Lee has always dreamed of becoming a great ninja. Now Tsunade has told him it would be best for him to quit.
Meanwhile, Naruto hears that Konohamaru has locked himself in the Hokage's office and won't come out. Tsunade gives him to the end of the day to get Konohamaru out.
Sakura takes flowers to Lee at the hospital, but he isn't there for his rehab session yet. He's off reflecting on whether to undergo surgery.
Naruto tries to entice Konohamaru out of the room with free ramen, but the Third's grandson won't speak. When Naruto threatens to break down the door, Konohamaru dares him to try. Naruto charges against the door and is greeted by a number of falling bans.
Sakura sees Lee by the river and hands him her bouquet of flowers. When he tries to walk with her, he trips and she catches him. She tells him that Tsunade has healed Sasuke. He should go see her too.
Tsunade walks though town in search of a drink or a place to gamble. Shi*une offers to get her some sake if she agrees to do work.
Naruto tries to reason with Konohamaru. Why is he doing this? Everyone is worried. He tries sexy no jutsu and finally Kage bunshins. The clones hit the door and several pepper bombs go off.
Tsunade browses though a book of newly appointed ninjas. When she sees Lee's picture, she walks outside. She sees him by the bridge sadly picking petals off the flowers Sakura brought him.
Konohamaru refuses to allow anyone else use grandpa's room. Tsunade casually walks into her office avoiding all the boobie traps and making her way to her bookshelf. She grabs a book and walks away in silence.
This seems to pull Konohamaru out of his mood and together, he and Naruto walk through the village. He explains that soon, everyone will forget about his grandpa. They'll pack his stuff up in boxes and move on with their lives. Naruto vows to make everyone promise not to forget the Third.
Shi*une and Ton-ton scout the town for Tsunade. She's having saki and researching a way to increase the success rate of Lee's surgery. She explains to Shi*une that if she can figure out how to regenerate cells as Kabuto could, the surgery will be more likely to succeed.
Naruto and Konohamaru overhear Tsunade's conversation and Konohamaru brightens up. She talks like the Third did. As if everyone in the village is like family. He has newfound respect for the Fifth and is confident she will remember the core values of his grandfather.
