SHINASUI'S POINT OF VIEW

It was a little past midnight.

The birds were asleep, the world laying down with their loved ones and resting until the start of a new day. However, this night I would not sleep. I would not rest until I fixed something within this city...until I destroyed the evil that lingers here on the streets. I dressed in a silver silk long dress that Takeda bought me. I found a shawl and some sheer looking material in the closet and continued my dress up game. I twisted the sheer material into a headdress to hide my hair, placing Naruto's Anbu mask on my face. I was ready.

I left a shadow clone to sleep in my bed, exiting out the large window in my room here in the Miyamoto estate. I concealed my presence from the few guards that were stationed around the building, making my way into the poorer district. I hid and watched, looking around for any opportunity to fix the broken social status of these human beings. Just as I was about to turn away and head elsewhere, I heard a woman's cry.

"Don't come near me! Don't touch me! I don't wanna go back!" I heard the panicked woman scream. I quickly ran towards the scene to see a bar of some sorts. The woman was being dragged into the bar, a roar of men and crying women inside.

"What the hell?" Without a moment to lose, I casted a genjutsu on myself to have the blue aura that Hani helped describe for me. I dove into this opportunity and broke through the bar. Everything stopped, the men stared at me, the women crying in the corner. The women were in nothing but their underwear, revealing that the bar was just a cover for the truth...a brothel. The women were bruised and battered, beaten with fearful looks on their faces. I walked towards the women, the men staring at me as I made my way towards them. It looked like a group of seven or eight young women that were captured for these men's enjoyment.

With the way these men were staring at me, I prayed silently to myself that the genjutsu was working...considering I see through genjutsus.

"W-what...is that.. ?" One of the men called out. Yep, it's working. Thank god. I guarded the women from the men, staring at the crowd of thirty or so men in the area.

"Hey you! What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"You will not hurt these women anymore." My genjutsu double voice spoke. They looked frightened a bit and the women stared wide eyed.

"W-who are you?!" I stalked forward, making myself seem larger than I was. I forced blue electric chakra to both of my palms...the chidori. The perverted men were walking backwards, afraid.

"No...it can't be...is that the Fox Moon Spirit?" One of the men gasped. They must have been in realization and began running towards the door. I created a clone to block the doorway so I could get my final message across.

"If you harm another woman again, I will kill you." The men fell to their knees on the ground.

"Never again!! We swear!! We swear!!" The clone disappeared and the men left as fast as possible. The women behind me were crying and shaking, absolutely terrified.

"It is all going to be okay. I will help you." One of the women looked a little familiar. I let it go and teleported us to the lake just outside of the city. I spent my time helping to wash the dirt off of these young women, using the little healing jutsus I knew to help these girls.

"Why...why are you helping us?" One girl asked. She must have been about fifteen. My stomach twirled up in a knot with disgust. I don't know what that girl must have experienced being sold in a brothel like that.

"I rely on the moon for my strength...you women need someone to help you stand...so you can rely on your own. You've been told your whole life that you can only sit. I am here to show that you may stand and run as fast as the wind may carry you." The women were in awe of me and it made me feel good knowing I helped them. I needed to use my power as a ninja and influence as royalty to help these women become an equal. They are treated so poorly here...even I had my voice stolen...but with this spirit, I was able to help. I was able to do good for the world.

"Be strong. You are so much more powerful than you feel. You can change this world...and I will help you." I watched the stars in these women's eyes. They were inspired and clearly tired of being treated this way.

"Please...teach us to be strong. Teach us to fight back." I smiled under my mask. The women's revolution starts tonight

~~

I was exhausted, rolling around in bed until I heard a knock on my door.

"Darling...I want to speak to you." I sat up and looked out the window...it much have been three in the afternoon! I quickly jumped out of bed, going through my closet and hiding the things I used to dress up in the night before.

"Just a second!" I threw on a sweater and some pants before running to the bedroom door. I ran my fingers through my hair and opened up the door to see Takeda leaning against the hallway wall. He gave me a charming smile.

