Chapter V
'If you could only let it be'
Tinnara yawned and stretched her arms above her head as she put her feet over the side of her bed. She noticed Masako and Naruto still asleep on the floor. Tinnara smiled when she saw this as she got up and walked over to her bathroom. Apon opening the door both Naruto and Masko jumped out and tackled their still half asleep friend. Well if she wasn't awake before she was now.
"What the hell you two!?" She cursed at her grinning friends, "Can't I just have a normal morning with out the constant worry of being nocked over?"
Naruto and Masako looked at each other then back at Tinnara and shook their heads with goofy grins plastered across their faces. Tinnara sighed heavily but then began to laugh a bit.
"All well I guess it just woudn't be fun if you had the same old boring morning ever day, huh?" She laughed. "Come on we should probably start getting ready for training."
Masako and Naruto high fived, "Yeah!"

They all walked down the stairs to the kitchen and greeted Tinnara's mom who had breakfast on the table. Just as they all had sit en down Deidara opened the door and smiled at them.
"Hey." He said. Tinnara stared at him suspiciously. 'He's a bit cheery today isn't he.' "Hi Tinnara-chan."
"Hello Dei-kun." Tinnara smiled back, wiping the suspision from her face while Masako and Tinnara's mom just exchanged looks.
"Your mom invited me over for breakfast. I hope you didn't mind that I just let myself in, hmm."
"No not at all." Tinnara's mom said cheerfully. "It's always a pleasure to have you over dear. Oh and by the way Tinnara what do you want for your birthday? It is in a few days you know."
"Mom you don't need to get me anything." Tinnara smiled. "The only thing I need to know is that you and my friends are always going to be here and we remember each other, even if we're a hundred miles away." Her mom smiled back and set all the food on the table.
They all quickly ate the food that was presented to them and started out the door.
"Hey Masako." Tinnara asked as soon as they were out the door.
"Hm?" She replied opening on of her closed eyes.
"You know how you mentioned how you went to 'do something' yesterday, what did you really go do?"
"Well if you really must know I went to go pay Sasuke a little, uh, 'visit' lets just say." Masako answered proudly. Tinnara smirked.
"Heh and just by what you've said I'd have to say you tied him up in a closet and then told Ino and Sakura where he was, didn't you." She said and Masako nodded.
"Oh yes. And let's also just say he's going to be emotionaly scared for the rest of his life." Masako annonced with a smirk. Her and Tinnara both laughed at the thought of what Sakura and Ino might have done to him.
"This is probably the best prank since you told Sasuke that you and Itachi were going out," Deidara winced at the mention of Itachi's name. "which you would never do because he's in the Akatsuki, the organization of S-Ranked criminals. I bet he's the only good looking on in there too." Tinnara said.
"Hey how would you know that, hmm?!" Deidara shouted sounding kind of offended.
"What's with you? I actually don't know what the other seven members look like for I've only met Itachi and Kisame but if one of the Akatsuki came up to me and asked me out I'd say 'no' of course because it's completely forbidden. Besides none of those heartless crimanals would ever have enough compassion to show any love for someone other then themselves." She explained. Deidara lowered his head.
"Yeah... You're probably right..." He hated to say those words, they stung his heart painfully. 'Not all of us are like that... But like she'd ever love a 'heartless crimanal' like me anyway...'
"Here we are! Believe it!" Naruto shouted once they reached the training grounds.
"Wow amazing Naruto. That's the first time I've heard utter you're obnoxious phase since I got here. I'm impressed." Masako smirked, arms crossed. "I guess Tinnara had to teach you a lession or two in the time I was gone, huh."
Naruto's signature goofy grin spread across his face and he scratched the back of his head like he usually did. "Well after being hit upside the head, thrown in a river, had choji eat ramen right in front of me while being forced to watch and her constantly threaten to tear my limbs off and have blackmail picture of that accidental kiss between Sasuke and me plastered across all of Konaha village you kind of learn."
Deidara turned towards Tinnara who now had a smirk appear on her lips. "Whoa, that's really harsh, yeah."
"Well it gives me somthing to do." She shrugged. Looking around Tinnara noticed Might Guy's team there but there was no Kakashi. 'God late again? I'm going to have to talk to him about this.'
