(Chapter 11: My First B-Rank)
Time had past since the Shimura Rebellion and things had changed for the village that within months time was soon repaired with one thing clear in that Danzo was now a wanted man with Minato putting him out in the Bingo Books as a A-ranked threat with D.O.A status on his person and now shinobi were on alert to be hunting down any ROOT Anbu. With the fact of the matter being that Naruto, Sasuke and Kiba being made near legendary in the academy for their defending of the village and the fact that they slayed so many enemies that they were considered nothing short of badasses something that the three of them took in stride as they hoped that soon enough this would influence them being on a team together considering the potent camaraderie between them .
The effect was much more so for Tenten with her being rewarded greatly considering that it was the equivalent to a A ranked mission for her which meant money that she could use it to have it go towards her making new armor for herself since unlike many kunoichi she knew the value of having armor knowing that its what would mean the difference between coming home alive or a sword to the spine. As she was excited for one simple fact that due to her exploits in the rebellion her team after some pleading with the Hokage and having Might Guy and Rock Lee due their mentally scarring genjutsu they were going on a B-ranked mission.
(Konoha, February 3rd 996 S.E, 3:09 Pm)
It was soon the middle of the day as Tenten was walking through the streets of Konoha with Naruto considering that next week she went on her first B ranked mission something of which made her extremely excited.
"Well I can't believe your gonna be going on such a great mission; although I gotta ask how did you convince him to let you go through with it since not many genin I'd know can get away with that?" Naruto questioned as to how Tenten got away with being able to get a B-ranked mission of all things
"It was really easy considering that if he didn't I threatened to have Rock Lee and Guy-sensei use that god awful genjutsu of theirs." Tenten responded as Naruto visibly cringed at the mention of such a thing
"Don't tell me twice about that as, no matter what I do I can't ever unsee that." Naruto spoke shuddering at the one time he happened to see that in action he knew that horrible thing was probably given to the pair by Loki himself
"As there is a reason I never mess around with you at all and that example is chief among them." Naruto added since he would never go against the bun haired girl on his life considering that the number 1 rule of their friendship you don't screw around with Tenten
"Exactly." Tenten simply responded since she was never a person to ever turn the other cheek
"So then what's the mission supposed to be about?" Naruto asked wondering what cool stuff she would be doing on her mission
"Well the thing is we're supposed to be bodyguarding the Daimyo's son." Tenten spoke in a dejected tone of voice
"You sound like that's a bad thing, as he can't be that bad." Naruto replied thinking that something of that caliber would be a bad thing
"Considering out of his two sons this one is a notorious playboy." Tenten responded in disgust
"It can't be that bad can it?" Naruto asked wondering the magnitude of how bad this could be
"Well he's nearly as bad as Jiraiya if that puts things into perspective for you." Tenten told the tall and imposing Viking beside her
As Naruto knew that for a lack of a better word that Jiraiya was despite his combative skill as one of the legendary Sannin he was a manwhore considering that when he wasn't being a spymaster or tutoring the twins he spent his free time at brothels with loose women or was peeping on women at the hot springs that Naruto was surprised he didn't have S.T.D's or a small legion bastard children out there at this point in time. To which made Naruto along with Sasuke beat the hell out of him considering that they caught him peeping on Tenten and Mikoto respectively and it was a good thing none of them knew any particularly lethal jutsu at the moment, for the toad sannin's sake.
"Wow that's incredibly bad and I feel extremely sorry for you Tenten, for do you want me to give him an almighty nut shot with my warhammer so that he won't be a perverse cunt to you?" Naruto asked wanting to know if his needing to give the perverse son of the daimyo a case of crushed nuts via warhammer
"I appreciate the sentiment Naruto, but I'm a big girl and I can handle myself just fine." Tenten responded since she knew her friend cared about her wellbeing greatly but his violent tendencies pushed it a little bit to the extreme at times
"That and it'd be a bad idea to render said daimyo's son a eunuch while I'm supposed to be protecting him." Tenten thought knowing that doing such a thing would be very bad for business
"Regardless Tenten I hope you stay relatively safe on this mission since I care about you alot and I just don't want you getting seriously injured is all." Naruto said to her since he was for all intents and purposes worried about her safety and wellbeing
"Thank you Naruto I appreciate your caring about me." Tenten responded finding it nice that Naruto cared about her so much
"Hey it's all in a day's work to see you happy." Naruto spoke since what was one of the top ten things for him was simply seeing Tenten happy
"I swear how someone hasn't taken you yet is beyond me. Because you're so nice and lovable that its infuriating because I swear up and down that you'd be a perfect boyfriend for someone." Tenten said since she was dumbstruck at how Naruto for some reason was still single
"Well its because like you I have my standards of who I date. With the main two of them being no fangirls and they have to have self confidence and energy to keep up with me. And as we've seen from how my class stacks up none of the girls there have any of that at all and if anything are massive disappointments especially Hinata." Naruto replied considering that those were apart of his standards that the girls in his class just didn't match up to with Hinata being a prime example of such
"Don't remind me of her since if there's one thing I agree with Neji about is the fact that Hinata is just worthless as a ninja and should just quit while she's ahead. As I know people have a stuttering problem and I can accept and respect that, but when she doesn't at least try and get it under control I find it very annoying." Tenten spoke finding Hinata's timidity and stuttering to piss her off greatly since she did nothing to try and control or negate it
"I agree Tenten because if I have to hear her stuttering again then I will not be held responsible for punching her in the face. Because we both know that I will punch her in the face is she continues to stutter in front of me in a conversation." Naruto spoke since he knew full well that he would punch the Hyuga heiress in the face
"Honestly in any other case I would tell you not to do that. But since this is Hinata you get a free pass to punch her however, hard you want just don't give her a concussion considering that you punch really hard." Tenten told him since she didn't want to explain why Hinata's face looked like a smashed in apple pie
"I don't hit people that hard." Naruto nonchalantly replied since he didn't think he hit people that hard
"Naruto you hit oak trees hard enough to make them explode into sawdust with just one punch. I think that qualifies for you hitting pretty fucking hard, so I will say this again don't go fucking overboard if you punch in the face." Tenten spoke since she knew exactly how hard Naruto could punch
And granted she knew that Naruto was nice guy and all but the fact that he could probably deadlift her entire house and more than likely pick and bench press it with admittedly great effort made her a bit weary of him roughhousing with people or people in general being in swinging distance of him.
