"Sa-su-ke-chan you're so KUWT in your undercover ninja outfit"

"Shut the hell up Naruto," Sasuke scowled tugging at the hem of the skirt.

"My, my – it's not Naruto Satchan! It's Naru-CHAN!" Naruto sang, twirling his long blonde hair around his pinkie, " You really should learn my sexy no jutsu Satchan – it's just perfect for missions like this!"

"Why the hell do we have to dress up as Kunoichis anyway?!?"

"Baka-chan! Cawse we're trying to infiltrate a feminine state! And you herd Tsunade-baba & Sakura-chan tell us about all the stuff they do to mennn!"

Sasuke let out a shudder – but still wondered how he had got landed with a mission like this…

(FLASHBACK!!!!!)

"The Petal County?"

"Yes. Their feudal lord has sent Konoha an urgent request for help." Tsunade said resting her chin on her hands, her elbows leant on the desk. "His son. His successor has been kidnapped by his mother."

"His mother?" queried Naruto, a bemused look etching across his face.

"Yes. Their have been rumours of the stability of the feudal lord's marriage not being as steady as he liked to make out; but as it seems he and his wife fought over who would take custody over their son. After many arguments his wife left with the boy in the middle of the night and took him to a place where the Feudal lord could not follow."

"Huh? Where? If she's the feudal lords wife she's going to be pretty well known isn't she? Doesn't that make it easy for her to be followed?"

"Yes well – finding her location isn't the issue here. The location she is taking her son hostage is… Kessho-Cho."

Silence. Bemused Silence.

Disappointed at the lack of reaction Tsunade tried once more with more emphasis.

"Ahem. I said, she has taken her son hostage at… Kessho-Cho"

Naruto looked at her blankly.

Sasuke stood with his arms folded waiting for the Hokage to elaborate.

Hinata (who had also been asked to come to the mission briefing) looked at the floor fidgeting with her hands. All she was really thinking was "I get to go on a mission with Naruto-kun!"

Sakura pondered the name – it sounded so familiar, she knew she'd read it somewhere before...

"KESSHO-CHO!" yelled Tsunade jumping to her feet, "COME ON! KES-SHO-CHO! THE FEMININE STATE!"

"Huh…so?" said Naruto blankly.

Tsunade sank back into her chair utterly defeated and blown over by Naruto's stupidity.

"You idiot Naruto," chimed in Sakura, "have you never heard of Kessho-Cho?"

"Obviously…" Naruto said shrugging.

"Well a man can't just waltz in there as he pleases! There are severe consequences…" a grim look appeared on Sakura's face.

"Consequences?" enquired Sasuke.

"They do… awful things… terrible… unimaginable things to men…"

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged worried looks.

Sakura continued: "Well they with a man's and when he they . After that they and and if the man's lucky they'll but if not they probably by hanging it onto a with a ."

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a look of mutual terror – both of them vowing to do anything to get out of this mission.

"Yes well," Tsunade said, interrupting their thoughts "that's why the feudal lord has come to us asking for help. All of you must go-" She broke off seeing the looks on Naruto and Sasuke's faces…

"What?" she asked

….

(END OF FLASHBACK)

"Ney, Sasu-chan…"

"So it's Sasu-chan now is it?"

"… What's this kids name anyways?"

"You idiot! Don't you ever take in anything that you're being told?"

"………Sometimes…….."

"Idiot."

Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata and Sakura had agreed to assemble by the Konoha gates. If this was the case, Sasuke thought, why do we have to walk through the village dressed like this? Sasuke surveyed Naruto as he bounded along a few feet ahead of him. Why does he seem to be enjoying this so much? Sasuke asked himself exasperatedly.

Naruto suppressed a giggle as he turned back to look at Sasuke – he couldn't wait until Sakura-chan saw Sasuke dressed in drag!

"A crop top." Sasuke said to himself, "why, WHY a crop top?"

"I told you should have let me teach you my sexy-no-jutsu!" Naruto hollered back to him.

Sakura paced impatiently whilst Hinata stood fidgeting nervously by the gates.

"That idiotNaruto – I'll bet anything he's made Sasuke-kun late," Sakura snarled through gritted teeth.

"Um…. S-Sakura-san…" Hinata stuttered but stopped on Naruto and Sasuke's arrival.

Sakura spun round: "SASKAY-KU-uh…un?"

Unable to contain his amusement Naruto keeled onto the floor, clutching his sides and crying with laughter. Sasuke blushed as Sakura stared unbelievingly at the sight before her. Sasuke-kun. Her beloved Sasuke-kun was stood there, before her wearing a-a miniskirt and a crop-top. Why? Kami-sama? Why lord Buddha? Inner Sakura screamed. Why must this happen to her dear Sasuke-kun?

"Sorry we were late," giggled Naruto, "it's just – Sasu-chan had some trouble adjusting his skirt!"

"Sa-Sa-Sasu…Chan?" choked Sakura.

"Uhn! And I'm Naru-chan!" Naruto explained. "Ya see, we have to act like girls don't we? SO! I figured that we should use nicknames! Kay Saku-chaaaaaaaan?"

"Uhm… Naruto-kun?" Hinata piped in.

"Naru-chan! We all have to act really close ya know Hina-chan!" Naruto sang winking.

"Hah-Hah-Hiii-na-ch-chan?" Stuttered Hinata, swaying slightly as all the blood in her body rushed to her cheeks.

"Are you ok Hina-chan," Naruto asked, stepping towards her, placing his hand on her forehead "you look kind of red."

Hinata began to sway more violently than before. As she fell to the ground she wondered if the fact that she still acted like this while Naruto was disguised as a woman made her a little bit bi….

Having gotten tired of the looks he was receiving from Sakura and the sniggers from Naruto, Sasuke finally decided to let Naruto teach him the Sexy no jutsu –

"Curvier"

"Sexier"

"I said SEXIER!"

"That's not sexy Sasuke – that's twisted"

"So Sasuke finds moustaches sexy? Hmmm Who'da thunk it?"

"THAT'S more like it! Hey! Saku-chan! Hina-chan! Come look!"

Hinata and Sakura, who had been resting nearby, gingerly approached – not sure of they wanted to see what was beyond the trees…