"Hello Masako..." Someone said. Tinnara turned to Masako and could have sworn she saw her shudder.
"Shut up Sasuke! You might want to leave me alone unless you want a repeat inncident of what happened yesterday!" Masako screamed at him.
"Oh come now Masako, you are one of the only girls that I have nothing but respect and admiration for." He said. Masako's eye twitched with pure discust.
"What do you mean by 'one'?" Masako asked. Sasuke turned his head towards Tinnara and gave her a smile. Deidara's eye twitched.
"Whoa I think I'm going to throw up..." Tinnara said holding her hand over her mouth.
"Sorry Sasuke, actually no I'm not sorry but, I could really careless about what you feel towards me and my friend." Masako crossed her arms and Tinnara smiled.
"Face it Sasuke, we both hate you." She told him cheerfully. Sasuke's face became as emotionless as normal.
"Is this the Sasuke guy that you mentioned on our way here?" Deidara asked with a look of confusion on his face.
"Yep this him, in all his duck-ass haired glory." Masako explained.
"Hm, really? He doesn't seem that bad, hmm." Deidara said then thought, 'I'd like him a little better if it wasn't for the fact that he likes Tinnara.'
"Damn Deidara, you're hopeless." Tinnara said, slapping herself. "Don't you think so Masako?" She stopped when saw Lee.
"Hello Masako-chan." He said. Lee was a nice guy, but the only problem was he is just really clingy. Masako sighed.
"Hello Lee." She said with a bit of regret in her voice.
"Ten Ten, Neji and I will be training with your squad today." He told her.
"Oh great you and Neji! I can't wait." Masako said sacasticly.
"Hello everyone." a voice came from behind. Turning her head Tinnara was able to see it was Kakashi who had only just arrived. She sighed. 'He's always late. Would it kill him to be on time for once?' "As you all might have guessed we will be training with Team Guy today."
"You will be paired with someone, that can either be from your team or the opposing one, and you will have to fight them." Might Guy continued. 'Hm, I already know you I'd like to face.' Tinnara smirked and took a quick look at Deidara.
"Hey Masako." Tinnara slightly heard Sasuke say.
"Shut up Sasuke." Masako quickly retorted, "And in the words of my brother, 'You're a fag, Believe it!'"
Masako said it a bit too loud and which apon hearing this remark Tinnara began to laugh uncontollablely. "Nice dis Masako." Her and Masako high fived.
"Heh, thanks." Everyone was staring at them and Sasuke had a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Are you two done yet?" Kakashi asked. Tinnara could tell he was hold back a laugh.
"Yes, Kakashi sensei." Masako smiled back.
"Okay here are the first round battles, Neji vs Sakura, Tinnara vs Deidara, Masako vs Sasuke and Naruto vs Lee. We will continue elimination rounds until someone defeats their opponite in the final round." Kakashi explained. Tinnara and Masako both glanced at each other with evil looks on their faces and even though they could read each others minds they knew what the other was thinking.
'We love who our opponentes are.'
Neji and Sakura went first. It didn't take that long either, Neji easly over powered Sakura.
"Neji goes on to round two!" Kakashi announced, "Next will be the battle between Tinnara and Deidara."
Tinnara smirked, "I'm going to greatly enjoy kicking your ass Deidara."
"I warn you Tinnara, don't expect me to go easy on you just because you're a girl, hmm." Deidara smirked back.
"Heh, you're going down!" Tinnara said confidently.
"A little full of ourself aren't we, hmm." Deidara said.
She laughed. "Nope, not at all, just smart."
"Go Tinnara! Kill him!" Masako shouted from the side lines. Tinnara smiled at her friend and gave her a thumbs up signaling this was going to be a peice of cake. 'This is going to be hard the way my chakra has been acting up. I'll just have to stick with taijutsu and only resort to using chakra when I need to.'
"GO!"
Tinnara and Deidara both lunged at each other, kunai in hand. They collided in the middle struggling against the others kunai. Simotaniously they jumped apart, Tinnara took three shuriken out of her pouch and threw them. The shuriken hit their mark and Tinnara smirked then Deidara disapeared in a cloud of smoke. 'A shadow clone!' Her eye widened. Suddenly he reappeared behind her and raised the kunai to Tinnara's neck. "Heh, and I thought you could do better."
