nodded as they started talking about what to cook for it, Sakura wasn't really listening, she was tired, Sakura's body was screaming, her muscles felt as if they were on fire, every step she had to take was absolute murder, her legs felt like jelly, and she hated it.*
