Chapter 9 Divergences from a story can be lethal
Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki two S-Class Shinobi were on the bridge yup we're dying …
Everyone turned to the arrivals and got on gaured as a multitude of people were behind them even what seems like Gato who came to the front of the pack.
"Kill the bridge builder I don't care if what you do with the others." Gato laughed as he pointed at us and he was laughing he was cut cleanly in half by Kisame as Itachi looked at him oddly. "What? I heard he wasn't going to pay us so I killed him now but we do have a job to do anyways I wouldn't feel right if we didn't " I looked to my side at Sasuke in particular as he looked angered and shocked but more importantly scared.
"However kills Gato's killers are recognized to take his wealth!" I yelled everyone turned to me confusingly but a battle cry was heard as more came from the bandits on the other side of the bridge.
"Yeah that Money is mine" a random bandit said as more and more bandits said similar things as they ran at Kisame and Itachi who looked at each other and Kisame took a step forward.
'Why are they here? I know they need-they need money that's why G-Gato hired them after someone must have spot us…FUCK! We can't take on Itachi and Kisame…we have currently two A-Rank Ninja and 6 Genins and a Chunin at best Haku that leaves us with 9 and I don't know if can come out of this alive…'
Performing my Shadow Imatation as both Kakashi-Sensei and Asuma-Sensei looked at me warningly. I gulped and through my kunai harmlessly to the floor next to them as they took notice of it then the Shadows that came from it patching onto Kisame and dodged by Itachi as the shadow continued following him he looked at me but I didn't look at him knowing the consequences that can have I takes everything I have to stop him getting out of the Jutsu. His Chakra way outclasses mine in amount and probably in control too so holding an S-Class shinobi is no joke. Kakashi and Asuma-Sensei rush in at Itachi who was fending off the bandits who seemed to forget about Kisame as he was easy pickings for later if he was stuck. Itachi defended against a sword by stabbing the bandit with his own weapon before kicking him away as he encountered more Bandits.
"Get Itachi Uchiha Sensei's! We can buy time for Sharkboy over there." Everyone of that hasn't gone like Naruto, Haku, Sakura, Sasuke, Ino and Choji looked on if I was crazy.
"Naruto…just think of this guy like an anbu or ninja trying to make you clean up your mess from doing a prank." I smile even then Naruto I knew had some good stealth and go disappear from situations because of how he's able to lose Anbu's and Chunins when he does a prank. Naruto nodded as he created 100 Shadow clones and transformed them into the 7 of us. The ones that turned into Sasuke actually had the Sharingan activated but you could tell by there reactions if it was Sasuke or not.
"Guys this is Kisame Hoshigaki one of the seven swordsmen of the most…his sword is called Samehada and it can absorb Chakra…he said to have as much Chakra to rival a Tailed beast…" I struggled to hold the man it's been 20 seconds right about now and it's a struggle to keep him down.
"What's a tailed beast?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Kisame intently.
"He's called the Tailless Tailed Beast and they refer to like being like the Nine Tailed Fox…" Everyone looked at the now Shark Man as he escaped forcibly breaking the Shadow after 25 Seconds.
'I still have some Chakra left in the tank but it might not be enough to help.' I crouch down as I saw the Man walk forward thrusting the blade forward.
"The Bridge Builder and I might just let you kids live." We all watched him approach as the Shadow Clones all ran at the Man who slashed waves of them to Disappear. Oh god dammit we need more.
At seeing his Shadow Clones getting so easily destroyed he created more another 100 to be precise as he once again transformed. That gave me an idea! Substitution Jutsu if we can't attack without getting hurt in return then why don't we have a Shadow Clone Get us out of the way for it to take the blow.
"Naruto!" Everyone turned to me.
"Make some of your clones make Substitution Jutsu's and make sure they don't use them until I say now." He looked at me weirdly it did.
