Tenten looked curiously down into the hole. It was a deep hole. A very deep hole. Gai and Lee were sitting at the bottom, highfiving. Glorious day to combine the Lotuses, they had said. And it had worked very nicely. Tenten swung her legs as she sat on the edge, seeing Neji doing the same thing across from her. She couldn't actually see Lee and Gai, but Neji had his bykukun activated. Nothing like a good bloodline limit to watch people highfive and create sunsets in total darkness. It was at that point that Tenten slipped. And down, down, down….
Neji looked incredulously at his falling teammate. Well, previously falling teammate. At the current point, pointy objects were crisscrossing everywhere like a good game of Kerplunk and Tenten was calmly lying on her strings in the middle. Lee and Gai were still, he checked, oblivious. How was he going to get them out, anyway? Maybe they could use their super speed to climb… for miles? Hm, this would require some thought. But first, to attend to Tenten, who had aimed a very accurate kunai at his face.
"El Stupido." El stupido indeed, he thought as he looked at the tag attached to the incredibly not dull kunai. "But let the battle begin." And that was when said tag blew up, as they always tend to do. However, Neji, being the genius he was, had already thrown it back to the center to the hole, where Tenten was no longer waiting. She was gone. Climbing up the invisible wires that connected her to her weapons, she got closer and closer…
Neji fell into the hole. It was just too tempting. So hopping onto those near invisible strings, he spun and leaped and destroyed and watched Tenten rebuild again. The new training ground was quite refreshing.
WAY WAY down in The Hole, Lee had paused in his high five. There appeared to be a battle going on a few… miles up from them! Quickly whispering (or shouting, no one could hear them with the battle going on upstairs) (though there were no stairs) this information to Gai, who had no doubt already noticed, the two skipped off those wonderfully ravaged walls and went to join the battle.
When Hinata approached them later, needing to bring Neji home for dinner, all she had to do was follow the crowd. Training ground five was no more, but it had been converted into something much better. Not that she knew when Gai, Lee, Neji, and Tenten would be fighting each other in a colossal abyss, but if it helped them train, she did not see a problem. The Hokage apparently did, though; especially when the dirt Lee and Gai had blown up finally came falling down a few hours later…
