Summary[]

Rock Lee is a Ninja Who Can't Use Ninjutsu[]

In Konohagakure, a girl named Mie is being chased by a gang of debt collectors. However, Rock Lee, a shinobi who can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu, appears to help save Mie from the debt collectors. He then manages to make the debt collectors retreat by using a made up technique. Lee's team-mates, Neji Hyūga and Tenten, then appear who are mad that Lee has left them behind. Mie then asked for the team to help in defending her from the debt collectors who are trying to force her to pay or they threaten to destroy her house. Team Guy agrees to this request and are then taken to the girls house whose utility is cut off. She asked for Lee's assistance by heating up the kettle so she can make them tea. Lee explains that he can't since he is a shinobi who can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu. This disappoints her and has the team leave the premises without giving Lee time to explain. The debt collectors then return along with their boss to kidnap Mie, however Lee returns to protect her. Lee unleashes a barrage of attacks upon the three debt collectors and then faced the boss in battle. Mie believes that it is impossible for Lee to defeat the boss without ninjutsu, however, Neji and Tenten stepped in explaining to the girl that Lee doesn't need the basis skills of a ninja, but his will to fight. Lee then charges towards the boss and uses the Elimination by Depantsification once more. This technique proved effective and the debt collectors retreat, promising to never come back. Lee then explains Mie that he plans on becoming a great shinobi without using ninjutsu. Mie believes in Lee and runs forward to hug him, but Lee sees dog feces on the ground and tries to avoid it and as a result, Lee accidently pulls down Mie's pants. This leaves Mie enrage and injures Lee.

Rock Lee's Rival is Naruto[]

Neji, Lee and Tenten accept a mission to obtain a baumkuchen, a popular food with limited stocks. Lee goes to acquire the voucher, but finds that Naruto Uzumaki desires it as well. Both need the voucher for a mission, but each attempts to give the voucher to the other. To solve the problem, the two tie the voucher to the top of a tree and race to get it. Lee, in the lead, reaches for the voucher, but Naruto beats him by a hairs length and snatches it. Saddened, Lee nearly gives up, but refuses to do so after thinking of the outcome if he did. He reveals the race to be a heart-warming skit and moves Naruto to tears. Naruto hands Lee the voucher and Lee and his teammates go to get the baumkuchen, only to find that it had been sold due to no one taking the order when the number was called.
