[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.]

Oh, uh... they are actually two different teams. Hinata-san, Kiba-kun and Shino-kun all form one team which is led by Kurenai-sensei. While... Naruto-kun and Sakura-san are on another team with Kakashi-sensei. [He bites his lip; he dreads having to describe Sasuke's story to anyone. Luckily... there is an easy solution at hand.]

I almost forgot Sai-kun! He is the teammate of Naruto-kun and Sakura-san, yes. [Knew you were good for something, Sai.]

That sounds most interesting! He must be a very wise old man. What is this "Avatar" you speak of?

Soooo you're the Konoha 12? [ This is simple enough math that she does not get a headache, although Lee can watch Ikki count them up on her fingers one by one. ]

Are all of them chunins now? What about jounins, are any of them jounins? Do you have to pass an even bigger test for that?

Nope! Grandpa's fourteen. He's from a long, long time ago for me! An' he was actually made a master at twelve 'cause he made up a form.

Ah, remember bending? The Avatar is the only person who can use all four forms. That's 'cause he's the link between the spirit world and our world, and he keeps balance in the world, and between the four nations. He's a really old spirit - the Avatar spirit is reborn one lifetime after another. Korra is grandpa's reincarnation, and grandpa is the reincarnation of Roku, who's also here!

...Yes! Yes we are!

We are all still of chunin rank. There is another test to become a jounin, but as I have not yet gotten that far, I do not know what it entails. [Disclaimer: All of this paragraph may be subject to jossing because everyone may actually be jounins already.]

Ah - a fourteen-year old grandpa? That is most interesting. [And frightening. Better stay away from that guy.] He sounds powerful for his age. Especially considering all of this stuff regarding the Avatar. There are... three who incarfnations here, you mean? [His head is reeling from all of this.]

[ time skips are confusing and jossfilled ]

Is Sai really forgettable?

Yep! He's really super powerful and fun and nice! He's mastered all four bending forms. [ She nods. ] They're from different times. Uncle Roku is from reallllllllllly far back, Grandpa is from something like seventy years ago, and Korra's from my time!

[He hazards a nervous joking laugh.] You could say that! If it's not him being forgotten, it is Shino-kun! [...And he really hopes neither of them show up soon and speak to Ikki, or his ass could be endangered.]

Truly powerful, I see. But it must be nice for you to have your grandfather in three different forms!

[ SHE WILL REMEMBER THIS REMARK IF THEY EVER DO, TRUST ] What're they both like that they're so forgettable?

Yep! They're all really fun!

Shino-kun is very quiet and usually keeps to himself, or to the bugs that live in his body. And Sai-kun is... well he is quite odd and reclusive himself, and he spends a lot of time drawing.

Bugs that live inside his body?

Yes! His entire clan has a special connection with certain types of insects, and they live together symbiotically!

[This is a thing to tell a little girl, right.]

Ummmmmm.

That's a bit weird! [ ALSO GROSS. ]

Many ninja practices may be considered unusual. But they provide a variety of unique battle advantages. I believe he would be offended by that remark.

...Oh, well I don't want to offend him! [ it's just that bugs are sort of really gross but no okay she can deal with this ] It's just not something I knew people did! But, um, I guess it's...nice that he gives them a home?

[ ew

D: ]

It is. Both Shino and the insects do respect each other very much, at the least.

Do they talk?

I do not know the specifics, but they do communicate in some ways. The insects can understand Shino-kun's orders, and they can relay reconnaissance information back to him.

...So he speaks bug!

Sure! That is one way of putting it. [If anything, Shino could clarify if he ever came to meet her.]

Do you speak anything like that?

I am afraid not! I have no intimate bonds with any manner of animal.

Mmmm, me either, if it comes to understandin' them talk!

It is well enough to bond with animals as we are. And you seem to have plenty of other amusing talents!

[ did he just call her airbending amusing ]

I've got some pretty good teachers!

I see! We all need wonderful teachers to help us obtain great abilities. But that does not make our own skills any less remarkable. I bet you are also a pretty great learner, Ikki-chan. [He flashes her a thumbs up and a shining smile.]

Well, I do have lots of teachers in lots of things!

Excellent! How many?
