Were Not Weak
The sun rays shined over the Village of the Hidden Leafs. A young pink hair kunoichi was walking towards her teams training ground. The pink hair kunoichi was a member of team 7 Sakura Haruno. She was slowly taking her time to arrive to the training ground. 'What a nice day' thought Sakura. As she was approaching the bridge she could see her two teammates arguing very loudly.
"Sasuke-teme," said Naruto.
"Naruto-dobe," replied Sasuke as he looks at Naruto with a bored expression.
"Don't call me a dobe," said Naruto with angry face.
"Don't call me a teme," said Sasuke. The two glared at each other. The tension between those two could be felt all the way where Sakura was walking to them. As she approach the two on the bridge she said, "Please tell me you two are not arguing again."
"Good morning Sakura-chan," said Naruto. "We weren't arguing Sakura-chan, all I did was asked Sasuke-teme why you were late."
"Good morning Naruto, Sasuke-kun.," said Sakura.
"Hn," replied Sasuke.
"Well Naruto…," replied Sakura but was interrupted by Sasuke.
"I told you not to call me teme, dobe," said Sasuke.
"Who are you calling dobe?!," cried Naruto.
"You," answered Sasuke and a fight start between those two as they battle it out on the bridge. 'Those two are never going to stop are they' thought Sakura. Suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared on the bridge. When the smoke had cleared away there stood Kakashi with his Icha Icha Paradise book opened.
"Naruto, Sasuke already starting a fight early in the morning," asked Kakashi.
"He started," said Naruto as he pointed an accusing finger at Sasuke.
"I didn't start dobe your stupidity made you start the fight," said Sasuke.
"WHAT!!!" cried Naruto and yet another fight started. Kakashi closed his book and pulled the two apart.
"You two have to learn to cooperate with each other your both jounin and yet you still act like children," said Kakashi.
"Hmph," replied Sasuke and Naruto looking away from Kakashi. Kakashi sigh.
"Well let's start our training we need get Sakura ready for the jounin exams," replied Kakashi. The group started their training and when finally finish.
"Thanks for all the help," said Sakura as she packed up and left. As she was walking away and turn the corner she heard her teammates and her sensei talking about her.
"Kakashi went are we really going to start to train for real again," asked Sasuke. "Training with Sakura is pointless she is just lagging us behind."
"That's mean Sasuke-teme she our teammate we work together," said Naruto. "But it's true that we haven't gotten much training done she is a little weaker cause she a girl."
"We all have our special talents and abilities some of us take more time to develop their techniques but doesn't mean their weak," said Kakashi. "Besides Sakura is part of this team she has help you guys a lot through and through." Sakura stood their behind the tree hearing her teammates calling her weak and her sensei calling her academically challenge. Tears started to roll down the young girl face as she quietly left from behind the tree. Her teammates and her sensei never noticed that she was there as they were insulting her.
Meanwhile earlier that morning another kunoichi was going to her teammates training ground. She had dark lavender-bluish hair and pearl color eyes. It was Hinata was running to her teammates training ground. As she was about to arrive to the training ground she heard some voices talking about her. She stop and listen quietly it was her teammates and her teacher.
"Kurenai-sensei why can we start without Hinata?" asked an impatient Kiba.
"We are a team Kiba and team work together to improve," said Kurenai. "How about I go and get Hinata?" Before Hinata could reply that she was there. Both of her two teammates nodded and watch their teacher go.
"I thought Kureani-sensei was never going to leave," said Kiba. Akamaru nodded.
"Don't you think Hinata is dragging this team down almost all the other kunoichi are stronger than her?" asked Kiba to Shino. Shino looked at Kiba through his glasses.
"Hinata may be a little slow but she is not a bad person," said Shino.
"She's comes from the famous Hyuuga clan and yet she's not a genius like Neji no wonder Hinata is weak," said Kiba. Hinata stood there shock at all the insult throw at her. She always thought that her team supported her unlike anyone in her family. Hinata started to softly cry and walk away from her teams training ground.
About a couple of training grounds away Gai's team had just finished training. Tenten was leaving the training ground area. Behind her she heard Neji talking to Lee.
"Lee, are you free tomorrow morning to train," asked Neji.
"Why? Don't you train with Tenten every morning?" asked Lee with a confused look on face. Neji sigh.
