[The fight was simply splendid. He supported where he could, but it looked like Sakura truly did handle it by herself. She may have been weary in the aftermath, but she was still a victorious goddess in Lee's eyes.]

We did it!! [Lee supplies her with a much larger echo and a cheer, raising his arms in the air joyously. He himself is sitting on the ground and shifts to face her, his own face decorated with bruises like so many years ago.

Her question gives him pause, however, as he thinks over his own condition.]

A-ah! I do not think that I need immediate attention, so please do not worry. At the moment... I do not feel any pain. The strongest sensation is - is... [He places a hand over his chest.] ...a warmth in my heart! I feel happy, Sakura-san! That was such an incredible battle. And you have grown so strong!

[Pride leaks into his words as he smiles at her!]
