Part 1: The Leaf Village Sports Meet[]
Lee's determination to win
Konoha presents its Sports Meet, in which Lee speaks to the crowd and contestants. After, Shizune presents the first event: the foot race. Lee and Naruto compete, but the race ends in Lee's defeat. Lee continues to lose and another event is called: a scavenger hunt. Each competing individual takes a slip of paper that reads their assigned object or thing to find. Several people are frustrated with their objects like Neji and Lee is assigned to find a "sweet devil". The other contestants look for their own things including Naruto who approaches Sakura. This results in her attacking him. She calls for medical aid while everyone questions what was on Naruto's paper.

Lee and Naruto battle
The scavenger hunt is cancelled due to Hinata Hyūga's injury and several other events are started. Finally, the final event is announced, in which teams will fight to steal other team's hats. Neji fails to appear and Lee is warned by Tenten, who tells him to be extra careful because of their team's shortage of members. Their team is immediately surrounded, but Lee manages to defeat them. Finally, only two teams remain: Naruto and Lee's. The two face off, and Neji appears with e ghost that he had been assigned to find during the scavenger hunt. This shocks Lee, and because of this, he hits Naruto. Naruto falls to the ground and his hat falls, making Lee the winner. At the event's end, Lee remembers Guy telling him the importance of comrades. Both Lee and Naruto vow to do better in the future with their friends.
