Master! Master!

Master!

Master!

[gasping]

Master! Who has done this to you?!

Quack, quack..

Quack, quack?

Quack.

Quack?

I'm trying to tell you to duck out of here!

[laughing]

I won't let you!

Oh, no, it's Madara! The leader of the Akatsuki!

Yes, Rock Lee, ultimate weapon of the Hidden Leaf Village!

That man was merely bait to lure you here.

You are unforgivable!

It is time for me to use Sensei's secret medicine now!

[gulping]

What in the--

[hiccuping]

[groaning]

What's with those moves? You look like a drunken. This will be easy...

[attacking yell]

[yelling]

With my Teleportation Ninjutsu, you can't touch me.

Aye!

I get stronger the more I drink! This is the art of the Drunken Fist!

You will not be able to see my punch coming!

What?!

[yelling]

Too easy!

[grunting]

I am just getting started!

Uh?! Awww...

Sensei, may I have another?

But that was the last one!

[groaning]

[hiccuping]

You heard him. So until I get more medicine, let us just take a little breather.

Sure, why not?

No way! Like I'd agree to that!

[screaming]

[panting]

[sighing] It was all just a dream, then.

Unacceptable! I cannot believe that I fell asleep during training!

It only shows I lack vigilance!

War is coming! I must become strong like Naruto!

I must train harder!

Harder!

But wait... if I could somehow become as strong as I was in that dream without having to take the medicine...

Guy Sensei, I think that the time has finally come to attempt that training once again!

"Fight! Rock Lee!"

[groaning]

Just lie down and stay still and you'll feel better.

No, don't be ridiculous!

Eh?!

If guts and effort can't overcome a little seasickness...

Why, then I no longer deserve to be called the Leaf's Blue Beast!

All right, all right, already!

Hmm.

You know... that reminds me...

It was the day after we took Lee out to celebrate him learning the Hidden Lotus...

[snoring]

[gagging]

[retching]

Oh, boy... I feel rotten.

Must've had too much to drink last night. Huh?

[snoring]

How strange. I wonder what Lee is doing in my room.

Unfortunately, my memory is unclear.

I do remember going out to dinner with you, Guy Sensei...

But I cannot remember anything else.

Hm, yes. And I'm in the same boat.

But I have a feeling that something really big happened last night.

I am sorry, Sensei!

What are you apologizing for?!

You took me out for a delicious meal and I had the audacity to forget it!

And you probably gave me hints about training, too!

I have failed as a student!

Just hold on, Lee, it's okay. Hm?

What was that just now? Wait a minute! That's right!

[crying] I'm so very sorry!

I, Might Guy, am responsible for everything!

[struggling]

Sensei?

Sensei? What is it? Tell me.

It's nothing! Nothing at all!

I've really gone and done it now...

Oh! Have you remembered something about what happened last night?!

Please! You have to tell me what it is!

It's nothing. Nothing at all!

But, uh, by the way, Lee... why did you bring that menu back here?

I feel really guilty about taking it from the restaurant...

But I used this menu to take copious notes on the hints that you gave me about training, Sensei.

I gave you hints about training...?

Yes!

Please, take a look at it.

Grilled chicken skewers? What about them?

Sensei, you told me that one could train at any time! For example, even with a menu.

You circled the chicken to show me!

And you told me that I need to visualize.

To visualize with grilled chicken?!

Come to think of it...

Kakashi!

It's time for a match with my eternal rival! Come on, we just have to! Right?

I can't. I'm right in the middle of training.

Oh, don't be ridiculous! How can reading indecent books like this be training?

This is just my way of training.

Huh?

It's training through visualization.

Whether it's a real battle or only training, visualizing can really make a huge difference in

your performance.

You know, you should try reading books and learning to visualize, too. See ya!

I should learn to visualize? What's he talking about? Developing a new jutsu?

Huh. I think it's called training through visualization.

Training through visualization?! And tell me. What kind of training is that, Sensei?!

Oh, well without any doubt, it's a very important type of training! I guess...

That has to be it! Yesterday, during dinner, you were probably telling me all about this kind of training!

Perhaps if we try it out this very day, right now, then we shall remember what happened yesterday!

Oh, uh...

Please, let us try!