"Huh you raise compelling point." Naruto spoke since sometimes he forgot that he could practically one shot most of the genin in his class with one punch
"Of course I do anyways despite this being my first real mission. It sucks that it has to be with someone who is a complete magnitude of self absorbed bullshit." Tenten spoke since she rathered hated the fact that she'd be on that type of mission since she imagined it being something more than glorified babysitting
"You want a hug and then go get dumplings with me giving you a piggyback ride there to make you better." Naruto offered since he felt that it would help out alot
"That would make things better." Tenten spoke as she hugged Naruto who returned it as he dwarfed his friend
"Now then off to get you dumplings." Naruto spoke as he put Tenten on his back
"Hooray for dumplings; now let's go get my favorite!" Tenten cheered as Naruto carried her to get her favorite food
"I swear we're too much alike sometimes; that it's almost funny when you think about it Tenten." Naruto swore as he carried her to go get dumplings before her mission within the coming week considering that maybe there was something to all of what people were saying about them looking like an old married couple
"I know but who cares when its dumplings that are at stake." Tenten spoke pointing forwards to get dumplings
"Still feels weird that people think we should be together, but who am I to judge as what matters is that Tenten comes back from her mission safe and gets her dumplings as well." Naruto thought as he continued onwards in getting the bun haired genin her favorite meal of all time
(Week and a half later, Hot Water country, February 13th 996 S.E, 8:10 Pm)
It was the day before Valentine's day and Tenten was vastly irritated and why you might ask it was because instead of spending it with Naruto she was stuck with this pompous playboy of a Daimyo's son named Genji that kept hitting on her. And what made it worse was the fact that there hadn't been any action as not even bandits or anything of the sort to make it entertaining as it was frustrating to her and if he didn't stop then Tenten was considering making it look like the daimyo's son committed suicide via neck slitting since it was coming to that point with her
"You know what the only thing redeemable at this point about you is the fact you are persistent." Tenten spoke sarcastically in irritation with the son of the Daimyo
"Oh come on now Tenten don't be like that, since once you get to know me I'm not all that bad." Genji spoke in the usual sleazy tone of voice that grated so heavily on Tenten's nerves
"And yet you are 8 years older than me, so excuse me for not wanting to be with a giant pervert who's apparently a pedo." Tenten responded finding the perverse son of the Daimyo to have been a complete nuisance
"Oh come on you know what they say age is nothing but a number." Genji spoke before eyeing Tenten's ample backside
"Besides I could show you what a man is like after all." Genji added his emerald eyes burning with their constant lust
"I really should've taken Naruto on his offer to smash his nuts in with his warhammer." Tenten thought really wishing she'd have taken Naruto's offer
Meanwhile in the Hidden Leaf Village Naruto had suddenly sneezed bringing the attention of Ragnar who he'd been training with at the moment.
"What seems to be the matter young one?" Ragnar questioned as Naruto had an angered look upon his face
"I don't know Ragnar but I feel as though something is going on with Tenten." Naruto spoke feeling as though something were amiss
"Oh that woman you're in love with." Ragnar remarked causing Naruto to blush with embarrassment
"We aren't lovers, as all we are is just friends and that's it." Naruto retorted his cheeks having a rosy tint to them
"Your face betrays you young one." Ragnar chuckled at the young Norsemen's blushing face
"Whatever and besides that I still feel like I should be smashing my warhammer into someone's nuts right about now." Naruto responded considering that for some reason or another he felt as though he should be giving someone the meaning of having an "empty bag"
"I'm sure it's nothing but anyways back to training and I'm sure that woman is fine since you two are so close to each other." Ragnar spoke as the thunder boomed overhead
"Guess he's right I suppose, but still it really does feel like I should've given that perverse brat a good smack in the nuts." Naruto thought hating this part of the training since apparently it meant testing out what his boon from Thor could do as we return to what's going on with Tenten
"You know what Genji you are really pushing your luck as I swear, so cut it out already." Tenten told him for her patience was wearing thin
"Oh come on don't be that way as the son of the Daimyo after all and being with me can open up a lot of doors for you like I've done for a lot in the past." Genji spoke in a lecherous manner that further disgusted Tenten
"By that you mean have your way with me and force me to sire one of your many bastard children that you've got across the country. As that's right because I know all about your many bastard offspring that you have and for what because you can't keep in your pants and want to be an irresponsible man manwhore." Tenten responded making Genji's lecherous grin turn into an angered sneer
"So spare me the the cheap romantic talk and the trying to buy me off because of your status as the son of the Daimyo because I have morals and standards. And one of them is to not be with someone who sticks his dick in whatever he wants because daddy rules the land. So do me a favor quit trying to get in my pants and shut your mouth because as I've told you so many times during this mission I don't want anything to do with you. Or do you think with the head in your pants so much that its made you go full retard and be complete whore of a man?" Tenten briefly ranted as she had long grown tired of the Genji's attempts to bed her
"How dare you talk back to me that way. For I am the future leader of Fire Country and if I say you are to sleep with me then you will do so!" Genji exclaimed refusing to be denied
"Oh really and what's a pompous playboy who's been whoring himself around the Elemental Nations going to do about it? Because last I checked this mission to bring you home wasn't because mommy and daddy want you to be a leader that'll bring Fire Country to ruin with your lecherous ways." Tenten responded as an angry growl escaped his lips
"I'll show you what happens when a bitch decides to refuse me of all people." Genji snarled out as he went to punch Tenten into submission as he would have her yet
However, this was soon halted when a firm grip clamped down on his wrist and it was shown to be Neji with his Byakugan active glaring harshly at the Daimyo's son with a palm strike at the base of his neck should he try anything.
