[ Description: Higurashi Tenten is a Real Kunoichi and takes it very seriously. As seriously as she takes being a kunoichi, she takes being a blacksmith just as much so. She was trained from a young age in both skills by her adoptive father after her adoptive mother failed to return from a mission. She has vowed to be just as strong and capable as any other shinobi. ]

Naruto blinked several times in surprise. Wait, you can get multiple classes? I want multiple classes too.

Hmm, this time let's go for the wizard class.

He glanced again at Tenten's total Dexterity (DEX) score, comparing it to his own attributes.

"Okay, so this is going to be a DEX vs. STR build," Naruto concluded as he removed the blanket off him.

Tenten looked him over, her eyes lingering on the jacket, and her expression clearly conveyed her thoughts: "Oh great, another weirdo."

Lee couldn't help but shout, "That is a youthful jacket!"

Meanwhile, Neji muttered under his breath, "This is a waste of time."

"Hajime!" Gai shouted, stirring the pair into action.

Naruto lunged forward, the ground beneath him cracking like a spiderweb from the force.

Tenten's eyes widened as she instinctively leaped back to dodge, but the sheer momentum from Naruto's raw strength meant he was almost able to grasp her midair and slam her to the ground.

Reacting quickly, Tenten performed a substitution jutsu without any hand signs, leaving behind a cluster of Makibishi, sharp spiked stars, in her place.

Naruto winced as the spikes embedded themselves into his palms, but thankfully, his gloves prevented them from piercing his skin.

He quickly recovered, spotting Tenten reappearing at a distance.

With a swift motion, he threw the Makibishi towards her.

Tenten dodged agilely, but she watched in disbelief as the spiked stars tore through tree bark as easily as a hot knife through butter.

"What kind of academy student has this kind of strength?" she wondered silently.

From the sidelines, Maito Gai observed Naruto's display of 'youthful strength' with keen interest, seeing potential in the young ninja. Lee, inspired by the spectacle, sparkled with excitement, eager to test his own strength against Naruto’s. Neji, however, remained unimpressed and aloof, simply snorting in response.

"Fate will decide the winner."

Tenten quickly launched a kunai, employing the academy-style clone jutsu to create the illusion of dozens of kunai flying towards Naruto.

Anticipating the attack, Naruto executed a substitution jutsu to evade, disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Tenten, calculating his likely position, unleashed a barrage of shurikens.

From the sidelines, Hinata shouted encouragement for the first time, "You can do it!"

Her voice boosted Naruto’s morale as he deftly used Kunai Bukijutsu to deflect most of the shurikens.

With agility, Naruto closed the distance between him and Tenten.

As he approached, Tenten threw another kunai directly at him.

Instead of deflecting it, Naruto flowed into an anticlockwise swirling Kata, maneuvering swiftly to Tenten’s right.

His fist was cocked, ready to strike, but Tenten was prepared.

She swiftly drew a staff from her storage seal, meeting Naruto's punch head-on.

The force of the impact caused the wood of the staff to bend alarmingly before it exploded from the stress, creating a smokescreen.

Using the cover, Tenten spat a senbon needle towards Naruto’s ear. It barely grazed him, slicing a nick in his earlobe.

[ Status Update: Player Naruto has been inflicted with Poison. ]

“Is poisoning me necessary?”

"Just my style. You give up, and I’ll give you the cure," Tenten countered.

Naruto grinned and yelled, "Pass!" He then lunged forward, landing a solid punch. Tenten reacted quickly, pulling out a shield from her storage seal.

The impact sent her skidding back several feet, the shield absorbing most of the force but clearly showing the power behind Naruto's strike as Tenten felt her bones rattling.

Noting that he needed to end this quickly before the poison worked its magic, Naruto opted to use Spirit Possession.

[ Spirit Possession has been activated ]

Naruto began to focus more intently on Tenten's movements and posture.

He noticed the way she shifted her weight onto her left foot, allowing her to utilize her left hand more effectively.

