"If you want to be saved from your pain. You must prepare yourself."

"Does that mean, prepare myself to give up my dreams?"

"If you lose your dreams, you will end up suffering even more than you are now. We're such fools that once we lose our 'minds', we can't live on. It's the same for both of us."

*"Ugh...I can do this...What's wrong Lee?"

"Why are you doing this? No on, not even Kakashi-sensei is keeping an eye on you."

"Considering I even made a 'nice guy' pose to keep up my appearance. I will keep my promise even if it costs me my life! What?"

"Why is it...That you always choose some weird rule before you do something?"

"Thanks for asking me that, Lee. You're such a great guy to notice such a good point. Alright, I'll tell you. However, you must keep it a secret from anyone else."

"Whaa...?What is it?"

"It is exactly the training that will bring you victory! It is a 'Self Imposed Rule'! Listen carefully. The point of this rule is, whenever you rise up against a challenge you create shackles for yourself to push yourself intentionally into harsher situations. For example, behind the hellish 'Lose the Janken Fight', I can seriously fight the Janken duel. That's the first advantage.

"If I can't keep up with Gai-sensei, then I will try even harder! In other words, if I am to become like sensei, and try even harder, then I will surely become a fine ninja!"

"Alright! Then I'll add one onto my rule! If you're not able to keep up with me till the end...I will devote my life to train you! By training you through my life, you will surely become a great ninja! That's a promise!"*

"Hahaha...That was it...That was the first time you taught me the 'Self Imposed Rule'..."

"For the one who never stopped working hard, the surgery will most definitely succeed! It will call forth a heavenly future. If by one in a million chance the surgery fails, then I shall die with you! Ever since I met you, my 'nindo', (Nindo: a path of effort) became to raise you into a great ninja. That's a promise!"
