Being in new places wasn't something Yugito wasn't entirely unfamiliar with, but when it's somewhere she can't place on a map? That's when she starts almost panicking, even if it's a completely inward thing. A light hiss slipped past her lips, mind distracted as she conversed back and forth with Matatabi on their situation and location. Not getting the answer she'd been looking for from her partner she paused, attention focusing on the area at large, body tense and ready to strike at any semblance of a threat.

Great, just great. This felt like a trap just waiting to be sprung on her, knowing that she was a large target by herself. It came with the territory of being the head of Kumo and of course being a host, even if she didn't speak or act much on the matter anymore. Silence, secrecy, that was the best way to keep her from falling into the same fate a certain friend of her's had so many years back.

There were no chakra signals for her to pick up on just yet, nothing that seemed to pose a threat. Even then she didn't allow her guard to fall, moving forward slowly and carefully as she did. Matatabi was a constant background noise for her by now and the voice of reason, but even then the nekomata was just as concerned and on guard as she was.

The woman had gotten his attention on his first pass through the village on his laps, but when she was still more or less in the same spot several laps later, he decided to take action. One must not leave a distressed maiden unaided!

On his next pass he detoured and hopped off a roof, landing right in front of her with a beaming smile.

"Kumo-nin-san! You seem to be in distress, is there any way of which I might aid you?"

Unluckily for Lee was the fact that she was on high alert about pretty much everything, having just come from a war herself. Landing in front of her was probably not the best of ideas, quickly pulling herself from defense to attack stance. The words hadn't quite registered in her mind just yet, taking to her go-to of making her nails grow and become much like Matatabi's, lunging forward to take a well aimed swipe at his face or neck initially.

Or, well, that was what she tried to do, she sincerely doubted that he'd actually stand there and take it.

He leaned back and then hopped to the side eyes widening as he retreated, working just to be out of her way. "While that is a passionate reaction, I do not believe this is the place for a spar Kumo-nin-san!"

Figures that he would move, that he wouldn't make an attack easy. While she was shifting to change directions for another lunge she paused, eyes falling on the hitai-ate about his waist.

Konoha.

Well, that changed things a bit. Shifting to stand straight again and returning her nails to normal she couldn't help the smallest bit of a laugh. Woops.

"Aah, sorry. A bit... on the edge about things recently, being put somewhere I don't know really doesn't help that." A brief pause after her words, tilting her head at him. "You really don't know who I am?"

He straightened up with a sheepish smile when it seemed that she was finished attacking. "I would never forget a beautiful blossom in the prime of her glorious power! So... no, I do not believe we have met!"

Now that was certainly an intro, she'd give him that much. Hiding a laugh behind her hand she stretched a bit just to get a crick out of her back before continuing on with her speaking.

"Prime of my power, huh? Can't say that much. However, I'm Yugito, the Raikage of that lovely village I'm from." You know, lovely if you don't mind dealing with the strangest of types. But that's really beyond the point anymore.

He blinked a couple times, then, if anything, he smiled more brightly. "You would be the third- no! I am mistaken! Fourth Kage to come to Michi no Sato! I am Rock Lee, and it is my great pleasure to meet you Yugito-sama! Do you have questions that I may answer and set your mind at ease?"
