(What would be Chapter 1 of goddess love, This is the before story, a very long one)

Once upon a time there was 4 Goddess without the knowing that there was 5th as well, who were ninjas for the time being and didn't know they were Goddess' until something magical and mysterious happened...

Normal POV

4 Best friends, who graduated from the Academy 5 months earlier and were introduced to their team along with spending some time with them and going on missions with them, are now sitting at the top of the Hokage monument watching the sunset disappear into the horizon. The sky now is pink, orange, purple and dark blue due to near night time and it's quiet breezy but it's still warm. The 4 best friends met each other at the age of 5 at the park. These best friends were Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga and Tenten.

"Konohagakure looks so peaceful" Tenten mused watching as the lights turned on at the streets.

"I know and it always clears my mind" Ino said looking down to the Academy.

"It always calms me down when I get too over emotional" Sakura said peacefully looking at the sunset and birds that flew in front of it.

"I know it always makes me wonder what the next day would be like" Hinata said in a quiet tone. She grew out of stuttering after spending some time with the girls and they showed her how to be confident.

"Ne, what do you think of your team?" Ino asked the other giving them a side glance than went back to watching the Academy.

"Lee and Guy-sensei always say youth in like every sentence and Neji... he talks about destiny the whole time like 'It's your destiny to do this' and 'It's your destiny to do that' seriously!" Tenten said and making her voice like a chipmunk when she talks about destiny.

"Kiba-kun is nice and kind with me and Shino-kun is really quiet and mysterious. Kurenai-sensei is at least interested in my abilities and she is like my mother" Hinata said having a soft smile on her face.

"Shika is always lazy just lying there and watching the clouds and he keeps saying troublesome. Choji never stops eating and is really kind to me.….like a brother I never had. Asuma-sensei is smoking all the time and I never saw him not smoking. And to add to that I know he has a crush on Kurenai-sensei!" Ino said grinning widely.

"Kakashi-sensei is pervert and reads this book called 'Icha Icha' plus he didn't tell us anything about himself except his name. Naruto-baka is too loud and keeps talking about him going to be Hokage one day and ramen. Sasuke-kun is quiet and always say 'hn' and he talks to Naruto-baka mostly because he is his best friend. He barely acknowledges me. I'm like the 4th wheel here already on the fifth month." Sakura replied sadly and let a lonely tear escape her left eye.

Tenten being next to her noticed this and said "Don't worry Kura. If you feel like a 4th wheel there then don't feel like that with us because you are involved in our group. We all trust you and tell you everything. Every embarrassing moments and every little secret we have. Even our crushes! So don't feel sad okay?" She put an arm around Sakura's shoulder.

"I am already considered weak by my team. So are Ino and Hinata"

Ino and Hinata smiled at Sakura kindly to make her feel better and it worked really much when she smiled a tiny smile but it was still a smile. Sakura giggled.

"What's so funny Billboard Brow?" Ino asked confused

"Why don't we name our group so we would be known, ne?" Sakura replied giving a wide grin

"That's a good idea Saku!" Hinata said, her eyes filled with happiness.

All of them went into a thinking face and came up with various names.

"How about Hikari?" Hinata asked, looking at the sunset

"Um...maybe let's get more ideas first" Tenten said

"Maybe... Flower Girls?" Ino asked and they all looked at her weirdly

"Ne, maybe just a simple name would be fine. Like... Kunoichi?" Sakura said having a soft smile on her face

All of them stopped thinking then and looked at Sakura slowly with a blank face then..

3...

2...

1...

They all broke into a wide grin and said loudly

"HAI"

"Maybe we can add that to our outfit to show others that we are a group because we aren't seen together lately." Hinata stated a matter-of-factly

"Let's go. The clothes don't make their selves" Ino broke through the silence

They all nodded their heads with big smiles and took off.

They were discussing their thoughts about their new idea at their own house they bought when they were younger. All of them lived together around Central Konoha and Sakura asked Hiashi to get permission for Hinata to live with them. If you call saying death threats, scaring the family with the shadows and showing Inner Sakura talking her mind asking.

"I got no training tomorrow. Kakashi-sensei is training the boys." Sakura said sadly while tears gathered in her Emerald Green eyes but she forced them back by a hard blink.

"Same" Tenten said, disappointment flashing in her Chocolate Brown orbs but disappeared just as quickly.