"Unhand me right now, as this doesn't concern you!" Genji ordered struggling against Neji's hold on his wrist and forearm
"When you try to assault and have your way with my teammate against her will then it does concern me." Neji responded evenly as his grip on Genji remained consistently tight on his arm
"My father will hear of this." Genji sneered as Neji's arm tightened enough to force him to his knees
"But your father will also hear of of you trying to force yourself on my teammate and attempting to brutalize her into having your way with her." Neji stated as his Byakugan blazed furiously
"Since its noblemen like you that disgust me. Thinking that because your parents are so high in the socio-political food chain that you can do whatever you want. However, my team so far has put up with your lechery and spoiled behavior this long and if it weren't for the fact that you were the son of the Daimyo I'd strike you down myself." Neji added finding noblemen like the perverse man before him to be nothing but blights on the world
"Now then either you get out of my sight or so help me I will fry the thing you cherish the most and make sure you never get it up again." Neji spoke as Genji ran back to his tent to nurse his wounded ego
"So then Tenten are you alright?" Neji asked the bun haired girl
"I'm fine although a few more moments and I would've sliced his dong off with his nodachi." Tenten responded since she was extremely close to having castrated him
"Honestly you've got more patience than me since if the roles were reversed I would've probably knocked the client out unconscious by now." Neji responded causing Tenten to chuckle a little bit
"What's so funny Tenten?" Neji questioned wondering what she found so funny
"It's the fact that you Neji Hyuga have a temper, as it's bit funny considering that all of you Hyuga for the most part act like stoic statues most of the time. So to see you have a bit of a temper in you is quite a little bit funny." Tenten spoke continuing to chuckle
"I suppose it's a bit funny all thing considered. Then again when you have to put up with the fact that Hinata is supposed to be the future leader for my clan then you tend to gain one." Neji spoke considering his disdain for his cousin
"I have to agree with you about that since all things considered Hinata shouldn't be a shinobi, as she doesn't have the nerve or the will for it. Which is why if she does do it I'm surprised she'll make even a year as one since she's so timid and shy that she's pretty much guaranteed to die out in the field if she goes on a serious mission." Tenten remarked
"Well at least you've shown well enough that you'll be a better ninja than what she ever could be." Tenten spoke considering that she considered Neji to be a good comrade and fine shinobi
"Thank you Tenten I appreciate the thought." Neji thanked his teammate for the compliment
"It's no problem Neji besides you show a lot more promise than your garden variety Hyuga considering that you try to go above and beyond what they do." Tenten spoke noting of Neji's skill with the Juken was very much incredible to say the least
Considering that Neji had done what few in the Hyuga clan attempt to do and combine it with other martial art styles due to the Hyuga clan being known for being purist in their taijutsu and not wanting to "sully it with inferior styles" yet Neji wasn't like them at all considering he's throughout the years combined it with the Southern Dragon and North Shaolin styles of Kung Fu. Resulting in a much more faster paced and vastly more aggressive form of the Gentle Fist that he managed to combine with his newly found affinity for fire release chakra to make him be able to be able to fight on par with Rock Lee and even have the spandex wearing teen nearly use the 1st gate from how dangerous it was.
"Thank you Tenten since its nice to know that you and Lee despite his eccentricity believe in my trying to further the Gentle Fist into something that I know it could become." Neji spoke since he refused to just stick with the standard of his clan's martial art when he knew he could make it into something much more
"You're welcome besides who knows maybe one day you'll be leading the Hyuga clan and showing them that you may have started from the bottom, but you rose to the top through your own hard work." Tenten spoke having faith in Neji's unarmed combat abilities
"So you really think I can rise to being clan leader some day?" Neji questioned as Tenten nodded
"Of course I do Neji since next to Lee your one of the best martial artists in our generation so I've got no doubt that since your in a clan that's all about Taijutsu that you'll reign supreme over them all." Tenten spoke with those encouraging words bringing a smile to the teenage Hyuga's face
"Thank you Tenten and as cliche as it sounds for me to say. Thanks for believing in me it counts for alot since I do plan on one day leading the clan to greatness as one of the best martial artists across the land." Neji spoke since his dream was to one day have the clan stand as one of the best in unarmed combat and knew that if he were its clan head he could lead them towards that future
"No problem after all it makes sense for us to all support each other in everything we do like how we support Lee in wanting to prove that one can become a excellent shinobi by just Taijutsu alone." Tenten stated as an example of how their team was to have each others' backs
"Or how we support you in wanting to be the strongest kunoichi and surpass Tsunade which I admit is quite the admirable goal you've got. And like my dream you've got my support every step of the way since the young women of the next generation need a role model to show them the way of future greatness." Neji replied knowing of Tenten's goal to one day surpass the slug sannin in power and strength
"Exactly as I've no doubt that one day I'll make that dream and all of our dreams a reality because as soon enough we'll all go down in history as some of the greatest in our village." Tenten spoke looking up at the starry night
"Agreed as everyday I see that becoming more and more real as time passes us, since truly we are becoming legends in the making." Neji remarked in agreement seeing his team become just that with each passing day
"Yep as its just like Naruto's always going on about that soon enough all our names will be synonymous with the word legendary." Tenten spoke finding that the red haired blonde was right as man was his way of thinking and optimism downright infectious
"I have to agree with you about him and that is I may not encounter him on a daily basis, but one thing is for certain is that his drive like Lee's is nothing short of inspiring. Since it's people like him that make you push yourself several times harder than normal to make you reach the greatness you know your capable of." Neji spoke thinking of Naruto from the few encounters to be extremely charismatic to where he was almost like a more subdued Rock Lee
"Anyways I just came to prevent that creep from trying to have his way with you. Since as of now I'll be going to bed since we've got a lot of ground to cover in the morning." Neji told Tenten as he got up from his spot beside her
"Yeah I'll turn in; in about a few minutes or so." Tenten responded as Neji went to his tent
"Goodnight Tenten and just think about at the rate we're going we've got about 4 more days of putting up with him and we're done." Neji told the bun haired teen since he knew that their team especially Tenten was getting fed up with Genji's antics
