Tsunade

Standing at the gates, their fearless leader, the Hokage, was waiting for them to return. Tsunade wanted to know the situation about Sasuke, and considered it a high priority. Hinata, predictably, did not want her village's leader to see her in the buff, so she hid behind Shino's back.

The team stopped in front of Tsunade and Kiba and Naruto gave the report, with Shino and Hinata standing off to the side.

After hearing the report, Tsunade closed her eyes to think, before declaring that team 8 and Naruto was to be sent off immediately on another mission, this time, as information gathering on possible whereabouts on Orochimaru. It was then that Tsunade realized she hadn't seen Hinata.

"Say boys..." Tsunade began, "Where is Hinata? I was sure she was on this mission too."

"Oh, her? She is hiding behind Shino!" Naruto answered, happy to have chance at getting Sasuke back so soon.

Tsunade thought this a little odd, so she marched toward Shino and Hinata.

"Hinata! Why are you hiding?" Tsunade demanded politely.

Now Hinata was so focused on staying hidden from somebody as important as Tsunade, she hadn't been listening to the conversation at all. It was quite the unexpected scare to hear her name come from Tsunade's mouth so close to her. Hinata poked her head (and only her head) out from behind Shino, who was standing heroically still for Hinata's sake, and turned yet another shade of red.

"Ummm....." Hinata had no idea what to say, it was taking all of her willpower right there not to faint, "I'm... ummm...kind of... naked"

"What are you? I couldn't hear you"

To the mortification of Hinata, it was Shino that spoke next.

"She is naked, it was an unfortunate accident."

"Cut the crap kid, there's no way a kid like Hinata would willingly walk back to the village in the buff, as embarrassed as she seems." Tsunade doubted Shino.

Shino suddenly moved to the side, revealing Hinata, who gasped and hid her naughty bits behind her hands, using reflexes the yellow flash would be jealous of, much to both Tsunade and Hinata's surprise. Tsunade openly gawked at Hinata for a moment, then regained her composure.

"What kind of accident leaves a girl like Hinata completely nude for days on end?!"

"It was totally Naruto's fault!" Kiba cut it, "He stole her clothes at the beginning of the meeting, then lost them when it was time to come back!"

Naruto, surprised, yelled out "EHH?!!! no way are you pinning this on me dogboy! It's not like I meant to lose them!"

"Dogboy? listen here y-!"

"Enough you two! A ninja should show restraint in how they behave in front of their Hokage!" Tsunade yelled, hitting both the boys over the head. "Now, back to important matters...