"Tenten has been lacking in skills lately. She has become a little weaker," said Neji.
"Oh I see because Tenten has been lacking in her youth. It is dwindling because she is a girl and girl's age faster than guys," said Lee. Neji sigh even more. 'This is going in the wrong direction' thought Neji. Gai-sensei walked over to the two boys.
"What this I hear your both training early tomorrow morning without Tenten?" asked Gai.
"I just need a better training partner," replied Neji.
"So Tenten has been losing her youthful fighting spirit but that doesn't mean she can bring it back up," replied Gai.
"Gai-sensei Tenten has been lacking in her fighting lately don't you agree?" asked Lee.
"Tenten is a delicate flower that must be taken care of but I have notice she has become a little sluggish," said Gai. Tenten stood there shock that her teammates and her sensei was considering her weak. She had helped them so much and this is what they truly thought of her a weak girl that couldn't stand up for herself. Who did they think they are?! Tenten took a kunai out ready to throw at them but then stop. Tenten left with angry face but if anyone looked closely at her eyes were surrounding by tears.
At the Korean barbeque restaurant Asuma's team was taking their lunch break from training. Chouji was stuffing his face. Asuma was sitting their with a worry expression feeling that he was going to run out of money really fast again. Shikamaru sat at the seat with his lazy expression watching Chouji stuffing his face. While Ino was yelling at Chouji for taking her food.
"Chouji why did you take my food don't you have your own to eat?!" yelled Ino.
"I finish mine and you never finish yours," said Chouji.
"So that is still rude you should have asked first," said Ino.
"Ino you should know by now that Chouji has to eat to keep up his energy," said Shikamaru.
"So why he doesn't take your food," sneered Ino. Shikamaru handed his plate over to Chouji.
"See I don't mind," said Shikamaru. "It's just food."
"You guys are so annoying," said Ino. Ino stood up and started to leave when she turn the corner and look through the window she could hear her team talking about her.
"Ino is so annoying," said Shikarmaru.
"Not only is she annoying but she also is a loudmouth and weak," said Chouji.
"Ino has been slacking off in her training lately," said Asuma.
"Ino is slacking off probably because of being a blonde she worries about her looks more than her training making her weaker than Sakura her rival for sure," said Shikamaru.
Ino stood there staring at them through the window with an anger and sadness flowing throughout her mind. She was just insulted by her teammates she was use to be called annoying by her teammates but they thought that she was so weak and dumb. Ino turn away from the window and started walking trying to hold back her tears. As she was passing the ramen shop she noticed Sakura sitting their sadly looking at her food. Ino walk over to Sakura. Sakura didn't even look up when Ino came over.
"Are you okay, Sakura?" asked Ino. Sakura turn her face to face Ino.
"Hi, Ino," said Sakura. "I'm just kind of sad. Do you want to go to the park?"
"Sure," replied Ino. The two left the ramen shop and on their way there they walk into Tenten and Hinata. Tenten had angry expression on her face like she was ready to murder someone but sadness could be seen in her eyes. Hinata had her head down and her eyes were puffy.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Sakura with a concerned look on her face.
"Those teammates of mine I can't believe it," said Tenten as she clenched her fist.
"What happened?" asked Ino.
"Neji and Lee had the guts to insult me and then Gai-sensei join them saying I was getting weak," replied Tenten.
"I'm sure they were just in a bad mood," said Hinata trying to defend her cousin.
"How can you defend your cousin Hinata?! He always insults you saying that you are weak and don't be deserve to be the next clan leader of the Hyuuga," cried Tenten. Hinata started to cry again.
"Tenten!" said Sakura with a warning voice.
"I'm sorry Hinata I shouldn't have let my anger take control of me," said Tenten with a sorry voice.
"That's okay Tenten I understand where your coming from I was insulted by my teammates today," replied Hinata with a sad smile on her face.
"You were insulted too?!" asked Sakura and Ino.
"Hai," replied Hinata who got even sadder as she thought about the event of her teammates insulting her.
"Don't be so sad Hinata we the same thing happened to me," said Sakura.
"Me too," replied Ino.
"You too??!!," replied the girls all together as they look at each other.
"The boy must be against us," said Ino. "What did we do wrong?"
