Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto...or Sasuke or Neji or Gaara...Okay I'm gonna stop now before I get upset
Chapter 2
Tenten PoV
Okay... to tell the truth I'm not sure what to think, I mean I'm annoyed that we've just been forced to create a brand new team, with people I've never spoken more than six words to. I only knew their names because Neji used to complain about (of course in only the most nobel and Hyuga like of manners) Hinata, and Sasuke, well you'd have to be deaf not to hear the screams of "Sasuke-kun!", how is that he has not gone deaf yet? Uchiha jutsu? Industrial strength earplugs? Then our... I use this term in the loosest way possible... 'teacher' Sharingan Kakashi, all I know about him is that he's a pervert, joy. But from what I overheard Naruto, well I say overheard, more like I was on the other side of the village and still couldn't not overhear, our 'teacher' cannot teach, so at least we'll have an easy time.
~~~~Time skip~~~~ 7 o'clock the next day ~~~~
Well I've been waiting here for the past 10 minutes, so far no one has turned up, I'm actually starting to feel kind of awkward... Thank Kami, someone's here, its Sasuke, great, why couldn't it of been Hinata, I might of actually been able to talk to someone, as from what I have heard he only says dobe, hn and swears to kills his brother, I'm wondering how with those astounding people skills he still remains the village heartthrobthat and the fact that he's fourteen, how can a fourteen year-old boy with a very limited vocabulary be a heartthrob?... and I've just missed everything that he said, good job Tenten, very well done.
"I'm sorry Sasuke-san, could you repeat that"
"Fine..." no need to sound so annoyed, you've had worse and was the eye roll completely necessary? "...is always late so I would wait over there" gesturing to the edge of the training ground, which was covered in trees "and train while I wait, Hyuga's already there..." he's walking away, is that his way of saying follow? Thinking about it, this is the most I've ever heard him say, without mentioning his brother... and he's almost reached the trees. Have to stop zoning out.
Hinata P.o.V
Wonder what Uchiha-san's doing, he just left me here in the forest without a word. What do girls see in him? I guess I'm meant to just wait for him... I'm curious as to what this team meeting will be like, as out last meeting was very typical, my first meeting with Team 8 was much the same. I wonder how Kiba and Shino are doing, not forgetting Akumaru, i hope they're not fighting again; they should be fine...unless Shino accidently gave Akumaru fleas. No, Shino's smart enough to, avoid that situation. Wonder how they'll take the news of my new team, I feel guilty about leaving Kurenai-sensei to break the news to them, but I'll be back with them soon. I just have to train hard enough, I've spent enough time sitting around, if I have to wait for Uchiha-san to return, I may as well train. I push myself off the floor and slide into the juuken stance, activate my byakugan, drawing chakra into my hands, I begin by running through the standard katas, I've started to feel more confident about using the family style now that I have developed my own techniques, I may not be a genius like Neji-niisan, but I have done something he hasn't, created something new. Feeling warmed up, I alter my stance ready to begin my original techniques... just as Uchiha-san returns with Tenten-san in tow.
"Hello Tenten-san" I slip into a normal stance, deactivating the Byakugan.
"Sorry to keep you waiting" she replies scratching the back of her head, she looks, rather embarrassed, I'm not sure way, I was the one who was early.
"I've only been here for a f-few minutes myself" I'm not really lying an hour is only 60 minutes. "Uchiha-san, was here before me"
"Sasuke" huh... Uchiha-san spoke! He hasn't spoken to me since he told me that Kakashi-sensei was always late.
"H-huh?" Was the only reply I could muster, they must think I'm an idiot.
Sasuke P.o.V
She looks as though I grew a second head or something along those lines, all I did was speak, come to think of it the other one, Tenten had the same reaction when I spoke to her, but thinking about it, I've never had a mission with either of them and have never spoken to them either. We only interacted in the chunin exams, and for half of that, I was still traumatized. I had just been given a glorified hicky by a snake freak, who then confessed to wanting my body. What the hell possessed me to try and join that freaks village?
"Sasuke's fine, not Uchiha" so she looks less confused now but, still doesn't seem to have got over the shock of me speaking.
Tenten was the first to recover from the shock of me speaking, and asked "Right, so Sasuke-san, how long will it be until Kakashi-sensei arrives" she actually sounded as though she was in pain, when she called Kakashi sensei, I would of thought that it was a step up from Gai, but obviously not.
"Well he's normally a few hours late," I began before being interrupted by quite possibly the loudest outburst from a normally quite kunoichi.
"A few hours!" Would you look at that she was so astounded that she forgot to stutter, though she's still not as loud as Sakura, for that both me and my ear drums are thankful. She's now gone bright red from the attention, realising what she's done. "S-sorry S-sasuke-san" and the stutter is back with a vengeance.
"As I was saying before Hyuga's,"
"H-hinata" is she going to make a habit of interrupting me? "If I am going to call you by your first name, then you will call me by mine, so it's fair" Well it appears that, the shy kunoichi of Konoha can make demands like everyone else.
"Okay as I was saying before Hinata-san interrupted me for the second..."
