"Neji, I'm bored."
Neji looked up at Tenten with irritation. "Do you think I'm here for your amusement?"
"Yes."
"…No. I am here for training, working on my endurance. You are supposed to be here for the same things, actually. Gai-sensei said so."
"Mm, but I'm bored. And I've already trained a lot. It's not my fault you need to train more than me. And if you're going to train, work on your aim. It's awful."
Neji stiffened. Was it possible? Could it be? Had he just been insulted?
"So if you're not working on your aim, you should just amuse me. Cuz if you aren't practicing the right things, it's just a waste of time anyways."
"Let me repeat myself, little girl. I. Am. Training. I am not here for your amusement and being on the same team doesn't make us friends. And my aim is ten times better than yours, at least. I have the Byakugan; I can see EVERYTHING."
"Wanna bet?"
The arrogant Hyuga was about to retort, when he had a brilliant idea. This was how to finally get some peace and show that girl who was boss. "Yeah, I do want to bet, actually. Let's have a contest. If I win, you have to get out."
"Okay," Tenten agreed. She walked over to some trees.
"We'll set up some targets, and see who can hit them dead center the most times. If I win, you have to amuse me, although this is going to be amusing anyways, I bet. If you win," Tenten allowed herself a superior smile. "Then I will leave you alone. For now, anyways." She casually started carving target shapes in the trees with a kunai.
"You think you can beat a Hyuga at accuracy? I have the Byakugan, in case you forgot. I could hit every one of those targets with my BACK turned. In ten seconds, you are going to be leaving this section of the woods with your tail between your legs."
Tenten merely smiled again. She then turned around so that she had her back to all the targets. "Let's test that theory."
Neji shrugged. The sooner they had the contest, the sooner he could return to training. He turned around and activated the Byakugan. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. He turned around to see seven kunai wedged almost dead center and two only an inch or two off, just as he'd known he would.
Tenten pulled them out and took the same position as he had. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Neji gaped as every kunai hit a few millimeters away from the marks of where his kunai had stuck in it. Of course, the last two were more towards the center though.
"Wha…" He was cut off as she summoned a ruler from one of her scrolls and carefully measured the distance. When she stepped away, she was grinning.
"Mine were closer."
"But you couldn't even see them. Is...Is my Byakugan failing me?"
When he stuttered he sounded just like Hinata, Tenten noticed. So cute! But, "No. your Byakugan is not failing you. This is merely the victory of months and months of training and also GIRL POWER!"
Neji blinked. Tenten sighed.
"Allow me to rephrase that. What I meant is, just 'cuz you can see something doesn't mean you can hit it. And I can hit targets blind. So, I am superior in this case. And your weak spot is definitely accuracy."
"So amuse me," she added.
"I'm not here for your amusement."
"…You're a poor loser, Hyuga."
"Yes I am, so get out before I kill you."
"So cold. This isn't fun. I'm leaving."
As she disappeared, Neji turned back to the targets. His endurance training would just have to be postponed.
ACCURACY TRAINING BEGIN!
