Silence, Neji didn't move or blink or say anything
N: Excuse me?
T: You know😞
N: No, I do not.
T: 😞😞😞😞
N: Tenten, why is this question in your head at midnight?
T: I'm curious.
N: You curious about how your name sounds when moaned?
T: I just mean, some name are flowy some are stiff
N: And you need my opinion on that?🤨
T: Exactly.
N: Hmmm🤔🤔🤔, the name Tenten...... It has repetition, rhythm, soft consonants, it's.... Easy to say. Sure, it's moanable.
T: That's your opinion?
N: Well, it's short enough to breath through and I said it enough to know.
T: What?
N: You ask if your name is moanable, and for the records it sounds perfectly fine.
T: You tested it?😏😏😏
N: Yes????
T: Pervert.
N: You ask this question Tenten.
T: Still a pervert, like you are in my Tsukuyomi backthen.
N: What?
T: Omg I can't believe it's a long time ago, but yeah when Mugen Tsukuyomi happened you were.... Kinda pervert.
N: Pervert how?
T: First of all, you were saying ny sport bra is ugly and I should wear a better underwear. And second of all, you used your byakugan to peep on girls!
N: Why is it ugly?
T: What?????
N: Based on what?
T: That's your takeaway??
N: I am trying to understand the logic.
T: There is no logic! It was my dream!
N: And you said I used the Byakugan to… observe women?
T: OBSERVE?! You were peeking, Danna-sama!
N: That would be an invasion of privacy then.
T: Exactly!
N: I would not do that.
T: So you wouldn't judge for what I'm wearing?
N: No.
T: So you're saying my sport bra is not ugly?
N: I mean- I did not- That's not what I said.
T: Seems like you said it was ugly!
N: No, Tenten.
T: Say it then!
N: .......It is not ugly.
T: And you never used your byakugan to peep on girls?
N: No.
T: That suspiciously immediate answer.
N: The Byakugan is meant for perception, strategy, and defense. Misusing it in such a way would be-
T: -a waste of potential?
N: A violation of privacy☺️☺️
T: So you’ve never been curious?
N: No.
T: Not even once?
N: No.
T: Not even-
N: No, Tenten.
T: You didn’t even let me finish.
N: I know where that question was going.
T: You’re not fun.
N: I am not meant to be ‘fun’ in that sense🤨
T: Yourself in my Tsukuyomi would disagrees🤨
N: Your dream version of me lacks discipline.
T: I have a question.
N: What is it again, Tenten?
T: Have you ever met Jiraiya-sama and help his research?
N: So you are suggesting, that I collaborate with Jiraiya-sama… in violating women’s privacy?!🤨
T: I'm just curious if he ever ask you that😭 Besides, if you helped a legendary sannin I guess he offers you a big deal.
N: Absolutely not.
T: So you’d just reject him like that? Straight to his face?
N: Yes.
T: No hesitation?
N: No, that research is already questionable.
T: I guess the real you is WAY BETTER than you are in my Tsukuyomi, I'm glad🤔
N: And for the record, if I wished to look at you I would not need to hide behind my Byakugan.

Summary:
Tenten had been pulling away for weeks. Neji noticed. She told him it was nothing. It wasn't nothing, of course.
It takes a cancelled teashop date, two teammates who know Neji better than she gives them credit for, one shared mission, and a rainstorm with bad timing, before she finally stops stepping away.
"You just would not let me stand beside you." Neji said.
• Neji’s posture is always perfectly straight like he was trained to never bend and she would leans on him like he is a furniture
• Tenten may be clingy sometimes but at one random night, Neji would hug her and pull her closer while she would complain it's too hot, he said 'but you are warm'
• Tenten once asked Neji to hold her weapons for a moment. She meant one weapon. He took all seven weapons there without a word
• Tenten would falls asleep mid-rant, right in the middle of complaining about something she was very passionate about and Neji doesn’t interrupt. He just watches her words trail off into silence and thinks… it’s kind of cute
• They walk in the hall of grocery store, and then an international problem happens.
Tenten: Look! A set of knife!
Neji: We already have 50 at home
Tenten: But this one is different
Neji: You said it everytime. It's a knife, Tenten.
