[It's the holiday season. So Rock Lee manages to take a break from preparations he had been making throughout the month to address the journals. He looks excited and energetic as he delivers this message.]

Greetings... People of Luceti! I have come to address you regarding several matters. One of them? It is the day which is swiftly approaching...

Yes, the one which is known as "Christmas". I will be glad to edcuate others regarding it, as I only learned about this holiday here in Luceti! You see, it is based around the spirit of generosity and giving gifts to others. And the most important figure? A powerful figure known only as "Santa", who makes it his goal to deliver presents to everyone across many worlds! His talent seems to exceed that of possibly any other shinobi who is known of...

With that in mind, we must prepare ourselves. After all, last Christmas, I was able to see the man from a distance. The all-powerful Santa-sama was able to come even here to this enclosure to deliver presents. I do not doubt that he will appear again. I still would like to help him however way that I can. For instance, we must collect information on who is "naughty" or "nice" around the enclosure, so that Santa-sama knows who to pass judgement upon. Everyone should also compose letters and lists of what they wish for Santa-sama to bring them. I will do my best to collect these messages for his sake! Or, perhaps you can try to find one of his elves. I have not seem them within the enclosure yet this year! It is possible that they are only appearing when we are sleeping... But regardless, this is what to look out for:

[And he includes an image of this. As a horrific reminder to everyone who was around last Christmas. He then gets a bit more pensive.]

The last matters I have to speak of... They involve Rapunzel-san, who has been gone from this enclosure for nearly a month now. In her honor, I wish to enroll everyone in the village into the art club. Please join us! I can think of a number of tasks that could help to keep the club fun and engaging, so there's no reason not to join! Additionally, her absence has left poor Emil-kun without a sparring partner. Would anyone like to volunteer to battle him in her place?

[And as he brings his message to a close, he assumes the nice guy pose - giving a thumbs up and a shining smile to the video feed.]

Keep all that in mind. This has been Rock Lee. Please enjoy your springtime of youth!

[Filtered to Naruto]

Naruto-kun. I have a special task in mind for you.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Of course I believe in you wholeheartedly!

Allow me to explain it. Haven't you ever wished for a day to give presents to all of your loved ones and get some in return? Christmas is that day! And Santa-sama... he is the epitome of the holiday's spirit. None can give out as many gifts as him!

So it's a holiday where you get gifts? From this Santa guy? [Is that right?]

That is true! It also comes with the option of getting gifts from each other.

So, Naruto-kun, now that you know these things, what do you have in mind?

I still don't really get what I have to do with this Santa guy... I don't know him...

You don't. But, Naruto-kun, you are more like him than you realize. What I'm trying to say is...

Naruto-kun, with your spirit so bright, won't you act as Santa for just one night?

Oh. Oh! Now I get it!

You want me to give gifts to everyone instead of him?!

Yosh! Or rather, in addition to him! I do not want to offend Santa-sama by having you replace him... but all the same, we can give him a friendly rivalry! After all, I am sure that it will be a vital step on your path to Hokage.

Yoooosh! Alright, I'll do it! [Already he's all pumped and raring to go.

Just one small hitch though.]

...We need presents though.

Yes. We must collect everyone's wants and do everything in our power to get them in time for Christmas. However, I do have some back-up gifts that I have been preparing secretly since last Christmas!

I'm sure we can find cool stuff in Shikamaru's store that'll make good presents too! Or the clothes place!

Those are good ideas as well, Naruto-kun! With all the resources at our disposal, surely we can fashion enough youthful gifts!

Yeah!! Okay, let's do it!

[But wait. Wait!]

If I'm doing it like this Santa guy, do I have to look like him too?

Of course! Theycan't see you as an imposter. You must employ your artsbof disguise!

Well what does this guy look like?

Naruto-kun, allow me to narrate for you a manuscript of an encounter with this man. This should tell you what he looks like:

[He takes a moment to locate it, then cleats his throat and recites aloud.]

"He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf."

[He listens, looking entirely confused, but he waits until Lee is done. So that's Santa huh? He can give this a go.]

[A second later he weaves the seals for henge transformation, and after a puff of smoke Naruto is no longer there- instead there is this fat, bald man with a super long white beard and a pipe hanging out his mouth, wearing.. clothes of fur? It looks more like a damn furry suit.]

Like this?? Are you sure??

Ah... It certainly seems close! Beyond this, he is known to particularly wear red, including a certain kind of hat! I can show you more accounts later, to make sure we aren't missing anything! Of course, if all goes as plan, others will only get fleeting glimpses of you.

Red..huh?

[Another poof and the fur turns red... and there is a generic red hat too]

Yeah, of course! I'm not gonna get caught.

Excellent! You shall make an ideal Santa-sama yet, Naruto-kun! One day, you can truly be his equal.

Thanks Lee! That means a lot!

[Despite still not knowing who this other guy actually is, it does.]

I'm gonna go prepare then! You'll come find me later, yeah?

You are very welcome! Don't worry, I will find you then! And these preparations shall escalate! [Into pure madness.]

Okay then! See ya later Bushy brows!
