sorry in advance... not good at writing battles/ fights...but i feel like there is no storyline without them :P

Chapter 9 –Her People: Her Teammates-

The ninja placed her hand on Tenten waist, so she could deteriorate Tenten's wound.

However the ninja was stopped by a sharp pain in her back. A kunai had stabbed her. She quickly pulled the kunai out 'Who… dare…?' The veiled ninja said in a very irritated tone

'That kunai…AH! NEJI!' Tenten called out as Neji appeared standing between Tenten and the ninja.

The ninja turned around and stared Neji down. Neji was not intimidated and stared back

'Tenten are you alright?' Neji asked with his eyes still on the ninja

'Hai!' she stood up

'I need you to take Uchuno away from here'

Tenten nodded and quickly jumped away, grabbing Uchuno by his collar

Before they could get any further another ninja appeared from the shadows. He was a large built wear a large black coat which hid his face, as well as the rest of his body. The dark ninja thrusted his huge fist foward aimed at Tenten's head.

The fist stopped right in front of Tenten.

'MEN SHOULDN'T PICK ON GIRLS!'

'Lee!' Tenten cried in relief

Lee did one of his corny nice guy pose (you know…the one with the thumbs up and the shiny teeth…)

'You are so out dated…' Tenten complained about Lee's implications that girls are weaker 'but I'll forgive you this time'

A sweatdrop appeared on Lee forehead 'Well what was I suppose to say?... HERE COMES THE GREEN BEAST!... Hey that's good…note to self…'

'I'll leave the rest to you…Let go Uchuno'

The dark ninja released himself from Lee's grip and jumped beside the veiled ninja. Lee also jumped next to Neji.

'What up with you?' The veiled ninja asked the dark, however he didn't reply

'Ready?' Lee asked Neji

'Hm…I'm always ready'

Both Neji and Lee waited until they could no longer here Tenten's foots step. The four ninja advanced forward to one another

Lee ran towards the dark figure and landed numerous kicks. The dark ninja took each one and didn't bother to avoid them. Lee desperately continued his attack.

Neji fought using his open fist style on the female ninja. It was clear from the way she was dodging and the distance she left between them that she was familiar with the style. Neji began to panic little he didn't know what to do he had to think of a plan.

The veiled ninja noticed the Neji attacks were getting less furious and that his attention was else where. She used this time to the best of her advantage. Concentrating a large amount of chakara to her hand she grabbed Neji necked and pinned him to a wall.

'I knew a boy like you couldn't handle a lady like me' She smirked

'DAMN YOU' Lee screamed in frustration that his attacks were doing no damage. The dark ninja was now attack in return however Lee was able to avoid them all. The dark ninja attack although extremely powerful his was really slow compared to Lee. He was a close distance fighter and although Lee was also one, he had to create distance between them. However Lee knew that he couldn't win by dodging alone and delivering hits giving no damage. At this rate he would only hurt himself.

Then Lee notice, from the corner of his eyes, that Neji was in trouble. He quickly left his opponent to help his comrade and advanced at the female ninja.

Neji, however didn't need the help and was able to strike the female ninja on the arm holding him, as well as kick he in the other arm. Instinctively she jumped back, Neji followed.

However she jumped into the air. As a result, Lee who was advancing from the back and Neji who was advancing from the front collided with each other.

'Owww… I sense a group training session in our future' Lee said rubbing his head

The female landed in front of the dark ninja

Once again they were positioned exactly the same as the beginning of the battle. Neji and Lee beside each other, with the female veiled ninja next to the large dark one cross one another.

Once again they advanced at each other. This time, however, Neji went for the dark ninja while Lee went for the female.

Neji attack furiously at the dark ninja, only to 'miss'. The dark ninja made his move and punched Neji in the stomach using his awesome power. Perhaps, it wasn't the best idea the fight close range. After all the ninja was a close distance fighter and although Lee was one too he had to create distance between them.

Whereas Lee and the female ninja they were both equally matched in speed. They both delieved punches and kicks, avoid some however getting hit by some too. Her hit were quite weak however they were able to scratch Lee's skin. She then focused a large amount of chakara to her foot, spin kicked and pinned Lee to the wall. She did have complete comtrol of her chakara, something the Lee lacked

The dark ninja went in for the final blow to finish Neji and the the veiled ninja placed her hand on Lee chest to worsen Lee scratches into sometime big.

'GAHHH!'

'AHHHH!'
