"Don't worry, ____. We've all had our embarrassing moments. It's what makes us human, or, in this case, ninja"
...
Having successfully delivered a stern lecture to the two gossiping ladies, you turned around, expecting to find Naruto, only to discover that he had mysteriously vanished. Puzzled, you couldn't help but think, 'Huh, that's strange.' A sense of concern gnawed at you, prompting the decision to go look for him.
As you began to jog, a familiar voice called out your name, punctuating the air with repeated " (Y/n)! (Y/n)! (Y/n)!" Turning around, you found Lee, his boundless enthusiasm evident as always. "Oh, hi Lee! What's up?" you greeted him with a warm smile. Lee, momentarily overcome with shyness, lowered his head, fumbling with his fingers before mustering the courage to look up at you.
"Well, I just wanted to congratulate you on becoming a ninja!" Lee announced, a burst of confidence lighting up his features. "And for celebration, I wanted to take you out for dinner with my team!" he continued, his genuine excitement palpable.
You chuckled, appreciating Lee's earnestness. "That sounds like a great idea, Lee. I'd be happy to join you for dinner!" you replied, genuinely touched by his gesture. As you expressed your gratitude, Lee's sensei, a vibrant character with a green jumpsuit and an unmistakable resemblance to Lee, stepped forward.
"Greetings! I am Might Guy, and these are my youthful students," Guy proclaimed with theatrical flair, gesturing towards the two teammates who had emerged from the bushes. The boy, with the Hyuga clan symbol on his short-sleeved jacket, named Neji, mumbled something almost inaudible, giving off an air of reluctance.
You couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, noticing Neji's disinterested demeanor. Tenten, on the other hand, grinned, "Oh, don't mind Neji. He's just thrilled to be here."
"Yeah, thrilled," Neji muttered under his breath, his words almost lost in the background noise. His reluctance to participate in the celebration left you wondering why they had emerged from the bushes in the first place.

As you joined Lee's team at the restaurant, the first surprise was the eclectic menu they had chosen - a variety of extremely spicy dishes, apparently to enhance the power of youth. The menu featured dishes with names like "Eternal Flame Ramen" and "Dragon's Breath Curry," each promising an intense flavor experience. Lee, with unbridled enthusiasm, insisted that consuming these fiery delights would infuse everyone with the energy and strength of youth.
