1 Month Later - 3rd Person's POV

"TATSU!" A brown haired girl yells as she jumps on her sleeping, white haired friend who's on her side, unsuspecting of the bearing weight being crashed down upon her. The white haired female groans and rolls onto her back and her eyes flutter open to look at her brown haired friend.

Tatsuyu's POV

"What do you want?" I ask her.

"Happy Birthday!" TenTen exclaims with a grin and I roll onto my stomach and groan into my pillow.

"Go away." I mutter and she drags me out of my bed.

"I know you don't like celebrating your birthday, but I made breakfast!" TenTen exclaims and I sigh.

This past month has been nothing my training and D-Rank to C-Rank missions, I'm a little frustrated, I just want to relax.

I let TenTen lead me into the kitchen by my wrist as I yawn and rub my eyes. I sit at the counter and TenTen sets my plate in front of me as she sits next to me with her plate. "Thanks for the food." I mumble still half asleep.

I eat and once I finish I walk to my bedroom and I lay on my bed and under the covers again.

"Oh come on, don't you want to go somewhere for your birthday?" TenTen asks me.

"No." I say and she rolls her eyes.

"Well we meet up with Lee, Neji and Guy-Sensei in an hour, get ready." TenTen says to me and I roll off my bed and I get up and change into my dark blue kimono short sleeve shirt, held together by bandages, with my fishnet short sleeve on underneath, my black leggings and my dark blue ninja sandals. I put on my ninja pouches and I leave with TenTen.

"Today is gonna be long." I mutter and TenTen smiles at me. I look at her. "Your planning something, aren't you?" I ask her and she looks away with a mischievous grin.

"No, not at all." TenTen says and after a couple minutes we get to the balcony and we see Neji waiting there and I sit down in my normal spot and TenTen sits next to me.

Guy-Sensei and Lee get here a few minutes later.

"Alright, today-" Guy-Sensei is cut off by TenTen.

"Is Tatsu's Birthday!" TenTen announces.

I raise an eyebrow as I sit there with my legs crossed.

"Really?" The other three ask shocked.

I roll my eyes. "If your just gonna try and get me to celebrate, then good luck, you'll need it." I say and TenTen grins at me. "Buh bye." I say and I jump off the back of the balcony, backwards and I walk down the streets and I head to my training grounds in the forest and I put on my black fingerless plated gloves and I work on my Tai-Jutsu.

"Tatsuyu!" Someone yells and crashes into me and I fall on my side.

"Ow!" I say annoyed as I sit up and I look over at the person. "Shizune, what are you doing here?" I ask her.

"Well, Lady Tsunade want me to run a few things here to the Leaf Village since she needed to do a few things in another village, of course, I was against it at first, but then she ordered me to come here and I did." Shizune says and we hug each other.

"It's been so long since I've seen you!" I exclaim and Shizune nods in agreement.

"Well, Lady Tsunade told me to give you this if I saw you." Shizune says handing me a small box, I open it and I smile amused.

"How does she get the money for this when all she does is gamble with bad luck?" I ask and Shizune laughs as I pull out a necklace with the Senju Crest on it and Shizune puts it on for me.

"Well Happy Birthday." Shizune says to me with a smile as she gets up and I get up.

"Where you heading next?" I ask her.

"The Hokage office, Lady Tsunade has a letter for Lord Hokage." Shizune says to me and I nod.

"I might as well come with you. My team is gonna go crazy trying to plan out my birthday for me, though I'd rather either train or do missions." I say to Shizune and she nods and I walk with her to the Hokage office and I knock.

"Come in."

We walk in and Lord Hokage looks at us.

"Lord Hokage." Shizune says to him as she hands him a letter. "Its from Lady Tsunade." Shizune says to him.

"I see." Lord Hokage says and looks at me. "Tatsuyu, why are you here?" Lord Hokage asks me.

"I have nothing better to do, and I'm hiding from TenTen." I say to him and he nods and dismisses me. I walk around the village for a while until someone bumps into me, spilling their drink all over me.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." The person says to me.

"It's fine, I wasn't watching where I was going, this totally my fault." I say to her.

"No, no, no, its my fault, I accidentally tripped on a stone and I was trying not to fall but I bumped into you and, oh man, my day has been awful." She says to me and I smile slightly as she panics.

"I'm telling you, its fine, we all have bad days." I say to her and she sighs as she gets worked up. "Its alright, take a few deep breaths." I say as I pull out a unopened water bottle as she takes a few deep breaths and I hand her the water. "Take a drink and calm down, everything is ok." I say to her and she takes a drink and calms down a bit. "You ok now?" I ask her.

"Yeah, I'm ok, hopefully, I'm really sorry about your clothes." The girl says to me.

