Chapter 19: Code Byakugan: Hotaru of the Revolution.

Part 9: It's a trap

When they say I will be send out in disguise, I expect just basic alternate clothes and a wig. But of course, genius ninjas being genius gotta make everything complicated.

"No, we need to use this set of Land of Lightning clothes in order to sell that he is of that origin. He has blue eyes."

"No, that would be too inconspicuous! Konoha has bad blood with Kumo, so a Lightning native will send read alarms!"

"I told you, we should dress him up as..."

I sighed as overthinking spy experts keep discussing the best way to hide my existence, and I can see Cersei is getting bored of waiting. Not wanting to bother wait for the experts to finally settled with a fake persona with 100 pages of dense backstory, I just took some hair extension, a mini, blue version version of okita souji's clothes, you know, the pink one, google it, and a leather boot, coz I'll be damned if i wear this ninjaverse stupid sandals that Kishimoto made up just because he has toes fetish.

I dressed up as the so called disguise experts bantered and look in the mirror. Look at that, Hotaru. You look just like your mom, if she's 11 years old.

Cersei looks at me with interest, and the experts had stopped.

"Child! You look just like a little girl without even the need for henge jutsu! You must be an infiltration genius!"

That's because I am born a trap, dumbass. I used to get hit on by Class F boys all the time becoz quote, I am so cute so there's no way I am a boy! Why the fuck 8 years olds had already been busy trying to find mating partners is beyond me, and just goes to show how much of a screwed up place this damned village is.

I think I understand now why Haku become a drone with no self drive. The trauma of getting hit on all the time coz everyone think you're a girl probably grinded his masculine confidence to the ground.

"Hmph! Even if he looks like a girl, he can't hide that he behaves like one!", Cersei doesnt believe in me. Hanabi was both cringing over me crossdressing and envy that I look so cute.

"Oh, watch me, ladies"

I then start walk to and fro in the dressing room, adjusting my posture and walking pattern. I adjust my mannerism to be more girllike, observing the spectators reaction to adjust my adaptation. Add more elegance but innocent vibe. Look weaker and gentle. Hotaru, you are a girl. Always had been. Its all about the mindset

After a few minutes, it clicked, and Makoto Hotaru, the slave boy is no more.

Makoto Hotaru, the adorable and innocent bridesmaid is here.

Hanabi and the disguise experts's eyes went wide. It was as if there is a sudden change in the world and they can't seem to figure out what.

"Child… no, Hotaru, would you like to join the Honey Trap Division of our clan?", they have to ask. What they just saw is a once in a generation infiltration talent.

I simply dismiss their recruit offer. Honey traps? Such thing is beneath me. I am a pure maiden and deserve to be treated as a treasure.

)))))))))

The thing I found tedious about being a girl is that we walk really slow. Like really slow. And its not just the length of our stride either. In general, we walk with less energy compared to boys.

Though, the free gifts and special treatment just by being cute girl with rosy cheeks and give cute smiles and act like everything is made of sunshine and cotton candy is pretty enjoyable. I should dress up as a girl and flip into the Fem Hotaru persona when going to the market after I get free. I did not know that cute girls get discounts just because we exist.

"I hate you so much….." Hanabi ranted in mutters as I get yet another free gift in the form of 3 sticks of dango.

"You're a cute girl too, Hanabi. Believe in your inner cute.", I suggested.

"hmph! Unlike you, I still have my dignity and won't use my charms just to get free gifts.", Hanabi faced away from me with a pout.

"Good for you then.", I munch off my last stick of dango.

Hanabi sulked. That's what you get for not asking me some. Can't expect me to provide for you.

Now, what is my job exactly following Cersei out for shopping? Well, its security. Jaime, the twin who become the Branch member serves as the obvious bodyguard, while I am the hidden bodyguard. Since she is the bride who will marry into Suna's ninja royalty, her safety is in threat. This wedding is important in order to strengthen the Suna-Konoha alliance.

"This shop is worthless! Let's move to a different mall!", Cerseis ordered us.

I sighed. Naruto and Sasuke was just at that corner of the streets. I was this close to make contact.

"Hotaru, what are you waiting for?', Hanabi asked.

"Oh, nothing.", I placed my final dango stick to the ground.

