Ep. 25: Gaara's First Date! / A gift from Orochimaru
Aired on September 18, 2012
Lee observes that the kanji on Gaara's forehead has shifted from "Love" to "Romance," leading him to believe the Kazekage is infatuated with someone. He attempts to identify the mysterious person, mistakenly suspecting Neji is cross-dressing. In truth, the individual is Orochimaru in disguise who simply confused the characters. As a result, Lee receives a booby-trapped watch from Orochimaru that detonates under specific conditions: if he ceases training, if Neji wears women's clothing, or if Tenten overreacts.