"Still asleep?" I blushed a bit before trying to unsuccessfully stifle a yawn. He laughed loudly before looking at me with his electric green eyes. Takeda was very handsome...I'd give him that.

"Shinasui...my darling...I would like to take you out on a date tonight. I feel bad about being so mean to you lately...after all you are the future Queen of this land...you deserve the world and more." I raised my eyebrows. This was all...strangely thoughtful for Takeda...

"A...date?" He placed a stray strand of my silver-white hair behind my ear.

"Of course...I know you said you would never love me...I...I just want to give it a shot." The look on his face was genuine...and I suddenly felt like a jerk for rejecting him before we had a chance to try it.

"So what do you say? Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" His emerald eyes were hopeful, focused entirely on me. He was so handsome that I couldn't help but blush.

"Ah...y-yes...sure.." He gave me a smile before kissing me on the forehead.

"Thank you my love! We will leave as soon as you're ready!"

~~

Takeda took me out for the day and it had to be one of the weirdest things that has happened to me while I've lived in Tenzin. He was a complete and perfect gentleman. He bought me little trinkets and other fun items while we walked around in the rich business district. We finally came to a stop at a restaurant that Takeda said was his favorite.

"So how are you enjoying our date my darling? You look beautiful today, as always." I didn't want to hear his saccharine praise...I just really wanted to go home. But this was my life now so I guess it's better to just try and force myself to feel connected to Takeda.

"It's been nice so far. I've never been on a date before." Takeda gave me an odd look as we were seated at our table.

"Never? But you're the most beautiful woman in the world. Of course you must have had admirers?" Takeda's navy hair fell past his muscular shoulders and chest, his broad and masculine torso was a sight to see. Lucky me...not.

"It was more like the other way around." I stated shyly as I sipped a glass of water the table was set with. Takeda lifted his eyebrow.

"Oh? You had affections for someone..." Takeda stated with a slightly jealous tone.

"Yeah...had. But I'll never see him again.." For some reason...when the words slipped my mouth...I felt like they were laced with poison. This was Neji...the boy that I've loved since I was two years old...since the moment my eyes met with his. The boy I planned my whole life with...the boy I spent endless nights dreaming and weeks of my life crying about. This was the boy who was my everything...and now he's gone...because I left...

Gone because he chose someone else. 

Someone that wasn't as strong as I. Someone that didn't know him like I did. Someone who hadn't seen him at his weakest...someone that didn't pick him up when he was down and lifted him when he needed strength. He was the boy I devoted my heart to. He was the boy I was madly in love with..

"Shinasui?" I looked up to see Takeda give me a concerned look in his emerald eyes.

"Are you okay?" No.

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine." 

"Are you sure?" Absolutely not.

"Of course." He gave me a smile.

"Then let's order some food shall we?"

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Konohamaru and Neji made their way to the main city of Tenzin in the Land of Samurai. They noticed guards at the heavily barricaded entrance and realized that going through the front entrance was not going to be happening.

"Well the front door is a no go. What do you say Captain Prettyboy?" Konohamaru spoke from his hiding spot in the trees. Neji felt an anime vein pop on his forehead.

"Don't call me that. And perhaps we can jump over the wall. We would have to find the weakest point however." Konohamaru groaned.

"That'll take all day! This city is huge! Do you have any better ideas?" Neji gritted his teeth at Konohamaru. He looked into his bag to grab some water and hide his ninja headband.

"Well I could use my byakugan and make clones. That will still take some time-" He looked back up to see no one near him.

"Hey Neji I found a way in!" He looked over to see Konohamaru far in front of him pointing at a herd of brothel women walking on the path towards the city. The guards were preparing to let them in, meaning they had a pass.

"We're men Konohamaru! They'd never let us in." Konohamaru gave Neji a mischievous glance and an eyebrow wiggle. Neji then backed up with a concerned expression.

"Oh no...I don't like that look."

~~

"This is completely ridiculous and idiotic."

"Relax Hyuga. You're just mad because you didn't think of this."

