Thank you everyone for reading my story, I appreciate all of your comments. Here's another chapter, enjoy!

As Mitsuko continues to chase after Sasuke, she starts to think to herself. :Should I have left Tenten-chan alone to fight? Did I make the right decision to split up the team:

"Is Tenten-chan going to be okay by herself?" Hinata asks, sounding apprehensive.

"Don't worry, I have faith in Tenten." Mitsuko answers.

('o')

Kidoumaru smirks at Tenten. "So little pucca, you want to play with me aye?"

"Damale! Do not ever call me that!" Tenten shouts angrily.

Kidoumaru shrugs, "if a game is what you what, a game is what you'll get!" Not taking Tenten too seriously, he walks slowly around her.

Tenten on the other hand, is taking careful attention at Kidoumaru's every single move.

Suddenly, Kidoumaru's mouth swells up. "Kumokakuhan!" A series of small projectile webs shoots out from his mouth.

Tenten dodges these webs with ease, with her agility and jumping skills, this is not a difficult task. To her dismay, Kidoumaru adruptly switches his target from shooting Tenten to her landing spot, causing her to slip upon her landing. A grin comes upon Tenten's face as she hits the ground, pulling her fingers she caused several kunais to shoot at Kidoumaru from behind.

Kidoumaru notices this and immediately jumps out of the way, only having his shirt slightly scraped by the approaching kunai. "A sneaky one aren't you?" Kidoumaru says with a sly look on his face.

"Oh you'll be surprised how sneaky I really am." Tenten says in response with a slight smile on her face. As she finishes her sentence, she does a backflip and jumps into the dense woods.

"Is someone scared?" Kidoumaru says outloud, while glancing around trying to spot Tenten. A gleam of light caught his attention, and he realized that it's a shruiken flying at his direction. It was too late for him to dodge the shruiken, he only manages to move slightly out of the way and the shruiken cuts the side of his face. "Oh you damn bytch!" Before he knew it, another set of weapons flies at him, this time one of his left arms. Kidoumaru starts to jump from tree to tree, trying to avoid the barrage of weapons Tenten is launching at him, but his attempts were useless, there was no way he could've avoided Tenten's hundred-percent accuracy. The truth is, Tenten is jumping constantly from tree to tree throwing weapons at Kidoumaru, such a task is as simple as eating cake is for Chouji since Tenten is used to training with moving targets.

Kidoumaru continues to get hit by Tenten's weapon even as he jumps around. All of a sudden, Kidoumaru disappears from Tenten's sight. "What? Where did he go?" Tenten stops on a tree branch and tries to spot Kidoumaru.

"Looking for me?" Kidoumaru says, appearing behind the unsuspecting Tenten. Before Tenten has time to react, Kidoumaru punches her off the tree, sending Tenten straight towards the ground.

Tenten pushes herself up off the ground. "You couldn't possibly have known where I was at the pace that I was moving, how did you find me?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, did you think I was really that dumb to be jumping around like an idiot for nothing? As I jumped from tree to tree, I left an invisible webbing and I connected it to every tree in the area, and as you land on a tree, I immediately know where you were by the movement you caused in my web. Even your puny weapons have barely left a scratch on me, every single pore on my skin allows me to secret a protective webbing, which means your weak attacks will not have any effects on me." Kidoumaru answers. "You're not as weak as I thought you were, but still you're no match for me little girl." Kidoumaru's cursed seal marks start to appear all over his face and arms. "For you, level one is more than enough, and now it's my turn to play." Kidoumaru bites on his thumb and performs several hand seals and shouts, "Kuchiyose no jutsu!" An explosion occurs, and as the smoke fades, a giant spider appears in front of Tenten. "Have fun with it." Kidoumaru says as he jumps into the trees to hide.

Staring face to face at the giant spider, its eight dark glistening eyes reflect Tenten's frightened face. :Oh gracious, how am I going to face this monster:

Without warning, the giant spider screeches loudly and begins hurling smaller versions of itself at Tenten, who tries her best to dodge the spiders and attacking them at the same time. :There are too many of them, I'll run out of weapons very quickly if I keep this up, I guess I have no choice: Pulling out two scrolls out of her back pocket, she quickly perform a series of hand seals. "Ninpo – Soushouryu!" Two smoky dragon-forms and shoot into the air, along with Tenten. The two scrolls Tenten was carrying now spins in spirals around her, the characters on the scroll begin to transform into weapons which Tenten grabs and throws. A hailstorm of weapons strikes down every single one of the small spiders that were launching themselves at Tenten. Soon, Tenten starts to target the giant spider, sending shruikens to cut down the web that the spider was holding on to, the giant spider pummels down to the ground. "Take this!" Tenten pins down the giant spider's legs with kunais, finishing up her technique with two kunais in her hands; she drops down and stabs into the giant spider's head. The spider emits an agonizing screech, and it disappears in a puff of smoke.

Tenten hops backwards as the beast disappears, at this exact moment an arrow shoots towards Tenten in midair, slashing her left arm. "Ugh!" Tenten shouts as she lands, holding her bloody left arm she looks up at her re-emerging opponent standing on top of a tree. "You coward!"

"You can only blame yourself for not being careful, but I guess I really underestimated you." Kidoumaru starts to change form, soon his skin became dark and horns grew out of his head. His eye became discoloured and his voice deepens to a demonic level.

"What the…?" Tenten says as she observes the metamorphosis of her opponent.

"I never thought I would have to use level two on a twerp like you, but for our mission's sake I guess I have no choice. I don't think you have any more tricks up your sleeves, and in that case, I shall finish you." Kidoumaru jumps back and pulls out a large arrow from his mouth, "You won't be able to dodge this one!" Kidoumaru launches the arrow at Tenten.

Traveling at such high velocity, Tenten barely dodged the arrow coming at her. "Not so fast!" Kidoumaru shouts as he pulls on the thin webbing attached to the arrow, changing its direction to follow Tenten. Noticing this, Tenten immediately runs towards a tree and does a back flip at the last second, causing the arrow to hit the tree. Kidoumaru detaches the webbing from his mouth and says, "Good job, but you won't be so lucky next time!"

"We'll see about that!" Tenten says. Immediately after saying that, Tenten jumps high in the air above Kidoumaru. Numerous strings can be seen on her hands as she starts to pull on the weapons scattered on the floor. "Take this! Ningyoushibai no Koutetsu!" Before Kidoumaru has a chance to react, all the weapons flies at him at stunning speed. "Score!" Tenten yells.

Tenten lands around twenty feet away from Kidoumaru just to be safe. As the dust fades from her attack, Kidoumaru's figure can be seen with many weapons stabbed into him. Tenten stood in shock as she saw Kidoumaru in a defensive stance, not at all harmed by her attack; he simply shakes off the weapons on him and glares at Tenten with a sinister smile. "Remember my Kumoyoroikin? Your flimsy weapons cannot hurt me."

Tenten returns to her attacking stance, preparing for another attack. :What am I going to do? With his armour I can't possibly hurt him; to defeat such an opponent requires techniques of either Hinata or Mitsuko."

"Playtime is over, little girl." Kidoumaru says and jumps into the trees to plan an attack.

Tenten cautiously look around her environment, she knows an attack is coming and she needs to concentrate to be able to avoid it.

Meanwhile, within the bushes Kidoumaru has a clear view of his target. :She is definitely not going to dodge this one: Kidoumaru pulls out another arrow, this time shaping the arrowhead to have more piercing power. "Sayonara." Kidoumaru says and he launches his arrow.
