The kunoichi unsealed a set of armoured gloves and showed them to him. The back of the hand and fingers were lined with a layer of interlocking plates of shaped steel. The knuckle guards had small spikes jutting up to increase the damage of her punches further.

"Yikes, remind me to get some armour for my arms for when I spar with you." Naruto joked.

Tenten grinned smugly. "Got that right."

Just before they reached the door…

Bloodlust Detected! Above and to both sides!

Naruto reacted immediately, tackling Tenten to the ground as a pair of kunai and a senbon whistled through the place she had been standing only seconds before.

"What the-?!" the kunoichi snarled as she rolled to her feet.

"Someone's attacking us!" Naruto said just before he had to duck as another kunai whistled through the air again.

"These are live weapons!" the brunette cursed as she drew her own from her rear holster, "Who are they?!"

"Not got a clue." He replied, "I aim to find out though! All clones bombard the tree line!"

As numerous Gansetsukon pelt the trees like rain, Tenten had to ask, "Um…why are they throwing their staves?"

"They can be used as either close combat weapons or as ranged weapons." The blond explained hurriedly, "Ah-HA! Got one of the bastards!"

Indeed, one of the assailants fell from a tree with a Gansetsukon impaled through his leg. He wore blue combat trousers with white splotches dotted over it, a slate-grey shinobi vest and a hitai-ate with four diagonal lines in a square formation engraved on it, with a single horizontal line bisecting it.

"Kirigakure Nuke-nin!" Naruto shouted in warning.

"That's right, brat." The fallen man said in a monotone as he nonchalantly tugged the stone stave out of his leg, "We were going to sell you and the girl, but for wounding me, we'll make you watch as we ruin her BEFORE we sell her."

The man was soon joined by three other Missing Ninja, all from Kirigakure. One made a lewd gesture at Tenten with his hips.

The blond orphan ground his teeth together in anger. He glanced at Tenten…and recoiled as anger seemed to emanate from her like a tangible, physical force. Her expression was almost demonic and the blond boy was very, very grateful that she was on his side.

Without saying a word, she pulled out two scrolls from her specially made side pouches, slammed them down onto the ground and then rapidly ran through five handsigns –Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Hare and Snake- before crossing her arms.

"Ninpō… (Ninja Art…)" she growled, "…Sōshōryū! (Twin Rising Dragons!)"

An explosion of smoke concealed her before a pair of long streams of smoke rose up. Naruto blinked as they actually looked like dragons! They stretched up, reaching high into the heavens…and Tenten was rising up rapidly to match them!

"Ruin me? Sell me and Naruto?!" she hissed, "We'll see about that!"

Naruto gazed in awe at Tenten as she seemed to float in mid-air, with the scrolls appearing out of the smoke dragons. She was really, really amazing, but really, really pissed at the Nuke-nin. The blond boy decided that keeping on this girl's good side was a priority in the future.

As she reached for the scrolls, the world turned grey and everything froze. Tenten, the movement of the trees and the movement of the Nuke-nin, all stopped dead.

Choice 2 (Pragmatic) [My Clones'll help you out.] +100 Reputation with Higurashi Tenten, +250 [Pragmatic] Alignment, +50 EXP.

'What the…as if I'd just stand back and let my clones fight!' Naruto scoffed as he hit the first option with one hand, drawing a handful of shuriken with the other.

"Tenten, let's take on these losers together!" he shouted as the world returned to normal.

"Got it!" Tenten grinned savagely as she replied. A window popped up.

Y/N

Naruto scanned the opposition, four Missing Ninja, as he hit the 'Y' button.

Abare Shun LV 29

['Kirigakure Nuke-nin']

Miyanaga Keiichiro LV 26

['Kirigakure Nuke-nin']

Ryūmonbuchi Shō LV 27

['Kirigakure Nuke-nin']

Shioizumi Reiji LV 26

['Kirigakure Nuke-nin']

He frowned. Those titles were uniformly suspicious. What was with the quote marks in them? Anyway, they were way stronger than both Tenten and himself, but fortunately, he had scanned several people over the past few months and had concluded that levels were only one indication of a person's power. Several Chunin had had poorer stats than Tenten, a Genin, possessed.
