Tatsuyu's POV

Next is the battle between Sasuke and Gaara, but, Sasuke isn't here yet and I lean on the railing as we wait.

"I wonder where Sasuke is, then again, I haven't heard jack squat about Kakashi either." I say and Shikamaru nods in agreement and Naruto joins us. "I'm gonna go talk to Neji, someone come get me if I'm not here by my match." I say and Naruto grins at me.

"ALRIGHT!" Naruto yells with a grin and I plug my ears as I walk out of the room.

I go down to the infirmary and I see Hiashi walking out of Neji's room and I tense.

"Calm down." Hiashi says to me.

I blink and relax my stand slightly. "Why were you in Neji's room?" I ask him.

"An apology was long over due and I wanted to tell him the truth of what happened." Hiashi says as he hangs his head slightly.

I raise an eyebrow and I step to the side. "You should apologize to Hinata too, I've visited her multiple times while she was recovering this past month and I learned about how you've basically disowned her since you claim she isn't strong enough to lead the Hyuga one day." I say to him and he sighs.

"I will." Hiashi says and leaves.

I walk into Neji's room and he looks up at me. "Oh great, let me guess, your gonna hold this over my head that I got beat by a rookie, aren't you?" Neji asks me.

"No." I say simply and he looks at me unamused. "So, after getting beat by a rookie whom you called a loser, are you gonna stop talking about all this destiny crap you spew on the daily? Or am I going to constantly have to ignore you?" I ask him in a calm tone and he stares at me, probably trying to find something.

"Sorry." Neji mutters and I look at him confused.

"What do you have to apologize for?" I ask him.

"I know you can barely stand me talking about destiny, I'm apologizing for always talking to you like you were below me." Neji says to me and I smile amused and he looks at me confused.

"I don't need an apology, Hinata needs an apology from you." I say and Neji nods.

"The Senju, they were a large clan once, what happened to them?" Neji asks me as I turn to leave and my hand gets caught in mid air.

"We were wiped out in the second and third Shinobi war, and whoever survived like me and Lady Tsunade, hid themselves, changed their names and are leading normal lives, neither me nor Lady Tsunade know where any survivors are, or, even if there are survivors, my clan dispersed since no one could lead it and keep it together as well as my Great Grandfather Tobirama or my Great Uncle Hashirama." I say and Neji nods.

"I see." Neji says to me and I look at him with a smile, clearly shocking him.

"Well, my fight is coming up soon, its against this stone ninja, this should be fun, a Water Style User against an Earth Style User, I'm at disadvantage." I say Neji gets up and I walk out the door and I go back to the booth where Shino and Naruto are and I see Shikamaru fighting the blonde girl from the Sand. "I wanted to fight her as revenge for what she did to TenTen." I say with a frown and Naruto laughs as I lean on the railing.

"Your fight is after this." Naruto says to me with a grin and I nod and watch as Shikamaru forfeits when he had her and I hang my head.

"Damn that lazy ass kid." I say and Naruto gets mad and goes down there to Shikamaru and scolds him, sort of.

My fight gets announced and I jump down as a Stone Ninja teleports down there.

A large amount of the crowd boo's me, clearly wanting to watch Sasuke and the Red Head's fight.

"Geez, it's my fight and their booing one of the last Senju, great." I say as I cross my arms over my chest as I watch the Stone Ninja.

"You guys know the rules, so, you guys can start whenever." Genma says as he moves back.

The Stone Ninja attacks me with his fist and I duck and I grab his leg, throwing him into the tree.

"Starting off with Tai-Jutsu? One of my strong points?" I ask him and he scowls at me.

"Well, I could use my earth style attacks, but then the fight would be over too quickly." He says to me.

"Try your best, I'm a Senju, I'm not going down that easy." I say with a smirk.

"If you say so." He says and does some hand signs. "Mud Style: Mud Wave." He says and I dodge his Earth attacks with ease.

I do some hand signs as I dodge and I put my hand on the ground. "Water Style: Water Formation Wall." I say and a water wall appears below him and shoots him in the air. I jump and land on my feet and I do a few more hands signs. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu." I say and three water dragons come out from the water wall and attack the Stone Ninja, but he dodges.

He sinks into the ground and then I jump back a couple paces, dodging his earth attacks, and I'm doing it all, with a calm face.

