Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Nor do I own this story as the original idea belongs to MasterO'Badgers17.

Normal Taking "blah blah blah"

Thinking 'blah blah blah'

This story takes place before Sasuke ran off to the Sound. So it would be after Tsunade became hokage. I like this time because I find it easier to write when Naruto is young because he has a lot more fun adventures that an author can twist and turn in their likings. This is a NaruTen story with sides of NaruSaku and NejiTen.

A/N: I have taken on the task of finishing this story for MasterO'Badgers17. I really liked this story and wanted it to have an ending, and he and I agreed to finish this story for all of those like me that were curious as to the story's conclusion. These first few chapters are mainly reposts with some differences but nothing major. After that the story begins to get to the more difficult stuff, so bear with me as I try to do this story justice.

The Little Green Vial

Chapter 1: Romance on a Whim

Naruto was walking towards Gai-sensei's team for some extra training with the biggest smile anyone has ever seen, ignoring the massive glares sent by a certain few villagers, admiring his own improvement through the last month training with Team Gai. He had just beaten Sasuke in a taijutsu spar. Needless to say Kakashi was speechless, Sakura pissed, and Sasuke quenching for more power. They all thought at the same time 'How did Naruto get so good in taijutsu?'

How he increased his ability was simple. Even though he could take down many average-everyday ninjas with just the use of his two best jutsu The Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)and Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere),his taijutsu was below average. Any fast ninja could run circles around him and defeat him, so he had to improve himself. He eventually struck upon the random thought of finding a different sensei. Sure his new training partners got off on a strange start but it was one of the most memorable days of Naruto's life.

Flashback (One Month Ago)

Naruto was currently sitting on top of a green hill patting his stomach after he ingested 15 bowls of ramen. "Hmm… I was so close to getting Sakura-chan to go on a date with me." He said out loud "That poem practically had hearts in her eyes until she read the end, and then I got a fist on my head."

'I was so close to beating Sasuke-teme in a spar today' he thought to himself 'If only Kakashi-sensei taught me more, he always teaches Sasuke.' The boy thought as he sighed a deep breath and looked up at the sky. A green blur was seen sprinting up the hill towards him.

"OHAYO! NARUTO-KUN!" Lee shouted as he ran up the hill at insane speeds.

"Oh, hey fuzzy-brows." Naruto said with no enthusiasm in his voice.

"Naruto-kun, why so low?" Lee asked.

"I lost to Sasuke in another taijutsu spar because Kakashi sensei is always teaching him and said that there is no hope on improving my taijutsu." Naruto responded.

"MOST UNYOUTHFUL WE MUST TELL GAI-SENSEI! I BELEVIE WE CAN PEFECT YOUR TAIJUTSU YET!" Lee yelled as he grabbed Naruto's arm running to his training ground dragging Naruto behind him over very sharp rocks.

Naruto walked into Training ground 4 with Lee, hoping to find a new sensei. There they found Neji meditating, Tenten hitting a dummy with some nun chucks, and Gai was pounding a large oak tree into splinters.

"Gai-sensei!" Lee called out to the Jounin.

Gai threw one more punch at the tree in slow motion, the moment it connected to the tree it shattered into splinters. He turned around and saw Lee and Naruto coming up to him. "Lee-kun, Naruto-kun! What brings you here?" The exuberant Jounin asked.

"Naruto-kun has to ask you something!" Lee shouted while pushing Naruto closer to Gai.

"I, uh umm… need," Naruto started. 'Those eyebrows so… disgusting can't concentrate' "I need to… ahhh." He mumbled the last part.

"What? Naruto-kun?" Gai asked looking at the blonde with a confused expression on his face.

Naruto took a deep dreath and said "I need you to train me in taijutsu." He closed his eyes to await Gai's answer and found that he didn't have to wait for too long as he heard the Jounin's loud voice respond.

"WHY OF COURSE I'LL TRAIN YOU NARUTO-KUN!" Gai responded in his usual loud voice. "But why me, doesn't my eternal rival train you?" Gai asked with seriousness in his voice.

"Kakashi-sensei said my taijutsu has no hope for improving, yet he continues to put me in sparring matches with Sasuke knowing that I'll lose." Naruto responded with a sad tone.

"THAT IS MOST UNYOUTHFUL! I MUST TALK TO HIM AT ONCE!" Gai screamed preparing to Shunshin away.

"WAIT!" yelled Naruto grapping onto his arm. "Don't tell kakashi-sensei!"

"Why?" Gai asked clearly not understanding the blonde's reasoning.

