A/N: Okay my original publish date was on Saturday but, I have finished all my work and passed it all today so I'm going to publish this story early. WhiteFang45 and U3Fan here is the story you two have waited for! Enjoy peeps!

Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't belong to us but this plot does... :))

Update: 16-03-14 - This story is a request I am doing for Twisted and U3Fan. A major disclaimer... this story is NOT the best quality and I am perfectly aware of that but, it does improve later on. I cannot guarantee you'll like it or that you'll have enough patience to see how this story progressed - this story is in fact labelled, "very AU". It's just to give you all a heads up. After all, these first chapters were written when I just started writing, even I find it quite tedious at times. I'll try to find time to improve this, until then... I'll just put this author's disclaimer.

Behind Enemy Lines is a go go GO!

Chapter 1: Game of deceit

The blonde member of the newly named and feared Sannin, tightened her forehead protector as she looked at herself in the mirror. The carved Konoha symbol shimmered as the sun's rays entered through her windows.

Tsunade straightened her red skirt before she walked out of her apartment. Pulling the door behind her, a faint creak was made and that assured her the door was closed. Looking at the sky, she walked down the steps embracing the weather. This was by far the most refreshing weather since the past week.

Reaching the surface, Tsunade walked among the crowds towards the Hokage Tower. She has been summoned at such an early time, highly unusual and very worrying.

Rushing past the crowd, Tsunade picked up the pace towards the tower. Now in front of the entrance, she went up the stairs taking her time as much as possible. Reaching the hallway Tsunade dragged her feet along as the thought of her not being with her teammates annoyed her. They were sent out earlier this week to assassinate an S class rogue ninja.

That disappointed her greatly, yes it does mean it saves her from hearing Jiraiya's perverted jokes but being with other ninjas just made her feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's because being in her old team was in her comfort zone.

Facing the brown door, Tsunade extended her arm and knocked on the woods tow times and waited for a reply. 'Come in' was distinctly heard from the other side. Tsunade clasped the door knob and twisted it.

Entering the office Tsunade walked to the middle of the room and stood still in silence.

The Hokage puffed out smoke from his pipe and lifted the white sheet before making eye contact with his student. "You know why you're here, right?"

"Being woken up at an ungodly hour is very unpleasing but I suppose this is urgent." She replied, placing her hand on her hip.

Sarutobi showed the sheet in his hand, it labelled: 'S Class Behind Enemy Lines'. "You think this is up your street?" He asked, puffing out more smoke.

Tsunade squinted her eyes as she leaned in to read the objective, no use. She leaned back and folded her arms before raising an eyebrow. "Behind Enemy Lines? Where is this?" she paused. "In the Land of Iron?"

"No Konoha." The Hokage stood up and gathered the white piece of paper and a green folder. "But it won't be easy." he resumed walking towards Tsunade, offering her the documents.

With a slight hesitation Tsunade grabbed the documents and read the objective. "Earn trust and pull out as much information from the Root's Captain...?"

"You may want to look at your target's file. A prodigy and a sharingan user."

Opening the file Tsunade's hazel eyes went left ot right as she read his profile. It was true her target was a force to be reckoned with and she has heard a lot of wonders about him over the past few years. She shut the file and looked at her aged sensei. "Why do I need to investigate a ninja of the Leaf?"

Sarutobi walked to the window and folded his arms. "Danzo is rumored to have plotted an act against Konoha and I believe he is trying to ignite a war between Konoha and Suna to build his own village. Kakashi who was once one of the strongest jounin is now a member of the Root and he is the right hand of Danzo, he holds valuable information."

Tsunade sighed before rolling her eyes. "You're the Hokage, just summon him and tell him to inform you the information you desire."

Sarutobi looked over his shoulder. "If Danzo finds out what I'm trying to do, Konoha will shatter."

Gripping the file tighter, Tsunade gave a measure exhale. "How do I get in touch with him?"

The Sandaime turned around and lifted up an evelope from his desk. "A masked ball party. It's held every year for ninjas to have a break and meet up with others. You'll meet him there." he stretched his arm out, offering the envelope.

Tsunade took the envelope off him and headed out. "Sensei." she looked back. "Take care of yourself." she said sweetly before letting herself out.

A smile crept in his face. 'My students had grown into a fine example of a shinobi.'

That evening...

Tsunade took out a black dress from her wardrobe and looked at it in the mirror. "Too short?" she frowned for a second. "Stupid black and white theme." she muttered.

Taking off her clothes, she slipped in her black dress. The length of the dress was a good five centimeters above her knees. The dress didn't particularly sit well with her but it was for the mission. It was a black tulle short dress with horse hair detailing on the skirt with a one shoulder sheer tulle overlay and a grosgrain ribbon at the natural waist.

Tsunade fixed her hair up into a bun and tied it together with a black ribbon. She turned around and slipped into her black stilettos. Now all ready, she picked up the invitation card. As she headed towards the door, she remembered her mask.

Running back to her bedroom, she wore the mask that covered the upper part of her face. Her lips cracked a smile.

The game of deceit was about to commence...

A/N: That's the first chapter and the second chapter will be published this Saturday, hopefully. Now I don't know much about dresses and high heels but I did my best. :) Sorry if this first chapter wasn't long but it will get a little longer!

See ya' later peeps!
