Hi, After a very long time- I have finally decided to update this story

Hi, After a very long time- I have finally decided to update this story. Please be aware that it is somewhat AU-- I started this story way before I ever read about the Atasuki or Sasuke running off to Orchimaru, so many of those events aren't even mentioned. There is no beta- so you will find some grammatical errors. Quite frankly, I am too lazy to proofread that closely.

This story involves an original character. The girl is just a normal person, with a real job that is a family tradition and requires training and skill to pursue. But is not magic or unusual really, nor is she a ninja, although she does have some skill with knives—well, she makes them she should know at least the basics of using them or how would she know if her product would function correctly? I think she is going to be quite interesting to write about though, as she has a personality that matches the words on her shirt "Sassy!" And it is highly likely that I misspelled names in this. Sorry, it's getting late and I didn't want to look them up right now.

The air of the market was buzzing with excitement. It was one of the first bright days of spring and most of the village was out to enjoy the fine weather. Anito had dressed in her favorite pair of super short black shorts and a dark blue tank shirt that showed off her stomach piercing to perfection. The shirt had the word "sassy" written across the front of it. She hummed happily to herself as she walked out the front door of her brother's new shop. She loved spring; it was her favorite time of the year, her blue eyes shined and her blond hair shined in the sun. She had pulled it up into two ponytails today. It was probably her favorite way to wear it.

She wanted to get out and explore this new village that she had accompanied her brother too. Earlier that month her family had received a request from the Hokage of this town, requesting a blade smith from her family to come and set up a business their as the last one they had died of old age. Her family was a very well known name for making blades. It was also a very large family, proud of its craft. Her older brother had finally been deemed to be a master by the family elders and wanted to set out on his own to form his own business, so he had come here in answer to the request. Anito had tagged along to assist him and to further improve her own skills, as her brother would need a journeyman level assistant at the very least.

Anito pulled her wallet out of her pocket to make sure she still had her money. There were a few things that she wanted to buy to furnish her new room, so she set off looking for a stall that sold fabrics. She found one fairly easily and stood looking at the myriad colors when someone pulled on her wrist hard and held it in an uncompromising grip.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Ebisu had spotted the blue eyed blond walking casually through the market and grew annoyed at the way that the impersonator easily moved among the stalls. 'Naruto, I don't know what prank you are pulling here, put I won't allow it.' He muttered to himself. He hurried to the blond girl carefully trying to control his body's need to suddenly break out into a cold sweat and start bleeding from his nose. This henge form of Naruto's was way to appealing. It was even cuter than before, with that little ring in the navel and small dragon tattoo surrounding it. Thoughts of dipping his tongue into the little crevice as the girl moaned under his mouth flitted through his mind briefly, disturbing his peace of mind to no end with its implications. He grabbed the figures wrist in a punishing grip not wanting Naruto to slither away from him as he had proved on many occasions to be quite capable of. "Come on, Naruto, I am taking you to the Hokage. There is no getting out of it this time. You little troublemaker." The person he was pulling on tugged back in surprise at the rough treatment.

"Oh, Hey what are you doing? That hurts." The girl yelled.

Ebisu ignored the cries and pulled the struggling girl after him to the Hokage's office. Many of the villagers looked on intensely puzzled by the scene of one of the elite Jounin, pulling a struggling girl by her wrist. "Hokage Sama! " Ebisu burst into the Hokage's office, in a self-righteous rage. "He was pulling pranks again!"

"Whom are you talking about?" Tsuande asked, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

"Naruto that damn boy was trying to pull some kind of prank down in the market." He pulled the girl out from behind him and shoved her towards the Hokage.

"Umm Ebisu, .." The Hokage started.

"Ne, Ne Sakura-chan, do you want to go get some ramen?" A question was heard shouted through the open door of the office as Kakashi stepped in followed by his team, including Naruto.

Ebisu's jaw about hit the floor as he looked from the girl to Naruto and back again. She managed to pull her aching wrist out of his grasp in his moment of surprise. "You jerk!" She yelled and kicked him as hard as she could in the shin.

The people familiar with Naruto's sexy no jutsu form were amazed at the close resemblance between the girl and Naruto.

"Yes, as I was about to ay, Ebisu, that's not Naruto." Tsuande stepped in.

"Hi, my name is Anito." The blond turned and bowed to the Hokage. I just moved here with my brother to open a weapons shop. We are blade smiths."

"Ah, yes, I believe that I have most of your paperwork and we have just finished your citizenship paperwork a little while ago. You can pick that up on the third window from the right down the hall."

"Thank you Hokage Sama." Anito bowed again.

Tsuande did not fail to notice the darkening bruise around the girl's wrist. She frowned in displeasure at the rough treatment the innocent girl had received at the hands of one of her shinobi. "Ebisu, I think you owe this girl an apology and because you have bruised her wrist by dragging her all the way here, I think that you also should be punished. A shinobi should not be so quick to make assumptions. You are going to be this young lady's personal servant for the rest of the week. You will help her in anyway that she thinks she can use your assistance, and you are to escort her around the village and introduce her to people. I truly expect better of such an elite ninja such as yourself." Tsuande shamed him in front of everyone, making her displeasure at his conduct quite obvious.

"Ha ha ha! " Naruto laughed loudly. "Closet pervert got punished!"

"This is all your fault Naruto!" Ebisu yelled at him and stalked out the door. "I'll go fetch her paperwork." He slammed the door behind him.

"I have wanted to take that boy down a peg or two for some time now. Did you see the expression on his face." The Hokage laughed. "Hey, Naruto, why don't you introduce your team and then show Anito why Ebisu thought she was you." The woman suggested.

"Sure. This is Sakura and Sasuke and our teacher Kakashi," he waved at each in turn as they came to greet her. "And this," Naruto made a few hand seals, "Is my sexy no jutso!" Naruto changed into the form of a cute blond that was quite well built and looked so much like Anito that they could be twins.

"Oh my!" Was all she could manage at the site of the naked mirror image of herself standing in front of her. "I know that people say that everyone has a look alike in this world, but this is too much." She murmured to herself in shock.
