Present TenTen's POV

It was morning. Team Guy was out on a morning walk. I easily caught up with them, but only for now. Guy was going easy on them since they were young but soon enough Lee would complain how slow they were going.

"Guy-Sensei! This isn't training if we aren't going twice the speed!" Rock Lee complained. "Oh no," TenTen muttered. "Oh no indeed," Neji agreed. "Well, Lee-Kun, might as well go three times the speed!" Guy said then Rock Lee and him started running faster.

"Idiots!" Neji murmured. "Grow up already!" I yelled. Before Rock Lee could say he wanted to go FOUR TIMES, they stopped in there tracks in front of three people their age and a familiar white-haired man. Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke.

"Nice running into you again, Kakashi-Kun," Guy said and shook hands with Kakashi. "Oh. Your students have grown a lot since I last saw them. They were only five," Kakashisaid. Rock Lee just stood there squealing. "Um, is there something wrong wit him?" Sakura asked.

"OH MY GOD!!!! IT'S THE SAKURA HARUNO!!! YOUR MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON!!!! I'M ROCK LEE I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAAAANNN!!!!"

Neji and I just stood there, silent. "Hey back of, Lee-Kun!" Naruto yelled. "What are you going to do about it, Ramen-Face?!" Rock Lee yelled. Then the two started arguing and arguing. "Great. Two annoying people," TenTen complained. Sakura couldn't help but laugh. "Tell me about it," Sakura said, giggling.

"Hey is that, Hinata-Chan? Hinata-Chan! Hey your hair grew!" Naruto said and stopped arguing with Rock Lee and talked to Neji. He quickly face palmed himself. "Why does everyone think I'm a woman..," Neji muttered. "What? Hinata-Chan why do you sound like a man? Oh wait, sorry, Neji-Kun," Naruto said. Everyone started laughing. Even I did.

I even heard Neji's soul laughing somewhere. "Naruto-Kun still mistakes me as a woman, doesn't he, TenTen-Chan?" Neji asked. I turned to look at him. He was smiling. "Neji-Kun!" I exclaimed and grabbed his hand. It felt the same but that blood stain was still on his back. Tears fell out of my eyes. "I'll see you later, TenTen-Chan," Neji said and disappeared again.

I turned to look at the kid version of me and see what was going on. "Your Sasuke-Kun? I heard you were a prodigy that's amazing!" TenTen exclaimed. "It's no big deal," Sasuke said crossing his arms. "Hey maybe we should spar some time! You know, test each other's strength," Sakura suggested.

The arguments of Rock Lee and Naruto grew louder. "Well, I think that Lee-Kun and Naruto-Kun are fighting already," Neji said and TenTen giggled. "We should, though. You know, I gave Neji-Kun here a good beat down," TenTen said, crossing her arms. Neji looked the other direction.

"You know, you and I are going to be good friends," Sakura said, smiling. "Also I want you to meet someone else after this. Her names Ino-Chan," Sakura said. "Ino?? You mean the Ms. Beauty of Konoha! Her family owns the flower shop?" TenTen asked. Sakura scoffed. "As if! But your right about the flower shop part. She's someone else besides Ms. Beauty. Talk about Bossy," Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Talk about Sakura-Chan," I heard Sasuke murmur. "Oi! I wanna give Lee-San here a GOOD BEATDOWN IN COMBAT!!" Naruto said cracking his knuckles having the same determination face. "I'm going to become a Chunin before you!" Rock Lee yelled at Naruto. "Well I'm going to be Hokage!" Naruto yelled.

Then the arguing and arguing continued until Sakura punched Naruto and I punched Rock Lee. "Get a grip!" We both yelled at the same time. "They're going to grow up to be like Lady Tsunade one day," Guy said. "Sakura has trained with Lady Tsunade before," Kakashi said.

"If your so excited to spar, why don't you? Because clearly your already getting rowdy here, why not doing it somewhere else?" Guy asked. "YES!!" All of them yelled but Sasuke and Neji. "Well clearly we know who's going to fight who," Kakashi said as all of us walked to a different training center. Cards were being set up. And it was clear who was fighting who.

Naruto vs Rock Lee

Sakura vs TenTen

Sasuke vs Neji

"Seems straightforward," TenTen said. "Finally! Something else besides getting bells from Kakashi-Sensei!" Sakura said pumping her fist in the air. TenTen sat on the bench with Neji on the right side and Sakura sat with Sasuke on the right side.

"Naruto-Kun's going to loose," TenTen whispered to Neji. "Yeah but Lee-Kun can't even use ninjutsu," Neji whispered back. "Okay. You know the rules. No trash talk on the field, and whoever is pinned down to the ground first is the winner," Kakashi explained the rules.

"Huh, Guy-Sensei never told us the rules," TenTen told Neji. "I knew the rules already," Neji said sitting in silence and watched intently at the fight. Naruto and Rock Lee were in their stance when the bell rang. "Go Naruto-Kun!" Sakura yelled. "Go Lee-Kun! Remember all the taijutsu I've taught you!" Guy cheered and continued cheering. Though it was quite annoying.

"START!!!" Kakashi yelled and the fight soon began with the two charging at each other instead of one person malign the first move.
