Ino's Mission: Find Itachi's Mistress

By Bashfulglowfly

Chapter One

"Sit down."

Ino obeyed Tsunade's order and sat in the wooden chair in front of the Hokage's desk. Tsunade leaned back in her chair and gazed at the blonde kunoichi.

Ino tried not to squirm under the older woman's intent gaze.

"I have a mission for you. It's ranked S class."

Ino's eyes widened she'd never been assigned a S class mission before. "Who will be on my team?"

"It's a solo mission."

Ino's eyes widened even further. My first S class and I'm going by myself?! What am I getting into? Most S class missions involve teams!

"There is a very good reason why it's ranked S class. Normally a mission like this would be rated A or even B but because of who might be involved I'm ranking it S."

"Who's involved, Hokage-sama?"

"You will be going to the estate of a daimyo who lives in Rice not far from the border of Lightning. Evidence from other missions indicate that this daimyo is in league with the Akatsuki."

Ino took a deep breath and released it slowly.

Tsunade continued. "It is believed that the daimyo's contact with the Akatsuki is Uchiha Itachi."

Ino's heart stopped and she was afraid that she was going to have to pick her eyeballs up from the floor.

"It is also rumored that Itachi has a mistress on the estate. I want you to confirm that the daimyo is in league with the Akatsuki, that his contact is Itachi and to find out whom his mistress is."

Ino felt eerily calm. "Do you want the woman killed?"

Tsunade shook her head. "Unless your life is at risk, I don't want you killing anyone. This is strictly espionage. You won't even have to have sex with anyone unless you think it's absolutely necessary."

"Yes, ma'am."

Tsunade eyed her blonde subordinate. "I want you to use as little genjutsu as possible. So dye your hair." She smiled wryly at Ino's reflexive grip on her hair. "And get contacts. I want you to be as non-descript as possible."

Ino nodded. She didn't like the idea of physically changing her hair color but if Itachi or any of the other Akatsuki saw her while she was using a henge they might feel the chakra output and wonder about her. So if she only had to concentrate on masking her chakra, all the better. "It sounds like I will be there for a while. How will I get messages to you?"

Tsunade handed over a scroll. "It's all in here. Now get out of here!"

Ino took the scroll, stood up and bowed to the Hokage. But before she could leave, Tsunade spoke again.

"Ino."

Ino turned back around to face her.

"Good mission."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."