"I need you to know I'm transforming into you but my Pouch is on my left side." All the Shadow Clones nodded as I transform into Naruto and grabbing a Kunai i and a bunch of clones run at Kisame as I run into the middle of the pack. If it I can use Lightning style please let me use it aaaahhh. I try coating my Kunai with Lightning once more while I was running at Kisame and I was getting angry why wasn't this working. Lightning in this world behaves like a thing you generate that you can use to Cloak yourself and shoot out fucking lightning bolts or Cloak your hand with it like Chi- 'Cloak I've been trying to insert the lightning in the kunai not cloak it. This isn't a lightbulb where I heat it up as I always felt it heat up and had to stop once and I while. I look back at my Kunai as it's surronded by a blue hue with the occasional lightning bolt sticking at the outer of the field. I ran passed Kisame as he slaughtered more Naruto clones and I made it obvious that I jumped and yelled as he caught me with his arm out stretched as I said "NOW!" I was quickly replaced by a Naruto in front of Kisame as he turns to me as I stab him with my Kunai as it shocked him. Dragging to Kunai as it digged digger into more of his skin I was shown the bandages of Samehada rip off as he slashed at me until I was next to everyone back at the other side of the Bridge as they looked at me as if I was crazy. I detransformed and fell on my knees as my Chakra was almost all gone. We saw Kisame eliminate the last clone as he forcefully pulled out the Kunai still containing Lightning Chakra shocking him as he through it up and slashed it down breaking the kunai and absorbing the Chakra in the kunai. Samehada from where we looked seemed to grow back it's bindings as Kisame absorbed and healed himself with the Chakra.
"Huh you're good kid…maybe I shouldn't kill you you seem like one that would be a good fighter in the future." I saw the shark like laugh and grin as I still was on one knee due to my exertion. Everyone that was still standing got ready for a duel with the shark man until he was attacked from behind by the bandits whose numbers were cut in half due to Itachi having to focus on both Asuma and Kakashi plus all these Bandits it was starting to fire him out and he started to cough up he tried to hold as he raised his hand to block it from coming out but was caught by Kakashi's kick and was sent back a bit as he faced off with the two Jonin as the Bandits attention was now on Kisame who was slicing them.
"Bows the best time" they all Nodded and Naruto unloaded 300 clones that had some on the railings there were so many and everyone rain as I saw a multitude of Naruto who stood at the very back doing the Substitution Jutsu. I watched the following battle as it was a total cat and mouse exchange it they landed any sort of blow then they would get turned on and nearly die if it weren't for the multitude of clones getting out of reach of Samehada then he was killing Naruto's clones tens by the 10 seconds. As the clones of Naruto's reduced I saw that Itachi had tried not using his MS all battle maybe that's why he was struggling so much against them. I turn to see a Naruto clone to my right why to probably keep me safe and if tried to leave he would get me and hold me back.
Itachi looked like he couldn't hold out much longer without busting his MS and there's Kisame who was literally and figuratively getting Jumped by multiple people who either hit him with shuriken, needles of some kind being normal or ones made of ice though non were lethal and he could regenerate just fine Itachi couldn't keep up with him.
"Kisame" he coughed out a bit of blood as Kisame looked at his partner with some sense of worry and he let out a frown. "We need to leave." Kisame nodded as Itachi ducked under the blade of Kisame who started to spin in a circle causing any person in the vicinity to be slashed as Asuma-Sensei read the attack through Itachi who ducked he jumped away before performing "Fire Release : Ash Pile Burning which turned almost like a tornado of Ash as both Kisame and Itachi quickly Body Flickered away as Asuma-Sensei let the explosion rip as it exploded part of the bridge and separated the Shinobi and Bandits who were left who were almost non existent at this and upon seeing the Jutsu the rest of them that weren't dead or to injured to move all ran away to be stopped by the Villagers who were all here. "We won't let you terrorize our land anymore." They all yelled as all the Bandits quickly gave up.
I looked at Tazuna who was staring at the fighting before smiling at the people. "Hey Old Man sorry about the bridge."
Tazuna raised his eyebrows as he looked at the damage to the bridge but he just smiled still.
