@fivetails roared:
" i don't know what you're talking about. " masato to gai /fivetails
he became accustomed to feeling like a fool. the ONE ally he had, the ONE person who encouraged him to stay by lee’s side. it struck him like lightning, unfortunately once the dam is broken the violent stream of water couldn’t be held back && as such realization came after realization, everything began to make so much sense.
why masato seemed to comment on lee’s obedience so much, why he talked so dismissively of his own children && why gai never met them. WHY LEE SEEMED SO SCARED OF THIS MAN. his son claimed to have seen glimpses of what the nibi called his heart, the few, timeworn books he found about the bijuus in konoha’s library confirmed lee’s claim. ( though nothing lay further from gai than not believing his son )
❝ I THINK YOU’RE LYING TO ME. ❞ he repeats himself. not once has gai mentioned lee, he’s trying to keep his little one out of this, the jinchuriki is dealing with enough stress as it is. the taijutsu master’s change of heart might seem strange, just yesterday he’d call masato his dear friend. what else could have tipped gai off??
