A/N: Hey every one! I noticed I didn't really say the ages of any of the characters, so here they are in case you were wondering:

Tenten: 19

Neji: 19

Sakura: 18

Sasuke: 18

Ino: 18

Shikamaru: 18

All teachers and/or Hokage's are their actual ages. (like in the anime)

Any ways, here's Chapter two!

Deadly Desire

Chapter 2: Flirting and Found out

Nine fifteen exactly, and a group of five familiar women were once again at the bridge in the woods. The oldest of them all, Tsunade-sama, grinned as she looked over the young assassins before her.

"Very nice ladies, I knew I could count on you all. Why, I can hardly even recognize you!"

It was true. All of the woman were done up much different then usual for this particular mission.

Tenten, the most tomboyish normally, though not too tomboyish, was in a stunning pink kimono, with a white obi, and white petals scattered upon it as the decoration. Her two usual buns on top of her head were nonexistent. Instead, she wore her long brown hair free, so that it cascaded down her back, reaching just above her behind. She also wore light make up, making a perfect finishing touch.

Sakura wore a wonderful, ruby red kimono, decorated with, of course, pink cherry blossoms, and a pink obi. Her perfect pink hair was pulled back in a short pony tail, her bangs whisping over one of her eyes. Her make up was done as well, not to heavy.

Ino was wearing a beautiful sky blue kimono, that as you looked down towards her feet, mixed into a lovely sapphire blue. The obi was sapphire blue as well. Her long blonde hair was back in an elegant bun, letting a thin piece of hair fall over one of her eyes. Her make up was lightly done as well, perfect.

And last, but not least, was the shy, yet equally beautiful Hinata. She wore a kimono of a gorgeous shade of purple. The obi was a creamy yellow color, as well as the bottom trimming. Her hair, which was now shoulder length, was down as usual, only her bangs were pinned neatly to the side with a purple-gem covered hair pic. Her make up was done just as the others, perfect.

Tsunade-sama put an index finger to her chin, tapping it gently. "Hmm ..." She began, "Something is missing though ..."

She paced before them a few times, looking them up and down before stopping, and giving a quick 'Aha!'

"I've got it. As beautiful as you all look, its just not 'sexy' enough to seduce Jounin ... pull down your collars a bit, yes, just like that! Good!" The blonde woman smiled. "Perfect, I can see there eyes popping out now!" She said grinning. "So then, get on your way! And remember, four men in green vests, those will be the Jounin you must lust away from the Hokage!"

The four younger women nodded, and jumped off to city hall, where the 'end of the war' celebration was being held.


"Green vests ..." Ino mumbled quietly as they walked into an active party of dancing to music being played, men and women conversing, and young children bashfully attempting to ask there crushes to dance.

The four young women scanned the room.

"There." Tenten whispered, "Two in that corner, and two over by that food table."

Sakura crinkled her nose. "I think the blonde one is shoving a whole cup of ramen down his throat ..."

"I didn't think they even had ramen at celebrations such as these ..." Ino commented.

"They don't ..." An unfamiliar voice said from behind them. "That's just Naruto for you, bringing his own ramen, he's got a little obsession ..."

They turned to see a man grinning. "I'm Jiraiya, its nice to see such lovely women here tonight."

The four women cringed.

"I-its nice to meet you too." Hinata said, out of common courtesy towards her elder, it was just in her nature. In the reality of it however, she wasn't liking his vibe, it kind of screamed 'pervert' for some reason ...

"Ah, Jiraiya, just the man I was looking for!" Another unfamiliar voice chimed.

It was a man with spiky silver hair. You couldn't see his mouth, do to a mask of some sort covering half of his face, but by the curve of his eye, you could tell he was smiling. "Oh, hello there ladies." He said upon noticing them. "Sorry," He added, "but I'm going to have to take Jiraiya away for a bit!"

The four assassins sighed in relief as the two walked away, hearing something about a book the younger man was interested in reading the next volume to ...

"Oh no!" Hinata suddenly shrieked, in a whisper of course.

"What is it Hinata?" Sakura asked.

