Chapter Three: The Stone Beast Meets the Rest of Konoha
Hyperia managed to meet Tenten, and found that the girl was actually someone she could talk to about things that she was curious about when it came to Konohagakure, seeing she didn't know this village very well. Rock Lee was also good at helping out during the tour he gave her the second day she had been here.
Today though, Hyperia was a lone, seeing Lee and Tenten had a team meeting, Hyperia had decided to go wander around the village, seeing this would be her place of residence for awhile no doubt. So here she was, wandering aimlessly down the streets of Konohagakure, she had made sure she remembered where Tenten's house was located, in case she didn't see Tenten.
She had the urge to train for some reason, so she decided to go see where the training grounds were, that all Konohagakure ninja usually went to. She knew Iwagakure had training grounds; usually the Tsuchi style using Nins would use rocks or something or other to train on. She of course loved using big rocks to practice her Rock Fist Style on them.
She managed to reach one of the training grounds, after some kind old person told her where all the Konoha ninja usually practiced at. Hyperia hyperly took off towards the training grounds, determined to maybe catch up with Lee and Tenten. Little did she know, she would instead of meeting up with them, she'd be meeting another team instead.
As she reached one of the training grounds, she heard someone shouting something, "Come on you guys you can do better then that!" The voice was masculine. Hyperia blinked and decided to go take a look by hiding in the bushes.
Standing there was a black spiky haired man with dark eyes, trying by the looks of it train with a few ANBU officers, that had their masks off. She knew they were ANBU because her Uncle had those always around him when he had been Tsuchikage. Suddenly she felt angry when she thought about her Uncle. Damn him, damn him for doing what he did to her family.
And also for some reason, her bloodlust that had been calm at this point had not gone unnoticed by the raven haired man, because suddenly she was almost hit with a Kunai blade that came at her, she ducked her head. Letting out a small cry of surprise to herself, she heard the man speak,
"You might as well come out right now, I know your there." Hyperia quickly popped her head up and looked at the man, and quickly spoke in a hyper like voice.
"Gomen Nasai…um sir…I didn't mean to spy on you and your um…team…I was merely trying to find an empty training ground…you wouldn't happen to know where um Tenten and Rock Lee would be right now would you?"
The man looked like he was chewing the inside of his cheek the man then finally spoke,
"I think they are over in the other training ground, having a team meeting from the last time I saw them…who are you anyway, I've never seen you here before…?"
"I'm um…a friend of Rock Lee's, my name is Hyperia…and you?" Spoke Hyperia in a slightly nervous toned voice. This guy scared her a little bit, judging by his chakra levels that she could sense from him.
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke," said the raven man. "Are you looking to spar or something?"
Hyperia nodded, "Hai…I was looking for a sparring match, but I really just want to train a little bit."
Sasuke smirked, "I could spar with you if you want, I'm not due at the Hokage's office for awhile." He was interrupted by one of his ANBU squad.
"Taichou-San…don't you have to train us though? We have a mission tomorrow…" Sasuke sighed and turned to look at them, "You can watch and take notes…this shouldn't take too long…anyway…"
Hyperia blinked and giggled and shook her head, "You shouldn't underestimate me…Uchiha-San…seriously, the last person who did that, um…kind of end up in the hospital…" She then quickly took a fighting stance.
Sasuke chuckled, "Little over confident aren't we…" he then eyed her fighting stance, was she a taijutsu user maybe? Who knew right? He then decided to try a direct approach and came rushing at her, fist ready to punch the girl.
Hyperia saw the attack coming and quickly dodged to the side, and launched an attack by swinging her foot to kick him in the ribs, sending Sasuke to the ground, coughing up blood. Hyperia giggled,
"I told you not to underestimate me Uchiha-San…I've heard about your Clan, or what's left of it…anyway…apparently you're the only survivor left now right?" spoke Hyperia, she knew about the Uchiha Clan, only because of the rumors and such.
This girl had embarrassed Sasuke, how the hell had she managed to get him like that? He growled at her as he got up and tried to rush at her again.
"I'm going to make you pay for that midget girl…"
Hyperia's eye twitched at hearing the forbidden word, she then quickly dodged and yelled as she tried to punch at Sasuke with this time a Rock Fist Style Attack, "I AM NOT A MIDGET I AM NOT SMALL NOR AM I A CHIBI!" "GRRR TAKE THIS!" She then began terrorizing the entire training ground in a fit of rage.
Rock Lee had been sparring with Neji seeing he had some spare time on his hands when he wasn't being called away on ANBU ranked missions, when he heard a loud crashing sound, the sound of trees falling perhaps. Lee blinked and looked towards his teammates, he felt bad for having to leave Hyperia alone at Tenten's house while he and her had come to spar with Neji. Perhaps he would make his amends to her and promise to spar with her when he was finished here.
Tenten was practicing a new projectile weapons jutsu at this moment, her concentration broke when she heard the sound and she almost got injured if it wasn't for Neji's quick thinking when he caught her and such. Tenten thanked Neji quietly and eyed Lee, asking,
"What the heck was that Lee?"
Lee blinked twice and then said, "Sounds like someone's having a fight…I don't know…maybe we should go look."
Neji had paused as he tried to listen, "That sounds like your Rock Ninja friend Lee…" spoke the stoic Hyuuga, crossing his arms. Lee and Tenten looked at each other for a moment before the two of them said, almost in unision,
"How the hell could that be, I thought she was at Tenten's place…" "At my place!!"
