Yamanaka Ino, Haruno Sakura, Hyuuga Hinata, and Tenten were sitting in Tenten's living room. "I'm sick of this shit," Tenten suddenly yelled. She was just reminiscing on a recent mission. It was an escort mission. She was keeping watch when enemy shinobi attacked. She alerted Lee and Neji, and then engaged in battle. Suddenly she was on the ground, a man coming at her with a kunai. Lee saved her, but left the client unguarded. They lost the client. She remembered how much it hurt to hear what Neji said to Gai-sensei afterwards.

--Flashback--

"She is so weak!" Neji was ranting to Gai in the middle of a training field.

"Now, Neji, that is very unyouthful," Gai said to his pupil.

"I don't care! If she just held her own, wouldn't have failed the mission! It's because of her, that man died!"

Tenten ran away from the training grounds with tears in her eyes. She knew Neji was right.

--End Flashback--

"I'm tired of this, too," Sakura said. She was thinking about the vow she made to protect Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke finally gave up on killing Itachi, and came back to the village. The three of them went on a mission. During the mission, they were attacked.

--Flashback--

Things were under control, or at least to Sakura they were. She was so busy making sure Naruto and Sasuke didn't get hit, she never noticed the man coming at her. Then Sasuke jumped in front of her and took a kunai to the arm. He and Naruto killed the enemies, and then they went back to where Sakura was sitting, dumbfounded.

"Damn, Sakura. Why did you just stand there?" Naruto waited for an answer. Sakura just looked down, after healing the wound Sasuke received from her weakness. Tears fell from her eyes as she placed all blame on herself.

--End FLASHBACK--

"Same here," Ino agreed. She recently overheard her father talking with Asuma-sensei.

--FLASHBACK--

"Your daughter is special," Asuma said, "but I don't think she is cut out to be a shinobi."

"At least she has the flower shop going for her," her father said with a sigh.

Ino felt like a kunai was stabbed through her heart. Her sensei had no faith in her. Her own father had no faith in her. Ino ran up to her room, to get ready to go to Tenten's, tears streaming from her eyes.

--END FLASHBACK--

"Y-yeah," agreed Hinata. She overheard Kiba Shino and Naruto talking.

--FLASHBACK--

"Well what do you think of Hinata, Naruto?" Kiba looked at the number one hyperactive ninja.

"She seems weak," Naruto said.

Hinata gasped. She then listened to more.

"She is weaker than the rest of us," Shino said.

Hinata had to prevent herself from crying. She waited for Kiba to stand up for her.

"She makes a good bentou though," Kiba said.

Hinata felt her world crashing down on her. That is what her team and the love of her life thinks of her. Devastated, she ran back to the Hyuuga compound, to make tea for her father before she would go to Tenten's.

--END FLASHBACK--

"I say we ditch this life," Tenten said suddenly.

"W-w-what? A-are you s-s-saying we should c-commit s-s-s-suicide?" Hinata stared at Tenten.

"No," Tenten said. "What I mean is we leave the village."

"Go missing, are you crazy?" Ino was ready to hit her friend over the head. Sure they were now like sisters, and Tenten, being the oldest, usually made all the decisions, as the older sister, but, that was a crazy idea.

"Maybe you're on to something…" Sakura began. "We could leave, and get strong. Maybe, we'll come back when we're ready to prove ourselves."

"I-I-I'm game…I-I-I think…" Hinata said quietly.

"All in say, 'Hai.'"

"Hai," they all said.

"Okay," Tenten said. "We'll meet at the back gate at midnight tonight. Pack light, and bring all your gear. Tell no one of our plans, okay. We'll figure out where we'll go when we are out of Konoha."

They all nodded and took off in different directions. They were all nervous, but were not reluctant. They wanted to do this.


Well, It's the first chapter, of my first multi-chapter fic. What do you think? Constructive criticism would be nice. I just want everyone to bear in mind, that I can do much better, its just that this was written at 1:00 am. So please R&R, but don't be too harsh. Thx. FBG