"Ditto" Ino replied, hurt showing clearly in her Baby Blue ones.

"Me too" Hinata agreed while betrayal can be seen in her Pearly White orbs.

"No time mourning for the boys. They will meet the new Sakura, Ino, Hinata and Tenten in a few days time" Sakura said while smirking evilly but then turned innocent again.

Tenten smirked back. Ino flashed a smile and Hinata's eyes had an evil glint in them before they too, turned back into complete angels once again.

"Okay what colours do we all like"

"I personally like Purple, Blue, Red, Peach and Green" Sakura said while staring at the ceiling of their living room.

"I like Blue, Purple, Peach and Yellow" Tenten said while she was going around looking for the make-up.

"I like Blue, Cream and Peach" Hinata said, twiddling her fingers in a shy way

"I like Purple, Peach and Blue" Ino said while fiddling with her elbow warmers.

"Okay so the colours we all like are Blue and Peach" Sakura answered while going for the nail polish.

"Yes. Now let's look for the necessaries" With that said, they all went to look for anything with blue and peach colour.

Sakura found Baby Blue, Dark Blue, Ocean Blue and Baby Pink (that some people mistake it for peach) nail polish.

Ino found some Baby Blue coloured decorative jewels.

Hinata found Peach coloured fabric with Baby Blue swirls pattern.

Tenten found black eye liner and Peach coloured bandages.

"Okay so we can paint our nails, put on some decorative jewels, eye liner, bandages and a new headband" Ino concluded while the others nodded and looked at their collectives.

'If we found all these... there is no telling that we have any more colours around here'

"Does every one of you have anything Light Blue?" Sakura asked them all

"Hai" They all answered while nodding

"We all have the same training outfits in that colour" Hinata spoke without the stutter. She only stuttered around the boys but not with the girls who are actually her Half-Sisters.

"Good. We'll show them who's the boss. We are starting training tomorrow morning" Tenten said with confidence

The others nodded, bid good night and went to sleep.

Morning

CRACK!

THUNK!

THUNK!

More than 50 trees were either cut, fallen or destroyed, a huge crack in the ground and moving shadows were displayed.

Nobody knew, but Sakura was blessed with the power of controlling shadows as if they were her own arms and legs. Just one command in the brain and the shadows do what Sakura wants them to do.

Tenten was blessed to be able to talk to nature. This is a good thing for she can speak to them and find anything and anyone anywhere there are plants and trees.

Hinata can turn into either water or air, which gives her the advantage to sneak onto her opponents.

Ino, with her clan's 'Mind Switching Technique', developed this jutsu even more so now she actually stay conscious but her mind goes into her opponent's and makes them confused and unfocused.

With her hands in the tiger seal, Sakura cried out "Katon: Onidōrō" Several circles appeared around her as fireballs with the shape of a demon floated with ease and then they all aimed at Tenten.

Tenten had different plans however and instead said in a quiet whisper "Suiton: Seiryūshō" A big blast of water irrupted from her palm and headed straight for the approaching demon lanterns.

Some demons escaped and went straight towards the trees, which were set on fire at once they touched.

Sakura sighed while bowing her head.

'Not good enough. NEVER good enough'

Ino rushed towards Hinata and just before she got 2 feet near Hinata, she disappeared into purple petals. She then appears behind Hinata and throws an explosive tag at her. Hinata, having already her Byakugan activated saw it coming, but then she whispered "Kaiten" and spun around while a blue chakra shield appeared around her and it threw the useless explosive tag away.

'Kekkei Genkai is so useful for some people'

"GIRLS!" An urgent woman's voice, which they recognised as Shizune's, screamed out.

"You were summoned for the Hokage's Tower immediately."

With that said, they ran out of the forest, down the streets and along the familiar path that goes to the Hokage's Tower.

KNOCK KNOCK

Sakura pushed the door open after hearing the firm "Come In" and went into the room with Ino, Hinata and Tenten trailing after her. They bowed deeply "Tsunade-sama"

The woman before them knew how their team treated them and she has done everything to make it work better, but the boys were just stubborn as a donkey and the information that their female counterpart is suffering doesn't get into their heads.

