A true kunoichi: Tenten: Naruto

Chapter 1:

Whoosh!

"Oh, Tenten! Your youth has improved but you still need more practice. You must bloom into a true flower like Sakura chan has! Speaking of youth, where is Neji? I must defeat him in the name of the spring time of youth!" cried a soup bowl haircut boy named Rock lee.

Tenten, a brown bun headed kunoichi with pretty but fierce brown eyes, growled at Lee. She was gluing a smile on her face when she saw Lee daydreaming about Sakura. Ever since she was easily defeated by Temari from the chunin exams she hadn't gotten any respect. People would always tell her that she said be something useful instead of a kunoichi. They told her she was too weak to be one. Of course they were wrong. They were all wrong. Neji Hyuga her sparring partner and her crush also knew that. She thought they had a special relationship that could never be broken.

People thought that she would never reach her dream, which was to be as great as her idol Tsunade. They thought that she shouldn't carry so many weapons or train all the time. The boys thought that Sakura was the best. They thought she was prettiest, the nicest, the coolest, and was doing something useful. Then they would also keep an eye out on Ino. She was the flower shop girl. Last but not least they would look out for Hinata. The shy one who was suppose to be unnoticed. They were supposed to be the popular and best girls/kuniochis in Konoha. But she never noticed. But all the people thought she was just an ordinary girl. But she isn't. Tenten has gone through much more then all of them combined. She would show them. Tenten has always gone easy on every one. She was a lot different then you would think.

"Hello, Neji! Where were you, my youthful buddy? We must clash with all of our youthfulness! YOSH!" cried Lee, pumping his fists in the air. Tenten was still training while Neji just merely acknowledged him with a small smile. Wait- a small smile? NEJI NEVER SMILES!

Tenten glared over towards Neji direction. What was up with him?

"Oh my Gai! (He says Gai instead of God. Talk about obsessed!) Neji smiled! He has finally showed his youthfulness? I wonder… did you get a date with Tenten? Maybe that is why you are so happy!" shouted Lee.

"No." He said. He didn't know Tenten was a couple feet away from him.

Tenten just ignored the comment. How could Neji say that about me? Stupid Neji…

"I am going to get married to Hinata. I have to do it so that I can become the head of the Hyuga clan." He said with no pauses.

Lee fainted. Tenten stopped throwing her kunai. Then Neji releazied that Tenten was there. Tenten could feel tears tearing through her eyes. She had to hold them back. Neji was looking straight at her.

"Why???? Why Hinata? I thought… I thought…. Well how can you be smiling?" She couldn't finish. Was someone going to betray her again? Her tears didn't hold back as the treaded across her skin. Tenten had gone through so much in the past. Much more then anyone in the world could understand. Although, ever since Lee and Neji came she started helping them. She thought she had a found a friend in Lee and a great partner in Neji. But it was all a lie. She was unaware of the fact that everyone thought of her as a weakling. She thought she was happy.

"Tenten. I wanted to do it. You know that. My goal was to become the head of the Hyuga clan. I want this. I don't need you or Lee. You guys just hold me back. Especially you." He said calmly.

"How can you say that! After everything we have been through!" She screamed out loud at him.

"Tenten, you haven't realized it yet. You are just a weak little girl. You think that people here respect you. They don't. Face reality. You are a mere kunoichi who knows nothing. Plus, you are the weakest kuniochi." He said rudely. He thought she was going to burst into tears. He smirked waiting for them to fall once again.

Tenten had wiped away her other tears. She had just realized it. Everyone did think of her as a weakling. No one did respect her in Konoha. Even if, she wasn't going to show her emotions to Neji. She slowly turned her back on him. That was it. After all of these years here…. She had to leave. Now.

"Neji, you know nothing about my life. No one does and no one ever will. You have opened my eyes to this city and they truly think of me. I am not a weakling. I am leaving. Goodbye." Before Tenten knew she had taken off. She didn't want to see that city again. Never.
