Author's Note: Right, On my profile page I made note of the fact that I still have multiple other fics going on underground. One of my astute readers has run out of my previous material to read, and has requested I put up some of these stories as well. Here you go, Fuyuriku one of my other Naruto stories.

Summary: During a mission (Which takes place after Wave, but before Chuunin exams) Team seven gets ambushed. I an attempt to save Sakura Naruto lures away the enemy Shinobi and promptly gets OWNED. He wakes up the next day, but something isn't quite right, He's a girl! Yep, I know, wierd. I got my idea to write this fic after reading "He Said, She Said" By EroSlackerMicha. So, there may be some similarities. (IE I didn't know who else to help him be a girl, and the preliminaries)

Right, enjoy the fic, it was actually quite a lot of fun to right Naruto as an emotional fragile little girl, sure wasa nice twist from the usual "I'm an unflinching hardass that will destory you" Naruto that I usually write :)

Naruto opened his eyes and looked around as everything came into focus 'What happened...' he thought, then it clicked and a memory flashed before his eyes of the previous events.

Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, and he were on a mission. Sasuke, who always received special training from Kakashi had no trouble handling himself when they were ambushed, but Naruto and Sakura were different stories. Naruto dove in the way of a volley of Kunai to protect her and told her to run to Kakashi, which she did. Naruto then did his best to beat back the assaulting Shinobi, and failed miserably.

'I should be dead' he thought. 'They stabbed me so many times, how am I alive' he asked himself.

Naruto looked around where he was, there was a stream running by a few yards away and he saw lots of gravel, he remembered being taken down near a stream, they must have left him there. "Why would they leave me alive?" He asked, and in that split second he knew something was wrong. His voice, it was unnaturally high, so high that it didn't sound like himself. He looked down to inspect himself and saw a significant bulge in his jacket and his eyes widened. "What the hell is happening!?" He yelled as he grabbed the zipper of his jacket and ripped it down, revealing his black T-shirt, which was stretched against the bulge, which he could now tell there was two of. He quickly pulled his shirt up to inspect and his jaw dropped as a pair of breasts bounced freely of his shirt.

"What the fuck is going on!?" He yelled frantically as he surveyed his entire body, thin feminine arms, female hands with more shapely nails. Long slender legs were hidden by his baggy pants, a flat toned stomach, a longer thinner face, and finally, long flowing blond hair.

Naruto panicked as he looked himself over "How the hell did I henge in my sleep? And how come it's not an illusion like normal?" He said as he felt his arm and it was solid. He quickly brought his hands up and formed the ram seal. He attempted to spike his chakra but failed to. He tried again and again, only to have the same result. He was panicking and yelled out in his high voice "Why can't I turn back!?"

He looked at his feminine body and whimpered "What's happened to me?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around himself, "And where is everyone" he whimpered.

Naruto looked around and stood on shaky legs before losing his balance and falling on his now rounder bottom "What's wrong with me, this has never happened to me when I henged before" he said.

Naruto crawled on hands and knees over to a tree, where the gravel turned to grass and used it to stand up again, and once he was standing he looked around. "How am I supposed to get back to Konoha?" he said.

"I know it's to the east, but the suns about to go down, and I don't know anything about finding much food in the wild" Naruto slowly slid down the side of the tree and pulled his legs up to his chest and started to cry, which in itself showed something was wrong with him.

Naruto slowly cried himself to sleep at the base of the tree, not having a clue what was happening to him.

The next morning came, and Naruto woke at the sunlight's warm caress. He yawned and stretched and looked down at himself and realized it was not a dream, he was still stuck like this. "Well, I've got to go east to get to Konoha, I guess I should hurry, the sooner I get there, the sooner I can find out why I can't change back, and why I was left to die" he leaned against the tree and braced himself as he stood, and noticed his balance was better than the day before, he could stand now.

He released the tree and took a few steps away from the tree and smiled at the simple fact that he could stand and walk now, and his pants fell down to his ankles, and his boxers quickly started to slide down his shapely hips before he snatched them and held them in place. He bent down and lifted his pants up "Why does my life have to suck this much" He whined to himself.

He pulled his belt free of his pants and looked at it, it was at the last notch, he pulled a Kunai out of his holster and quickly punched a handful of new holes into it and refastened his belt, and smirked when his pants were now snuggly hugging his new hips.

