I do not own any Naruto characters.

True Power

Chapter 1:The Memories

Hyuuga Neji sat meditating in a small clearing with his eyes closed. The breeze blowing gently, a leaf falls towards the protgiy. The leaf slowly drifts towards his head and as it approached six inches away, it stopped as if it had landed on the ground.Then another breeze blew and the leaf drifted away. As he sat on the ground he thought of his significant fights. His first defeat by someone who ranked the same as himself and his near-death experience by an enemy ninja.

All logic and sense said Neji would defeat Naruto. Naruto took the full force of his clans strongest jutsu, Hakke Rokujuuyonshou, and managed to turn the fight around. The fight ended with Naruto victorious. Looking back at it, he considered that loss something important. He discovered the truth of his father and it gave hime a slightly better outlook on life.

His next bout was againist an elite from Otogakure no Sato. Although he was out classed, he didn't give up and managed to strike the vital points with his Juuken. If not for the medi-corp team sent out, Neji would have died. He had always thought as himself as someone immensely powerful but his battle with Kidomaru confirmed that he could, no needed to get stronger. He barely beat Kidomaru and he knew there were stronger opponents out there. Suddenly he takes a deep breath and opens his eyes. He had been practicing keeping chakra around his body, just in case he came in contact with another ranged fighter. He had been doing this for a little over an hour and was due for a break when...

"Tenten what are you here for" he said without glancing to the tree she landed on.

"Hello to you too. Anyways, Lady Tsunade wants to see you." she replied with a slight smile.

"And why would that be?" Neji asked as he stood up and faced her.

"I belive we have a mission."

"Than shall we go?"

Tenten simply nodded as a breeze brought down another leaf. As it touched the ground, they were gone.

End Chapter One

I know this was short but I will try to make the following chapters longer. Also I know that it doesn't look like it yet, but this will be a NejixTenten fic. I should have Chapter Two up in a few days. And Thank you for reading my first typed fanfic! Also I may change the name of the story, I came up with "True Power" because I couldn't think of anthing else. Next chapter "Chapter Two:The Order"
