TENTEN

"It's you", Tenten spoke softly`Why would they allow her to be here?, I wonder if she even remembers me?, are they doing this just to get to me more?`so many question in her head she wanted to ask but knew she couldn't.

The young girl looked at her with confusion, not sure if she heard her right. "Sorry what did you say?".

Tenten snapped out of her trance "oh nothing", she spoke quickly while the young just ignored her. "Anyway thank you", she bowed in appreciation.

The girls smiled at the older girl making Tenten heart sink, she couldn't help but feel worse from keeping everyone in the dark, and for the first time in her life she finally felt like everything she was, was just a lie. `Why am I feeling this now after all these year?`, she questioned herself.

"Don't worry about it I apologise, we can't allow our village to be associated with such scum who treats kunoichi any differently than any other ninjas" she bowed.

"Well it's not your fault it's just how it is, I'm just lucky you came along when you did", Tenten forced herself to return a smile.

"My name is Susumu Satō and I'm a ninja of this village", she stretched her hand out to the leaf the ninjas.

Tenten stared at her hand for a moment before taking it "I'm Tenten weapons mistress of Konohagakure", Tenten had only started introducing herself like that Guy told her she should be proud of being the only weapons specialist in her village and people should know about her. But she still felt weird every time she said it.

The girl just smirked "I should have guessed with such a large scroll and so many weapon holder", Tenten just laughed she couldn't help but enjoy the conversation. The girl just looked at Tenten there was something about her that was so familiar to her. She stopped when she noticed the rip on Tenten's top exposing her stomach that now had a flame carved into her soft skin. "I see you're the youngest I've seen here".

Tenten gave her a clueless look. "What do you mean?", she wondered

"Well you've been branded with the village's symbol", Tenten finally looked down at her stomach she couldn't believe it. She sat on the ground in a daze "so that normally mean in some point in your life you where parts of the village, but normally those people are in their 30"

`Why would they do this to me? Are they trying to tell me no matter what I do I cant escape them` she sighed ignoring the girl `well it doesn't seem like Susumu remember me, well then I'll just need to get some information`.

"Well", Tenten looked up finally acknowledging the girl who was now standing with her arms crossed "when where you part of this village?," Susumu asked curiously.

"Never I was born and raised in the land of the leaf", the girl just glared at her "so do you think it has something to do with mistaken identity", the other girl just shrugged.

"Well maybe, the hokage will probably sort it out."

"So who is the hokage?", Susumu just shrugged "What dose that mean you don't know?"

"Well the hokage is a very privet person, so there are only a select few who know who it is."

`Even that hasn't change damn it, it looks like I'm not going to get the information I want.`

Susumu sat across form Tenten "actually I'm a little nerves", she looked down "I'm sorry I shouldn't talk to you about this, I better be going", she got up but Tenten pulled on her arm to make her stay.

Truth was Tenten knew she couldn't let her go if she left she would be alone and who knows what would happen and she wasn't that keen to find out "no stay, emm", Tenten scratched the back of her head letting her hand go "I mean its not like I've got anything better to do", giving the young ninja a smile.

Susumu sat back down she couldn't help but feel better that somebody wanted to listen to her unlike everybody around her and she felt comfortable talking to the leaf ninja "it's about tomorrow; it's going to be my first time meeting with the hokage."

"So shouldn't that be an honour?", Tenten questioned her.

"Yeah but after tomorrow I'll be starting a whole different type of training", she sighed "I will be training with the hokage, she going to teach me everything she knows so when I become the hokage I know everything and I just need to add to the wisdom until the day comes where I have to teach everything to somebody else"

"You don't seem too happy about that."

"Why should I be!", she shouted angrily then she soften her voice again. "I mean its not my dream to become hokage, I don't want to be told about everything in this world I want to experience it first hand". She complained.

"Well it seem quite simple to me", Susumu looked at her waiting for the answer "just say you don't want it", the girl laughed at Tenten.

"Ha, when you say it like that you make it sound easy", Tenten just raised an eyebrow in question "it not an option for me to say I don't want it, since my sister left our family once looked upon as the most respectful family in the village now the most shameful", she took a deep breath.

"What has that got to do with your sister?", Tenten couldn't help but want to learn more. "I mean she probably didn't even do anything that bad"

"She couldn't use any fire Jutsu's it might not seem that much to you but that just show weakness in the village eyes, so I have to make my family proud." She stared into space.

"Do you miss your sister", Tenten asked curiously.

"No in fact I hate her", she said so cold that it made Tenten's heart sink. "Because of her we found out what kind of person my mother really was only marrying my father for the respect of the village then leavening when my sister left pretending she never knew us, it left my father heart broken know he walks around the village trying to prove himself".

"I'm sorry", Tenten breathed out but the girl did not hear.