Tenten: No! You don't understand
• We all know Neji used to believe fate was unchangeable, like something decided long before he had a say in it. Tenten never argued with him about it but somehow as times flew by, she prove him that he could choose his fate by just exist
• In their house, Neji doesn’t decorate his space with many things but on his desk, there’s a framed photo of Tenten in her wedding kimono. And on another table, a photo from their wedding day.
• I personally believe Neji and Tenten have a healthy relationship, not because they never argue but because they always find their way back to each other
• People say in every couple, one is fire and the other is water. If Neji is fhe fire, Tenten would be gasoline, acetone, alcohol, wood or cooking oil
• Neji is a light sleeper. So once they have a newborn, he naturally takes the night shift. He wakes at the smallest sound before the baby even starts crying and just let Tenten rest
it's filler, but the way tenten treats ranmaru in the curry of life arc i believe is the closest we'll get to knowing how she grew up:
ranmaru literally can't walk, and she's telling the group they should "leave this weakling" and saying she hates people like him who can't take care of themselves. so it kind of gives an idea that tenten had been taking care of herself since she was little and that she views other kids incapable of doing so as "weak" even though, yknow, they're children and should have someone raising them.
a little unrelated: i also think this scene shows us how she even had a bond with neji prior to the chunin exams. she shares a similar disdain towards "weaklings" and i assume, because of things neji has told her about hinata, that she hated hinata as well until things started to change. really... their hater attitudes made them friends and that's beautiful ❤️
N: Tenten, that technique is not something one casually tries out of curiosity
T: But you always say it’s precise, right? So just... be precise
N: That is exactly why I am refusing
T: You’ve never wondered? Like what it actually feels like?
N: No
T: You’re lying
N: I'm not, even if I were, that doesn't mean I will use it on you in the middle of the night
Tenten pouted. Actually pouted. And that, more than anything, was dangerous
N: ...Tenten
T: Just once
N: No
T: I trust you
N: That is precisely why I should say no
She scooted closer, closing the space between them completely. Stare at him with a total cute puppy eyes
T: Danna-samaaa…
Neji closed his eyes for a brief moment, like he was gathering the last fragments of his self-control
N: You are incredibly persistent
T: Thank you
N: That was not a compliment but fine, but only lightly and you will not complain afterward
T: I won’t!
N: You say that now
His two fingers were raised, his chakra flowing in his veins and showing the deadly hyuga technique. She held out her hand and he guided his juuken under her nails carefully so that it didn't hit her chakra points
T: AAAAAHHH!
N: Are you okay?
T: THAT'S SO COOL!
N: You're the only one said it was cool😭
T: Again😁
N: No.
T: Alright then
Now they both lying on their futon
T: Danna-sama, be honest
N: About what?
T: Have you ever has a crush on sakura?
N: 🤔, I don't know I don't remember
T: How can you not remember?😭
N: I don’t particularly remember it clearly, but... perhaps. Briefly. It wasn't like a long term crush cause everybody likes her you know? Even Lee likes her backthen
T: What?😭 So you like her because you're fomo?
N: Fomo?
T: Fear of missing out, you saw everybody like her and be like "yeah, me too"
N: That sounds ridiculous
T: But it's true😁
N: Alright then since we're being honest here, have you ever has a crush on Sasuke?
T: Well, I did. But so what? He's popular and he's like the template crush of the entire generation
N: So you were also fomo🤔, I see
T: 😭😭😭, that was a crazy days backthen
N: Apparantely
T: Danna-sama, I have a question
N: What is it?
T: What’s something that used to confuse you about me, but now it makes sense?
N: Hmmm🤔, I have one
T: What's that?
N: Listen, I used to think everybody is an idiot
T: Uhh.. okay?
N: Except you
T: Wait, I think you’re only saying that because you were in a team with Lee and Gai-sensei
N: That's not the point
T: It is a valid factor
N: No, you were the only one who could follow my reasoning without unnecessary explanation, I could speak to you logically and you would understand
T: Really?🤔
N: And, you would respond with something that actually made sense
T: Wow. High praise😏
N: But there was something else
T: Hmm?
