For the first story of this sideshow Rock Lee has to protect a little girl and her family from a loan shark. And in the second story he competes Naruto for a one of a time bowl of food.

During the first story Lee tries to ask out Sakura. When that fails, in the second story he tries his luck through a love-letter.

In the first story Lee tries to prove he's better than Neji. For the second Tenten tries to make her teammates recognizing her more as a girl, not just as a ninja.

Guy Sensei - and consequently his team - must face the consequence of him trying to develop a new kung-fu style. Then Lee temporarily trades his Sensei for Kakashi.

Guy Sensei and Kakashi must work together preventing their pupils to use ninjutsu for even the most trivial matter. After that is dealt with, Lee sees another opportunity to date Sakura.

In this two-parter Lee must prove he can compete with his master already, like all the other characters in the main show. To prove himself he even develops a new move.

There's a sudden deflation in volunteers for future ninjas. And for the second story Guy gets sick.

It is summer, but thanks to Orochimaru there's no water in the pool. Second there is a festival where everyone makes their wishes giving insights. Orochimaru is included.

The guys are feeling lazy,so they trick the girls to do all the cooking. For second everyone feels lazy being the summer vacation to show up at Guy Sensei for the community exercise.

These two episodes are practically promoting the Naruto Shippuden: The Movie film. It doesn't mean it fails in quality, just expect a lot of 4th wall happening.

Yet another festival where Lee has the disadvantage not being able to use genjutsu. Orochimaru brings his own fireworks too. But the event has some consequences: it is revealed Tenten is in love with Orochimaru?

Our ninjas are going to the beach, and Sakura has a new swimsuit. And to top the day they share a watermelon.

Lee takes a visit at Gara. When he returns home after that he must face a series of impostors - I mean fans?

How to give yourself goose bumps when it's hot? Tell some ghost stories of course. Real ghost stories. Something which explanation is not Lee. But when Konohamaru has to face Orochimaru, things definitely get scary.

Lee and Naruto ends up body-switched. The hardest problem is not the mutual interest in Sakura, nor the local bandits - but "Niney, the dog" locked away in Naruto.

Ino catches Naruto and Lee spying on Sakura while she's bathing. Naruto and Lee end up swapping bodies after Sakura misfires her Mind-Body Switch jutsu!

A story about Sai. Then we'll figure out who is the manliest in Leaf Village through a contest featuring Lady Tsunade.

When Lee notices the character on Gaara's forehead has changed from "Love" to "Romance," he's convinced the Kazekage's got a crush on someone. Later, Lee gets a booby-trapped watch from Orochimaru that will explode if he stops training.

The ninjas play dodge-ball. And Kabuto rebels against Orochimaru.

Lady Tsunade wins the lottery jackpot and promises to take Lee and the gang out for five-star sushi! Later, Iruka-sensei's had enough with his disobedient students, so Lee and the gang go to the Academy to put on a show.

Gara arrives to the Leaf Village for a diplomatic meeting, where out shinobis have to take care of his entertainment. Then Guy Sensei has to take care of the girl's sudden training (ob)session.

Tobi and Deidara are the ones now who try to infiltrate Leaf Village. First they and up in the So Random show about driving safety, then comes the Halloween Festival.

Guy Sensei gives the gang a rare break, but will they end up being terrorized by Orochimaru's "Orochi Hot Springs" trap? Later, Orochimaru realizes his birthday, October 27th, came and went without anyone noticing.

Lee is faking catching cold so he can play nurses with Sakura. Second, Lee struggles with his popularity within the show. It has a moral too: use your right to vote on state-elections.

Guy Sensei accidentally goes bald, so he gets a wig. Next Lee takes the role of the Narrator who got sick, making his fantasies invade the show.

When Naruto's favorite ramen stand, Ichiraku comes up against hard financial times, Lee tries to help the restaurant. Later, Tenten and Neji try to get their hard working teammate to actually use his vacation time to rest.

Those animals in the title means the familiar summoned creatures. // Winter is coming, but Hinata don't want her affection to Naruto freeze over too.

An encounter with the Sand siblings turns ugly when Temari insults Tenten, igniting the Leaf Shinobi's desire for a Chunin Exam rematch! Orochimaru starts longing to live a normal life after being barred from entering a family-friendly market.

Everyone calm down, he only substitutes. Still manages to transform the village to his own face. Even ramen. And Shikamaru is using his IQ to form the world fit to his needs.

For X-mass there's a gift-exchange. Then out heroes must prepare for the new year blowing the dust (would Leaf Hurricane work?) and eating the first meal.

Lady Cunade's loosing-streak has its effect on providing the youngsters their new year's gift. // With the New Eve Wishes Hyuga is worrying the social consequences of Hinata's wish after Naruto - an Uzimaki. And he creates a love-triangle?

Trapped by Orochimaru's blizzard, Lee and the gang fight to stay warm. Later, popping out from the First Hokage's nostril is Rock Lee, from 30 years in the future! He's come back to give his young self a helpful robot.

Shino's ultimate weakness revealed. // It is one of those yearly sellouts. It is war on a battlefield. And war never changes.

The others try to teach Lee how to be less obvious. And Orochimaru. But is that possible when he makes such a big deal even out of cleaning the public toilet? One thousand years of death awaits.

So, this is the traditional Bean-throwing Festival, throwing beans to expel demons. What a drag. // This story connects to Neji's brother sacrificing himself for his clan in a dispute with Hidden Cloud.

Guy comes up with the idea maybe some snow-statue would warm up Cunade with cold weather and cold purse on Valentine's Day. // Talking about VD, time to do some training together too. Train to get the VD-chocolates.

Yes. Jiraiya leading, the group tries to peek the heroins in the bath. But what does this has to do with Orochimaru?

It is spring, and Akamaru is a dog. Get your own conclusion. Involve Kisame and his sword. // Sasuke. Nuff said, Taka.

Sai leads the group to retrieve a sacred jutsu-scroll. When they return they must face a zombie-virus which turns everyone into Orochimarus.

White Day is the other half of Japan's Valentine Day, where the boys give back gifts for the girls' chocolates. So let's ruin it. // Someone don't want that festival to end.

Guy takes too much vigor-pills giving the chance to Lee to practice being grown-up with a baby. // Lady Cunade is down on her luck. So much, she is mistaken to wish to be married.

Sasuke attacks the Hidden Leaf. Orochimaru dies. This is the final tie to the main series. // Lee leaves the Leaf Village to start a journey of training. // The Show goes out with an S-rank mission, not with a clip-Show.
