I like to thank a special someone who let me use an idea but I've altered it greatly, since I don't need some lawyers knocking on my door.

- (Line Break) –
It t'was another glorious day in the village of Konoha, where our dearest blue haired kunoichi walked through the town, making her way to the big announcement that Lady Hokage had to make for the chunin of Konoha. She was the softest spoken of any dear kunoichi you may ever meet and the kindest shinobi of our time. She was the heiress to the Hyuga clan and one of the top contenders for the promotion of anbu; of course she made no big deal of it and kept it on the down low.
She was Hinata Hyuga.
Hinata walked with a small smile on her face, with her long midnight blue locks were let down while her bang and two strands framed her heart shaped face. Her skin was the palest color and retained a health soft look to it; she was also seen with a light pink blush dusted over her cheeks and her nose. Hinata had a….healthy figure that became a bit overbearing in certain clothing she had to wear and usually kept it hidden behind a big lavender and white jacket and lose blue pants that stopped above her ankles; she finished it with flat summer style sandals. The eldest Hyuga daughter looked poorly upon herself, not knowing her true beauty, inner and outer.
She hurried along as the tower came near and the sights of the others were in full view. Hinata between her teammates and apologized fore her lateness, but they waved it off telling her not to worry. She looked around and took her own silent roll call of who had attended this little meeting. She spotted Team Asuma; they stood in the exact order of Ino, Shika, Cho with Asuma taking the lead. Team Kakashi was standing before the Hokage, but looked a bit unfinished with Sai in Sasuke's place, but Hinata did like Sai's presence much better then Sasuke's, since Sai didn't always have a scowl, but in it's place a fake smile. Hinata stood beside her team and looked back at Kurenai with a smile. She looked to her sensei as a mother and older sister; she had been her care taker once, but that was long in the past. Even Team Gai had taken its place in the group; she smiled at the sight of her dear cousin, standing with his air of power. Hinata then spotted the Suna delegates standing beside and slightly behind Lady Hokage, while the Kazekage stood further back bored with the whole thing.
"As you know," Lady Tsunade began with a smile on her face, "things have been tense lately and with everything that's been going on, you all seem to forget something." She looked at them all with a smirk, "You're all sixteen; and lately you've been acting way too much like adults. I think to ease things up a bit, I say we have a little competition-"
"Sorry Obaachan," Naruto said crossing his arms and closing his eyes, "I have too much training to get down and I have to bring that teme back to the village!"
"Yes Lady Tsunade," Sakura said with a small smile, "Naruto-kun has a point; we can't waste time with this." Hinata was a bit taken back at the name the name Sakura had started calling him, and knew that she would lose the blonde haired shinobi to the pink haired kunoichi. Hinata sighed softly and just kept to herself, not wanting to cause trouble.
"Well that too bad," Tsunade said, "Because the winner got a specific mission that related to the return of our own little Uchiha." They all perked up a bit and gave her all their attention, "We need someone to be able to pull off a great disguise, as one of their sensei's relatives. Since where you are going only the jonin are known and we can't just go sending them into danger. Anyone who can pull off there sensei's look the best will go to this town and gather information about Sasuke Uchiha and his colleges, but you will do this without a jonin for help."
"Why is that," Shikamaru asked not looking up at the blonde, "why should we look like our sensei, but they can't go themselves?"
"The Jonin of Konoha are well known to many of our rival nations and sending in their family member will be a way for alerting others that a member of the jonin's family is here in their town, but it isn't them. Information can't be given unless you have the power to back it up. You have to be well known, or know someone well known." She motioned back to the Suna villagers, "they will be judging this little competition and choosing our winner."
"Does the gender have to be right," Ino asked with an excited look on her face, "and can more then one team member try out?"
Tsunade smirked, "Anyone can try out, you just have to resemble your sensei that best." Team Gai groaned to them selves as Gai made his good guy pose and Lee was beaming in the background. "And no jutsu can be used in this disguise, not even chakra; so…if your hair color is too different, then you'll have to go get some hair die."
"WHAT!" Ino and Sakura yelled as they touched their own hair softly, "I can't work with grey hair, I'll look old!" Sakura yelled then looked at Kakashi with a nervous smile, "but you work it well Kakashi-sensei." He just looked away with a slight sad look in his eye, but he hid it well. Hinata also felt a chill go down her spine when she felt someone looking at her intently. She slowly turned around and saw that Kurenai had a mischievous smile and was starring right at Hinata.
