The Real Story Of Sakura Haruno
Chapter 21:
The girl sighed; she knew it was going to be a long day. She watched as her two green clad teammates jumping on one hand, attempting to make 20 laps around the village before the sun set. She sat with her legs crossed in front of her leaning back on her hands; her head fell back as she let out an annoyed groan.
She was tired of watching her two teammates make fools of their team. As far back as she can remember her sensei and her eccentric teammate had always done these stupid and unnecessary punishments.
It had gotten to the point where she had to threaten the two to keep their 'self rules' down to at least as private as they could possibly make them. She had a hard time walking around the village after their punishment to go around wearing hot pink jumpsuits for a week if they couldn't master a new taijutsu move in two hours, needless to say they did not master said move.
She figured that there must be some method to their madness, and it seemed to work for them because they were two of the most strongest taijutsu fighters in the village, but of course, their strength did not make up for their horrible fashion sense.
"Tenten-chan, come and join us in our youthful display of discipline" Lee called to her turning on the balls of his hand to look at the girl upside down.
"No thanks Lee, if I walk on my hands for too long, I might injure my wrists, and that's no good for the weapons mistress of Kohana" she called back raising her head to look at the boy, she have to admit, Lee looked better with his hair spiked up rather than falling down in that horrible bowl cut that he and Gai insisted on wearing.
"You're right Tenten-chan! My apologies, I should have considered that before I asked you so rashly. It was very unyouthful of me!" the boy yelled, his fuzzy eyebrows raising high into his hairline, giving her his most apologetic look.
"It's all right Lee, besides, I'm getting a workout just watching the two of you go" she laughed bringing herself to sit up streaching her hands above her head and threading her fingers. She let out a long sigh as the tension in between her shoulder blades dissipated. She leaned back on her hands once again, and gazed up at the blue cloudless sky, she could think of one lazy spiky haired, leaf shinobi that would be very annoyed at this sky's present state of cloudlessness. A small giggle slipped out of her normally restrained lips, as the thought of the spiky haired shinobi glaring angrily up at the vacant sky.
"What seems to be so funny, Tenten, other than our two teammates making absolute fools of themselves as per usual?" she smiled she knew the voice, all of her years as a Genin, Chunin and Jonin, had that voice been present daily; she knew the sound of his voice better than she knew the sound of the wind in the leave's, better than the sound of weapons hitting their target, better than a sound of a knife cutting through the air. She twisted her body around - leaning on her right arm- to look up -a smile dancing on her face- at the long haired white eyed Hyuga prodigy.
"So you finally decided to show up did you" she grinned up at him. And then notice off to the side at the edge of their training ground, stood, his uncle Lord Hyuga "Neji, why is your uncle here?" her gaze flicked over to the other white eyed man before returning to rest on the boy in front of her.
"Lord Hyuga wished to discuss some things with me, and agreed to accompany me to the training grounds, so as to not to delay today's practice any further then it has with my absence" Neji explained in his normal stock Hyuga tone.
"Oh" she said lamely turning around again to watch the two green clad men hopping around the training ground in their comical display of discipline. She felt Neji's toned legs pressed against her back, she leaned against him and let out a small sigh.
"Tenten do you want to, um, go and train with me?" the Hyuga male asked a slight blush clearly evident on his cheeks. Tenten looked up at him noticing the slight hesitation in his voice, Neji Hyuga never said 'um', everyone knew that. She let out another small giggle surprise that the looseness of her lips. She stood, a seductive grin on her face and turned to her boyfriend.
"Neji, if you want to go make out in the woods with me than just say so, you don't have to be so secretive" she said, loudly enough for all three other males in the clearing to hear her, Neji's face flushed red in embarrassment at his girlfriend's brash comment.
The sounds of Gai and Lee erupting into speeches of how youthful Tenten sounded filled the clearing, as Neji quickly turned around to look at his uncle, hoping that the man had not just heard the girl's comment. The man stood at the edge of the clearing, smirking at his young nephew, his arms crossed over his chest and an aura of pure superiority surrounded him.
"Neji may have a word with you" he called from the edge of the clearing keeping his cool smirk on his face. Neji nodded his head, giving Tenten a quick look of disapproval and then quickly moving over to where his uncle was. Tenten just smirked waving at the Hyuga Lord, while she watched Neji's retreating form.
"Yes Lord Hyuga?" Neji asked as he reached his uncle's side, normally his full attention would be given to the man. But he found himself distracted by the dancing twin buns moving at the edge of his vision. Tenten sauntered across the training ground past Gai and Lee as they continued to hop around the clearing, to stop the tree line and turned seemingly waiting for Neji to join her.
"Normally a girl like Tenten would not be allowed to be with you, a prodigy of the Hyuga branch clan, but I think we both know why she's an exception to such rules" the man explained attaining Neji's full attention by the remark.
"I'm not quite sure I understand, Lord Hyuga" Neji replied, looking over at his uncle.
"Tenten is a strong konechi; she is beautiful, brave and strong, as well as the weapons mistress of Kohana, she is a fine young lady, regardless of her family status" the man explained. Looking over at the konechi who stood impatiently waiting at the other end of the clearing, twirling a small kunai in her hands "but I must warn you of one thing Neji"
"And what is that Lord Hyuga?" the boy asked following his uncle gaze to the other side of the clearing. Before the elder man could reply it kunai came flying past the two grazing, both of the males long flowing locks. Their eyes darted towards Tenten, where she stood on the other side of the clearing her arms crossed and her foot impatiently tapping on the grass floor.
"Never under any circumstance, should you keep a konechi or a weapons mistress waiting" the man explained, smirking down at his nephew, a similar smirk slipped onto Neji's face as he glanced over at his girlfriend.
"Yes, Lord Hyuga, I believe, that is very wise advice" he said, turning to the older male, who nodded down at him approvingly "if you'll accuse me Lord Hyuga, but I have a very impatient konechi as well as a weapons mistress waiting for me" Neji said, giving the man a quick bow before retrieving Tenten's kunai from the ground behind them. The young Hyuga prodigy -after retrieving his girlfriend's trinket- moved across the clearing with unrivalled stealth and speed to join the very impatient konechi, who was waiting for him.
"I believe you dropped this Tenten" Neji said as he offered her small the weapon in a gesture that made it look as if he was giving her some kind of expensive gift.
"Thanks Neji" she said smiling, a blush coloring her normally pale cheeks "So why don't we go do that training you'd mentioned before" she said in a singsong voice, a sly smile curving her lips.
"Yes training sounds like a nice distraction right now" he replied with a smirk on his face as he grasped her hand and led her away from the clearing.
"Ah the youthfulness of love" Gai cried from his place beside Lee, still upside down.
"Yes Gai-sensei is quite an encouragement to see our two teammates displaying such energetic displays of youthful affection" Lee agreed, giving his sensei and upside down salute.
