Well here's Chapter 2 of The Kunoichis That Didn't Belong! Enjoy!
(+Monday+)
"Hinata."
"Y-Yes, Father?" Hinata stuttered.
"I think it would be best if you spent your free time to train more." Hiashi Hyuuga told her.
"I am, though!" Hinata protested. "Apparently, not enough."
"…Oh…okay then…" Hinata got up. "Um… I have to go train with Kiba-kun, Shino-kun, Kurenai-sensei and Akamaru now…" Hiashi nodded.
"Go then." "Y-Yes, Father…" Hinata bowed, then walked out of the Hyuuga residence. 'He thinks that I am weak…' Hinata thought miserably.
(+Monday still/ Training Grounds/ Team 8+)
"Hinata… maybe we should stop for today…" Kiba said worriedly.
"Yes. Kiba is right. You are apparently in no condition to fight." Shino reasoned.
"Huh? But! Why…" Hinata looked at her teammates' and sensei's worried faces. "Al-Alright…" Hinata got up and left. 'WHY? Why do they think that I am weak? Can't they see that I'm at least trying to improve?!'' Hinata thought sadly as she walked away.
"Do you think that Hinata is weakening the team?" Hinata heard Kurenai's faint but clear voice. Hinata's mind froze, but she couldn't hear their conversation anymore.
(+Tuesday Morning/ Training Grounds/ Team 7+)
"FINALLY, SAKURA-CHAN!!!" Naruto yelled as he and Sasuke saw Sakura running to their training grounds.
"Gomen nasai, Naruto, Sasuke-kun." Sakura apologized. She looked around. "Eh? Where's Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked, confused.
"Hmm? Oh yeah. Kakashi-sensei is always half an hour late these days." Naruto said with his hands crossed. "Say, Sakura?"
"Yes, Naruto?"
"Since you finally decided to show up, what took you so long?"
"Sorry, but Tsunade-sama wanted me to stack up some documentary things." Sakura said.
"Hmm, okay then… Oi! Kakashi-sensei!! Over here!!" Naruto yelled while waving to Kakashi.
A few moments later during their training session…
"Sakura-chan!! Are you okay?" Naruto cried as he, Sasuke, and Kakashi ran over to Sakura.
"I'm fine." Sakura tried to assure them, but was failing.
"Hmm… that wound looks pretty nasty… maybe you should stop train for now and go to the hospital, or pay a visit to Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi suggested.
"Um, okay then… I guess I'll be going then…" Sakura got up and started to walk away. 'Baka!!' Inner Sakura raged. 'I'm a medical nin, I can heal myself!!!' Sakura gritted her teeth as she walked away from her group, with her hand on her injury, healing herself while walking away.
Further ahead, she spotted Ino also in front of the Hokage's building with a nasty wound on her leg that she was healing. "Hey, Ino." Sakura said as she walked towards Ino. "Hm? Oh, hi Sakura." Ino said, trying to hide the wound on her leg, but stopped when she saw Sakura's own wound.
"Wounded during training?" Sakura asked, with light sounding voice.
"Um… yeah…. You too?" Ino asked even though she probably already knew the answer.
"…Yeah…" Sakura answered quietly.
"Hey, Sakura?" Ino asked after they stood in silence for a few minutes, still not moving from their spots in front of the Hokage's building.
"Yeah, Ino?" Sakura asked. "Well… you know about that time at the Moochi shop?" Ino said cautiously.
"Yeah? What about it?" Sakura said lazily, not looking at Ino.
"Well…if we decide to train with them to become stronger and to unlock the secrets that are missing…" Ino started to say.
"What's your point Blondie?" Sakura said airily. "Just get to the point already!" Sakura told Ino after Ino responded to her with 'Pinkie!'
"Okay, Okay, Sakura! The point is: why don't we teach the other kunoichis to be medical ninjas too? That way, we'll all be medics, and 'regular' ninja!" Ino exclaimed.
"… You know…" Sakura said and turned to look at Ino. "That might just work!!" Sakura smiled happily at Ino.
Ino smiled back. "Well then! What are we waiting for? Let's go!" and together, they went into Tsunade's office, asking for medical scrolls that they could borrow to help them practice their medical skills.
(+Wednesday Morning/ Training Grounds/ The Sand Team+)
"Hey, Temari? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, why?" Temari asked.
"Well, your attacks are getting a little more… I don't know how to put it… but doesn't it seem to be a little… I don't know… dull? Weak?"
"What are you trying to say, Kankuro?" Temari demanded. "Are you guys saying that I am weak, and getting weaker?"
"…"
Temari glared at her team and snapped her fan open. "Okay! That's fine with me! I'm going train elsewhere—see you guys later!" Temari yelled, hopped on her fan and glided to some treetops elsewhere, and started to attack the trees using her giant fan.
'I can't believe it! My teammates/siblings, my mentor/uncle think that I'm getting weaker!' Temari attacked another tree. It fell halfway to the ground and stopped. 'But… are they right?' Temari thought as she attacked another tree.
