Chapter 011

At Ten Ten's home,

After the birthday party, Ten Ten was checking her birthday present boxes. Not many people came to her birthday party. She had invited only few people; Guy sensei, Kakashi sensei, Lee, Neji and some of her classmates. Most people gave normal presents. But there was some exceptions like Guy sensei and Lee.

Both of them gave her weights with notes. Lee gave her wrist weights two times heavier than the one she had. In his note, he wrote.

" I wish you would be two times stronger than now in your next birthday."

Guy also gave her ankle weights three times heavier than the one she had and his note was similar to Lee's. The only difference was "two" and "three" .

"As expected of two training maniacs," Ten Ten smiled and sighed.

Next Ten Ten opened the present box that specially prepared by her father, Ichito. Her really care her as her mother died since she was 1 during Nine-tailed's attack. Although he didn't want Ten Ten to choose a dangerous career like Shinobi, he still supported her well. Since she started to attend ninja academy, he gave her things related to shinobi on her birthdays. After she transmigrated as Ten Ten, she avoided him as much as she could because she felt guilty for taking his daughter body. But after living as Ten Ten more than 4 years, their relationship was not as awkward as before. She already decided to treat like her own father and protect him. She thought it was her responsibility as she took his daughter's body.

He gave her a Saurai's kenjutsu technique as her present last year. So she was really curious what would his present this year be. After opening the box, Ten Ten saw a huge needle. Although ninja used needles, they only used small needles. Who would use a needle as big as a sword?

"What is this, Dad?"

Her father laughed and said proudly.

" Hiroshi told me that this was a very famous sword in the Land of Water. He fortunately got it from a missing nin of the hidden mist. He wanted to give this sword as birthday present. I didn't accept it because it was too precious. But he still wanted give you. So I asked him to sell me. After that, he sold me with half of the actual price. By the way, Hiroshi couldn't come to your birthday party because he is very busy for his new factory. His company's instant noodles is best selling right now. But I think that instant noodles is not comparable to Ichiraku ramen. Do you think we should cooperate with Teuchi to establish a instant noodles company. After all selling ninja tools is not much profit during peaceful times. And...."

Ten Ten interrupted Ichito.

"Dad, about the sword."

Her father, Ichito didn't have many shortcomings. He was a helpful friend, a caring dad and good looking man. But he was very talkative. He could continue to talk you for a long time unless you interrupted. And he would tell you many things from about his company to his father's first love's sister's pet.

"Oh, sorry. Let's continue about the sword. Have I mentioned you the name of this sword?"

"No, you haven't. But I remember this sword now. This sword is called Nuibari. Its other name is Chōtō and one of the swords wielded by the famous seven swordsmen of the mist. Nuibari is well known for its penetrating ability. Some people said that this sword could even pierce and one hundred people and stitch them together. Although it was just an exaggerated rumor, it reflected the penetrating ability of Nuibari."

Although Ten Ten could not recognize this big needle at first, after her father told her that it was a famous sword from Land of water, she remembered this sword. Nuibari was her second most favorite sword among the swords of the seven swordsmen of the mist.

As for her most favorite sword, wasn't it obvious? Her most favorite sword was 'Kiba', a sword known as the sharpest sword in existence. It was very suitable for a lightning release user like her.

After Ten Ten explained everything about Nuibari, Ichito scratched his head and said.

" Umm It seems you know better than me about this sword. Anyway, do you like my present."

"Of course. I like it. But it would be dangerous to use this sword. This sword can be said as a pride for hidden mist , you know. So I think we should reforge this sword to change its form."

"Okay, leave this to me. By the way, when would your next mission be?"

"Guy sensei told that we would rest in konoha for two weeks. So I have 10 days before next missions. Is there something you wanted to do?"

" Well, I was busy with my business while you were busy with your missions during last months. So we haven't spent our time together since you've become a shinobi. Let's go a picnic together tomorrow. Alright, I think you must be tired. You can go and rest now. Good night, Ten Ten."

"Alright, good night dad. Have a good dream," said Ten Ten. And then she went to her bedroom. She was really tired right now. So as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.

..........

Five days later,

Ten Ten was eating ramen at Ichiraku ramen. Beside her, there was a little boy with yellow-blond, spiky hair and blue eyes. And there was the three whisker markings on his cheeks. No need to doubt that he was Uzumaki Naruto, Jinchuriki of the Nine tails and future seventh generation Hokage.

"Big sister Ten Ten, are gonna train with me today?" Naruto asked while eating ramen quickly.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. Today , I've an appointment with a jonin sensei. So I can't accompany you in your training."

Naruto was a little unhappy.