N: Backthen, when we start talking like before we are dating, we were hanging out and then you asked me who I was interested in? Cause Lee once mention that after our chuunin exam in Sunagakure
T: I was
N: Yes, and I describe someone quiet clearly but somehow, you concluded that I was speaking about another woman
T: No, wait hold on😭
N: You really stop talking to me after and say to my friends that I have a girlfriend
T: OH-
N: Well, that makes much more sence now cause everybody really is an idiot
T: Excuse me? I thought you really had a girlfriend! You were being so specific!
N: I was describing you
T: How was I supposed to know that??
N: You asked me directly
T: And you answered like a riddle
N: It was not a riddle
T: It sounded like one, you should’ve just said my name!
The smell of antiseptic did little to cover the scent of blood. Tenten had stopped noticing the difference hours ago. Or maybe she hadn’t and simply chose not to think about it.
T: Hold still
Her voice came out steady, almost too calm, as her hands pressed down on a deep cut along a villager’s arm. The man winced. She didn’t. Her fingers were already moving.
“Tenten, you should rest.” Said one hospital staff.
T: I’m fine
A lie. An obvious one. Her shoulders ached. Her vision blurred at the edges if she moved too fast. Her hands steady, and however the next patient was already being carried in. So she kept going.
Neji and Tenten were sent on a mission with a few jonin to help a village that had once helped Konoha, Kurogawa-sato . The village had just finished a war and was still unstable. Neji and the other jonin were assigned to handle the remaining conflict and fight against the enemy alliance that threatened the Kurogawa-sato. Meanwhile, Tenten was given a different role. Because there were no medical ninja available, she was assigned to help the injured villagers and support their daily lives.
Tenten was still in medical-nin training, Tenten did her best to take care of the civilians. Neji and Konoha-gakure trusted her completely, even when their paths separated during the mission. Her medical jutsu was not Tsunade level or Sakura/Shizune level, but still decent.
On the other side, The last of the enemy fell without a sound. For a moment, no one moved. Only the wind passed through the broken trees. Neji’s Byakugan slowly faded. The world dimmed back into its normal colors.
Shota: Area’s clear, we should move before it gets dark
Neji didn’t answer immediately. His gaze swept the surroundings one last time by instinct and habit, searching for anything that didn’t belong.
Yuta: There’s a village not too far from here, we can rest there for the night
A few nods. No objections. They were all too tired for that. The walk was quieter than usual. No one had the energy left for conversation. Only the sound of footsteps against dirt, uneven breathing, and the occasional rustle of leaves overhead. Neji walked slightly ahead. By the time they reached the village, the sky had begun to darken into shades of deep blue. Warm lights flickered from within the houses.
Neji wasn’t planning to wander, he told himself that. Just a short walk to clear his mind. The village was quiet. Too quiet compared to the battlefield. Only the faint sound of footsteps and distant voices behind closed doors. But then, he stopped.
A small shop, dimly lit. A Cloth hanging near the entrance, swaying slightly with the evening breeze. His eyes settled on one piece. Red, simple, but carefully made. A qipao shirt. Neji stepped closer. His fingers hovered for a brief moment, then brushed against it.
And just like that, his mind betrayed him. He could see it too clearly. The way the dress would fall against her frame. The way the fabric would follow her movements, sharp, controlled, but never stiff.
N: Tenten.....
The words were barely audible. More thought than voice. For a moment, Neji simply stood there, fingers still resting against the fabric. Not thinking about the mission or the battlefield. Just... her
His hand lowered, then reached again, this time more certain. He took the piece from its place without hesitation.
N: I’ll take this one
As the fabric was folded carefully and placed into his hands, Neji’s grip tightened just slightly. Not enough for anyone to notice.
~Three days later~
The battlefield had already gone quiet. Not peaceful cause it's never that. Just empty in the way a storm leaves things behind. Broken, scattered, and wrong. Smoke still curled lazily from the ground. The metallic scent of blood clung to the air, thick enough to taste. One of the jonin wiped his blade clean against what remained of his sleeve, exhaling through his teeth.
Yuta: We’re done here
Shota: Enemies are wiped out
Yuta: ...Where’s Neji?