"I tried all the ideas I had with the boys but they just can't get the message. So I sent them all on a 3 year long mission. When they come back they will see how much you lot have grown" Tsunade said proudly

She has seen them train before and was quiet impressed so she took them under her wing. She taught Sakura how to be a medical ninja, Tenten how to summon the weapons, Hinata how to develop a new jutsu with the Byakugan and taught Ino how to stay conscious throughout her clan's technique.

They were like the perfect daughters she never had.

"Here, I have something to give to you" Tsunade then proceeded to reach into her top draw, where she got out an old wooden box of what seemed like Cherry Wood and gently smoothed her hand down the dusty surface. She then opened it to reveal 5 golden chains attached to the top while 5 pendants rested on a golden cushion. The sunlight hit the pendants and it created a rainbow effect.

"These pendants belonged to the past Goddess of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and Light. Pele was the Goddess of Fire, Tethys was the Goddess of the Sea, Gaia was the Goddess of Earth, Zephyr was the Goddess of Wind and Theia was the Goddess of Light. This all they have left behind for the next generation. Which is you" At the last sentence, the girls thought that all the air was sucked out of their bodies. Next Generation... Next Generation... Next Generation... was all their mind could think of.

"So.. We are the new Goddesses?" Ino asked breathlessly

Tsunade just nodded her head with a smile.

"Wow" "Uh, Ok?" "Good God" "Never thought so" Tenten whispered, Hinata squeaked, Sakura breathed and Ino said in union.

Tsunade smirked. "Sakura, step up for me" Sakura walked over to Tsunade while the latter took a golden chain and attached the big Fire Flame shaped Garnet pendant. She then gently clipped it around Sakura's neck. Sakura bowed and wordlessly lined back up between Tenten and Ino, who admired the necklace.

"Hinata"

Hinata stepped up while Tsunade got the second chain out and the big Droplet shaped Azure pendant. She attached the two and clipped it on Hinata's neck. Hinata bowed and moved next to Tenten.

"Ino"

Ino moved to stand in front of the Hokage. Tsunade got the third golden chain out and the star shaped Citrine pendant. She attached them and clipped it around Ino's neck. Ino admired the stone while she bowed and moved to stand next to Sakura.

"And Tenten"

Tsunade got the second last golden chain out with a maple leaf shaped Emerald pendant. She clipped them around Tenten's neck while the latter bowed and went to stand between Hinata and Sakura.

The pendants reached just below the each girl's breasts while the chain travelled down between the twin mounds. Because the pendants were bid, they had weight and it outlined the shape of their chests.

"The stones on the pendants hold the powers of the elements it represent and you must protect it. It should never fall into the wrong hands. If they do, the whole world could be wiped out in 10 seconds flat" Tsunade spoke.

"Um, Tsunade-sama?" Hinata meekly asked

"Hm?"

"Why are there 5 pendants instead of 4?"

Tsunade smirked and got a map of the 5 Great Nations out from her draw. She spread it out while she pointed to the country that said 'Wind Country'

"There is a girl in Sunagakure that is the last Goddess. The Goddess of Wind. Currently she is being talked to back in the desert and by now she would be expecting you"

"Just a guess, Is it Temari?" Tenten asked eagerly

"Yes it is her"

Sakura and Tenten squealed, Hinata smiled widely while Ino was just grumpy. She didn't like Temari that much since she introduced Shikamaru to her.

"You mission is supposed to be a D-Rank but because you are going unprotected and with a great power, it will be changed into a B-Rank. You are to escort Temari here safe and sound." Tsunade explained while looking at each of the girls "Sakura, I entrust you to take this box with the last pendant and keep it safe. Tenten, you are the leader of this mission, Understood?" Everyone nodded as Sakura tucked the box out of Tsunade's outstretched hands.

"That is all. Dismissed"

They went home and into their separate rooms.

Since this whole thing of the 'team ignorance' they changed their clothing styles. Sakura and Tenten wore the Baby Pink nail polish, while Ino and Hinata wore the Baby Blue one. The clothes they wore before if they are not Peach or Blue, they burned it.

The outfits from before had different colours so they changed it.

Sakura's dress style remained the same, but it was now a Light Pink. Her shorts remained the same black, they all agreed that black would be accepted, and her ninja sandals were the same. Her hair, instead of having it loose, she tied it up into a high ponytail and it was being held up with a Baby Blue ribbon also she cut her long bangs until they only went down to her eyes. Her forehead protector remained the Dark Blue it usually was but it was now kept on her forehead.