"Hmm don't you know what you did you all brought hope, passion and happiness to a country that it's residents were all almost homeless and now the guy doing it is gone because of you guys why would I be mad when that can be easily replaced. People passion isn't something replicated but built differently each time it breaks and you ninja did bring that for this Country." Me and the Naruto Clone look at the Old Man before we looked at the crowd of people celebrating by the bridges entrance. "Yea…yea guess we really did it…" I close my eyes as I felt my sense of balance disappear as I was caught by the Naruto clone and Tazuna. "Heh thank for that." He pats me in the head and rushes my hair as I undo the tie as it fell heh my hair actually starts to hurt when I have the ponytail for multiple days and honestly I like my hair down I felt like I could blend in easier but the pony tail did help me as with my hair sticking close to me I usually feel hotter and generally sweat more. They both have there things there good at if it was strictly appearance I'd have my hair down but practically would be the ponytail. I yawned as I look at the sky it was a sunny day outside hmm it was pretty much raining since we got here maybe it's a good omen I mean we've had some pretty bad ones so far. It's still unreal to me we fought two Akatsuki in the first arc of the original series and no one died. Other than Zabuza and the Bandits and me getting hurt multiple times almost having brain damage and a whole lot but hell what doesn't kill you makes you stronger I guess. I use the Naruto clone to carry me to the rest of the groups and they turn to me and I feel Asuma-Sensei hand start to rustle my head and hair as he had a bright grin. "I saw what you did out there kid and holding an S-Class shinobi and for a genin is extremely impressive." I smiled but I don't know Kisame was probably one of the worst opponents I could fight now especially since I JUST STARTED! But I digress.
"What was there deal with the black cloak's and red clouds are they a boy band or sumthing." I tried honestly to be funny now as I did hear a fee chuckle and amused smiles but I looked to check at everyone again and at Sasuke who's been just staring at the sky has he held out his hand. Ah probably thinking he's getting stronger to kill his brother and even encountered him now would probably not force his way to more power through uh you know the curse mark. I'm just happy we're all alive with a couple of wounds from the Jonin-Sensei's but other than that we did better than I expected. I thought we were totally going to get Mollywopped but Itachi decided to hold back and Kisame was holding back so we were lucky but probably not going to be lucky one more time.
Maybe I should make some more tricks than just ones with kunai in them.
"Hey I managed to do the kunai and Lightning exercise you said." At that Kakashi-Sensei's eyebrows rose or the only visible one. I smiled at his reaction and he eye smiled as well.
"Well could you take him home." The Naruto Clone nodded as we left for Tsunami's place. There should be extra clones there patrolling the place for people that might try to get Inari or Tsunami but they were tied by a tree and I smiled at there unconscious self's as we entered the home and I promptly fell asleep fast. That one day with Haku staying up all night talking with her fucked up my normal schedule and it still fucked. Ugh how troublesome I keep getting hit with Chakra exhaustion but I never outright pass out as I know when to stop but I have gotten close to not moving and passing out.
Opening my eyes to see I was on the couch still with a blanket over me as there was only the dinner table lights on as I walk to the table and see a sealed food in a plastic wrap. Looks good. I take a seat and starts to devour the food as I look out the window to see the peaceful night sky out there so peaceful. I take a deep breath and exhale. 'I should calm down we just completed an actual…is it an S-Rank mission now or still A-Rank eh maybe since we brought info of the Akatsuki it might change.' Ugh trying to work shit up with variable numbers piss me off and I want to go home now maybe I could sleep and not worry about if there somebody coming to kill me in my sleep be it my own teammates or enemy ninja.