"Only a moron would consider using a perverted jutsu created by a twelve year old as a way to penetrate a highly secure major city." Konohamaru ended up teaching Neji and using the Sexy Jutsu technique created by Naruto (except these two had clothes). Neji was not too happy about it, after all he failed to create a realistic female voice through the ninjutsu. He ended up using genjutsu to cover it up. Konohamaru was a seasoned expert, creating a girl with long brown hair, big breasts, and large round, doe brown eyes. Neji's biggest concern was masking the Hyuga signature pastel eyes and his masculine frame. He changed to a thin, feminine body with his usual long brown hair and light blue eyes.

"I'm just pissed that you could perfectly change yourself on your first try. I can't tell you how many women smacked Naruto and I around because I couldn't impersonate them correctly. Although that voice is something you need to work on...it's a fine art!"

"I'm not the Hyuga Prodigy for nothing. This is so incredibly shameful. Let's just get in this city already." The two successfully hid amongst the crowd of women, entering the city without a problem. 

"Let's find Shina." Konohamaru said with a woman's voice. Neji nodded in agreement. They walked into the city to see it was bustling with people of all calibers. There were poor, middle class, and the rich shopping and wandering about in the evening.  The Konoha ninjas' first thoughts were finding Shinasui and then finding shelter for the night. Konohamaru and Neji walked further down the main road until they spotted the royal mansion. 

"Hey isn't that the main building?" Konohamaru whispered in Neji's ear.

"I believe so. Let's try to find a way in after we find Lady Shinasui." Konohamaru stopped walking.

"Well we don't have to go far." He pointed to Shinasui walking besides Takeda after they stepped out of a restaurant. Konohamaru saw her beautiful silk hair, the color of moonlight, and immediately felt whole again. He wanted to run to her...he wanted to take her away from this place but instead held firm. Neji didn't know what to feel. Shinasui was his best friend and someone he cared about deeply. Seeing her with locked arms with Takeda made him...angry. He wanted to rip his arms off of her. 

"Let's follow them." Neji suggested. Konohamaru nodded.

"Right." They followed the couple to the mansion where several female servants greeted them. They entered the building and suddenly the ninjas' view of the engaged couple was hindered.

"Neji I have another brilliant idea."

~~

Dressed as servants, the two Konoha ninjas walked around the main building in search of Shinasui's room. 

"Where could she be?" Neji groaned. The two "girls" were interrupted in their search however when a woman approached them with a confused look.

"Um excuse me but who are you ladies? I've never seen you before." Neji and Konohamaru looked at each other before quickly deciding an excuse.

"It's ah-..um because we're new! We were assigned to help Lady Shinasui!" Konohamaru quickly lied. The woman narrowed her eyes.

"I thought I was her only assistant." Neji quickly covered Konohamaru's tracks.

"We were assigned to help you with assisting her." The woman looked relieved.

"Oh good." She sighed. "I was getting tired. It'll be nice to have helping hands. What are your names?" The woman asked with a small smile. Konohamaru spoke up first.

"I'm uh...Kana!"

"And I'm Nori." Despite being very creative with their stealth process of entering a highly secured building, the two boys were not very creative with their fake names. 

"It's nice to meet you Kana and Nori. I'm Hani. Lady Shina is in the bath right now so your first jobs are to help her wash her hair and then to give her a pedicure. I'm about to wash her bed linens." The two ninjas looked at each other.

"Uhh..."

"Well hurry up! Her room is the last one to the left. Chop chop!" Neji and Konohamaru were pushed towards the room where they nervously awaited to see the girl they missed dearly. 

"Neji...don't speak in front of Shinasui. She can see through genjutsu." Neji looked at Konohamaru surprised.

"What?"

"Yeah she's immune to genjutsu...she can completely see through it. Luckily the Sexy jutsu is a ninjutsu so she'll still see you as a woman. But since your voice is changed through genjutsu-"

"I can't speak in front of her. Got it." The two boys entered the room to see Shinasui was no where to be found. They then noticed a connecting door was ajar and they walked in, seeing Shinasui laying in a bathtub. The two ninjas' faces were beet red, steam coming from their ears at the sight. Shinasui glanced over at the two girls and raised an eyebrow.

