Feminine Wiles

Who Caught Who?

Last Time:

It's getting easier tracking her, but they have only six weeks left to find her. They better hurry ...

XXXXXXXXXX

"Ok ... what the fuck do we do now?" groaned Obito as he sat in a chair next to Kenshin, Tobirama and Kakashi.

Shikamaru paced the floor of the hotel room they were staying at until they got an idea of what to do, "I'm not sure ... she knows we are on to her so she won't risk using her usual methods."

"Yeah ... we need to think of something though and soon." said Kenshin.

Minato and Sakumo ran back into the room, "We know her next target!" They yelled.

"WHAT?! Who?" asked Shikamaru.

"We know she has no problem dropping everything to help a village in need. There's a village being controlled by the violent Destruct gang." panted Sakumo.

Everyone's eyes widened ... that was it! There's no way she wouldn't step in to help!

"Where's the village?" asked Kakashi as they all quickly got ready to go.

"South of here, just on the border of Hot Water. Let's move!" said Minato. They jumped into the trees and moved as fast as they could ... the trees blurred passed them ... the Leaf shinobi never moved so fast before. Only a couple hours later they made it to the village of Steam, but this time they didn't even enter the village ...

"We need to be careful ... let's just watch from a distance." said Shikamaru.

Obito blinked, "but shouldn't we try and find her in there?"

Tobirama shook his head, "Shikamaru's right, we tried getting up close last time and that backfired. This we should watch."

"Actually we should only observe the members of the Destruct gang." said Minato. "After all, she would strike their weak spots, which would be their habits."

Kakashi nodded, "That's right. Gato liked that restaurant and women so she became a waitress and flirted a little. Tarukane was like a fortress, but he liked that imported tea. She's after that, if we find the weaknesses we find her."

So the next two days were spent on surveillance. It wasn't easy because that meant they had to watch the three members of the Destruct gang take what they want and hurt the innocent people of this village, but it was worth it. They found a weakness. Each gang member had a thing for singers ... and it just so happens that there's a show scheduled for tonight ...

"Here it is." whispered Kenshin as he pointed out the bar where the singer was supposed to perform and they snuck in through an open window. Several people were setting up the stage, but it wasn't difficult to slip passed them and find the singer's room ...

As they opened the scent of apples hit their noses and a woman picking her outfit glanced at them, "You boys just love making things tricky for me, don't you? Come in and close the door." said the woman with long blonde hair and exotic curved blue eyes ... it was Naruko, they found her! The seven shinobi went into the dressing room and Minato shut the door as Naruko wiped away some makeup revealing cute whisker like marks on her cheeks.

Kenshin winced, "We honestly never meant to cause you any trouble. It's just we really need your help-... I can't move!" In fact, none of them could! Their bodies were frozen in place!

Naruko smiled and blew out a candle on the table, "Don't worry, boys. It's only a mild paralytic ... this apple scented candle did an excellent job covering the smell." She commented as she grabbed her clothes. "You boys don't mind if I change, do you?" She moved behind them ...
