Chapter 10 – A Mission Between Vacations
The vacation in Sunagakure has finally ended and the Kunoichi were on their way to their next destination, Kusagakure also known as Village Hidden in Grass. The travel would be at least 3 days long if they travelled by foot, but it would be a day if they flew.
Sakura and Tenten both had a huge bruise on their cheeks as clear as day, but they still laughed about the whole situation after Sakura healed them both, being the Medical Ninja she was.
Kusagakure is a very attractive place with giant mushrooms and gigantic trees. It's not a wonder that many people tend to get lost in the forest.
If anyone looked up to the high branches of the trees, they would see 5 shadowed figures moving quickly.
Kunoichi glided through the branches with the grace of a Goddess and the speed of a lightning. Their destination was at a small hut they excellently covered with a Genjutsu. Nobody can break it.
That hut was a very important place for them. The place where they had learned the ways of a Goddess. The place where they had created a strong bond.
Ino cancelled the Genjutsu once they arrived and immediately went indoors. The hut only held a bookshelf build into all 4 walls, containing scrolls and books about everything you need to know if you are a Goddess. Basically, it was their personal library. If the information was discovered by someone other than themselves, the scrolls would burn to ashes as they can sense their owner's chakra.
Every document is written in a language that was from the time the Goddesses and Gods lived, therefore nobody would have the ability to read it, unless they were like the Kunoichi.
Sakura picked up her own book that said 'Fire Goddess: Powers and Abilities' in that ancient writing. She opened the worn out book that was once a glossy black, but now a smoky grey, the pages darkened with age and the text was handwritten, telling the reader of the author's observasions and experience in a particular category. Pele had written all these books.
Attacks
Sacred Fire Attack - (Short, Long and Mid-Range) - This attack takes the most effect when the user feels a deep rage towards someone or something. The user must think of a memory or a time when they felt anger and rage, this will make the attack more deadly and the opponent would have a low chance of surviving.
Fire Explosion - (Long-Range) - This attack will create an exlosion of fire. The fire itself would make destruction to a large amount of landscape. It takes most effect if the attack is launched from the air.
The rest was of the abilities of a Fire Goddess that Sakura had already read before. For example, when a fire attack is launched at Sakura, it doesn't affect her at all. No scars. No burns. No damage to the skin. Only the clothes get caught on fire.
She has the ability to absorb fire with her seal that is placed on her palm.
Whenever she needs to, the temperature of her skin could increase and whatever would touch her skin that is not part of her would burn as long as they have physical contact. Simple as that.
Considering that they will be staying here for a while, Hinata, being the sweet little girl she was, offered to go and find some food. Sakura went with her.
"First, we need food. Try some fish and wild animals. We could also collect some berries. How does that sound?" Sakura asked her pale-eyed friend.
"Yep. Sounds good. Byakugan!" Hinata activated her bloodline and looked around for any streams or animals. She caught sight of a deer who was eating the grass on an open field. She signaled Sakura to go that way before saying, "It's a deer. Go South-West from here but stay silent."
Sakura nodded and flashed Hinata a smile before departing in a flash. Hinata sighed and deactivated her Byakugan. Closing her eyes, Suiton flashed before her eyes and behind her eyelids. Giving a small smile, his image blurred until it was darkness. Hinata opened her eyes, and revealed beautiful bright blue orbs, the colour of the calmest of lakes and rivers.
With these eyes, she could spot any kind of water surface, no matter the distance. Finding a small river, Hinata leaped towards it.
..
The deer that Hinata has spotted was moving about the field while eating the grass. It never realized that someone was trageting it. The soon-to-be-attacker hid in the trees, crouching on a low branch, but still high enough to go unnoticed.
The glint of a very sharp weapon was covered by the thick leaves. Without a thought, the weapon was launched at an incredible speed. The animal dropped on the floor, a pool of blood slowly gathering around it from the wound in it's neck, the weapon slid through the body part completely.
Sakura dropped onto the ground in a silent crouch. Slowly, she walked over to the still bleeding animal and kneeled down next to it. A green glow surrounded her hand and Sakura placed it over the deer's head. The deer stopped breathing and lost it's pulse. It was dead.
..
Hinata arrived at the river sooner than expected. She spread out the arm that held the tattoo of a droplet in front of her with her hand facing straight down. A small part of the surface of the water began to shift, ripples were created with the action.
Her tattoo glowed a faint blue before the water started ascending in a thin line as her hand moved up. The water broke down leaving 10 pieces of 8 inch long "water senbons". They each glowed bright blue before they hardened into rock hard sharp senbons. If Hinata didn't knew better, she would have thought that they are real senbons.
