[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!

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

The hell kind of weird-ass holiday is that?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the "spirit of generosity" or whatever, but this Santa guy sounds like he has way too much time on his hands.

[He would argue that gods don't exist, but then he remembers Silver talking about that wolf god...so the idea of a benevolent god who's over-invested in the subjective moral behavior of his world's people isn't any more ridiculous, really.]

Even if he's a god, there's no way he could pay attention to what every single person is doing at all times, or keep track of what everyone wants. There are way too many people in the world.

And where does he get all these presents from, anyway?

That's freakin' creepy. And still improbable.

What are "elves"?

So it sounds like these elves do all the real work, and Santa just passes it off as his own generosity.

[As far as he's concerned, the fact that this guy is getting a little defensive just proves to Jean that he's right.]

..."Shinobi"?

The art of secrecy and deception, huh... You know, if you wanted to make Santa sound like a guy who can be trusted, you're not really helping your case.

He probably has an ulterior motive, if he's going to such lengths to make everyone think he's so damn generous.

Yeah, and then you worship the ground he walks on. Selfless my ass. Just face it, you've been duped.

Look, there's a difference between trusting your friend, who you've known for years, and trusting some guy who stalks you and tries to win you over with presents.

You can believe whatever you want, but I'm not buying into it.

Not from a stalker. [...Maybe.]
