In the Yamanaka's Flower Shop, Ino leaned her elbow on the counter reading a magazine out of boredom. Business was slow and the only customers she had all day were the ones who came around to observe some flowers and then leaves. She would work on some studying for school but she thought that was boring too. The sound of the door bell ringing caught her attention and she looked up to see a young man walking in. She straightens up her apron and hair a little and watched the young man look around the shop. His dark hair was short, shoulder length, with a headband tied across his forehead. His green eyes sparkled from the morning sun, hiding behind long lashes. The clothes he wore were a red shirt with black long shorts, giving his complexion a smooth pale look to it. If Ino had to guess she would say the young man was around the age of eighteen or twenty, or somewhere between there. He went around the corner behind a wall of flowers, hiding her view of him. Tightening her ponytail, Ino left the counter to follow the handsome young man.
"Can I help you?" She asked with a smile.
"Ah no thank you, I'm just looking around." He said.
"Yeah but there got to be a reason for a guy such as yourself to be looking in a flower shop. Anyone in particular, say a girlfriend perhaps?"
"Nope, I'm just looking."
"Really….Well my name is Ino Yamanaka by the way and I think you are really…" Ino said walking seductively to the young man. "Something."
"Really…well Ino Yamanaka, you know what I think." The young man said backing away from the blonde."
"What do you think?"
"I think you are the most desperate girl in Konoha I've ever met. In fact, I know to be correct."
"WHAT" Ino bellowed, changing her demeanor from seductive stance to an angry stance. "What do you mean by that and what do you mean by knowing me?" She said putting her hands on her hips.
"Ino it's me, Sakura." The young man said with his voice changing to the high pitch girl voice that was known to belong to her friend, Sakura.
Ino gasped when the information she was just given sunk in and watched in fright and in amazed at the boy's appearance changing into Sakura. Well mainly his hair changing back to the pink color it uses to be. Plus the extra muscle was gone too.
"Sakura, how you…I mean what did you…I got to sit down."
"It's simply really; I was paying attention to Anko and Kurenai when they were teaching us about the transformation jutsus. It was hard to get the hang of it but with enough practiced I got it."
"Wow Sakura, compared to what you looked like a few weeks ago, nothing compares to this." Ino said using her hands for emphasis on how Sakura looked as a boy.
"I know. I had you going there didn't I?"
"You had me alright. You know Sakura; I think this plan of yours just might work."
"It has to work or I'm toast."
There was a short pause before anyone spoke again.
"So when is your interview with Jiraiya?" Ino asked walking back to the front counter.
"It's today actually. I received a letter from them yesterday on when my interview with them is and what time. I was on my way there when I saw your shop and just had to show off my new look. You know, testing it to see if it's doable."
"I can't believe they bought that application we sent them. I guess we were to their liking." Ino said smiling at her friend in boy's clothing.
"Yeah. Well I better change back before someone think it's strange that a girl is wearing boy's clothing."
With her hands together, Sakura performed the transformation and was back as the young boy she was when she walked in.
"Definitely better then the last one," Ino said looking Sakura/boy disguise up and down.
"Now don't go flirting with me again, Ino." Sakura said heading to the door.
"I'm not, just admiring your handy work. By the way I've meant to ask you how you get rid of…." Ino trailed off to use her hands to express the words she was not saying. She moved her hands in a circular motion across her chest. Getting her point, Sakura/boy smiled and nodded.
"Binding. I can't use all my chakra or I'll be completely useless."
"Right. Well good luck Sakura."
"Please, call me Yoshi." Yoshi said smiling his manly smile.
Ino nod and shook her head when Yoshi headed out the shop. Before Yoshi could get any further from the shop, Ino stepped out and called his name to get his attention. Yoshi turned around to see Ino running after him and stayed put to let her catch up.
"Yoshi before you go, I want to give you something." Ino said digging in her pocket for something. "It's a good luck charm from me and the girls for you. We want you to take it with you when you go there and train." She pulled out a red and black rope bracelet out of her pocket and tied it around Yoshi's right wrist. "Now I know since you are a guy and all, that putting charm and other girly stuff on it would clash with your new look, so we kept it simple. Every tread touched by every one of your friends for luck and hope you well on your quest to become a shinobi."
"Thanks Ino and tell the girls thanks too."
"I will," she said with tears in her eyes. "Look at me, I'm crying and all you're doing is going to a stupid school for shinobis. It's not like you're leaving the country."
"Oh Ino come here."
Yoshi grabbed Ino and pulled her in for a hug. Some girls passing by looked on and giggled as the two hug. Ino was the first to pull away.
"You better go; you know you don't want to be late for your interview. Just make sure you come back and tell me and the others how it went."
"I will, Ino. I'll come right afterwards okay."
Ino nod her head in agreement.
"Bye Ino."
"Bye Sa…Yoshi."
After their good-byes the two went their separate ways. Yoshi continued his walked to the school with the last few weeks on his mind. Sakura and the girls really worked hard in putting Sakura-Gets-Macho in action. It took a lot of research and practice to get this far and now he was one step away from becoming a shinobi. Well technically, a few steps away considering the training he'll have to endure to become a shinobi, but Sakura can do it. He just has to keep what he learned in mind and determine to stick with it. No matter the difficulties. He can do this. With a little faith and the girls on his side he can. A smile on Yoshi's face thinking about the few weeks training with the girls to become the guy he is now.
