While Team Guy and Shira converse each other and like Lee who trains to learn taijutsu hard, Shira abandoned the academy and does the same thing before Sen and Yome befriend him and Gaara trained Shira. Lee shortly leaves and confronts Team Goji before Neji and Tenten arrive to fight them, but Shira intervenes and gives the Earth scroll to Goji in exchange for the Heaven. As Team Goji trusts them and leaves, Lee challenges Shira to fight.