'This can't end well for me,' Hinata thought as she gulped loudly.
"You must be back here before the sun sets and we will judge your disguise then." She waved her hand off, "Dismissed." The shinobi took off, with Kurenai leaving a dust trail as she dragged Hinata back to her apartment, with Kiba, Akamaru, and Shino trying to keep up.
- (Line Break) –
Kurenai was searching deep into her closet, drawers, and even a wooden chest, looking as if her own room just threw up all these clothes. Shino, Kiba, and Hinata stood at the door –Akamaru slept in the living room- of the room watching their crazy sensei dig around. "Alight, I have decided that Hinata will be modeling my great look and you two will sit in the crowd like good little boys," she said throwing a large roll of bandages on her bed and smirking at the two boys.
"But the Hokage said that anyone could take part-" Kiba was cut off by Kurenai standing up and looking back at him as if he was crazy.
"You really want to wear what I wear," she asked motioning to her wardrobe. Kiba quickly shook his head and she smirked in victory, "that's what I thought, now," she motioned for Hinata to enter, "you come here and you two go wait in the living room." The two boys went off as Hinata closed to door behind her and stood a bit awkwardly in the middle of the mess. "Oh Hinata," Kurenai sighed dreamily, "How I have waited for this day; when I get to dress you up like my own little doll." She pulled out a few articles of clothing made of fishnet and a one sleeved shirt. "This is just going to be great, I don't even care if we win; I'll get pictures of this moment either way." Hinata couldn't help but feel very afraid of what was going to happen.
W/ Team Gai
TenTen stood in her green spandex outfit and didn't know if she should cry or just jump off the closest bridge. She looked over at a stoic Hyuga, who had the biggest anger vein popping out of his head ever seen by the brown haired girl. The two had been forced into the awful attire as a way to guess who looks best in it. TenTen and Neji had voted that Lee go up there since everyone usually confuses the two for being father and son, but Gai wanted to give everyone a fair chance to take part in this competition.
"Just let Lee represent our team," TenTen groaned out and glared at the bowl haired duo. "I don't have the same hair color and Neji's eyes and hair will be a dead giveaway that he is a Hyuga!"
"I came prepared of that my dear flower of a student," Gai smiled pulling out two boxes of hair die and contacts. "Who shall go first?"
"I dare you," Neji spoke deathly quiet with his own Byakugan active, "to even try and color my hair."
"I will take on your challenge my rival!" Lee said getting into his good guy pose, "and if not, may I run fifty laps around the village as punishment!" Neji smirked and as Lee came at them, they had a full out brawl that ended clearing part of the forest. TenTen stood back and slowly inched away from her sensei, who was cheering on his favorite student, also trying to cheer on the other.
'I am out of here!' TenTen took off into the village and strait to her house, and hid away her sensei's uniform
W/ Team Kakashi
"It's just hair Sakura-chan," Naruto tried to comfort her as she silently cried over her –now- grey/silver hair. The three had figured of putting Sakura and Naruto into the competition, because Naruto wanted to do it, and everyone always helps out the pretty lady. Sai had sat back and captured this moment on paper, thinking it would be a great story to tell when he and his 'friends' got older. Kakashi had gone back home and gotten them some of his spare clothing, Sakura having to go get them tailored to her size and they fit Naruto pretty good.
Sakura had been a representation of Kakashi's would-be niece. She had died her hair his color and had gotten coal black contacts that hid her dark green eyes away. She worked the look well, but her girlish figure was hidden greatly behind her sensei's clothing. To finish off the look, she had put on a mask and even she had to admit, it was hard to breathe.
Naruto, on the other hand, look like a mini Kakashi, but with blonde hair. He even brushed his hair like Kakashi had, and his sensei began to think if that is what his hair really looked like, because it looked ridiculous on the loud blonde. Naruto had covered up one eye, but refused to wear the mask; he was then forced into makeup to hide the whiskers on his face.
"I so know we are going to win! Believe it!" Naruto yelled with a big 'thumbs up' and smile on his face.