If I train and remember, it will be like killing two birds with one stone! And if you remember, too,

it is like killing three birds with one stone!

This isn't good. Especially not if it makes him remember what happened yesterday.

If he remembers how pitiful the whole situation was, I'll lose face as his master.

I am Might Guy, The Leaf's Blue Beast.

He mustn't remember! I'll do everything in my power to prevent it!

Sensei. Just what kind of training is this, anyway?

You mean you don't recognize it? Right now, you're training through visualization!

Oh, I get it! This is what you were telling me about!

Yep!

You see, those delicious skewers are made with chicken!

Bird-style self-defense means White Crane Fist!

Oh! Yes, I can see it! It is definitely a crane!

And when you become one with the crane, then you're close to mastering the White Crane Fist!

That is the true benefit of visualization training!

Huh! Now that you mention it...

It is quite difficult to balance on one leg in the mud.

But of course! This combines strength training for your legs and torso!

[grunting]

Lee! You're not visualizing enough!

Visualize!

Visualize this not as a chicken skewer but as a mighty sword to use against your enemies!

The "Grilled chicken" technique!

I see! Visualize grilled chicken! Very deep!

All right! I will become grilled chicken!

Yes! Great! Visualize it!

Huh?

But for some reason, the birds appear to be getting very upset.

[gulping] I think that you're right.

[bird calls]

[screaming] Nice bird! Oh, no, no!

I guess eating a bird in front of other birds wasn't such a good idea.

But there won't be any problems this time!

Oh! Barbecued eel!

Is there really an eel technique, Sensei?

You're not visualizing hard enough, Lee! An eel moves just like a snake, right?

And that means...

Snake Fist!

Right! The Snake Fist!

[grunting]

Lee, join in!

Yes, sir!

Visualize a snake slithering silently and hunting its prey...

Ahhh!

Sensei! What is this?!

Oh, it's just a little something they call quicksand!

[screaming]

[grunting]

Whoa. That was a very close call!

Not quite. Problems are just chances to succeed!

Right! But why are we climbing this mountain, anyway, Sensei?

'Cause next on the menu is Ma Po tofu.

Okay, but...

It contains hawk claw chili pepper.

Hawk claw should remind us of...

Eagle Claw Fist!

Oh, so then...?

[chirping]

Nothing ventured, nothing gained! To visualize an eagle, find its nest!

Jump!

[chirping]

Sorry to disturb you! But really, we mean no harm! Let's be friends!

Hurry up, Lee!

Sensei, is the essence of Eagle Claw Fist here?

[gasping]

[screaming]

Now, that's the essence of Eagle Claw Fist!

I agree!

Sensei, have you remembered anything yet?

Uh, no. What about you, Lee?

Not really.

Oh! I see!

Good! This visualization nonsense is throwing him off track!

[gulping] Aaahhh!

So refreshing!

Hmmm...

Wait... I think I remember something else...

[gasping]

Now I'm sure... Lee has seen me at my absolute worst!

I must stop him from remembering anything about yesterday!

Sensei, just one final menu item was circled.

Let's hope we remember after this, Or we'll just have to forget the entire thing!

So, what did you circle?

Well, I sure hope that this works. The last item we circled at dinner is a bottle of sake!

[spitting]

That must mean a technique like the Dr--

Drifter Fist!!

What?

It's the Drifter Fist!!

Ah! The ocean!

There is a technique that is called the Drifter Fist?

Yes, of course!

That was close! I have to avoid bringing up any images of alcohol. Drunken Fist is out of the question.

Let us start training right now!

Lee, what in the world are you doing?

Well, to learn the Drifter Fist, I thought that we would do our training on a boat.

Oh! Of course! You really are becoming quite sharp!

The visualization training is paying off in spades.

Oh, boy. It had to be a boat.

Let us begin, Sensei.

This training involves more than just simple visualization.

There's no point in even starting unless you can maintain balance on a boat that's swaying on the water.

Yes, Guy Sensei! But if this is all the swaying, then it should be quite easy.

Stop! Stop! Just stop!

To remain still on the water's surface! That is the essence of Drifter Fist.

Hey, don't do that! Don't rock the boat so much!

Whoaaa-- but Sensei, I'm not doing this!

