Tenten was in town picking up items for her and Lee. A day had already passed and Sasuke had not shown up yet. She was worried that Danzo had killed him or worse. It was still a shock to her that Danzo was turning traitor to his own village as well as being behind the Uchiha massacre. She couldn't imagine what Sasuke was going through. Tenten did know that if she was in Sasuke's position she would probably go solo also. The ninja finished her supply run and decided to head back to the motel. On her way back she saw a bunch of anbu masks being sold. Her eye caught one that looked similar to a black widow. Looking at it reminded her of the battle with Bullseye and how he called her one. Tenten bought the mask knowing her shopping wasn't finished.
Thirty minutes later Tenten returned to the motel where Lee was doing his two hundred and thirty-third push up. He immediately stopped and rushed over to her. "I'm glad your back I was starting to get worried."
"Sorry I found some things to help me with the mission." Tenten replied. "I'll need some time alone." Tenten locked the door as she began pulling out her mask and placed it on her dresser. She then pulled out a black skin tight leather suit followed by two ten tube brass bracelets and a fifty tube belt. Tenten pulled out a small paint brush and put a red hour glass on the buckle. The ninja started making single weapon scrolls placing them in the tubes. Tenten put on her suit and mask before exiting the room. Lee was doing his fifty-seventh squat until he saw his team mate.
"Tenten?" He asked suprised by her new look.
"The name's Black Widow and the new look is just the beginning. I want you to teach me the eight gates starting now."
Lee looked shocked at Tenten's request."Uh Ten I mean Black Widow, the eight gates is extremely difficult to learn."
"Then let's stop wasting time and teach me." The ninja said fiercely.
Rock Lee realized there was no talking her out of it. "Alright I will teach you the first two gates. The others put immense strain on your body that can do permanent damage. You don't want that if we are going after Danzo." Lee said. "The first gate is called the gate of opening. It is located in the brain. To open this gate you need meditate within like you opening a door. After opening the gate you should feel surge of power."
The two spent the rest of the day training to open the first gate. Black Widow's determination allowed her to be able to open the gate by nightfall. After the sunset Lee suggested the two head back to the hotel before trying to open the second gate. "No! We're suppose to go back to Konoha tomorrow. We need to master this tonight." She replied.
"Tenten you are too tired. You need to res..."
"No!" Black Widow said glaring through her mask. "We do this tonight."
"Very well." Lee agreed reluctantly. "The next gate, the gate of healing, is located also in the brain. Like the first gate you need to meditate focusing on the mind. Which can be difficult since you also have to keep the first gate open."
The ninja immediately openend the gate feeling the power as she shifted her focused on opening the second gate. After openning the first gate the ninja had a decent idea of how to open the second. Black Widow pushed hard not letting up until gate opened. "I did it." She whispered before passing out.
Lee rushed forward check on his teammate. After finding a steady pulse Lee relaxed before taking her back to the hotel.
