Disclaimer:I still unfortunately do not over naruto or any other references I may make. (Pouts in my emo corner)
Neji activated his byakugan and tenten spoke. "Do you see him anywhere?" neji nodded taking off with tenten hot on his trail. "He's up ahead, there are nine other chakra signatures with him." He deactivated his byakugan and tenten's blood ran cold over the scene she stumbled upon. "You ninja are just second rate." Neji narrowed his eyes. "Huh that's pretty tough talk i guess that makes your village third rate, I wonder if any of you amateurs are ready to take on the real thing." "Oh lee." she mumbled and neji let out a growl. "You blow it."
Tenten could say he was pissed. "You used our teammate as a punching bag nobody does that and get away with it." His byakugan activated quickly as he glanced at her. "No more holding back tenten full power." Tenten nodded and quickly grabbed her kunai only to have neji deactivate his kekkei genkai. "neji?" she asked and the weird mummy thing began sassing them only to have neji smirk. "It's out of my hands now."
Tenten frowned then stiffened completely. "That power." she mumbled and minato growled from inside her mind. "Don't, we need to report this to the hokage immediately. Watch him closely don't let him harm the leaf genin." Tenten nodded then watched as a tattoo covered sasuke demolished the other team. "He's fast but he's nowhere near you and kurama's level of fast." Minato remained quiet but Kurama chuckled in dark amusement.
The banshee stepped forward and tenten tensed ready to spring only for her to easily calm her teammate. "It appears the uchiha has a soft spot for Pinky." Once everything was calmed down tenten walked over to lee and started smacking him. "Wake up lee." he snapped his eyes open. "Tenten-chan? Where is sakura." a soft smile found it's way across tenten's face as she stared at her teammate. "She's fine lee."
"Where's naruto?" Minato asked in worry and tenten scanned the area and relaxed when her eyes landed on said blonde who at the moment was being woken up by the other genin. "Something's wrong." Kurama mumbled. Tenten frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?" Kurama suddenly released a growl as Naruto sprang up. "That snake blocked his connection to my other half." Tenten wearily looked naruto over. "What do you mean?" 'He means naruto no longer has access to the nine tails chakra." Tenten paled at this realization.
"Will he be ok?" Minato sighed in exasperation. "He'll be fine but we need to reverse the 5 prong seal from him as soon as possible." Tenten nodded in understanding and watched with a small smile as sakura walked over thanking lee for his help making him blush. "You're welcome sakura-chan." He stuttered up and Minato sighed dreamily from inside her mind. "Young love." Tenten snorted down a laugh and hugged naruto to her when he shouted her name and practically tackle hugged her. "I'm happy you're ok naruto." he beamed sunshine and rainbows at her then went on to tell her all about him and his team getting attacked by some weird lady.
"Orochimaru?" Tenten questioned minato who groaned in annoyance. "Why do you know these things." Tenten rolled her eyes at the blonde. "Lady tsunade is someone i idolize i know everything there is to know about her and her team especially now that i have access to the Hokage's secret library." Minato shook his head with a groan. "ofcourse." Tenten narrowed her eyes at him in thought. A light bulb went off in her head, she growled out. "Were you going to try and hide this from me?" Minato shrugged casually. "It would have been for your own good as a lower ranking ninja there are certain things that are need to know for you and other things that aren't." Kurama sighed at him. "Nice going there." Minato glanced at the redhead in confusion but stiffened when tenten's voice cut through the clearing. "I see." she said nothing more and minato watched in surprised as a storm cloud rolled through the clearing.
"This upsets her?" he didn't get a response and realized tenten was blocking them. Now pissy tenten gave a humph and glared at lee demanding they head out. Both of her teammates shot her a cautious look wondering what brought on the attitude change. "The towers up ahead." Neji pointed out and tenten sighed with a nod.
Tenten watched in barely contained aggravation as lee and gai-sensei had a tearful reunion. After he explained the writing in the wall him and lee started crying and holding each other. She twitched when gai told them to head to their room until the other teams arrived. When they got to their room tenten huffed once again. Then promptly turned and shot the anbu at her window a death glare.
"What?" cat shook her head at the genin. "Lord Hokage wishes to speak with you." Tenten sighed and nodded gesturing for cat to lead the way. "What has put you in a bad mood?" cat asked the genin and tenten huffed once again before massaging her head. "It's nothing." Cat hummed but didn't push her for an answer as both women stopped outside of an old door that cat tapped on lightly. "Enter." cat and tenten entered quickly and car bowed before disappearing from view.
The familiar barrier went into place and tenten sighed before letting minato then kurama take over so they could be apart of the conversation. Once each of them were in their respective clones tenten relaxed. "We have a problem Lord third." Minato spoke seriously anko was relaxed up against a wall and sighed. "Damn right we have a problem. These exams need to be canceled or sasuke uchiha needs to be pulled." Hiruzen sighed in aspersion. "If we end the exams or pull sasuke then Orochimaru will retaliate along with most of the village." Anko hissed.
