I wish I owned Naruto, but apparently I don't.

Iruka's eyes widened. "Amazing, Tenten. Perfect again, as usual." Wondering, he is, on how a kunoichi would surpass the geniuses like Hyuuga Neji and Uchiha Sasuke when it comes to sparring and hitting the target a bull's eye. She always had the perfect scores, but it never failed to amaze him. "You may take your break now."
Neji got three misses, Sasuke got five.. Shino missed one.. Naruto got one hit.. Shikamaru didn't take the test.. Chouji got seven misses.. Sakura got two hits.. Ino missed one.. Hinata got seven misses.. while Tenten got everything—ten out of ten.
Tenten reluctantly walked away, prepared to take her break. Though from not very far away, she could hear the laughter of the boys who she didn't mind minding. 'They're just jealous coz I get high grades' she'd think. The boys would go as far away as they can from her, so that they'd be able to laugh at her, and that they'd be able to run away when she hears. The boys, generically, but specifically they are Kiba, Shikamaru, Neji and Chouji. Naruto and Sasuke don't mind them so much, and Naruto talks to her. He's a kind guy. While Sasuke is hostile to everyone, she supposes. Maybe except for Naruto, utterly his only friend.
"Uhm.. Tenten-san?"
Tenten turned around. "Yes?"
"Uhm.."
Surprisingly, the Hyuuga lass was standing there. "Hinata-san? What can I do for you?"
"Well.. you see.. I get really bad grades when it comes to sparring and.. you always get perfect grades and.."
"What exactly is your point?" she asked dryly, making sure it wouldn't sting so much.
Hinata got startled. "Well.. I was wondering if.. if you could train me so that I'd have some progress.. my father will get really mad if I.."
"I see," she said. "Well then let's start?"
"R-really?! Y-you're not going to take your break?"
"Nah, I don't really take breaks."
"What do you do then?"
Tenten shot her a look. "Do you really have to know?"
"N-no I was just.."

"Hey! Chouji did you get my food again?" Kiba asked.
"What do you mean again? I was just tasting it!" Chouji barked.
"Tasting?! That's mine! Give it back! HEY!"
"You two better stop," Shikamaru said.
"Yeah," Neji said. "Or I'll hit you with a kunai—bull's eye."
They could only laugh.
"You're turning into that bull's eye chick?!" Kiba asked.
"Chick?! You mean tomboy!" Chouji said.
Neji smirked. "Of course,"
"Hi guys!" Ino came in. "Whatcha doing?"
"Nothing," they replied in chorus.
"Aww.. then let's do something!" Ino said as she placed a bottle in the middle of the deformed circle. "Alriight! I've been itching to play Truth or Dare for centuries!"
"Hey wait, Ino—"
She spun the bottle, and there it went spinning and spinning until it stopped on Chouji.
"Alright!" Ino cried. Ever as lively, almost the same level as Naruto. It didn't make sense though, coz the guys didn't seem to care about her presence.
"Dare," Chouji said.
"I dare you to give back my food." Kiba said. "Or else I'll call you a fatass for the rest of your life."
He felt Chouji's eyes burn. "Careful, Kiba. I don't eat roasted pork." Ino said.
"Dang it, this is your lucky day dog boy." Chouji said as he returned the bag of chips to Kiba.
Ino spun the bottle once again. It stopped on herself.
"Uhm.. I choose.."
"Dare," Neji said. "I dare you to get out of here."
Ino's eyebrows met. "What?!"
"I said get out." He said. "You're annoying—just like that tomboy."
"That tomboy eh? So you're thinking of that girl, aren't you?!"
"What the—I'm not!"
"Oh really? Hey, Hyuuga, I'll only do your dare when you do mine."
Neji smirked. Anything to get rid of her. "Let's hear it."
"You need to make that tomboy fall in love with you in one week!" she pointed out her pointer.
"The fuck?!"
"Hm.. so if you decline that just means you're not a man! You can't even make a girl fall in love with you? My, my I thought you were the exact opposite.."
"Look, anyone would do, but not that tomboy."
"So that means you're telling me that.. you really can't do something as simple as that, eh, Hyuuga Neji?"
The devilish tone of Ino's voice annoyed Neji so much. "And so if I don't do that?"
"Then I'd follow you all around for the rest of the year, and you're weak! You're scared that that Tomboy might defeat you in sparring! Heh, nothing less from you.."
"Damn it, would you get out?!"
"Ino, stop that, you're taking it personally already." Shikamaru said.
"Am not. It wouldn't be my problem if I had to follow you guys the entire year. That would be my pleasure you know."
Kiba leaned closer to Neji as he whispered. "Just do it, I don't want Ino to follow us around the entire year. There are twelve more months till this year will end."
"What do you mean? If you want you do the dare. I don't wanna go near that tomboy."
"Oh, come on I wouldn't wanna do that twice as much as you don't! Girls go for elite people, and you'll make her fall for you instantly! Just be a good guy around her, then dump her! That simple, right?"
"I don't wanna do that!"
"Don't tell me you're afraid of hurting that tomboy's feelings, ne, Neji?"
Neji held his fists back. He was so ready to punch Kiba. "Do as you want."
"Alright! He agreed Ino, now get lost!" Kiba said.
Ino smirked.
"This dare is unfair, Yamanaka. Both sides are in favor of you."
"You should've asked a better dare then." Ino said as she started walking away. She'd have fun while clinging on the boys. She'd also have fun when Neji starts his trick with Tenten.
This will be fun.

"Tenten-san you're amazing.." Hinata could only stare. "I-I mean.. you got them all.. bull's eye.."
"Hn," said the lass. She was feeling half comfortable, having someone rather than Naruto and Lee who actually talks to her. This might be a prank. "If you want to do the same thing, you should concentrate on the target. Just look at that center spot. Make sure you're standing ninety degrees from the target. Then, you point your kunai or shuriken at your aim, double check the target, ninety degrees. When you're sure it'll land there, don't have any doubts—just think that you'll do it. That you'd be able to make it land there, and nothing else." Tenten had another bull's eye.
Hinata could only stare. "Try," Tenten handed her a kunai which Hinata nervously received.
Concentrate on the target, just look at the center spot.
Make sure you're standing ninety degrees from the target.
Point your kunai or shuriken at your aim.
Double check the target, ninety degrees.
Don't have any doubts
Just think that you'll do it.
"I'd be able to make it land there," she whispered to herself as she threw the kunai.
Tenten sighed. The kunai landed near the target, but not on the target. "Well.. it wouldn't work so good on your first try. That means you have to practice.. and so next time you don't have to take so long in doing all the steps. But that was a better job, keep it up."
The trainee smiled at the trainer. "Thank you very much, Tenten-san! I'll make it better! I swear!"
"Alright, then I guess I can leave you here..?"
"Yes, thank you, Tenten-san!"