"Oh shut up Naruto-baka," Sakura groaned but it was muffled by her mask. "How can you talk right with this thing on?"
"Practice," Kakashi said plainly and went back to reading his little orange book.
"You guys are going to lose and you look ridiculous," Sai smiled at them, finishing his drawing of the two. "We better get back to the Tower, or they will start with out dickless and ugly." He calmly walked away as the two growled at him and was held back by the real Kakashi.
"It's going to be a long competition," he muttered under his breath.
W/ Team Asuma
Shikamaru groaned as Ino fixed him up to look like his sensei, and all they really had to do was give him a bandana that Asuma wore around his waist. Asuma looked over his lazy student with a cigarette in his mouth and a smirk. "This might actually work," he patted Shikamaru's shoulder, "you could practically be my son."
"All I need to so is smoke and fall in love with Kurenai," Shikamaru smirked as he laid his hand on top of his head, "This is a waste, we should be sent out on the mission. We are the children of the Ino-Shika-Cho team; it is obvious to send us."
"But you are also the heir to that clan," Asuma said with seriousness, "you would be a target for others, but if you're just the children of plain shinobi that risk is lowered by at least 80% and no one would suspect a thing." He handed him a senbon, "Just chew on this and win this so you can go on that mission-"
"What do you think!" Ino said as she was dressed like a girl version of Asuma. She had put her hair into a long braid and it had been colored dark to slightly match that of her senseis. "You have to admit, I work this look well," she winked at the three guys, as Asuma's eye twitched.
"Who are you suppose to be?" Choji asked, "You look more like Shikamaru's mother."
"Ugh," she frowned, "you don't get it. What kind of man doesn't want to help the pretty girl get information?" She smirked, "It's a fool proof plan and I look too good to not help."
"Troublesome," Shikamaru muttered as Ino fought with Choji and Asuma about being in the competition.
- (Line Break) –
Tsunade sighed as she sat beside the judges table, "I didn't think it would take them all this long to do it," she looked over to the sand siblings as they waited patiently and almost looked unreal- Tsunade sighed, "These are just clones, aren't they," after she said that Kankuro and Temari 'poofed' away and Gaara let out a sigh along with Tsunade, "this better at least give me a good laugh."
"I don't see why you are putting all of them through this just to get information on the Uchiha," Gaara said softly as he tipped his hat down and lied back in his seat. "It's like your just doing this for your own fun."
"Be that as it may," she started softly, "you seem to forget that you're only a kid as well." Tsunade looked at the young Kage, "When was the last time you got to go out on a mission? Or been able to go train without an anbu guard on your tail or even go out and have fun with your friends?"
"I've made a commitment to serve me country before myself," Gaara answered. "But," he glanced over at her, "I do see the point you're making though you need to remember one thing. They all chose to take the path of the ninja, and to them, being a child id done."
"Ah Kazekage-sama," Tsunade smiled and leaned back in her seat, "you just don't get it like you should. Once you're my age, you'll understand what I truly mean. You'll miss that youth and wish you could have done so many other things." She looked into the distance and smiled when she saw the teams coming into view; she clapped her hands together, "Perfect. Get your siblings and we'll start." Gaara nodded and disappeared in a whirl of sand as Tsunade stepped down and stood before the group. She smiled, "Alright the competitors in the back and the others take a seat."
"What's with all the chairs," TenTen asked as she took a seat in the front with all the other shinobi.
"I may have made some money off of this," Tsunade said innocently as some other chunin began to usher other villagers into the empty seats. They all looked at the blonde Hokage, "What? This is going strait back into the village to help rebuild-"
"Stop," Neji said sitting down, "I just want to win this mission and get this over with."
"Where's Kurenai," Asuma asked sitting beside Choji.
"Haven't seen her since she ran off with her team," Kakashi said not looking up from his book, "They probably figured that they had better things to do then take part in the competition." He scratched his nose and looked over at him, "Do you think if we just leave, they'll notice we left?"
"Don't even bother," TenTen said, "Gai is guarding the exit until we get announced the winners; I can't even get out of here." She looked back and nearly screamed, "What's with all the people?"
"We came to cheer on Kakashi's team," a group of young women said all in Kakashi memorabilia.
"Sorry but I'm sure that Gai will win, he and Lee are practically father and son," and so the wars began.
