Rain: Hey guys…Rain here and this is MY last chapter for Ame Nochi: The Oath. I had so much fun on but I want to focus more on my book and doing this and FF (For me) has been more harming than good so I decided to end my time here. Originally, I was going to delete all of my fics but my cousin Blues convinced me that not only should they stay up but he can take over so I'm leaving all my fics in his capable hands. Besides, he knows the end game and the various plot points. He'll just fill in the important blanks.

I want to thank every single person that has reviewed my stories for all these years and no worries, each of my fics will get their last chapter with me as the main writer but after that, It's all Blues. So, if you guys see this message a few times when Forged in Hellfire, United I Stand and Reaper's Blood: Final Mix get updated, I am so sorry but I know each of these fics have different readers so, let's do it to it.

Naruto (Oath): What a downer way to start this chapter….

Ame Nochi: The Oath
Chapter Eleven: Shattered

"Thanks for rooming with me Hinata-chan. I genuinely appreciate it," Naruto said to Hinata as he unsealed his storage scroll and pulled out his pajamas. It felt strange to Naruto that he was rooming with someone other than Tenten, but he wanted to give her the space she deserved.

But out of everyone he roomed with, Hinata was a wonderful choice. He could rekindle the friendship he had with her while giving Tenten her space.

It was a win-win in his book.

"Y-You're very welcome Naruto-kun," Hinata replied, a brief stutter in her voice as she sat her folded pajamas at the end of her bed. "S-So there was a small r-ramen shop that I saw while we w-were coming here. Would you like to eat there?"

"Ramen does sound good right about now," Naruto replied as stars filled his eyes. It had been so long since he ate ramen. Not only due to avoiding Ichikaru's but because Tenrai was a very skilled cook.

"Great. I-I will go find Kurenai-sensei t-to let her know," Hinata told him with a smile before she walked out of the room. Naruto watched her leave with a smile before he continued to unpack his storage seal.

It was then he heard the faint sounds of thunder rumbling in the distance. Naruto walked over the window and glanced outside of it and cringed when he saw the dark clouds in the distance.

He truly despised the rain.

Anytime it stormed, it brought something horrible into his life. 'No. I can't think like that,' Naruto admonished with a pointed look. Things were better, He had Rock Lee and Hinata as new/old friends.

He had Tenrai and Gai as people he could depend on.

And he had Tenten…

There were so much more that he had versus any other time a storm came. Maybe, just maybe, this storm meant nothing in terms of his own luck this time around.

It was then he heard three taps at the door. Naruto turned to the door and said "Wow, she found Kurenai-san fast." Naruto then walked to the door and opened the door with a smile only for it to melt away in concern when he saw Tenten on the opposite side.

But instead of the chocolate brown eyes he was used to, they were glowing green, and it only added to the angry look on her face. "Hello, Naruto," she whispered but Naruto could hear the venom within the soft voice.

It was like silk scarf hiding the steel of a kunai within it. "H-Hi Tenten-chan…." Naruto replied with an unsure tone. "W-Would you like to come in?"

Tenten stared at him long and hard and Naruto felt himself becoming more unnerved. He had never seen her act like this before. "So…That's what we've devolved to huh?" Tenten asked him as she walked past him and into the room.

Devolved? What did she mean by that?

Naruto shut the door behind him and opened his mouth only to find Tenten in front of him. Pressed against the door, Tenten brought her right hand up and stabbed a kunai at the wooden frame to the left of his head.

"We were so close Naruto," Tenten whispered as she pressed her forehead against his, her lips so inches from his. "And yet, you seem to forget all about me when Hinata showed up…" Tenten whispered, an edge of menace in her voice.

"Tell me…Did you sing for her like you did me?" Tenten asked as the kunai scraped against the wooden frame. "Did you?!" She suddenly shouted, her green eyes flaring with her shout.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about," Naruto whispered, a tinge of fear in his voice. "But you're scaring the hell out of me. What's wrong?"

Instead of answering, Tenten tilted her head and her frown deepened. "All this time, I worried about you. From the day we met in the rain to now…And yet you dropped me from your life at the drop of a dime for her…"

"Tenten, I really don't understand what you're talking about," Naruto told her, unable to keep the worry and fear from his voice. "Hinata is an old friend. I never abandoned you for her. I wouldn't do that."