Tenten sighed. "The mark on sasuke, can it be sealed?" everyone looked at each other quickly. "It can be. I've spoken with kakashi and he wishes to do a small will seal, as long as the boy has a strong will it'll keep the seal at bay." Tenten shook her head. "He has too much hatred for a will seal to work." Minato hummed thoughtfully. "I could do a three layer seal." Minato Suggested and tenten once again shook her head the rest of the room melting away as they talked. "What if we perform a transfer jutsu on the mark. We could transfer it over to something else and he would be rid of it." Minato looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Orochimaru would become suspicious, no one would be able to do a transfer jutsu to that magnitude except for myself or maybe..." Minato trailed off and tenten huffed at him. "Jiraiya, but he would have to be informed of your return so he could take the credit if orochimaru starts looking around." Minato glared at her and tenten glared right back both tense. Kurama sighed and walked forward. "Can't we just let him have the uchiha?" this snapped both of them out they're small glaring match only to glare at kurama. "No." he smirked and moved away as the room was swept into silence.
"I agree with the kid." Anko finally spoke taking Tenten's side immediately hiding behind said girl slightly when Minato's glare turned to her. "I also agree with tenten." Minato's glare moved to hiruzen who then also hid behind Tenten.
Tenten rolled her eyes at them then turned to Minato glaring back at his glare. "It's happening Minato you can be apart of it or you can brood." Minato looked away from her and looked out the window. Tenten sighed her gaze softening. "It's know you're mad at him but letting him know doesn't mean you have to forgive him." The stubborn look in Minato's eyes disappeared and his shoulders slumped in defeat. "Fine."
Tenten grinned and gave him a quick hug that he reciprocated. "Finally, it only took 6 months." Tenten shook her head as Minato chuckled. Moving away her eyes landed on Hiruzen. "So how do we do with." Hiruzen cut his eyes to kurama who lazily leaned against the wall watching the two of them with a gleam of affection. "Firstly I'll need to borrow kurama." Kurama glanced at hiruzen with a raised eyebrow and tenten stiffened her and Minato both moving to block the hokage's view of the tailed beast.
"Why?" Minato bit out and Hiruzen gave a small chuckle at their protectiveness while Kurama shot a foxy grin to their backs. "I would like his help in ensuring the preliminaries go off without a hitch, Also the rest of the exams a month tops, I would have like Minato's help but it's safer if he stays inside your mind." Tenten rose and eyebrow. "Preliminaries?" Hiruzen nodded quickly releasing a small sigh. "Their are too many genin that passed this year we'll have to at least cut them in half and it's only the second day i'm sure more are coming." Tenten looked thoughtful before a huge grin took over her face.
"Sweet!" Minato just rose and eyebrow and Hiruzen shook his head at the girl. "Don't tell any of the other teams i want it to be a surprised." Hiruzen smirked and Tenten giggled. "You got it chief." she lightly hit Minato with her hip and rose an eyebrow at him that he sighed at. "I'll catch up later lord Third." Minato puffed out the room and Tenten turned swiftly to Kurama and began patting his head when his tail wrapped around her and brung her to his level. "If anything happens just expel your clone." he just smirked a her before placing her down on the ground.
Tenten shot him a look that made his smirk grow. "Behave." she then turned to Hiruzen and anko. "Have fun if he doesn't behave just call me maybe?" she then whistled and walked out the room leaving the kage and jonin alone with the tailed beast. "Well i'm gonna go." anko chuckled awkwardly before practically running from the room. An awkward silence followed in her wake. "Will i just be staying with you until this is over?" Kurama finally asked slight annoyance in his voice. Hiruzen cleared his throat and walked over to a drew taking out some clothes and handing the to the kitsune.
"You're going to me my personal anbu until the end of the exams, These are your anbu regulation uniform." Kurama narrowed his eyes at the cloths then smirked at the fox mask. "All you'll have to do is conceal your tails and ears the mask will hide you eye's." Hiruzen cleared his throat and turned away. "Ill leave you to get ready." As soon as he was done kurama just stared at the cloths. "Why did i agree to this?" a little voice in the back of his head chuckled darkly. "You didn't you just went along with it." kurama just shook his head at himself before stripping and quickly changing.
"I despise anything that isn't a kimono." kurama snarled before closing his eyes. "This is going to be a long month."
Tenten smirked as soon as she was back into her room. "How long until he bails?" Minato asked and Tenten's smirk grew larger. "I don't even give him a week." Minato snorted at her. "A week i don't even give it a day." Tenten giggled slightly.
It was a fact that kurama hated everyone. His temper was legendary for a reason. She was honestly surprised the Hokage asked for his assistance to begin with. Kurama was also very very lazy he took lazy to the next level. The fact that kurama went along with this was just as surprising and extremely amusing to the say the least. "It's gonna be a long month." She mumbled under her breath another giggle escaping that Minato chuckled at.
A small part of the second part of the chunin exams before before the preliminaries start ooo ahhhh...Hmmm i'm curious about something. Should i just kill Orochimaru off. I mean orochimaru is a threat but i'm pretty positive that Minato and Hiruzen plus probably Kurama could straight up destroy orochimaru in the third part of the exams. Who should i have tenten fight in the preliminaries? I was thinking maybe having her kick sakura's ass and giving the girl a reality check on what a real konichi is. Or maybe have her go against ino? Anyone except temari. (Wiggles eyebrow) I Got plans for temari and tenten. What do you Gals and guys think? Also i plan on having tenten go up against dosu at some point so how does one combat sound waves if you have any ideas let me know. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Till next time!