Hinata pushed her palm forward, the senbons diving into the water. She then lifted her hand and the senbons floated back into the air, with the fishes wildly struggling against it. They landed on the big rock in front of her. The water melted away and the fishes of the lack of water.
Hinata searched her weapon's pouch before she took out a metal string and a senbon. She carefully attached the two. Hinata slid the senbon through the animals and she created a chain of fish.
She ran back to the hut after gathering a big ball of water, cuertsy if Suiton.
..
Temari, Tenten and Ino sat inside the hut while they talked to their spirits. Futon, Doton and Koton all appeared in their spirit form.
"What is our next destination?" Doton asked them while trying to hide from Tenten's accusing glare. She still didn't forgive him for trying to side with her former team during the mission 'Prove Everyone's Growth' (Referring to chapter 5 - Never Underestimate Us).
"Otogakure." Sakura replied as she stepped in the hut while dragging the deer behind her. "I just recieved a letter from Tsunade-sama saying that Oto was really quiet lately."
"Basically, it's an investigation mission?" Tenten offered
"Partly yes, mostly though, it's seduction," Sakura told them. "We need to find Nori Takeshi, a noble from Otogakure and the leader of a group known as 'Burakku', which basically means 'Black'. We need to seduce the required information out of him."
"Which is...?" Hinata stretched the question out as she set the fish on the ground and put a Genjutsu around the hut after she closed the wooded door.
"To find out if Otogakure plans on attacking something or someone." Sakura responded.
Katon and Suiton joined the other spirits near the bookshelf.
Ino sighed "That's basically saying bye-bye to our vacation."
Temari nodded "Indeed."
Sakura roasted the deer and the fishes while Tenten created plates and cups out of wood. Temari used her wind technique to make sure there was no annoying splinters that would get caught in their skin. Ino created a ball of light and made them multiply, illuminating the room and casting shadows over objects that blocked the flow of light.
Hinata waved the floating ball of water to herself and dropped a fair amount of the liquid into each of their cups.
At the request of Sakura, Tenten created 5 small bowls of wood like earlier. Sakura put the same amount of berries that she picked on the way back into each bowl, blueberries and raspberries among them.
Dusk has arrived when they started eating their meal. Eating all that meal made them sleepy, and they slept on the floor, neither too hard nor too soft, just perfect. They huddled closer to each other, relying on their body heat to warm them throughout the chilly night.
As soon as Ino was asleep, the lights faded out.
Goddess' Love
"Do I really need to do this?"
"Yes, you're body is the most developed."
"Fine."
Temari was dressed in a small dress that showed more than it hid. It was a fiery red, the colour that Nori Takeshi likes best, and it ended 2 inches above mid-thigh. It was also a halter dress, basically showing off her curves and breasts. She wore 2 inch shiny black stilettos.
Ino was in charge of her hairstyle and Tenten was to do her makeup. By the time they were done, Temari looked like a real seductive woman.
Temari's hair was pulled up into a soft updo, with golden hair pins holding her bangs back, since that colour went most unnoticed. Her eyes were outlined with eyeliner and the mascara did wonders. Hinata applied silver eyeshadow and a little blush. Her lips were a nice pink colour, the colour of Sakura's hair. Tenten gave her a medical needle with the cap secured safely across the sharp metal. Temari hid it in her hair.
To say Hinata and Ino were proud of their work would be an understatement.
"I DO SUCH A GOOD JOB!" Ino wailed with proudness in her tone.
"MY MAKEUP SKILLS ARE IMPROVING! BOOYEAH!" Temari, Tenten and Sakura stared at Hinata and Ino as if they have grown 2 heads.
Temari suddenly shook her head and left the room, Sakura and Tenten trailing after her.
They all had an invisible ear device so they can communicate to each other.
Sakura had the job of a waitress while Tenten was the drop-in DJ. Hinata would be on the look-out for the 'Black' and Ino would be writing down every information Temari would get out of Nori.
Hinata hid in the shadows of the alley between the club and take-away restaurant. In her hand, there was a picture of Nori Takeshi, so she would know when he would show up.
Even Hinata had to admit he was handsome with his high cheekbones and tight jaw. He had beautiful aqua blue eyes and light brown hair, almost considered a very dark blond.
Pearl eyes stared ahead before she expertly jumped on the rooftop opposite the club.
A familiar brunette came into her line of vision and Hinata watched him and his group enter the club after flashing the bouncer their ID cards. She pressed a finger to her ear device and said, "The bird is in the cage with his mates."
Static was heard and then Temari's voice flowed out, "Got it. Sakura it's your turn."
"Hai." Sakura's reply was immediate.