" It's okay big sister. Just leave a shadow clone to train with me if you're busy. And when is your appointment?"

Ten Ten causally replied.

"The appointment is at 9 o'clock. "

"Big sister Ten Ten, it is already 11 o'clock! You're late. Hurry, you should go to training ground now. Otherwise you would be punished by your sensei." Naruto was worried and shouted.

"Relax, Naruto. Don't worry. This sensei is the lazy one. Not my hard working team leader. He is usually late and I left a shadow clone in the training ground to inform me once she sense his chakra."

"Umm.. But what if your shadow clone is sleeping because she is lazy. "

"Hey, My clone is just like me. So she is very diligent and not lazy, okay? Wait, my jonin sensei has come. I've to go immediately. Goodbye Naruto." While she was talking to Naruto, her clone informed her that Kakashi sensei was coming to the training ground. So she rushed towards the training ground after using shadow clones jutsu and giving money to her clones.

Looking at Ten Ten who disappeared after using 'body flicker jutsu', Naruto asked her shadow clone, "Big sister, can you me that jutsu today? My shurikenjutsu and taijutsu are much better than before. So you should teach me some cool jutsu."

Ten Ten's shadow clone shooked her head and said.

"Although your shurikenjutsu and taijutsu are improved, it is not enough. Your shurikenjutsu is still not comparable to Sasuke's. And I think that there are still rooms for improvement in your taijutsu. More importantly, you must proficient in ' Substitution jutsu ' and has better chakra control to learn 'body flicker jutsu'. So if you want to learn cool jutsu, you should focus on training chakra control and ' Substitution jutsu '. Stop wasting time by that 'Sexy no jutsu '."

After hearing Ten Ten's lecture, Naruto suddenly remembered a new jutsu that he developed specially for 'big sister Ten Ten'.

' I think she will definitely dumbfound after seeing my "Sexy Reverse Technique". '

It was almost a year since Ten Ten and Naruto had become friends. They met at Konoha hospital. Ten Ten was an intern in Konoha hospital and Naruto was a regular visitor. Naruto often had to come to hospital due to various reasons. Sometimes he would be injured because Sasuke beat him during combat class or he would fight with some kid as they called him 'Demon Fox' and tried to bully. Or he would get diarrhea because he drank expired milk. And Naruto's cases were just minor cases. So they were handed to an intern medical ninja like her. In this way,. they became familiar.

As for getting attention of the village because she became friend with Nine tails Jinchuriki. She didn't care about it. After all, she was not an Uchiha and didn't not approach Naruto intentionally. So she believed there would not be problems.

After becoming friends with Naruto, she helped him in his training, especially in shurikenjutsu and taijutsu. To train shurikenjutsu, you must have many shurikens because ninja academy didn't allow the students to take those shurikens. They were only allowed to use during lessons. So you had to buy shurikens if you wanted to practice shurikenjutsu. Poor Naruto could not afford to buy shurikens and Sandaime also did not provided. So Ten Ten helped him to buy shurikens and taught him shurikenjutsu.

Training taijutsu also needed someone to guide him or at least someone to practice together. Ten Ten also had faced this problem. During her academy student days, she could not beat Neji easily although her physical attributes were higher a lot than him. So she wanted to help a junior who was facing same as she once had faced. It was not because she wanted to complete two missions; beating nine tails jinchuriki and beating future Hokage. Yes, she was too kind hearted and just wanted to help that little boy. Completing two missions was a just coincidence.

However after beating Naruto, she only completed one mission, defeating future Hokage. Defeating nine tails jinchuriki was not completed. She thought it needed a specific condition such as jinchuriki must be in tailed beast mode or at least use tailed beast chakra. Although she was unhappy, she had to admit that it was reasonable. If jinchuriki could not use during the battle, how could this be called fighting a jinchuriki?

......

In the training ground,

As soon as Ten Ten arrived at the training ground, Kakashi walked in.

"Oh, I thought I was too late. It seems I misremembered the time of the appointment." Kakashi laughed and said.

"Okay, how is your process in practicing 'Rasengan'?"

Ten Ten smirked and did not replied. Then she used shadow clones technique and started to perform 'Rasengan' with the help of her clones.

A few seconds later, a bright blue ball formed by chakra appeared on her palm.

"Rasengan"

Ten Ten rushed and hit the tree next to her with 'Rasengan'.

"Boom"

With that sound, the wood pieces scattered around them and a hollow as big as a bowl appeared on the trunk of that tree.

Actually Ten Ten did not need shadow clones to use 'Rasengan'. Moreover she also reduced the chakra output to decrease the power of her "Rasengan".
