Tenten's Troubles

Chapter 5
When in Doubt, Get Your Ass to the Hokage!

Tenten sprinted toward the Hokage's palace. She was getting closer. 5 feet... 4 feet... 3... 2... 1...

"TENTEN!" Shouted multiple voices. Tenten turned around and saw Shikamaru, Kiba, and Lee.

"THERE SHE IS!" Said Shikamaru.

"DUH! And they call YOU a genius..." Said Kiba, rolling his eyes.

"GRANDMA!" Shouted a voice, everyone turned around and saw Neji.

"Neji? Why did you shout grandma?" Asked Shikamaru. Lee, Tenten, and Kiba were thinking the same thing.

"GRANDMA!" Shouted Neji again.

"...Maybe Hinata killed too many brain cells..." Murmured Tenten. Lee, Shikamaru, and Kiba looked at Tenten, after hearing her.

"Really?" Said Kiba, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey Neji! What's Two plus Two?" Asked Shikamaru. Neji started thinking for a moment; he then started counting on his fingers. He then took off his sandals and started counting on his toes too.

"..." Tenten, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Lee were speechless. Hyuuga Neji had to count on his TOES to figure out what Two plus two was.

"IT'S TWENTY!" Neji concluded, with a proud smile on his face.

"...At least he can count right..." Muttered Shikamaru, satisfied with the fact Neji knew how many toes and fingers he had.

"Or is it 79..." Said Neji, stroking his chin.

"...Or not." Said Tenten.

"Neji put your hand on your chest real quick." Said Kiba, Neji put his hand on his shoulder.

"...Close enough; now try to bite your ear." Said Kiba. Neji tried to do so, which caused Kiba to laugh at the incredibly stupid Neji trying to bite his ear.

"...I don't have time for this..." Said Tenten, running into the palace, the laughs of Shikamaru, Kiba and Lee trailing off.

Tenten ran up the stairs and made it to the Hokage's office, she ran in. The alarming noise of the doors slamming woke up the sleeping Hokage.

"Huh? Wha? What's going on?" Asked Tsunade, rubbing her eyes.

"TSUNADE SAMA! I NEED YOUR HELP!" Shouted Tenten. Tsunade was confused.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I'm Tenten..." Sighed Tenten, annoyed.

"Oh... your hair's down." Observed Tsunade. "How can I help you?"

"I NEED HAIR TIES! I CAN'T FIND ANY AT MY HOUSE, NOBODY I KNOW HAS ANY, AND THE SHOPS ARE CLOSED!" Said Tenten, Tsunade cut her off.

"I know! I was going to buy this bead necklace!" Said Tsunade. "But apparently, it's a shopkeeper holiday. Who would've known?"

"WHO CARES? Anyways, I need to borrow your hair ties." Said Tenten.

"Why?" Asked Tsunade, raising an eyebrow. "So your hair's down for one day, what's the big deal?"

"It's a VERY big deal. Shino, Kiba, and Shikamaru are chasing me, Neji stroked my hair, Hinata's being scary, Naruto put his hand on my shoulder, Sasuke whispered in my ear, and Lee, for some unknown reason, can use chakra, AND I WISH REDLOTUSNIN WOULD JUST DIE!"

RLN: HEY!

"So? Everybody (Excluding her fans) wants RLN to die..." Said Tsunade.

RLN: HEY!

"And this stuff isn't so bad..." Added Tsunade, ignoring the furious author.

"How?" Huffed Tenten.

"Well... who cares if you end up with these guys?" Tenten's jaw dropped. Everyone was against her today...

"I mean... Kiba and Lee, no... But Shikamaru... with his intelligence, he could become very rich, if you ended up with him, you'd inherit his fortune after his death, and with the shape he's in, he'll definitely die before you..." Said Tsunade.

They hated her.

"And Naruto... well... stay away from him... I think he and that little Hyuuga girl are just so cute together!" Chirped Tsunade.

The Hokage was a LUNATIC.

"I can see why you don't like Shino, with the bugs and all but... his voice is so damn sexy and he's SO mysterious... and... well... Sasuke and Neji ARE the prodigies and ARE geniuses..."

Not anymore... Thought Tenten, remembering Neji's proud smile when he misadded Two plus Two.

"But Sasuke... I don't know... you might want to play it safe with Sasuke, with reviving the clan and all..."

Tenten's face became disgusted.

"But you and Neji could have such cute children together!"

Oh yeah, Main House hating weapon throwing babies, sounds adorable to me... Thought Tenten sarcastically.

"LOOK! I JUST WANT THE DAMN HAIR TIES! I DON'T WANT DEAD SHIKAMARU'S FORTUNE, SEXY VOICED SHINO, PERVERTED SASUKE, OR CUTE MAIN HOUSE HATING WEAPON THROWING FANGED BABIES THAT LOOK LIKE CLONES OF HYUUGA ELDERS WITH TROUBLED CHILDHOODS! I JUST WANT SOME DAMN HAIR TIES!" Screamed Tenten, slamming her hands on the desk.

