Ino had finally woke up to find herself in a cave she knew she must have been out for a couple of hour she knew it hasn't been any longer than that. As she looked around the cave she could see Tenten not that far from her. She gasped as she stumbled towards the unconscious girl.

Kneeling down beside her "Tenten", gently shaking the girl who was in such a bad state "Tenten wake up", as she spoke again the brown haired ninja slowly open her eyes trying to adjust to the darkness.

"Ino?", her eyes shot at her blond haired friend as she came in sight "why didn't you go when you had the chance?", finally becoming fully awake.

"Tenten I couldn't leave you the way you where you could barley move your right arm and what good is a weapons mistress with one arm", Tenten glared at the girl as she slowly sat up refusing to admit that she was right. "it doesn't matter now just let me see your arm"

Giving her a questioned look she finally used the strength in her upper arm to move her arm as the lower part hung limp unmentioned as the blond girl grabbed her arm "what are you doing?"

"It a trick Lady Tsunade showed us", cocking her head in question

"Us?"

"You know me, Sakura, Hinata and even Neji agreed to learn medical nin jutsu so he could learn this", she grinned as she noticed her friend start to smile "ha I think he must be one of the few men who can actually use it must be because of his blood line". she spoke as she started to heal Tenten arm.

It took maybe an hour and a half for Ino to finish healing her friend's arm and during that time Tenten was protesting for them to leave but Ino stubbornly refused knowing if the ninja came back it would be hard for her to defend both off them. "Ino look at you your exhausted", Ino couldn't help but let out a forced laugh.

"Tenten right now you cant talk about how anybody looks at least I'm not that badly beaten", Tenten rolled her eyes as she opened and closed her right fist something she couldn't do that long ago "anyway there's no time to joke we need to get you back to konoha and get treatment."

Ino helped up the other female ninja letting her us her as support. Walking to the entrance of the cave they where stopped by a woman with white hair "It you again, let us through", Ino demined.

"I cant do that", her voice firm as she spoke looking at Tenten "I'll make a deal", turning her gaze to Ino "leave that good for nothing here and I'll let you go", Ino looked at her friend who just nodded her head in agreement.

Putting Tenten down against the wall "why don't I make another deal with you", standing in front of her hands behind her back "you step aside and let me and my friend past and I will forgive you for calling her a good for nothing",

The woman just laughed "Do you really think you can really take me?", Ino got into a fighting stance pulling out a kunai.

"Maybe I can't but I wont be the one that didn't fight for one of my friends especially one that think about other before herself I can't allow you to even think about laying you hands on her", as the two where ready to fight while Tenten yelled at Ino to leave her they where stopped by another voice.

"Carolyn what do you think your doing that's not the plan", a young girls walked into cave Tenten knew her all to well.

"Susumu?", she barely voiced out.

"That's not the plan do you really want to risk your chances getting all the ninjas back into the village", Carolyn sighed frustrated about being bossed around by teenager.

Tenten sat against the wall focusing her eyes on the younger ninja "I see what you are doing", they all looked at her "it disgusting actually you offer them false hope but as soon as this is finished you'll throw them away because that the type of person you are is it not?"

"Your wrong she promised us", the younger girl walked to the sitting ninja.

"So is that what you think maybe you should shut your mouth then", she delivered a hard strong kick to the chest of the sitting girl.

"AH!", she grasped her shirt as Ino ran next to her.

"Hey what was that about she injured enough without having some little brat kick her like that", Ino stood in front of her trying to help Tenten take less damage if need be.

The young girl rolled her eyes "Keen", a man walked in "we'll be leaving as soon as sun rise", he nodded then looked at Ino with a questioned look "we'll leave her here somebody's bound to find her", tossing a couple of bits of long ropes.

SUN UP

"Come on we should get going you've had enough rest", the teenager got up walking out followed by Carolyn who dragged Tenten along with her hands tied in front of her.

"Hey what do you think you are doing? Tenten", Ino shouted but could not move.

"I'll take care of her", Keen shouted to them "I will catch up", they nodded in approval.

"Hey what are you going to do?", Tenten tried to pull back but was no use she was dragged away.

The man waited before going into the cave while Ino only swore at him "okay, okay I get you don't like me but just listen", she sighed before she let him continue "that jutsu I saw you use on your friend a while ago I need to learn how to use it".

