I do not own, nor will I ever own Naruto.

I do not think I am sane. do you? No, wait, you have no idea what I have in store for this. let's just say, this is gonna be weird. Very Weird. and Random. .

Just Ludicrous

"You want WHAT?!?" demanded Naruto and Sakura.

"I want you to learn how to maintain justsus for extended amounts of time. There's a mission that we are beeded for, but it requires the ability to maintain jutsus for days on end."

"How do we do that?" asked Naruto. Sasuke rolled his eyes, even though he personally had no idea either.

"Naruto, didn't you pay attention in calss at all"

"Not really, I didn't understand. Can you explain it for me?"

Sakura sighed. "Allright. There is a pattern of hand signs you do before performing the jutsu which specifies that you want to devote some of your daily chakra to that specific jutsu. then you perform the jutsu itself, adding the Ram sign at the end repeatedly, to signal how many days you wish for this jutsu to last. you can release the justu, but it takes time to do the full pattern of hands signs. it draws on your chakra heavily, though, so unless you have massive amounts of chakra, you can't do any other jutsus while this one is activated. "

"Thank you, Sakura." Kakashi nodded. "Now, our mission is within the village hidden in the Mist. As you guys know, if we go as ourselves, we will be recognized almost immediately."

Sasuke turned to Kakashi-sensei. " 'Go there as ourselves' ?"

"Well, yes. the mission is specific to us, but we must remain under cover. therefor, you three will have to learn to maintain transformation jutsus for as long as a week at a time."

Naruto nodded. "Transformation, okay. but transform into what?"

"Well, that's the thing. you have to transform into something that no one will recognize. the sagest go would be to transform into someone of the opposite gender."

Naruto shrugged. "No problem." Sasuke and Sakura looked a little more worried. Sakura piped up.

"S-someone of the opposite gender? You mean, like Naruto's Sexy no Jutsu?"

Kakashi nodded. "Exactly. This is easy enough for Naruto, simply because he already knows what his female counterpart looks like."

Sasuke stayed silent, but inside, he cringed at the idea of performing Naruto's jutsu.

"Wait, Kakashi-Sensei! Does that mean that you know yours? Sakura and Naruto were suddenly fascinated.

"Why yes, I do."

"Show it! show it!" Kakashi waved them back with a hand. "All in good time. Naruto, how about you perform your jutsu, with the clothes on, so that the other two can have an idea to what hand signs to use."

Naruto squinted at Kakashi, then made the hand signs. there was a flash, a cloud of smoke, and Naruto's counterpart stood. in her jumpsuit, pigtails and all. "The hand signs was the usual one for transformation." She told the other two. Sakura nodded, Sasuke looked bored. Naruto released his jutsu, then turned to Sasuke. "Now you try."

Naruto's team mate glared at him, then brought his hands together into the Ram sign, focusing and centering his chakra. then, in a similar explosion to Naruto's, a new form appeared. a girl, with black hair in long bangs and a short ponytail, stood in Sasuke's clothes.

"pretty good, but you should shorten yoru bangs a bit," advised Naruto critically, "you're still too recognizable."

Sasuke nodded, and adjusted the illusion.

"Great! Now, Sakura," the blond ninja turned to her, "your turn." Sasuke released his jutsu, and watched on.

"Okay." Sakura made the handsign, and performed the jutsu. As the smoke vanished, Naruto raised his eyebrows. "Nice one, Sakura!'

A boy, slightly taller than Sakura, stood in her place. his pink hair was short in the back, but long bangs hung down in the front. His clothes were also different, a red tank top with white edging and blue shorts that reached his knees.

"Yeah, well, I thought that if I'm gonna try to get the appearance right, then I should look as I really should." he released the jutsu, and the three turned to their sensei.

"Well?" Naruto and Sakura chorused.

"Tomorrow is another day, guys, and you need to get packed for the mission. I;ll meet you at the gates at sunrise, okay?" with that, their sensei vanished.

"Graaaaah!" Shouted Naruto. "why wouldn't he show us his jutsu?"

Sasuke shrugged.

"Hey", said Sakura, "Since we have new appearances, dont you think we should have new code names, too? I mean, it's not very secret if I start yelling 'Naruto' down the street."

Sasuke nodded. "That makes sense."

"You two should have pretty names," added Sakura, "Like how mine's Sakura."

Naruto nodded. "Yeah, we have to change that, too."

"Here, Sasuke," Sakura suggested, "Why don't you go by Sasayaki?"

"'Whisper'? Fine."

"And for you, Naruto, how about Neji?"

"'Neji'? why the heck would I wanna be named after that loser?"

Sakura glared. "Because, Naruto, you seem to have an affinity for spirals, okay?"

Naruto cringed in face of the glare, and, to regain some calm, babbled, "It's great! Really! How 'bout you be Sakusen, Sakura!"

"Hmmm, 'Strategy'. I like that."

Naruto suddenly grinned widely. "Hey, what should we call Kakashi-sensei, in case he doesn't have a code-name?"

Sasuke spoke up. " Ningyo. Means doll."

"Doll?"

Sasuke nodded. "Scarecrow, doll."

Naruto stated squirming. "Aw man, now I just wanna know what she looks like even more!"

Sakura looked worried. "Hey, you guys don't have any girl's clothes! And I don't have any guy's stuff."

"So?"

"So, Naruto, while your usual jutsu usually lasts for a couple seconds, this is gonna be at least a week!"

"Sakura's right. We have to pick up the essentials." Sasuke stood with his arms crossed.

A blush spread across Naruto's face. this was going to be funny.

Wow, I cant believe it's this long. and it's only going to get weirder. just think of bra shopping and other embarrassing stuff!