Said rosette was tugging the skirt of her required waitress uniform to cover more of her legs. It went 2 inches above mid-thigh, like Temari's dress, and it was strapless. The colour was a nice forest green and there were white laces on her chest, binding the uniforms together. Sakura sighed before grabbing a small notepad and a pencil from the small white apron over her skirt.
She approached the 'Black' group and was aware of the lustful gazes of the males in the room. She stopped in front of their table and forced a flirty smile on her lips. "What can I get you gentlemen?"
"Batting eyelashes and cocking hips? Check."
"Lustful eyes on body? Check."
"Flirting? Check."
"Annyed by Ino and will kill her later on? Check." Sakura recieved the orders and walked to the bartender, her hips swaying seductively. Ino has been talking through the ear device about her list and Sakura was getting annoyed by every word that reached her ears.
"Way to kill the mood Forehead." Sakura can actually imagine Ino pouting on the other line.
Sakura gathered the ordered drinks and transferred them to their victim's table.
A few ass gripping moments later for Sakura, Tenten went onstage. Her outfit was seductive too. A little makeup here and there and voila. A beauty is created. She wore a gem green off-the-shoulder shirt that stopped 1 inch under the bottom of her breasts and flaring black miniskirt. An equally black headphone rested around her neck.
She grabbed the mic. "ARE YOU ALL READY TO PARTEEEYYY?!" She turned the mic to the audience. "YEAH!" She turned the mic back to herself. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" She turned the mic back to the audience. "YEAH!" Back to herself. "MUCH BETTER!" The music started next.
Bodies crashed together as they danced to the fast beat song. Tenten spun the records at the DJ table and everyone had a good time.
Sakura grabbed her ear piece. "Tem, it's your go." She quickly added "Good luck!"
Hinata, Ino and Tenten (secretly) wished her good luck too.
Temari looked over to their target and waited until he noticed her stare. She winked at him when their gazes connected before she turned away and ordered an alcoholic drink.
"Why hello beautiful," their target purred while his blue eyes scanned her form from behind. Temari covered a shiver of disgust but forced herself to bat her eyelashes and made a flirty smile stretch across her lips.
Her drink that she ordered arrived shortly and Sakura delivered it. She threw a wink at Nori just to be playful before she went and took the rest of the orders. Temari had to bite her tongue so they she wouldn't laugh out loud when she saw Nori's eyes flare with interest.
Temari knew that if she failed to seduce Nori then either Sakura or Tenten can take over and seduce him too. It has to be either her, Sakura or Tenten who will seduce him.
Hinata went back to their hotel room and sat down with Ino, noticing a note already written down on her notepad.
Easily interested in women he never saw before.
Hinata nodded in approval. Tenten's voice broke through their ear device. "He likes suggestive song lyrics. Write it down." Ino replied with a "Got it!"
Back at the club, things were going as planned, faster than they expected thing to happen though. Nori was alkready carressing Temari's thigh and his hand slid up even further, to the hem of her short dress. Temari had to fight the urge to break his hand but that would blow her cover. Instead, she smiled and trailed a finger from his neck to his chest, his open shirt providing access to his hard abs.
It also didn't take long for Nori to grab her hand and literally drag her to the back of the building where a number of bedrooms were built in. Pleasured screams, moans and groans echoes around the empty hallway. A pool of disgust gathered in Temari's stomach.
Nori kicked open a door as he crashed his lips on Temari's neck. In a second, they were on the bed, Temari trapped between Nori and the bed.
The time to gather the required information for their village has come.
It was now or never.
Goddess' Love
Temari walked out of the room with a scroll in her hands. Just 2 minutes ago she injected the needle filled with a deadly poison into Nori's neck while he was vulnerable. While she checked his clothes for anything useful, she came across a scroll, the very same scroll that is now in her possession. It was all about the future attacks Otogakure will be carrying out on different villages. The reason for it is that the hidden villages always looked down on the village that was found by Orochimaru decades earlier. They wanted revenge.
Kunoichi met at their hotel room and they discussed the issues of Otogakure.
"Are they going to declare war?"
"Maybe, I'm not too sure of it myself."
"They do not have a right to do that!"
"Girls..."
"What Tenten?"
Tenten looked up from the scroll Temari found earlier and her face was a pale. "You need to look at this..."
They gathered around the scroll and they were all shocked at the small pictures that were in the bottom left corner.
Their replacements faces stared back at them with cheerfully.
SOOOOOO TIRED! Thank you for all the reviews that encouraged me to update! A little turn of events. So their replacements were spies all along? ME LE SHOCKED.
Stay tuned in for next chapter!