Ino's outfit went from Purple to Baby Blue. The bandages became Peach coloured and her ninja sandals were the same blue. Her hair was still up in that high ponytail but she had the Baby Blue ribbon holding it back. Her bangs were cut to only go down to her forehead with a little curl. Her forehead protector was around her forehead as well.

Tenten's shirt remained the same, being Peach or Light Pink coloured, and her pants became black. Her ninja sandals were the same blue and so was her forehead protector which she still kept around her forehead. Her twin buns on her head were tied back with a Light Pink ribbon.

Hinata's jacket became Baby Blue while her pants were black. Her ninja sandals were the same blue as well. Her forehead protector was now on her forehead while her bangs were pulled back with a Baby Blue silk headband.

Black stars were drawn under their eyes. On the back of their shirts, they all wore a Black 'K' letter with a yellow sun behind it and the leaf sign on the sun rays.

Sakura was the one to be done first, so she went outside and waited for the others to get ready. 2 minutes later Tenten and Hinata came out from the door and now they were only waiting for Ino to come out. She did come out, 10 minutes later. They all looked at her with annoyed expressions but Ino just blinked at them innocently. Tenten sighed and started going on the familiar streets which led to the Village Entrance. Sakura followed suit with Hinata and Ino hot on her heels.

"Ne I think someone will get pretty happy when we get to Suna!" Ino chirped

Sakura, Tenten and Hinata looked at her. Ino just grinned like Cheshire Cat pointedly towards Sakura. Hinata and Tenten caught on pretty quickly and they grinned at Sakura just as much.

"What?"

"Gaara is so going to squeeze you alive in a hug!" Tenten giggled into her hand

Sakura blushed but managed to put on an bored expression. "So what?"

The 3 just looked innocent and continued on towards the gates. Sakura sighed and followed short after.

At the gates, Sakura saw how much shadow it creates and suddenly got an idea. "Hey, instead of running why don't we fly?"

Ino, Hinata and Tenten looked at her as if she was crazy but Sakura just smirked and pointed a finger at the shadows. It moved and became 2 large birds. When they were standing, they were as tall as the girls. The rest of the girls stared at them in awe.

"Come on! Temari is waiting!" Sakura then jumped onto one of the birds and straddled it. Hinata came up and climbed behind her, her arms holding Sakura's waist. Tenten immediately ran to the other one and sat on it. Ino went behind her and attached her arms around Tenten's waist.

"Ready?" Tenten asked everyone

"Hai"

The two birds gave a screeching sound and with one flap of it's wings, it took off into the clear blue sky.

(What would be chapter 2 in goddess love)

The trip towards the desert was a little difficult in the Wind Territory when big sand storms threatened to travel higher into the air and attack if needed. The birds were constantly swaying in the air but Sakura concentrated on keeping them still. Hinata had taken her place at the front while Sakura had her hands in the tiger seal and had her eyes closed in concentration. It was rather a ticklish feeling of having the shadow bird vibrate, with the chakra Sakura was giving off, under them.

In total, they have been flying for 4 days. It would have taken a week by running non-stop. Suna's heat was unbearable on the sand but up in the air with the whistling wind, it was a little cooler to travel with.

"I see the buildings up ahead!" Ino squealed while pointing in front of her with one hand while the other still clenched Tenten's waist for protection. The sandy brown round buildings were still small from this height and the distance.

"Oi Kura! We don't need the birds any more! We are full on chakra and we can run for the last minutes!" Tenten shouted over the wind

Sakura nodded and commanded the birds to disappear. They jumped off them and dropped through the air until they hit the ground. They gathered chakra into their feet and started to run North, where the sunset outlined the buildings' shapes. At the entrance of the village, they were stopped by the guards who were about to demand what they business are here until they noticed the necklaces around the girls' neck and the leaf symbol on their forehead protector. They bowed and apologised for they thought they were enemies and that the Sand Siblings were waiting for them.

They sped off towards the Kazekage Tower, where they knew they could find Temari, simply because she was giving off a killing intent.

Finally arriving at Tower, they went through the entrance and walked down the hallway towards the room on the far end.

"Knock Knock can we come in?" Tenten asked jokingly while opening the door that separated them from Temari and her two brothers. The killing intent almost immediately disappeared when Tenten entered, followed by a joyous Sakura and a smiling Hinata, with a scowling Ino came in shortly after.