Neji sighed and shook his head, "I don't know how she got there…" He then made a handsign and called out, "Byakugan!" He then quickly looked in the direction of where the racket had come from. His eyes widened in shock as he bit back a surprised gasp. He then spoke up,
"Lee…Tenten you better go and deal with her, before she destroys the entire training ground, and Hokage-sama has her thrown in jail or something."
Tenten and Lee looked at each other and quickly they ran in the direction of where Hyperia was undoubtedly terrorizing the crap out of poor Sasuke's ANBU team. When they got there, they were indeed very shocked.
Hyperia had some how managed to knock a few of the other ANBU members of Sasuke's Squad out, and by the looks of Sasuke's arm, who by the way had tried to hide from the rampaging Rock kunoichi, it looked like it had been broken in two places.
Lee shouted, "What the hell happened here Sasuke?" The two of them ran over to Sasuke's side, "Where's Hyperia?" asked Tenten.
Sasuke pointed towards one of the trees, "She passed out after taking out my entire squad, she's a freak…that strength of hers…I don't believe it…" Sasuke looked a little shaky. Lee looked surprised. Tenten looked to her teammate and then to Sasuke for a moment.
She then got up after having been crouched over examining Sasuke's injury. She then spoke to Lee,
"Lee…this is almost like your Suiken (Drunken Fist) fighting style, when you get drunk…" Lee was a little taken a back, "Tenten, I don't drink, even if I am legal age now…Sasuke what did you say to her or do to her to make her this angry?"
Sasuke tried to remember what he had said to make Hyperia go into a rampage like this, he then remembered at the start of their sparring match. She almost reminded him of Chouji whenever someone called him by the forbidden word.
"I called her a midget, that's all I remember…all I wanted to do was keep her busy seeing she wanted to spar with someone, seeing you guys were busy in the other training grounds." Said Sasuke.
Lee blinked again and then said, "Tenten take Sasuke to the hospital and inform Sakura-Chan if she's on duty what has transpired, she will no doubt have to get a medical team here to help the rest of Sasuke's squad, and if she asks, just say that it was a training accident…I'll deal with my friend."
Tenten nodded and carefully she helped Sasuke to his feet, knowing his arm was broken and he probably also sprained his ankle. Lee sighed and shook his head at the devastation that was around him. He waited for Tenten to disappear before he walked over to Hyperia.
He crouched over and reached over to brush a few free strands of her fiery red hair that had come loose from the messy ponytail that she always placed her hair in. She was so beautiful, and deadly.
'Why am I feeling like this for her…she's just a friend…yet I am also impressed, she alone managed to wipe out almost an entire ANBU team with just her taijutsu skills…' thought Rock Lee, wondering how to wake up Hyperia carefully.
He then leaned closer to her and gave her a small kiss on the cheek, just a friendly type of kiss, knowing she was just a friend right now. Hyperia's deep blue eyes slowly opened at feeling his lips on her cheek. Her face began to redden when she saw Lee was so close to her face.
"Lee-San…what are you…um…what are you doing?" Lee looked at her and said quickly,
"Hyperia…gomen nasai! I didn't mean to do that…I was just making sure you were alright…"
Hyperia then realized the destruction around her; she then began to stand up quickly, bowing her head to Lee, "Gomen nasai! Gomen Nasai Lee-San! I…I destroyed the training ground…I didn't mean too…"
She was silenced by Lee's bandaged finger on her lip; Lee had a look of seriousness on his face as he spoke to her.
"Hyperia-San…you are not in trouble at all, though Sasuke-San might hold a grudge against you now for breaking his arm, with whatever technique you used." He would put a mental note into his head to remind also his former teammates to never call Hyperia any sort of name that had to deal with her height and such. That it was a forbidden word.
Hyperia then tried to explain, "I…um…. I'm a master of my own taijutsu style…Lee-san…I kind of used that style on Uchiha-San, he called me a word that should be forbidden around me really, I'm sorry."
Lee listened to her words for a few minutes and that silly smile of his came onto his face, as if he had been given permission by his former sensei to use the Lotus. He had an idea in that head of his. He then spoke,
"Hyperia…I know a way we can put that style of yours to good use…I want you to come to the next training session my former teammates usually have when they aren't on missions for the Hokage."
Hyperia looked at him funnily for a moment and then said, "Um…okay I guess I could come then…but um…won't your Rokudaime be unhappy with the way I left this training ground?" She then pointed with a hand around to survey the damage in emphasize.
Lee waved her off, "Don't worry about that, Naruto-sama is more forgiving then perhaps the last Hokage we had…" He chuckled after this of course he was joking, " As for the rest of Sasuke-San's team, they'll recover quick enough." "Come on…Hyperia-san, I want to spar with you, I still have a lot of energy right now, we'll go somewhere else to train."
Hyperia nodded, "Okay let's go then…" She giggled and for someone who had just terrorized an entire team of ANBU, she certainly still had a lot of energy left to actually want to spar with Konoha's Green Beast.
"YOSH Let us go!" Shouted Lee, hyper like as he ran off with her, laughing all the way. Little did the pair know, someone was watching them this whole entire time, with jealousy in their eyes.
Hyperia was having the time of her life now, she had managed to make friends out of Neji and Tenten and even Sasuke, so far. She had met some of the other ninja who were people Lee worked with on missions at times.
And she knew now she felt like she belonged here in this village, unlike back in Iwagakure, they treated her so differently. Here she already felt like she had been living in Konohagakure for a very long time. She could get used to this she guessed.
Little did she know though, that someone was planning to make her stay here in Konohagakure, very rocky if not very short-lived.