"I say we just leave," Kankuro whispered to the two other sand ninja, "before a riot breaks out."
"I kind of want to see Shikamaru," Temari smiled with a camera, "I just want to get pictures to use as black mail when needed." She laughed evilly and sat down between her slightly freaked out brothers. "And I wonder who will win; I can't wait to see who had to dress up like Kakashi."
"Why couldn't we take part," Kankuro said as he slumped back in his seat, "I could use a good mission."
"Uchiha, Sasuke is not Suna's problem," Gaara answered diplomatically, "but just in case, we'll be ready to lend out a hand if things get….complex."
"You just want to beat the guy up," Temari said with a smirk, "since truth be told, you didn't win the match against him or Naruto in the chunin exams."
"Point taken," Gaara smirked, "and not to mention that you would have lost to the lazy Nara if he hadn't of been tired." Temari just pouted and looked away from the witty Kazekage and looked forward. Gaara looked back into the crowds and thought he saw two people sneak in through the back, but only a thought. He didn't sense anything wrong put he kept his guard up and the cap to his gourd was taken off.
"Yo," Kiba smiled and took a seat as Shino just quietly sat behind the loud brunette. "Did I miss anyone making a fool of them selves?"
"You're right on time Kiba," TenTen smirked as she held out her camera.
Tsunade walked onto the stage and announced in a big voice, "May the competition begin!" The crowd burst into cheers and it seems that the villagers had divided into fan groups and a lot of bets were being made down on which team would win. Even Tsunade had to run off stage to place her own bets down before they started. Kakashi walked on stage and his own fan club just went insane, and a few of the kunoichi fans had to be restrained from jumping the stage.
"And representing Team Kakashi, is my "son" and "niece"," he thought he should clarify who they were supposed to be. Naruto and Sakura walked on stage and a lot of people clapped because they could have been Kakashi's family, until some unlucky soul yelled this out.
"Where's his niece?"
"WHAT?" Sakura yelled with fire in her eyes. "I'm his niece you idiot!" She suddenly ripped off her mask, "And I cannot even breathe in this thing!"
"Judges," Tsunade said holding a bottle of sake in her hands.
"We actually have to "judge" them?" Kankuro asked with shock, "I thought we'd make a silent vote at the end-"
"Just judge!" Sakura yelled.
"Calm down," Kankuro grumbled, "Well, the blondie did pretty well, except I can see that stupid grin through that mask."
"Watch it, or I'll come back there. Believe it!"
"See you can't be doing that either," Temari said boldly, "Hatake-san isn't' loud at all and you are ruining the disguise. You couldn't even tell she was girl, so that's not going to work either."
"I hate it," Gaara said bluntly, "you make awful Hatake's." Naruto and Sakura gapped and some people in the crowd booed him, but Gaara gave them his killer glare and they all shut up. "Next." Kakashi got off with his students and was slightly upset. Not that he lost, but that he had wasted his time not reading his book. This time Gai bounded on stage and made a long and youthful speech and announced his student after Anko threatened to rip off his eyebrows. Lee bounded on stage and everyone thought they would win for sure.
"I'm so happy that I, Rock Lee, get the chance to represent Team Gai in the competition." Lee smiled with tears in his eyes, "And if I lose, I will run around this village fifty times on my hands. And if I can't do that, I will do a hundred push-ups and again if I am futile-"
"Shut up!" The crowd just yelled.
"Don't let them get you down my youthful student!" Gai said, "let your youth shine brighter then any flame, and show them the true power of it."
"Gai-sensei"
"Lee"
"Gai-sensei"
"Lee"
"Gai-sensei"
"Lee"
The two ran into a sun-set that wasn't there and the others just watched slightly annoyed and yet in awe of the beauty….of that sunset. I mean that is the most beautiful back drop I have seen and- wait back to the story. Tsunade just looked back at the Suna shinobi and waited for them to get out of there own shock. "Anything to add?"
"I don't think it would have worked," Gaara answered. "Rock Lee is known for being Might-san student that they would have seen through it in a matter of seconds."
"Dude that was about the best ever," Kankuro argued, "they could be related for all we know, have you ever seen Lee's family photo book, no so don't think that couldn't work."
