The Dragon Ninja

Chapter 19

             (Sapphire)

Neji took me to train with his teacher and his team. I kept thinking of what I would even say to Naruto and Sasuke after the fit that I put up. Maybe I'd start with something like:

I'm so sorry! *dramatically sob* please take me back onto your team and stop being my parents *drops to knees, offers food as peace offering*

That's what I should have done, but decided that it would be better to just wait it out like rain. They would eventually forget about it and it will be easier for me to apologize.

The team were practicing simple drills and something called Genjutsus. I vaguely remember where I heard that term last, but I don't remember what it did.

"Sapphire!" their teacher called out to me and gestures for me to come over. I stood up and approached the team. "Will you be our test dummy?"

"I'm not doing anything else at the moment," I said slowly and then looked at him in his eyes. "Do I have a choice anyway?"

"Of course not!" he said then gave a hearty laugh. I gave a worried look to Neji, who only smiled slightly in response. I sighed and sat down on the grass.

"All you have to do is stay as still as possible," Neji said as he put his hand on my shoulder. "I'm going to go last because my mine is the most intense."

"What are you doing exactly?" I asked in a cold sweat. I was so afraid of getting hurt that I trembled.

"We are just going to practice genjutsus. There is so need to be afraid," he took my shaking hands and held them tightly. I nodded and he stood up and walked back next to a girl with space buns.

"Rock Lee! You go first!" The boy from before walked up to me and took my hands.

"Don't be scared, lovely! The handsome devil of the Hidden Leaf Village will never hurt a maiden severely," he said heroically, which did make me feel a little better.

"It's not like you could anyway," Neji retorted and I snorted. The dynamic of the team was so amazing, they were all so different.

Rock Lee shot him a glare, stood up, and walked back a few feet away from me. I closed my eyes, but after a while, nothing happened. In a way, I was curious of what was going to happen.

"Why isn't it working Guy-sensei?" Rock Lee whined. I opened my eyes slowly.

"I don't know Lee, you did everything perfectly. Neji, go next. If it doesn't work then our test dummy might actually be immune to genjutsu," he said and Neji nodded. He walked to where Rock Lee was and I shut my eyes tightly. But after another few moments, nothing happened.

"She's immune to genjutsu. Would you look at that," Guy-sensei said as he brought his hand to his face. I didn't know what genjutsu, but I was glad I was immune to it. It might have been because of my lack of chakra.

They practiced many things that I didn't understand and I didn't try to. Neji kept sneaking glances at me to make sure that I was okay, but there were only so many that could've hurt me, like bees and that was pretty much it. I was picking the grass blades and playing around with whatever water I was able to conjure.

"Sapphire," Rock Lee called out to me, "you have a water chakra nature, right?"

"Yes, I can use water chakra if that's what you're asking," I responded. He told me to come over and I did. There was a hole about 6 ft. deep in the ground lined with a form of cement or something.

"Can you fill it with water?" he asked and I nodded confusedly.

I raised both of my arms and concentrated on drawing water. It formed a ball over the four of us.

"Wow," they all marveled. After I finished, it looked like one of the arenas in the Grand Magic Games. I placed it into the hole.

"Woohoo!" Rock Lee yelled as he jumped in.

"What's going on?" I asked as TenTen cheered and jumped in. Neji rolled his eyes. "You're not jumping in?"

"I'm not wearing a swimsuit," he said and crossed his arms. I groaned, grabbed his wrist, and jumped with Neji. "What are you doing?!"

"Come on sad sack!" I yelled as I swam around. "Wanna see something cool?" They all nodded.

I molded the water and turned it into a chair. They "ooh"ed and "ahh"ed. I then raised it high and made myself a crown and wings.

"This is so cool!" Rock Lee said as his eyes turned into hearts.

"Wow, like a goddess," TenTen said. "Can you make me one too?"

"Of course!" I scooped TenTen up and made her a throne and a crown. They all laughed and we played the night away in our self made pool.
