Rating/Warning: youth

A. CERES Marketplace

[Rock Lee happens to be at the general store, collecting groceries. There's seemingly a number of normal products in his shopping cart... but then there's also massive amounts of packages of floss. In fact, he even seems to be intensely flossing as he waits in line and focusing on his canines. What could it mean...?

Or you could find him at a clothing store, staring at the variety of neckwear.]

B. CERES Gym

[Another day at the gym. He's been working harder ever since he lost his job at the sports store. Here at the gym, he acts as a martial arts instructor. But, he's dealing with a problem passed down by whoever his boss happens to be: apparently some of his students have complained about his workouts being too intense. He has to do something to amend that.]

For fellow instructors

[If Rock Lee sees anyone else who teaches at the gym, he will handstand-run right at them.]

Excuse me!! I would like a moment of your time, please!

For students or anyone else

[Once he sees anyone he's trained with, or someone who looks like a potential new student, he will try greeting them with a meek wave. Can he keep down the intensity?!]

C. Ramen Place

[Rock Lee is taking orders at the same ramen place where Naruto works.]

Would you like anything, esteemed customer?! I can guarantee that our curry ramen will make you feel more lively than ever!!

D. Wild Card!

Feel free to run into him somewhere around the residential, shopping and/or entertainment districts!

Comments

[niceguypose]

Yes! At any time at all! [Really, it's the same first task that his own sensei passed on to them.]

[rollin]

[ Well then.

Yata immediately punctuates Lee's sentence with a low kick aimed at him, his foot now covered in a red flame-like glow. HE'S EAGER TO LEARN, SENSEI. ]

[niceguypose]

[Well that is sudden! But since the idea was still fresh in Lee's mind, he wasn't caught completely offguard. In fact, he shifts his body's weight very swiftly, tossing him to the side and just narrowly away from the kick, and sending the weight on his back flying into the air at the same time.]

Ah... Very lively, Yata-kun!! You're all fired up! How is this so?

[rollin]

[ Yata grins. Good to see that Lee's not all talk. ]

I ain't got time for this, so teach me already!

[ He lunges forward and attempts a right uppercut. ]

[niceguypose]

Heh! There's always time in one's youth, Yata-kun! [This strike almost hits him as well, but he's able to straighten himself out and duck back just in time.]

[rollin]

Youth ain't gonna wait! Let's end this now and let me hit you!

[ And in comes a flurry of punches. Again, the same red, flame-like streaks of light trace the path of his fists as he tries to get a hit in. ]

[niceguypose]

Whoa! [He smiles - in a manner both smug and impressed- and he does some impressive, swift weaving out of the ways of the fists. But then one manages to get his cheek as he tries to pull to the side. Rock Lee gasps and steps back for a moment... then he raises a thumbs up!]

Good job!

[rollin]

[ Yata pumps his fists in victory! ]

Fuck yeah! [ Then, feeling a little giddy from his success, he rubs the space above his lip. ] Heh, nothing gets past the great Yatagarasu... So when do we start? Can we start now!?

[niceguypose]

Hold on one second!! [He pumps his own fists with righteous anger.]

'Yatagarasu'?! You had a cool nickname this entire time, and I was never told?!

[rollin]

Ah, my bad. It's my alias since I'm part of HOMRA. [ He jerks a thumb at himself. ] People scream when they hear us comin'!

[ In a bad way. ]

[niceguypose]

Ah... I understand that feeling! I often want to scream when I see you... like this!

Ahhhh! My beloved and dear friend of youth, Yata-kun!! YATAGARASU-KUN!

...

May I ask what this HOMRA is!?

[rollin]

...

[ Stop, he's embarrassed now. ]

HOMRA's my clan! We're the strongest where I'm from.

[niceguypose]

[He wasn't already embarrassed, or perhaps in a perpetual state of embarrassment from Lee's general existence!]

Ah... a powerful clan! I should have guessed! That fiery aura of yours... Could that be a bloodline limit?!

[rollin]

[ Oh, good point.

It's the latter. ]

What's a bloodline limit?

[niceguypose]

Ah... You know! It means an ability that is restricted to one bloodline!

[rollin]

Nah, I got it from Mikoto-san. We all got our power from Mikoto-san. He gave it to us when we joined.

[niceguypose]

Is that so? Ah... then this is not a clan joined by a bloodline?

To get a power from a dear friend... It's so touching!!

[rollin]

You don't have to cry... But yeah, that's how it went down. Now I'm the strongest after Mikoto-san and Kusanagi-san. That's why they made me the vanguard!

[niceguypose]

Ooh, I'm so proud of you! You're so strong, Yata-kun... a vanguard sounds like a very neat role! I believe in you- one day, you'll overcome your rivals!

[rollin]

[ Man, this is why Lee's like a breath of fresh air. Yata grins. ]

But I gotta train first, right? Show me how it's done, Lee-sensei!

[niceguypose]

Ack! L-Lee-sensei...! [It's not the first time he's been called that, but he tears up regardless.]

Yes!! Let's get this lesson started in a lively fashion! I'm all fired up, Yatagarasu-kun!!
