A/N: T_T This chapter is soo small T_T. I need help. Like in review form(cough cough) and beta help. I'll even let this be a joint story with another author. Just help me help you _
Anyway, get readin'
Hinata? The heir to the powerful Hyuuga Clan? This little girl? Being of royal blood herself, Temari had been taught of other royal families throughout the Land of Shinobi. The heir of the Hyuuga clan was supposedly shy, and easy on the eyes, the black sheep of the clan.
But Temari was still surprised that such a person could even make Genin rank. Maybe those rumors of Konoha going easy on it's exams were true...
Hinata slowly dropped her stance. And her fingers started poking eachother... Temari had no idea why.
"I, uh, wanted t-to use this area to tr-train," she said so quietly, Temari almost didn't hear. She was staring intently at the ground, seemingly watching a bug crawl...
"Well so did I. And considering I was here first..." Temari didn't finish, and instead, gathered chakra, and with it, summoned 5 shadow clones, surrounding her on all sides of the lake. The clones, six including the one behind Hinata, jumped into the tree line surrounding the lake.
"You might wanna leave, or you might get hurt." Before Hinata could question what that meant, kunai, shuriken, and senbon came flying from the forest, aiming at Temari. Hinata took this as cue to leave the area, while Temari stood her ground... or water.
From inside her shirt, she pulled out a beautifully decorated tanto, and with all the speed she could muster, repelled all the kunai and shuriken, while dodging any senbon.
After about five minutes of nonstop repelling, one of the shadow clones had run out of throwing weapons and dispersed. Temari knew of this, because suddenly she had two sets of eyes, one guiding the tanto to defend from flying metal, the other throwing said metal.
Her concentration was thrown off completely, and she fell through the water, no longer defying gravity. The water was cool, which got Temari to swim to the lake's shore rather quickly.
Reaching the shore, her head popped out, and her body got all the oxygen she needed.
"Are you okay!" Temari looked in the direction of the voice. It was the girl from before, Hinata, who had half of her bulky jacket off, seemingly to jump in to rescue Temari...
"You're still here," was all Temari said. She walked out of the lake, soaked through, and stared at the younger girl intently. "Need something?" Hinata only looked away, and slowly put her jacket back on all the way, then began to poke her fingers again.
Temari took this as cue to leave and get herself dried. "Yeah I'm done here," she said, answering the unasked question. Without sparing another glance in Hinata's direction, she left the lake behind and walked along the lake side, and where it diverged into a river.
'I guess I should just wash up since I'm already wet,' she thought. Farther down the river were some rather large rocks, which helped to slow down the flow of water, and give some moderate privacy. It was here that Temari deided to wash herself.
'Training with shadow clones is pretty useful,' Temari thought, as she was cleaning herself within the river water. 'But using them takes too much chakra.' She had planned to train longer, but was already feeling tired from using just six clones. She was lucky to even know the technique in the first place, having to test her proficiency with sand clones.
'Maybe that girl from before...' She chuckled, thinking of Hinata still made her wonder how she got to genin rank. 'Guess I'll see if she goes back to the lake tomorrow.'
A/N: I rewrote this sooo many times. As I said before, help me help you. Review, or beta please!
