TenTen's POV
"I'm TenTen," I said.
Present TenTen: I remember this. This was when I met Neji when we were kids. He tried to stand up for me when Sasori kicked me into the sandbox.
"Nice to meet you TenTen-San! Are you okay being friends with a boy?" Neji asked. I nodded. "Of course I am!" I said and got up from the sandbox. We shook hands and Sasori came back with two puppets in his hand.
Present TenTen: Why can't I see Sasori's face? How come it's blacked out? Oh that's right. I only came here for Neji. Right.
"Hey, Sasori-Kun! You kicked her in the sandbox!" Neji said and stood in front of me. I scoffed. "Leave it to me," I said and pushed Neji aside. I looked at Sasori in the eye and he shook his head. "You look like a girl when you play with your dollies! Wuss!" I yelled at him and stuck my tongue out.
All of a sudden he started crying. "Grandma Chiyo!" Sasori yelled and ran to a woman.
Present TenTen: Her face was blacked out too
"That was amazing TenTen-Chan!" Neji said. I saw a girl behind him one her knees in the sandbox. "I forgot to introduce you to Hinata-Chan! She's my shy cousin," Neji said. Hinata waved. I waved back. "Nice to meet you Hinata! I'm TenTen!" I said. Hinata smiled.
Present TenTen: Hinata's face was blacked out...
"Do you want to come play at our house?" Hinata asked. I nodded. "Sounds like fun!" I said happily.
Present TenTen's POV
I smiled down, looking at when I met Hinata and Neji. They always treated me like family even though I wasn't blood related to them. Hinata would always treat me like her older sister. Neji would sometimes treat me like a guy.
In the background of this scene, I saw a familiar person in the background. It was surrounded by a blue aura. This time I could see the face. His face.
"N-Neji-Kun!" I called out. He glanced at me then disappeared into thin air. "Was that him?" I asked myself and looked at the scene. I walked with the three kids to the large house when they bumped into an adult and a kid with a bowl-shaped hair.
"Watch where your going, Lee-Kun," the adult said. His voice almost sounded too familiar. Gai. "S-Sorry Gai-Sensei," Rock Lee said. "Well if it isn't Rock Lee himself," Neji said we a smirk on his face and his arms crossed. "Neji-Kun! I haven't seen you in a while! Have I really been training that much?" Rock Lee said.
"Who's the girl?" Rock Lee asked pointing to me when I was a kid. "This is TenTen-Chan," Neji said. TenTen waved. "It's nice to meet you, Lee-San!" I said. "Hey you want to check out something cool?" Rock Lee asked. "For the thousandth time, Lee-Kun?" Neji asked. "Come on! TenTen-Chan hasn't seen it yet!" Rock Lee said. "I want to see!" TenTen said laughing.
"Come on then, I'll show you!" Rock Lee grabbed TenTen's wrist and started running. "Hey I'm not as fast as you!" TenTen said laughing. Rock Lee laughed. Neji started running after Rock Lee. But Hinata, and Guy were walking alone. Then I saw the dead Neji. The one with the blue aura around him. I noticed that his back was spattered with blood. His wound from when he fell from the rooftop.
"Lee-Kun never changed. Didn't he, TenTen-Chan?" Neji said and looked at me. My eyes widened. "N-Neji-Kun!" I exclaimed. But again, he disappeared into thin air.
Then they were back in the park. The one where the sandbox was at. Rock Lee was on the monkey bars doing flips and everything. Eventually, he fell and Guy had to catch him. "Even though you fell that was still cool!" TenTen said. Neji stepped forward standing next to TenTen.
"You'll get tired of it eventually," Neji said and smiled at TenTen. She smiled back. TenTen walked on the floor when she found something sharp on the ground. "Guy-San what's this?" TenTen asked Guy holding up the sharp object on the floor. A Kunai Knife. "Oh it's a Kunai Knife TenTen-Chan!" Rock Lee said as TenTen handed it to Rock Lee to look at it.
"I heard one of those ninjas usually use these as weapons! I've always wanted to be one of them," Rock Lee said fantasizing about his ninja dreams. "That's why you train with me Lee-Kun," Guy said and patted his head. "Hey where did Hinata-Chan go?" TenTen asked Neji. "She's with Kiba-Kun and Shino-Kun. Some of her teammates," Neji answered.
"Hey, Neji-Kun! TenTen-Chan! Do you want to train with me and Gai-Sensei?" Rock Lee asked the two of them. "We're always looking for new members," Gai said with one of those smirks on his face. "Sounds awesome! I'm in!" TenTen said. Neji hesitated a bit before nodding. "If TenTen-Chan's in it I am too," Neji said.
Guy put his hand on the bottom and they started to stack their hand son top of it. "Team Youth! One, two, three!" Guy said. "Team Youth!" The three shouted and laughed. Rock Lee, Neji, Guy, and TenTen started walking to another place. It looked almost like a dojo. But it was nothing more than a fighting arena.
"Wow," TenTen said in awe. "Wow is right," Neji said. "Well, here's how your fighting!" Guy said showing a chart where we're going to fight.
Lee vs Neji
??? vs TenTen
"How are we supposed to fight?? We don't know anything!" TenTen complained. "Yes this is for later. First your going to go on a morning run with me. Then after, you fight with fists on test dummies. Next, I throw soft objects at you and you must dodge it. After, you'll fight," Gai said.
"WE'RE ONLY 5!!!!!" Neji and TenTen complained. "Exactly. That's why they're soft objects!" Gai said. Sweat beaded on TenTen's forehead. "Maybe this was a bad idea," TenTen said looking at the ground. Rock Lee put a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry. You'll get used to it," Rock Lee said and put a thumbs up. I sighed and we went outside starting to run with Guy.
