The Hidden Leaf Village is holding a sports meet! Lee is called upon to read the Athlete's Pledge of Fair Play, but screws up in front of the entire stadium. Hoping to save face, he swears to outperform everyone at every event. Will Guy-sensei's advice of "be confident and you'll win every time" awaken a well-intentioned demon within Lee?

The ninjas of the Hidden Leaf are being tested on their combat skills, and Team Guy must win a match against their sensei in order to pass. Neji and Tenten succeed using their special moves, but how will Lee stand up to Guy-sensei's Morning Peacock?