"Oh, don't count me out yet." Tinnara said disapearing.
"Ah where'd she go?" Deidara shouted, searching franticly.
"Right here!" A hand grabbed hold of his ankle. 'Shit!' "Earth Style, Headhunter Jutsu!"
He felt the hand pull him down through the ground up to his neck. Tinnara walked infont of him and crouched down, smiling. "Sorry I had to end it so soon but I was getting bored." She said poking the middle of Deidara's head. 'I was getting bored'!? Hmph she can really annoy me sometimes.'
Tinnara stood up and stomped on the ground causing the ground to bring Deidara back up to the surface. He crossed his arms and walked back over to the side lines. 'He must just be sore because he got his butt kicked by a girl. It's a good thing my chakra didn't act up but in my next battle I'll have to be cautious.'
"Tinnara goes on to round two!" Kakashi announced. "The next round will be between Sasuke and Masako!"
Masako had that miscevious look in her eye like she was hiding something, and she probably was, it would surprise Tinnara one bit if she had something planned for Sasuke. "I'm going to murder Sasuke hurrah, hurrah!" Masako sung on her way into the ring. She closed her eyes. 'Hm, this must be part of her plan.' Tinnara thought.
"Begin!"
Masako quickly opened her eyes reveiling nothing new, but that was what made Tinnara even more interesting. Sasuke's eyes turned red with the sharingan.
"What was the use of closing your eyes?" Sasuke asked appearently unaware of what Masako had planned.
"Oh you'll find out soon enough." She smirked. Sasuke quickly stuck a kunai in her chest and returned her smirk but it imediatly disapeared when Masako turned into a log.
Sasuke looked all around, searching franticly.
"Boo."
Masako had appeared behind him. Sasuke quickly had ten shadow clones appear, but Masako easly plowed though them, hitting their charka points until one was left. Sasuke fell, gasping for air.
"How could you- You possess no sharingan."
"I am using my own special sharingan." Masako smirked, "It's called the hidden Sharingan for I am able to make it appear as if i am not using it, because my eyes still appear normal, when in actuality I am." Sasuke stood up one hand grasping his shirt and the other still clutching the kunai.
"Well even if you are using a special kind of sharigan, I'll not finished yet." He said.
"Oh yes you are." Masako bent one arm down and on towards the sky. "Eight trigrams, sixty-four plams!" Sasuke fell, heaving in great amounts of air. Masako just happly skipped off to the side lines.
The rest of the matches continued on until it came to the the final one between the two top Genin.
"The match between Masako Uzumaki and Tinnara Eguchi will now comence!"
Tinnara and Masako both smiled at each other. "This should be fun, eh Tinnara-chan?"
"Heh heh, just promise you won't hold back." Tinnara nodded. They took there fighting stances and lunged at each other thoughing everything in that had. Kunais, shuriken, dopple gangers. Tinnara could tell Masako was holding back. She knew she wasn't using her sharingan because she didn't want to hurt her.
Then all of a sudden Masako stopped. "Okay Tin-Tin wins!" she smiled. "I'm late for my date with Shino!" with that she ran off back towards the village.
"Shino!?" Naruto shouted in disbelief.
Sasuke was on the ground pouting and Lee was rambling about how he was more... youthful then Shino and how he desurved her more.
Tinnara laughed to herself. 'Those idiots will never understand how a girl's mind works.'
"That's it for todays training." Kakashi said. Everone nodded.
"I think I'm going to head home, hmm." Deidara said.
"Yeah me too." Naruto replied.
"Okay, see you later." Tinnara waved to the guys. "Master Kakashi I'm going to stay here though and work more on my chakra, 'kay?"
He placed his hand gentally on her head, "That's fine. But make sure you don't over work yourself.
"Don't worry, I won't. You shouldn't worry too much kakei." she smiled.
After all the teams had left Tinnara began her training. First step was to use low chakra jutsus then work the usage level up.
By an hour later she was exhausted and hadn't gotten any closer to figuring out what was wrong. She was about to throw in the towel and go home for the night when she sensed two bodies behind her.
"What do you want?" she asked calmly. There had been no answer when she felt a stringing pain in her arm and she colapsed to the forest floor. The last thing she saw were two figures standing over her.
"Mission accomplished."
