Chapter four-The surprise in the waterfall

Naruto started to walk towards Shibuki's home.

" Hey Naruto, I can't thank you enough for what happened. since your staying while I'll have a room set up for you... it's already late and there will be a lot of theives around " Shibuki said guiding Naruto through his village.

" I don't know... meaning Tenten might want to get home, and I haven't had Ichiraku for a while but... " Naruto stopped on arrival to Shibuki's home. " Why not " They entered the home as Naruto pulled of his bag. " Here's your weapon order " He opened the bag but closed it iagain in embarassment. " Heh wrong bag..."

Tenten was walking around the village looking for a place she could get supplies until she turned round seeing a man and women walking up to her.

" excuse me girl, have you seen a boy aorund here... he had a blue bag on " The man said. " He also had short blonde spiked hair and a orange jumpsuit on " He continued. Tenten thought for a minute before replying.

" Why are you looking for him?" She asked plaing her hand on her hip, ready to grab a scroll. " I might have seen him if you have a good enough reason "

" Why he stole a bag of weapons from us on the road " The women said looking up at her. Tenten grabbed her scroll and put it out in front of her.

" your the guys from before " She said biting her thumb and opening her scroll. The two people, who were identified as rouge ninja, charged at her. Tenten spread her blood on the scroll then summoned two sets of knum-chuks then dodged there charge. She caught a glimpse of there headbands 'mist' just as her ankle was grabbed.

" Your a noisance kid " The male said throwing her towards the water. She landed on top of the water, rolling along the surface. She stood up and charged at them again. The two nin laughed before forming a few seals. A wave appeared behind Tenten as she turned being pulled under the water. She couldn't surface.

" I wonder where Tenten is?" Naruto said looking around for Tenten with Shibuki.

" I'll look in the inn incase she planned on staying. Why don't you look near the waterfall for her " Nauto ran off after this message.

" Naruto started to head towards the lake just as he saw two ninja forming seals. He looked out at the lake then saw something floating ontop.

" That looks like...a knum-chuk!" He dove into the water and swam towards the object. The ninja laughed while causing another wave. Naruto formed some clones then dove under the water. The clones diverted the nin's attention as the real Naruto dove to save a drowning Tenten.

" He saw a blurred figure floating around so he swam towards it. As he got closer, it got clearer until he could grab it. It was Tenten, unconcious. He surfaced just as a wave came down on him but he swam back up while placing Tenten on his back. He focused his chakira to his feet then ran along the surface towards the shore. A wave appeared infront of him so he summoned two shadow clones. He put his hand out as the two clones performed the rasengan. He charged in with his hand out after it was finished, evaporating the wave. When he reached the land he sat Tenten against a tree then formed his rasengan again and ran at the ninja. They laughed at this until another ninja appeared behind them.

" Rasengan!" Naruto appeared with a ball of chakira in hand and rammed it in to the womans stomach knocking her back. The male turned as another clone charged at him with another rasengan. He moved out the way and ran to his comrade, picking her up then disappeared into a cloud of smoke. Naruto ran back to Tenten, who wasn't breathing. " Tenten! oh man... what should I do?..." Shibuki ran up after hearing the noise of fighting to see Naruto holding Tenten in his arms.

" Naruto is she..." He said running beside him.

" She's not breathing..." He sat her on her back then took a deep breathe then started a CPR procedure. " She's gonna kill me after this..." He said taking another breathe. After a few minutes Tenten started to cough startling an exausted Naruto. Her eyes opened slowly then she sat up patting her chest.

" what happened...?" She said looking cofused.

" That's right, you past out " Naruto said rubbing his head. Tenten stood up then looked out to the water.

Shibuki stood up. " yea, and Naruto revived you by us-" Naruto covered up Shibuki's mouth.

" If you tell her she'll kill me " Tenten turned.

" Is that right... well thanks Naruto " Everyone froze.

" eh, yoor not gonna pound me?" Naruto asked confused.

" Want me too ?" Naruto backed waving his hands about. She looked around then saw her bag floating in the water. " well, that whole switch the bags was a wasted effort"

Naruto started rubbing his head some more. " Oh Tenten, I kinda arranged for us to stay here tonight... since it's already late " Tenten nodded then headed back, hopeing to change her very wet look to dry. Naruto dove into the water again to retreive the bag, that Tenten dropped.

Shibuki showed them there room until they both nearly lost it. They only had a one bedroom apartment with two single beds in the room. There was a reasonable sized bathroom and kitchen though.

" So this is were we're staying tonight?" Tenten asked walking in and looking around. " okay "

" Hey Tenten, are you sure your okay?" Naruto asked in a scared sorta way.

" Well I'll leave you to it, by the way I left some clothes for you two behind the shojitsu screen. " Shibuki left. Naruto was still confused to Tenten's sudden change.

Tenten was first to change. She wore a darkblue sleeveless nightdress. She then took out her buns letting her hair fall down to about mid way of her back. She stepped out from behind the screen folding her clothes, Naruto tried not to look to curious. Tenten caught him taking a peek then blushed about it. Naruto decided to stop himself so went to get changed after sneezing a few times. He was given a white top with black shorts. He didn't care as long as he could get to sleep in them. Once they were both ready they went downstairs to make something to eat. While they tried to make something edible Naruto decided to bring something irresistable.

" Hey Ten-ten chan, when we get back to the village..." He started to blush. " ...will you go on a date with me?" He gulped.

Tenten blushed. " why not... " She said showing a happy smile indicating it was a definate yes. Naruto smiled back before scolding his hand making some cupped ramen.
