You know which character I love? TENTEN! Of course, even though she has about the smallest part in Naruto (curse those editors), she's still one of my favorite characters.
A blooming Cherry Blossom
Naruto was in a pickle. (No, not literally) Sakura was dating Lee and his plan failed miserably to break them up.
Naruto walked by the training grounds, just taking a walk to figure out another plan to get rid of their relationship.
He saw Tenten and Neji at the training grounds, looking depressed.
Naruto approached them and waved a hand in front of Neji. "Hello?"
Neji shot a dirty look at Naruto and pushed his hand aside. Tenten sighed.
"Hey guys, what's he matter?" Naruto asked curiously. Did they break up or something? Naruto thought to himself. He gasped and patted Neji on the back to cheer him up.
Neji looked puzzled at Naruto patting him on the back.
"What the hell are you doing?" Neji scorned.
"It's ok." Naruto said sympathetically.
"Huh?"
"You broke up with Tenten right?" Naruto asked. "That's why you're sad."
Neji looked skeptical. "No! Where did you get that?"
Naruto stared at Tenten and then at Neji. "Um…if you didn't break up, then what's the problem?"
"It's Lee." Tenten and Neji said at the same time.
"Lee?" Naruto asked. "What's that matter with Lee?"
Tenten scoffed at the obvious question directed from Naruto. "Naruto…isn't it obvious? Sakura isn't the right person for Lee!"
Neji nodded slowly. "She'll probably dump him soon. And then, he'll get all depressed. And then Tenten and I will have to cheer him up. You have no idea how annoying that is." His voice drifted off.
Naruto looked surprised. "You guys are his teammates! Shouldn't you be supportive?"
Tenten and Neji looked at him like he was crazy. "No."
Naruto thought for awhile. An evil idea popped into his head. "Hey guys…you want to help me with a little plan?"
He grinned. Maybe he could break Lee and Sakura apart.
(Later)
Naruto, Tenten and Neji walked across Konoha.
"So exactly what is the plan to break those two up?" Tenten asked. She liked the idea of this plan, but the idea that Naruto was their leader. Ahem…you might as well wave that white flag up now.
"I'm not sure yet." Naruto said.
Neji and Tenten's jaws clonked on the ground. "YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN?"
Naruto stifled a laugh. "Well, first, we need to gather more people for our plan."
He walked towards the Yamanaka Flower shop. They walked inside, and as predicted, Ino was at the cashier, watering some plants. She looked up and saw Naruto, Neji and Tenten approaching.
"Oh great. What do you want?" Ino asked. Her short hair bounced.
"Heh heh, well, Ino…" Naruto started. "You want to help us break up Lee and Sakura?"
Ino looked at them like they were stupid. "Yea right, break them up so that Sakura can get her hands on my Sasuke-kun? No way!"
Naruto looked back at Neji and Tenten.
Tenten scoffed. "Now what?"
"Way to go, genius." Neji said flatly.
Naruto huffed and faced Ino again. "Guess what Ino?"
"What?" Ino shot back angrily.
"…"
"So? What is it?" she asked again.
"Oh…I don't know. It seemed like the only good thing to say…" Naruto whispered.
Ino scoffed.
Tenten pushed Naruto aside and stared at Ino. "Ino, do you want everyone to know that Sakura got herself a boyfriend and you're still alone?"
Ino looked at her.
"People are going to think you can't land yourself a guy while Sakura can just snap her fingers and BOOM! There are bunches of guys right there." Tenten continued.
Ino looked at her, eyes widened at her logical explanation.
"YOU'RE RIGHT!" Ino said, standing up. "WHAT SHOULD WE DO, LEADER?" She shouted at Naruto. Naruto and Neji just stood there blankly. Girls are scary…
"How'd you do that?" Naruto asked Tenten.
"Girls can do anything." Tenten winked.
Ino smiled and a light bulb appeared on her head. "I have an idea! I'll get someone else here!" With that, she ran outside and returned with Shikamaru a minute later.
Shikamaru stood there confused.
"Hey, I was taking a nap. Why am I here?" he asked.
Ino stood proudly. "Now, we have another person on the team!"
Naruto, Tenten and Neji stood there with a not so sure look on their faces. But they shrugged. Shikamaru will have to do.
(Outside)
The team now: Naruto, Tenten, Neji, Ino, Shikamaru (who obviously had no clue how he wound up here in the first place)
"Ok, you have a plan?" Tenten asked.
"Not yet." Naruto said.
"This is so troublesome." Shikamaru said.
Naruto rubbed his chin evilly. "Now the only person we need left on the team is…"
"KIBA!" Tenten, Neji, Ino, Naruto and Shikamaru begged at Kiba's feet. "PLEASE JOIN OUR TEAM TO BREAK UP LEE AND SAKURA!"
"Huh?" Kiba asked. He had just finished training with Akamaru, and when he turned around, a couple of idiots were begging him to join something.
"We need someone as cunning, evil and wicked on our team!" Naruto pleaded.
"Someone like you!" Tenten said.
"DON'T MAKE US BEG!" Ino shouted.
Kiba just stared at them and shrugged. "Whatever. I got nothing better to do anyway."
End of chapter. Gahh, this chapter was lame.
And confusing. Sorry people. I'm so pissed right now I can't write. Post reviews anyway?
I don't exactly know what the next chapter will be. So stick around to find out.