"How is she not mad?" The Stone Ninja mutters.

"I'm just calm, this is a fight, I'd rather not do any rash moves." I say to him.

I continue to dodge his attacks, all around the arena while everyone in the crowd is confused, but I know what I'm doing.

After about 10 minute the guy slows down a lot and I punch him into the wall, knocking him out.

"Jeez, could he have more chakra?" I ask and Genma announces me as the winner and I head upstairs and I walk to the booth.

"I'm so confused on what just happened." Naruto admits.

"She was making her enemy drain their chakra by using a lot of Nin-Jutsu, since she doesn't have a Chakra Draining Technique, she was manipulating the target to drain their own chakra trying to catch her." Shino says to him and Naruto nods, still not getting it.

"Basically, I was dodging his Nin-Jutsu, making his chakra deplete with each attack, once he slowed down, I took the chance to knock him out." I say to Naruto and he nods.

We wait for ten minutes and then Sasuke gets here with Kakashi.

"I'm gonna go sit in the stands." I say and Shino nods while Naruto goes down to meet Sasuke.

I walk into the stands and I find Kakashi, Guy-Sensei and Lee.

"Ah, Tatsuyu-Chan." Lee greets me and I smile.

"How'd your match go?" Guy-Sensei asks me.

"I won." I say holding up a victory sign.

"You were fighting an earth style user, right?" Sakura asks and I nod. "You were at a disadvantage with your Water Style then." Sakura says and I nod.

"WHAT?" Guy-Sensei yells shocked as he gawks and I scratch the back of my neck nervously.

"What? I trained all month long, even though I didn't use any of my new Nin-Jutsu." I say and now everyone who knows me and is in this area, stares at me shocked. "Lets just watch Uchiha's fight." I say and they compose themselves and we watch the fight.

We watch Sasuke use Chidori and Guy-Sensei stares at Kakashi shocked and I smile amused.

"Well, seems we know which student Kakashi favors and which student Guy-Sensei favors." I say to Sakura and she nods in agreement.

We hear the Red Head release a scream, saying something about it being his blood.

"Oh no." I say and everyone looks at me. "The Red Head is the Jinchuriki of the One Tailed Beast Shukaku, the Sand Spirit, and Shukaku, makes his medium go insane, so when the red head discovered he has blood, since he's never seen it before, he release a scream, the Sand Spirit won't let him get injured on a daily basis like we do." I say and a sleeping Gen-Jutsu gets cast on everyone.

Me, Kakashi, Guy-Sensei and Sakura release it from around us and then, Sand and Sound Ninja start attacking us.

Kakashi has Sakura, wake Naruto and Shikamaru up and leave with his summon Pakkun while me and Guy-Sensei fight these guys.

I use my Wind Style to create a barrier over the people while I use my water style to wipe out a lot of the attackers.

"Wow, a combination attack." Kakashi says shocked.

Guy-Sensei grins proudly. "She's the only one of us capable of using Nin-Jutsu like this, in my team." Guy-Sensei says to Kakashi.

After a while of fighting we get rid of the attackers who were in the stadiums.

"That was a lot of work." I say and Kakashi nods in agreement and we see Orochimaru retreating and we head to the building where Lord Hokage was and we see him, dead, on the ground.

A Couple Hours Later

I sit on the stone face of Lord Hokage, over looking the village, I pull my legs closer, hugging them to me as a sad look appears in my eyes.

"Tatsu."

I look over to see TenTen and I look forward again. "Hi TenTen." I say quietly as she sits next to me.

"So, Lord Hokage is dead." TenTen says quietly as I flinch at the words.

"Uh huh." I say quietly and TenTen looks at me.

"Are you ok?" TenTen asks me.

"I'm fine, its just hard to lose someone who practically raised you when you were a kid." I say to her and TenTen frowns as I get up. "Come on, lets go home, we both desperately need showers, you more so, you smell like mud." I say and TenTen rolls her eyes as I hold out my hand for her to take.

"Fine, though you shouldn't bottle your emotions or you'll be like Neji." TenTen says to me as I help her up.

"Uh huh, I'm not like Neji, now, I'd like to sleep for a couple days." I say and TenTen rolls her eyes again as we walk back to the apartment.

"I wonder who the next Hokage is gonna be." TenTen wonders as we walk.