"GUYS!" Temari uncharacteristically squealed while jumping to give them all a hug, surprising Ino. Kankuro and Gaara sweat-dropped at the scene, but nobody can miss the slightly softer expression Gaara has upon his face once he laid his eyes on Sakura.

The girls blinked at the attention they were getting but they all had a happy expression on their faces, even Ino who was scowling before. When Temari released them from her group hug, Sakura caught Gaara looking at her and her expression became even more happier, if that was possible.

"PANDA-CHAN!"

Poor Gaara didn't have time to react before he was nearly crushed in Sakura's suffocating hug. Her expression clearly said If-you-decline-my-hug-you-will-go-through-hell-and-back-even-if-you-are-like-a-brother-to-me. He didn't dare open his lips to utter a single word out, even though he gave a choking sound when he was attacked with the tight hug.

Kankuro tried to suppress his laughter but Tenten caught him and he suffered the same fate as his little brother. "PUPPET-CHAN!" Even if Tenten's expression said the same as Sakura's, he cried out and waved his arms around like a chibi. The rest of the people who weren't involved with this (Temari, Hinata and Ino) had a big anime sweat-drop around their head.

"Hmwep mwe" Gaara's voice was inaudible from the hug Sakura was giving him. Temari laughed and said "Come on you guys, I don't want to be an only child any time soon!" To which Ino and Hinata laughed too.

Tenten and Sakura just released the guys (the boys both gasping for much needed air) and looked at Temari with glossy eyes and trembling lower lips, their speciality: The Puppy Eyes. Nobody ever denied this look before.

Temari just shook her head, causing Tenten and Sakura to cry anime waterfalls. To stop them crying, Gaara and Kankuro hugged them. It actually worked.

"Um, Girls? We should give it to Temari" Ino said. The sentence brought Sakura and Tenten back to reality and they stepped out of Kankuro's and Gaara's protective hugs.

"We can go to my room" Temari said while she opened the room and walked out and into the hallway.

Her door was dark green that complimented her eyes well. Inside, her walls were Cream Colour and the floor was made of oak. Sakura and Temari sat their selves on the bed, while Ino, Hinata and Tenten occupied the rest of the seating places.

Sakura reached behind her back and grabbed her kunai pouch. She set it on her lap and began searching for the cherry wooded box. When she found it, she took it out and set it between her and Temari. Said girl looked at it curiously. Complying to Temari's silent wish, Sakura opened the box to reveal a single golden chain clipped onto the lid and a pendant. This pendant was the shape of a wind type of swirl and it was a Fluorite gemstone. Sakura attached the two together and clipped it around Temari's neck.

"I think you know what this is about" Tenten stated seriously

Temari nodded as an answer and became cheeky again.

"So? What's with the style of clothing?"

Temari seriously ment it as a joke, but when she saw the anger, the betrayal and the evilness in the girls' eyes, she knew something was up.

Sakura smirked evilly, Hinata smiled a sweet / evil way, Ino grinned crazily and Tenten had an evil glint in her eyes.

"Our team started ignoring us. Our senseis only payed attention to them. Now, we will get our revenge" Hinata spoke with no emotion all the while her sweet / evil smile never leaving her face.

"O... kay?" Temari was dumbfounded. She never knew that the boys would betray her friends like that. She knows who is who's teammate and when Hinata said that 'their' team started ignoring them, she knew that all the boys did so. Shikamaru too. Whenever she saw the teams with her friends, she saw them be happy and just be there. Not ignoring and leaving. It was just not fair on the girls. What did they ever do to the boys to deserve this?

"Eh. Okay who is what element's Goddess?" Temari asked, curiousity returning.

"I'm the Goddess of Ka. (Fire)" Sakura stated, gesturing towards her pendant.

"I understand. You do have a bad temper" Temari joked, which Sakura took notice of, and she decided against hitting her friend. Normally, she would hit anyone who would say something about her bad temper.

"I'm the Goddess of Chi. (Earth)" Tenten said.

"Yep. You were obsessed with Nature when you were little" To which Tenten grinned at.

"I'm the Goddess of Sui. (Water)" Hinata piped up.

"Well, you are calm" Hinata smiled.

