'Have I really became weak?' Neji who fallen on the ground struggles to get up. He feels like all bones in his chest were almost crushed by the two kicks. 'Does hard work really beat talent?'
His mind was befuddled by questions. He never would believe this day would come where the person he always looked down upon would so quickly overtaken him.
"Here," Neji looked up seeing Lee stretching his hand out to help him stand up. On Lee's face was a bright and warm smile which touched him deeply. At the same time inspiring him.
"Thanks Lee," said Neji with slight embarrassment to be helped up by his rival Rock Lee.
"As my Senpais always say we're here to bring happiness to the world," Rock Lee said enthusiastically with a thumbs up, "so don't give up Neji-san! Because we can all become stronger with hard work."
Neji really didn't comprehend who were the Senpais Lee was talking about. Forget that, he find Rock Lee's image to be bigger than before. Filled with an awesome light shining forth.
In the distance Sasuke who was watching this scene nodded in agreement. 'Looks like he has really grown and learned,' Sasuke thought to himself with happiness.
At this moment a person wearing a green jumpsuit arrived in front of them patting both of their shoulders in encouragement.
"Lee you have really grown to be a true man," Guy said with tears flowing down his eyes, "this is the true power of youth!!"
"Guy-Sensei!!" Rock Lee also became teary as the two hugged in a very 'manly way'. Surprisingly Neji who's next to them also smiled as though he agrees with Lee's changes.
With a smile watching this scene Sasuke disappeared out of the Live Streaming. In the outside world Iruka was still teaching his lessons.
During lunch time as everybody was eating Ino tapped on Sakura's elbow asking, "Hey billboard brow how could you and Sasuke seemed more closer than usual?"
'Isn't it obvious? It's because we're dating,' Sakura thought inside proudly. Of course she simply answered with ignorance, "I don't really know."
The two watched for a moment at Sasuke who was sitting with Naruto and Hinata joking about some things. Seeing that bright smile on his face both girls blushed at the same time.
"Just so you know I wouldn't give up pursuing Sasuke no matter what," Ino raised her head saying to Sakura proudly with will.
"You say what Ino-pig!!" Sakura was annoyed about Ino trying to steal her boyfriend away from her.
Deep down she does know that it can be hard to keep away the attention. Especially when Sasuke is so way out of the ordinary.
Whenever Sasuke demonstrates his softer side to her she finds her heart simply melt from the love.
At the end of the day as Sakura and Sasuke walked out of the school Sakura asked, "Hey Sasuke I got something to ask you.���
"Hm what is it?" Sasuke looked at her expectantly.
"Well my parents wanted to me to bring you to our home for dinner," Sakura mentioned with hesitation afraid that it'll be a bother for him, "to repay you for helping me."
"Sure no prob," Sasuke answered casually.
"Thanks Sasuke-kun," Sakura smiled in happiness when Sasuke agreed to have dinner with them.
As Sasuke walked with Sakura to her home he founds their hand touching frequently.
Knowing what Sakura's trying to do with her antics made Sasuke revealed a meaningful smile.
'Sakura you got to be more brave. Don't be afraid to take the first step-huh?' Sakura who was doing self-encouragement was surprised by the warmth of Sasuke holding her hand.
Looking downwards she observes Sasuke holding onto her hand. When she observed Sasuke's expression she notices him smiling at her with a knowing smile.
Immediately Sakura looked to her side in embarrassment as Sasuke figured out what she was looking to do.
Yet she didn't try to be released from his hand holding onto hers. Deep inside her heart is now blossoming a yearning for his touch.
When Sasuke arrived inside Sakura's home he found himself welcomed warmly as a guests.
"You children will need to wait for a bit Mebuki is cooking the dinner right now," Kizashi Sakura's father said to Sakura as he brings a newspaper to sit at the dinner table.
Sakura's mother Mebuki who was cooking at the moment turned her face to greet Sasuke, "You must be Sasuke-kun. Our daughter Sakura always talk about how awesome you are."
Her mother was wearing an a pink/white colored apron. With dark yellow hair and smile that is very warm.
"M-mom!!" Sakura said in an annoyed fashion. As she feels so embarrassed that her mother revealed such details in front of her crush Sasuke.
Hearing that, Sasuke simply revealed a good-natured smile. It's not really a big secret since he already knows just how much Sakura likes him in her heart.
"Mrs. Haruno let me help you with your cooking," Sasuke went to her side. Picking up a knife to help her chop up some of the ingredients.
"Sasuke-kun you know how to cook?" Sakura's mother was slightly taken back. Due to the fact that it is really unusual in this cultural for the men to practice culinary art.
"Since I live alone I do know a bit of cooking," Sasuke explained in a casual manner.
In reality Sasuke is without mention the best chief in the entire Konoha. No, he is definitely be the best in the entire Ninja world.
Since in this world there's not many people that specialize in cooking. In Konoha there's only a countable amount of really restaurants.
The only reason Naruto even eat ramen all the time is because that was the only good ramen place in town. If it was on Earth that store would had already went bankrupt a long time ago.
