I don't own Naruto

Hey! Tenten is coming back to Konoha, so hold on tight! Forgive me for my crappy titles, again.

Chapter 4

Return and Test.

"She'll come back within two weeks gentlemen!" Gai shouted happily. "So she's still alive?" a girl asked. Gai became a bit irritated. It was okay for him if someone of Neji's fan club wanted to help him with his training, but this was going too far. "Aw!" she yelled. "Sorry I hit an important tenketsu." Neji said.

Tenten hit the ground. "Give me a break!" she yelled at the man. 'So this is her limit?' he thought. She hadn't complained for 2.5 months. She was out of breath and tears came from her eyes. "Five minutes." he said and left the training room. Tenten turned on her back and stared at the roof of the building. Her fingers bleeded heavily and she had once again passed her limit. "This house is not a home!" she yelled when she thought of Chiharu's statement of how beautiful her home was. 'They never said it was good what I did.' "No!" she yelled. 'This is not a time for self compassion.' She stood up (with a lot of difficulty) and picked her chain up. The man came in with a smile on his face. "Let's continue." she said while she tightened her forehead protector, proud to be a Konoha ninja who had inherited the will of fire.

"Hey, hey." said Izumo. "What?" said Kotetsu annoyed. "She's here." Tenten walked through the gate. 'I've missed this place.' She was immediately summoned to the hokage. "I'm glad to see you safe and sound." Tenten nodded. "Can I ask you something?" Tenten asked. 'There is a lot more power in her eyes than before.' the hokage thought. She nodded. "Why is my sister after me?" The hokage stared at the ground. "Because it was said when you were little that you had something she didn't." Tenten stared at her with a questioning face. "Like what?" "I don't know. There was an old lady who said that neither of you would be able to live when the other one survives. She probably said that because you were both jealous of each other. That's all I can say, now go to your team, they've missed you." Tenten smiled, bowed and left the office.

"Neji!" 'Hasn't he heard about speaking on a normal tone?' Neji thought. "What's wrong?" he asked. Lee jumped on the wall of the Hyuuga training ground. "She's back!" Neji's eyes widened. He jumped up.

The first one Tenten saw was Gai-sensei. He walked up to her and hugged her. "I thought I could find you at this training ground." she said with a smile. "I'm really glad to see you!" Gai said in his nice guy pose. Because she hadn't seen him in a long time, she didn't mind. "Tenten!!" Lee ran over to her and hugged her while he rotated her. "Lee, you know, people need to breath every once in a while." Lee didn't really get it right away, but when he did he let her go. She coughed for a second and then smiled at him. After a moment her eyes widened. "You've grown Lee!" She saw Neji walking up to her. "Hey!" she said happily. "We're going to get something so we can pick nick." Gai said immediately while he pulled Lee with him. "I'm happy to see you." he said. She smiled at him. "You've grown even more than Lee." she said "hn." They just stood there and stared at each other.

"I challenge you, Tenten!" said a fan girl (the one of before). Tenten sighed. "I haven't had any breaks the past three months, just leave me alone!" The fan girl didn't take that. (sorry I'm too lazy to come up with a name, I had the same with her two trainers in the house of artistic death). "I'll attack you, if you want it or not." When she started to sprint to Tenten she was already attached to a tree. "Huh?" Neji smirked. "That was quick, you could at least have given her the chance to feel strong." Tenten smiled. "She's annoying." Neji smirked. They walked away from the girl and her stupid pranks.

"I'm really happy to see you." Tenten said. Neji stared at her. "Was it that hard?" Tenten stared at him and smiled. She sighed. "Its not worth to talk about." This time Neji stared at her intently. "Tell me." She heard in his voice that he really wanted to know. "It was, well, terrible. They never gave me a break and they never said something positive." She paused and he realized she was searching for words to explain what she had been through. "My body didn't want to move the way I wanted to. And they weren't understanding back there." She smiled but he saw sadness in it. "Do you have to go back?" She stared at the ground. "Yes." she said. He took her hand. She blushed. "You'll get through it." he said. They stared at each others eyes until Neji broke the silence. "What happened to your forehead protector?" Tenten smiled sadly. "It broke." She took something out of her pocket. Neji got a bit nervous when he saw her forehead protector. There were huge holes in the cloth and scratches all over the leaf carved in it. "What did you do?" Tenten smiled rubbing her head sheepishly. "I think I need a new one." "Then, let's go." he said. Tenten smiled and followed him.

That night when Tenten was almost asleep someone knocked on her door. 'Who can that be?' she thought. She opened the door. "We've been summoned by the hokage." said Gai. "I'm coming." she said almost immediately.

"I want to test you Tenten." the Hokage said. Tenten blinked with her eyes. "Why?" she asked curious. "Those weapon attacks are dangerous for your health, but I'm sure you're already aware of that." Tenten stared at the ground. "I want to see how your body is reacting to all of this." Tenten stared at the hokage for a moment but nodded anyway. "Then I want to see you tomorrow afternoon at the fourth training ground."

"Do I have to do this alone?" she asked Gai. "I think so. I don't even know who your opponent will be." he answered. Tenten sighed. "Is it that dangerous?" Gai asked. Tenten stared at him. "It depends." she answered. "On what?" he asked. Tenten stared at the sky. "Everything."

Tenten walked up to the training ground. The hokage was already waiting for her there. "Who is going to be my opponent?" she asked. The hokage pointed at a man who stood behind her. 'Who's that?' she thought. "This is the last weapon master, he quitted teaching because of your sister." "My sister?" "She's so dangerous, and that's kind of my fault." he said while he stared at the ground. Tenten blinked. "I'm sure they learned you all kind of hard and dangerous techniques." he said. Tenten nodded. "I'll test how good you really are. I'm going to attack you the way your sister would." The hokage stared at Tenten. "Are you sure you want this Tsunade?" the man asked. Tsunade sighed. "I don't have many options." she answered dark.

"Are you ready?" the man asked. "Ready when you are." she answered. She took her scroll. They both just stared at each other waiting for a moment to begin.

Neji and Lee were waiting for Gai and Tenten. "Why in heavens name is Gai late?" said Lee. "Neji, do you know something I don't?" Neji shook his head. "How am I supposed to know something more?" Lee stared at him for a moment and then turned around. "I'm sorry I'm late." Gai said. A bird flew up in a panic. "Boom!"

Hope I'll see you next time! Will Tenten win? And what kind of jutsu did she learn?

Sayonara.