"Good because I swear if I have to put up with anymore of this I swear I'll sever his cock off and have you burn it because he's really grating on my last nerve." Tenten swore since she was getting extremely irritated with the son of the Fire Daimyo
"Until then just try to hold out a while longer; since we're supposed to be delivering him in one piece not pieces ." Neji told Tenten who let out a sigh at that
"I only promise to try and not maim him irreversibly even though he does have it coming and it would be hilarious to make him smooth down there. As I bet he wouldn't be trying to hit on me then if I gave him a mangine" Tenten promised to Neji who let out a small laugh at the thought of her turning such a giant pervert into a eunuch the thought of which was very cathartically humorous
"I swear Naruto is rubbing off on you since you two have nearly the same amount of violence impulses in you You sure you two aren't dating since I swear you two are just absolutely just the right amount of perfect for each other." Neji spoke as Tenten rolled her eyes
"Whatever Neji goodnight and let's hope to get this finished as soon as possible." Tenten spoke as she put out the fire and went to retire for the night
"I don't get it why does everyone insist on Naruto and I going out together as were just really good friends as why does nobody seem to get that. Even if he's a great fighter, extremely nice and confident, and is extraordinarily ripped….what in the hell is wrong with me." Tenten spoke before her mind drifted off and had begun noting of some of his best qualities and attributes
"Maybe this mission is just driving me crazy is all from having to put up with Genji all the time, as first thing I'm doing once I get back is getting me some dumplings. Because man do I miss eating them and Naruto even if he's an incredibly lovable dork." Tenten thought since once she returned from bringing back the perverse cunt that was Genji she was gonna go stuff her face full of dumplings and hang out with Naruto once again
(3 days later, Fire Country, February 16th 996 S.E, 6:30 Pm)
It was dusk as Team Guy was now at a bandit camp considering one thing that one might ask as to why they were at this location it was because Genji had alerted said large group of bandits that was being led by a B-ranking missing ninja with his continued antics of trying to get in Tenten's panties despite even Might Guy warning him about the repercussions of doing so. Since at this moment they were preparing to go in with their plan of attack considering this would be their first time fighting against a rogue ninja not to mention the fact that said rogue ninja had a small army of bandits at their disposal, but hey no pressure after all.
"Are you sure we're up for the task Guy-sensei since their are over a hundred bandits strong each of them having solid Chunin level reserves?" Neji spoke with his Byakugan active having seen that the bandits numbers were well into the low near mid 100's
"Yes my youthful students as this will be a perfect test to see just how much stronger you've become under my tutelage." Might Guy told his genin with utmost belief in their skills
"Not to sound rude or anything, but do you really think we can do this considering that we're just genin?" Neji asked once again since they were genin and not really meant for this exactly
"Neji is right Guy-sensei considering that we're just 3 genin who haven't even been out for even a year against a large amount of bandits, an almost A-ranked missing ninja. All for what to rescue a manslut for a Daimyo's son of all things." Tenten spoke in agreement as despite her wanting some action in the mission for once knew that was it really worth it to save Genji
"Listen my youthful students we must do this not only to complete it with the importance that it entailed. But also because I've been training the three of you because I know that together through hard work that I've seen you all put in the months that you can accomplish anything." Might Guy spoke passionately with complete faith in them
"Besides I wouldn't let anything happen to any of my youthful genin, for should anything happen that causes this to get out of hand I'll step in immediately to handle it. So what do you say are you ready to embrace the flames of youth and complete this mission." Might Guy told his genin team since he knew with utmost confidence in them, but just in case anything happened he would jump in immediately and handle things from there
"Alright let's do this, but only to get this annoying bastard to where he belongs." Tenten spoke since she was just so ready to get this done and over with
"I'm with Tenten on this, because despite this being our best mission yet I want nothing more than to get this mission over with and besides we could all use the action. Wouldn't you agree with that Lee?" Neji spoke as he asked his bushy browed teammate
"Yosh! Let's complete this mission this and engage in a most youthful combat." Lee spoke in excitement
"Well then now that's settled it's time for us to get in positions; Tenten you know what to do in this case right?" Neji asked as Tenten summoned up her bow and arrows
"I never leave home without explosive arrows, since you never know when you'll need them." Tenten replied as she knew what was going to be planned
"Excellent that just leaves you and me Lee as let's make this happen and rescue a Daimyo's son." Neji spoke as Lee cheered in the background
With that in mind Tenten scaled up a tree and soon took aim and saw that Neji was right considering that there were in total between 130 to a 140 bandits however, luckily enough they wouldn't account for the fact that she was a damned good archer as she took aim. With that in mind she soon fired the arrow and the result was a good chunk of the area being wracked with an explosion doing what Tenten need and sending everything into disarray as she fired two more exploding arrows and the result was like the 1st one everything within 10 yards was caught in a fierce explosion.
And with the bandits scrambling between trying to get their weapons and aiding the wounded who were either blown to bits or missing body parts Neji and Rock Lee went into the chaos to destroy their adversaries. For the bandits within said camp were now caught unawares as their numbers were now dwindling at a rapid rate considering both of them were some of their generation's best unarmed combatants to date.
"Fire Release: Fire Breath." Neji called out incinerating 4 of the bandits
"Give up now and you will be allowed to leave, your call." Neji told the 3 that surrounded him with swords and spears
"The hell we will besides a Hyuga like you will sell nicely in Kumo." The spear wielding bandit responded as Neji's Byakugan activated
"Poor choice of words." Neji responded
With that Neji went out at the spear using bandit grabbing his spear and snapping in half before going in with a harsh palm strike to his chest that sent chakra into his heart to momentarily stop it before a claw strike to the back of the neck hard enough to break it as he slumped over. Neji had to duck down to avoid a sword swing from both bandits before a quick punch to the throat to cause them to choke and gasp for air before lancing out with hard punch to his side that broke a rib hard enough for it to puncture a lung and then using the shock to his advantage dashed around quickly snapped the remaining bandits neck.
