A Minor Change

Within the changing room connected to the Konoha hot spring, a young woman tears a few pieces of paper out of a notebook. ‘I doubt Naruto will mind if I just borrow a few pieces.’ The brunette fished out a pen from her bag.

Reminder:

I have too much flower in the kitchen. Find a recipe to use it in.

The weapons mistress of Konaha, Tenten, felt an odd pulse as soon as she finished writing. Two equally clear memories appeared. In one, she remembered checking her kitchen cabinet and seeing a large bag of extra cooking flour. ‘That’s what happened isn’t it?’ Yet, a second image appeared just as clear. In this one, Tenten recalled opening the same drawer this morning only to find a giant sunflower growing in her kitchen.

The kunoichi delivered a critical gaze at the paper in her hand. Tenten then looked over at the beige colored walls of the changing room. Lifting her pen again, she tested her theory.

The walls in the hot spring changing room are lime green with bright pink dots.

The same twin memories appeared in Tenten’s mind. In one set, she recalled barely noting the plain unassuming walls. The most memorable thing about them was when Ino politely asked if they were her favorite color. However, the other set appeared much more detailed. Tenten recalled hearing stories about how the colorblind owner of the springs refused to pay overtime for the maintenance staff. It was an open secret that the hideous color combination was their ****.

Tenten closed her eyes, immediately pressed her hands together, and yelled “Kai” as she tried to disrupt her chakra flow. She opened her eyes again. In that instance, nothing changed. Another moment passed and still nothing happened. “It’s real.” Her hands shook with a combination of awe and joy at the possibilities. “I need to test how far this goes.” With frantic speed and hands shaking, she quickly started to write.

I completely defeated and humiliated Temari during the Chūnin Exam preliminaries.

A new reality seemed to form around Tenten as she recalled her previous defeat. ‘That’s right I was up in the air getting ready to activate my seal when I noticed her preparing to wave her fan again.’ Grabbing two kunai with explosive tags already added, she launched them to Temari’s left, opposite her fan. The sand kunoichi was able to reduce their speed and scatter their trajectory, but they still managed to land close enough in front of her. Temari’s eyes went wide as the explosions went off. A cloud of black smoke obscured her entire form.

When the dust settled, Tenten smirked. The damage to Temari’s was mostly superficial at best. She had planted her fan into the ground to serve as a makeshift shield. But that was just the opportunity the weapons mistress had been waiting more. Dropping to the ground and running forward with speed that only someone who regularly trains with Rock Lee could manage, Tenten approached from Temari’s right just outside her field of vision. Kunai in hand, the leaf ninja extended her arm to deliver a series of quick slash in order to **** Temari away from her fan.

Instinctively, the blond haired kunoichi jumped back, but unfortunately not far enough. Tenten’s kunai had managed to cut a near perfect rectangle of cloth on Temari’s shirt. The torn cloth fell to the ground and the sand kunoichi’s large perky breasts flopped out for the spectating ninja. Tenten couldn’t help but grin and taunt now that she had the advantage. “You know that’s a pretty nice pair you’ve got there. Is that what you send your time working on, because it sure isn’t your ninja skills!” Temari felt her entire body heat up in response to that insult. For some reason, her outfit suddenly felt tight and oddly enough moist. In rage, the sand kunoichi grabbed her own kunai and prepared to fight, while also ignoring the rising heat pouring through her. ‘I am going to teach that bitch a lesson.’ However, she didn’t get a chance at ****.

With lightning speed, Tenten’s foot made contact with Temari’s face. The **** of the lightning fast kick sent the blond spinning before falling face first and ass up onto the ground. The blond desperately tried to pick herself up before feeling a powerful sting push her down. Turning her head up, she saw Tenten, her foot now planted on her upturned ass. “Just give up. I am literally kicking your ass at this point.” To punctuate her point, Tenten lifted her leg up before dropping her heel again down on Temari’s ass. The heat in Temaria seemed to reach a fever pitch. Tenten continued to deliver a series of short axe kicks down on her opponent until finally Temaria released a load moan.

Tenten ended her reminiscing. She recalled the vague details of what happened after. The matched had been immediately called in her favor after that point. It wasn’t much, but she got a little more respect from her teammates and fellow kunoichi after that day. ‘Plus, Neji could never use that “I made it to the real exam portion” on me. Sure, I lost against Shikamaru, but I still got tons of respect for making it to the third portion.’ The brunette looked down again at the piece of paper. ‘Maybe, I did even better than that.’

Click, click, click. The sound of footsteps suddenly took Tenten away from her musings. She could hear voices starting to get louder. “So, Naruto, me and Hinata were thinking about heading back to my place for a little slumber party. Would you like to come?” In a mad dash, Tenten pocketed the few pieces of paper she had ripped out before returning the notebook and pendant back to the locker. “Hey who’s that?” Tenten didn’t bother to heed the question as she ran out of the hot spring.
