This one is dedicated to Animegirl1o1, who found that I did indeed make Neji say "hn" in nearly every oneshot for my game. I hope you like it! (if you don't, send me a message and I'll give you another)

Wanna hog a dedication to a chapter all by yourself? Send me an idea, your favorite pairings, or just send me a message about ANYTHING, to the fact you'll only drink tap water to your favorite color crayon. But I'm not promising anything.

My lovely beta reader chibirain94 did the unpredictable. I thought I'd keep posting hints and no one would win my game. But ya know, shockers happen everyday. Chibirain94 is the WINNER OF MY GAME AND GETS TO PICK INO'S PAIRING IN THE MATCHMAKING SERIES!

The final answer was… "Geez he hated explaining things to the Dobe" and 19 Hokage Day.

I don't know if you know this already or not, but I LOVE YOU GUYS:).

This one has one sentence repeating every other paragraph.

Nejiten through the childhood years. (academy days-Shippuuden so far)


Contrary to popular belief, Hyuuga Neji was not a coldhearted bastard as a child.

His hate for the main branch, and for everyone in general, didn't start festering until later.

Instead, he was kind.

However, he was especially kind to fellow academy student and future teammate and love interest, Tenten.


7-year-old Tenten was thrusting kunai after kunai into the center of the target.

She was thinking.

Thinking about her future as a kunoichi.

Thinking about that stupid sexist Nara Shikamaru.

Thinking about how he thought girls couldn't become strong ninja.

Suddenly, her mind drifted off and instead of having the kunai land in the center, it fell.

A boy, watching from nearby, with his Byakugan, walked over to the kunai. He picked it up and glanced at it a bit. He was training so hard at Jyuuken, he'd never really worked with kunai often.

With a smile, and touch of worn hands, from training, the two found an admiration for each other.

That day, Hyuuga Neji decided there was one bearable girl who was not a fangirl in his class.


Contrary to popular belief, Tenten was not placed on Neji's team by fate.

However, Neji persuaded his uncle to donate a good amount of the Hyuuga fortune to the academy.


Iruka-sensei held up a piece of paper signed by Hyuuga Hiashi, with a donation amount on it.

He bit his lip.

"Iruka-sensei?" a voice called out.

Iruka turned to see nephew of so-called-donator, Hyuuga Neji.

Neji found himself at Iruka's desk.

"I have a proposal…" Hyuuga Neji stated.

Iruka nodded, knowing this probably wouldn't end the way he wanted it to.

"I would like that weapon-wielding kunoichi on my team…" Neji said.

He was straightforward.

Iruka bit his lip, "Tenten is one of the best kunoichi in your class. Especially with that 100 percent accurate aim of hers. You are the best in class. Meaning you get dead-last and middle-of-the-class on your team."

Neji nodded, "Exactly. But please make an exception. Better her than a fangirl. And besides, Lee is dead last, so I'll have him on my team. He can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu. Wouldn't it balance out the teams more if Tenten, Lee, and I were all on the same team?"

Iruka sat there, thinking over Neji's proposal. That genius boy did have a point, after all.

With that, Hyuuga Neji walked out of the room.


Contrary to popular belief, Tenten does not and has never had a crush on Lee. She likes Neji.

But she'd rather be Gentle Fisted to Suna than tell him.

She admires Lee for standing up to Neji. That is all.


"I WILL DEFEAT YOU ONE DAY, ETERNAL RIVAL!"
The cries of the younger Green Beast rang throughout Konoha.

"Lee, you will never defeat Neji. He is a genius." Tenten said straightforwardly.

Lee seemed to looked shocked, "Are you protecting me, Tenten? From Neji's Gentle Fist? Can it be your springtime of youth has come and you are in love- with me?"

Tenten slapped her forehead, "No, Lee. I AM protecting you from Neji's fist but no way in hell am I in love with you…"

All the while Neji was inwardly fuming at Lee for thinking such things.


Contrary to popular belief, Neji didn't set Tenten free from the water imprisonment, not because he didn't like her, but because he wanted to Jyuuken the crud out of the person who put her in the imprisonment.


Neji was inwardly fuming. Again. His beloved sparring partner was losing breath with every passing second. "Byakugan."

In a slight amount of time, Neji was free, setting Lee free as well, and then killing the clones of the bastard who almost killed Tenten. He wouldn't lie to himself; he was a little bit jealous that Lee got to play the hero and set her free.

…But the best part was, he got to catch her when she fell…


I've always wanted to do one of these, where the one sentence repeats. Eh. It's okay I guess…

Oh yes, and the reason I had Nara Shikamaru be the one whose comments distract Tenten in weapon throwing is...

Remember what happened when he found out the Godaime Hokage would be a girl?
Enough said.
