"Ok, I'm sure you are all wondering what mission could possibly involve all of you, so take a seat and be quiet while I explain."
Tsunade spoke as she surveyed the young Shinobi in her office; all were now respected chunin or jounin of Konoha. Neji leant up against the right wall, with Tenten standing on his left. In front of him, Ino sat on a single chair with Kiba leaning on the arm looking bored and slightly lonely since he was asked to leave Akamaru at home. The next chair was taken up by Sakura, with Sasuke leaning on the back of her chair, hands brushing her shoulders when she would move. By the left wall Hinata stood, blushing lightly as Naruto rested his chin on her left shoulder, peering at Tsunade curiously. His arms were wrapped around her petite waist, as she rested against his firm chest. Shikamaru stood at the back near the door with his eyes closed as if asleep, though those who knew him well would know that he was listening to every word being said.
Tsunade sat down in her large chair in front of her wooden desk and laced her hands together, resting her arms on the desk. Having glanced at each individual and noted their appearance she sighed and began to explain their mission.
"I'll explain the basis of the mission first."
She stopped when she got no interruption, looking towards Naruto she laughed internally. Hinata had put hand on his arm when she felt he was going to interrupt her, he had closed his mouth and returned his chin to her shoulder.
"In a large city about a week's travel from here, there is a well known concert that is held once a month. Every month they have a different band perform many songs, both of the bands own songs and also requested songs."
The young shinobi in front of her nodded, waiting for her to continue. Tsunade placed her chin upon her laced hands and took a deep breath before continuing.
"The bands chosen to perform are often amazing, and this is where your mission comes in to play."
Curiosity made its way across the teenagers faces as they tried to figure out what exactly their mission could be.
"Baa-chan, why would you need all of us for security?"
Tsunade smirked, so Hinata couldn't contain all of Naruto's out bursts. She smiled, at least he hadn't yelled it; and she had given up long ago trying to get Naruto to call her Tsunade instead of Baa-chan.
"I'm not planning on you guys being security. So if you would kindly shut up, I'll inform you of what I do want you to do."
She glared softly at Naruto, who in turn recoiled and hid behind Hinata; causing a few chuckles around the room and a deeper blush to make its way on to Hinata's features.
"Anyway, as I was saying. After the concert, the bands usually end up being signed by contractors or being asked to perform elsewhere. But for the past few months the Bands have been disappearing."
The curiosity within the room reached its peak, Tsunade - realising this, continued relaying the information she had received a few days prior from the organisers of the monthly event.
"In total 5 Bands have gone missing, I have received confirmation that the band that played at last concert; which was a week ago has indeed disappeared as well."
The confused faces of the shinobi she had gathered forced her to continue explaining, sighing; she decided to get to the point of the mission faster. She wanted to have some sake and a nice nap before Shizune came back from the small mission she had given her the previous day.
"Every month they change the type of band, last month was a mixed band, with both male and females. The month before was a band made up of guys, and the month before that was a band made up of girls. Are you following so far?"
Once she received nods or replies of either "Hn" or "Hai" from everybody in the room she continued.
"This month, as you have probably figured out, is going to be a band of guys. This is where you come in-"
Before she could continue she was interrupted by laughter from both Ino and Sakura, glaring at them as if wanting to hear a reason for their outburst. Sakura was the first to stop her giggling and explained her and Ino's reason for their laughter.
"Tsunade-sama, are you saying that you want the guys, to make a band?"
Hearing this all the eyes of the males in the room widened, even Neji and Sasuke's, their calm demeanours tarnished.
"W-WHAT!?"
Surprisingly it was everybody except for Naruto who had yelled, minus Sakura and Ino who had continued their giggling. Naruto just looked scared, eyes wide and mouth agape as he stared at Tsunade. Tsunade let a small smile show upon her face, as she rested her back against her chair, crossing her long legs.
"That's exactly what I want."
As if it was organised, all the men in the room fainted. The girls, including Tenten and Hinata who had joined in the giggling managed to quite down and think about the situation.
"But Tsunade-sama, why are we here then?"
Tenten pointed to herself and each of the other girls in turn, confusion laced across her rounded face. Realising this, the three other girls also turned to Tsunade, waiting for her answer.
"Ah, your part is simple. You are to play the part of their girlfriends and also help them with their dancing and clothing."
Ino smiled impishly at the mention of clothing; oh this was going to be fun. Then a thought bubble popped in her head, who's 'Girlfriend' was she meant to be?
"Uh, Tsunade-sama, in case you haven't noticed – I'm the only single girl here."
Tsunade decided to play a little bit; did they really think that she hadn't thought this out? She was the Hokage, sheesh.
"Well why don't you figure it out Ino?"
Ino frowned and counted off the guys on her fingers; she made a disgusted face and faced a smirking Tsunade.
"But there are two guys! I don't get it!"
'Jeez, she's almost as bad as Naruto. Damn those two, giving blonde's a bad name' Tsunade decided she had had enough of the stupidity, she decided to end it before she caught it.
"Wake the guys up; I don't want to have to repeat myself."
As the kunoichi did as they were asked Tsunade watched on in amusement. Tenten was poked Neji with a Kunai rather hard, while Sakura was shaking Sasuke violently. Hinata on the other hand simple kissed Naruto gently on the lips and he awoke within a second, with a cheesy grin on his face as he stood up. Poor Kiba was simple punched in the head as Ino made her way over to Shikamaru and screeched his name. Kiba rubbed his head looking disgruntled as Shikamaru mumbled something along the lines of 'troublesome blonde witch' or at least, that was what Tsunade wanted to hear, she ignored Shikamaru's rant and coughed to get their attention.
