Chapter five: Tenten's new friends

Lee gasped. "You!" Neji glared at Lee. "Sorry. It's just that… you… like someone. And Tenten. I thought you hated her."

Neji frowned. "I thought I did too. But now that she doesn't care anything for me. I'm starting to really see the true feelings I feel for her (I know, that's ooc for neji)." Lee laughed for a sec. "maybe you shouldn't have treated her the way you did. She probably would still like you." Said Lee.

But Neji kept glaring at him.

With Tenten

Tenten was running and she threw a punch at a punching bag, and it tore open. "That was cool." Said Naruto with his normal grin. Tenten smiled. "I found out I'm really strong."

Sasuke scoffed. Tenten gasped angrily and walked over to him. "What was that all about!" Sasuke just looked away. Then Naruto and Sakura pulled her away. "You don't want to face him. Atleast not now." Said Sakura.

Then once Tenten was free she snapped her finger. "I got a idea. When I think I'm ready, I'll fight Sasuke. When I win against him, I'll try and fight Neji. I'm so smart."

Sakura laughed. "Okay. Lets continue training."

Next day

Tenten had become close to her new, sort of teammates. Especially Sakura. But not at all Sasuke!

After she trained a bit with them, she said her good byes, and decided to train some with her real team. When she arrived, Lee jumped in joy. "I'm so glad to see you again. So, how is Sakura?" tenten laughed at that. "I knew you would ask me about your Sakura flower. And, she is good. We're friends."

"I knew it! Can you find a way to hook us up?" he asked, seeming hyper about it. "I'll try." Chuckled tenten. Neji overheard their conversation. "Umm, I hear something about hooking up."

Tenten scoffed. "Like you care." Neji frowned. Why was he so mean to her? It wasn't his fault she was weak to him. But still… Neji will be Neji. A jerk.

Tenten and Lee were sparring, and Tenten had punched Lee to the ground with a loud thud! "Wow. Where did you get all this strength?" "I don't know."

Later

" Alright. We're done for the day my youthful students." Said Gai, and the group parted for home or wherever they were going. Tenten was going home when she saw her sort of teammates, team 7.

"Hey guys!" she said waving to them. Sakura smiled and ran over to her with Naruto. As Sakura came up, she remembered that Lee wanted her to hook him up with Sakura. Normally she wouldn't care to do anything that good for Lee, but he was being nice to her ever since Neji was acting like a jerk to her.

But, she decided to wait until tomorrow to do anything. "What's up?" asked Naruto. Tenten smiled and noticed Sasuke was leaving. "Nothing really. Just getting stronger." This was the only thing that popped out of her mouth.

It was late and she wanted to get a little sleep. "Well, just wanted to say hi. See yah tomorrow." They said their good byes and parted.

She knew she was strong. But not as strong as Neji. It would take a while until she became strong enough. Maybe even one on one training with Kakashi. If he could get his freakin face out of that stupid book. (and find out some secrets about gai.. hehe.)