He quickly looked at the sun and started heading east. He tried to channel chakra to his legs to increase his speed and a frowned when nothing happened "What's wrong with me?" He said "Why can't I control my chakra at all". He sighed and continued on towards Konoha at a steady walk, without the chakra to enhance the performance of his body he would pass out from exhaustion after just a few miles of running at top speed, so he had no choice but to walk.

After a few hours of walking his stomach growled and he whimpered 'I don't know what's safe to eat out here, no one ever taught me that stuff...and Konoha was a two day trip while sprinting, it's gonna be a long, long walk"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A week passed agonizingly slow for Naruto as he slowly made his trek back to Konoha, he finally saw the gates of the village coming into view and tears of joy began to run down his whiskered cheeks, never in his life had he been so happy to see the village. He hadn't eaten anything in the week he'd been walking, only drinking water when he found it. In his extreme hunger he was often hit with periods of extreme dizziness where he would trip and fall, and as a result the knees and shins of his pants were nearly gone from debris, along with the elbows and arms of his jacket. His entire wardrobe was covered in rips and tears as well, from his original assault from the Shinobi, as well as trying to fight his way through patches of thick vegetation before he found the road.

He slowly walked up to the gates of the village in disarray, his clothes were torn, his hands were dirty, his long blond hair, which reached his lower back was tangled and dirty, there was spots of dried blood all over his jumpsuit from his attack, and he was starving. But that all paled in comparison to the fact that he was still stuck as a girl!

He walked up to the gate guardhouse where Izumo and Kotetsu were stationed and he staggered heavily as another bout of dizziness hit him. He was about to eat dirt for about umpteenth time before Kotetsu caught him and looked at him. "Whoa there, are you okay?"

Naruto looked up to Kotetsu and groaned "Do I look okay to you!?" he yelled.

Kotetsu shook his head as he set the mysterious blond girl back on her feet "Uhh, no you don't. Is there any reason you're coming to Konoha like this? Or why you're wearing boys clothes?"

Naruto fumed and punched Kotetsu in the shoulder "I am a boy you asshole!" he yelled "It's me, Naruto!" He yelled again.

Both of the older boys eyes widened "What the hell, why are you henged into a chick then? And why do you look like shit?" Izumo asked.

Naruto flexed his hands and yelled "I don't know what the hell is happening to me, I woke up like this and I can't control my chakra at all"

Kotetsu raised his hands in a calming gesture and spoke softly "Alright, alright. But why aren't you with Kakashi, Sasuke or Sakura? They came back to the village over a week ago, Kakashi said you ran away from the mission"

Naruto's eyes widened in shock and tears formed in the corners of them "Why the hell would they think that? We got ambushed by a bunch of Shinobi, they chased me down after I told Sakura to run to Kakashi and they beat the shit out of me, I still don't know how I'm alive"

Kotetsu sighed "You better find them and explain it then, everyone thinks you bailed on the village, and you better drop that henge"

Naruto whimpered sadly "I can't. I don't know what's going on but I can't release it, and I feel weird"

Izumo shrugged "I dunno what would do that, but you better go"

Naruto nodded and slowly walked passed them and into Konoha, he didn't even know where his team would be, so he headed for the Hokage tower.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto eventually made it to the tower and slowly climbed the stairs, stumbling a few times due to his exhaustion, he'd never been so tired in his life. He made it to the top of the stairs and dragged himself down the hall and knocked on the Hokage's office door.

Sarutobi looked up from his stack of papers and told the person at his door to come in, his door opened slowly and in walked what Sarutobi instantly recognized as Naruto in his sexy no jutsu henge. But more than that he saw the condition of the boys body, his ripped up clothes and tangled hair and his dirty state. "Naruto? You have a lot of explaining to do, Kakashi tells me you ran from the mission"

Naruto lifted his head and looked at the Hokage as tears streamed down his slim face "But I didn't" He said in his high voice.

Sarutobi's eye twitched in anger "Naruto, drop the henge, it's not going to get you any sympathy"

"I can't" he admitted sadly.

Sarutobi, not in the mood for jokes stood from his desk and yelled at Naruto "Naruto! Drop the henge this instant! I'm not playing around here!"

Naruto had never seen Sarutobi this mad, and he'd never been screamed at by him, thus, he staggered backwards and fell on his bottom and tears started to stream down his cheeks "B-but I can't drop it, I don't know what's wrong with me!" He sobbed, the combined stress of everything he'd experienced causing him to finally break down.

