"I...," Lee sputtered, not sure what to do in this situation. Follow him? Into potentially dangerous territory? Alone? But he had Tenten's body! He couldn't just leave her like that but...

"I have faith that Tenten will be able to handle herself," Lee said stoutly, and knew in his heart of hearts it was true. He would worry, but she was resourceful. She was a part of Team Gai, too, and they had uncanny luck.

For now, Lee had to get back to the village and report the incident so they could be on the look-out for their body-swapped friend. But before he left, he gave Kisame a strong stare. "... I would appreciate it if you would be kind to my friend should you find her. She is very strong and capable, as I said, but she is a lady all the same. I am not certain she will be happy being in a man's body or knowing a man is in hers."