"Hm? Who are you ladies?" Konohamaru swallowed and spoke up.

"We're-" His voice was too high an octave and he brought it down a bit to hide his nervousness. "Kana and Nori...Hani's assitants to help you." Shinasui smiled.

"Oh! Well I'm Shinasui but you can call me Shina. It's a bit odd meeting new people while naked in a bath right?" Shinasui laughed. Konohamaru nervously chuckled while Neji tried to look away, his face red.

"Y-yeah haha."

"Well at least you aren't boys! Then you helping me dry off would be so weird! Haha!" Konohamaru was thinking in his head trying to calm down while Neji was sweating nervously. 

"I already washed my own hair so you don't have to worry about that. I'm ready to get out now though...I don't wanna be pruny." Shinasui then stood up from the tub completely naked in front of Konohamaru and Neji, their eyes wide. Suddenly their noses started gushing blood.

"Oh my god! Are you guys okay?" Konohamaru tried to look away but Shinasui walked up to him, her soapy, wet, naked breasts in front of his face. He nearly fainted. He sharply turned away as he and Neji shoved toilet paper in their noses to try and stop the bleeding.

"Must be the damn dry Winter air..." Konohamaru said with a stuffed nose. Konohamaru wrapped Shinasui in a towel, letting the poor boys relax for a moment.

After Shinasui was dry and dressed in her night gown, the boys brought out the nail filer and nail polish to do her toes. Konohamaru took the left foot and Neji the right, learning how to do a girl's nails while on the job. Shinasui decided to speak to get to know her new assistants.

"So I had an interesting day today. Takeda took me out on a date." Konohamaru looked up before looking back down at her nails, swallowing his anger. Neji narrowed his eyes.

"What was that like?"

"Well...it was a lot of him talking. I've never been on a date before so I'm not sure how it's supposed to be like." Konohamaru was surprised.

"You've never been on a date before?" Shinasui looked like she was thinking.

"Well no. Between you ladies and myself...I was saving myself for one person so I never went on any dates in hopes that he would be my first and only." Neji looked down with a guilty expression on his face. Konohamaru took this opportunity to get to know what Shinasui really felt...to get Neji to understand just how much he hurt her.

"Tell me more."

"Well...he was my best friend...we did everything together. He was smart...sensitive...handsome...truly perfect in my eyes. He was so strong and...just everything about him I liked. I've loved him since I first saw him but he decided that I wasn't worth it...that I wasn't the girl for him. I've never been hurt that horribly before." Neji stopped painting her nails as he listened...every word stinging his heart. Konohamaru already knew all of this...he already knew the pain she felt. He wanted Neji to see the truth.

"Although...for some reason...ever since I came here I've been thinking of someone else and it's weird because I never thought of him this way before." Konohamaru raised an eyebrow.

"Who? Takeda?" Shinasui shook her head with fond smile on her face as she reminisced. 

"No...an idiot. He always competed with me and did stupid stuff. My brother adored him as if he was his own little brother...he was always on my nerves." Konohamaru listened intensely...wanting to know what Shinasui was getting at. The two finished painting her nails, Neji's looking better, giving her an opportunity to stand up. Shinasui walked towards a drawer in her nightstand and pulled it out, taking out something from it.

"And for some reason I carry his stupid blue scarf with me so I am reminded of him everywhere I go."

~~

Obito was preparing to leave Konoha for his journey to the Rain Village, although he had one final stop before he left. He entered Minako's hospital room after visiting hours were over, seeing the woman sleeping as she laid still on the bed. Obito smiled sadly at her before walking over and petting her rouge hair. 

"I'm sorry I have to leave you here...I wish I could stay but I have to do what I can to protect this village...to protect Shinasui...to protect you.."

"I'll see you when I get back." Obito kissed her on the forehead, wishing with everything in him that she would wake. After his lips left her cool skin, he vanished using kamui.

The ring that was poisoning Minako suddenly shook, glowing gold. The curse that could only be broken by a bond of true love was lifted, causing the ring to shatter.

The Hokage finally opened her violet eyes.
