Doing nothing to hide the sinister smirk tugging at her lips, the kunoichi did her best to feign innocence on the matter. "I don't know what you're talking about~"
And she might have done a good job of it, if only it were someone who did not know her quite so well.
There was only a moment's pause - a single space of a breath - before they both began at almost the exact same time. There was only a split second of time in which Lee was the first to jump out of the gate. Understandable. He was the fastest of the team, rivaled only by the original Green Beast, himself.
But where she was weaker in speed, the kunoichi excelled in precision and efficiency. Weapons were her specialty, after all. No one could ever best her in knife-work. And that was her advantage. Because while Lee would need to moderate his speed while he prepared the fruit, Tenten could fully trust in her skill and abilities to dice and chop and peel expertly with little conscious thought. All the while pushing to work faster and harder to make up for those milliseconds lost from the start of the race.
And what a race it was, with blurs of motion and flashes of knives in the late morning light.
The downside to both parties being so focused on their own work was in determining who finished first. Especially when both seemed to finish at relatively the same time. Because when Tenten had finished with her own work and eagerly lifted her head to see where the competition stood, she was met with an equally anxious teammate looking over to do the same.
