After food

*We see Naruto, hinata, Sakura who ended up being at ichiraku, both Naruto and Hinata insisted she joins them, and Tenten walking to the back of the business, there was a small opened field, big enough for two people to fight, Naruto threw Tenten back his sword and walked to the other side*

Tenten:wait, your gonna let me fight with your sword?

Naruto:yeah, don't take offense when I say this, but your metal is far too weak. It would be a pretty quick fight if I kept destroying your weapons

*Naruto said taking out his spear, spinning it around, before slamming it on the ground. The metal part piercing the ground, he looked at Tenten who was again drooling, at the notion of using a blade of the highest quality*

Naruto:now, let's set some rules, 5 minute limits, no Jutsu, no lethal or permanent injury.

Tenten:sounds fair just one blade master vs a blade apprentice

*Tenten said in a teasing tone, getting into fighting position, Naruto had an annoyed smile on his face, as a tick mark on his forehead*

Naruto".......oh I'm about to slap a bitch"

*Naruto thought, since Naruto has seen true blade masters, neither him and certainly less Tenten, were one of them. Both looked at each other for a second, the second became a minute, till they both looked at Hinata expectantly. Hinata flinched and blushed embarrassed*

Hinata:s..sorry sorry! Begin!

*Naruto and Tenten ran to each other,  Naruto stabbed forward, but Tenten easily dodged, and just like that it was over. Naruto pulled down on the Spear taking Tenten by surprised, giving that the spear was significantly more heavy then the sword, the sword went to ground and Naruto released the spear hitting Tenten on the throat as he did so. Tenten was forced to stumble backwards and Naruto walked forward, he open palm hit Tenten in the face, then Naruto backhanded Tenten in the mouth, before elbowing her in the chest hard enough to push Tenten back, Naruto stopped his forward momentum for a second, before he high kicked Tenten in the side of her head, with enough force to make the brain hit the skull, making Tenten pass out while she was free falling to the ground, Naruto turned around just as Tenten hit the ground*

Naruto:well, that was that, Sakura, Hinata, I'll see you at home

Sakura:wait wait wait, what the hell was that?

*Sakura said looking between N and Tenten, Naruto picked up his sword and placed it back to his scabbard*

Naruto:be more specific

Sakura:I thought this was a blade battle, I thought you were gonna fight her with your spear

*Sakura asked, while Hinata was walking towards Tenten, to make sure she was ok, Naruto looked at Sakura shrugging*

Naruto:and that's what I did, to fight with the spear, you have to combine it with fighting with your whole body, of both the weapon, and the user. And when didn't we agree that it was going to be a purely blade fight?

Hinata:b...b..but ok, you didn't. But it was implied, help me with her will you

*Hinata asked, Naruto nodded and grabbed Tenten like a princess, Sakura walked up to them, and glanced at Naruto's hands, to make sure he didn't get handsy with her friend*

Naruto;noooope

*Naruto said as they walked inside, the shop*

Naruto:we didn't say it was gonna be a blade only fight, so it was fair...well maybe not exactly fair, but since it wasn't exactly forbidden. It was all on paper completely fair. Seriously you people fight with chakra, and you call what I did unfair?

Sakura:hey, that has nothing to do with this

*Sakura said in a stern tone, they placed Tenten on a sofa and continued there discussion, while Hinata went to get some water to wake Tenten up*

Naruto:fine, then what were you expecting? An epic fight of blades with flashy techniques, witty one liners, and a message of friendship at the end of it all?

Sakura:I was expecting that you would at least give her a chance, to show you what she can do.

*Sakura said leaning against the counter, Naruto hopped on it and they continued to talk, waiting for tenten to wake up, well Hinata was waiting for her to wake up, Naruto and Sakura were just being polite, not wanting Hinata to Wait alone*

Naruto:I said I would fight her, as my opponent I showed her the same respect I show all my opponents, I fight with everything I had, since that's the way we fight in iron country.

Hinata:ok, but come on, you gave Kiba More Time to show off his move set then you did Tenten

*Hinata added walking back with a small bucket of water, Naruto gave her, his full attention*

Naruto:that's because I wasn't fighting kiba, I was teaching that sniffling mongrel a lesson in manners, a lesson in underestimating one's opponent, a lesson in humility, and showing him, that he's not hot shit as he obviously think he is. I do hope that he's the weakest because if he's not.....

Hinata:well he was the dead last in the academy, how about you?

