Chapter 2- The chuunin exams
Tenten's POV
This year we are going to be participants in the Chuunin exams. Chuunin is the level ahead of genins. Gai sensei wanted us to wait a year before we decide to be in it. Obviously the other senseis didn't think of this, because all the rookie nine: Kakashi's, Kurenai's, and Asuma's team were going to participate.
We are currently in the Forest of the Death. We passed the question part of the exam already. It was quite easy, I had my weapons to get answers and pass them to Lee, and Neji had his Byakugan. Anyways, I think this year we would have a good chance at this exam, we have improved quite a bit. I am known as the weapons mistress of Konoha, Neji is the Hyuuga prodigy and Lee has excellent skills in taijutsu. He still lacks the skills of ninjutsu and genjutsu, but he followed in Gai- sensei's footsteps and became an excellent user of taijutsu. Neji and Lee are so good, that sometimes I can't help but think I'm in their shadow…
Neji's POV
I watched quietly while Tenten was writing in her journal. She did this quite often, whenever she was excited, nervous or sad. She has improved quite a lot. I used to think she was weak. Before she had her 'rising twin dragons' and I already had my ' ultimate defense'.
Flashback: ( normal POV)
" Tenten, get up," Neji ordered in a harsh tone. He watched as Tenten struggled. Sigh. " You must train harder, Tenten. Or you will drag the team down." Tenten gasped. ' Her, weak? She used to think Lee would drag the teamdown.' As if Neji knew what she was thinking, he said, " Even Lee has become an excellent taijutsu and has improved more than you." With that he walked away….
Flashback ends( back to Neji's POV)
But now that she has her special move, she has earned her title, weapons mistress of Konoha. She has the best aiming skills, even surpassing me! I do not know how she does that, but she HAS improved a lot. Tenten, I noticed, was not only strong now, in fact, she is quite pre…. STOP thinking of THAT Neji…. Oh oh, I think my face has changed during that inner struggle, because Lee and Tenten stared at me. So I put on my usual emotionless face and told them the plan.
( time skip- preliminary rounds- Tenten's POV)
We finally made it to the tower, and even though Neji and Lee may not think it was hard, I did. A lot of strange things happened though, Lee was late for the first time to meet with us after Neji told us the plan, which was surprising because like Gai- sensei, he is always talking about your youth would be gone if you are late bullshit. So we went to look for him…
Flashback( normal POV)
" hmmm. Strange, Lee is never late." Tenten stated, looking at her teammate, who answered. " Let's look for him." They ran through the trees until they found Lee in a clearing. He was down after fighting some sound nins. Sakura Haruno was on the ground, beat up with her hair cut. Shikamaru, Chouji, and Ino were fighting at the moment.
They were eventually beaten, and Tenten was about to jump in until Neji stopped her. " I feel immense chakra.", and he was right, because Tenten felt it as well. Then they both saw Uchiha Sasuke, the Uchiha survivor and genius. The chakra was coming from him, and he had marks all over…
Flashback end(Tenten's POV)
Now that we are in the preliminary rounds, we have to fight one on one. So far, Sasuke won, Shikamaru won, and Sakura and Ino both tied. OMG! It is my turn now! I'm so pumped up. My opponent is someone from the sand, interesting…
( Neji's POV)
I watched as Tenten made her way to fight her opponent, Subaku no Temari( A1N: is that there last name or no?). I have a bad feeling about this. I watched as Tenten threw her first few shurikens, and they missed. No, Temari dodged them, they didn't miss. At that point I knew it was over. Yes, I am always correct, and that is fate( A/N: I just had to add that, sorry!). Even when Tenten used her special move: Rising twin dragons, and launched all her weapons, it didn't work. In the end, she got caught in Temari's wind with chakra in it. I don't know why, but at that moment, my heart felt like it was in pain, when I saw Tenten getting hurt, but I pushed the pain way back.
" She fought a well match, but it is over."
(Tenten's POV)
I can't believe I lost. Furthermore, I can't believe Lee lost! At least Neji won. I was happy when I heard that… well of course, I mean I am his TEAM MATE. Right now I am already outside the hospital and watching Neji fight Naruto. Of course, Neji will win. Like he said, it's fate…
Well, that is the end of Chappie 2! Please review!
