[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.]

Yeah. A ton of times. I get home sometimes, do some stuff, and next thing I know I'm back here a week later.

[He's looking at Shikamaru, pretty sure of what he's doing.]

You truly are a noble fighter youth to endure such treatment, time and time again, Naruto-kun. Does this mean that we are allowed visits home when we have stayed here long enough?

It's not so structured. [Well, there was that one time...] Not usually.

It's more like you go home whenever the hell they feel like sendin' you home.

Such inconsistencies... so this is our fate, then? For us youths to be trapped in such a strange world for some unknown amount of time? [He shakes a head slightly as the concept tries to settle into his mind.] How many of our number are here?

[Aha, found the page.]

Several, mostly from Konoha. Your team as well, aside from Gai-sensei.

Yeah, there's a ton of us. Not too many much older than us, though.

Ah... so this has been primarily restricted to our generation, then? It is a pity, I am sure that Gai-Sensei could have found a solution to tis problem.

So far, it hasn't been something you can overcome with pure willpower.

[That said, he'll hand over the journal now, which is open to the guide.] There's a version of this that should be in your journal as well. You should read it over when you have a moment.

[He remembers Lee was always good about taking notes, even at the weirdest of times. He thinks he'd appreciate this.]

You can't even overcome it with givin' the barrier a good poundin' either. [Same thing, isn't it.]

[He takes in their input while looking over the guide intently.]

I shall study this guide with extreme diligence!

I know it's a lot to take in all at once.

Yeah! And make sure you read the part about your wings before takin' a really hot shower!

I shall undertake all precautions! Gai-Sensei raised me to take in as many things as any situation requires, so worry not for my sake!

I have to! You don't seem the type who'd suffer in silence.

[Naruto looks from Lee over to Shikamaru, eyebrow raised as he clearly didn't get what the latter meant.]

If my suffering is loud, then I must be failing as a ninja.

[...Lee were you not listening to yourself earlier. Just this look.]

[Yeah, even Naruto's with Shikamaru on this one. You're one loud dude, Lee.]

Uh... huh.

[It takes a moment for it to register... and than he rubs his hair nervously.]

Oh... but we all raised our voices slightly earlier. And that was the sound of youth and survival, not suffering.

[Pointing a finger.] I was just trying to be heard over you knuckleheads.

Yeah, what Shikamaru said--

Why are you draggin' me into that!?

Because in the heat of the moment, our voices acted as one!

Yup. Synchronized loudmouths. You could make a sport out of that.