Sarutobi himself was quite stunned, as he'd never even seen Naruto cry before, not emotionally at least. He stood from his desk and walked over to Naruto, who had buried his face in his hands as he cried. He sighed and tapped Naruto on the shoulder an sternly said "Kai" while spiking his chakra into Naruto.

He was shocked, for there was no response, nothing at all. He tried twice more before taking a step back and surveying Naruto's situation. He realized Naruto was obviously freaking out and he bent down and wrapped his arms around him and hugged him tightly and said "It's alright Naruto, We'll find out what's wrong"

Naruto nodded faintly and fell asleep in Sarutobi's arms, who sighed. 'Looks like it's another visit to the hospital' he thought and scooped Naruto off the ground and instantly knew something was wrong with the boy, he weighed far to little, Naruto weighed in at sixty kilograms before, now, he could only weigh maybe forty-five, tops. He shifted Naruto's weight in his arms and lifted his shirt a bit and gasped, Naruto's ribs were visible 'What the hell, why is he so skinny?' He thought. 'Did he not eat anything on the way back to Konoha?' He quickly pulled his tattered black shirt back down over his stomach and left his office for the hospital, paperwork could take a backseat for a while.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto awoke the next morning and groaned when he still had breasts, he took in his surroundings and sighed, 'For once, I'm happy to be in the hospital, I'll be back to normal in no time' He thought happily.

He sighed contentedly for the first time in over a week and sank deeper into the pillows of the bed and relaxed while waiting for someone to come check on him or something.

After about an hour of lying there the door to his room opened and Sarutobi stepped in and closed the door behind him. Naruto pushed up onto his hands and smiled at Sarutobi "So Jiji, when am I going to be back to normal?" he eagerly asked.

Sarutobi sighed, this was going to suck. It's not everyday you have to tell a fifteen year old boy that he is now, and forever will be, a female. "Naruto...I'm not entirely sure how to say this to you, but we've run every test we can, Blood tests, DNA, everything. You're one hundred percent female now, inside and out"

Naruto's eyes widened and her(As she will be from now on, apart from when characters are just meeting him as a girl, they will think of her as 'him' for a little bit) jaw opened and closed a few times before she finally asked "Wh-what do you mean, how can that even be remotely possible!?"

Sarutobi looked down, not willing to see the look in Naruto's eyes "We're not sure how it happened or what caused it, we just know it happened. I have a seal master coming to the village in about three weeks, he'll check if the Kyuubi was involved somehow"

Tears formed in the corner of Naruto's eyes and quickly startled to trail down her cheeks "I'm...I'm going to be a girl for the rest of my life?" she asked, not believing it.

Sarutobi nodded slowly, and Naruto broke down crying, then again, it's not everyday that you have everything that makes you you ripped away from you and turned into something completely different.

Sarutobi walked up to Naruto's crying form and placed a firm hand on her shoulder, Naruto looked up from her hands and into Sarutobi's eyes "Don't you think for a second you're going to go through this alone Naruto, I'm going to get some girls to teach you everything you need to know, and I'll always be around to help you"

Sarutobi released Naruto's shoulder and took a step back, "I'm sorry Naruto, but I have to go, I have to get those that will help you, I'll be back later on, okay?"

Naruto nodded slowly, but tears still streamed down her cheeks. Once Sarutobi was gone from the room Naruto wrapped her arms around her stomach and rocked forward and back 'Why does all of the bad things always happen to me?'

Sarutobi arrived at his office and immediately buzzed for his secretary. "Hai Hokage-sama?" She replied.

"Please get me Haruno Sakura and Yuuhi Kurenai and have them come to my office, I've got a mission for them, not their teams" He ordered. "Hai Hokage-sama" Was heard from the intercom.

Twenty-five minutes later and Kurenai and Sakura were standing in his office, both completely confused as to why only they were requested. "Thank you both for getting here so quickly" Sarutobi greeted. "I have a special task for the two of you"

Kurenai nodded "What would you have us do Hokage-sama?" she asked.

Sarutobi sighed "We have a new addition to Konoha's Kunoichi. But she needs your help"

Sakura raised a pink eyebrow "Our help with what?"

Sarutobi sighed "With being a girl"

Both Sakura's and Kurenai's eyes widened in surprise and confusion "Huh? What do you mean?" Sakura asked.

