Forty-third and final Lotus

[The writing is much slower than normal. He's taking his time.]

I do not know that there is anything more to say on the topic of me. I am Maito Gai, the Green Beast of Konoha, teacher of Lee, Neji, and Tenten, Eternal Rival to Kakashi, summoner of Ninkame, shinobi of Konohagakure. What you have seen and met is me. I teach and I train and I fight. And I hug. And you are all welcome to visit. If there is anything anyone else would like to know, you may ask, but I cannot think of what else to say.

I am going home, but I will see many of you again, for I will visit here, and the worlds that have an invitation.

It has been my honor to work with those I have, and to meet those I have. I will not forget any of you.

NAUGHTY PUPPY

There was a time you didn't like me. I'm not sure which version of you scares me more.

Lee, what do you know about what's to come...?

/gives you the cute puppy eyes

When I didn't like you I thought you were sleeping with my father and perhaps had questionable intentions. I know better now.

I. I know a few things. Our team just returned to the village but it had already been under attack for quite some time. Hinata-san was in critical condition....

Nooo, not the puppy eyes!

[identity profile] grab-my-bells.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
Instead I'm just sleeping with your sensei. I still have questionable intentions.


[Written quickly.] Do you know if she survives?

THE MOST DEWEY AND SAD PUPPY EYES IMAGINABLE!

My most revered sensei who is like a father to me! But your intentions are not questionable. Not at all.

I do not. I just. I remember turning away, and then I see a frog lying on the ground. It is obviously dead but I want to believe it will be okay, so I just tell everyone he is injured, and when I look back up...

I don't remember past that. I am sorry.

/IS SO WEAK TO THE PUPPY EYES

[identity profile] grab-my-bells.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, they are. What sort of pervert would I be without questionable intentions?

Thank you, Lee.

Does this mean I get double points for striking a critical blow?

Perhaps you are losing your touch? I am fairly certain there is actual emotion between yourself and Gai-sensei.

I am sorry I cannot be more informative. We had really only just arrived back from being out on a mission. We had no idea we would be coming home to find Konoha half-destroyed, or else we might have pushed ourselves harder and made it home on time to really help.

... No. We can just call it SUPER EFFECTIVE and leave it at that... >.>

You've been listening to Genius too long.


It's fine, Lee. Your team will be there to support Hinata, which is more than enough.

|D I like that idea too~

[identity profile] awokentospring.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
And you are being silly and denying things again.


... Yes. I suppose that is true. Naruto-kun was there as well, so we would probably manage to find a medic with all of us working together.

lol

[identity profile] grab-my-bells.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm never silly.

Well, then she'll be fine. [Ugh, Naruto, why did you ditch your training? *sigh* Kakashi wishes he had manageable students like Lee.]

>:3c

[identity profile] awokentospring.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
So then you are always 100% serious, Kakashi-sensei?

Yes. She will be fine.

You will too, Kakashi-sensei. I will make sure it will happen.

[identity profile] grab-my-bells.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, maybe.


Don't be an idiot like your sensei, please.

[identity profile] grab-my-bells.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, conveniently, a large ink blot falls over that sentence, Gai.]

[A happy face appears next to it shortly after--the face bears a certain uncanny similarity to the henohenomoheji Kakashi used on his own journal entry.]

[And if it has a bowlcut, it has to have sparkles.]

The mustache was a little much, Gai.

I do not believe it.

What is it about him that makes him an idiot? I do not see it! And there is nothing about hoping that makes anyone an idiot! To strive to make something better... That is a good thing!

[identity profile] grab-my-bells.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
I figured you would say that.


Don't get yourselves killed for it, though.

Clearly they should just tie Bell to the bed to keep him from leaving the Sphere.

[Nothing is written in reply. He hates himself for wavering on this when his head tells him that the answer should always clearly be what's best for Konoha. But he doesn't want to be dead, either, doesn't want to leave, and doesn't really want to make this choice. But duty comes first, and even if Kakashi can't do anything for Konoha anymore, because he's already dead, he knows Gai and Lee can, and that's important to him.]

You know me well then. As can be expected.

I will not. I have an enduring spirit! And I know it would only cause you and Gai-sensei more pain if I did, so I will be careful but still strive to protect you in any way I can!
