Tsunade rose and said goodbye to Sakura as the young Jounin sat in the waters and thought about possible other guys to date.

"Let's see, Choji's available. But not really my type. Shino's nice, but some of his bugs just creep me out. Kiba is inlove with Hinata, so that would just make things too weird. Whose left?" Sakura thought. Sakura rolled her head and the last two guys her age came to mind. "Lee and Neji. It's been, gosh, six months since Neji and Tenten split up. And from what I heard, it was a mutual agreement that they were better as friends than boyfriend/girlfriend. I wonder if he'd go out with me? Well, only one way to find out." Sakura rose and went to get dressed.

"She's gone," Sasuke said, "Let's get closer and follow her some more."

"Nah," Naruto said.

"You don't want to know what she's up to?" Sasuke asked.

"Is it any of our business? I mean, come on Sasuke, what are we? Two perverted guys who stalk our friend to the spas?" Naruto asked. "You can be it, but leave me out of it." And then Naruto vanished just as Sakura left the main room and was on the road again.

Elsewhere, at the Hyuuga Manor, both Neji and Hinata were hard at work. The jounin Neji was training the chunin Hinata and Hanabi at the same time. Today, they were sparing against the other. Hinata had come a long way in terms of her Byakugan skill. Hanabi was equally gifted. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"I'll be right back, take a break you two," Neji said, leaving for the main door. Hinata and Hanabi were worn out today from the workout.

"You're getting better Sister," Hanabi said, "Maybe Naruto will finally notice you."

"And maybe Lee will notice you," Hinata shot back quickly. Both girls stared at each other and then looked away. Hinata was happy when she found out about her sister's crush on Rock Lee. Using it usually shut her up, as it wasn't as well known as her own interests.

Neji opened the door. "Oh, what are you doing here?" Neji asked his visitor.

"Hey Neji, I came to see you," Naruto said, "I have a question that I think you can help me with. May I come in?"

"Sure," Neji said. Neji was confused. Rarely did Naruto ever come to the Hyuuga manor. Even more rare was when Naruto and Neji had a talk that wasn't about a recent mission. A talk about a private nature was unheard of. "This way to my quarters," Neji said, leading Naruto. As they passed the sparring ring, Neji called out, "We're done for today. Get some rest." His cousins looked up and saw Naruto walk by with Neji.

"Naruto? What's he doing here?" Hinata said quietly.

"Maybe he wants to ask Father's permission to date you?" Hanabi chided. Hinata could only wonder.

Naruto now sat in Neji's living room. He was waiting for Neji to bring some tea in.

"Now, what did you want to talk about?" Neji asked.

"I wanted to know how your relationship with Tenten affected your missions," Naruto said, "And you with Lee."

"I see," Neji said, "Well, when we were dating, I had to put my relationship on the back burner when I was on a mission. And with Lee, at first it was difficult. But eventually, we got to a status quo. He must of felt like a third wheel sometimes. But he never showed it."

"I see," Naruto said, sipping the tea before him.

"This wouldn't have to do with you and Sasuke liking Sakura, would it?" Neji asked.

"Yeah, it does," Naruto said, "I don't want to pressure Sakura, but I don't want to lose to Sasuke here either."

"Would it really be a lose if Sakura was the one who wanted him? If you wanted Sakura's happiness above all, wouldn't that be more important than an age old pissing contest with Sasuke?" Neji asked.

"You're right, Neji. Thanks," Naruto said.

"You're welcome. Guy told Lee and me the same thing a few years ago about Tenten," Neji said.

"I might have to use them on Sasuke as well," Naruto said, laughing as he stood up. "Thanks a lot Neji. I'll see you around." Naruto walked and let himself out.

Outside the doors of the Hyuuga Manor, Sakura stood and knocked.