It's been about another week the Wave due to us Ninja being here having helped even liberating a empty facility of Gato that no one was there helped the villagers to get back on there feet as everything was starting to get rebuilt with the help of actual people or the amount of Naruto's clones you see and you could see a lot as a saw another 3 pass me with wood bundles going to a store to help rebuild. Huh it's been better nothing has been happening and it's been amazing I've been able to train as I learned a technique called Lightning Release : Lightning Bolt which is kinda just like converting lightning in your hand and throwing it at someone and explodes and shocks the person. Next on that would be to try and recreate Kakashi's Purple Lightning which he used with no handsigns but there apparently is handsigns for the technique but I think it's better to build up my reserves a bit more at about now I have about a low Chunnin to Chunnin Chakra reserves if I guessed and using one would probably take half my Chakra or a little less than half as it's stronger than Chidori and Raikiri with also being 3 hand signs that were if I knew and do know am not going to use now as I'm in the middle of the street. It's better to use at a safer place like Konoha as well.
I walk until I see the bridge it about done and seeing the gate and having a red rope closing it off as a massive group of people showed up. Even everyone was here as well I guess I just wandered huh.
"Been waiting long enough for you." I heard Ino say as I turn to her and stand by her on the side as Tazuna was in front of everyone.
"What are we going to name the bridge." Tsunami who said was in the very front. I felt a touch from my back as I turn to see Asuma-Sensei throw my bag at my face as he started to chuckle as I took it off my face and blank at him.
"Well what about the Super Awsome Bridge that Tazuna Built." I snickered in my fist as Tazuna laughed out loud. Sounded like a joke my old Dad would say and I really see the parallels they both have especially the drinking they both do. I smiled it reminded me of my own old man. Especially when he's drunk and tries to tell me life advice but it's really just ramblings heh.
"Well how about The Fire-Wave Bridge." Right to the point but also not a bad name that Inari gave after all who would name it the "The Great Naruto Bridge" I turned to Naruto who raised his voice but I go behind him and try to strangle him.
"I guess it's the FireWave Bridge." He cut the rope tied like a ribbon as Cheers erupted through by the crowd as we walked on the completed bridge and look at the sea side as quietness starts to over take everyone.
"I'm afraid this is where I must take my leave." I turned my head to see two roads one back to Konoha and another to the Land of Tea which was where Haku was going. She was probably going to reside in a village and train to become stronger and help with the current rebellion in the mist.
"Just take care Haku I want to hear that your alive and well I we all want to see you again." I smiled as she hugged me before jogging off on the road to our left.
"Wow it's such a beautiful scene that was." I heard Asuma-Sensei tease me as I just sighed. Haku asked we buried Zabuza and even leave the Executioners blade at Wave.
We progressed as Kakashi-Sensei and Asuma-Sensei just continue to tease me over me being good with girls. Is that a good thing? Eh
We made it to the gates of Konoha and saw Kotetsu and Izumo at there station bored out of there minds.
"Seems like you guys are having a good time." I sneaked up on them and they both jumped as I, Asuma and Kakashi chuckle at the two.
"Well it's good you all are safe. You all should get to Lord Hokage for your reports." We all nodded and we went straight for Hokage Tower.
We walk inside the Hokage's office as we all stepped into to see Team 8 in there as well with Kurenai-Sensei at the helm.
"Oh hey Kurenai-Sensei how are you doing today." I smile at her and she smiles back and then looks at the rest of us in our tatered clothes.
"Oh my what happened to you guys. I know it turned serious when two Chunins level ninja you encountered.." we sweat at the motherly tone but Kiba did explode.
"What you guys got to fight other ninjas!" Asuma-Sensei took it upon himself to explain.
"Yes we encountered and defeated one of the seven mist swordsmen Zabuza Momochi." I could see Lord Hokage almost be disbelief. "And we ran into 2 more missing Ninja." Everyone that wasn't there leaned in to hear him as I just sighed.
"S-Rank Shinobi's Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki were the people we fought as the second wave of enemy Shinobi hired from the person trying to control wave Gato but he was promptly slaughtered and it was me and Kakashi against Itachi while the kids bought time to defeat Itachi to switch to him." It was silent by the Hokage and Kurenai as we saw there reactions of shock. Though another thing came from Kurenai more like rage.
"You let genin fight against someone with power to rival Lord Hokage Himself!" Kurenai yelled before I stopped her myself and try to make something out of it.