I smile at her. "Its fine, they're just some clothes, I can always wash them, its no big deal." I say to her and she smiles nervously.

"Still, I should watch where my feet are going." She says to me and I smile at her.

"Its fine, I was heading home anyways so I can take the rest of the day off and hide from my friends for my own reason." I say and she smiles nervously. "If your ok now, I'll be going." I say and she nods.

"I'm fine." She says and I nod and I head back to my apartment and I walk in and to my bedroom. I change into a dark blue long sleeve sweater and a new pair of black leggings and I sit in my bedroom on my bed, reading, when someone barges into my apartment and I hide under my bed with my katana.

"TATSU! I KNOW YOUR HERE!" Lee yells and I sweat drop and I stay where I'm at and he looks around and then leaves, staying out of my room. I sit on my bed again and I continue reading under my covers, nice and warm and comfortable.

I ignore the noise in the apartment building and finally it starts to annoy me and I put my ninja sandals on and I grab my book and I leave the building and I walk into the forest, I sit in a clearing near a pond and I continue reading.

"Tatsuyu?"

I get up and I look behind me to see Neji and I raise an eyebrow. "You want something?" I ask him.

"Nothing, though you should know TenTen, Lee and Guy-Sensei are going crazy trying to find you so they can make you celebrate your birthday." Neji says and I roll my eyes.

"Well I'm not going to let them find me. I'd much rather relax after this month." I say and he nods in agreement, I sit back down under a tree and I continue reading while Neji works on his Gentle fist attacks.

About 10 Hours Later

I walk through town and I stop by at two places, the Sandwich Shop to get my regular and the Pie Shop and I get myself a slice of Apple Pie. I walk back to my apartment to see TenTen sleeping on the couch and I cover her with a blanket and I sit in the kitchen eating. After I finish eating I head to my room and I fall asleep.

5 Months Later

I sit on the stump in Training Ground 9 with 3 apples stacked on my head.

"Why am I doing this?" I ask as Neji, Lee and Guy-Sensei watch TenTen and I.

"Because your the only one who can balance 3 apples on your head passively." TenTen says to me and I sigh. TenTen pulls out three kunai and throws them, hitting each apple in the center, knocking them off my head, while as I have an impassive face on.

"Awesome!" Lee cheers and I get off the stump.

"Ok guys, I'm evaluating your skills today to see what you have learned this past year of training with me!" Guy-Sensei announces. "It'll be one on one battles against each other, last one standing has to fight me!" Guy-Sensei says with a smirk and I sweat drop.

"Are you insane?" I ask him and he laughs.

"The first match will be TenTen fighting Tatsuyu!" Guy announces and TenTen laughs nervously.

Me and TenTen end up standing across from each other and I feel something watching us and I pull out a kunai, throwing it into the tree and a ball falls out of it with a camera in it.

"How did you?" Neji asks shocked.

"7th sense." I say and Guy-Sensei grins at me.

"Now start!" Guy-Sensei exclaims with a grin and I get hit by the kunai and I turn into a log.

"Substitution Jutsu." TenTen mutters as she watches around her.

"Is this an anything goes battle with minimal injury?" I ask.

"Why yes it is!" Guy-Sensei announces.

I nod and I do a few hand signs. "Water Style: Water Wall Formation." I mutter and a water wall comes up around me, blocking the weapons coming for me. I do a hand sign. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu." I mutter and about 20 of me surround TenTen.

"She's using plain Nin-Jutsu!" Lee says shocked.

"She's the Nin-Jutsu User of our team and the only born Water Style User in the Leaf after the Second Hokage." Neji says to him.

TenTen takes out my clones but Water Clones take their place, distracting her enough so I can land a hit from underneath, uppercutting her in the chin and sending her back and unconscious.

"Wow." Neji says a little shocked.

"And Tatsuyu is the winner!" Guy announces.

I walk over to TenTen as she stirs and I hold my hand out for her. "Sorry if that was a little harsh." I say as I scratch the back of my neck with my other hand.

TenTen takes my hand and I help her up. "It wasn't too harsh, but it was a little over kill with the clones." TenTen says to me and I shrug.

"Alright, next up is Lee fighting Neji!" Guy announces and I sit on the stump, watching them and Lee loses to Neji.

"That was fast." I say and TenTen nods in agreement.

"Alright, now the two prodigies fight! Tatsuyu Versus Neji!" Guy announces and I get down from my spot and Neji smirks at me as we stand across from each other.

"Your gonna lose to me, it is your destiny." Neji says and I raise an eyebrow.

"Destiny is crap, I don't believe in it, I make my own way." I say to him as an impassive look comes onto my face.

"NOW START!" Guy and Lee yell.

Neji's Byakugan activates and I dodge his attacks while doing hand signs.

"Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu!" I hit him with a water bullet, but he uses his Rotation and the water doesn't affect him.

"Nice try." Neji says to me with a smirk.

I just shrug. "I wasn't really trying with that Jutsu, I was just testing the waters." I say and one of my water clones appear behind him and he takes it out and I kick him in the chin and he stumbles back. "Water Style and Lightning Style: Lightning Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu." I make a water dragon with blue lightning appear and it attacks Neji, who uses his rotation and dispels my Jutsu and I tch at that. "The same trick?" I ask and Neji smirks at me.

"What? You starting to get fed up with my rotation?" Neji asks me.

"A little, I know your blind spot, I'm choosing not to hit you there to be fair." I say to him.

Neji smirks. "Then how are you going to beat me then?" Neji asks me.

I pull out a copy of Kakashi's Icha Icha Paradise Book and Guy-Sensei pales slightly. "Guy-Sensei, cover Lee's ears, Lee cover TenTen's ears, TenTen, cover Guy-Sensei's ears." I say and they do as I say and I open the book while Neji looks at me slightly disgusted. "This stuff doesn't bother me since well, who knows, it just doesn't." I say and I start reading a chapter out loud and slowly, bit by bit, Neji's face starts to turn red as I read and he passes out from a nose bleed and I snap the book shut with a smirk. Lee, Guy-Sensei and TenTen free themselves once they see Neji drop.

"How are you able to read that with a straight face?" Guy-Sensei asks shocked.

I shrug. "I dunno, I just can." I say and Neji wakes up and glares at me while I just smile in return.

"That book, needs burned." Neji says to me.

"I took this from Kakashi for this specific reason, I'm going to return his book back to him in perfect condition." I say as I put the book in my pouch.

"Alright! Now Tatsuyu fights me!" Guy announces as he jumps across from me.

I sigh. "This'll be a little hard." I say and Guy-Sensei smirks.

"Now start!" Lee says with a nice guy pose.

I block Guy-Sensei's Tai-Jutsu as best as possible while dodging everything else.

I frown slightly as I think and then, the most obvious tactic comes into my head and I smirk slightly and I duck Guy-Sensei's kick. "Hey, Guy-Sensei, there's Kakashi holding a Youth Sign." I say pointing behind him.

"WHAT?" Guy-Sensei says and look and I kick him in the side, sending him into the tree near us. "That was good, you pass." Guy-Sensei says to me.

"WHAT?" TenTen, Lee and Neji yell shocked.

"You get a pass from training today." Guy-Sensei says to me with a grin and I nod in thanks.

"Alright, see ya." I say as I grab my katana and I walk into the village and I find Kakashi on the roof of the academy with 3 rookie Genin and I jump up next to him and he looks at me. "Just returning your book." I say as I hold out his Icha Icha Paradise Book.

"So that's where it went." Kakashi says as he takes it. "What'd you do with it?" Kakashi asks me.

"Ehhh." I say as I look away. "Well, Guy-Sensei decided to evaluate us today and it was one v one battles, I fought Neji in my second round and well, I had everyone but him cover their ears and read a chapter aloud, he passed out from a nose bleed and I won." I say and Kakashi pales slightly at that.

"You read this book aloud and your saying it with a impassive face, that's something nobody can do." Kakashi says to me and I shrug.

"Um, Sensei, who's this?" A pink haired girl asks and I see Naruto and the Uchiha kid.

I tilt my head to the side. "You got this years misfits." I say and Kakashi nods.

"This is Tatsuyu Senju, the Great Granddaughter of the Second Hokage and the Great Grandniece of the First Hokage." Kakashi introduces me and I nod.

"Senju?" Uchiha asks and I nod.

"Alright, I get the rest of the day off from training, so I'm going home and preparing myself for TenTen who's gonna come home a little mad that I got a free pass from training today." I say and Kakashi raises an eyebrow. "At the end of the evaluation, which ever Genin was left standing, was to fight Guy-Sensei, I beat him with an obvious trick, saying, Hey Guy-Sensei, there's Kakashi holding a sign saying youth, he of course looked and I kick him into the tree." I say and he sweat drops.

"Why me though?" Kakashi asks.

"Your the only one who Guy-Sensei would be distracted by in the middle of a fight against a Genin." I say and Kakashi nods.

"Yeah, I should have figured." Kakashi says and I look at the rookies.

"Well rookies, see ya around." I say and I fall backwards off the side of the academy and I land on my feet and I walk to my apartment. I shower and change into my pajama's and I lay on the couch in the living room, watching TV.

After a couple hours TenTen walks into the apartment and I point to the kitchen.

"Food is in the kitchen." I say and she walks to the kitchen.

I fall asleep on the couch after turning the TV off.
