[closed; private meeting with the Hokage]

[awokentospring]

Who: Rock Lee and Uchiha Obito
When: February 24th, morning
Where: The Hokage's Office
What: Lee meets with the Hokage to discuss what he found out while in the Land of Demons.

Lee made sure he was the first in line to meet with the Hokage as soon as his office was open. That is, Lee woke up early, had time to make himself breakfast, train, get cleaned up, and still had time to be waiting for the Hokage to make his appearance. Some things never changed, even when one had worked themselves into exhaustion the day before.

Now sporting some fresh bandages and a clean, unscathed body suit on, Lee hardly looked like he had any difficulties on his mission but that was hardly the case. Still, he had made it out alive and without any vital injuries to his person. A good result for the most part. If only he had been more secretive when he had attempted to make his escape...

"Of course. Take your time. I don't want a rushed answer you'll regret." He nodded toward the door. "But if you wish to talk to me before then, my door is open to you."

Despite his sensei and the Hokage being close Lee had never sought to take advantage of that relationship for his own gains. And it seemed like that had never needed to be the case if Obito had such hopes for him.

Still conflicted on his decision, but happy to have been approached with the idea, Lee bowed politely and smiled. "I appreciate your consideration, Hokage-sama. I will keep in touch."

And with that, Lee moved to take his leave.

Satisfied, he just smiled and turned back to his work, certain he'd hear back with an answer eventually. Time would tell which way that answer would fall.
