Naruto Filler: Tenten's Kimono Business Chapter 3.
Continued…
Tenten had just awakened from her dream. She was some Konoha goddess and it started to relieve her when she woke up after the guys in her dream had tried to pick her up.
But Tenten had an outrageous thought. What if she really dressed up for real? Not in a kimono, but a really sexy and sleazy outfit.
Tenten pulled out her hair ties and let her brown hair sway around. Nice…
She opened a bottle of Hairspray, Scented Vanilla and sprayed her hair around.
Then, Tenten went into her walkout closet and tried to put together the best outfit she could find and hurried out the door, to the Training Grounds where her team promised to meet.
Out on the streets, no one smiled at her. No one drooled on her. No one even looked at her. Tenten felt a pang of disappointment, but continued to strut towards the Training Grounds where she spotted her team.
Lee was setting up the straw dummies and the equipment while Gai was tying up targets on trees. Neji was sitting under the shaded tree, meditating.
"Umm…hi guys." Tenten waved towards Lee.
"Oh! Good morning, Tenten!" Lee smiled and went back to what he was doing.
Tenten looked disappointed but approached Gai.
"Hi, Gai-sensei." She said hoping for at least a compliment.
"Oh! Good morning, Tenten!" Gai smiled and went back to what he was doing.
Tenten plopped her head down, slanting towards her shoulders. She sweat dropped and faced Neji with a hopeful look on her face.
Neji's eyes remain closed.
"Hey, Neji." Tenten lost hope.
"Hi" Neji replied not even bothering to look up.
Tenten sighed and set her back down by the tree and practice began. This practice was like every normal practice. They aimed at some targets, jumped around trees, practiced Taijutsu. Tenten sparred with Neji and Gai sparred with Lee like always. Tenten helped Neji practiced his Kaiten and Gai and Lee used Drunken Fist.
Tenten grew more upset every minute of practice. She wondered if the dream told her that she should lose hope in trying to be beautiful. She was always going to remain that hopeless tomboy. That girl who picked on Lee when they were little. That girl who everyone else referred to as, "Lee's or Neji's teammate."
But Tenten kept her face up. She wasn't about to spill tears to her teammates.
Tenten used Rising Twin Dragons (see episode 43) and Neji blocked it with his Kaiten.
After practice was over, Lee and Gai started to blabber that droned out Tenten's awareness. They packed up all the equipment and sat down next to the tree to rest
Tenten was preoccupied. She drank her water bottle while the others talked.
"Tenten?" Lee asked.
"…"
"Tenten?" Lee asked.
"…"
"TENTEN!" Lee asked. (More like screamed)
"HUH? WHAT?" Tenten snapped back to reality.
"What is the matter? You're so out of it today, Tenten." Lee and Gai said.
"Are you fatigued or something?" Neji asked.
Tenten grunted and turned her head away. "I'm fine."
Lee turned to Gai and they both shrugged and went back to their useless blabber. The sun noon sun shined brightly above them, and they decided to leave.
The others gathered their equipment but Tenten just stood up and retrieved a fist load of kunai.
"You guys go. I'm gonna practice some more." Tenten muttered.
Lee and Gai smiled at Tenten and waved good-bye. Neji watched as Tenten hurled several kunai with great force, that the target practically flew backwards into the sky. It's called anger.
Neji raised a confused but impressed eyebrow.
Tenten continued to hurl kunai until the whole target was covered. Neji decided to hide behind some bushes to see what Tenten was really mad at.
Tenten descended into the air and she flung her last remaining kunai onto the tree which hit the circle that was the target.
She panted. Neji watched.
Tenten stomped back to her backpack and kicked the dummy underneath her feet. She wiped off her sweat with the backside of her hand and began to hurl her weapons again.
Neji waited at least an hour. The training ground was covered with kunai by then. Shuriken and chain axes littered the whole place. It was like a weapon hurricane ripped through.
Tenten gasped for breath. In her hand, was the last kunai. Her outfit was covered with dirt and sweat. Suddenly, Neji realized something. Is that a new outfit? He wondered.
It hit Neji like a brick. Oh no. She must have thought we would have noticed her outfit but instead, we ignored her. This must be what's bothering her.
Tenten flung the kunai with the last of her energy and collapsed onto the ground. Neji quickly hopped to his feet and rushed to Tenten.
"Hey! You ok?" Neji asked.
Tenten weakly opened her eyes and stared at Neji kneeling beside her. All the feelings of anger rushed back to her.
She sat back up, almost conking Neji in the head.
"I'm fine." Tenten grunted angrily.
Neji looked puzzled by Tenten's angered state.
Tenten tried to hop up to her feet, but after using the last of her chakra to summon her weapons, she immediately collapsed again, but this time, Neji caught her.
He grabbed her right arm, and slung it over his right shoulder and helped her balance herself and he walked her back to the tree to sit down.
Neji set Tenten by the shade and gave her the water bottle.
Tenten gasped for breath and pushed the water bottle aside. Her eyes shot daggers into Neji's eyes.
Neji sighed and crossed his arms, taking a seat next to her.
"Ok. Spill. What's wrong?" Neji asked.
"Nothing that concerns you!" Tenten said abruptly.
"Tell me." Neji said.
"Forget it."
"Tell me."
"I said no."
"TELL ME!"
"MAKE ME!"
After a silence, Neji cleared his throat and said, with one final threat. "If you don't tell me, I'll use Byakugan to look down your shirt again."
Tenten flushed and attempted to bring out her kunai to slice and dice Neji into little cubes, before she realized that she ran out.
"No way will you have the guts to look my shirt!" Tenten argued.
"You want to bet?" Neji replied. He then closed his eyes and reopened them. A cluster of veins surround his pupils and he looked at Tenten's chest with Byakugan.
Tenten decided Neji was bluffing and crossed her arms and huffed, thinking that Neji wasn't really doing it. Just testing her nerve.
"Whoa. A lacy pink bra." Neji muttered as he scanned her chest.
"What are you talking about?" Tenten smirked and thought to herself, I was wearing a black bra today, not a pink one. Ha! I knew he was bluffing.
But then, Tenten scanned her memories and discovered…that she really was wearing a lacy pink bra today!
Her black bra had been dirty this morning, so she wore her pink one!
But when Tenten remembered this, she immediately turned red. NEJI WAS RIGHT! AND HE DID HAVE THE NERVE TO LOOK DOWN HER SHIRT! Tenten's face turned so red, that Hinata herself would have laughed at Tenten, pointing. It was so red; people would think she was an Uchiha, due to her Sharingan red face.
Tenten shrieked and hugged her chest trying to get Neji to quit it. I AM KILLING NEJI! Tenten thought.
Neji quickly retreated his Byakugan and stared.
"Now…let's try this again. Tell me what's wrong." He said.
"…"
"TELL ME!" Neji said his voice harder this time.
"…"
"WANT ME TO USE BYAKUGAN AGAIN?"
"YOU'RE SO MEAN!" Tenten yelled.
"Will you tell me now?" Neji asked one more time.
Tenten sighed. "Ok…fine."