(+Thursday Morning/ Training Grounds/ Team Gai+)
"TenTen-chan, are you sure that you are okay?" Lee asked worriedly.
"I'm FINE, Lee." TenTen said as she got up. "Keep going!" She ordered and rushed towards him. Neji wasn't there because of some Hyuuga family business, so TenTen was sparring with Lee, and she decided that it was nice to spar with other people besides Neji once in a while.
"Okay, let's take a break." Lee told her.
"Okay." TenTen agreed.
A few minutes later, they heard, "LEE!! HOW ARE YOU MY YOUTHFUL STUDENT?" It was Gai and Neji.
"I AM VERY YOUTHFUL AND TENTEN IS LEARNING OUR YOUTHFUL WAYS!!!" Lee shouted. Neji smirked a little but Gai gave Lee a smile.
Neji and Gai finally were in front of Lee and TenTen, and Gai shouted, "WELL THEN LEE! LET US GO OFF ON SOME YOUTHFUL TRAINING IN THE GYMASIAM BEHIND HOKAGE-SAMA'S OFFICE!!"
"YES GAI-SENSEI!!" Lee shouted and the two jogged off singing/chanting about "YOUTHFULNESS".
Neji smirked. "So you were training with Lee?" TenTen glared at him.
"Yes, because you were 'busy' with your 'family' business. Why are you asking? Is there something wrong with that?" She asked.
He shrugged and said, "Well it's time to spar. Get up." He ordered. TenTen glared at him before getting up.
A few hours later, TenTen was panting. "Are we done yet?" she huffed.
"No. Keep going unless you are unable to." He told her.
She gave him a death glare before resuming their training. Half an hour later, TenTen said, "Okay, Neji. Can we stop now?"
Neji looked at her. "Are you so weak that you are unable to go on so quickly?"
Now TenTen glared at him. "Give me a break already!" she screamed. "I was sparring with Lee before you and Gai got here, and he is a tough opponent!" TenTen glared at Neji. "I. Am. Going. Home. Now." She told him through gritted teeth, grabbed her stuff and left.
Neji shrugged and said, "Whatever."
'Grr!!' TenTen thought furiously. 'That baka… I have to admit that Lee is formidable opponent… can't he give me a break… I've been sparring with him ever since I was teamed up with him and Lee…' TenTen thought angrily as she kicked some rocks out of her way.
At home, she replayed the day's events in her head. When she realized that Neji had suggested that she might be "so weak and is unable to keep training after a short period of time" TenTen grabbed the first sharp object she saw (which happened to be some kitchen knives) and she threw them at the kitchen walls and doors.
(+Saturday at the Moochi Shop+)
"Hello." Temari said curtly to the other four kunoichi. They nodded in reply.
"So lemme guess." Temari said dryly. "Our teammates think that we are weak and only getting weaker, therefore we do not deserve to be and to be called ninja—am I right?" the other four kunoichi nodded in agreement. "Well, we'll show them, won't we now." Temari said dryly.
"But-But how?" Hinata asked nervously. "Hmm… I guess that we can secretly train together… somewhere unknown… Somewhere private… somewhere that we won't be disturbed…." Temari pondered.
TenTen smiled. "We can meet at my house." The other four kunoichi looked at her. "My 'sister and brother' are never home, hence their missions, and I have plenty of space so we can train, so long as no one touches anything…" TenTen explained. "That sounds good…" Temari said.
"Well what are we waiting for then?" Ino asked. "Let's go!" Sakura said enthusiastically. "And beside, me and Sakura have a surprise for you guys!" Ino said with a little twinkle in her eye, and she gestured to the covered baskets that she and Sakura were carrying.
"… Okay then…. Follow me." TenTen said and together, they left the Moochi Shop and went to TenTen's house.
+At TenTen's House+
"Wow…" Temari, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata commented as they looked around TenTen's empty two-story house. TenTen shrugged and lead them to the kitchen.
"Okay Sakura. Ino. Spill. What are the surprises?" TenTen asked, gesturing to the covered baskets that they had brought. Sakura and Ino giggled a little before lifting the cloth covering the baskets.
"So they're scrolls. What's so good about it?" Temari asked.
Sakura and Ino grinned. "These are not just any scrolls, Temari." Sakura explained. "These are scrolls that medic ninja use to help them train." Ino told them.
Realization dawned on TenTen, Hinata, and Temari's faces. "B-But that means… A-Are we even allowed to do this?" Hinata asked nervously.
Ino shrugged. "I don't know, but I don't care. Anyways, wouldn't it be cool if we all were medical ninja and 'regular' ninja?" Ino asked. "Well... I guess so…" TenTen said doubtfully. "Oh come on!" Sakura said and gave TenTen a friendly punch in the arm. "Hey!" TenTen shouted, and rubbed her arm.
"Lighten up, TenTen!" Ino laughed. "This is supposed to be secret training anyways, so lets make the best out of it!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Well… Okay then. Let's do it!" Temari shouted. "YEAH!!" The five kunoichi cried and that was the start of their secret training sessions.