"I can't give them to you." Said Tsunade flatly. Tenten fell over anime style.

"Why not?" Asked her muffled voice from the floor.

"Because as a medic Nin, sharing hair ties can cause diseases..." Said Tsunade, with her index finger in the air. Tenten stood up.

"WHO CARES ABOUT DISEASES? SOMEBODY IS PROBALY GOING TO RAPE ME!" Shrieked Tenten. Tsunade stroked her chin.

"I wonder..."

Tenten was on the edge of her seat (And she wasn't even sitting on one! That's what makes it so dramatic!) Waiting for Tsunade's startling statement.

"I wonder who would make it to you first..." Said Tsunade, causing Tenten to fall over again.

"I mean Neji's byakugan could find you, but maybe Kiba's smelling could help you though. No... You could beat Kiba in a fair match. Maybe Sasuke, I mean, with the fact of reviving his clan scratched in the back of his mind..."

"I'm sorry I even came..." Muttered Tenten, crawling out of the room.

"Well if you ever want to vis-"

Tenten slammed the door behind her.

Later-

It was hopeless. She would have to run away, change her image, and then switch names. She would become a missing Nin, but it wouldn't matter, she was one of the toughest kunoichi in the village so the female Nins wouldn't be tough to beat... as for the ninjas... they'd die because of her "beauty". Tenten started thinking about a new name. A last name would be nice; yes... as for first name... 1010 would have to do. She was so preoccupied, she slammed into a house.

"Ow..." She murmured, after she fell on her butt.

"What the hell?" Said a voice. Tenten looked up and saw Temari looking at her confused.

"Why the hell did you just run into our house? And who are you?" Asked Temari.

"I'm Tenten! And don't yell at me! I'm depressed T... Tem..." Tenten started. She then started snapping her fingers. She should know this one. She lost to her in the chuunin exams.

"Temari." Temari said bluntly.

"Oh, that's right." Said Tenten. But then Tenten noticed something. She gasped.

"TEMARI! YOU HAVE HAIR TIES!" She screamed. Temari raised an eyebrow.

"You Konoha Kunoichi are slower then I thought..." She murmured. "And they say I'm a dumb blond..."

"YOU HAVE TO KET ME BORROW THEM!" Tenten screamed. Temari crossed her arms.

"Now wait just a second! What makes you think I'll do that?" She yelled.

"All the guys are falling in love with me! But if I put my hair up, I'll be fine!" Said Tenten.

"That's the lamest thing I ever heard! You think I'm going to pity you?" Snapped Temari. Tenten thought for a moment.

"Well... okay... I guess I can't force you..." Sighed Tenten.

"Exactly!" Said Temari, turning around, arms crossed.

"I guess Tsunade Sama was right... I'm probably going to end up with one of these guys anyways..." Said Tenten.

"Yep!" Said Temari.

"I guess I'll just go with Shikamaru. Being rich couldn't be SO bad..." Said Tenten shrugging. She fought back a smirk when she saw Temari freeze in her spot.

"So... err... Tenten was it?" Said Temari, turning her head.

"Yeah?"

5 Minutes Later-

"OUT OF MY WAY!" Screamed Sasuke. Kiba pushed him; Sasuke fell on the floor while Shino, Kiba, Lee, and Shikamaru trampled over him. Neji skipped past him.

"Hey! I smell her!" Said Kiba, looking at Temari's house. The door opened and Tenten came out. The boys' jaws dropped when they saw Tenten with her hair up again.

"Hey guys!" She said happily.

Silence.

"Who's she?" Asked Neji, causing everybody to stare at him.

"That's Tenten..." Said Lee.

"...Ten... of what?" Asked Neji.

Stare.

Chirp Chirp.

"O...kay..." Said Tenten. She started leaving but a voice called her name.

"Hey Tenten! I don't need these." Everybody turned around and saw Temari with her hair down, and her last two hair ties in her hands. (RLN: Temari has FOUR ponytails, she gave Tenten two, but she doesn't need the other two)

"I won't need these." Said Temari, giving Tenten the hair ties.

"Okay, thanks!" Said Tenten.

CLANK!

Temari and Tenten turned around. Tenten groaned.

"What's with them?" Asked Temari, looking at the boys who had their jaws dropped to the ground, gaping at the long haired Temari.

Two Weeks Later-

Tenten was glad that everything was back to normal... well... almost. Neji's IQ was back, but the only thing he couldn't do was add two plus two.

"TWO PLUS TWO IS FOUR!" Screamed Lee, slamming his head repeatedly on a store window.

"That's what I said!" Screamed Neji.

"YOU SAID 40 THOUSAND!" Screamed Lee.

"WELL I MEANT FORTY!"

"IT'S FOUR!" Screamed Lee.

"Lee, you better stop, you're going to break that window." Tenten pointed out. Lee did as told, suddenly, Lee gasped.

"What's wrong?" Neji and Tenten asked, walking over.

"Oh my..." Murmured Neji. In the window, on display, was a book. On the cover was a picture of a beautiful girl with long, dark brown hair while boys were drooling over her in the background. Tenten gulped.