"I don't know." I say to her. "Maybe Jiraiya or Lady Tsunade." I say and TenTen nods.

"Its only right that a Sanin would be Hokage, but, Lady Tsunade has been M.I.A for years." TenTen says to me.

"And Jiraiya feels he's too childish for the job." I say and TenTen nods and we walk into the apartment and TenTen goes to shower while I head to my room to find it, I left it trashed.

TenTen walks into my room after half and hour. "Your room is trashed." TenTen comments.

"Its a wonder how I walk or sleep in it." I say with a shrug as I grab my clothes and I walk to the bathroom and I shower.

I clean my room after my shower and I nod proud of myself for doing it and then, I fall asleep on my bed.

2 days later

I walk to the funeral with TenTen and we stand next to Neji and Lee with Guy-Sensei behind us.

We listen to Iruka talk to Konohamaru and then, we go up to place our roses while it rains.

I frown sadly as people talk and then we leave.

"You gonna be ok?" TenTen asks me.

"I'm fine TenTen, now to find Jiraiya, who's in the village, probably peaking on women in the hot springs, again." I say and TenTen nods while Neji looks disgusted.

"Why would you even concern yourself with him?" Neji asks me.

"Because what he does, doesn't effect me, I don't know why it doesn't, but it just doesn't." I say with a shrug.

"Are you A-Sexual?" TenTen asks me.

I shrug. "Maybe, maybe not, I don't know." I say to her and I walk up to a stair case area that over looks the village and I find Jiraiya.

"Hey Tatsuyu." Jiraiya says with out looking at me.

I join him with looking out at the village. "So, what's got your panties in a twist?" I ask him and he sweat drops.

"Nothing, what's wrong with you?" Jiraiya asks me.

"A lot of things." I say and we both sigh simultaneously.

"Then why are we here?" Me and Jiraiya asks each other. "I don't know." We both say and our eye twitches. "Stop saying what I'm saying at the same time that I'm saying it!" We both say as we look at each other.

"Would you two quit it?" Lord Homura asks us.

"Uh huh." I say as I lean backwards on the railing, listening to Lady Koharu and Lord Homura talk to Jiraiya about becoming Hokage, but Jiraiya rejects and suggests Lady Tsunade. "That was predictable." I say and everyone looks at me. "What? Am I the only one who knew Jiraiya would decline the position and suggest my Cousin Lady Tsunade?" I ask and the two old people roll their eyes at me.

Jiraiya says that he'd find Lady Tsunade and that he wanted to take two people, me and the knuckle head, they approve and I sigh once they leave.

"The knucklehead?" I ask and Jiraiya grins at me and nods. "Fine, when do we leave?" I ask him.

"Noon, if possible." Jiraiya says and I look up at the sun and I nod.

"Alright." I say and I head back to my apartment and I pack my bag with my necessities, including my money.

"Where are you going? Your still in your Funeral Attire." TenTen asks.

"Jiraiya wants me and Naruto to go with him to find Lady Tsunade, I have no choice and I am?" I ask looking at my clothing to see I'm in my funeral attire and I groan in annoyance. "This day is gonna be long." I say and TenTen laughs.

"Well, what do you want to wear, since your normal attire might scare off a few people." TenTen asks as she looks through my closet.

I get up after I finish packing my bag and I walk over, grab my dark blue long sleeve and a pair of black leggings.

"That's so simple." TenTen says to me.

"And? It'll keep my perverted God-Father from trying to look." I say and she nods. I walk to the bathroom and I change into the outfit and I walk back into my bedroom, I put on my Konoha headband on around my neck and I sit on my bed in front of TenTen and she brushes out my hair then French braids it.

"There, all done." TenTen says with a grin and I look in the mirror to see my bangs aren't part of the French braid and it looks really good.

"It looks really good, thanks TenTen." I say to her with a smile and I put on my ninja sandals and I grab my bag.

"Your leaving now?" TenTen asks.

"I'm stopping by the Sandwich place since I haven't eaten anything today." I say to her and TenTen gets up.

"I'll come with you, I'm a little hungry right now." TenTen says with a nervous smile and I nod. We walk to the sandwich shop and I get my normal and TenTen gets a random sandwich since she couldn't choose which one she wanted and we head to the gates. I eat as we wait and once Jiraiya and Naruto get here, the three of us set off.
