[And here is a bushy-browed youth addressing the video feed, with a mix of anticipation and dread.]

Greetings, people of Luceti! Rock Lee here! Currently, I am training hard so that I can try my hand at becoming a jounin! I would be glad to accept any and all training partners. However... Please only see me before the fourteenth!

After all, I must warn all newer people of the holiday that is coming... the day of the Valentines. On such a day, the Malnosso have been known to use their shifts to twist our emotions! They force on us... the feeling of love! Those who were caught under the mistletoe may have some idea of this effect...

My advice, is to exercise caution! In fact, I intend to seal myself within the Battle Dome once the time comes until I am certain it is over! Please do not come to find me. Alternatively, if you do find me, and I seem to be under the effect of the shift, I ask you to do all that you can to overpower me and keep me restrained until it passes! I thank you all in advance...

[Basically, Lee can be found doing waiting at Seventh Heaven, while training at the same time. He can otherwise be found performing intense training around the village, within the Fllame Building or the forest, or at the Battle Dome.]

I didn't say anything about wanting to train with you...

But you would like to, is that correct?

Um, no, not really. At least, not right now.

So, another time then. Just know that whenever you are ready? I will be waiting!

You really don't give up, do you?

That's right! Never giving up is just part of my ninja way!

I don't remember Sheena ever saying anything about that...

Ah... Perhaps she has her own ninja way. Either way, my own is set in stone!

Would you stop bothering me if I agreed to one training session with you?

Ah... Of course! Then you will be started on your road of self improvement!

And what happens when I reach the end of that road?

Let me tell you a secret...

[In an exceptionally loud hush:]

It is a road that never ends.

... that sounds like a lot of work.

It is. That is because hard work is essential on the path to becoming stronger! The stronger we are... the better we can protect those who are precious to us! It is all worth it for that reason, Emil-kun.

Protect those who are precious to us...

[That's a sentiment that resonates with him. That's why he wants to become stronger, even if it's a difficult (and sometimes frightening) task. And as odd as Lee is, if this training could help him with that, then...]

... okay. I'll train with you once and then decide how I feel about it.

[He smiles at those words. That's what Gai-Sensei had always taught him after all. And he's glad that such ideals are valued by Emil as well.]

Very well! Then... It shall be official!

I want to become stronger so I can help protect my friends!

[... Emil no stop what are you doing]