"Um Kurenai-Sensei." She looked at me intently "We manage to hold him and I was the one to suggest them to focus Itachiwhile we battled Kisame I even landed a strike with this." I grabbed a kunai from my pouch as i channel lightning Chakra into Kunai as it was surronded by a blue hue and more electricity snapping in between.
"Yea I actually saw what you did there you managed to stop Kisame from interfering with our battle with Itachi with your Shadow Imitation for 25 Seconds isn't something to snuff at and using Naruto's Shadow Clones to get out of Slashing range and use it to your advantage to stab him is incredible Shikamaru." Everyone again was shocked as then Hokage-Sama sighed and cried about the more Paperwork incoming. Team 8 who looked on at there 6 other classmates who managed to have two Jonin have to focus on him to survive wonder how they even survived.
"How did you guys not die." Kiba wasn't trying to sound rude I could tell but with his shock he couldn't word it any better.
"You do know the Leaf is a village built on teamwork right." I smiled as Asuma-Sensei through a scroll with Zabuza's head inside but forgot his boat was in there.
"Wait can I get that back real quick." Hokage-Sama mused before throwing it back as Asuma-Sensei pour some Chakra and the boat we came to Wave popped up. I snicker while Ino and Choji sweat drop.
"This is the boat we made to get to Wave as the boat trips there would have been to expensive so we had to make a boat with the Ninja Wire Shikamaru brought with him." The Hokage and Kurenai slowly nod.
"From what you've told me Asuma then this has been labeled as a S-Rank mission and the money be shared through all your accounts will be delivered till the Wave pays the updated price of 2 Million Ryo in between you 8.
'2 Million Ryo divided by 8 would be…250,000 Ryo so half of the Sword's payment.' I gasp and cheered. Everyone started at me as I blushed embarrassed at the recent event
"Right so I'm going if there is nothing else see you guys later." Before I was able to sneak away Asuma-Sensei stopped me by my shoulder.
"We aren't doing Missions for a week just to let you know before." I nodded at him and continued on my way. I continue to think and yea we were lucky as hell because at any time Itach and Kisame could have stopped playing around like at the end just made me realize the gap in strength I need to stand on there level.
Making it home it was what 2 weeks since I've been here and i literally almost died like what 3 or more times ugh jeez I should tell my Mom but she would never leave me alone again. I still should.
Opening the door and making my way inside to see my Mother making something as I make my presence known as I yell. "Mom I'm back from my Mission." She looked at me then my clothes.
"Well you should clean your self up now and you can tell me and your Father over dinner." I nod as I head to my room but the front door banged open to show my dad out of breath.
"Shikamaru is it true." I well don't know what he is specifically talking about but word must have gone out on the Mission if Dad heard it. "What is?"
"That you encountered 2 S-Rank Shinobi's and managed to not only capture them with your Shadow for what I heard was 25 Seconds but you managed to land a devastating blow until the man regenerated." I heard my Dad say as he spat out the words and I only did nod.
"Yea it took all my Chakra and concentration and I was left with only a little and I hit him with this." I grabbed my Kunai and covered it with my Lightning Release as it sparkled with blue.
"Lightning Release huh did Kakashi teach you that." I nodded as he started to catch his breath as it slowed.
"Well you're alright and you even helped out a poor Country and saved them from someone Tyranny…I'm proud of you my Son." At that last part he walked up to me and rubbed my head. As I heard my mom run up to me and hug me.
"Well you do define you have some explaining to do about that you do know that right." I let out an exasperated open mouthed smile but then ran into my room and grab all I needed and put my clothes away I run to the shower and lock the door.
"So that's what happened then." I heard my dad say as I just finished the story to them.
"So what did I hear about this Kunoichi you met that people are starting to call you a lady killer you know." I saw my mother visible cringe while looking at me as I looked away embarrassingly and looked away.
"Yup turning a enemy Konoichi into an alley I even heard from Asuma that she gave you a little peck on the lips." My embarrassing blush on my face turned even more apparent as my mother smiled.
