Nobody left any comments on the last chapter :( you guys don't like the story anymore...? Anyhoo, here's the next chapter...

Immediately Tenten hears where the arrow is coming from, she goes near a tree and plan to use the method she did before to avoid his arrow. The arrow appears and Tenten jumps over it, but this time the arrow manage to go right through the tree. Tenten realizes too late and the arrow flies back and wounds her on her side. "Kuso!" Tenten exclaims and she collapses onto the ground. Clutching her side which is bleeding massively, Tenten drifts off to a train of thoughts.

Tenten's flashback

Tenten thinks back to her childhood, when she was constantly complained about for being a girl.

"You stupid piece of trash! All you can give me is a girl? What use are you if you can't even conceive a boy for me!" Tenten's drunken father shouts as he slaps his wife, causing her to fall on the floor.

A small Tenten cries and runs to her mother. "Okasan! Daijo bu? Odosan yamete! Stop yelling!"

"Who gives you the right to talk you money wasting worm!" Tenten's father grabs Tenten and slaps her in the face.

"Stop! Please! Don't hit her, please!" Tenten's mother gets up and beg her husband for his mercy.

Tenten's father drops her and marches out of their house angrily, leaving the daughter and the mother crying on the floor.

The first day after becoming a Genin.

"Okay guys, why don't each of you introduce yourselves tell me your goals of being a ninja?" Gai sensei asks the group.

"I want to go first!" Lee says and he stands up. "My name is Rock Lee, I can't do ninjutsu or genjutsu, but I plan to work hard in being the best shinobi regardless!"

"How naïve." Neji says under his breath.

"Okay, how about you?" Gai sensei points at Tenten.

"My name is Tenten, I plan to become the best kunoichi in Konoha, and I want to show everyone that being a ninja does not depend on gender and I can do just as well as anyone else being a girl!" Tenten answers.

Back to reality

:I guess I've always envied both Neji and Lee. Neji is such a genius, if I was born like him, maybe I would've saved my mother the pains caused by my father. And Lee, he knows that he's in a disadvantage to other ninjas, but yet he tries so hard to make the best out of himself. All this time, I've been standing in the shadows of Neji and Lee, I've tried so hard to improve myself, but can I really do it? Can I really become great like my team? Am I strong enough:

Meanwhile Kidoumaru watches from a distance, "One more shot and she's gone." Kidoumaru prepares another arrow.

:I have to get up, I can do this: Tenten pushes herself up, her whole body sores and she's bleeding intensely.

Tenten glares at the direction where Kidoumaru positioned himself. "What? Can she see me? Whatever, she won't be able to dodge this one anyways." Kidoumaru launches his arrow, again with a string of webbing attached to it.

Tenten is expecting the arrow, and this time instead of dodging it, she stood still and allowed the arrow to shoot right through her upper right chest. Tenten staggers and blood flows out of her mouth.

"What the hell? Why didn't she jump?" Kidoumaru asks himself. Before he had anytime to react, Tenten on the other end of the line summon all of her remaining strength and hurls Kidoumaru out of his hiding spot and into the air. Kidoumaru didn't have enough time to detach himself, neither did he prepare a web armour.

"This is it!" Tenten shouts, she takes out another two scrolls and unties them. "Shippu-Soushouryu!" Twin dragons emerged from the smoke and surrounds Kidoumaru with no ways of escape, this time the scrolls unleashes a maelstrom of weapons at him directly. Kidoumaru screams in agony as his blood rains onto Tenten.

Kidoumaru drops to the ground defeated, his body returned to its regular form. Tenten pants in exhaustion, she takes a kunai and cuts the web attached to her. Her shirt completely soaked with blood and she begins to lose consciousness. "Okasan, mina, I did it…" Tenten collaspses.