Sarutobi sighed again "I didn't expect that to make sense. Follow me, I think you'll understand much better once you meet her, she's in the hospital for the moment"

Kurenai and Sakura bowed and followed Sarutobi to the hospital and to the room the girl was in. They arrived at room two-twenty-three and opened the door. There lying in the hospital bed was Naruto, in his Oroike no jutsu form.

Sakura was already across the room and ready to punch him in the face for using that disgusting jutsu before Sarutobi stopped her fist. Sakura looked down at Naruto from her fist and saw her cowering in fear of her. "Please do no hit Naruto, Sakura" Sarutobi ordered.

Sakura looked from Sarutobi to Naruto again and again before saying "What the hell is going on, why is Naruto here, and more importantly, why is he using that jutsu" her eyes glaring daggers at the perverted boy.

Sarutobi sighed "Naruto is not using any jutsu. He came staggering into Konoha like this yesterday, we've yet to discover what caused it, but we do know Naruto is now one hundred percent female in every shape and way, physically at least...though he has gotten more sensitive."

Both Sakura and Kurenai's jaws dropped. "And you want us to teach him everything about being a girl?" Kurenai asked.

Sarutobi nodded "Yes, He has fifteen years of knowledge to catch up on"

Sakura looked at Naruto and shook her head "No, get someone else to help the baka, he abandoned us on our mission, get one of his friends to do it"

Sakura suddenly regretted saying that as tears formed in the corners of Naruto's eyes, it was then that Sakura noticed that her cheeks were stained with tears, obvious proof that she'd been crying a lot lately. "I...I don't have any friends..." Naruto admitted in a small voice.

Sakura noticed just how...breakable Naruto looked right now, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for him...her, whatever he was. She couldn't imagine what he must be feeling right now, sure she'd henged into a boy before for fun, but she couldn't imagine being stuck as one forever, and now...Naruto was. "Alright, alright. I'll help you out, only because you're completely helpless. But why did you leave us on the mission?"

Naruto sniffled "I didn't leave you guys, I told you to run to Kakashi, and then they all went after me, I tried to outrun them but they took me down, then I just remember waking up by a stream like this, why didn't you guys look for me, or even care that I vanished..."

Sakura didn't miss the hurt tone in Naruto's voice, and it made her feel sad. "K-Kakashi-sensei just decided that you must have ran off, he said that you were worse than trash. Then made us head back to Konoha...I was so scared I didn't think about it." She admitted.

Kurenai just stood and watched, "So...were should we begin then?" She asked Sarutobi.

Sarutobi shrugged uselessly "Do I look like a girl to you? He needs to know everything about being a girl, and I mean everything. You guys are in for a long two weeks. Kurenai, would you mind if Naruto stays at your place for a while as well? I think it would be extremely beneficial for him- I mean her- to have a woman around to ask questions"

Kurenai shrugged "I guess that's alright. I have a spare guest room he -ugh- she, could use. So, this begs the question, why is she in the hospital?"

Sarutobi sighed once again "When he came into Konoha she was extremely malnourished, and underweight. I was actually meaning to ask you that Naruto, why didn't you eat anything on the way back to Konoha?"

Naruto looked up to Sarutobi and sighed sadly "I...I don't know what's safe to eat, I never learned any of that stuff"

Sakura deadpanned at Naruto "You baka, they taught us all of that stuff last year"

Naruto looked down sadly "No one but Iruka ever taught me anything, and he always had to help you guys"

Sakura cocked her head to the side in confusion "What do you mean? Why wouldn't anybody help you?"

Sarutobi sighed, he seemed to be doing it a lot today "Naruto is extremely disliked by most of the village if you never noticed Sakura. I can't tell you how, but Naruto has permission to if he comes to trust you"

Sakura nodded in acceptance, even though she was still confused and Sarutobi continued "Ah yes, as I was saying, she was very malnourished so I brought her here and she's been on a glucose I.V. Since yesterday. She is clear to leave the hospital, she just needs to eat a good amount for a few days, and eat healthily"

Naruto frowned "Please stop calling me a she Jiji"

Sarutobi himself frowned "Naruto, I'm sorry but you are a girl now, and you always will be. It's best that you get used to being referred to as a girl as soon as possible. I suppose I'll leave you girls alone to discuss, when you're ready, she's clear for discharge, you can all leave when you wish, though she will need new clothes." Sarutobi reached for the doorknob and suddenly stopped and turned around "Ah yes, one last thing, this is all an S-rank secret for now, Naruto may tell people what happened if she so wishes, but I don't think you want anyone to know for a while, do you Naruto?" Naruto shook her head, sending her long hair flying.