"Lee look out!" Neji called out as he used an Air Palm to stop a knife wielding bandit stabbing him in the back and blasted said bandit into a tree
"Thank you Neji for your most youthful assistance." Rock Lee thanked as he did a quick combination of jabs to a bandits skull that cracked it apart within moments knocking him to the ground
"It's no problem besides aren't that what teammates are for after all." Neji spoke as they saw more and more bandits fall from getting shot in the heart, brain, throat or jugular from Tenten
"Well at least we've got Tenten for extra support who has been doing a splendid job of defeating these unyouthful bandits." Rock Lee added with him and Neji having to rush out of harm's way as an arrow landed on the ground and soon lit up with a kanji and exploded into multiple shards of metal shrapnel that shredded their adversaries to ribbons
"Neji you don't think that Tenten is getting a little bit into this do you?" Rock Lee questioned seeing as how Tenten was shooting arrow after arrow at the bandits who were either blown apart, impaled, or poisoned by the arrows
"Well too be fair Lee if you had to put up being around Genji as much as you did; wouldn't you more or less act the same?" Neji questioned as they saw Tenten continued rain her automatic fire of arrows down on her targets
"Fair enough as its hard to believe someone as perverted and unyouthful as him is the son of our leader." Rock Lee stated as a large grouping of the bandits surrounded them
"Well let's continue onwards with defeating these bandits." Neji spoke getting into a modified Gentle Fist stance as he and his spandex wearing compatriot were facing off against the enemy
"Agreed as now is the time to show them the power of the Flames of Youth." Rock Lee spoke getting into his Goken stance
With that the rest of the bandits were soon dismantled by Rock Lee and Neji who through their combined unarmed might destroyed them with Neji unleashing aggressive palm and claw strikes as well as punches and kicks that made him seem like a living dragon while Rock Lee struck with such speed and strength that he seemed to be a emerald blur. As soon enough they were dropping like flies one by one and it didn't help that Tenten added by making sure there were no survivors with her picking them apart to where if her two melee using teammates didn't kill them her varied arrows would send them to an imminent demise as the area around them was soon littered with the corpses of their enemies.
"Well guys that takes care of every single one of them." Tenten stated dropping down from her perch to join her two blood covered teammates
"Quick question Tenten how many of those arrows do you got left?" Neji asked as his Byakugan was still active
"About 7 why do you ask." Tenten answered wondering why the Hyuga would want to know the amount of remaining arrows she had left
"Because our rogue ninja and the one who has Genji hostage is hiding about a full 10 yards away and running with him do you think you can clear the shot?" Neji asked as Tenten nodded
"You kidding me I can hit a target from about 42 meters easy all I need you to do is point me in his general direction he's running in and I'll be able to hit him good enough." Tenten stated since as long as it was within that range of 42 meters she could strike it down no problem
"Alright he's now 11 yards northwest and counting, you can fire when ready." Neji told Tenten who nodded and concentrated
For there was a moment's silence as Tenten focused before firing the necrotoxin laced arrow letting it sail as it shot forth with great speed as it whizzed through the open forest line before hitting its target on mark as Neji confirmed the shot having hit him dead on and causing him to drop Genji. With that the genin trio followed after their downed target who was in great pain as he felt the arrow pierce its way through his torso with the two arriving too see a tied up Genji who had a ball gag in his mouth.
Meanwhile they saw who their opponent was that of a rogue Kusa ninja evident with the headband around his right bicep having a slash through it as he swore a Chunin's vest a long sleeved forest green shirt that was stained by the blood from his upper midsection as his flesh already had begun to necrotise with form fitting black pants and matching close toed sandals. As he stood at average height, with fair skin and dark blue eyes with a tanto at his strapped to his side and dark brick red hair cut short since this Takeo Shirosaki known for his betrayal of his hidden village from stealing of his village funds for himself and having made out with a 12th of it all 10 months ago and since then had been on the run since.
"Don't bother moving since doing so is just gonna make it worse, so hand over the bastard over and we'll act like this never happened. However, if you try to oppose us then just know that this will not end as well as you think; with that being said what will you choose life or painful death the choice is yours?" Tenten questioned wondering what Takeo's choice would be in the matter as he could do this either the easy way or the hard and painful way
"You kidding me once I hand over the Daimyo's son to the highest bidder a lot of people are gonna pay a very hefty wage to buy him. Which is why you can have him from my cold dead hands." Takeo responded greedily
"Well we tried and nobody could say that we didn't." Tenten stated as Neji and Rock Lee got in their fighting stances
"Let us engage him in youthful combat!" Rock Lee exclaimed rushing after the poisoned rogue ninja
"I agree let's get him." Neji added in agreement as the two rush after Takeo in unarmed combat
The result was Takeo being swarmed by both Neji and Rock Lee and considering the fact that the more the rogue ninja moved during combat the more the necrotoxin spread throughout his body so suffice to say this wasn't a good day for him. Considering that Rock Lee's punches and kicks struck like hammer blows that when they got past his guard nearly broke bone and Neji's modified Gentle Fist was like a dragon ferocious and unrelenting as the fire chakra he channeled into his strikes burned at the man's chakra coils quite fiercely.
"What the hell are these two on, as these are supposed to be genin but it feels like I'm fighting special jounin, as I got told by that pervert that I'd be fighting genin. I'm so gonna make sure he gets sold as a sex slave to some gay fat fuck." Takeo thought as he had to dodge the attacks of two genin before him however, his divided attention cost him having a serrated arrow slash him across the neck and had he not sidestepped at the last moment would've caught him in the carotid artery
"Don't forget about me numbnuts." Tenten told him as she readied another arrow
"Why you little bitch you'll pay for that." Takeo gritted out holding his bleeding neck
"Like my teammate said keep your attention on us." Neji spoke as he used a Air Palm to send him tumbling into his spandex clad teammate
"Feel the power of youth; Leaf Hurricane!" Lee exclaimed as he launched the attack combo that would send him into the air
As Takeo was sent a full 15 feet into the air before a violent heel kick from Rock Lee sent him plummeting towards the ground with a mild concussion and 2 maybe 3 cracked ribs with a single one broken as he managed to land on a sturdy tree branch. However, that didn't stop him from being on the receiving end of two of Tenten's arrows that pierced his back each laced with a neurotoxin with one going in his thigh and another in his left shoulder.
