Ok I'm a little lost...

Shikamaru's learned not ONE but TWO jutsu's???!!!!! (sorry caps)
Kiba ran away from Lee?
Lee is BACK???????????????????????????????????? WTF WTF WTF WTF!
WTF is going on? Way to break all the tension Kishimoto! I was hoping to see Lee struggle in pain during his operation, but noooo you have him jump right in. I bet ten bucks that we're gonna have a flashback nojutsu on lee's operation. But its gonna be so anticlimatic since we know he comes out smiling like a dope.

Ah what the hell, Gai will probably explain that "YOUTH IS EXHILARATING!" and thats why Lee's back in action. I suppose that good enough for me.

go lee go.
