The blind mission

Author's note: this is set for naruto, as a nejiten, and is set after everyone becomes a chunnin, and is around 16-17, and everything in italics is a flashback

Chapter 1: Mission

Tenten, Neji, and Lee, were summoned by the fifth hokage, Tsunade-sama. They were only told (so far) that they were to have a new mission, and to pack for 2 weeks away, and to bring beach items (bathing suit, towel, sunscreen) survival supplies, formal wear, changes of clothes, etc. When they got to the hokage's room, she explained what their mission was.

"Your mission is to go undercover at the Latuka, a resort between the village hidden in the grass, and Konoha," Tsunade explained. "You will act as simple customers, and spend 2 weeks over there, watching over Zanika Latuka, the manager. She thinks that during the summer rush, she needs protection. We have already fabricated a story for you."

Tenten gulped. Every time Tsunade-sama "fabricated" a story, something was always weird about it. Last time, she had said we would be simple girl scouts. The whole team had to put on makeup, and wear wigs and dresses. Even though Tenten had no BIG objections, she had to bite back giggles seeing her sensei and 2 team-mates dress up as girls. Neji had obviously NOT forgotten that yet.

"I have already positioned your sensei as a worker over at the resort, and his name will be Noko Uganashi. He will act as Zubo Uganashi's (Rock Lee) father. Noko has invited his son to come over to the resort, but is unwilling to leave Lady Kanna (Tenten) behind, being her chauffeur. Kanna is blind, so she will have to wear a blindfold over her eyes. Her boyfriend, Togomo (Neji) will come along as well. Kanna and Togomo will share a room, while Zubo will have his room next to his father's."

Tenten had turned as red as a tomato, hearing she was Neji's alleged girlfriend, and having to share a room with him, even though they were accompanied with being together in tight spaces. Neji, though not showing it, was also blushing.

"You will leave immediately at 12:00, with Lee driving a horse drawn carriage with Tenten and Neji sitting inside.

Lee protested "When are we going to eat lunch then?!"

Tsunade sighed. "What do you think!!!? Eat lunch BEFORE 12:00!!!!!!!!!!!"

Now it was Neji's turn to protest, "The last Lee drove, he ran into a tree!"

Tsunade-sama sighed saying "well…there is no other way, one of you will have to act as a backseat driver. Oh yeah, one more thing Tenten," Tsunade-sama handed her a black blindfold. "This is the blindfold you will use. Normally, is a regular blindfold, but with this one, when Neji sends some of his chakra in to the blindfold, it will allow you to see through it, but still not allowing people on the outside to see your eyes. I strongly recommend you use this as a last resort, to make people believe that you are truly blind. The carriage will be waiting for you at the Konoha city gates."