"I'll have to side with Gaara-"
"You always side with Gaara, "Kankuro yelled at Temari like a small child. "Gaara is wrong for once, and yet you still take his side." He burst out into tears and ran off, "why doesn't anyone love me?"
Gaara sneered under his breath, "I told you he would do this, out in the public just to embarrass us." He looked back at Tsunade, "Give me a minute," he walked down calmly in the same direction that Kankuro had gone and they all waited in silence that you could the cogs turning in Shikamaru's brain as he slept.
"I so got you guys huh?" Kankuro
"I'll show you who got who" Gaara
"Alright Gaara, that's funny…okay let's calm down-Is that a real kunai put it down. I mean it Gaara this isn't cool- AHHHH Stop it man!" Kankuro
They came back out with Kankuro looking oh so beat up and Gaara had his usual stoic face. They took their seats and Gaara gave a soft nod, "Continue."
"Right," Asuma stood on stage with a lit cigarette in his mouth. "I don't think this is really a competition but if I must also take part, my "son" and "daughter"." Shikamaru stepped out in his hair was in a low ponytail and then senbon was still in his mouth, while Ino just smiled brightly at the crowd.
"Is that Yoshino's sister?"
"I didn't know she had a sister, and one so young."
"Where's Yamanaka's kid, she should be helping."
"Probably too busy in the restroom putting on make-up."
"That's not very nice Sakura-chan-"
"I'm right here!" Ino yelled at the crowd, "I do not look like his mom," she pointed angrily at Shikamaru, "and cram it Sakura, like your one to talk!"
"Before this gets out of hand," Temari cut in standing up. "That lazy bum looks nothing like Asuma and she can't even keep shut for two seconds. You both fail."
"Troublesome," Shikamaru mumbled out as he undid his ponytail and just scratched his head. Everyone was greatly surprised that the Nara had such soft looking hair.
"I think it's the best one we've seen so far," Kankuro sighed and leaned back in his chair, "how many do we have left, like one right? So I think we save ourselves the five minutes and get on with our lives-"
"Let's just see the last one," Gaara said, "lets not get ahead of ourselves. This last one my be the best-"
"So let's get on with it," Kankuro groaned out and waved Team Asuma off, "last one please." Ino just muttered out curse words as she stomped off stage and Shikamaru lazily followed along not wanting to get stuck alone on stage. Asuma was a bit frightened to see that Kurenai had come from back stage and was smiling evilly with a camera in hand. She was awfully chipper and even the crowd began to get a bit confused when Kurenai seemed more obsessed with getting her camera ready then even announcing her student.
"Kurenai," Kiba yelled, "just hurry up already!"
"Alright, alright," she waved him off and looked up at the crowd with too big of a smile. "I like to present my beautiful daughter, and if you have a camera please take a picture cause I might be out of film." She looked back to the stage and it was silent when no one came out. "We talked about this, come out now."
"I-I d-don't wa-want too-"
"Don't make me come back there!" Kurenai yelled, "I've waited to long for you to not come out." She tipped toed over to the curtain that was hiding the shy contestant and just ripped it off and everyone gasped at the sight before them. Hinata Hyuga stood in the very tight curve hugging uniform that Kurenai where's everyday. The one seeable sleeve was a dark blue and with the bandages that wrapped around her body with a black line going down the middle of the bandages. She wore revealing fishnet shorts and Hinata's cheeks were the darkest of reds because everyone was starring. And the crowd let out a bigger gasp when Hinata finally looked up and her eyes were a blood red.
"Thank you," Kankuro said to Gaara, "I almost wanted to miss this-"
"That's it!" Neji jumped and stage and stood on top of the stage and glared at the crowd with his Byakugan active, "all you perverts better stop looking before I gauge your damn eyes out!" Hinata tired to ease her cousin but he made sure she was protectively behind him while he glared at Kankuro. "And I mean you Sabaku Kankuro, no matter how far you run I will find you."
"Get off the stage Neji," Kiba yelled, "We were just about to win-"
"Like you would win," Ino yelled, "I have got the competition in the bag mutt-"
"Like you look anything like Asuma-sensei Ino-pig," Sakura yelled with a smirk, "I'm wining this mission and I'll bring Sasuke-kun back-"
A really big fight broke out between the shinobi and the sensei's tried to break it up while Kurenai was just taking pictures of Hinata and Neji was holding onto the stage for dear life as TenTen tried to pull him away saying that Hinata would be fine.
