Lee charged forward, but instead of his usual green jumpsuit, he was suddenly wearing a full chef’s outfit. Neji was forced into a maid costume (for "aerodynamics," Lee claimed), and Tenten was handed a giant pair of chopsticks instead of her scrolls.
As the giant Naruto-dumpling bounced through the streets, Lee intercepted it with a flying kick. "Dynamic... SEASONING!" He pelted the dumpling with giant packets of soy sauce.
"Wait, Lee! Stop! You’re just making me tastier!" Naruto yelled as the dumpling began to glow with a savory aura.
"Lee! If you cannot perform one million thumb-ups by sunset, we shall hike across the Land of Fire on our eyelashes!" Guy-sensei roared, tears of youth streaming down his face.
"Neji! Tenten! We must save Naruto-kun from his own deliciousness!" Lee declared, striking a pose. "Guy-sensei, permission to use the Secret Technique: The Ginger-Garlic Lotus!"
"Permission granted, Lee! Show the world the power of a balanced diet!"
In the end, it took the combined might of Team Guy and a very confused Akamaru to roll the dumpling into a giant steamer basket. As the steam cleared, Naruto was free, but Lee was already weeping with joy.