They found him a few meters away. At first, he didn’t look like himself. Not the composed prodigy of, not the man who moved like certainty itself. He was on the ground, one arm twisted beneath him, the other barely keeping him from collapsing fully into the dirt. His had come loose, streaked with dust and blood.
Well, Too much blood.
“Neji!”
No response. One of the jonin crouched quickly, fingers hovering before pressing against his shoulder.
Shota: Hey, stay with me
A faint shift. Barely there. His Byakugan wasn’t active, but his pale eyes were open unfocused, distant, like he was looking through something instead of at it.
Yuta: We need to move him, he’s not going to last out here
Shota: Agreed. We take him back to immediately
They moved fast after that with efficient, practiced. One of them slid an arm under Neji’s shoulders, another securing his side where the worst of the bleeding refused to stop. Neji inhaled sharply. It sounded wrong like it hurt just to breathe.
Shota: Easy, don’t fight it
Neji: No.
It was quiet. So quiet they almost missed it. The one holding him froze. Neji’s fingers twitched weakly against the fabric of the jonin’s sleeve, barely enough to be felt.
Neji: ...not... Konoha
Yuta: You’re not in any condition to argue, we’re taking you home
Neji: ...Kurogawa.. Sato
The name landed strangely in the air. A glance passed between them.
Yuta: That’s not even close, we’ll lose time-
Neji: ...there.
Shota: Neji, listen. You need medical treatment. Now. Konoha is the fastest-
Neji: Tenten.
Just her name. Silence fell heavier than before. Yuta exhaled slowly, dragging a hand down his face.
Yuta: You’ve got to be kidding me-
Shota: He’s delirious
Neji: ...please
No one said it out loud, but they all felt it. The unspoken understanding that moved between shinobi who had seen this before. What if this is his last wish before his death? That's always been dilemma to a Shinobi world.
The one supporting Neji looked down at him again. His breathing was uneven now, each inhale shorter than the last. His eyes had lost even more focus, lashes trembling faintly as if staying conscious was something he had to fight for with every second.
They had no choice, they moved faster than before. The forest blurred around them as they leapt from branch to branch, the rhythm of movement steady but tighter now, more urgent. One of them kept a hand pressed firmly against Neji’s side, trying to slow the bleeding that refused to listen.
The hospital in Kurogawa-sato never truly slept. Lantern light pooled along the wooden floors, warm but dim, leaving the corners in quiet shadow. Tenten stood near one of the open windows, sleeves rolled just enough to keep them out of the way. Her hands smelled faintly of antiseptic and iron. She didn’t seem to notice anymore.
T: And change the bandage again in an hour
She said, tying off the last knot with practiced precision. The younger medic nodded quickly. “Yes, Tenten-san.” She stepped back, eyes scanning over the patient one more time. Only when she was satisfied to exhale.
The sound of panting running could be heard in the hospital corridor. Takumi approached Tenten.
Takumi: Tenten-san, I want to comfirm you can go home now
Tenten: Go home? What do you mean?
Takumi: The office told me your husband waiting for you
Tenten: My husband? But he will come home straight away if his mission is complete, besides I can work overtime today
Takumi: Tenten-san, I think it's the best for you to go home
Her mind blank, a quiet worry suddenly appear. What happened? She thought.
The house was too quiet. Not the comfortable kind. Not the kind Tenten was used to. Tenten had barely set her things down when the knock came sharp, urgent, wrong for this hour. The door slid open. Two jonin stood there. No greeting and no explanation.
Tenten: What happened?
Yuta: He’s alive
Not he’s fine, not don’t worry, but he is Alive.
His body was lying there on the floor, full of blood and dirt. He still wake up, barely. Yuta and Shota immediately go outside to give them space. Tenten’s hands were already working, fingers pressing lightly against Neji’s neck, then his wrist. She find his pulse. Weak, uneven, but there. Her eyes moved next.
Blood.
She reached for cloth, pressing it firmly against his side first, the worst of it. The fabric soaked through almost instantly.
T: Damn it.
Not emotional, just factual. Her other hand moved, gathering chakra instinctively, green light flickering to life, unstable at first, then tightening as she focused. She wasn’t the best. Not like the top medics. She just knew enough. Her hand hovered for a fraction of a second, then pressed down. Neji’s body reacted. A faint, strained inhale like his lungs resisted the effort.
