Walking down to the training grounds we could only hope Hinata had not yet left for the day. It was still early in the day being mid-afternoon, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Although he couldn't see me Neji knew I was here. He must have been uncomfortable with the whole idea of knowing he was being watched because he kept glancing in my direction, not really seeing me as using the Byakugan in public would create some worry. For a change I had the upper hand.
It was only a few minutes' walk to the place where Hinata's cell trains. It was that way with any cell's area, in case an accident happened. With Lee training, it was a good idea.
There was a fence around where Kurenai's cell was. Neji leaned back against it and I climbed up on it.
For a change I had time when I was able to sit and just…look around. I glanced at Neji.
"What?" He turned his head slightly, showing that he had his Byakugan activated. I shook my head. I did have something to say, but I almost didn't want to say it.
Kiba looked in our direction suddenly. With the sudden stop Shino and Hinata also looked up. The Hyuuga walked over, and fortunately was the only one to walk over.
"Hello Neji. Why are you here?" Then she noticed Neji's Byakugan and activated her own. Upon seeing me she tensed up slightly.
"Does that answer your question?" I saw her nod but I turned away.
"Tsunade needs to know about this," I whispered, knowing it was only to myself.
"Tenten…" I whirled around and suddenly the sign language I taught myself came to mind. But I could only hope that one of the Hyuugas knew it.
'W-e n-e-e-d t-o t-e-l-l T-s-u-n-a-d-e.'
There was a slight pause as the two registered my movements. And then, "We need to tell Tsunade?" Hinata was the one that spoke.
"She is the best medic nin. She's also the one who knows what happened. But what do we tell her? That we're seeing an apparition?"
I glared at my teammate. 'C-h-a-k-r-a,' I spelled out.
"Chakra…What about it?" Neji de-activated his Byakugan and Hinata followed suit. Then he turned toward the hospital.
(Past here it's the same as the other chapter)
"I'll explain as we walk." The two headed toward the hospital, trusting that I would keep up. I did, but I wasn't able to hear their conversation.
When we reached the doors to enter the gargantuan building, my thoughts were Screw doors. So I went through them like a wall.
Getting inside the horrible hospital we knew what to do. And so we did.
Hinata was the one who found the Fifth. She was behind a group of people behind the front desk. But she had used her Byakugan. (Sneaky…)
We ran up to the desk and Tsunade was able to see that we, well, Neji and Hinata, had something important to say. She dismissed herself from her conversation and walked up to them.
"What's wrong?"
"We know something about Tenten," Neji replied. He was the one that knew the most about this.
Tsunade didn't say anything and Neji continued. "The poison I saw during the battle must have put someone's chakra into Tenten's body, and Tenten's chakra is with her spirit." Neji waited for Tsunade's reaction.
The medic nin sighed audibly. "Come with me. You'll need to tell me everything."