"So when are you planning by to introduce this girl to us." I couldn't face them I might explode.
"I don't like Haku that way she's just a friend that I helped." I rubbed the back of my head as my mom smiled.
"So her name is Haku hmm what a beautiful name." I just sigh knowing I would do the damn same thing if I figured my friends did that to a girl I didn't know.
I finished my food and went exploring Konoha as the lasting sundown came to an end I currently sat on the Fourth's Head on the Hokage Monument. I overlook the Village as I saw the lights on in some of the buildings and some closed it looked marvelous this old style town like a Anime was made here heh because it was.
What am I going to do this weak…maybe I should practice Lightning Release : Lightning Bolt and maybe try that one Boruto uses the Lightning Style : Thunderclap Arrow it just overall stronger and bigger. Maybe I should or maybe experiment or no I'll just practice the Jutsu and try to reduce the Chakra needed for it.
1 Week Later…
It had been a week and now we're back to missions yea I have been training but nothing overall out of the ordinary happened until I got the pay for the Mission as I quickly head over to the weapons shop happily. This is going to cover half of it ahh this is going to be good. Though I feel like I'm going to be questioned.
Making it to the familiar place I go inside and see there were three people inside other than TenTen it was Rock Lee, Might Guy and Neji Hyuga. I raised my eyebrow as Tenten looked over to me as waved her hands at me. "Oh hey Shikamaru it's nice to see you it's been a bit hasn't it." I let out a chuckle and agreed with her as the other males in the room turned to me as Gai had a appeasing gaze on me while Lee looked happy as always and Neji looked condescending as always.
"Yea well I wanted to put this money on the Sword." She raised an eyebrow and I gave her the a bag full of money.
"H-How did you get this." I smiled and a drop of sweat overcame me.
"So you are the boy Kakashi and Asuma have been talking to me about hah…Well it's nice to Meet You Formally Shikamaru-Kun I am Maito Guy." He shot me a Thumbs Up and I bumped his fist with a small smile.
"Ah Hello there Shikamaru-Kun, My name is Rock Lee the Leaf's Beautiful Green Beast of the Leaf." His smile let a bit of shine come from them to almost blind me.
"Nice to meet you guys my name is Shikamaru Nara and I'm pretty sure you guys are apart from Tenten's teammates and Sensei." Guy smiled
"And a correct Assumption that is." Guy chuckled as I looked at Neji who just stared. I just tilted my head as he ignored me.
"Hey don't worry about that Neji's just like that with people." I shrug as I turn back to Tenten who now looked strangely.
"Soooo how did you get this money and dare I say…did you rob someone…" I tilt my head at the conclusion but I just told her.
"My first C-Rank mission turned pretty deadly and get leveled up to an S-Rank." Tenten looked at me shocked and I turned my head to see Lee's eyes to shine and Neji's eyebrows to rise. Yup an-….
"Oh Shikamaru-Kun it's fancy seeing you here." I look behind to see Sakura enter the store as I saw a look in Lee's eyes.
"Hey Sakura it's nice seeing you are you all good for training later today." Sakura smiled and nodded excited.
"When I heard you tell me that during the break you were going to train alone that made me really sad." I sweatdropped she doesn't know that she looks extremely cute whe looking to the side and having that blush on her face.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you all here I'm really sorry for being rude you guys must be Tenten's teammates." Lee smiled as he introduced himself quite quickly and noticed how he added "Handsome" to his title. Then Guy and surprisingly even Neji introduced himself the douche didn't do it when I was here.
"Well back to what I was saying we helped a poor country get back on its legs after the dictator tried to kill our client and that dictator sent two S-Rank Missing Nin after him." Sakura did nod recalling the events.
"I was sure that we were going to lose but hey there's always a way even if it seems impossible to overcome and do the impossible and we managed to hold a S-Rank Shinobi for Kakashi and Asuma-Sensei to finish off the others. " I finished as Neji was the one to openly responded.