"And yet you did!" Tenten snapped. Naruto could see faint pale green electricity streak across her irises and he was truly starting to fear for both himself and the one currently holding him hostage.

"We're supposed to be best friends…" Tenten hissed out as the kunai scraped from the wooden panel and into the door now, getting closer to the direction of Naruto's head.

"I did everything for you, you know? I offered my home, my mom…I even swore to protect you and yet you did what everyone else does! You tossed me aside when something better came along!" She screamed as she pulled the kunai out from the wall and held it up, poised to strike.

Naruto froze up in absolute terror as the rain began to pour outside. It was then the light above them glinted against the steel of the kunai and it was then he saw her eyes look at the kunai briefly before realization set in. The green irises Tenten held melted back into the familiar, now horrified, chocolate brown.

Tenten stumbled backwards away from him, her body trembling as she dropped the kunai, her body trembling in absolute terror at what she had done. Despite his confusion and fear, Naruto took a step forward to Tenten as he slowly asked "Tenten, what's going o-"

"Stay away!" Tenten shouted in terror, which caused Naruto to pause mid-step. "D-Don't take another step!"

"Tenten…I…" Naruto started.

"No…You can't come near me!" Tenten warned. "I just tried to….I was about to…"

"But you didn't," Naruto said as he took another step to her, understanding in his eyes. "You scared the holy hell out of me and I'm pretty sure I'll have a nightmare or three but I'm okay."

Naruto held out a placating hand towards her, his eyes radiating fear as well as warmth. However, Tenten took another step back, tears falling down her eyes. Without any hesitation, Tenten turned her body and leapt out of the open window behind her.

"Tenten!" Naruto shouted as he ran to the window but because of pouring rain, he lost track of her.

Tenten: Ame Nochi: The Oath

Tenten ran.

The images of Naruto's fearful eyes flashing through her mind as the rain crashed against her body. She was supposed to protect him. She had PROMISED to protect him with her life and yet she nearly attacked him.

All because of this sick, twisted jealousy.

Why had she snapped like that?

She had been jealous before but this feeling was so much stronger than before. It was like her personality was morphing to it…And now she failed at protecting Naruto and there was no doubt that he was terrified of her now.

But what had startled her was her eyes. Her eyes were an emerald green and it seemed to shine with a menacing intent in them.

She had never seen her eyes like that before. Tenten slowed her pace to a stop and slide down against a wall, her clothes clinging to her body as she lowered her head.

What was happening to her?

Without warning, the rain stopped pelting her body, which caused her to lift her head up. There was an umbrella above her. "Well, I wasn't expecting to see you so soon after our spar," a familiar voice said.

Tenten looked to her left to see Kinan, who had a smile on her face.

"O-Oh…Kinan-san…" Tenten muttered.

"What are you doing out here in the cold?" Kinan asked with concern in her voice.

"I…I…" Tenten couldn't speak. Instead she felt the tears beginning to build up in her eyes. "I made a terrible mistake…." She managed to get out before she began to sob. She didn't expect a lot of things but Kinan kneeling down beside her to hug her close was one of those things but Tenten couldn't help but melt against her touch.

"Shhh, it's okay," Kinan whispered sweetly into her ear. "You'll be okay. I promise. Just let it out…"

Kinan: Ame Nochi: The Oath

Kinan pulled up a chair and placed it on the bed she had laid the now sleeping Konoha kunoichi with a conflicted expression on her face. There was so much Kinan wanted to tell her when she held the young girl in her arms. She wanted to warn her that being here was dangerous.

She wanted to tell her of the insidious plot that awaited her but Kinan was a selfish person. From the minute she saw Tenten, she knew who she was and the glow of their shared Kekkai Genkai, the Kanjō no me (Eyes of emotion) merely confirmed it.

Kinan reached over and lightly caressed Tenten's cheek and smiled a bit. She knew that by the time the blood test came back, Tenten was going to be subjected to the truth their mother had tried to hide for so long.

And Kinan knew that once Tenten found out, the smallest report they had created was going to crumble down and she would lose her sister again.

But at least, for now, she could be the older sister she was meant to be.

Rain: And that's the end of this chapter. The next chapter will be all Blues from here so thank you all for reading and trust me, this, and all of the other fics, will be in wonderful hands. Until we meet again guys!
