'Naruto/Hinata in Hinata/Naruto's bodies thoughts'
Jutsu
"Summon speech"
'Summon thought'
"I see." Mused the Hokage as the switched teens tried to explain. "Outside of my office and when you two are alone, I think that Naruto should go as Hinata and likewise for Hinata."
"Hai."
"Now, Naruto, you said that you have a copy of the jutsu in question correct?"
"Hai. It's in my left pocket." Naruto tried to reach for it, but then remembered that he was Hinata. Hinata reached into her pocket and pulled out the scroll in question.
"Ah thank you, now let me see it."
Hinata handed the scroll to the Hokage, who briefly perused it, and had to hide a perverted grin, for he knew the cure, but chose not to reveal it…yet.
"I see…well this jutsu unfortunately is permanent."
"NANI?"
"Hmm, but I believe there is a way to help you both, but I can't think of it right now. However, due to your respective predicaments, Hinata has no knowledge of neither Juken nor how to activate the Byakugon, and Hinata, Naruto has no knowledge of the beast sealed within him. Care to enlighten her?"
"Fine, Hokage-sama. Hinata, do you know the story of Kyubi no Yoko?"
"Yes I do. The Yondaime Hokage, at the cost of his life, defeated the beast. But what does that have to do with me?"
"Well you're partially correct. However Yondaime couldn't slay the beast. He had to seal it within a newborn. Yondaime's plan was that the newborn would be seen and treated like a hero, but the villagers look at him like he is demon reincarnate, the Kyubi no Yoko in human form. That baby is-"
"Don't say anymore, it's you isn't it?"
"Correct, do you hate me?"
"Well…"
"Do you hate me just like everybody else, with the exception of Hokage-sama and Iruka-sensei?"
"That's not true. I've liked you for ages now, ever since we first met a long time ago. Learning of the burden you and I guess now I carry has changed my feelings toward you, but for the better."
"I don't see how it changed your opinion of me for the better…"
"BBut it has, but I am too shy to admit it. I'll tell you when I am ready."
"I advice you that you tell Naruto, I mean Hinata, now, because I believe that the only way to reverse this is to…marry each other."
"NANI?"
'Well here goes nothing…'
"NARUTO-KUN, I LOVE YOU!"
Naruto wasn't conscious to hear it, for Hinata fainted upon hearing that she had to get married. Hinata, who is really Naruto, stomped his foot.
"DAMN IT!"
The Hokage once again, had to hide a belly laugh. He barely succeeded, but now had a grin on his face.
"I'll tell your Jonin-sensei that you two should never be far apart. After all, Naruto is very dense. He won't ever notice your feelings, because he has never been loved before."
'How sad.' Hinata made up her mind that Naruto would be loved openly by herself, and vowed that, before the month was over, she will admit her feelings for him.
After Hinata regained consciousness, both Naruto and Hinata made their way over to the academy to wait. They had to wait a while, while one chain smoking Jonin sensei picked up his team, consiting of Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji It has been what seemed like over three hours, when really, they had only been waiting for about fifteen minutes, before a red eyed Jonin dragged in another Jonin by his right ear, with a mask over his face, silver hair that defied gravity, and a headband covering his left eye.
"You're teams 7 and 8?" With a nod, the red eyed woman continued. "My name is Yuhi Kurenai. I am team 8's Jonin insrructer. And he is Hatake Kakashi, team 7's Jonin instructer. Under orders from out Hokage, we will work together on future missions for an undetermined amount of time."
"She's right, so meet us both on the rooftop for introductions." Lazily drawled Kakashi, before both Jonin disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Let's go, Naruto."
"Hai." Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand, and together, they climbed the staircawse, leaving a confused Sakura.
"Huh?"
"Finally, the dobe is acknowledging Hinata's feelings." Said Sasuke, as he brushed past Sakura.
'Does this mean…that Naruto will not pesture me for a date anymore?'
"Of course. Naruto-baka has finally stop bothering us! Shannaro!"
Feeling elated, Sakura followed her Sasuke-kun up the staircases. Shino pushed up and adjusted his glasses.
"Hinata is acting kind of weird, don't you think Kiba?"
"Gah don't do that!"
"Talk? Very well."
"But you're right. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that they have switched bodies." Oh how right he was. Shino acknowledged him with a nod, as he finally started up the staircase, followed by Kiba.
"Took you six long enough. Now, let's start with introductions to get to know your teammates better. Why don't you go first?" Kakashi asked, pointing at Sakura.
"Uh, introduce what?"
"The usual, name, likes, dislike, hobbies, dreams, that stuff."