DAY 1
"Alright, day one of Sakura-Gets-Macho is to commence," Tamari said standing in front of her friends.
The four girls were sitting around a table in Sakura's backyard with Tamari standing in front of them. They each had a notepad in their hands getting ready to take notes.
"Alright, what do we know about the opposite sex?" Tamari continued.
"We know that they are hot," Ino put in.
"That's besides the point Ino, what do we know of them, what they do, wear, etc, those things."
"Well," TenTen started. "…Besides their looks, they are rough and forward in determination in everything they do."
"Let's not forget they also have a brain, the size of a pea," Sakura laughed.
Ino, Tamari, and TenTen didn't laugh but Hinata laughed a little while blushing. Sakura stopped her laughing and look away.
"You know Sakura; if you're to become a guy you might want to get rid of some of your lame jokes." Tamari said.
"And referring the male sex with pea brains." Ino put in.
"What… it was funny." Sakura said with a frown.
"Yeah right, anyway let's get back to business." Tamari begin.
DAY 3
"These are the only clothes I've found from my brothers' room that they can't wear anymore," Tamari said throwing some clothes on Sakura's bed.
"Here are so-some of my cousin's clothes." Hinata said putting more clothes on the bed.
The five friends look over the pile of clothes. The varies of colors and styles. Each girl picked up an article of clothing and held them up.
"Hey look at me." Ino bellowed.
Everyone looked at her and started laughing. She was dressed in a blue and black, shirt and pants uniform. Soon all of the girls start to put on the clothes and looking in the mirror.
DAY 7
"No, that is not how you do it, it suppose to be like this." TenTen put in.
TenTen walked down the hall with her shoulders slumped and hands in her pocket. Ino shook her head at seeing TenTen imitation of a man's walk.
"No, no you are doing it all wrong, it's like this." Ino said.
She stood before her friends and started to walk with a hop in her steps.
"Yo what's up," she nodded, passing her friends on the way by.
"Somehow I don't think any man I ever seen walked like that Ino," Sakura said holding her laugh.
"They do too." Ino replied back.
"I like to see that with my very own eyes," Tamari countered.
"Well m-my cousin, Neji, h-he walk like this." Hinata said, mustering enough courage to show off her cousin's walk. With her shoulder squared back and chest puffed out, she walked down the hall.
"That is good, Hinata, I might use that," Sakura said admiring the walk and started to test it.
Hinata blushed from the comment and watched Sakura practice the walk.
DAY 9
"How about this look," Sakura said standing in front of her friends, trying on different clothes.
She tried on wigs, mustaches, side burns, everything to look like a guy, but nothing worked. The only thing that was working for her was the wig but it didn't fit with her figure.
"This is hopeless," Sakura said, leaning her head in her hands.
"Don't give up Sakura, we'll figure something out." Ino said rubbing her hand across Sakura's back.
Day 10
Sakura stood by the post box down the street from her house. In her hands was the application for Jiraiya's School for Shinobi. She just got through filling it out, with the help of her friends, and now she was about to send it off. With one long sigh, she slipped the application in the box and walked back home.
DAY 11
Sakura was in class where Kurenai and Anko were secretly teaching the shinobi's ways again. This time they were learning a technique about transformation jutsus.
"This technique will allow you to change form to anyone you want to be," Anko said. "But in order to do this, you must know how to control chakra to perform it. Watch Kurenai as she demonstrates the transformation."
Sakura and the rest of the students watch Kurenai performed the jutsus and watch as she turned into Tsunade. Everyone laughed but Sakura had an ingenious smile on her face. After school, she spent her time at home practicing the jutsus until she only managed to change her hair color and add some muscle to her. The look came to her by looking through some of her old magazines to find some random guy to perform the jutsus. She was somewhat pleased with the turnout. She practices some more just in case there were some other changes she could make.
The rest of the week her and her friends spent the rest of the time looking at the gorgeous guys at the school. Ino, Tamari, and TenTen pointed to all the young men they wanted Sakura to talk to and ask some questions. She of course agreed just to get them off her back. Yesterday was when the letter arrived. She was nervous to open it but when she did, she was greeted with a letter of a meeting with the headmaster of the school, Jiraiya. Now she was on her way to the school now, as Yoshi. Sakura, when she woke up this morning, studied her profile from head to foot. She didn't want to get none of her information wrong when Jiraiya ask her about her profile.
Sakura, to be correct Yoshi, stood at the gates of the school. Some of the guys were outside practicing in the yard and he couldn't help admiring their stance and fighting technique. Pulling himself out of his trance when the gates opened, he looked at the narrow road leading to the school. With what he practiced with his friends, he squared his shoulders, and puffed his chest out and walked idly on the road.
This is it Sakura, no backing down now he thought.
Let's show them what a girl can do, cha inner Sakura screamed in Sakura head. Amazing enough, inner Sakura was dressed up as Yoshi and looked like him too.
With new confident, Yoshi took his first step on the path to becoming a shinobi.
AN: So what do you think of it so far? I had fun writing this one. I hope you didn't get confuse on Sakura being Yoshi. It confuse me a little bit when I wrote it. So I'm telling you this now, whenever Sakura is Yoshi, it'll be in his point of view and when it's Sakura, it'll be in her point of view, but overall we all know that Yoshi is Sakura, and Sakura is Yoshi.
Anyway, please review, I love reading them.