Once Sarutobi was gone Sakura and Kurenai just looked at Naruto for a few minutes, not sure how to start this conversation at all. After the silence got uncomfortable Sakura fumed "I hate you Naruto, you're a boy and you've got bigger boobs than I do!" This cause Kurenai to burst out laughing, which in turn caused Naruto to crack a smile.

Many hours later Naruto sat in her bed, with the sheet pulled close to her with a terrified expression on, Sakura had just went home, and she and Kurenai were just about to get ready to go to her house. The things Naruto learned from those two scared her, and some things made her sick "I can't believe all of the things you have to go through, guys have it so easy compared to you guys" Naruto told Kurenai as she pulled on her tattered clothes, they'd have to last until tomorrow when they were dragging her sorry ass across the village on a shopping spree.

As they walked through the almost empty streets of Konoha Kurenai turned to Naruto "Is there anything you want to get from your place?"

Naruto shrugged "The only things I really have there are my equipment, I mean, I'm getting new clothes, and that was about all I own, clothes and equipment"

Kurenai nodded 'I feel so bad for him, to have so many things go so badly in your life..'

When they arrived at Kurenai's apartment Kurenai showed Naruto her room, it was a standard guest room, white walls, tan carpeting, a dresser, a lamp, and a closet. "I'll get you a futon set up in just a minute Naruto, do you want some of my clothes to sleep in? I think I have some things that might fit you"

Naruto nodded and bowed deeply "Thank you for doing all of this for me Kurenai-san, I know you didn't have to do any of this"

Kurenai smiled and surprised Naruto by wrapping her arms around her and hugging her tightly "It's alright Naruto, I can't imagine how this must be for you, I'll do everything I can to help you" Kurenai released Naruto from her hug and quickly left the room to get everything for her.

When Kurenai came back she found Naruto with tears once again streaming down her cheeks, and she idly wondered if she was capable of running out, she'd never seen someone cry so much in a day "What's wrong Naruto?" She asked in a soft voice.

Naruto looked up into her red eyes and wiped some tears away "Nothing, it's just...I've never had anyone be so kind to me, thank you Kurenai-san, for everything"

Kurenai smiled warmly and quickly made up a futon for Naruto "Like I said Naruto, I'll do everything I can to help you, here these are some of my old clothes, they still might be a little big on you, but they've got to be better than what you're wearing now"

Naruto nodded and took the clothes from Kurenai "Thank you again Kurenai, and good night"

Kurenai smiled again "Good night Naruto, I'll see you tomorrow" she then quickly slipped out of Naruto's room, clicking the door shut behind her.

Naruto quickly shucked her tattered set of clothes and slipped into the clothes Kurenai had given him, though she did keep her black and orange boxers on, seeing as it was the only underwear she had. 'Kurenai wasn't kidding, these are a bit big, but they're so comfortable' She was wearing an over sized mid thigh length deep red t-shirt and baggy pink pajama bottoms, simple but comfortable. Naruto turned off the lamp on the dresser and slipped into the futon Kurenai so kindly laid out for her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto opened her eyes and looked around before groaning, she was in the sewers of her mind, and she was soaking wet. "Damn Kyuubi, what do you want this time" She said while getting up and walking towards the Kyuubi's chamber.

Her eyes widened when she got to the Kyuubi's chamber to find the giant steel cage open, and the little seal gone. She walked up to and inside the cage only to find no Kyuubi "What the hell is going on here?" she said. Just then she noticed that there was something on the wall inside the cage. She walked up to it and saw that it was a message, apparently burned into the wall by the Kyuubi's chakra.

As you can see, I'm no longer here. Congratulations kit, you screwed up. Either both of us was going to die, or one of us was. You've proved yourself to me, so I sacrificed myself to save you. Don't think you're off the hook though, when I get out of hell, I'm going to come and challenge you to a fight, the next move is yours.

-Kyuubi

Naruto read the message a few dozen times over, not believing what it said, the Kyuubi sacrificed it's self to save him? Was that why he was a girl? He'd have to see the Hokage about it soon.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto woke up the next morning to the sun basking her face in warmth via the window in her room, she yawned and got out of her futon and stretched. She then quickly stepped out of the room and was surprised to find Kurenai in the kitchen already. "Good morning Naruto, did you sleep well?" She asked.