*Hinata asked, still ever curious of her new friend's life at another village, Naruto hummed in thought, as he placed his hand on his chin, trying to remember his time at the academy*

Sakura;yeah, now I'm curious, what were your academic grades? Were you the top of your class

Naruto:oh heavens no. I mean, I wasn't at the top, but I definitely wasn't at the bottom, at a class of 100 I was ranked number 42. But of those 100, I'm one of the 15 who's still on the samurai path

*Naruto said, thinking of some of his classmates, most quit finding a new passion, or it just wasn't for them, while Sakura in the background was trembling a little, remembering the day she got a C and aunty kushina saw her, changing it to a B*

Naruto: most left to pursue another path in life, I know this one guy, who became just the most amazing baker, his mochi is so good. while others died in pursuit of the honor of being samurai, 2 or 30 dying by my hand

Sakura:wait, you killed your own classmates?

*Sakura asked in shocked, while in the background, Hinata was struggling, she didn't have the heart, to just splash the whole bucket of cold water to Tenten, so she was drizzling a bit of water to her face, Naruto shrugged looking out at the window*

Naruto:it was the first test of the final exams, they wanted to see just how committed we were to this life, don't get me wrong, they told us we could surrender and walk away at any moments. But a few of them were like me, this is the life we wanted to live, and we were all ready to give our life for that life

*Naruto said sitting up straight, his hand on his chest, having a look of pride, Sakura rolled her eyes a little, she lived with N long enough to know, he was gonna start monologuing about iron country*

Naruto:We of iron follow the code, even to death, only the strong shall protect the weak, and only the strongest shall rule. Before emperor Mifune was emperor, his sensei held that title a warrior by the name of pre vizsla. Have I talked about him? Well...

Sakura;maybe another time, please. For now let's get back on topic, couldn't you at least let Tenten show off her moves?

*Sakura asked, thankful of stopping N's historical monologue, the last one was 5 hours long, since Hinata kept asking questions. Naruto just hummed and shook his head*

Naruto:no, those of iron country, we fight to end the conflict as quickly as possible, and minimizing the damage on the surrounding areas..... Well unless we're angry, and out for blood. But that's a rare case

*Naruto trembled a little, when that case came to him and his friends, when in a rare moment, Jin played a prank on Kenshin. It did not end well*

Hinata:o..ok ok, but our techniques are not flashy

Naruto:....I met a guy in sound that had a sword appear inside his mouth, he came back to life sliding outside of a snake, there was this guy in kumo who can make the gravity of a person heavier, a man in Kiri who has a sword that eats chakra and was sentient, that same guy was a shark guy, hell your own leader has a technique that makes him dash faster, then anyone alive. Want me to continue, I gladly could, like those extremely long hand signs

*Naruto said taking pity on the well meaning Hinata, he got up and walked up to her*

Hinata:hey, our hand signs are not that long

Naruto:you have a technique that requires 44 perfect hand signs to perform, water dragon, unless your a speed demon, it's gonna take time to performance it, time that your opponent can and will use against you. Give me the bucket

*Naruto said with his hand out, Hinata gave it to him, and Naruto splashed it all in Tenten, who was moving ironically, like a fish out of water*

Tenten:w..where am I? What happened?!

Naruto:you lost, now I recommend you get a change of clothes, before you get a cold. And I'm off, I have plans for the evening

Tenten:w..wait wait, I have more questions!

*Tenten said before Naruto could leave, he looked at her and waved his hand for her to continue*

Naruto:very well, but just 1 I do have plans

Tenten: when...when I was younger I saw iron country samurai fight, I just gotta ask, now that I know you guys don't use chakra to fight, how did you get so strong?

*Tenten asked, since part of her wanted that information to help lee become stronger, and finally defeat Neji. Naruto just smiled at her, since the response was simple*

Naruto:we train.

*Naruto said simply, they looked at N like he grew a second head, but Naruto just raised his kimono a little, and they saw the same type of weights lee uses*

Naruto: We train every single day with the blade till we collapse from exhaustion, we train with each other till one of us bleeds out, we train with our fists till our bones break, let them heal, and then break them again to make them stronger, till we have essentially our bones become as hard as a samurai armor.

*Naruto said, as he bawled his hand into a fist, and gave them a look that the Shinobi there has seen in the faces of both lee and guy*

Naruto:You want to be stronger? The solution is simple you make your training more intense, since that's the power. THE POWER OF YOUTH!!!

*Naruto screamed with his fist to the Air, just then the door broke open, everyone looked and much to the girls horror it was lee, who heard the last part. Naruto didn't miss a beat and pointed to the opened window*

Naruto: quickly! He just left the window to have a run, you can still catch him

Lee;YOSH!! Thank you!! Wait up my rival!!!

*Lee yelled running out the window, to catch up with his rival, a rival he will never catch up. The girls took a sigh of relief and Naruto grinned a little*

Naruto:he and I will fight one day, but not today since I have plans.

*Naruto said walking away with a hand wave, Sakura couldn't help but grow a teasing smile*

Sakura:really? And what plans are those?

Naruto:oh, nothing much. Just a date
