[To anyone who didn't know Lee, it was probably not a very endearing description but there's no malice behind his words. Clearly Naruto liked the other teen and considered him a friend despite the fact that they've only been friends for a couple of years (and for most of it, Naruto had been traveling).] Yeah, he's a good guy. If you ever need someone to watch your back, you can count on Bushybrows.
[They've been training since they were kids so it's really no surprise that they can carry around an entire other person. Lee, though, Lee was so different from the rest of them. He had to rely on his physical capabilities because he couldn't mold chakra to save his life - literally. If it were the older teen rather than Naruto here - he'd be holding them both up with sheer strength alone.]
Don't worry about it, you might be able to help in other ways.
[Everyone had different capabilities. Maybe once they got out of this predicament, she could answer his questions and help find a way out of this place entirely. Surely this can't be all there is to this world.
With her hanging on, Naruto doesn't feel too worried about her falling yet his arms encircle her. Yuri might not be able to see what he's doing but he's clearly not holding on to her. Instead there's a "poof" sound along with a hint of smoke. Then suddenly there's an exact duplicate of Naruto above them also pressed into the chute.
If Yuri was to get any memory from his life, it would be one of Lee considering they've been talking about the guy and as such - he's on Naruto's mind. Lee attempting to give a piggyback ride to a long-haired male while another, older man who looks almost exactly like him, carries a full grown adult on his back. The long haired teen flat-out declines with gusto.]
Let's go. [He tells the clone and the clone starts moving. Naruto shifts his back away from the walk and crouches. It may be awkward walking up the chute in such a crouched position but it's impossible to stand up straight.]
I'm Uzumaki Naruto! Any friend of his is a friend of mine. [Just like that, they're friends. But even though it's dim in here and she might not see it, Naruto gives her a huge grin.]