Hinata took out a fan that was tucked in her obi. "I-its that Jounin over there," She said, pointing slightly to one of the young men in the corner, and covering her face with the fan, "H-he's my cousin, that's Neji!"

The other three gasped quietly, as Hinata began to speak again.

"If he sees me, it will blow our cover, he knows I ran away!" (Explained in later chapter)

"Oh no, your right!" Tenten stated.

"Well, then, you'll just have to take care of one of those two then." Sakura began, "Ino, you go with her, make sure she isn't noticed by Neji."

"Fine Sakura, but with my beauty, I think every one's eyes will be on me!" Ino replied, half sarcastically, and half meaning it.

"Yeah yeah, just get over there will ya!" Tenten said laughing.

"Come on then Hinata!" Ino said grabbing the shy girl's arm.


"Naruto stop stuffing your face, we have a mission to tend to ya know ..." Shikamaru said in a bored tone.

"I can't help it! This mission is so stupid! I mean, we're Jounin now, and all we are doing is baby sitting!"

"We only became Jounin recently, first of all. And second, what does shoving cupfuls of ramen into your big mouth have to do with it?"

"Who cares if we just became Jounin! We should still have better missions, don't you think?"

"You didn't answer the eating part of my question ..." Shikamaru mumbled.

Naruto was going to say something, when he noticed two young women making their way towards him and Shikamaru.

"Whoa!" Naruto whispered, "Women with cleavage at twelve o'clock!"

Shikamaru sweat dropped. "You spend too much time with Jiraiya and Kakashi sometimes Naruto."

"Hey there." Ino said sweetly upon reaching the two males. "I'm Ino, and this is my friend Hinata."

"Nice to meet you! I'm Naruto! Naruto Uzumaki, you might have heard of me!" Naruto said cheerfully.

Hinata and Ino just glanced at each other and shrugged.

"Hn, troublesome ..." Was all they got from Shikamaru.

Naruto sighed. "This is Shikamaru. You could have at least told them your name you lazy bastard!"

"You wanna make something of it?"

"Why you stupid!"

Ino and Hinata sweat dropped as the two began shouting.

'So much for not gaining every one's attention.'


"Kay, so I guess we have those two then, at least these four Jounin aren't hideous old men as usual eh?" Sakura said as she and Tenten began to walk over to the corner in which the other two Jounin were standing. "CHA! I get to seduce hot Guys for once!"

"Why hello there. What brings two handsome men, such as yourselves, to this lovely celebration alone?" Tenten said sweetly.

"Yes," Sakura added, "one would think such attractive men would have women on their arms."

"Hn." Both young men replied emotionlessly.

"So, may I ask your names?" Tenten decided to ask, sweetly again of course.

"Sasuke." One mumbled.

"Neji." The other one mumbled.

Sakura and Tenten sweat dropped, just as their friends had.

Suddenly, Neji seemed to be glaring at something.

Tenten and Sakura looked around, other people were staring at something too ...

"Oh no ..." Sakura whispered to Tenten.

"That, can't be ... Hinata?" Neji said.

"The run away Hyuga?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm sure you are mistaken! S-she's one of my friends, we've never even been here before!" Tenten attempted to lie.

"Why have you become so nervous?" Sasuke asked, narrowing his eyes.

"I, er ... we ..." Sakura stuttered.

"Sasuke, what did the Hokage say the assassins looked like?" Neji suddenly asked.

"He said they were women ..." Sasuke replied, narrowing his eyes further in realization, "Four young women, not from around here."

Tenten grabbed Sakura's arm, "Sorry, we've got to go boys!" She called, running towards the door.

Sasuke and Neji immediately followed.

Sasuke looked over his shoulder at the two women before Naruto and Shikamaru, who were slowly trying to walk way.

"Naruto, Shikamaru!" He called, "Those two women are part of the group of assassins, get them!"

Ino grabbed Hinata's arm, "Looks like it's time to go! A pleasure meeting you!" She called before jumping out a near window, Hinata right behind her.

And Naruto and Shikamaru jumped out after them.

((A/N: And that's it for chapter 2! I hope you all liked it, and are interested in tuning in for chapter three. Well, Thanks for reading, until next time!))