"Yo" I hear in a lazy voice behind me, calm Sasuke, murder is not the answer, nor will it help. "I thought told you that we would meet at the bridge at seven" he says, making a show of sounding disappointed, great, now they're going to blame everything on me, just great.
"Well, I was at the bridge at seven and you weren't so..." wait she's actually defending me? We just met?
"...so we d-decided to t-train while waiting" Hyu- Hinata-san's defending me as well, why, it would be easier to let me take the blame.
"Fine...well then... team four? Two laps around Konoha and meet back at the bridge." Wait, Kakashi-sensei is making us run? Normally we just start missions and train in our own time, I think the only thing he taught Naruto and Sakura was tree climbing. The girls having already set off have stopped a few trees and are looking back at me, what are they doing? Why is Kakashi-sensei making us run? "Your teammates are waiting for you Sasuke-kun" waiting for me, why would they do that, we don't need to run as a group, they could go alone. These girls are strange. As I begin to run, I hear, "Don't think I'm gonna go easy on you this time..." Why do I feel oddly worried?
Kakashi P.o.V
I meant what I said Sasuke, I was called back in by the Hokage, She tore into me, that's for sure, but she had a point, I was a terrible teacher to team seven, maybe if I had done something differently, been more like sensei, then you wouldn't of attempted to leave the village. This time I'm going to do this right, this may only be temporary, but this team will work.
"Welcome back team, now let's start training, I want to see your skills, Bun girl fight the Hyuga, weapons and jutsu are allowed but nothing that can't be healed easily." They nod and take their places in front of me and Sasuke, one glaring at me all the while.
"It's Tenten not bun girl, you may want to remember that, she might skewer you otherwise," was Sasuke's helpful advice as the girls started to fight.
"Yeah, Tenten got you..." I mumble, resisting the urge to pull out Icha Icha, as this fights outcome is obvious, the Huyga will try to get in close to cut off the chakra in bun girls arms, while bun girl continually tries to get further away, throwing her weapons. So far the fight is going as planned, Bun girl has very good aim, and is succeeding at staying out of the juuken's range, but Hyuga has dodged most of the throws due to her byakugan, but has been left with minor cuts.
"Sorry Hinata-chan but I'm going to go all out now" she slips two scrolls out of a pocket and places them on the ground, "Rising Twin Dragons" The scrolls unravel into the air, bun girl jumping up after them, not a technique I've seen before. Unsealing the weapons she begins to throw them in quick secession. Looks like this fight is over, no way Hyuga will be able avoid all those weapons. I would of liked to have seen more of her skills though, but I know that she needs to work on defence now.
I turn to Sasuke about to tell him that we're up next, but he seems preoccupied with the fight, Hyuga seems to be creating line of chakra in front of her in an attempt to stop the weapons, an impressive show of chakra control but, it won't stop those weapons, no matter how fast she speeds up. She gets faster and faster and just as the weapons are about to hit, she yells out "Protection of Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms". And finally it clicks, the increasing speed and the strand of chakra, she was making a complete shield, like the Hyuga's rotation technique, if it works it will be very impressive. I duck to avoid the blades rebounding off the dome she created, Sasuke appears to be actually impressed, and I can see why, a fourteen year old girl has created her own technique. An absolute defence at that.
"That's enough! Girls take a rest I'll fight Sasuke-kun now" As they sit down I could overhear, their conversation about the fight,
"Wow Hinata-chan that technique was amazing, I couldn't hit you with even one weapon" She sounded rather upset about that, it is quite disheartening if your best technique cannot hit someone, maybe she needs to learn to use close combat weapons, like a sword.
"But I didn't even land a hit on you Tenten-san and my technique wasn't that impressive," What the. What I overheard from Sakura was right then, she does have confidence issues, maybe I should send her to see a strong kunoichi or something, because how am I supposed to make a teenage girl confident. But who would I send her to, she's already been taught Kurenai, and it wouldn't make sense to send her back to someone she's already learnt from when she could learn something new, maybe Yugao or Anko.
So onto my own fight, we take our places and the fight begins. He runs straight at me kunai drawn, once in range, he brings arm and kunai down towards me, I bring my arms up to block, attempting to sweep his legs out from underneath him, throwing the kunai towards me as he begins some very familiar hand signs "Kanton: Great Fireball Jutsu" I replace myself with a log and prepare to end this fight, I already have a good grasp of his strengths, and how the ban on being a ninjutsu specialist will cause problems. I use the body flicker technique to appear behind him kunai drawn, he spins, ready to block my attack.
"Ok we're done for now Sasuke-kun, bun girl you've had enough rest" she nods her head in reponse. "Right, you're up next then..."
So on my team I have a Hyuga with no confidence, but a skill for inventing her own techniques, who needs to work on branching out from the Hyuga style and her confidence. A weapons specialist, with incredible aim, but can be taken down easily by wind jutsu, she has to learn to use short range weapons, like a sword if her style is going to improve. Finally Sasuke, he's a great ninja for his age, and is becoming skilled with the sharingan. But now that he is no longer allowed to be a ninjutsu specialist, he'll have to think about other options like genjutsu, or taijutsu.
Ok, sorry the chapter is late, but in my defence I have been revising for my exams. So please review and I hoped you liked the chapter.