"Then they must have been fake or your lying." I turn my head to see Neji giving me a look.
"I have heard of you Shikamaru Nara you were the dead last of your year and it's fate that you will always be dead last." Tenten wanted to tell Neji to shut up but wasn't quick enough for Sakura to retort.
"That's wrong! There's nothing predetermined in our lives and even though my teammate was the dead last too his an amazing ninja fate or anything like that doesn't matter." Neji turned sour as he looked at Sakura.
"Yea man only in like a day or two I beat Sasuke who was the Roomie of the Year in my year if you really believe in fate then "Fate" would say you would win the genin that's a year above me and the rookie of the year in his year." He looked skeptical and nodded his head.
"Later today at your training grounds I'll show you what Fate is in my favor." Neji smiled yet I yawned.
"Fate can be in your favor Neji but I know Shikamaru-Kun he won't lose because he won't allow himself to lose. You may have been chosen for this team yes but it's because of what YOUR Actions were in the Academy, YOU choose to be here I don't think anyone forces you, it's because of YOU that these people talk to you like you guys are friends because Friendships are two ways….Even though I'm not from a Ninja Clan I still managed to be the Konoichi of the year because of what I did. Don't underestimate other people's efforts and say it's fate that's it's how it happens because we all are people and we cause ourselves to do things." Neji looked shocked at Sakura and so did everyone else other than me as I smiled at her…the Sakura before and now are nothing alike. I turned to see Neji trying to make sense of what to do and how to retort but couldn't say anything it…it was all true…Neji wasn't blind but he believed in what he said he chose to ignore anything else, HE CHOSE.
I saw Neji look down as he tried processing the info by Sakura and looked at her and saw that fire in her eyes as his eyes widen…he couldn't detect any sort of lie in her voice or even Chakra Signature when he activated his Byakugan suddenly startling everyone. I saw him only stare at Sakura seemingly stuck in her gaze and focusing on her eyes…so it wasn't me who though Sakura's eyes changed in the way the acted and felt. They were normal but they changed and at noticing his staring Neji blushed in embarrassment and did something I didn't suspect and apologized to Sakura and the most shocked were his team as they saw there teammate who seemingly wouldn't change no matter be hit by some sense by this girl but for someone in the room only made them stare at her with more heart into his eyes.
Lee saw this girl and thought she was very beautiful yes and then her way of saying things to his teammate managing to help him when neither of his teammate or Sensei have been able to do grew his affection for the girl in front of him.
Neji who witnessed this girl with no business going into his snaked his life and his entire vision of the world and he could swear the world became….more colorful like he was seeing previously was in only in white, grey and black. This girl…who came from no clan and still was Konoichi of the year would be seen as impossible as multiple Konoichi of her year had multiple more chances of taking that spot but she held that spot from what she said. He felt nothing but truth from her statement and he took a couple seconds to think like how she did for this girl to strongly disagree with fate and taking a clearer look I saw these things I did to change my life….I may be in a clan where people may control me for there own selfish ways…but in the end I craft my own destiny…
"So does that mean you're up for the fight orrr." I cut out his thinking as he looked at me with a different look in his eyes.
"Right we won't fight." I told him as I gave him a smile as Guy-Sensei put a hand on his shoulder and Neji looked up at Guy-Sensei.
"Neji today was your off day so take this time to reflect take as much time as you need Neji and when you're ready you know where to find us." Neji nodded as he looked at everyone one before giving a last look at Sakura who gave him a shining smile and a bit of red overcame his cheeks as he started to rub the red spot as he left.
"Yea well I should get going Tenten and just to tell you it's going to be a long time till I get money like that so it's going to be so long!" I whined uh I was only half way done and these D-Rank mission are literally almost just like pocket Change.
"I'll see you guys later and you too Sakura." I take my leave from the store and Sakura waved goodbye to me with her cheeks going a bit rosy.
In the end how much time do we have left…until the Chunin Exams
3 ½ Months…
…
…
'WHAT A PAIN!'