T: Stay still
Her chakra wavered slightly. Focused. The bleeding slowed but not enough. Tenten clicked her tongue, pulling away briefly to tear fabric from her own sleeve, replacing the soaked cloth with something cleaner, tighter. Her movements weren’t graceful. But they were relentless. She didn’t stop. Didn’t let herself think beyond the next step. At some point, her hands were slick.
She didn’t notice when the blood transferred onto her fingers, her wrists, staining the front of her clothes where she leaned too close and too often. Didn’t notice when her sleeve darkened. Her voice was low now, more to herself than to him. She shifted position, one hand bracing his shoulder, the other channeling chakra deeper but this time riskier and less controlled.
The bleeding eased. Not stopped. But no longer spilling out of him like before. Tenten exhaled through her nose, sharp and controlled, immediately moving to the next wound. Smaller, but still dangerous.
Time blurred. There was no clear moment when it shifted. Just.... At some point, his breathing didn’t sound as broken. At some point, the pulse under her fingers didn’t feel like it might disappear between one beat and the next. And at some point, her hands slowed.
His heartbeat are now stable. She stayed like that for a moment longer. Her hands, still stained, hovered for a second before lowering to her lap. She reached forward again, this time slower, brushing the hair away from his face. Just… so she could see him properly. His breathing continued. Tenten finally allowed herself to stop moving.
Thirty minutes passed. Neji sat propped against the wall, a folded blanket braced behind his back. His posture wasn’t perfect, couldn’t be but it was controlled. Shota watched him closely.
Shota: You shouldn’t be sitting up yet
Neji: I’m fine
Yuta: We secured the area. No survivors on their side. The objective-
Neji: -is complete
Neji exhaled once, shallow but even.
Neji: You’ve done your part. Return to konoha and report directly.
Both of them straightened instinctively. “Understood.” Neji’s eyes lowered again, the tension in his shoulders easing just a fraction.
Neji: Thank you for your cooperation
The jonin nodded once, no more questions. They turned, heading toward the door. Where, just outside Tenten stood waiting. Yuta and Shota bow at Tenten before they return to Konoha.
The door slid open softly. Tenten stepped in, pausing just long enough to take in the room. That was the first thing she notice he was awake.
T: …You look less like a corpse
Neji: Your standards are low
Tenten huffed faintly, crossing her arms.
Tenten: You’re alive. That’s already generous.
She moved closer, stopping a step away, eyes flicking briefly over the bandages she’d wrapped earlier.
Tenten: They holding?
Neji: They are
Tenten: Good
Another pause. Somewhere outside, the wind brushed lightly against the walls, soft and distant.
Tenten: The jonin left?
Neji: They did
Tenten: Mm
Neji: It’s calmer here
Tenten: Kurogawa always is at night, No noise. No one yelling. No Lee breaking something
That earned the faintest shift in Neji’s expression. Not quite a smile but close enough to count.
Tenten: You should rest
Neji: I am
Tenten: You’re sitting
Neji: I’m resting while sitting
She gave him a look and he held it.
Neji: Tenten
Tenten: What
Neji: My bag, bring it here
Tenten: You suddenly need your stuff now?
Neji: Yes, please😁
Tenten: Yeah yeah, if you pass out again I'm not dragging you twice
She muttered, walking over and picking it up before setting it down beside him. Neji ignored that, already reaching into the bag with slower, more careful movements than usual. He pulled something out, folded fabric.
Neji: Your clothes.....
Neji’s gaze flicked to her briefly, but pointed. She followed it. Down her clothes, darkened. Stiff in places. Blood.
Neji: You didn't change
Tenten: I was busy keeping you alive
Neji: I bought this earlier
He holding the folded clothes out to her.
Tenten: You what?
Neji: It’s clean
Another pause, She took it from him slowly, turning it slightly in her hands like she was checking if he was serious.
Tenten: You went shopping, and still ended up like this
Neji: I had time
Tenten: You almost died
Tenten stared at him for a second longer, then exhaled through her nose. A brief pause as she stepped toward the other side of the room, fingers already pulling at the edge of her sleeve.