Naruto noticed the slight tremble in her fingers as she reached for her weapon, indicating slight hesitation or uncertainty, maybe due to his strength build or maybe because she didn't know what to attack with, or if her attack would be something that an academy student could take.

He also observed the way she held her shoulders, slightly hunched and tense, indicating that she was prepared for a quick and agile movement. Her eyes were focused, but not overly tense, indicating that she was fully present and alert.

Naruto's immediately used Kunai Bukijutsu to create cover on the ground and sent shurikens spinning and circling around the dirt cloud towards Tenten.

Tenten's frown indicated her surprise at Naruto's strategy.

As he charged through the smoke cloud, she tried to hit him with another staff, but he skillfully dodged the blow, having anticipated her action.

As he stopped his skid and sent a Kunai at Tenten, she expertly parried it with her staff

"That was reckless."

"Says who?"

"Says common sense!"

Naruto scrunched his nose up in confusion and shrugged.

"Never heard of him."

Tenten palmed her face, slowly before she took in a deep breath.

"Well I'm certain he'll pay you a visit…" she withdrew her summoning scroll, as several shuriken emerged between her fingers "…when you're staring up at the white ceilings in the hospital!"

As Tenten sent the shuriken at Naruto, the boy leaned forward and twisted his head.

Tenten was not a completely religious person, but even she would question if Kami had been the one to interfere on her behalf as she watched the blond young boy head-butt a thrown shuriken with his goggles, somehow hitting it at an angle that was flat with the exact amount of force at the exact needed time.

Then she watched as the ninja star ricocheted off his head and struck another one that was mid-flight, which was then sent barreling straight towards her, streaking past her cheek and leaving a cut as it whizzed by.

Her jaw detached.

"G-gah! I'm so sorry!"

Gai and Lee, star-eyed with astonishment, watched intently.

Neji maintained his glare towards Hinata, who did her utmost to ignore her cousin.

"It's over," Gai declared, as Tenten charged with renewed vigor, her weapon "The Stupid Stick," aimed to deliver a knockout blow to Naruto's jaw.

Team 3 and Hinata held their breath, expecting the fight to reach its definitive end.

But in a twist no one saw coming, Naruto's left hand shot up, intercepting the stick's end with a kunai, as Naruto jammed it in. Meanwhile, his right hand, placed between the kunai's handle and his own jaw, cushioned the impact.

The force sent him skidding backward, but he remained conscious.

"Can't you just go down?" Tenten yelled in frustration, her voice echoing her disappointment as Naruto simply rubbed the back of his head.

Gai, observing the scene, stroked his chin thoughtfully as he caught Naruto's eyes.

That look... That confidence... Everything about it reminded him of Shikaku Nara.

He has a plan.

"Yosh, that's the power of youth!" Gai said.

Inspired, Lee couldn't contain his excitement.

"Sensei! I will emulate Naruto-kun's power of youth!" he declared, startling Hinata enough for her to step aside.

Naruto, seizing the moment, shouted, "Fuin!" The kunai lodged in the stick glowed ominously with an explosive seal.

Tenten, recognizing the imminent danger, threw the weapon aside just as it detonated, the explosion reverberating through the field.

Tenten leaped back, narrowly escaping the blast, only to find Naruto poised behind her, kunai in hand, ready to strike.

In a split second, Tenten vanished in a puff of smoke, a log stuffed with explosive seals left in her place—a classic substitution.

"You like explosions? Then taste this!" Tenten's voice rang out from the trees, her form hidden.

Tenten's substitution log was filled with a lot of explosive seals, all welded together by a single Fuinjutsu array.

"Fuin!" she yelled, unleashing her counterattack.

Hinata's face drained of color at the display of excessive force.

But Naruto pressed his finger against the central seal of the Fuinjutsu array, channeling his chakra with precision.

The seals, one by one, fizzled out, rendered harmless by his intervention.

Even Gai, with all his experience and knowledge, looked on in confusion and awe.

"Did he just... neutralize it?" he whispered to himself, struggling to find the right word for Naruto's feat.

As the tension between Naruto and Tenten escalated, Tenten realized it was time to escalate her tactics as well.