"If Kakashi-sensei thinks that my taijutsu is hopeless, just imagine the surprise on his face when I beat Sasuke!" Naruto said with that usual enthusiasm of his.

"THAT IS MOST UNYOUTHFUL BUT VERY WORTHY PUNISHENT FOR KAKASHI! I AGREE I WILL TEACH YOU IN THE WAYS OF TAIJUTSU BEFORE KAKASHI ARRIVES FOR YOUR TEAM'S TRAINING!" Gai screamed.

Flashback End

Tenten POV

"Ahh!" Tenten said as she got up stretching from her nap. The girl quickly got out of bed and grabbed her things. 'I have to get back to training with Neji and Whisker face.' She thought as she rushed out of her house. 'Hmm…Whisker-face, I can't believe I used to call him Naruto-kun.' Tenten thought as she began walking through the streets of Konoha. 'I remember how the name calling happened, it was so his fault.'

Flashback (3 weeks ago)

After a joint mission between Team 7 and Team Gai

Walking back to Konoha

As usual, Kakashi was reading his usual porn "Icha Icha Paradise," Sasuke was brooding about something, Sakura was blushing while staring at Sasuke's backside, Gai and Lee were discussing the flames of youth, and Tenten and Naruto were arguing about the mission.

"The client almost got killed because of your carelessness Naruto-kun!" Tenten yelled.

"What are you talking about Tenten-chan?! You weren't paying attention!" Naruto yelled back.

"What?! Your kunai almost hit the client!" Tenten responded looking the blonde in the eyes.

"It was an accident, and I was deflecting a kunai that was aimed at you!" Naruto yelled back with equal ferocity.

"There was no such kunai!" Tenten yelled.

"Of course you didn't see it, because you weren't paying attention!" Naruto responded.

"I always pay attention!" Tenten said angered at the thought of being called non-observant.

"Well, you didn't pay attention this time." Naruto said.

"Yes I did!" Tenten said.

"No you didn't!" Naruto responded.

"Yes I did!" Tenten said growing increasingly angry at the blonde.

"No you didn't!" Naruto yelled at the brunette kunoichi.

"YES I DID WHISKER-FACE!" Tenten yelled at the flustered blonde.

"NO YOU DIDN'T 'uhhh got to think of an insult' PANDA-HEAD!" Naruto yelled gaining him an equally flustered look from Tenten.

"WHY YOU!!!!" they both screamed glaring at each other with an intensity stronger than that of Naruto's and Sasuke's. Electricity was shooting between the eyes. "HMPF" They said looking in the opposite direction, continuing onwards toward Konoha. By now the group was either completely ticked off at the two arguing genin or just didn't care. Kakashi could care less as he was more concerned with his book. Sasuke was ignoring everything as he tried to think of how to get stronger. Sakura was too busy chasing after Sasuke to notice, and mentally was grateful that Naruto was annoying Tenten and not her. Neji was just blocking everything out, as he was used to a lot of noise on a team with Gai and Lee, who were still screaming about the flames of youth. The group would arrive in Konoha and report to Tsunade a short time later.

Flashback End

"Stupid Whisker-face." Tenten said to herself. 'Back to current problems.' The kunoichi thought as she continued to stroll down the streets of Konoha. "Neji will fall in love with me even if I have to cheat!" Tenten said as she thrust her fist into the air. "Come on, there has to be someway to get Neji to like me, think, think, THINK!!" WHAM! She walked right into a sign without looking. "Itai…, who put that sign there?" Tenten asked as she picked herself up off of the ground. The sign read, "Conveniently placed Curiosity Stand." "Eh? 'Conveniently' huh? It's like someone is trying to tell me to go in…oh well." Tenten said as she strolled on in.

There was elevator music playing on the inside as she was walking up to the counter. Upon reaching the counter Tenten looked up to find a repulsive looking old woman smiling at her. She could tell just by looking, that the woman was in fact very old and only had a few teeth left.

"Yes customer-san, what can I do for you?" The ugly old woman asked.

"I'm looking for something to make someone fall in love with me, but only temporarily." Tenten responded sarcastically not even expecting an answer.

"Oh I see, well the aisle behind you has a lot of different emotion affecters. I'm sure that you'll find something there to suit your needs. Eh heh heh Heh HEH HEH HAHAHAHA!" the laugh from the old woman went from a chuckle to full blown demonic laughter.

Wide-eyed Tenten said shakily "a-ari-arigato," as she backed away slowly from the counter and headed for the aisle that the old woman mentioned.

