Chapter 015

After studying fuinjutsu for a while, Ten Ten was bored. So she left a shadow clone to continue studying fuinjutsu. Then she went out to stroll around the village to relax herself.

'In addition to causing physical and mental fatigue, shadow clone jutsu has another side effect. It really makes me lazy,' Ten Ten thought.

She could use shadow clones to learn or train medical ninjutsu, ninjutsu, fuinjutsu, kenjutsu and even some medical knowledge or do D rank missions. She only had to train eight gates by herself. Therefore she was not as diligent as she was in ninja academy.

Konoha was really worthy as a great shinobi village. The streets were crowded and the atmosphere was lively. Even compared to other four great shinobi villages, konoha was still a better place. At least she thought so. Among five great shinobi villages, hidden mist was gloomy, hidden sand was deserted and had harsh environment. Hidden rock was also not much different from hidden sand. So Konoha would be the best among five great shinobi villages if not for a certain greedy old rat who was suffering from 'only I should be the Hokage' syndrome.

Ten Ten felt her bond with konoha became stronger over times. She became familiar with many people like Lee, Neji, Guy sensei, Kakashi sensei, Naruto, Hokage sama,etc. She was proud for konoha and wanted to protect it as much as she could. What if she couldn't? Of course, she would run for her life. After all, she had not reached to the level 'I could kill my family and clan for the village ' like Itachi or 'I would sacrifice myself for the village' like Minato.

Ten Ten was thinking aimlessly as she was strolling around the village. After she came out of the dango shop, she heard someone calling her.

" Hey! Big sister Ten Ten"

Then she saw Naruto with a backpack running toward her. Behind him was an old man, Kakashi sensei, a cute pink haired girl and a handsome black haired boy. To be honest, the face value of Team 7 was very high. Therefore Naruto look a little stupid compared to his team members although he was not ugly.

"Oh...Naruto, it seems you're going out for mission" Ten Ten said.

"Yeah, yeah yeah! You know, it's C rank mission. And it's my first time going out of the village." Naruto replied excitedly.

Then he came closer and whispered to her.

"But that old man called Tazuna was the worst client. He said that I look stupid. Do you think I look stupid, Dattebayo?"

"Naruto, you can't told anyone about the mission. It's a Shinobi code." Sakura arrived beside Naruto and warned him.

"If he thinks you're unreliable, you should show him the might of future Godaime Hokage during mission. And convinced him that you're a great shinobi. I believe that you can definitely do like that," Ten Ten encouraged Naruto.

Then Ten Ten smiled and told Sakura."You must be Sakura, right? Naruto told me a lot about you. And don't worry, he didn't tell me anything about your mission."

'Is there really someone who believes this idiot's nonsense. How could Naruto become a Hokage? This guy is always messing around the village and lowest ranking in the class. Only talented one like Sasuke might become Hokage. She probably has a crush on Naruto or she was too kind. Otherwise there is no way she could believe his nonsense,' Sakura thought after hearing what Ten Ten said to Naruto.

" Nice to meet you, big sister. What did Naruto said about me?" Sakura asked.

Before Ten Ten could replied to Sakura, Kakashi and the other two arrived. The three of them were walking slowly for various reasons. Tazuna was drunk and an old man. Kakashi was lazy and Sasuke was just acting cool.

"Yo...Ten Ten, It's rare to see you leisurely walking around the village." Kakashi said.

"Kakashi sensei, " Ten Ten greeted. Then she asked.

"Do I look like someone who would discomfort if I don't train, in your opinion?"

"Yes, you are. I haven't seen a day you didn't run around village with weights unless you have a mission. And you're always eager to learn new jutsu," Kakashi nodded.

Ten'Training Fanatic'Ten "..."

Although Ten Ten was speechless, she had to admit that she was like a training fanatic for other people as she did daily mission of system everyday to get 10 points. Moreover she was infected by the power of youth and became more and more fond of training under the influence of Guy sensei and Lee.

Even Kakashi was infected by the power of youth and he started to practice Eight gates again. He felt an urgency when he taught Ten Ten. He thought he would be over taken by her in a few years unless he diligent in training.

"Alright, I'm just joking. Since I have to do mission.." Kakashi patted Ten Ten's shoulder and said.

"Okay, I don't delay you guys anymore. And I wish you could return safely." Ten Ten said.

After saying goodbye to Team 7, Ten Ten continued her food trip.

Now, Team 7 was doing their land of Wave mission. She thought this mission would not as troublesome as it was in the canon for Team 7. After all Kakashi and Naruto were more stronger than their counterparts now.

After buying many snacks, Ten Ten went to the Hokage Rock to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the hidden leaf. It was really nice to view the whole village while eating snacks. You could see the children playing happily, some newbie genin doing their missions and you would even see Lee and Neji practicing in the training ground on Hokage Rock.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

While she was overlooking the scenery of Konoha, she heard an old voice.

"Hokage sama", when she turned and looked, she saw Sandaime.

" Don't be serious. I'm just strolling around to escape from endless paperwork. You can treat me as your grandpa now." Hiruzen smiled and sat beside her.

"How is your process in fuinjutsu? You can come and ask me anytime if there is anything you don't know or understand." Sandaime continued while eating snacks she bought.

Although Sandaime was very knowledgeable about ninjutsu, good at politics and kind to children, he had two major flaws. First one was like to peep others with his crystal ball jutsu and the second was like to grab the food of children when he was about to brainwash them with 'will of fire'.

"Thanks, hokage sama. I don't encounter any problem in learning fuinjutsu currently," Ten Ten answered.

Hiruzen did not say about 'will of fire" or something related to brainwashing like Ten Ten thought. He asked a question she did not expect.

"How is your clones doing now?"

"How do you know I'm not a shadow clone?"

"Hahaha... would you let your clone to enjoy the scenery and relax while you were training?"Hiruzen laughed and replied.

"Hehe... I've asked a stupid question."

Ten Ten scratched her head and said.

"One of my clones is studying fuinjutsu while the other one is learning medical ninjutsu. And my third clone is practicing wind release ninjutsu that Kakashi sensei recently taught me."

"What's your limit for practicing with shadow clones for now?" Sandaime asked.

" I think I could use at least two hundred shadow clones at the same time for training." She replied.

She had learned multiple shadow clones during these times. She got that forbidden jutsu by exchanging with some ninjutsu she had developed. Although her ninjutsu were not high rank, Sandaime thought they were very useful for battle, especially 'Eyes of Watatsumi'. He thought 'Eyes of Watatsumi' was really useful when fighting with the exception of Byakugan user if it was used together with tear-gas. So he rewarded her with 'Multiple shadow clones jutsu' as he thought it was really suitable for someone with a huge chakra reserve like her.

"That's really amazing. I'm really envy you. By the way, are you interested in developing a kekkei genkai?" Sandaime asked Ten Ten.
