Summary: My two friends and me get transported into the Naruto world. What kind of chaos can ensue when a hater of Naruto, a fan of Naruto, and a little bit of a ditz end up in Konoha?
Disclaimer: If you're reading this you know I'm not Kishimoto-sensei so Naruto and all of its characters don't belong to me sadly, but I do own Kris and Mandi so there.

Chapter 8
Sparring Matches!
"ARE THE YOUTHFUL OPPONENTS READY!"
"Hai!"
"Hn."
"THEN 3… 2… 1… HAJIME!" (A/N: Begin!)
And the spars began.
Even though I knew how fast Neji was, I still wasn't prepared for the swiftness of the open-palm Jyuuken strikes that were headed right for me. I quickly tried to dodge the strikes by ducking but was still hit by glancing blows that, if it were a serious fight, would of probably of sealed manytenketsu (chakra points).
'He's so fast!"
I tried a right hook toward his face in retaliation, but he blocked it with his hand and counter-attacked with the other. The blow hit my left arm, close to my shoulder.
'I'm not going to win in close-range battle… I need to take it long-range… but that would mean weapons… and I have absolutely no clue how to use them… well maybe the shuriken…" I thought to myself, backing away from his deadly hands and taking out dummy shuriken.
'I've made and thrown paper-shuriken and the dummy ones aren't too much heavier and they shouldn't fly too differently…"
I threw the shuriken and they flew quickly toward their target. Neji seeing the weapons coming toward him dodged them and said, "Is that the best you can do? If it is you should just give up, Fate has already decided this match."
"Will you just shut up?! I'm new at this!" I took out a kunai (AN: I'm getting rid of the word dummy, just because it doesn't take as long to type…) and tried my chances throwing it… It missed its target by a mile.
"Don't even start!" I yelled out when he opened his mouth for another taunt.
'Okay, stick with shuriken!"
All of a sudden, with a burst of speed, Neji appeared in front of me aiming a blow toward my heart. (AN: He's not really using chakra, it's just sparring!) Startled, I kicked out with my right foot and it connected… where no male should be kicked. Lee and Gai winced with sympathy. Taking advantage of my accidental kick, I placed a kunai on Neji's neck while he was crouched down in pain.
"WINNER LIZZIE!" Gai said ending the match.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! You just appeared out of no where!" I said as soon as the match was called, checking to see if he was all right. He glared at me in reply, a glare promising revenge.
I gulped and walked over to my friends quickly. Mandi just looked horrified, Tenten looked shocked and Kris looked like she would just burst with laughter. Finally the strain of bottling up her laughter made her explode.
"HAHAHA! OH MY GOD! YOU KICKED HIM IN THE BALLS!" She said laughing hysterically.
"It was an accident! I didn't mean to! I panicked!" I said blushing utterly embarrassed.
"Still, that was one of the funniest things I've seen!" She said calming down slightly, laughing occasionally.
"I can't believe you beat Neji…" Tenten said still slightly shocked.
"It was just a fluke… It's not like I'm going to ever be able to do it again…ever…" I said blushing.
"Still, you beat him fair and square. Congrats." Tenten said congratulating me.
"I can't believe you hit him there" Mandi said wide-eyed.
"Well it's not like I meant to!"
"I know I'm just… surprised."
"NEXT FIGHT! TENTEN VS KRIS!" Gai announced truly happy with the previous match's result, although it had an unorthodox end.
"Yay! Go Kris!" Mandi said cheering on our friend.
"Even though we've become friends, I'm not going to hold back!" Tenten said, catching Kris's eye.
"I wouldn't have it any other way!" Kris replied looking at her with confidence.
"ALRIGHT! ON THREE! 3…2…1…HAJIME!" Gai announced, lowering his hand down.
Tenten stared the fight immediately, throwing five kunai at Kris, toward various lethal points.
"OH MY GOD! She's trying to kill me!" She exclaimed falling to the ground, avoiding the kunai altogether.
"THAT'S THE POINT!" I yelled back to her.
"It's called SPARRING! Not 'It's time to kill Kris!'" she yelled back.
All of the sudden about 15 more various faux weapons flew at her, startling her making her fall over again, but this time a majority (14 out of 15) made their mark.
"Hey! Your opponent is me! Don't get distracted! Shinobi rule #1!" Tenten said, pulling more dummy weapons from seemingly nowhere. (A/N: Really, Where do all those weapons come from? They all can't be inside kunai and shuriken pouches…)
She released the weapons, and Kris tried to jump aside avoid them, but Tenten expecting the movement threw them in such a way that most of them hit their targets anyway. Then, a miraculous thing happened, Kris actually caught one of the dummy scythes that Tenten threw.
"WHAT! HOW'D SHE DO THAT!?!" Mandi exclaimed, stating what everyone else was thinking.
Kris just stood there for about five seconds, wide-eyed, until she came to her senses and threw the scythe right back at Tenten. Tenten, being an experienced kunoichi, caught the scythe, and seemingly disappeared.
Kris's eyes went wide, she looked around trying to find where she went and then Tenten appeared behind her, holding the scythe at her neck.
"WINNER TENTEN!" Gai exclaimed lowering his hand.
"HOW'D YOU DO THAT?!?! THE SCYTHE WAS LIKE "WHOOSH!" AND YOU WERE LIKE "BAM! HA! I CAUGHT YOU!" AND THEN YOU THREW IT LIKE "VOOM!" HOW DID YOU DO IT?!?!" Mandi exclaimed voice what everyone was thinking… although many wouldn't admit it.
"I really don't know… It was like… an instinct! BUT THAT WAS AWESOME! Other than the terrifying, life threatening parts; that was exciting! My heart's still racing! Let's go again!" Kris said… being serious in the beginning and ending with actual hearts in her eyes.
I sweat dropped at her enthusiasm, but gave her a smile of support.
"So do you like the idea of being a ninja now?" I asked her with a knowing look.
"Oh yeah! If we're taught how to properly fight with all these weapons, Hell yeah!" She said with a sadistic look in her eye.
The sweat drop on my head lowered a few more inches.
"YOSH! LET THE NEXT YOUTHFUL BATTLE BETWEEN MANDI AND LEE BEGIN!" Gai said very proud of his various students.
"Um… Sorry, but I give up… I can't win against Lee if he's any as good as his friends…" Mandi said very nervously.
Gai's smile lost some of it's luster.
"HOW UN-YOUTHFUL OF YOU MANDI! I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU… BUT IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE TO ADMIT YOUR WEAKNESS! PART OF BEING A HIGH RANKING NINJA IS TO KNOW WHEN TO GIVE UP!" Gai's teeth sparkled blindingly again.
'What?! When I tried to do something like that, he went and put me on a guilt trip!' I thought spitefully to myself.
"SO, MY YOUTHFUL TEMPORARY PUPIL'S, TODAY'S TRAINING IS DONE FOR YOU! TOMORROW MY ETERNAL RIVAL KAKASHI WOULD LIKE TO TRAIN WITH YOU!" Gai said doing the good-guy pose. We all sweat dropped at that.
