The clone dispelled and gave his experience and knowledge to Naruto. In effect, Naruto burst into a fit of laughter outside his bedroom, with Honoka wondering what on earth had Naruto laughing all of a sudden.
(End Flashback: Present Day)
Naruto snapped out of his train of thought when Lee spoke up.
"Naruto-kun, I recall that my team and I were told about your life story. I want to say what an honor it is that I'm friends with such a youthful Genin who saves us every day by keeping that unyouthful bijuu at bay with the powers of his radiant flaring youth! If all the people of Konoha were half the man you are, this village would be a far better society!"
"That's something I can agree to Lee," Naruto replied.
"So you're Uzumaki Naruto. I heard much about you from Lee, Gai-sensei, Hiashi-sama, and Neji. I'm Tenten," Tenten said introducing herself. Naruto turned to look at Tenten. He went over to her and looked her over carefully. Neji, though, looked ready to put Naruto in his place if he tried anything. Sakura shook her head, seeing this all too familiar behavior.
"What are you doing?" Tenten asked quizzically.
"You're definitely a worthy specimen," Naruto remarked as he continued studying Tenten's features from top to bottom.
"Excuse me?" Tenten replied.
"I've seen many kunoichi-wannabes in my time; however what I'm beholding before me is telling me a whole different story. You have a tomboyish choice of clothing, yet your hairstyle balances you out as it expresses your femininity. You discreetly conceal much of your bodily appeal while allowing onlookers to give attention to your arms, which shows a nicely toned build while still maintaining your womanliness. You possess a lovely yet confident look in your face and those firm brown eyes of yours demonstrate that you're not to be taken lightly at any time. Indeed, everything about you testifies to you being a kunoichi who works hard to be more than just another skirt to chase; just like Tsunade," Naruto complimented, but his last words truly hammered the nails of his earlier words deep.
"You really think I'm like Tsunade-sama?" Tenten asked through her blushing face, happy that someone acknowledged how she wishes to be so much like Tsunade, who's praised as being not only one of the Sannin, but one of the strongest women in history.
"I wouldn't have given you my praise if I didn't believe my own words. I can tell just by looking at you that you're the type who focuses more on her skills as a ninja than how she looks like in the mirror for some boy to see as if she was a walking tease. Though I'm sure Neji's Byakugan can see far more than I can if it was put to use," Naruto added. Neji growled and leaked bloodlust after hearing Naruto's perverted insinuation of the famed and respected bloodline limit of the Hyuuga Clan. Tenten blushed hotly from Naruto's words and looked at Neji while wondering if he ever looked through her clothes like that before.
"I never abused my Byakugan for such inappropriate behavior Tenten. You're my teammate and I have boundaries I set in how I used my bloodline limit. Abusing my bloodline limit for such lewd conduct would shame the Hyuuga name," Neji stated with a hardened tone as he gave an angered sneered at Naruto. No one but Naruto noticed the slight look of disappointment Tenten had on her face.
"Even still, some kunoichi, tomboyish or not, like to be complimented about their womanliness and grace, even if it's by their teammates and friends," Naruto replied.
"Who are you to give me advice?" Neji scoffed.
"Someone with experience and understanding that doesn't need the Byakugan to know a good thing when he sees it, unlike you," Naruto replied confidently. Neji wanted to retort but he chose to calm himself down instead of giving into his anger.
After calming down, Neji replied, "Tenten is a skilled ninja and reliable teammate. Even while we were students at the ninja academy, she demonstrated her dedication to always improving and becoming more than she is. She doesn't need me to tell her that."
"You have Byakugan, yet you're still blind," Naruto remarked as he shook his head.
"Naruto, did you forget why we're here?" Sasuke cut in.
Naruto turned to Sasuke and answered, "Sorry, I got lost in the moment," Naruto turned to his left. "Did you get everything?"
"Every last word and description," a kage bunshin said as he was writing down everything in a notepad. Everyone was now wondering at what point Naruto made a kage bunshin and had him start jotting down notes.
"Wait a minute, you mean to say that you had your clone write down everything that was said and done just now?" a dumbfounded Sakura asked in disbelief as the clone handed Naruto all of his notes and then dispelled.
Naruto smiled as he placed his notepad away and replied, "It had so many great elements and resources for a believable scene! I just couldn't pass it up!"
"You're something else Naruto. Why can't you be more like Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.
"I just don't have what it takes to measure up to Sasuke's magnificence," Naruto mocked before receiving a scowl from Sasuke.
"Sasuke-san, I see that Sakura-san is very taken by you. I desire to show her my flaming youth by challenging you to a match," Lee said.
Sasuke looked at the green Genin incredulously and replied, "You seriously think you can match me?"
"He's this year's Rookie of the Year, Lee. There's a chance that Sasuke could give you a challenge," Naruto said after seeing what was going on.
"Is that right? Well, I suppose challenging him shouldn't be so bad I imagine," Lee figured.
"You think you have what it takes to go against me?" Sasuke asked. Lee nodded.