Naruto nodded "Yeah, umm Kurenai, do you mind if I use your shower? I'm not exactly sparkling clean"

Kurenai giggled slightly and nodded "Sure Naruto, go ahead"

Naruto nodded and headed for Kurenai's bathroom.

Ten minutes later Kurenai was in the kitchen cleaning up from her breakfast when she heard Naruto yell, she immediately put down the plate she was washing and stuck her head in the bathroom "Naruto, is everything alright?" she asked, concern present in her voice.

She heard Naruto growl "Jesus christ, how can shaving be this hard!"

Kurenai couldn't help but laugh "Naruto, would you like some help?"

Naruto sighed "Would you?"

Kurenai nodded and slipped inside the bathroom. Her eyes widened substantially at the site of Naruto, who was sitting Stark naked and dripping wet on the edge of the tub, razor in hand. In that split second Kurenai knew Naruto was going to have a tough time, she was going to have guys chasing after him night and day. "Umm, perhaps you'd like to put on a towel Naruto?" Kurenai asked.

Naruto looked down and 'eeped' and snatched the white towel off the sink and wrapped it around her body. "Sorry Kurenai"

Kurenai smiled and shook her head "It's quite alright Naruto, it's not like you have anything that I don't have"

Naruto nodded slowly and Kurenai stepped forward and took the razor out of her hand "Here, let me show you how to do it, then you can try, and I'll tell you if you do anything wrong"

Kurenai grabbed the can of shaving cream and quickly lathered it onto her leg, and proceeded to shave her leg. Once she finished she wiped off the last bits of shaving cream with a wash cloth and handed the razor back to Naruto "Now give it a shot"

Naruto nodded and copied Kurenai as best as he could, but didn't get far before Kurenai stopped her "Not like that, if you do it at an angle you'll cut yourself, use straight motions"

Naruto nodded and did as instructed, and in no time both of her legs were completely shaved. Naruto turned to Kurenai and sighed "I wish you were my sensei Kurenai, Kakashi would have left me to slice myself up, thank you"

Kurenai sighed "Naruto, if you keep thanking me every time I do something for you, I'm going to get annoyed, I already said I'm going to help you with everything. Now, why don't you try doing your armpits by yourself"

Naruto nodded and continued shaving, and managed to get through it without cutting herself once. When she was finished Kurenai smiled "Nice job Naruto. Now, why don't you go get dressed, Sakura's is going to be here soon for us to go shopping"

Naruto instantly paled "Shopping...with Sakura?"

Kurenai chuckled "Yes, we need to get you some new clothes, we can't have you running around in that awful jumpsuit anymore, now hurry up, I put some clothes in your room that you can use for now"

Naruto sighed and shuffled off to his room to get dressed.

Ten minutes later there was a knock at Kurenai's door, she answered it and low and behold, Sakura was standing there "Ahh, Sakura-san, good morning. Naruto's still getting dressed, she'll be out in a couple minutes..."

Two minutes passed and Naruto came out of her room, she was wearing knee length tight black shorts, similar to Sakura's, a mid thigh length crimson skirt and a sleeveless low cut red shirt that hugged her frame quite nicely, demonstrating the size of her assets. Naruto sighed "Don't you own anything that isn't red Kurenai?" she whined.

Kurenai smiled warmly "No, and red looks so good on you...but your hair, my god you need to brush it"

Naruto lifted one eyebrow in question "Brush it, What do you mean?" she asked, generally confused.

Kurenai slapped her forehead "We forgot to tell her about brushing her hair. Sakura, I think we've got some work cut out for us before we go anywhere"

Sakura sighed and already had a hairbrush out, which Naruto looked at her weirdly "Where the hell did you just get that?" he asked.

Sakura smiled "I never go anywhere without a brush of some kind." Kurenai also had a brush materialize in her hand and Naruto's jaw dropped, "What the hell, is this some kind of rule for Kunoichi to carry a brush?"

Sakura and Kurenai smirked as they stalked towards Naruto "It should be. Now Naruto, this is going to hurt a bit, your hair is a mess, so bare with us"

Twenty minutes of Naruto yelping in pain later, and his hair was straight and fixed "God, that was that hardest time I've ever had brushing someone's hair" Kurenai admitted.

Naruto, who's scalp felt like it was on fire, whimpered "Can we go now?"