His body soon felt sluggish and slow due to the two toxins in his body wreaking havoc in tandem but, tried to push through which was easier said than done considering that Rock Lee had thrown Neji at him and sent him crashing into him with an 8 trigrams 32 palms which stung like hell as his tenketsu were closed off. Before the spandex clad ninja crashed into him with a violent haymaker that broke his nose evident by the blood that was now leaking from it like a leaky faucet as he soon flashed through handsigns to try and blast the them into submission however, before that could be done Tenten quickly fired out a arrow that pierced into his forearm.
"Now then let's see how you handle this; Lightning Release: Depth Charge!" Takeo cried out as despite his arm being impaled by the arrow he managed to semi sluggishly raise his hand to fire out a powerful bolt of lightning out at Tenten
"Rotation!" Neji exclaimed as a dome of blue chakra defended her against the deadly bolt of lightning
"Thank you for the save Neji." Tenten thanked
"It's no problem besides I think those poisoned arrows you shot him with are starting to get to him considering that his chakra is flagging for him to fight against it." Neji noted seeing that Takeo was doing what he could with his chakra to mitigate the potent necro and neurotoxins in his body however, was failing as a result
"Well do you think that you and Lee can keep the pressure up on him since at the rate he's going he won't last long before they reach his vital organs?" Tenten asked of her fellow teammates as she saw him sweating like a pig as his body was starting to fail him
"Don't worry Tenten that's something we can easily take care of." Neji told her since he and Lee could take care of that easily
"Yes Tenten together Neji and I shall defeat this most unyouthful opponent!." Rock Lee told her in his usual passionate tone of voice as they went back into the thick of things
"Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder." Takeo intoned as he went through handsigns once more as he struggled to do so with the neurotoxin in his shoulder spreading to the rest of his shoulder
With that a powerful surge of lightning ripped through the ground as Rock Lee through Neji out of harm's way and he leaping out of the way before Neji then proceeded to engage him in a fierce bout of taijutsu that Takeo was losing out on considering that the toxins in his body were making him more and more sluggish as the nerves within his body felt like they were on fire. And the fact that Neji was progressively closing off more of his tenketsu made it all the more difficult as he found himself near floundering to keep up with the unrelenting aggression of Neji's modified variant of the Gentle Fist style.
"I don't get it you don't fight like any Hyuga I've seen." Takeo spoke as he found himself subject to his punches quickly maneuvered over with Neji subverting them with claw strikes that rent tears into his clothing
"Simple because unlike my contemporaries I want to go above and beyond their precious Gentle Fist." Neji answered as he went in for a snap kick to the man's cracked ribs breaking one of them and causing one to nearly puncture a lung
"Regardless you'd make a fine sale to Kumo considering they'd be able to use you for breeding a new variant of more lethal Hyuga." Takeo spoke greedily as that proved to be his undoing as Neji caught the wrist he used for a jab to his stomach and then followed it up with a harsh palm strike to his elbow that broke his right arm
"Poor choice of words to say to someone like me especially when you're within my range of divination." Neji spoke with a hidden smirk
"Now then 8 trigrams: 64 Palms." Neji spoke as he unleashed his flurry of palm strikes that closed off the man's tenketsu and caused blood to spill out from his mouth as his body burned fiercely considering that Neji had unconsciously channeled fire chakra into each strike
"Lee he's all yours." Neji told Rock Lee who nodded at having already opened up the 1st gate
With that he blasted him towards his spandex wearing teammate with the trademark Air Palm who proceeded to launch a swift kick that sent him further into the air as, he soon appeared behind him as he quickly wrapped him up in bandages that constricted around his body tightly. Soon enough Takeo was subject to the lethal force that was the Primary Lotus as he could do nothing except struggle as he was soon pile driven into the ground with enough force to crater it as a large dust cloud made in the process.
For Takeo now had a moderate concussion, 3 broken ribs, a fractured sternum and dislocated hip and if that wasn't bad enough he found himself barely able to stand due to the toxins within his body taking their tole on him and nearly forcing him to a single knee with his vision blurred and his left arm immobile as a result. However, this wasn't the end as within a few sword swings Takeo found himself down on both knees with both Achilles tendons sliced out from under him and when he tried to make a handsign for one last jutsu his right arm at the lower forearm had been severed leaving only a bloodied stump in the process as Tenten stood over him with a bloodied nodachi in hand.
"Well I have to say guys that for fighting against our first rogue ninja this proved to be a complete success." Tenten spoke as thinking that they did quite a good job against their adversary
"It seems as though Guy-Sensei's youthful words of encouragement held true after all. For our already bright flames of youth are so strong that it allowed for us to overcome the army of bandits and this unyouthful ninja as well. For truly we are becoming a group of splendid ninja." Rock Lee spoke as Neji let out a small smile
"Although I wouldn't use the same word choice as Lee he's right as Guy-sensei was right to have faith in us to complete this mission. Since we're getting there in due time as one of the best from our generation since and I'll say it just this once for you Lee that our flames of youth can't ever be stopped at how we're going." Neji spoke causing Lee's spirits to brighten at hearing his teammate say those words
"But what do we do about him since he's no good to us now due to his injuries?" Neji asked wondering what to do now with Takeo who at the rate he was going was a dead man
"There's one thing left to do." Tenten stated as she swung her sword and beheaded him where he would stood as his body fell over limply
"There now we can put him to good use and split the reward on his head evenly. So with that being out of the way let's go get Genji and complete this mission already." Tenten spoke as the two nodded as this mission despite the recent action had been long overdue to be completed
(4 days later, Konoha, February 20th 996 S.E, 1:45 pm)
It had been days later for Tenten since she got back from her first B rank with her team having gotten back 2 days later considering that the Daimyo for all the hassle they went through for returning his wayward son back to him to receive punishment for his actions had been allowed to rest in the palace before heading out back to the village. And once they were paid for both the mission and the sizable bounty on Takeo's head Tenten had proceeded to rest up and stuff her face with dumplings which she'd been craving ever since her return before getting bear hugged by Naruto who had been worried about her since going on the mission, so suffice to say her return was quite a very good one to say the least.