Ahhhhh!

This training is definitely intense!

[gagging]

Sensei, I do not feel so good...

[groaning]

Oh no! Those moves look just like the Drunken Fist! I have to stop him!

[gagging]

Listen, Lee! You can't master the Drifter Fist with moves like those.

You must stand firm!

[groaning]

Oh... You mean like this?

[groaning]

I am standing firm.

Hold on... What kind of movement is that?!

I am sorry, but to keep my balance...

... This works best.

That boy...! The Drunken Fist just comes naturally to him. That's right!

[growling]

[grunting]

What's the big idea?!

[groaning]

[hiccuping]

[yelling]

So fast! Such movement! But how did...?

[gasping]

Sake lee pickles! Made by soaking radishes in sake lees.

Yes, that's just gotta be it! You're a natural Drunken Fist user!

Go for it! Teach him a lesson!

No mercy for a drunkard who tries to eat and run!

Hit to your heart's content, my boy!

[laughing]

So that's what happened... It was you all along...

Guy Sensei, I am sorry.

Why are you apologizing? [gagging]

I believe that I did something terrible yesterday!

And you were forced to fall to your knees to apologize for my shameful deed!

Uh!

So, then... You remember everything that happened?

I do not remember the event itself.

But what I do remember is the shop being in ruins and you apologizing to the owner.

I see... And when you saw that, you must have found me pathetic, indeed...

Not so! Because the words that you spoke then were so...

This day was to celebrate my pupil's efforts.

I admit he's foolish and only knows how to work hard.

But still, he strives harder than any other man, and he will succeed because he's a genius at

working hard!

He's a great shinobi, the future of the Leaf, the treasure I've dedicated my life to!

If anyone's to blame, it's me as his master! Forgive me!

And after that... you asked them not to spoil my big day!

Which was to mark my past successes and my future endeavors.

That is all that I'm able to remember... But the fervor in your words struck me!

That is why I have been trying so hard to get you to remember what happened!

So you could scold me for all of my mistakes!

But this is the final hint, my last chance to unlock all those hidden memories...

So now...

What do I do...?!

Lift your head up, Lee!

[sobbing]

Sensei?!

Hear me! You have done nothing wrong!

All you did was try to learn the Drunken Fist technique!

Sensei! You regained your memory?

Never mind that. I'm going to teach you the art of the Drunken Fist!

But, you need to drink sake to learn it, do you not, Sensei?

You're stronger the drunker you get! That is Drunken Fist!

But you already have an innate affinity for that technique!

Just embrace your nausea! Through seasickness, perfect your own, unique Drunken Fist!

What, really?!

And then put this training to use!

Let's go!

Right!

Hyyyaaah!

[yelling]

[grunting]

[yelling]

Too easy, Lee! Severe Leaf Hurricanes!

[gagging]

All right, then! Leaf Whirlwind!

This nausea is getting worse by the second!

But your Seasick Fist is looking better and better!

[gagging]

Yes! This is my own version of the Drunken Fist! The Seasick Fist.

Yes! The Seasick Fist!

Here I come!

He's gone?!

I really feel sick!

Ahhhhhh!

Guy Sensei! Guy Sensei! Are you all right, Guy Sensei?!

[chuckling] You sure got me good.

You did it! The Seasick Fist.

That was a terrific hit!

Guy Sensei... That means the world to me!

[retching]

And as a result of undergoing intense training through seasickness, Lee finally

managed to perfect his Seasick Fist!

He can't use it, though...

Huh? Well, surely unless he overcomes his seasickness, he can't use it in battle.

And then Lee said...

Through hard work and guts, I swear to conquer my seasickness and master the Seasick Fist!

That's not what I meant.

Huh?

I mean there's really no way that he can fight while he's seasick, but unless he feels woozy

from the seasickness...

Then it really won't be like the Drunken Fist, will it?

Eh-heh.

Come on!

What?! Our food's infested with mushrooms!

It's not just the food. Our water is gone, too.

We have to turn the ship around right now!

We can't. Once we're on this route, turning back is impossible.

But-!

We can't change course for two weeks. We'll have to do without food or water till then!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Eat or Die! Mushrooms from Hell!

I need food! Give me something to eat!