Kurenai nodded and smiled "Yeah, lets go, we can get you some food while we're out too"

Naruto nodded "So...what are we getting first?"

Kurenai smiled evilly at Sakura, who smiled back "Bra's and panties" Kurenai stated. Naruto's eyes widened "You expect me to wear that stuff!?"

Sakura scrunched up her nose at Naruto "Well you sure as hell aren't going to keep wearing boxers!"

Kurenai and Sakura dragged Naruto through the village and they finally arrived at the store, after a large amount of struggling from Naruto. "Alright, before we do anything, we need to figure out all of your sizes Naruto. Waist line, height, cup size, everything"

Naruto paled "My what size?"

Kurenai sighed "Your cup size Naruto, as in, the size of your breasts. I'm guessing you're a C-cup, but we need to be sure, Sakura would you grab me one of the tape measures please" Sakura nodded and disappeared for a second before reappearing with a cloth tape measure and handing it to Kurenai.

"Now hold still Naruto, and this will only take a second" Kurenai quickly flitted all over Naruto, taking measurements and mentally noting them, by the time she was done Naruto wasn't sure what happened "I feel violated" she admitted, causing Sakura to burst out giggling "I felt the same way the first time Naruto"

Kurenai suddenly grabbed Sakura's wrist and they both disappeared into the store to look for things for Naruto "I have a bad feeling about this" Naruto sighed.

Minutes later both girls reappeared with a large number of sets of bras and panties and they dumped them into Naruto's arms who looked at them confused "What the hell am I supposed to do with all of these?" she said.

Sakura sighed "Try them on of course, see which ones you like most"

Naruto looked at the pile of undergarments in her arms and sighed "But...there's no orange ones"

Sakura groaned "Christ, I'll find you an orange set while you try those on, okay?"

Naruto smiled and nodded and walked into the dressing room and closed the door behind her and Sakura ventured off into the store.

About a minute later Kurenai heard Naruto growl "Stupid ass bra" and sighed. She stepped up to the door and knocked on it lightly "Naruto, are you having any trouble?"

Naruto sighed "I can't put this stupid bra on, and this feels so...wrong...could you help me?" he admitted.

Kurenai slowly turned the doorknob and slipped into the dressing room. Naruto was standing off to one side in a pair of black panties and was struggling to get the clasp on the bra. Kurenai stepped forward and hooked the bra together for her "There you go. You look nice Naruto"

Naruto shivered and folded her arms over her chest "I feel dirty, my mind is screaming how wrong this is, but I know I have no choice"

Kurenai sighed "You'll get used to it before long Naruto, you have a lot of things to adjust to, and I know it's stressful, but Sakura and I and here to help"

Naruto nodded and continued trying on more sets of bras and panties, with Kurenai helping her with the bras.

Naruto eventually chose the sets he liked the most, since he didn't plan on anyone ever seeing him undressed anyway, so she decided on two sets of matching black panties and bras, three sets of orange ones that were similar in design, and two sets of red ones that Kurenai wouldn't let her not get, insisting that red looked great on her.

Kurenai and Sakura went on to drag Naruto all around the shops, getting him more sets of clothes than he ever thought he'd wear, he was quite glad that Sarutobi was paying for this for him. Later on they went out to a restaurant for dinner and Naruto noticed that no one in the village knew who he was, or at least, not yet. It felt good to not be shunned by every person sees you in the streets.

The next day Naruto went to Sarutobi's office once again, not that Sarutobi expected him to come "Naruto, how are you?" He asked.

Naruto shrugged, the clothes they bought still felt weird to wear, but they were right, he had to become a girl, he had no choice and there was no way around it. She was wearing mid calf length black pants, a tight red sleeveless shirt, and an open sleeveless black jacket, the girls refused to let him buy any orange outerwear, they said this was the perfect chance for a 'new beginning'. "Well, I wanted to talk to you about something important. You said something about a seal specialist coming, right?"

Sarutobi nodded "Yes, he should be here in just a few weeks, why do you ask?"

Naruto sighed "Well...I'm not sure if he's needed any more. When I went to sleep the other night, I ended up in my mind again, and when I got to where the Kyuubi was sealed, the seal on the gates was gone, and the gates were open and the Kyuubi was gone...there was a message though, burned into the wall by it's chakra."