With a glint in her eye, she drew her kusarigama.

She skillfully tossed the weighted end toward Naruto, intending to catch him off guard.

Naruto, however, seemed to anticipate her move.

He countered by throwing a log at the weapon, which, to Tenten's surprise, got ensnared by the chain.

Then, Naruto grabbed the chain, as if challenging Tenten to a test of strength, a tug of war.

"Dumb move," Tenten scoffed, convinced she had the upper hand. "I guess there is a difference between a Genin and an academy student."

She prepared to leap, planning to pull the log with such force that it would disorient Naruto, setting him up for a swift defeat. She thought that since Naruto had such abnormal strength, he would instinctively use it.

There was one problem.

Naruto had immediately figured out Tenten's plan.

As she jumped, he simply released the chain and the log.

It hurtled towards Tenten, who was caught off guard by the unexpected maneuver.

Her eyes widened in horror as she noticed the sizzling sound emanating from the log. The explosive seals, which Naruto had cunningly reactivated, were moments away from detonation.

"Fuck," was all Tenten could muster, a single word that encapsulated her realization of the impending explosion.

And explode it did, mid-air, sending shards of wood and metal raining down like a deadly storm.

Tenten moved with incredible speed to dodge the debris, but the shockwave was unavoidable.

The kusarigama's chain, still connected to the log at the moment of the explosion, acted like a conduit.

The kinetic force from the blast traveled down the chain, straight to Tenten's hands. The sudden and violent vibration jolted through her, rattling her bones and sending a painful shock through her body.

It was an unexpected transfer of energy, one that she hadn't anticipated, demonstrating a physical principle where energy is transferred through connected objects, in this case, the chain acting as the medium.

Recovering from the initial shock, Tenten could only grit her teeth in frustration. Naruto threw back her earlier taunt with a grin.

"Guess, there's a difference between an academy student and a Genin."

Tenten's frustration boiled over, her vein popping in anger.

As the tension in the clearing escalated, Tenten reached into her pouch and extracted a large scroll.

Neji couldn't help but voice his thoughts. "Using your trump card against an academy student? Pathetic," he snorted, clearly unimpressed.

Lee, however, wore a look of concern. Turning to Gai, he asked, "Gai-sensei, shouldn't we stop Tenten?"

Normally, Gai would have intervened, but something in Naruto's eyes held him back.

Pure confidence.

With a swift movement, he took out two scrolls from his inventory as he crouched down, facing Tenten with a calm that belied the intensity of the moment.

"Soushouryuu (Twin Rising Dragons)!" Tenten exclaimed.

Her scrolls unfurled skyward in a majestic swirl of smoke, and she leaped between them, beginning an unrelenting assault. From the scrolls, she summoned a veritable arsenal: kunai, shuriken, fuuma shuriken, maces, sickles, senbon, katanas, even broadswords.

Each weapon was aimed with precision, threatening to overwhelm Naruto with sheer volume and variety.

But Naruto was ready.

He began a dance, his movements light and agile, as his scrolls unraveled to reveal nothing but plain paper.

To the onlookers, the papers swirled around him in patterns that mimicked the mesmerizing flow of a whirlpool. As he moved, Naruto infused the papers with chakra, revealing a Fuinjutsu seal of storage right on the white surfaces of the scrolls.

Every weapon that Tenten hurled towards him was absorbed by the scrolls as soon as it made contact, vanishing into the seal of storage.

Tenten's fierce barrage was neutralized in seconds, leaving her staring in disbelief as Naruto stood confidently, his scrolls outstretched.

The weapons she had relied on could now be turned against her in an instant.

Tenten was no stranger to adversity, but the sight before her made her realize the precariousness of her position.

She had always prided herself on her arsenal and her ability to control the battlefield with her weapons.

Yet, here she was, disarmed by an academy student's clever use of Fuinjutsu and scroll arts.

The advantage had shifted entirely to Naruto's favor, and she knew it.

With a heavy heart and a reluctant admittance of defeat, Tenten raised her hand and said, "I give."

The clearing fell silent.