"As I was saying before you guys decided to faint, I want you to make a band."
Tsunade raised a hand to silence their shouts, glaring at them each individually to get the full effect.
"That will be your cover; the girls will be your girlfriends to make it seem more real. Obviously the couples will be Naruto and Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura, Neji and Tenten. The other couple will be Kiba and Ino; this is because Shikamaru will be playing the role of your manager. He is also in charge of this mission, with Neji."
She let the young shinobi digest the information, the couples grinning at the fact they would not have to put their relationship on hold. Ino looked as if she didn't mind having to be Kiba's 'girlfriend' and obviously Kiba didn't mind one bit, he smiled to himself, it's not like he didn't like Ino in that way anyway.
"This mission will be A-rank, I want you guys to perform and find out what is happening to the bands. This mission is dangerous, you have to play your parts expertly; should you be exploited as shinobi you will fail this mission. We also have no idea who the enemy is, so it could even reach S-rank."
Both the guys and the girls smiled at this, all except for Shikamaru and Hinata, Shikamaru because he had to lead, therefore he actually do something. And Hinata because it was already an A-rank, she admitted she could probably handle that – but an S-rank?
Seeing Hinata's worried face Naruto tightened his grip around her small waist and whispered in her ear, causing her to shiver as his lips grazed her delicate skin.
"Don't worry, it'll be fun."
Hinata let him see a small smile; his confidence flowed through her, though she still had her doubts.
Once everyone in the large office had settled down about the genre of the mission, Tsunade decided to go in to further details, and to see if they would be able to carry out the mission.
"Ok, now we've got that settled, I'm going to have to see if you guys can actually sing."
She couldn't help the smile that was edging its way on to her face, the withheld laughter of the other kunoichi present didn't help her façade much either. The guys were glancing nervously at each other, they were meant to sing for the mission, not now! Containing her amusement Tsunade cleared her throat and continued, face deadly serious.
"You will all follow me to the small theatre on near the west gate, now."
With that, she glided out of the office, leaving stunned male's and giggle females following in her wake. Hanging at the back of the group, the fearful male shinobi could be found, nervously glancing at their female team mates.
"I-I don't even know if I can sing!"
Naruto's normal hyperactive behaviour was replaced with a down right 'I really don't want to do this' attitude, usually the attitude of Shikamaru. Shikamaru sighed, were they going to complain all the way there? Jeez.
"You reckon I could get Akamaru in his beast clone to take me spot?"
Kiba really didn't feel like embarrassing himself in front of anyone, let alone the kunoichi who were known for spreading gossip around Konoha, Ino and Sakura. He knew he could count on Hinata not to laugh … much. She had been coming out of her shell more since she had been with Naruto. And Tenten just plain scared him, nobody knew just how many weapons she had on her person at any one time; he doubted if even Neji knew.
'Tenten is never going to let me live this down, ever.I'd rather be Hanabi's training dummy than this.'Neji wasn't exactly pleased about the mission either, as you could probably tell by the thoughts going through his mind. (A:N I was going to say head, but that would sound pretty wrong. Lol)
'This… is not good, at all. I can at least stop Sakura from spreading this, which would be easy. But Ino oh dear kami, were screwed.' Yep, poor old Sasuke was having an inner debate on whether to run away from Konoha again, sure the dobe would probably beat his ass down again and drag him back. But he would much rather have had that retched snake's pervy eyes glance over him than dothis.
-
The shinobi's thoughts were diminished as they came face to face with the old theatre located in a back street near the west gate. 'The gate's so close' the male shinobi thought simultaneously, but were again jolted from their wild thoughts with a stern gaze from Tsunade, silently telling them that she would not hesitate to kill any of them if they didn't get in the theatre … now.
Slowly they trudged past the commanding Hokage, as if they had just been sentenced to watching the entire episode collection of the Teletubies. Walking in, they were met with a dusty hallway, leading to the main room of the old building. The large building that had long been deserted by a more up-to-date Konoha was in a battered but still usable state. Odd instruments streamed across the edges of the room, a grand piano stood at the base of a small raised stage.
'Kami help us'
The young men were shoved, none to gently, towards the stage by a smirking Ino and Sakura.
"Stand on the stage you baka's'
They could tell the girls were enjoying their torment, a lot. Damn them all – why couldn't they do this instead.
"Ok, we are all here to see if you boys can actually sing-
Tsunade was cut of by all four of the guys yelling or mumbling things like;
"I CAN'T SING"
"Going back to Orochimaru would be less embarrassing."
"Hyuuga'sdo not sing."
"Can Akamaru do it instead?"
Tsunade raised her hand for silence, add a fierce glare, and that's what she got; automatically. Hey, you don't piss of a Hokage now do you?
Shikamaru couldn't help but smirk as he sat behind the kunoichi who were seated, waiting anxiously in the front row of rickety old seats strewn around randomly in the centre of the large room. This was troublesome, but oh so very amusing; blackmail material and a good laugh, what more could you want?
"I don't care what you all say, you are going to sing – and then I'mgoing to tell you whether or not you can sing. Got it?"
Four loud gulps, two 'Hn's', a sob and a growl later, she continued.
"Glad that's settled. Now then, first up we'll have….