Tenten: ...Thanks
Neji didn’t answer, But he didn’t look away either
The fabric rustled softly as she stepped back, clean, dry. No weight of dried blood pulling at the fabric anymore. For a moment, she just stood there. Then she walked back and lowered herself beside him. Neji glanced at her briefly. Her fingers brushed faintly over the new fabric, then stilled.
Tenten: ...Thank you
This time, it wasn’t thrown out casually, It landed softer and sincere. Neji’s gaze shifted to her properly now. For a second, he didn’t say anything and just looked.
Neji: You’re welcome
There was the faintest shift in his eyes, something lighter. Tenten exhaled softly, looking away for a second.
Tenten: …You’re weird today
Neji: Am I?
Tenten: Yes
Silence settled again, he stared at her without even realizing it. She's beautiful. The line just pop up in his mind. Tenten barely notice he was staring until he leaned in and he brush his lips to her
Tenten: Did you just-
Her hand shot forward on instinct, shoving lightly at his chest. Neji inhaled sharply. His body tensed, shoulders pulling in slightly as his hand moved instinctively toward his side. The reaction was immediate that made her expression dropped. Did I hurt him? Oh, shit. She thought
Then, he looked at her. For a split second he smirk with a sly and mischievous expression
Tenten: Are you kidding me????
Neji: Maybe😏
Tenten stared at him before smacked his arm. Not hard but enough.
Tenten: You’re insane
Neji exhaled faintly, something almost like a quiet laugh slipping through. The tension gone. Just like that Tenten shook her head, muttering under her breath, but she didn’t move away this time. Didn’t put distance back. Instead, she settled beside him again, closer than before shoulder lightly brushing his.
Tenten: Don’t do that again
Neji: I won’t
Tenten: Liar
Neji: Probably
Tenten didn’t say it out loud, but the feeling settled quietly in her chest. He was still here. Still breathing, still stubborn, still himself in that calm, infuriating way. She had seen how close it was, how easily things could have gone differently, and yet here he was, teasing her, looking at her like nothing had changed.
The room remained still, wrapped in the softness of the night, as if the world outside had decided to give them a moment to keep. No words were needed anymore. Just the quiet presence of two people who had come back from the edge of something unspoken and stayed.
•) Tenten talks to her weapons like they’re coworkers and gonna say things like don't embarrassed me today and if she misses once: wow, betrayal
•) If she visits someone’s house, she instinctively scans for something, which is:
Entry points
weak walls
"Good throwing angles"
then casually sits like nothing happened.
•) When her mind gets too loud, Tenten doesn’t talk about it. Instead, she sharpens her weapons. Steel against stone, over and over until her thoughts finally fall into place.
•) She acts like she doesn’t pay attention like nothing really bothers her. But actually, she notices everything
•) She doesn't really brag about it but her accuracy is insane. She says I bet I can hit that leaf before it falls (She absolutely can)
•) She would absolutely names all of her weapons. Every. Single. One😭 not because she has to but because each one matters to her
•) After her chuunin exam in Sunagakure I genuinely concern about how she actually worries a lot about being “useful enough” compared to others. She struggles with feeling like she has to prove her worth constantly
•) If something feels “off” she notices before anyone else but might not immediately say it
•) She’s lowkey the type to prepare backup plans for her backup plans
•) When she’s upset, she won’t talk about it she’ll just.... clean, fix things, or train harder
•) There are nights she stays up practicing until her hands hurt so if there are some jutsu ever tried to imitate her, you'd know. Because the real Tenten's hand will have bruises from practice and hold her weapon
•) She prefers practical gifts over sentimental ones, something she can actually use, but the sentimental ones? She never throws them away
Neji: Sometimes, women ask questions that don’t follow logic
Tenten: Is that your official conclusion?
Neji: It is an observation, sometimes my friend told me about how their girl ask them some hypothetical situations, impossible choices, questions with no correct answer
Tenten: And you don’t like those?
Neji: I don't hate it but, I don't know you never ask me one
Tenten: I mean, I didn't really feel like I should question you something like that, but it would be interesting i guess and if I did, though what would you do?