"Why would you need to use it can't help you to heal people", Ino glare at him.

"No but if the seal is activated while we are travelling and she cant move her hand she wont be able to fight", Ino cocked her head to the side.

"You don't believe me but I think I can make you", he pulled the bag of his shoulder puling out a large scroll hiding inside of it "they asked me to dispose of your friends weapon but instead I took all my stuff out so I can hide it just in case we get into any fight before your friends catch up"

"Why are you helping us?", the man put the scroll away and smiled.

"Because I'm a medical ninja no matter what I don't want anybody getting hurt if I can help it", she smiled back she didn't know why but she believed him "and plus your friend's right we are only getting used so I want to help show the other the truth of what going on",

"Okay I will show you", she smiled it didn't take long for the other medical ninja to master it.

"Thank you, I have already sent a letter letting them know your location", he ran out the cave

BACK AT THE VILLAGE

Sakura walked down the street of konoha "Hmm! I wonder where Ino is she was supposed to meet me, probably slept in just like normal", she rolled her eyes `that reminds me I willI need to tell Lady Tsunade what happened last night`"poor Tenten it just your luck" `damn it I need to give her scrolls back`

"It's a bit weird she normally trains early with Neji shouldn't she of noticed her scrolls are missing, it not like her", Sakura put it to the back of her mind as she walked to the hokage office.

HOKAGE OFFICE

"WHAT?", Lady Tsunade smacked her hand of the desk "what do you mean she gone missing", she yelled at the three men in front of her.

"It not like her to disappear", Guy sensei was now taking things very serious "and she wouldn't miss training for the world"

"I talked to her parents before coming here and they haven't seen her since yesterday morning", Neji informing the hokage.

"If that true we…" the door of the office swung open to reveal Choji and Shikamaru.

"Sorry to interrupt Lady Tsunade but Ino has gone missing", team Guy looked at each other they knew if this got out who would be the one to get the blame.

"Not another one", Lady Tsunade grumbled the team looked at each other confused "Tenten has gone missing as well", she rubbed her temples "right this is what…", the door swing open again to reveal an old lady. "Dose anybody knock these day", she glared at the woman "especially someone who isn't wanted"

"I need to discuses something about one of the shin obi and I think you know what one", lady Koharu Utatane came in shutting the door behind her.

"I'm sorry but could you leave what you have to say until later this is very important one of our teammate have gone missing", everybody shot a look at Lee like he just given away the biggest secret in the world.

"Oh is that so?, your in team Guy right?", stating the obvious "I was just coming to talk about your friend", they gave her a confused look "well if you say she missing I wont need to bother asking Tsunade to get rid of her she already left by herself."

"HEY! Tenten isn't the only one missing our teammate is missing too", Choji shouted.

"Is that so? So Tenten must have kidnapped her to prove her point that she doesn't want to come back", they where getting angry by the old lady "if that so we should go after the girls and if need be get rid of Tenten but if we don't we leave…" the door opened to show the pink haired ninja.

"Lady Tsunade I need to…", she stopped as she looked around the room "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean…", she stopped when she saw the old women and couldn't help keep her feeling under control "How could you talk to her like that?", she yelled.

"Sakura even though I don't mind you shouting at that withered old hag just now is not the time"

"What's going on?", she questioned still looking around the room.

"Tenten and Ino have gone mission", Sakura couldn't believe what she hearing that why she hadn't seen the two today. She turned her attention to the old woman.

"This is your fault what did you do?", the old Lady just ignored her.

"Can you please explain what you are talking about", Shikamaru stood with his hands in his pockets.

"lady Tsunade she was the reason she must have done something", Lady Tsunade motioned her to go on but she was interrupted.

"How dare you blame something like that on me", lady Koharu Utatane said in her normal calm voice.

"Your the one who said that Tenten was a reminder of her brother death that it was he fault. That she should just leave", she clenched her fist while everybody glared at her "how could you she done nothing to you", her eyes started to water.

