Ninja Swap! Chapter 1 Reminisce, a naruto fanfic

Ninja Swap!

Disclaimer: I may be an awesome goddess but I did not create the ever so awesome anime Naruto. I wish I did (so I could rightfully say that I, AiOrikasa, OWN Gaara) but I do not. A low life like me could not have created something so amazing. I give props to Masashi Kishimoto.

Warning: This story contains yaoi and bisexuality. If you are a homophobe (like me) don't read it. I just so happen to like GaaNej get over it. If you don't like GaaNej then why do you even bother. You should not even be on the Internet right now! Go study like a good little professor!

Chapter 1- Reminisce

Wooh! Gaara sighed. The poor red head was undergoing so much stress. His duty as the Kazekage forced responsibility on him. He wanted to show to his family, the villagers of Suna, that he was cut for the job. The Subaku could not possibly bring him down from reaching his goals. He wanted to be accepted by everyone, even if it cost his life.

Unfortunately, he began to believe that dream was about to crash down before him, when the Akatsuki member, Deidara, attacked his village. This very feminine character and his colleagues were after him and the Subaku. Knowing the Subaku's monstrous strength, Gaara fought hard to protect himself and his village. Although his sand jutsus were strong, they could not compare to Deidara's "art". "Art is a bang," he would say. And yes, it did bang, banged abruptly right in front of his face.

Deidara and his puppeteer partner, Sasori, took him to the Akatsuki layer and extracted the soul of the Subaku. Gaara thought it was the end of him. His shallow life flashed right in front of his eyes as the evil men ripped him apart. He saw him self as a lonely child, hugging his knees to his chest. Everyone was neglecting his presence, his existence. Without friendship and loyalty he was more ripped apart than the ritual in the Akatsuki layer. Without love he was torn from the inside out, torn enough to drive him mad.

But someone saved him from his pool of madness. Naruto Uzumaki and his cheerful companions lent a helping hand to him. Naruto read Gaara like an open book. Naruto was the one that made Gaara open his eyes. Without his guidance he would not have been a successful ruler. Naruto and his friends also put effort to saving his life, while his village was prepared to leave him behind.

Chiyo, Sasori's grandmother, and the elder of the Suna village, revived Gaara back to life. As Gaara's eyes fluttered back to life, friends, people that cared for him, awakened him. Naruto helped him up and Gaara looked over Naruto's broad shoulders. He saw the handsome Neji Hyuuga. He was shocked to see his presence, heck he was bewildered by his beauty every time he saw him. Is this a dream, he thought? He got obtained his dream of people caring for him, but he also got to see his only love, Neji Hyuuga. He then noticed Neji's teammate, Tenten, hug onto his arm, relieved that Gaara was alive. A rush of jealousy ran through the red head's veins. Gaara quickly passed his rage of jealousy and focused on Chiyo and her dead body. Gaara ordered for everyone to say a silent prayer to Chiyo. He was very grateful of her for making his dream become a reality.

That was a few months ago… Now Gaara was traveling to Konoha, the home of the most unpredictable ninja. He stood on his mound of sand levitating in air. He jumped off and entered into Konohakagure. He was directed into the office of the Hokage, Tsunade. Tsunade contacted him from his office in Suna. When he asked her what the reason was for his visit, she would answer until he arrived.

He scanned the village that he entered, he remembers the village well from the Chunnin exams 2 years ago. Where he first took sight of Neji Hyuuga… Speaking of the devil…

"Neji you never cease to surprise me on the training grounds," Tenten said sweetly. She was standing extremely close to the Hyuuga and smiled. The flirt disgusted Gaara.

Neji sighed," You need to try harder. I do not accomplish every thing when all you do is summon weapons." (A/N: Sorry NejTen fans. I like this pairing too. But I have to bash it in this story.)

Tenten was hurt by his painful remark, Lee took notice to her disappointment. "I shall defeat Neji, someday for you Tenten-san!"

"Pft, as if," Neji said with confidence. Gaara double taked as he saw the Hyuuga's presence. He completely forgot that Neji lived in Konoha. He stopped in his tracks in the middle of the crowded street. Neji felt Gaara's staring eyes scanning him up and down. He turned and faced Gaara with a quizzical look. What is he doing here, he wondered? Gaara's guide and Neji's team called for them and they broke their hard stare at each other.

Gaara stepped foot into Tsunade's office. There she was sitting patiently in her seat. She greeted Gaara and offered him a seat. Gaara accepted the offer and took a seat next to her. He turned his attention to her. She spoke but he was not hearing a single word coming out of her mouth. All he could pay attention to her was her large jugs. She really needs to close up her shirt, Gaara thought, Her boobs are just so friggin' big! Gaara blushed at his dirty thought. (A/N: Yes Gaara is bisexual. XD still love him though. 3) She noticed him staring at her chest.

Tsunade roared," Listen to me, Gaara, I know that I got big breasts, but please, take heed to what I am saying!" Tsunade did not even know that her, you-know-whats-its, were hanging out of door. She held her shirt together covering the large opening between her breasts. She was ready to smack Gaara for being a "perv" but she thought twice. Reading from files from the Chunnin exams, Gaara's sand defense is automatic every time he feels a sense of danger. Damn sand, she thought, without it you would have been flying all the way to the Mist. Tsunade cooled herself down and Gaara paid more attention to her, and not her breasts. She laughed," Perverted little boy as the Kazekage." Gaara was embarrassed.

