Full Plot Summary

spoilers

Might Guy tells Naruto of the time he gave Lee "visualization" training following an incident he didn't clearly remember except a severe apology to a restaurant owner for damages to the establishment. With a blurred memory, he improvised training techniques that Lee believed would rejog muscle memory off a list of circled items on a menu he took from the restaurant. With the last entry being alcohol, Guy tries to avoid having Lee learn the Drunken Fist fighting style by instead having them train on a boat in rough waters. Like Guy, Lee also suffers from seasickness but is able to balance himself on the boat, a feat which resembles Drunken Fist. During an emotional soul-baring moment from Lee, Guy remembers Lee devastating the restaurant in an accidental drunken state when protecting Guy from a drunk trying to dine and ditch. After he and Lee make amends, Guy helps Lee develop the Sea-Sick Fist and is confident that Lee will one day overcome his seasickness to master the technique. Naruto pokes holes into the practical use of the Sea-Sick Fist.
