Summary: So what's featured in this week's issue of Shinobi International? Hinata and Tenten made the front cover. The curiosity provokes the guys to read it.

Inspiration: Currently listening to Toshiro Masuda - Fooling Mode off the Naruto OST. Sounds silly with the weird squeaking noises in the song. Putting me into a comical mood for this chapter. After that it's Fake or how I remember it "Shikamaru's Theme" for concentration purposes. The Sexiness song is hilarious.

Ebay - (Visual) I used the site to describe outfits.

There it is on the counter. Shinobi International , the "Special Edition". Naruto and Neji continue to gawk at the cover in astonishment for a few moments. Sasuke and Shikamaru turn their direction to the image.

"What's been going on since we left?" Sasuke asked.

"Tsunade-sama informed us that Hinata and Tenten left on a one week training session with Jiraiya-sama. Shikamaru stated.

That statement alone caught them off guard; seeing that the kunoichis made the front cover of a world wide magazine knocked them off of their barstools.

"By the way, your drinks are on me tonight." Hiroshi places the light beer in front of Neji.

"Your girls put on an amazing performance. I got it on all PAY-PER-VIEW if you want to see it." He soon walked away with a smile on his face. "Lucky bastards."

"Gimme that!" Naruto snatches the magazine off of the counter. He rapidly flips through the pages attempting to find the exclusive interview on page 12.

"Arrggghh! It's too damn dark in here! I can't see words."

"Naruto, hand it over." Neji reaches his hand out for the document. Naruto continues to struggle reading in the dark. "DAMMIT I SAID NOW!" Neji grabs the Shinobi International out of his hands, then rolls the magazine tightly and popping Naruto on the back of the head.

"Owww! What did you do that for?"

"I told you to hand it over because I can see it better." Neji held the material in front of him then activates his ability. "BYAKUGAN!" He easily finds the interview behind the ads. He then begins to read the contents of the page. The shinobis gather around Neji to listen in more closely.

"The Super Virgin Girl Tournament has been one of the most controversial contest in the martial arts community. Now with protection of legally binding contracts and restrictions, this once underground and illegal competition has recently been publicized less than ten years ago. Within that time, a Tag-Team tournament has been assembled to increase a team's chance of winning and doubling the amount of competitors. Only female participants are allowed to compete in the tournament within a one week time frame. The winner earns a generous amount in prize money and world recognition for their talents."

"In the past, the SVG participants used to consist of loose moral fighters who competed for the opportunity to win the prize money and placing their reputations in jeopardy. Based on the risk involved, the potential SVG fights aggressively until the end. The winners are labeled as the best kunoichis in the world. As for the defeated, they go home disgraced with their fighting spirit and maidenhead broken."

Shikamaru and Sasuke are knocked into a stage of bewilderment with Neji's last phrase. Their eyes are as large as saucers with their jaws on the counter. Naruto and Neji's tempers flare up, the death glares grow with intensity. Neji tightly grips the pages wishing it was the pervert's neck.

Neji takes a deep breath before continuing on with the remaining paragraph.

"Established on the recent contract, the loser still has a chance of earning currency. They have a choice of accepting money from being deflowered by a judge or spectator. If consent is given, extra dividends can be earn through PPV based on the amount of orders."

"DAMN YOU ERO-SENNIN!" Naruto's fangs and claws began to grow. Red chakra leaks profusely out of his body. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY WIFE?"

"Naruto! Let Neji finish before you tear this place apart." Sasuke exclaimed.

Panting heavily, Naruto tries to keep his inner demon under control.

"This year's Tag-Team tournament registered 40 teams. Within four days, it has been reduced to 5 winning teams (10 girls). But only four runner-up teams had to share the $10,000 prize. The genuine Super Virgin Girls with the highest score won the ultimate grand prize of $50,000 and a photo shoot for the front cover of our sister company Kunoichi Today."

Neji quickly turned to the next page. There were the winners on a double page spread. The kunoichis were posed in various stances along with actual shots from the tournament. For the full body shot, they were positioned back to back in evening dresses.

Introducing this year's Super Virgin Girls - Uzumaki Hinata & Hyuuga Tenten.

Hinata's garment was a mini silk embroidered aqua kimono dress, exposing the lean muscle in her legs and silver lace up sandals that wrapped in a criss-cross pattern up her calves. Her Byakugan was activated in the other poses. But for the main photo, she concentrated her chakra within her hand, creating the glowing blue sphere resembling her husband's Rasengan.

