A/N: Okay, so, I kind of had to change the summary to go with where the story is going. The plot is still the same though, don't worry. And also, in this chapter I mention a couple word you may or may not know. I bolded them, and they are defined at the bottom.

With that said, enjoy!

Chapter 4: Their New Hide Out

Every one gasped as the long haired Hyuga suddenly fell to the ground.

"What the?" Naruto shouted, looking in every direction.

There was a dart like object protruding out of Neji's pale neck. An all to familiar scene to Hinata, who stood with a hand cupped over her mouth.

Sure enough, Tsunade could be spotted up in a tree, laughing. "And obviously," She began, chuckling, "You are to cocky to have any idea I have been hiding up here the whole time."

She pulled out a small bottle of sake and took a sip. "Males and their egos, I swear ..." She murmured.

The rest of the conscious Jounin took fighting stance, but were not quick enough for Tsunade's hand signs. They fell to the ground in an instant.

"What ... have you done to us?" Sasuke spat through grit teeth.

Tsunade chuckled again, "Its a special kind of paralyzing jutsu, in about 15 seconds or so, you will fall unconscious, and forget any thing those little eyes of yours copied from me or my girls here, including the location of our little hide out."

"What a drag ..." Shikamaru mumbled.

"I won't be defeated-" Naruto called, but was cut off as his, and the other Jounin's bodies fell completely limp, and fell unconscious.

"That was easy enough ..." Tsunade mumbled. "So," She began with a sigh, jumping from her perch in the tree, "I take it the Hokage is still alive? It's not like you four to fail a mission."

The girls dropped their heads sadly. After all Tsunade-sama had done for them, and they fail a simple assassination.

"It's all right girls, there's always next time. But, before these four wake up, we better get to your new 'hide out,' being as it's not so safe to be here any more ..."

The four girls nodded. "Where exactly is the new hide out going to be though?" Tenten asked.

"I'll show you once we get into town, there's no time to explain it here."

"What!" The younger women exclaimed, "In town Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked.

"We'll be caught though! Every one in town is after us!" Ino added.

"Come on! With their strength, those four will be out of that jutsu any moment now, we must leave!"

The younger women sighed, defeated, and followed their leader out of the forest quickly.


It was amazing to even the assassins themselves, that five suspicious women, four of which had tattered kimonos on, made it there.

The 'there' they were at made the four younger women want to faint.

"Here Tsunade-sama?" Ino asked, afraid that her leader would answer ...

"Yup." Tsunade replied.

There, before the five women was an Okiya.

"You have got to be kidding me, this is our hide out?" Tenten asked, shocked.

"Yup." Tsunade replied once again, taking a sip of her sake. "The best place to hide, if you ask me."

"How do you figure?" Sakura asked, quite annoyed.

"Well, you four will be posing as Geisha, sort of." Tsunade said, scratching the back of her neck. She knew the girls would react like this ...

Sure enough, all four young women fell to the ground in shock.

"Geisha? You want us to pose as ... as ... prostitutes!" Ino shrieked. It was bad enough they had to seduce men very now and then, but, this?

Just then, a tall woman with raven hair walked out of the Okiya. She had a beautiful traditional kimono on, decorated with flowers, and gold trimming. A small pink pig trotted out after her.

"Actually girls, Geisha are not prostitutes. That is always misinterpreted." She said calmly, a small smiled on her face.

"Girls, this is a very close friend of mine, Shizune. She will be your Okami while your undercover here."

Shizune bowed politely, "Nice to be acquainted with you all."

"Okay, now that your here, I'll hand ya over to Shizune." Tsunade said, "I have some ... business ... to attend to, see you around!" Tsunade said, walking away with a wave.

"All right Tsunade-sama, but try not to get too drunk though." Shizune replied, receiving a sweat drop from Tsunade.

"So, just follow me in here, and I'll explain every thing to you."


"You say Geisha are just ... entertainers?" Hinata asked timidly.

The five women were sitting at a table, tea sitting in front of them.

"Why yes, actually. They are sent to tea houses and other places of the sort to entertain, using the arts of dancing, and music, and also for light conversation, and sometimes to pour tea and stuff."

"I see," Tenten murmured, "but, I'm not much of a dancer Shizune-sama."

"That won't be a problem, you four are not trained to be Geisha, so you will be simply helping out with chores and other things around the Okiya here." Shizune replied smiling.

"Oh, I guess that makes sense ..."


In the forest, four irritated young men groaned as they finally came to.

"Damn it, we lost them ..." Neji said upon standing and wiping off his Jounin vest.

"That woman was very strong ..." Sasuke added.

"We were defeated by a bunch of women!" Naruto shouted, shocked as all hell.

"What a drag ... women are so troublesome ..." Shikamaru mumbled in his notorious bored tone as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"We're in trouble now ..." Naruto said nervously, "The Hokage is going to kill us! This is going to ruin my chances on being the next Hokage!" He ran his hands through his blonde hair nervously.

"This sucks." Shikamaru commented.

More irritated than when they awoke, the four young men made their way back the town to receive the lecture they could just feel coming.
