Anna's pov: *The five of us followed Guy sensei and Lee carrying Fu as they raced to the leaf village gates.*
Guy: See?! We're there!! The finish line's in sight!!! Victory!!! First place!!
Izumo's pov: *Kotetzu and I stared blankly as we heard two more people screaming our way.*
Lee: Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! *I shouted as I stopped next to him with Fu on my back* Only second place but close!!
Fu: Aww! I wish we could have come up first! *I whined depressingly.*
Lee: Don't worry, Fu. We'll get it next time.
Fu: Yeah!
Kotetzu: What kind of race was that?
Izumo: I don't know.
Guy: It's clear to me that you need more training, Lee.
Lee: You are right. And next time, I will try to come in first. Along with Fu here.
Fu: Yeah, we'll make sure to beat you next time, Guy sensei.
Guy: Hm, well Lee, I hate to break to you, but I have some bad news.
Fu: Hunh?
Lee: Hunh? What would that be, sensei?
Guy: Just this; you did not come in second. You finished in..... Third place!!!
Lee: WHAT?!!!!!
Fu: Hunh?!!!
Guy: You're forgetting I have Kakashi on my back. Technically, he came in second. Hahahaha! Did you hear that, Kakashi? You're a lucky man. But there's no need to thank me.
Lee: Ahhhhh!!! You have taught me yet another valuable lesson, sensei!! I still have so much to learn!!
Anna's pov: *He cried with tears rolling down his cheeks while scribbling some "life lessons" in his notebook. The other members along with Naruto and Sakura stared at them weirdly. I sighed in exasperation while pinching the bridge of my nose with a light shake and my eyes closed. Seriously?*
Neji: I'll never get used to their ridiculous level of intensity.
Tenten: Still, they got us back to the village pretty darn fast.
Neji: Ridiculous.
Anna: Yeah, and Fu's no any better either. *I announced as we looked to Fu who sat on her knees to the ground in depression.*
Fu: Dang it. If he got in third place..... *Raising her head high while crying comically, she shouted* .... that means I came in fourth!!! NOOOOO!!!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!! WHY?!!!!
Anna's pov: *I slumped my shoulders with a sweatdrop. This is getting too much already.*
Guy: Alllright then! Everyone accounted for? Let's report in to Lady Tsunade right away.
Sakura: Um... Guy sensei? *I called with my left hand raised.*
Guy: What is it?
Sakura: Kakashi sensei's looking a little....
Anna: Traumatized. *I completed using it as the perfect word to put his situation.*
Guy: Oh! You're right! First stop the hospital then we'll report in.