"She could become a threat to the village I was just doing what was best for the village that somebody should of done along time ago how was I suppose to know that she would kidnap someone"

"Stop saying that", Neji blurted out with everybody's surprise "you don't know that for sure", Lee agreed

"What would you care anyway I bet she didn't even tell you her plans", team Guy looked confused "should I tell them Tsunade or should you?", the blond haired hokage glared at her

"If it's the thing I think it is I want to know who you got the information?", her gaze did not drop

"You where out I just happen to see what was on your desk", she gave a sinister smile "Your so called teammate asked for a transfer to a different teammate", almost everybody eyes widened.

"You don't know half of the reason why she did what she did you shouldn't go running your mouth you hag", Tsunade furies at the older woman.

Neji started to walk to the door as they watched him his back facing them "I will be waiting at the gate and will be leaving as soon as possible could you please assemble a team right away", the hokage nodded her head before he left.

"I want you all to gather the rest of konoha 11 and make your way to the gate Shikamaru you will be captain Guy you stay here", the older man folded his arms in protest but did not win while Shikamaru nodded before they all left to get there team.

"I don't believe they will do their job so I will assemble somebody I know who get the job done and I've already got somebody in mind", she slowly walked out.

"Hey I didn't agree to that", she shouted after her but no response "I guess I have no choice in it but hopefully they can do this for Tenten sake".

THE GATE

Neji sat alone awaiting for everybody `she wanted to leave team Guy but why? can I get her to change her mind if she leave I would never get another chance to see her` he sighed rubbing his closed eyes. Smirking at the memory that kept popping up in his head

FLASHBACK

They where on a mission that was supposed to last three weeks but team Guy had finished a week early and Guy had aloud them to have a couple of days off before heading back to the village and came to rest in a small village which was popular with rich tourist.

Neji walked around by himself hoping he would find the female member in his team. As he walked he could see a large crowd gathered around a wall of a shop "what going on here?", he spoke softly as he slowly walking towards the crowd pushing past the people in it .

He couldn't believe what he saw in the centre of the group a girl with twin buns and three needles in her hand `what happening why are the gathered around Tenten and she not wearing her headband`, then his eyes came to a man who looked a bit frustrated.

His eyes came back to the girl who was facing the wall a couple of feet away from it focusing on a board with number around it and a bull's-eye in the middle. He watched as she threw the needles hitting the bull's-eye three times. "No way", Neji heard the man shout before going into his back pocket pulling out money.

`She not really doing what I think she doing`, Neji watched as she took the money.

"Come on double or nothing", man spoke "you only got lucky," he pleaded with her as she took out a large pile of money while she rolled her eyes counting the money she had gotten the rich tourists that had challenged her for a game "I'll make you a deal if you can get it on the target again I will give you double what I gave you and if you don't I will get that wad of cash in your hands", Neji smirk he knew it was impossible for her to lose

Agreeing she picket up another needle firing it again this time not even looking hitting her target "damn it fine here you go", he slapped the money in her hand before storming off.

After watching her collect her needles he walked towards her "Tenten what do you think you are doing?", he grabbed her at the elbow pulling her over to the side while everybody continued on with their routing. "Your scamming these people how do you think this make konoha look if they're ninjas are doing stuff like this"

"Hey calm down Neji it not like these rich people would notice they don't know I'm a ninja and plus I think konoha would be proud to know I was earning money to fund my weapons that help me fight and also these nice people are helping two of konoha shin obi buy lunch for energy to help them train". He gave a confused look "come on I'm buying", she laughed before walking while he mumbled behind her.

END OF FLASHBACK

He smirked that had been almost two years now since that had happened staring up at the sky as he opened his eyes "You haven't changed a bit", he spoke as he finally felt familiar chakra looking at the people in front of him. "Lets go", he paused as soon as he saw the wind queen herself Temari "what are you doing here?", he almost snarled he knew Tenten wouldn't like to see her.

"Hey don't get that way with me its not like I wanted to be here but lady Koharu Utatane said she didn't trust your decision making and I was already in konoha so she asked me to tag along. I'm here just encase Tenten dosent want to come back so if I must I will be the one to take that weapons mistress down I won't lie I'm hopping I get another fight with her I want to check out this new jutsu of her is any good maybe she wont be such a waist of time in round 2"

"How… , Lee started but was cut of by Shikamaru while the rest glared at her.

"Temari that enough", he rubbed his forehead "troublesome woman, right Kiba we need direction so I want you to lead the way", nodding his head they ran off.
