NaruTen: Leading The Way (Close-up)

Naruto (smiles slyly): Lead the way then. I'll obey my gorgeous lady.

Tenten (chuckles): Of course you will. What man wouldn't?

Naruto (sly smiles turns into a soft one): As long as it is you, Ten-chan.

Tenten (gives soft smile back at Naruto as she leads him up the pool steps): Same here, Naruto-kun.

The mini-story above is what I imagined would fit this great scene, which is cropped from a commissioned art done for me by the talented . I found this photo ( media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/medi… ), which I knew would be ideal for a Naruto/Tenten scene, and after I gave it to Mario, with some additional instructions, Mario came up with this superb scene of the couple. I love it. Everything came out looking superb, from great angle of view, the background, and the characters, whose expressions show trust and love. I can not ask for anything better.

Tenten's hairstyle is not new. I borrowed it from cactuar, who created the hairstyle and showed it in some of her art ( fav.me/d2z7m1o ). This hairstyle still keeps Tenten's twin buns, yet it makes her look more mature as an adult should look in her 20's. The hairstyle and the bikini (which is cropped from the single swimsuit design seen in the reference photo) has Tenten looking quite gorgeous.

Now this is just a cropped close-up. To see the full scene, which shows more of the lovely background and the full bodies of the characters as they walk out of the pool, I highly recommend to check it out at mario-reg's page by clicking on the thumbnail below. If you love this close-up scene, you'll love the full scene. Trust me.

So there you have it.  A gorgeous Tenten holding Naruto's hand as she leads him out of the pool during a lovely day at a tropical resort. I can not think there would be a commissioned NaruTen art that would be better than this one. I love everything about it, including their expressions that shows trust (and love).

Oh, one last thing... Big "Thank you!" to Mario for doing a superb job with this commission! You rock, Man!
