Tenten walked through the streets of the small village Konoha. Although it was small, it was a huge part of Tenten's life. She knew every corner of it and every aspect as well. It was filled with all sorts of people. Nice ones, mean ones, stubborn ones, gentle ones but the one that stood out the most to everyone, including Tenten herself were the ninjas. No one really knew them personally, but they were basically heroes. The great hokage is always a ninja, and also happened to be someone Tenten though was amazing was the great Tsunade herself. She assigned the ninjas missions and trained them in certain groups of 11-12.
Tenten isn't a ninja though. However she does live peacefully with her mom who isn't a ninja as well. Tenten's dad died at a young age. Tenten's mom was very strong about it nonetheless and still raised Tenten to be the girl she is right now. The strength Tenten's mom had during that time made Tenten look up to her mom more than anyone else in the entire world. She also loved her more than anyone else.
After Tenten's stroll, she was walking back home. Little did she know that she was being followed. Actually she didn't know at all.
"So this is the ninja? How does Tsunade even know she is a ninja?" a pink haired girl questioned.
"U-um. I think sh-she said she once bumped into her and c-could sense it I guess? B-but she's not wrong. If I activate my b-byakugan, I can sense it completely. Th-there's no doubt about it." a lavender-eyed girl answered.
"So it's our mission to get her." the pink haired girl confirmed.
They skipped quietly, but gracefully through the branches to catch up to the twin bunned girl. They then jumped off a branch so both of them would be right in front of her, stopping her in her tracks and surprising her.
Tenten just had a small smile, be polite and said "excuse me" and walked to the side. But then the pink haired girl said, "we didn't bump into you on purpose." Tenten raised an eyebrow in confusion. "We're here for you." Tenten was even more confused. She tried to go the other way a bit quicker, creeped out.
The pink hair girl then placed a hand on her shoulder and now the blue hair girl spoke "p-please don't worry. We'll show u now."
Tenten was about to scream "NO!" But then they made some weird hand sign and they all disappeared in a puff of smoke.
She was then in a completely different place, but she recognized what it was by looking out a window. The ground and stores she had seen there she had been to. She had always looked up from there and pretty much everyone recognized it. It was the hokage's office, but also a place ninjas went for training and missions.
In front of the window, there was a desk and sitting at it was the person Tenten admired.
Tsunade. A strong, noble and beautiful woman who's beauty was so outstanding that it covered her age.
Tenten bowed, but then said "It is an honor to meet you. But only ninjas are allowed to be here. Why am I?" Tsunade, a great person, still couldn't cloud Tenten from questioning why she had been here.
Tsunade said, "Please stand straight Tenten. I will explain everything."
"To say the least, you're a ninja. That is why you're here."
Tenten put on a polite smile and said, annoyed "I'm afraid you have the wrong person. Like I said to them, I'm not a ninja. Neither is my mom. Now can I please go?" Tenten was getting tired of this.
"What about your dad?" Tsunade asked.
"He died when I was young. I don't think he was a ninja."
"Tenten, I think maybe you should ask your mom about your dad. She might actually explain it easier than me. Or at least you trust her way more. Please ask her today and consult with her and I will meet with
you tomorrow, if you're okay with it. Just tell the guards you're Tenten and they will escort you to my office."
Tenten sighed and said "Fine" thinking it was useless considering she thought there was no point.
Tenten looked at the clock.
"Oh crap! Can you please transport me to my house with that hand thingy? My mom will kill me!" Tenten said freaked out.
The girls and Tsunade kinda laughed and the blue haired girl said "I-I can." with a small smile, like from before.
She put her hand on her shoulder and transported her to the same place they were before.
Tenten ran home but looked behind herself and shouted "Thanks!"
The blue haired girl smiled as a you're welcome. "She even runs at the speed of a ninja." she said quietly to herself.
Tenten got home and was breathing in big breaths.
She opened the door and saw her mom on the couch.
"Where were you? I was so scared!" Tenten's mom said.
"Mom, I'm sorry, but I was sidetracked!"
"Oh really? How?" Tenten's mom
"You won't believe me but these two kunoichi came outta nowhere and told me I was a ninja." Tenten's mom stiffened at the words that came out of her daughter's mouth. "Then they used some type of jutsu on me that made me to to Lady Tsunade's office. She told me that I should talk to you about dad since you're not a ninja and whatever, but dad's not a ninja!" Tenten laughed after she said this. But her mom didn't say anything. It caused Tenten to stop laughing and take a better look at her mom's face. It was a dead serious look, with a hint of worry in it. "Mom...?"
"Tenten, sit down." Her mom said.
Tenten was so puzzled, but she did what her mom told her to do.
"We fell in love and it seemed as if nothing could break our love. He may have been a ninja and I wasn't, but we fell for each other. We soon got married and had you. He named you Tenten because he thought you would become a ninja like him and he wanted you to never miss your shots of weapons. But then, when you were four, he had to go on an important mission. So he went. But then…" Tenten's mom started to tear up. "he died in battle. He died an honorable ninja. And you should be proud of him. So when you asked what happened, I lied to you. You were to young to remember that he was a ninja. And…" Tears now started to flow down her cheeks now. "I was scared that I'd lose you too. So I hid that you were a ninja. I'm so sorry!"

Tenten was starting to tear up too. She understood why her mom was hiding the fact she was a ninja from her. She was so surprised though. She didn't even understand even though it was all explained. But she knew one thing. Her mom was a strong person and the best mom she could ask for. She hugged her mom and buried her head in her mom's shoulder. And they both cried, of so many emotions.

"Mom…I think dad would want me to…" Tenten started, but bit her lip. They broke their hug.

"I know sweetie." Tenten's mom said. "Just promise me you'll be strong and protect yourself."

They gave each other one last, quick but meaningful hug. Tenten went to her room and lied down on her bed for a few hours, just thinking about how much everything would change. Maybe she wouldn't know how. But definitely a lot. She looked at the picture on her nightstand of her as a 3 year old, her mom and dad. She looked at that picture differently now, with more happiness almost. She eventually fell asleep. Tomorrow wouldn't be some day she roamed the streets of Konoha exploring and what not. She would become a ninja.
