First Gate [Video/Action]

[niceguypose]

[Video]

[The video feed suddenly kicks in with the sound of rushing winds and the sight of a blue sky. And soon, falling into view is bushy-browed teenager with a bowlcut, confusion and panic written all over his face.

Upon arrival, Rock Lee and his book open have begun freefalling through the sky to towards the village. Lee keeps his eyes focused on the open book and pushes himself through the air to get a closer look. Just enough to tell that it's some kind of communication device... and that it seems to be recording his face, and his movements.

Can they hear him, too? A million thoughts rush through his head. What happened? Where did everyone go? Why am I floating through the sky? Somebody help me down! But... if people could see him, he wouldn't want to look weak, would he? He's Rock Lee, after all. The Green Beast of Konoha. He can figure out a way out of this.

What would Gai Sensei do?

So he opts to force on a smile, one full of shining teeth, and he flashes a thumbs up towards the camera and shouts as loud as he can.]

DYNAMIC... ENTRY!

[Lee can find his way down. After all, his training weights are gone. He feels so light.]

[Action]

[If anyone misses out on the high-paced action, they can find Lee after he lands - either traveling to the item shop for his headband, weights and equipment or to the clothing shop for his valued green jumpsuit and vest. He'll also jog around to survey the village and some of the forest afterwards, eager to greet his new neighbors in the process.]

[He looks down and realizes he's all the closer.]

Please... please be careful! I do not wish for you to be hurt on accident, Miss!

[Video]

[jinchuuriki]

[Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.]

RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE! THIRD BUILDIN' ON THE RIGHT! I'M ON THE ROOF!

[Video]

[niceguypose]

[He looks in the direction that the book is pointing and spots the building. But before he maneuvers himself there...]

GREAT! AND, NARUTO-KUN... YOUR SHADOW CLONES ARE EXPENDABLE, CORRECT?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He grips his head in confusion.]

Another world? How could this... how could this be? I was fighting a war...

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Its complex. The simplest way of putting it is this. First, this world seems to be run by an organization called Malnosso. Second, they bring us here from OUR worlds and trap is here for god knows what reason. Third, time stops for you at home. Think of this as extra time.

[Again, slowly and simply]

Following me so far?

[video]

[niceguypose]

Is that so? I shall be certain to introduce you to Gai Sensei when I find him, so that you may judge for yourself! And I would like to meet your friends as well, so that I may see what I can learn from them!

[Action]

[niceguypose]

I believe so. I only wish I had my notepad on me. So... this is a trap. The Malnosso are the culprits. I have never heard of such foes. But we have extra time. [To prepare for the ultimate battle.]

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Something like that. We don't know where they are, but they do hide behind a barrier that makes us weaker. And as far as a notepad goes...

[A force field levitates his fallen journal to him]

There is a guide book in the journal. It'll explain the nitty-gritty details. But yes, it seem's we have a lot of extra time on our hands.

[To prepare, for...Clobbering Time.]

[Video]

[jinchuuriki]

[Naruto starts off a little quieter than he's been going this whole time, mostly trying to put his thoughts into words.]

I dunno if they'd go around sayin' that but, uh... YEAH! YOU WANT ME TO PULL SOME AWESOME STUFF WITH 'EM!?

[Video]

[niceguypose]

PRECISELY, NARUTO-KUN! THIS IS THE PLAN! I WANT YOU TO SEND AS MANY SHADOW CLONES IN MY DIRECTION AS YOU CAN - AS HIGH AS YOU CAN GET THEM, BUT SPREAD THEM OUT! THEY CAN HELP ME REACH YOUR LOCATION! IN THE MEANTIME... I SHALL OPEN A GATE!

[Video]

[jinchuuriki]

GOTCHA! LIKE A NET!

[He's definitely got this. One handseal later, and there's a ton of shadow clones on the roof. What was a normal roof was now covered in orange and black, and the shadow clones were tossing themselves up in the air in different directions.]

HERE WE GO! READY WHEN YOU ARE, BUSHY BROWS!

[Video]

[screw_fate]

Wings. They're on your back.

[Well, now you have 8|a]

And it does not appear to be so. He was trapped here himself until recently, with no greater control over this place or our captors than anyone else.

[Video -> Action]

[niceguypose]

ALRIGHT, NARUTO-KUN! HERE I COME!

[The gate is opened, and Lee can feel his strength and speed increasing. With this boost, he's able to push himself through the air in the direction of the building. He aims himself right at the first Naruto clone he sees and bounces off of it at full power, bouncing from it to the next-nearest Naruto clone. Using them as stepping stones and ways to wear down his momentum, Lee makes his way towards the roof, the book now closed and tucked into his pants.]

[lunas]

Are those the abilities of youth?! But.. I'm young too! [ she gasps. ] Does that mean I could do that too?

[Video]

[niceguypose]

[He takes a moment to feel around on his back. At the sore spot. And he gapes.]

Augh! How could this be...? And... he was trapped here, himself?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He grabs the journal, now remembering its existence.]

Ah! This book will have to do. Tell me, Susan-san. If you are not a ninja, how did you develop such remarkable abilities?

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

Maybe, but I would not advocate you to try it unless you are certain of success! For I have undergone much intense training to utilize my youth to its fullest.

[video]

[floralogy]

[Seek her out... What have you done, Ino?]

Just don't do any dynamic entrances and that's fine with me.

[Video]

[screw_fate]

[Surprise! Some new limbs for you to figure out there.]

He was, but recently was returned to our world.

I'll explain more once you're on the ground.

[Safely, he hopes, although not sure how to accomplish that. Lee's falling figure is getting larger...

Come on, genius. Think. Neji's moving on an intercept course, mind racing for ways to cushion Lee's landing.]

[Action]

[jinchuuriki]

[Horror spreads on Naruto's face as he watches Lee race towards each shadow clone in the air, each clone displaying that very same look of horror as he approaches. Maybe a little more horror, because despite their whole purpose for the day being a stepping stone, they're still only human and still feel pain for the moment before they explode into small clouds of smoke. It's making Naruto wince with each clone's demise.

Oh, and they're wailing in pain because Lee's steps are like kicks from an elephant.

Lee, please don't land on the real Naruto.] Geez... that was you're idea?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee soon reaches the roof and just narrowly soars over Naruto's head to land on his feet behind him. He raises his hands in victory and cheers.]

THANK YOU NARUTO-KUN! I MADE IT!

[He doesn't seem to have noticed the lack of rushing winds to shout over.]

[Action]

[jinchuuriki]

OI, I'M RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!

[Look what you did, Lee. You got him shouting all loudly again. But he's glad to see you, man. He really is.]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[Lee's so glad to see him too... that he misses the point and goes in for the hug.]

YOU ARE, NARUTO-KUN! YOU ARE! AND I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU ALIVE! I WAS SO WORRIED FOR YOU ALL WHEN I HEARD YOU WERE FIGHTING MADARA, BUT HERE YOU ARE, ALIVE AND WELL!

[Says the guy who just casually murdered his multiple clones.]

[ video ]

[lunas]

Wow, special training to use your youth..! What kind of training is this, could even someone like me do it?

[video]

[oftheland]

I would certainly appreciate that! Unfortunately, I don't think either of the people I mentioned are here at the moment, so there might be a bit of a wait on that.
