DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto.

For those wondering, Tomoko Yoshida is an original character that I created.


Chapter 1: Sasuke's a what?

"I cannot believe that Kakashi-sensei is still not here. I mean, is he going to give us that test or not?" Naruto whined. To say he was merely anxious was a bit of an understatement. After all, he just became a Genin, and now he has to take yet another test. It didn't help matters much that their sensei seemed to be a no show. "Hey, Sakura-chan, when we are through here, want to go for ramen?"

"Once again, I am not interested in having ramen with you," his pink haired teammate replied. "What is it with you and ramen anyway? Besides, I'd rather share a meal with Sasuke-kun." She turned to the other member of their team.

A tick formed on Sasuke's head at Sakura's voice. Why was it that she wouldn't just leave him alone already? "Can't you both keep it down?" he spoke. "You're both starting to give me a headache."

Just then, Kakashi finally showed up, three hours late. His three pupils glared daggers at him. Of course, that was nothing that a ninja of his level could not handle. He was a Jonin after all.

It was about then that Naruto noticed that the copy ninja, AKA Kakashi, did not show up alone. At his side was a girl, about their age. "Who's the girl?" he asked.

"Well you see," the Jonin started, "I had to stop to save a cat... but it was black... so I had to keep it from crossing my path. It turned out to be a ninja cat, so that wasn't easy." He then abruptly stopped his little speech, realizing that he was answering a question that had not been asked. He spent so much time working on that excuse too – a pity it would go to waste. "Ah, yes," Kakashi restarted, motioning to the girl beside him. "I'm sure you are all wondering why I brought this girl here. She will be taking part in this exam as a member of Team 7."

"Just what I need, another teammate to hold me back," Sasuke sarcastically thought to himself. Nonchalantly, the raven haired boy looked over the newest member of Team 7. Actually, she wasn't bad looking at all. In truth, she was quite beautiful with light skin, platinum blond hair, and emerald green eyes. She wore her hair in a fringed style with her straight, silky locks reaching a tad below her jaw. She wasn't freakishly tall, but was somewhat taller then him, Sakura, and Naruto. Furthermore, she was rather buxom for her age.

There was a strange feeling, though, that Sasuke just couldn't shake. It was almost like he had seen her before. No, not one of those cliché 'saw her in a dream' things. It was more along the lines of having met her before, but the details were proving elusive. He took a step towards her, centering his gaze on her face, trying to place her. She really was quite beautiful, but who was she? Then, a look of recognition crossed his face. "I am not working with her!" he blurted out.

"Is that any way to talk to your best buddy?" the girl spoke angrily. Glaring at Sasuke, she stepped towards him. They were now mere inches apart.

"Best buddy? You're not even a read friend!" Sasuke all but erupted at the girl. "A friend wouldn't have abandoned me! I want nothing to do with you!" He turned away from the platinum blond.

"Abandoned you!" the girl screamed, her anger quite obviously escalating. "Do you think I wanted to go to Wave?"

Sasuke didn't even bother to turn back to her. He merely responded, "Why don't you go fangirl with Sakura or something and leave me alone?" Unbeknownst to him, that little comment of his had pushed the platinum blond over the edge.

"Fangirl!", she screeched, deciding that she would try 'that' jutsu on him. Instantly, her hands began flying through various signs in preparation. Of course, Sasuke didn't know about the signs since he still had his back to her. That jerk hadn't even bothered to look at her when he told her to 'go fangirl'. She'd show him, though. With that thought, the girl lunged forward, planting her palms squarely on Sasuke's back as she unleashed the jutsu.

Sasuke staggered forward from the force of the strike. It wasn't all that hard of a blow, but – considering he was not expecting it – it had almost knocked him over. Almost instantly, he had pivoted around, kunai in hand. If she wanted a fight, he most certainly wasn't going to just stand there. At least that was what he was thinking before the world began to spin around him. His kunai dropped from his grip, the thud of its landing reaching his ears in what seemed to be a delayed reaction. What the heck was going on? Why we his sense of balance suddenly shot? At least he hadn't fallen himself, but the mere act of standing was taking far more concentration than it should have been.

Abruptly, his sense of balance returned. Well, maybe it hadn't returned completely. For some reason, it still felt somewhat off, but at least the world no longer appeared to literally be spinning around him. Why, though, did his chest hurt so much? True, the navy blue shirt he had worn today had been a little on the tight side due to shrinking from repeated washings, but it wasn't that tight was it? The sound of tearing fabric filled the air, and Sasuke was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

It was then that he noticed the expressions of his teammates, expressions that gave him a very bad feeling. Sakura looked like her jaw was about to hit the ground. Naruto was red faced and nervously averting his gaze. Kakashi merely looked surprised. As for the platinum blond, she had a 'what the heck did I just do' kind of expression currently.

With a feeling of intense dread, Sasuke looked down, quite afraid of what he was going to find at this point. He could quite clearly see that his shirt had been ripped open in the chest area. The scary part was why it had ripped open. He was now a she and her chest, which was simply too large for the shirt to contain, was now exposed for all of Team 7 to see. Why couldn't she have worn a looser shirt today? "Kya!" Sasuke screamed in a voice that was clearly more feminine than usual, awkwardly trying to cover her chest with her arms. The next moment, she passed out.

"Well, that was shocking," Kakashi deadpanned before turning his attention to his still conscious students. Casually, he gestured to the girl that has just turned Sasuke from male to female. "This is Tomoko Yoshida. Clearly Sasuke already knows her, so I trust he – I mean she – already knows her name. Tomoko, is Sasuke's change permanent."

The platinum blond nervously fidgeted with her hair before responding, "I'm not sure Kakashi-sensei. I learned that jutsu from sneaking a peak at the forbidden scroll while waiting for you at the Hokage's office. The Hokage wasn't too happy when he caught me reading it, so I wasn't able to read too much about it."

"I see," Kakashi said, realizing that a meeting with the Hokage was most definitely in order. "In other news, you all pass. Sasuke's not in any state for an examination currently, and I really don't want to reschedule. Sakura, wake up Sasuke and help her get a different outfit. Her current shirt isn't going to do for obvious reasons. Naruto, Tomoko, you are both coming with me to the Hokage's office. Sakura, you and Sasuke meet us at the Hokage's office once Sasuke is decent."