"Well I'm just glad that you're back safe." Naruto told Tenten having worried about her since going off with that perverse cunt
"Me too as you have no idea how much of a pain in the ass he was to deal with which is luckily enough that he got his punishment." Tenten spoke with a malicious smirk
"Oh yeah you mentioned that he got his punishment when you guys delivered him back to his father since you never mentioned what it was?" Naruto asked wondering what said punishment was
"Actually that's what made the end to all of this all the better." Tenten told him as she remembered it
(3 and a half days earlier, February 17th 996 S.E, Fire Country, 9:45 Am)
"What do you mean I'm to be made one of those monks you can't do this to me!" Genji roared in disbelief of what was said to him by his father as all of Team Guy were present
"This isn't up for discussion as time and time again you've disappointed me with your antics. Because I thought that as my son that I would allow you to go out into the world and experience it for all it was worth. That when you'd seen the real harshness of the world beyond these walls that you would be able to become an effective ruler that would be able to make the right decisions and do what is right for the kingdom." The Fire Daimyo told his eldest son as he stood from his full 6 foot 2 height and stepped forwards towards his son in his majestic crimson and black robes
"But instead I get numerous complaints and threats from Lightning and Earth Country as well as my own about how you've done nothing but, be a complete failure to me and the legacy of the rulers of Fire Country. With you not trying to make a name for yourself and try as what has been tradition for centuries to further better our lands, you go and sire bastard after bastard child. Sleep with every whore and slut in the brothels and even going so far as to rape and violate innocent women. As your exploits nearly had us at war with Lightning country for trying to force yourself on the sister of the two tails jinchuuriki. And all for what because you can't keep your cock your pants as I had half a mind to let them execute you on the spot." The Fire Daimyo spat nearly hoarse with rage at the fact that his eldest son's lechery nearly had them going into war once again something they were not prepared to do at this moment
"But I am to be the future daimyo and I can do whatever I please to who I want to it is my birthright to do what I want!" Genji yelled out in narcissistic defiance which earned him a punch to the face from his father that knocked out a tooth
"Not anymore you aren't as I admit that your mother and I had spoiled you a bit. However, I didn't think that it would cause all of what has transpired to have happened. Which is why you are forever disinherited and all rights to the throne are forfeit from here on out Genji." The Fire Daimyo told his son who had been restrained by guards
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME I'M SUPPOSE TO BE RULER YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY MY BIRTHRIGHT I REFUSE TO LET THIS HAPPEN!" Genji shouted at the top of his lungs refusing to believe this would be happening to him
"It is and will and to further ensure that you will learn common decency and have these perverse and lecherous ideals and thoughts in you removed. You are to be made a eunuch immediately and from the report of the mission and you trying to have repeatedly forced yourself on a young woman nearly half your age. I think it is best that she do the honors." The Fire Daimyo spoke as Tenten came in with Nodachi drawn
"You really thought that all of your attempts to trying to have your way with me would go unpunished? Especially after multiple times I caught you jerking it with my panties and feeling me up at night or better yet when tried to have your way with me in my own tent. Oh no this is a long time coming just know that I'm doing what every other woman you've been with and violated should've done a long time ago, but never had the chance to." Tenten spoke as she had raised up her nodachi
Ignoring the cries of Genji that were a mix of offers of power and wealth to death threats as the guards spread open his legs she then proceeded to lop off his dick as the limp sexual organ fell to the ground as he was left crying in pain from now being rendered a newly made eunuch, as the guards carried him away.
"I am so sorry about you having to put up with the perverse antics of my eldest son. Since he was meant to complete his trials over these past few years upon his 18th birthday to prove he could rule the Fire Country. Since to be a leader you have to see the world at both its best and strive to improve it for the betterment of the people within however, it seems that he failed that totally and lost himself to his lustful desires." The Fire Daimyo apologized for Tenten having to put up with his perverse failure of a son
"Thank you for the apology Lord Daimyo I appreciate it." Tenten thanked the leader of her country
"I also hope that this doesn't ruin things since I very much would like to have your father build weapons and armor for my armies. For I'd like to make amends for you having to put up with him which is why you're team will not be receiving a sizable mission bonus for your efforts. But also I will be making a hefty contribution towards your father's blacksmith shop, as think of it as paying it forward for your help." The Fire Daimyo spoke causing Tenten's eyes to light up with happiness
"T-Thank you for doing this." Tenten thanked considering she'd have great news to tell her father
"You're welcome and until you and your teammates and sensei are up at full strength again feel free to stay in the guest rooms since you all have deserved it." The Fire Daimyo spoke as Tenten left with a bow feeling pretty good about herself right now
(Snap back to Reality)
"Wow Tenten it sounds like from all of this you made out this better than what you came out with." Naruto spoke considering that Tenten came out very much on top from this mission
"I know right, as now things can't possibly be going better for me considering that I got a huge bonus to my mission earnings and my dad's shop is gonna be funded by the Daimyo himself. It really feels like it can't get any better than this." Tenten spoke since she was feeling very much elated right now with all things considered
"Agreed as what with your dad's shop going through the roof at the moment and my imminent graduation it's looking like Christmas came early." Naruto added in agreement considering that as it stood for the both of them things were going to be going very well for them in the new few years
"Because seriously at this point it really feels like there ain't nothing that can stop either of us." Naruto remarked considering that everything was going their way for the most part
"Yep it sure seems like that especially since now I got my box of dumplings to stuff my face with when I get home." Tenten responded considering she had in hand her box of precious dumplings that she's missed since her mission
"I swear you and your dumplings Tenten as one of these days with how much you eat you might as well soon turn into one." Naruto joked with a small chuckle
"Like you're one to talk with how you shovel roast pork and turkey down your throat like its going out of style." Tenten countered as Naruto had the decency to look abashed