Neji: ....... I would answer it(?)
Tenten: Even if it didn't make sense?
Neji: Yes, I suppose some girls maybe just want some sincere answer
Tenten: Then maybe I should ask one😏
Neji: What?
Tenten: I have some of that question, my friend also tell me how they ask their boyfriend and it's hilarious
Neji: And that is?????
Tenten: Alright, would you still love me if I was a worm?
Neji: A worm??????
Tenten: Yes
Neji: Why would you be a worm? (his logic didn't get it at all)
Tenten: Well I don't know, maybe some jutsu, some curse, life, I don't know
Neji: (Thinking like REALLY thinking) I would protect you(?)
Tenten: What do you mean?
Neji: I would make sure nobody stepped on you and put you in a jar
Tenten: In a jar?😭
Neji: Yes????
Tenten: Alright I have more
Neji: You have more question?
Tenten: Do you love me because I'm pretty or do you think I'm pretty because you love me?
Neji: (blinked, stared, froze) What kind of question is that?🤨
Tenten: Just answer it
Neji: It's illogical?
Tenten: Just answer it, Neji
Neji: I think.... You're pretty because I love you
Tenten: So you're saying I'm actually ugly?
Neji: What? No.
Tenten: So you're saying I'm secretly ugly but your feelings cover it up?
Neji: See? You twist the logic again
Tenten: 😁😁😁, if I had an identical twins would you still be attracted to me? Like me and my identical sister are EXACTLY the same, so would you?
Neji: *thinking* if I say yes, you'll accuse me of being unfaithfull, if I say no you'll accuse me for not loving you
Tenten: THAT'S THE POINT😁
Neji: Here me out, even if you have identical twins that looks exactly like you, you wouldn't be the same person, right? You wouldn't laugh the same or smile the same or keep me awake with impossible question
Tenten: Alright then, here me out. If we got divorced-
Neji: We're not getting divorce
Tenten: Hypothetically! If we got divorce would you get back with your ex?
Neji: If we got divorce, aren't you gonna be my ex? Then yes I will get back to my ex
Tenten: Oh come on you're not fun
Neji: (smirk, smile in win) you got more?
Tenten: If you had a girlfriend named Hikaru, what would you called her?
Neji: .......I don't have a girlfriend named Hikaru????
Tenten: I said IF
Neji: 🤔, if I had a girlfriend named Hikaru.... I would.... Probably..... Called her by her name
Tenten: So you do have a girlfriend named Hikaru?
Neji: Because that's the name you gave her in the question
Tenten: Oh? So you admit you know her?
Neji: Tenten-
Tenten: Ehehe, you married my impossible question btw😁
Neji: Yeah unfortunately
Tenten: So you love me but unfortunately?🤨 wow, imagine Hikaru hearing that
Neji: You're unbelieveable
Tenten: I have two more question
Neji: I'm listening
Tenten: If I'm about to die and the only thing you could do to save me is to kiss another girl, what would you do?
Neji: What????????? Let me ask you tenten, how is that logical? How can I kiss someone else to save you?
Tenten: (laugh) so you can't answer it?
Neji: (won't give up and want to figure out the answer, thinking really hard for a sec) alright here me out
Tenten: Yes?
Neji: I will go to another universe and find yourself in that universe like Tenten earth 2.0 and kiss her and then I get back to our universe so now you're safe
Tenten: (burst out laugh) what?😭 that's not logical
Neji: Who said the only thing that could save you is to kiss another person is logical?
Tenten: Right, okay one more question. If I'm in a coma and then I have a clone, like that clone is literally me so would you be together with my clone?
Neji: .......You can't do shadow clone jutsu if you're in a coma?????
Tenten: Come on play along😁
Neji: Yes? I would date your clone I guess, that's still you right?
Tenten: Right, and if 5 years later I woke up and lost my memories, would you get back to me and leave my clone that obviously have 5 years memories with you which I don't have
Neji: (stratch his forehead) alright I would get back to you and I will do my own shadow clone to date your clone instead
Tenten: (laugh) okay your answer is sound genius though😭
Neji: I get that how it feels like to be asking things like that, thanks btw (shake her hand)
