Tsunade rested on a tree branch waiting for Kusaki to arrive. They were in a area of the forest used for training. Tsunade watched Hinata, Sakura, Ino, and Tenten sparring, when she heard a rustle in the trees. Though she knew it was going to happen, she laughed cruelly with the other girls when she saw Kusaki.

He was wearing ornate earrings, eyeshadow, blush, and red lipstick. He had on an elegant kimono and the most dainty looking pair of high heels you could imagine. He was wobbling, and as he walked forwards, fell on his face.

Kusaki had emptied much of his savings buying the clothing. Buying it had been awkward and embarrassing. Walking all the way across the village in this outfit was another. Three gay men had slipped him their phone numbers.

The women gathered around the cross dressing boy and mocked him mercilessly. Kusaki knelt on the ground and took it.

Tsunade lifted her hand. "Kusaki, welcome to the second task for your freedom. The real point of these tasks is to break down some of these silly thoughts men get. The first one helped you realize you weren't equal to a woman socially. It's good for a man to be humiliated once in a while. This time, we're going to break that stupid notion men get that they are stronger than women. We are all going to get ten minutes in a fight with you. If you can beat us, then the second task will be a cakewalk. Don't worry, I'll heal you after every fight, so you will be at the top of your game.

Kusaki felt a shred of hope, if he could beat these girls.....

Tsunade's eyes flashed. "Don't get too hopeful, Kusaki. I am first.

Tsunade and Kusaki stood ten feet away from each other. Tsunade allowed Kusaki to take off the kimono and heels only after he groveled in front of them for a minute.

The girls stood to the side, rooting for Tsunade. "Kick his ass, Hokage-Sama.

Tsunade looked at the doomed child. "Now we show respect for our opponents. Kiss my feet."
Kusaki went to the blonde bombshell, knelt on the ground, and planted a kiss on the strap of each shoe. Tsunade smirked when she saw he had left clear lipstick marks. Kusaki stood.

Tsunade started "Now, I will show my respect for you" Kusaki thought it would be nice to be shown respect, even if it was a slight bow. But he wasn't all that suprised when Tsunade spat in his face instead. The girls shrieked with laughter. When Kusaki went to wipe it away, he got such a scary look from Tsunade that he instead went back, and entered a fighting stance, her glob of spit dripping down his face.

Tsunade gestured for him to make the first move. He ran at her with a punch, only to have her slap him across the face.

Kusaki's world unhinged. He fell to the ground unable to see. He felt himself being picked up, and leaned against a tree. His vision cleared enough for Kusaki to see Tsunade's foot connect with his face. He felt blood in his mouth. For the next five minutes, Tsunade used his face to practice her kicks, turning him into a toy instead of a sparring partner. Completely beaten, Kusaki was bawling as Tsunade pulled him from the tree and forced his face into the ground. "Eat." She commanded. Kusaki started gorging himself on the dirt. When she was satisfied, Tsunade pulled Kusaki over her lap, and spanked him like a five year old boy. It was at that point that Kusaki lost much of the will to be a ninja. Tsunade finished by throwing him on the floor, and allowing him to pathetically lick her shoes until the ten minutes ran out. The girls stood in awe of their mentor. She began to talk like she was in a classroom, rather than standing over a bloodied boy who was licking her shoe like a dog.

"You see girls, I only had to use basic skills to beat this male. They just don't train as hard. This one might think that I beat him because of my experience, but in reality, I used the level of strength I had when I was a ten year old.

Tsunade joined the girls in a round of laughter, and Kusaki continued cleaning the womans shoe, feeling even worse. Tsunade reluctantly leaned down and healed Kusaki in a few seconds, then left him crying on the ground.

"Now, Kusaki, lets see how your masculine strength stands up to women your age. Keep in mind that they have been training here for hours, with any skill at all you should beat them easily.

It was true, the girls were slick with sweat, but Kusaki looked in their eyes and knew what was coming.