Sarutobi's eyes widened as Naruto described everything "So? What did it say?!" he asked, attempting to rein in his suprise

Naruto exhaled deeply, "It sad that either one of us, or both of us was going to die, and so it sacrificed it's self to save me, because I earned it's respect. Then it said once it gets out of hell, it wants to fight me..."

Sarutobi stayed silent for a minute before sighing "It would seem that the Kyuubi is gone... We'll still have the seal master check you out to be sure, but, I suppose this is good news. How are things going for you Naruto? It would seem you've gotten some clothing"

Naruto nodded "Yeah, Kurenai is being really nice to me, I wish more people were like her"

Sarutobi smiled "That's great Naruto. It would seem you're making great progress. I informed Kakashi to train you and Sakura more heavily, I'll give you two more days to get used to things before going back to training, does that sound good?"

Naruto nodded "Yeah, I guess that sounds good, I mean...I feel pretty much fine, though I still don't know what's going on with my chakra"

Sarutobi raised an eyebrow "What's going on with your chakra?"

Naruto shrugged "I don't know, but I can't use it at all, and I can't even feel it"

Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe and sighed "Hmm, it may be a side effect of your body changing, I'm sure it will straighten out once you get back to training again"

Naruto nodded and left Sarutobi's office, Sakura and Kurenai still had a large amount of things to teach him in the next two days, and he very much doubted he was going to like it much.

Those two days passed by both not quickly enough, and too quickly for Naruto. He didn't exactly enjoy learning how to live as a female, but he greatly enjoyed the time he spent with Kurenai and Sakura, and in the days they'd been together as fellow girls the three of them grew closer.

Naruto and Sakura met up and headed towards training ground seven to meet up with Kakashi and Sasuke, Kakashi and Sasuke had been informed that Naruto was back in Konoha, but not of his...condition, and Sakura hadn't met with them since getting the mission to help Naruto.

They arrived at the training ground and Kakashi was training Sasuke, and Kakashi didn't even bother to turn towards them when they arrived, he just called out "Sakura, good morning" He didn't even greet Naruto, despite sensing his presence. Sakura sighed "Good morning Kakashi-sensei. Naruto and I are here to start training again"

Kakashi 'hmmed' before rummaging through a pocket in his vest and taking out two scrolls and tossed them over his shoulder to Sakura "I wrote these out for you to train with, me and Sasuke are busy so we'll see you later" and he grabbed Sasuke's shoulder and the two disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

Naruto stood there, mouth hanging open in shock before quietly saying "He didn't even turn to look at me...did he even realize that I'm different?"

Sakura sighed and handed Naruto the orange trimmed scroll "Don't think about it Naruto, he's been an asshole lately, at least we've got something to train with"

Naruto nodded slowly and opened her scroll and a slip of paper fell out. She bent down and picked up and read it "Chuunin exam entrance form, huh?" She looked at the scroll and read the top part

The Chuunin exams take place next Tuesday, you've got eight days to train until then, fill out the form included and bring it to room three-hundred and one in the Academy before eleven in the morning

-Kakashi

Naruto continued to read the rest of her 'training' and her eyes narrowed in anger "This is what he calls training for the Chuunin Exams? An explanation of the tree climbing exercise and some meditation tips!?" She turned to Sakura "Please tell me yours is better and that he's just being a dick to me"

Sakura sighed and showed Naruto her scroll, which was the exact same as his. Naruto's face contorted in rage and she yelled out "How can he do this to us!? How are we supposed to train for the Chuunin exams?"

Sakura sighed again and put her hand on Naruto's shoulder "Well, we'll just have to come up with our own way to train then if Kakashi's going to be that way, we can take the training the Academy gave us and step it up a notch, increase the workout, you know?"

Naruto sighed and hung her head "But, what about my chakra, I still don't know why I can't use or feel it"

Sakura smiled and pulled Naruto into a hug, which surprised him, it seemed that now that she was a girl Sakura didn't mind hugging him, not that she would complain. "Don't worry about it, we'll figure out something, or we'll just have to watch each other's backs and beat the crap out of people without using any chakra in the exams, I know you can do it either way Naruto"

The eight days to the exam passed by far to quickly for both Naruto and Sakura, they both did as planned and upped the training regimen from the Academy and they worked at it together for a good portion of the day everyday before going to get lunch together, but by the time that the eight days passed, neither felt like they improved much, and Naruto was still without her chakra. There was one positive aspect though, in that their friendship was stronger than ever and only getting stronger.