"Can you go first sensei?"
"Very well then, my name is Hatake Kakashi, but you already know that. My likes and dislikes are none of your business. As for my dream…" Here Kakashi placed his right hand under his cheek, contemplating something. "Well I have a lot of hobbies." This earned a sweat drop from everyone except Sasuke, who scoffed, Shino, who adjusted his glasses, and Kurenai, who mumbled something inaudible. "Why don't you go next?"
"Fine, sincee I am the Jonin sensei for team 8…my name, as you all should know, is Yuhi Kurenai. I am a Genjutsu specialist I like to hang out with my friends and hang out with a certain love interest…"
"Oh is it Asuma?"
Kurenai blushes, but doesn't dignify that question with an answer.
"I don't like to eat sweets very often…the occasional sweet is enough. My hobbies are my own personal business! And my dream is to make you all successful shinobi. Why don't you go next?" Kurenai asked, pointing at Shino.
"My name is Aburame Shino…"
Everyone waited for Shino to continue, but he was obviously not in a talking mood.
"I think that's my fault…can I go next?"
"Sure."
"Alright, my name is Inuzuka Kiba, and this is my partner-in-crime Akamaru." bark) "I like Hinata." (eep) "I would dislike Naruto, but he has done nothing that deserves it…although he does pull funny pranks! My hobbies are training with Akamaru and my clan, and my dream is to be one of the best clan leaders, with Akamaru on my side!"
Hinata decided that she would go next.
'I hope that Naruto-kun doesn't botch my introduction!' Thought Hinata in Naruto's body.
'Hinata, is that you?' Likewise, thought Naruto in Hinata's body.
(gasp) 'We can communicate through our minds. OK, repeat what I say."
"OK.'
"My name is Hyuga Hinata. I like people who acknowledge me, one day I hope that a certain blond boy will notice me…" 'What the? Hinata, I can read your mind, so we can't have anymore secrets between us…besides, I've already acknowledged you as my life partner, but it's too soon to be a couple.' 'Epp! OK, I'll remember that now.'
"I dislike my clan politics and the dreaded caged bird seal. My dream for the future is to be a strong clan leader who will forever be remembered as the one who got rid of the caged bird seal. My hobbies are pressing flowers."
"Very well, all of team 8 has introduced themselves…now it's team 7's turn. Why don't you go first?" Kakashi asked, jabbing a finger at Sakura.
"My name is Haruno Sakura. I like…" (glances at Sasuke) "Hobbies are…" (glances at Sasuke again) "My dream is to…" (glances at Sasuke one more time and squeals)
'Sigh, a fangirl…' "And what do you dislike?" Kakashi asked.
"Naruto!"
Suprisingly, neither Naruto nor Hinata showed any reaction to this.
"OK, you next, blondie."
Adjusting his headband, Naruto began, and following Naruto's thoughts. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I like cup ramen! I dislike the three minutes it takes after you pour in the hot water. And my dream is…to become stronger then all Shinobi in this village and be a Hokage greater then all of the previous and future Hokage's, including the Yondaime! Hobbies are comparing cup ramen and training."
Sasuke remained brooding, but when Kakashi signaled for him to go, he let out a sigh.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't see why I have to tell you my likes or dislikes, since there are few likes and countless dislikes. Dreams are for losers, but I do have an ambition…a life long goal…to restore my clan…and to kill a certain man."
'Dude, I hope he doesn't mean me.' Thought Naruto in Hinata's body.
'But Naruto-kun…Sasuke-san has no reason to kill you.'
'I see, than I have nothing to worry about! Arigatou Hinata-chan.'
"You're welcome.'
'Great, I have an avenger, a fangirl, and a ramen obsessed Shinobi…could this get any worse?'
"Great, now that introductions are done…now I can tell you."
"Tell us what?"
"Of the twenty-seven graduates, only nine will become Genin, the rest will be sent back to the academy. The test that we are giving you has a 66.6 percent rate of failure."
"What is this test?"
"We can't tell you…just meet at training grounds 7 tomorrow at nine, and don't eat breakfast."
With that, Kakashi and Kurenai disappeared. Everyone went their separate ways home. Hinata told Naruto where his apartment was, and Hinata promised to tell him mentally where her compound i8s, and what not to do and do there. Of course, when Naaruto discovered how Hinata was treated, he started pulling pranks. The culprit was never found.
This story will be updated whenever I can, usually Friday, although since the AP exams are coming up, I win't be able to update very often. This story is slightly AU and will follow the events of Naruto up to the Chunin Exams. R and R. Laterz