"I'm the Goddess of Hikari. (Light)" Ino said

"Yes. You actually shine most of the time" Ino nodded.

"Well then I guess I'm the Goddess of Fū. (Wind)" Temari announced happily, to which the Kunoichi laughed at. Temari joined in with the laughing. She felt at ease with these girls.

A knock on the door made them stop laughing. Temari sighed. "Come in!"

The door opened to reveal the Third Kazekage, also known as Temari's father. His face was emotionless as he spoke. "The Land of Oni is waiting for you to arrive" He then left.

"Land of Oni (Demon)?" Ino asked confused

"I heard it's called that because that is where the demons live" Tenten said

"But we aren't demons!" Hinata ground out

"We are considered one now that the spirit of the Goddess' are with us" Sakura piped up from Temari's bed.

This caused silence among the Kunoichi and Temari. They were not sure how much time they spent in silence but they knew that it was quite a long time once they looked through the window and saw it was dark outside and the night sky was lit up with bright stars.

"You can stay the night. We pack tomorrow, get back to Konoha and then we go to the Land of Oni." Temari said with sleepiness. The rest nodded and settled down on the seats they all occupied.

They will need a good night's rest...

Becuase they still need to get ready to go to the Land Demons.

(What would be chapter 3 of goddess love)

The sun blinked over the mountains of Sunagakure, sending a silent message to everyone, informing them that a new day has just begun.

A pair of glazed over chocolate brown eyes opened and was shut again from the harsh sunlight. A fisted hand rubbed the sleep out of them before the silhouette sat up and stretched her aching body. Maybe sleeping on the comfy looking chair was not such a good idea. Tenten yawned and last night's events came back to her.

The trip to Suna.

Kankuro's protective hug.

Temari's necklace.

The message from the Land of Oni.

At the last thought, Tenten wasn't so sleepy anymore. Shaking the others awake, she only had to wait a few seconds for their brains to function again and then Ino, Hinata, Sakura and Temari ran around the room gathering things like crazy. Tenten just had a sweat-drop.

Sakura stopped though, finally realizing that she didn't have anything to pack because this wasn't her home. Seeing what she has done, Sakura paled, swooned, then promptly dropped anime style.

A sharp cough distracted the other frantically searching women in the room and all of them looked towards the doorway to see Gaara and Kankuro looking at them with amused faces.

Sakura made the shadow rise from under her and she threateningly showed it to the 2 boys while her appearance changed to that of Inner Sakura's. Her hair became black, her skin paper white, white eyes with black pupils and black outer eye. "You say something about this and you're as good as dead."

The threat did get through their heads and the boys cowered away from the she-devil aka: Inner Sakura. Gaara was sure that Sakura was the devil disguised as an angel. Same with the other girls.

Inner Sakura sighed. She had done her job on threatening the now chibi men. Returning back to normal, Sakura let herself fall to the floor with her legs outstretched in front of her.

"When do we need to depart to Konoha?" Temari asked with a delicate blond eyebrow raised.

"In an hour. Get ready lady Goddesses" Kankuro jokingly bowed but Temari punched him on the head. He cried anime tears as he held the big pink bruise that grew from his head.

"Get out. NOW!" Temari raised her voice at the end and Gaara and Kankuro didn't wait one second to follow these orders. The group of girls burst out laughing while they gathered Temari's necesaries.

"How long do we have left?" Hinata asked as she sat down on Temari's bed.

"Eh? About... 10 minutes" Temari replied as she looked at her alarm clock on her nightstand.

"It takes 7 minutes to get to the gates. Might as well go early" Tenten said from her place, leaning against the wall and looking out the window.

"Let's go then!" Ino exclaimed as she was already at the door with her hands on her hips.

The 4 others sighed and went to get to the gates in time to say their goodbye's to Gaara and Kankuro; and they were off to Konohagakure, then to the Land of Oni.

With Konoha 12 Boys and the 4 Senseis

They were sent out for a long term mission. They were to go to the other ninja villages and form an alliance.

"What do you think the girls will look like when we go back?" Kiba Inuzuka asked as his companion, Akamaru, barked in question.

"Hn. They could look like anything but they would still need to be protected" Sasuke Uchiha spoke with an emotionless tone.

"Hn. Agreed" Neji Hyuuga said coldly.

And this was what they thought of them now... but in a few years time, it would be quiet the opposite.