"I wont lie, want to know the funniest part is I don't hate her for what she done to my family that wasn't her fault, I hate her so much because I resent the fact that she left me here and she off doing all the things she wanted to do now I have to take the position that was meant to be hers."

`Wait what did she say?`, Tenten wanted to ask more about it but she knew she couldn't `if I ask anymore about it she might get suspicious of me`, she diced it would be better to change the subject. "So do you remember? her"

"Well just a little," leaf ninja gave her questionable look.

FLASHBACK

A young girl sat outside her house she looked no more than 3 years old, staring up at sky in a daze "Susumu it's time to train", the young girl snapped out of her daze, to see a women staring at her with dark brown eyes not like her own.

"Cant I miss it today", she moaned which didn't go down well with the women.

"You think you can just diced when you want to train, that not how it works", the women screamed at her while doing some hands signs "I'll teach you to disobey me", she changed her chakra into fire sitting on the palm of her hand before throwing it at the young.

Closing her eyes waiting for the pain of being burned by her own mother Jutsu's, but it never came instead the sound of a girl scream in pain made her eyes shoot open to See a girl aged 7 standing in front of her, her arms stretched out her long dark brown hair blowing in the wind as she took the full attack before collapsing.

End of flashback

`She remember that`, Tenten stared at the girl as she steady quite.

"The thing is that the only thing that I remember about her nothing else. It a bit pathetic isn't it?, that I cant even remember the person that helped me and not just that I hate her. Well she probably forgot about me along time ago."

"Don't say that", Tenten shouted at her now standing up looking down on her "You can't just presume that she forgot about you don't know that she might think about you all the time she might feel sorry for what she has done, and it not pathetic to hate someone that reason you have a right to hate she shouldn't ever be forgive for what she done to you." Tenten finally calmed herself down and returned to her sitting position.

They stayed quiet for a while but that did not last long they talk for hours in till they finally fell asleep.

Morning Neji and the other

The boys stayed hidden in the trees as they watched the man from yesterday walk through the forest he stopped in the centre of the forest "okay this is far enough", he spoke to himself "right that's enough, why are you following me?", he said crossing his arms.

The three boys just looked at each other from the top of the trees before jumping down "oh its you guys from the land of the hidden leaf, what do you want?."

"We want to know why where you talking to our comrade and what did you say to her?", Lee was the first to question the man.

"And what's that got to do with a weirdo like you?", Lee didn't care about his insult he was used to it. "And now that you mention where is your kunoichi friend I'm guessing she returned to your village", he said this time more serous.

"Because she our friend and you seem like a person who likes to cause problems", Naruto shouted at the man.

"That's not answering my question", he was now getting frustrated.

Neji just wanted his question answer and he knew the only way that would happen is if he answered his question "No she's still in your village your hokage wanted to see her about her mission", the man's eyes widened before sprinting back to the village.

The boys didn't waste any time going after him, Lee was the first to catch the man jumping from branch to branch, then jumping in front of him before punching him on the cheek forcing him back while the other two boys jumped right next to the boy with bushy eyebrows.

"Move out my way", he growled at the boys.

"Not until you give us the answer I want?, I answered your question now you answer mine" Neji folding his arms.

"Damn it, I don't have time for this crap", the boys gave him a questionable look "if you don't get out my way it might be to late to help her"

"Are you threaten us", Naruto getting ready to throw a punch.

"Of course I'm not but there's no telling what they'll do, how can yours be so stupid leaving her in the village alone." He was now shouting at the top of his lungs.

"She never gave us any reason not to, why?, what's going?", Lee giving him more question, he didn't seem to want to answer.

"She never told you?," he scratched his chin. "Right it not my place to tell you, now follow me if you hope to have a chance to see your friend", the boy just looked at him as he pushed his way through them before following him.

TENTEN

Tenten and Susumu woke to the sound of the door click open. Without any second thought Tenten jumped up and ran to her weapons. "what are you doing?", Susumu said sleepily.

"I just want to make sure I have everything so I am prepared", Tenten quickly strapped her giant scroll on to her back before her kunai holder.

The door finally opened to reveal a large group of ninjas dressed in red with mask covering the face. "its time for you to come meeting the hokage", it was a male voice that spoke as a couple of shin obi entered the cell. "Oh your still in here Susumu, you should come too."

"Of course", the young girl bowed her head in respect to the older ninja. The ninjas that had entered the cell walked up to Tenten boxing her in not really bothering about her weapons. They pushed her forward forcing her to walk forward to the door.

They walked down the large hall before turning to the right and walking down to a room that was shaped like circle with nine door spread around the room. They entered one of the doors to a large hall which was also shaped as a larger circle being the concrete flower looked like it was just new with how clean it was.

Tenten saw one of ninja place their hands on Susumu shoulder to let her now to stop but they kept pushing Tenten forward in to the centre of the room before stepping back inclosing Tenten in a circle with more shin obis by their side.