"Team Kurenai wins"
Silence
"WHAT!"
"You heard me," Gaara said, "they have the best disguise, but I would have to recommend that they stop by Suna sometime, since we have our own bandit trouble-"
"Liar," Temari yelled pointing at him with a smirk, "I can see the blush on your face Gaara; you just want to get close to Hinata Hyuga." Gaara had steam coming out of his ears and his face practically matched the color of his hair. Hinata face also went a light pink and she bowed to the judges and thanked them.
So we have out winners and you would think this is where this little adventure ends, but you're all wrong; we still have to see how the mission went.
- (One Week Later) –
"I don't believe it," Tsunade and the rest of the teams and their sensei's starred stared as Hinata, Kiba, Akamaru, and Shino came back with the notorious Team Taka in toe. The once missing Uchiha was tied up and gagged as he sat atop Akamaru and his three teammates were hand cuffed tied together on a long line and forced to walk as Kiba pulled them along. Everyone was in a complete shock and not to mention Hinata was still in her disguise. "H-How….How did you do it?" Hinata's face went a light pink and she looked at the ground, while the other two just looked at each other but didn't speak a word. "Well?"
"It was thanks to Ami Yuuhi that we were able to capture the team," Shino spoke calmly as he fixed his glasses and looked up at the blonde. "The Uchiha had decided that he would try to sneak up on Ami, since he had spotted her asking about him in a nearby bar; it was all futile and we had ambushed him and his team, though it was some trouble-"
"Oh enough," Suigestu said, "we all really know what happened. Just tell them that our "daring" and "oh so wise" leader just wanted to get in her pants-" He was shut up with a hit to the head by Kiba and Hinata's face was turning a knew kind of red that even Gaara was surprised. Karin, Sakura, and Ino were in complete shell shock and Neji was being held back by his whole team and sensei from killing the Uchiha.
"I'm very sorry to tell you Uchiha Sasuke," Tsunade smirked, "but this isn't Ami Yuuhi," she nodded to Hinata who just nodded and turned around and removed her contacts. And when she turned back around Team Taka all gapped at the new light lavender eyes that smiled back at them. "Your captor and love interest is Hyuga Hinata."
"Hot damn," Suigestu smirked but was once again hit by Kiba and glared at.
"V-Very s-sorry for th-the mi-mix up U-Uchiha-san," she bowed and then smiled back at him. "Bu-but a lot o-of people wa-wanted you b-back." Hinata was too cute to be mad at and even Sasuke couldn't glare at her and just looked away with almost a pout and blush. She then looked back at her own sensei and smiled, "I-I d-do love th-the l-look Kurenai-se-sensei."
"I knew you would Hinata-chan," she smiled and motioned for Kiba to hand over Sasuke, "now we'll get them to a cell and we'll all celebrate!" Sasuke began to make muffled sounds and Kurenai sighed and took the gag out of his mouth, "What is it?"
"I want to talk to Hiashi Hyuga," he said with a serious face and then smirked, "and I hope that I get to see you more often Hinata Hyuga." Hinata blushed and looked away.
"I'm so sorry then Uchiha-san," Gaara said standing beside Hinata, "but it seems that Team Kurenai will be in Suna helping us with a small issue," he then put his arm around Hinata's waist and smirked at the seething avenger. "Have fun in Konoha's prison." The two had a lightning bolt moment and Neji had to be knocked out and dragged to a hospital.
"Actually," Shikamaru said with a sigh, "It'll be just me and Hinata since Kiba and Shino have other obligations to the village," he looked up at Gaara and glanced at Sasuke with a glint in his eyes. Like he said before when dressing up like Asuma, all he needed was to fall in love with Kurenai and smoke. Smoking was out, so all he had left was Kurenai, and who better then her "daughter." The three could be having a silent battle with one another but Hinata had secretly snuck away and she and her team enjoyed a little time together to celebrate the completed mission and then Shino and Kiba would find a way to make sure that Hinata wouldn't come back pregnant, dating someone, or be forced to come back to find a marriage proposal in front of her.
The great life of a shinobi and competition winner; couldn't it get any better?