"Anyways, I have called for you to visit me to talk about you and the Akatsuki," she adjusted herself comfortably in her fluffy seat," They have taken your cursed demon correct?"

Gaara nodded," I am sure they did. I was revived back to life by Chiyo-sama."

"The Atkatsuki is still at large. I worry for you and your village's safety. I have been reported that Sakura and Chiyo defeated the partner of the one that attacked you."

Gaara crossed his arms and leaned on the chair.

"The group may think of seeking revenge of their fellow member's death. For your safety I have made the decision of switching our roles as Kazekage and Hokage."

Gaara got up from his seat and said angrily," Are you saying I can't take of my home myself?"

Tsunade sighed," No I am not. I need a rest. This is the perfect time for my mini-vacation."

"I never said this before in my life, but, Tsunade this is retarded," Gaara said impassively. Then he thought about what he said. Many people in Konoha may not agree with Tsunade's swap idea, but others may welcome him. He has friends in Konoha now, but most importantly he could have a chance of scoring the silver-eyed genius.

Gaara quickly changed his mind," On second thought, I think I may need a 'vacation' from my village myself."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow," You sure? I mean, you were about to say I was mad for even thinking of such an idea."

Think Neji, think Neji, think Neji. Think of how his eyes glitter in the sunlight. Think of his long, soft, fluffy hair. Think of his built body. Think Neji's rosy lips…"I am positive."

Tsunade smiled," Great I will approach the village about it shortly." Tsunade got up from he cushion chair. She ran outside onto the balcony, which over looked the village, "You'll be starting today."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clang! The loud strike of kunai to kunai could be heard miles away. TenTen and Neji were training at the training grounds; Lee was pounding the snot out of a nearby tree. "Someday I will be the victor in my fight with Neji!" Lee said.

Gai-sensei then ran quickly and announced," Good job my students! I would make you all run 500 laps but Tsunade has ordered for all ninja and other citizens from Konoha to report to her, for she has an announcement to make." He struck a very awkward pose.

They stopped in their tracks. Lee looked very disappointed," But Gai-sensei, I still have not reached my goal by becoming stronger!" he whined.

Hmmm… It must be very important if everyone has to go, Neji thought. When his teammates were preparing to go to the training grounds he spotted Gaara in the village. Neji was not so sure if Gaara had evolved since the Chunnin exams. He never talked to the red head, but he heard nasty rumors on the guy, rumors that made Neji suspicious. Is he till the hostile guy that he was years before, Neji thought?

Neji dropped his kunai. Her news must be about him, he thought. He ran as quickly as he can," Come on guys hurry!" His and teammates and sensei followed Neji.

There was an enormous crowd that faced Tsunade. Neji and his team forced themselves through the large amounts of citizens and ninja.

"Hey stop pushing, you son of a bitch!"

"Ow, no pushing!"

"Watch where you are going!"

After Neji heard the many complaints around him he quit pushing and took advantage of his Buuyakugan. Hinata and her team walked right by and Hinata shyly greeted him.

"Urrr… Good… afternoon… Neji… sama." Not only can Neji see chakra points of his enemy he can even see through 'stuff' on accident. He saw right through Hinata's shirt. Ugh, Neji thought, is it right to say that your cousin has big boobs? Neji clasped his eyes shut tightly.

"You know what guys, I am completely scarred for life, so let's just move up some more," he said embarrassed. Neji moved up and obtained a clear view of Tsunade. Next to her was none other than Gaara. This will be interesting, Neji thought.

Tsunade cleared her throat loudly. The whole village hushed in response. She announced," Today will be history in Konoha. As well as Suna."

Oh this is nothing, Neji thought, probably a stupid alliance or something.

"Konoha and Suna are going through extreme measures to capture the infamous group Akatsuki." People in the crowd gossiped and whispered to the mentioning of Akatsuki.

"Our role as Hokage and Kazekage is to ensure peace and safety to our village. We have come to an agreement that to really ensure both villages' safety we must switch roles." Everyone started to gossip now. The Kazekage as Hokage?

"I have checked with the elders of the village and they believe that our decision is acceptable. Until we find that the Atkatsuki is no longer a threat we will swap back to our homes. Please accept Subaku no Gaara as your temporary Hokage." There was a definite uproar in the crowd now. Why such short notice?

The crowd dispersed and Neji and his team were all that was left in the streets. "Neji! Come on! We are gonna run our 500 laps now!" Lee yelled. Neji could not hear his hollering he was too busy on contemplating about the situation that happened before his eyes. Not even his Buuyakugan could see the reason for the major ninja swap. Could there swap really benefit our safety, Neji thought?

I am not so sure if Subaku no Gaara changed, Neji thought. He recollected Gaara in the Chunnin exams clearly. Neji could not stop noticing the red head. Neji and Gaara were considered to be the most dangerous Genins in the exam. Even Neji, the elite, was concerned about Gaara's monstrous strength. Neji was not there to witness his strength but by descriptions about him he could visualize it clearly. Naruto Uzumaki defeated Neji and Gaara. His fight with Naruto changed Neji's attitude about everyone around him, but did Gaara change? Kazekage or not, he may still be a threat, Neji thought, better safe than sorry.

"Come on Neji!" Tenten grabbed hold of Neji's arm. Neji took one last look at Gaara. Neji said underneath his breath," I'll be watching you Gaara."