"I don't know but they should be thanking us for helping all those time when they are in trouble on a mission," said Tenten.
"Naruto and Sasuke should be grateful for all the times I heal them or they would have died of blood loss. We didn't do anything to them," said Sakura getting angry that her teammates and her sensei were ungrateful to them.
"We should do something to prove to the boys were not weak," said Tenten with a killer tone in her voice.
"We will, we are going to leave Kohona to train," said Sakura. The other girls were shock of Sakura idea. Then Hinata spoke up.
"I'm coming with you Sakura. I want to prove to people that I can become a better kunoichi and I'm not weak as they like to think," said Hinata. The other girls stood there with surprise expression that Hinata had talk so boldly.
"Right on Hinata I'm coming as well," said Ino.
"Me too," said Tenten.
"First we need permission from Tsunade-sama," said Sakura. The group went to Hokage's office to speak to Tsunade-sama. Went they arrive. Sakura knock on the door.
"Come in," a voice said.
"Hokage-sama," said the group of girls as they bow.
"Hello, girls how are you?" asked Tsunade as she was sitting in her chair as her hand cross lay on the chair sides.
"We are fine Tsunade-sama but we have a request," said Sakura.
"What kind of request?" asked Tsunade.
"We would like permission to leave the village to train," said Sakura.
"WHAT?!!" yelled Tsunade. "I won't allow it!!!"
"Please Tsunade-sama we really need this," said Hinata. Tsunade facial expression turns into amazement that Hinata would speak up.
"I would like to hear why you girls are requesting a leave from Kohana," asked Tsunade as she calm down.
"Our teammates has hurt our feelings saying that we are weak and slow," replied Ino. Tsunade look at each girl individually in the eyes and could see that their teammates had hurt them greatly. Tsunade sigh.
"We could have private practices…," began Tsunade but was interrupted by Sakura.
"No Tsunade-sama we need to prove to the boys that we are strong," said Sakura. The other girls nodded their head with determination each shining in the girls eyes. Tsunade sigh again.
"I guess I can't hold you back but when will you return," asked Tsunade.
"We don't know when but we will return to prove ourselves," said Tenten.
"Very well I grant you the permission to leave," said Tsunade. "Please be careful girls. I'm going to miss you all."
"Thank you Tsuande-sama," replied the girls. The girls walk over and hug Tsunade.
"Don't worry we will watch over each other," said Sakura.
"Bye girls," said Tsunade. The girls bow and left the Hokage's office. 'I hope they will achieve what they desire' thought Tsunade.
Later on that night, Sakura was her home packing. 'I prove to Naruto, Sasuke-kun, and Kakashi-sensei that I can become strong as them' thought Sakura. Sakura looked at the picture of her teammate on her night stand and put it in her backpack and left her house quietly and locked the door.
Hinata was sitting there having second thoughts what her father will think of this but then she remember Tenten's word earlier "How can you defend your cousin Hinata?! He always insults you saying that you are weak and don't be deserve to be the next clan leader of the Hyuuga," cried Tenten. 'No I going to prove to my family and my friends that I'm a strong' thought Hinata. She finishes packing and slow open her door and swiftly left the Hyuuga compound.
Tenten was throwing kunai's and shuriken at the dummy Neji, Lee, and Gai-sensei. She packed the dummies along too. She looked at the dummies closely. 'When I come back those two are going to wish that they wouldn't have said those insults about me' thought Tenten as she threw one last kunai at the Neji straw dummy. She got up and jumps out of her window. She started to run toward her destination.
Ino was sitting their looking at the flowers in her shop. She looked over each flower. Suddenly certain flower vase caught her eyes a vase cover clouds and smoke swirling around. She instantly thought of her teammates. Shikamaru with his cloud watching. Chouji devouring his food down his mouth. Asuma-sensei smoking his cigarettes. She sighs as she thought of her teammates but then a determination appeared in her eyes. 'I'm going to miss you guys but when I return I'm going to be stronger and your going to respect me at last' thought Ino. She grabs her backpack and ran to meet the other girls.
Sakura stood at the entrance of leaving Kohona. Hinata, Ino, and Tenten landed down next to her.
"Ready you guys?" asked Sakura. The other three girls nodded. The group started running out of Kohona. Each of the girl turn their head back and together had the same thought 'Goodbye Kohona'.
