"P-Papa! Gai-Sensei! W-Wait for me!"









Me, years ago: Okay, Naruto is officially a bullshit series. I wash my hands of it! Never again, you hear me, Kishimoto? Never again shall I be pulled in!









Boruto: *is published*









Me, peeking a little: ....Nope. Not falling for it again. Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me chicken soup with rice-











Metal Lee: .......*exists*









Me: .............................shit









i have MANY OPINIONS about Naruto and how bullshit it is and i'm honestly not super invested outside of a few bit characters but arrrghhh the fandom has suckered me back in at long last and i LOVE Naruto but i HATE it but i LOVE it ARGGH





Maito Gai and Rock Lee are basically my favorite characters, so it stands to reason that I'd fall head over heels for Rock Lee's teeny anxiety son, Metal Lee. He literally fights with the power of social anxiety how could i not love him





Boruto has yet to explain who Metal Lee's mom is (my money's on TenTen probably), buuut I headcanon that Rock Lee himself is lil Metal's "mom". Because Rock Lee is a trans man. Gaara is dad (well, a co-dad with Rock Lee, anyway). Yup. Sorry but those are just facts, I don't make the rules ladies and gents i just tell it like it is (I mean Metal Lee totally has Gaara's almond shaped eyes c'mooooon guyssss)





alternatively Rock Lee just spawned him asexually when he opened the eighth gate (of childbirth, presumably)