"Fair enough point then again when you have a black hole for a stomach its kind of hard to show restraint especially when it's so good." Naruto spoke his mouth beginning to water a little bit before Tenten snapped him out of it
"Well considering how already your already 6 feet tall then I guess all of that is mitigated since compared to everyone else in our class your a damned giant." Tenten remarked considering that even Iruka had to look up at the towering form that was Naruto
"I'm sorry but it's not my fault that puberty decided to crash down on me like an Akimichi does food." Naruto retorted considering that he full well knew he outweighed and was taller than his classmates and teachers by a very good margin
"Besides I don't hear you complaining when I give you piggyback rides everywhere." Naruto added as Tenten tried to come up with a rebuttal but found none
"Fine you win, but to be fair it's so much fun getting piggyback rides from you." Tenten spoke having loved getting piggyback rides from the tall teenager since it made her feel like she could reach up towards the guy and sucker punch Kami
"That's what I thought Tenten, but hey let's not ruin this after all today's a good day after all and besides what can possibly go wrong. Since the sun is shining, you've got your dumplings as this is proving to be a really good day." Naruto told her since there was practically nothing that could ruin this for them
"I guess your right...as damn your optimism as why is it that your constantly so damn happy it's almost infuriating." Tenten pouted almost childishly as to how Naruto could remain so optimistically happy at all times
"Because I'm forever infinitely awesome." Naruto answered as Tenten's face took on a deadpanned expression
"You truly are one of a kind Naruto, since you really are a treasure." Tenten stated in a deadpan as Naruto had a wide grin on his face
"Anyways let's go on and enjoy our day…." Naruto spoke before he looked over at a nearby tree
"Naruto what are you doing and why do you have your axe out?" Tenten asked wondering why he had his great axe out
"Because someone has been spying on us and I know damn well who it is." Naruto spoke as he began chopping down the tree
For it only took him a few swing of his great axe to have the tree topple over and reveal a dazed Jiraiya who had a notepad in hand that Naruto snatched away and brought over to Tenten that the two teens began reading. And the more they read the more they saw that the toad sage had been spying on them and using their time together to write smut for his next book and had the gall to use bastardized versions of their names and appearances in it which caused the two to be infinitely pissed.
"Wait a minute I can explain." Jiraiya spoke as had swapped out his great axe for his warhammer and Tenten releasing her kusarigama
"Oh we know you can and you will when we proceed to take your explanation right out of your ass; especially for ruining our time together." Naruto spoke making a shadow clone to take Tenten's dumplings to her house
"And thanks to you I have to waste my time not eating my dumplings that I've been waiting well over a week for because you decided to have us put into your porn." Tenten sneered as she began swinging her weapon by the chain as killer intent swarmed the toad sannin
"So then any other words to say before we tear you several new assholes?" Naruto questioned hefting his warhammer
"Have mercy." Jiraiya spoke hoping he'd get some as he had to dodge having his testicles imploded from a swing of Naruto's warhammer
"I'm sorry but, we're currently out of mercy at the moment and all we have right now is pain." Naruto spoke as Tenten and himself started to corner him
"Enough talk Naruto let's get him." Tenten said as she wanted him to pay
"Man it's amazing how good of friends we are that we can have fun beating up and maiming a pervert together; life sure is great." Naruto added as the two proceeded to give chase to the toad sannin who had one thing on his mind as he fled for his life and his manhood
"I swear how those two aren't a couple already is beyond me." Jiraiya thought to himself as he had to dodge a kusarigama chain that nearly caught him by the neck
"Yeah it's official those two are a match made in heaven." Jiraiya continued to think to himself as he did everything he could to evade the teenagers that wanted his head on a pike
So then with Tenten having completed her first B ranked mission with her team things are looking pretty well for her at the moment as it looks like at the moment things are looking up for her and if they continue to get better. You'll just have to wait and find out in the next new chapters of Revival of the Mighty Norsemen.
So then hope you guys liked the chapter and sorry for the long wait since my grandmother is currently just now getting out of the hospital from her surgery and has been very weak therefore updates will be taking longer to do since I will need to check in on her and make sure she's doing ok. That being said let's get down to what's gone on in the long awaited chapter now shall we.
First up we've got the scene with Naruto and Tenten that's the setup for what's to come in the chapter which was basically a bit of exposition to show more or less what would go on in the chapter and to further their relationship a bit.
Following that we've got the whole scene with Tenten, Neji and the daimyo's son which to me felt great writing considering that on one hand I got to show the reality of the fact that unlike in most Naruto stories where the son of the Daimyo is portrayed as this kind gentlemen that's upstanding and noble I'm throwing that out the window since not everyone is a prince charming and often than not are just sleazy rapists. This also allowed for me to show the camaraderie between Neji and Tenten since I want to give him more depth as a character and show of his aspirations to become not just a great martial artist but, also to lead the Hyuga clan to his own form of greatness since he does believe it can be so much more.
Next up is Team Guy against the bandits and the rogue ninja they fought which I loved writing out since it allowed me to show them working together as a team and cohesive unit something I hope I did well on writing and giving everyone their ample enough spotlight to shine.
Following that up we've got the whole small fluff scene between Tenten and Naruto as well as the aftermath of what happened with her mission. Since I want to once again develop their friendship as much as possible into making their eventual relationship as a couple believable as possible and to give a conclusive ending to what happened with Tenten's mission.
That being said please continue to show your support by favoriting, following, reviewing and sharing the story as much as possible as I very much appreciate the support you guys have been giving the story as after all you guys are part of the reason why I continue to write. So please also give reviews since they let me know you guys actually like the story, so please feel free to give your thoughts on the story in the reviews below however, for those flamers just don't bother because remember if ya don't like it then don't bother commenting or reading on it since you're wasting everyone's time.
That being said this is Pravus666 signing out until next time as next chapter we finally get to the genin graduation so stay tuned for all that good action.