Tenten's attire was pink fitted backless qi pao (Chinese dress) that reached down to her ankles with two high slits on both sides revealing the curve of her lower hip and metallic gold ankle-strap pumps. Within her hands was her favorite katana; a "just because" present from Neji. The reflecting light from the camera flash left a sliver streak across the blade.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Naruto facial features return back to its original state, he unleashes a smile from ear to ear.

"Hey, that looks kinda like my jutsu! Mine. I never knew Hinata can make that technique look so damn sexy."

"Hyuuga Tenten. She took my name and made it hers." Neji smiles proudly reading the text over and over. 'Now I'm absolutely certain that she'll say yes.'

Naruto lifts his beer mug in the air. "I wanna make a toast to my wife and to the other kunoichis in our lives! If it wasn't for them, life wouldn't be worth living."

Sasuke raises his glass. "I'll drink to that. I wouldn't be alive without Sakura."

"To Tenten, I got a real prize for her when she comes home."

"Yeah, in your pants!" Naruto declared. The others broke into laughter. "What? I was talking about the engagement ring."

Shikamaru followed suit. "Banzai!"

"Banzai!" The shinobi yelled in unison. Each of the them gulps down their beverage, except for Neji who was already light-headed from the sip of light beer.

'I'll water it down, I want to be conscious when Tenten returns.' Neji picks up the magazine and reads the interview to himself, pouring some of the beer into his glass of water.

Naruto slams his beer mug back on the counter to prepare himself another sake bomb. He notices a familiar face on a small photograph behind the bar. Bright round dark eyes, a super shiny bowl cut, and green vest and spandex suit.

"Hey, Hiroshi! Who's that picture behind the bar?" Naruto points at the photograph.

Hiroshi looks behind him. "Oh, that. This picture is distributed in all the bars and restaurants in Konoha. He's a Jounin who recently turned legal last November. I was instructed that I'm not allowed to serve him anything but juice and water or else I'll lose my job." He then passes the photo to Naruto.

'Gejimayu?' "Oh Shit! Hey guys check this out it's Fuzzy Eyebrows." Naruto laughs uncontrollably showing his teammates the picture. "He's not allowed to drink in any bar in the village."

"Yeah we already know that dobe." Sasuke replied. "I found out the hard way like Neji."

"Why am I always the last to know?"

"Because you're never around or passed out when Lee drinks." Shikamaru answered.

Now it is Hyuuga's turn to crack jokes.

"You should train with him sometime after a drink Naruto. How do you think Sasuke found out that Lee's a natural user of Suiken (Drunken Fist)?"

"The look on Sasuke's face was priceless, right after he got bitch slapped." Neji continues to snicker at Sasuke. "I got it on video if you wanna see it!"

"Fuck you, Hyuuga!"

"That's for not telling me that you saw my girl in her Mistress Tenten costume."

"Mistress Tenten?" Sasuke asked. "Damn Neji you really are whipped." Everyone starts cracking up.

"Hey, Tenten takes her time. I'm not a one shot like you, having quickies in the operating room during Sakura's lunch break."

"Good one Neji." Shikamaru commented.

Sasuke is speechless from the revelation.

"Yeah, that's right I was there that day." Neji looks into Sasuke's eyes. A hint of red came to the surface.

"Shizune-san finished my physical since Sakura wasn't back from break. As we were leaving the room, here comes one-shot strutting down the hall with 'the smile' and his fly open; heading towards the elevator. Sakura later follows, covered in sweat and her hair out of place; offering to begin my exam."

Shikamaru and Naruto continue to laugh at Neji's story. Even though Sasuke's story was better.

"It's a good thing I was checked by Shizune-san, I really don't want to know where Sakura's hands have been."

"Who said she used her hands?"

The trio cocked their heads to the side, an appalled Hyuuga face contorts with that last statement. "You really have some sick, twisted desires Sasuke."

The Uchiha unveils an evil smirk. "At least I don't need a leash to get off."

The commotion finally dies down. Neji returns to reading the Shinobi Weekly ,while the others enjoy their drinks reflecting back on the mission and their lovers. Shikamaru is deep in thought, thinking about his Sand Goddess and there last time together.

'What happened to us Megami? Why?'

"Hey, Shikamaru." Sasuke calls.

"Shikamaru?" He still doesn't answer.

"Nara!"

"Huh? Yeah, what is it Sasuke?"

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah… I'm fine."

"What's on your mind this time?"

"No one."

"I asked what, not who."

"It's Temari-san isn't it?" Naruto asked. "You were really down when we left Sunagakure. Did something happen between you two?"

"You can say something like that."

"So what happened?" Sasuke asked.