(((((Dog)))))

Once the Hyuuga entourage had left the business street. Dog has dropped down from the perch he was hiding from and inspect the dango sticks that Makoto had stick on the ground, at the back of the dango stall.

Hotaru had left him a clue. At least, that's what he thinks. The problem was about deciphering what Makoto meant.

"this has to mean something ." Kakashi muttered.

After a bit of thought, he concludes that the sticks is arranged into a Morse code. And it read,

"K N I F E"

Knife.

Knife, planted in the back of dango stall. No. On the back. On ground. No, earth. Knife planted on the back of dango stall on Earth. Knife. Plant. Dango. Dango is white. What is also white and round? Rice ball. No. The moon. Hyuuga worship the Goddess that comes from the moon. Kaguya. Kaguya has Byakugan. Byakugan came from Kaguya. Hyuuga has Byakugan. Knife planted on the back of Byakugan, on Earth. Hyuuga elemental affinity is Earth. Earth and Moon are one and the same. Knife planted on the back of Byakugan.

Knife planted in the back of Hyuuga. Backstab.

Hyuuga will be betrayed.

"Nah, it can't be.", Kakashi shakes his head. "Makoto Hotaru wouldn't leave a hidden message this smart under surveillance. This is not how the Outstupid Maneuvers works."

Kakashi sighed. He has a lot more to learn in how to harness the Power of Stupid. There is so much to learn from Makoto.

Kakashi leaves. Makoto must have just leave the sticks in the ground for no reason. The Morse Code is just a coincidence.

(((((((Hotaru)))))))

Kakashi is a genius at this underneath the underneath thing. I think he'll get my message.

Right now, Cersei is naked in the fitting room of the bridal shop, as Hanabi and the other attendants picked another dress for her to try.

You know, after this few months of living with the Hyuuga clan, I had come to realize that all of the Hyuuga female members has big tits. Like, they all have C cups at the smallest. no flatties here sir. The Hyuuga clan through the deep science of ninja eugenics had totally eliminated flat genes from their bloodline.

I looked at Hanabi. I nod sagely. Hanabi has a bright future ahead of her.

Man, I've started thinking about tits often now these days. Must be early signs of puberty. That's good. Chakra reserve grows the fastest during puberty. Naruto and Sasuke would hardly become the chakra monsters they become had it not because of puberty, Kyuubi and Mangekyo factor aside.

"Gosh, white dress is so boring~~", Cersei complains for the 100th time.

"Lady Cersei, it is tradition to…", Hanabi tried to reason but Cersei rudely cut her off.

"Shut up, slave! Tradition, tradition tradition! Tradition is so boring. And white is so boring!", Cersei throw her tantrum.

"Well, what about the color red?", another servant suggested. "It is a lucky color and symbolize passion. Brave and stunning."

"You know what, that is such a great idea! The Goddess Kaguya was said to descend into our world during Red Moon! It's only right for me to don the color of a goddess! Everyone, throw everything we bought to the trash! We're changing our theme to red! Chop chop!"

The servants groans as their half day work just got wasted and now they have to do this all over again.

Meanwhile I snickered on the back.

The color of red, and a wedding. This seems like a too obvious foreshadowing.

Nah, couldn't be. That will be too obvious.

Tete tetete tee tetete teee tete te teee~~~~~~

((((Author's note))))

- The chapters I wrote today is not as funny as I liked. It looks like writer fatigue finally caught up to me.

- Beside fatigue, I think I just running out of things to take a crack at as Hotaru had been stuck in the Hyuuga plot for too long. He's also very limited with what he can do with his current power.

- Maybe I should take a few days break. I had used up my insanity so much that I ended up back to sanity.

- This Hyuuga plot should be done in 3 or 4 more chapters. After that, I will take an indefinite hiatus. This was supposed to be a random crack fic I made out of whim while having fatigue of drawing my OG comic.

-Thanks for the reviews and support, from my few reviewers. I honestly don't know what to expect with people reaction to this crack cocaine fueled of a story (No actual drugs are consumed during production of this fanfic. This insane fever dream of a fic is all natural and organic). I made this fic mostly for my personal amusement, so if you enjoyed my brand of comedy, I am glad.