Walking down the aisle, she looked at the labels of the blue, red, pink, and green potions reading them in her mind 'kanashii (Sadness), okoru (Anger), koofuku (Happiness), aijou (Love) that's it!' Tenten grabbed the green potion and began to read the label for the effects.

Aijou Suiyaku (Love Potion)

To apply: Open bottle and breath in smoke

Effects: The use of this potion causes people to love someone of the opposite gender. The first person the inhaler touches of the opposite gender determines who they fall in love with. This feeling lasts for one week. After this week, the inhaler will not remember the past week but can be reminded through things they've seen or experienced during said week.

Warnings: May cause unintentional marriage, children, and death from being distracted on missions. Remember be protected!

(A/N: This stuff is important so try to remember it)

'Hmmm…this is almost too perfect…, I shouldn't pass it up!' Tenten thought as she quickly ran up to the counter and bought her ticking time bomb of love. "Now to find Neji!" Tenten said as an evil smile slowly crept its way onto her face.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tenten walked into her team's training ground feeling like she had all of the power in the world in her hands. And in some ways she did. Upon reaching the group she was met with quite a scene. Lee was busy eating a banana, Neji and Naruto were sparring, and Gai was nowhere to be seen. She watched carefully as Naruto and Neji continued to fight, trying to find a good chance to put her plan into action. Lee finished the banana and threw the peel on the ground. Naruto ran up and at the same time both him and Neji punched each other in the face knocking each other back a few feet. 'Now's my chance!'Tenten thought as she ran up with the vial in hand heading towards Neji to try and catch him off guard while he was still recovering from Naruto's attack. She was just about to throw it when SLIP! She flipped into the air. She, a kunoichi of all people, had slipped on a banana peel. She felt so stupid but didn't have time to berate herself as the vial hit the ground and she was enveloped in green smoke.

Tenten started coughing uncontrollably as the smoke spread in a large cloud. She soon found that she couldn't get out of the smoke because she had sprained her ankle after she fell. By this time all of the boys were aware of Tenten's presence and watched as she was engulfed in the green smoke.

"Tenten-chan!" Naruto yelled as he ran into the cloud, accidentally breathing in some of the green smoke. Inside the cloud he found Tenten lying on the ground coughing and without thinking, he picked her up bridal style and quickly ran out.

Tenten stopped coughing after a few minutes but notices that Naruto is still carrying her. She blushed lightly and quickly jumped down.

"Who gave you permission to hold me Whisker-face?!" Tenten screamed clearly angering the blonde as he growled in response.

"Well I had to, when you collapsed in your own smoke bomb Panda-head!" Naruto yelled back.

The electric glare was back stronger than ever. They were REALLY close. Their noses were practically touching as they continued their glaring match. Neji and Lee watched and sighed as they saw the two begin to argue once again. Without warning, a swirl of leaves appeared next to the arguing genin.

"YOSH! TEAM TRAINING IS OVER FOR THE DAY!" Gai yelled when he shunshined right by Tenten and Naruto.

Both Tenten and Naruto lost their balance as the gap between them closed and their lips smashed together. Both blushed with the youthfulness of 1000 apples.

Neither of them moved an inch as they were surprised by the situation they were now in, and each one took in the sight of the other. They eventually disconnected and stared into each others eyes. The rest of team Gai was wide-eyed and had their jaws on the ground.

'Wait I like Sakura-chan/Neji!'They both thought as the turned their backs to each other with a blush still full force on their faces.

"Watch where you're going, Panda-head-chan!" Naruto said.

"You too, Whisker-face-kun!" Tenten responded back. Both teens then proceeded to leave the training ground, going their separate ways and leaving the rest of Team Gai stunned in their wake.

'How dare she take my first kiss with a girl?! I need revenge.' Naruto then heard his stomach growling. 'Nah…revenge can wait, I am hungry!' Naruto thought as he headed off to the Ichiraku ramen stand for his usual.

'How dare he take my first kiss? I need a plan for revenge!' Tenten thought as she headed back to her apartment.

Later that night

'Finally, my plan for revenge is done and it's foolproof! Now I just have to wait for tomorrow!' Tenten thought with maniacal laughter.

Meanwhile over in Naruto's apartment, said jinchuuriki was working on a revenge plan of his own when he finally succumbed to sleep. He had been in the middle of writing down ideas when he just couldn't think anymore and passed out right where he was.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" Naruto was sleeping on his drawing board. The top of the paper said Revenge plan.

The stage has been set for one of the most memorable and unexpected romances in the shinobi world. Naruto and Tenten will soon find that they can't stay away from each other as the effects of the potion begin to settle in. How will these two deal with their conflicting feelings?
