Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Naruto or any of the characters *sigh*


Lady Tsunade has begun to take an interest in psychology. She had been fascinated, her lips curling up into a mischievous smile as she read a book, and decided that In order to learn more about the subject, she would have to experiment... And she knew the perfect shinobi to act as her guiny pigs.

The rookie nine stood stiffly in front of her desk, shifting nervously as they eyed one another. The mission they were receiving must be of great importance if this many were summoned. All attention flew to the blonde woman as she coughed, the sound vibrating through the heavy air.

"I have decided to run an experiment that could possibly benefit the village as a whole and I need you guys to partake in it." She eyed them all down, indicating that she was not taking no for an answer. Besides, who would even deny their protector anything? Only the council of course, but nobody liked them much.

"Ano... What's it all about?" Kiba asked, a steady hand reaching up to scratch the back of his head. "I have written certain roles out on slips of paper and put them into this little bag. Each of you will pull one out and act with that persona for a week. You will each receive a tracker and recording device. Should you fail, you will be flunked back into the academy."

The shinobi were speechless as shizune walked to each with the small bag, a look of wariness on her face.

The hyuuga heiress paled as she looked onto the slip of paper she had gotten. In the middle, in a neat print, was scrolled the word "rebel." How was she going to pull that off? She couldn't even finish a sentence without stuttering! For goodness sakes, she felt as if she were going to pass out on the spot. Her wolfish teammate frowned besides her, looking at his slip that spelled out "fashionista." What the hell was that? Oh Kami, please don't tell him he had to act like a GIRL. He tensed at the thought, elbowing the quiet bug user next to him as in indicator to see his new persona. "Narcissus." He sighed, pushing his glasses up. "T-that means conceited..." Hinata explained, causing kiba to burst out in laughter.

The tension in the room slowly began easing up, it seemed as though this little game would actually be fun. Not to mention, everyone will learn a little something, be it courage or humility.

"What did you get Naruto?" The bubblegum haired girl inquired. She showed him hers, which declared that she was now a "body builder." The blonde's cheeks puffed up as he attempted to control his giggle fit, resulting him in getting his head bonked. "Mine says struggling artist." It was sakura's turn to laugh. Their dark haired teammate's face was locked into a heavy glare at his paper, which peaked the interest of the other two. Sasuke quickly slid it into his pocket and looked away, cheeks burning with embarrassment. His had read "hopeless romantic."

In the corner, a lazy yawn was given as he passed his slip over to his nosy teammate, a wheat colored eyebrow lifting up in a perfect arch. "As if you could be a womanizer." She said, handing it back without an interest. "Whatever." He shrugged. The blonde turned to the secretary and pushed a hand into the bag, excitement prickling the hairs on the back of her neck. She unfolds the piece of paper and reads aloud, "gothic." Her mouth sets into a harsh line and she grudgingly looks over at the hokage. "I don't look good in black." Chouji choked on a potato chip when he read his, which had "health nut" written all over it.

"Well there you have it. Good luck" And with that, they were dismissed.
