Chapter 111: The Chunin Exams - 37

"....I didn't think properly, jumped right in while trying something out and exhausted all of my chakra." Daiki admitted with a sigh.

No point really hiding it at this point. Well, roughly how he ended up in this state. Not that he actually restored the corpse of an Uchiha to perfect health so he could harvest its eyes.

"Must have been quite the technique," Tenten whistled, halting in poking his cheek, "You're an endurance freak after all and have chakra for days."

"Something like that," Daiki snorted, "So guess you finished the exam then?" he changed the subject.

"Yup, not long ago actually, fourth team so far apparently," she grinned at him, flashing him a 'v' sign with two fingers, "Heard you were the first one to finish Mr. Ringer, in record time at that?"

"Less than an hour baby, I'm awesome like that." he grinned.

"You're something alright," the bun haired girl rolled her eyes, "Full of it I'm thinking. Still, that's why I came here since I heard you were already here."

"You miss me that much?" he joked, "Want a second date?" Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

Tenten snorted, amused, "Actually, Lee got into a bit of a fight with those sound punks and didn't take them seriously, they busted up his ear drums so his balance is all thrown off and he can't hear right," she replied, "I'm not really good enough with the Mystical Palm Jutsu yet to do delicate stuff like that, so was hoping you could heal him up, but looks like that's a no go for now." she gave a helpless shrug.

Hmm.

So that had gone down the same then?

"I'll do it later, once I've recovered, should only take a few hours," he promised, and she gave him an odd look, but didn't comment, "So the sound team huh? I was thinking of bullying them a bit myself the other day for attacking one of us, but they were too weak to be any fun hunting down to be honest."

"They have some niche techniques, that sound arm thing the lead one has was kinda interesting, and one of them even had a wind jutsu that's a lot like yours," Tenten mused, "But yeah, they weren't all that strong to be honest, Lee could have beaten all three of them easily enough if he took his weights off."

But then again their existence wasn't actually all that important in the grand scheme of things. Dosu would get killed by Gaara off screen and Kin and Zaku just got used as Edo Tensei sacrifices.

Orochimaru could get any two sacrifices, so they weren't all that important really.

"Can't say I'm not glad how things turned out though," the bun haired girl grinned, "I managed to get my hands on that gauntlet the bandage guy had, he called it the Melody Arm I think, it'll be fun to learn how to use in the future."

Huh, another change. Not exactly a massive one, but still another change. And sound based techniques would be super useful for her in the future.

He needed to time to think this th-

His thoughts were derailed by surprisingly soft hands grasping his head and gently lifting it up and directed the back of his skull...to a pair of full, firm, yet comfortable thighs.

Daiki froze.

"...What are you doing?" he asked blankly, looking directly up at Tenten now from where his head lay on her thighs.

"Well, I figure since it'll be a good while before you can move, I may as well make things more comfortable for you," she smirked down at him, "C'mon, you can't say a perv like you isn't happy getting a lap pillow from me, you weren't exactly shy before in complimenting my...let's be polite and say my looks."

...Was she coming on to him?

"You could just help me over to the bed you know." he pointed out.

"I can if you want." Tenten raised an eyebrow challengingly at him.

"Nope, I'm good here." he instantly backtracked.

"I thought so." she snorted, her smirk turning wry.
