Yea I know all my chapters are short and not extremely long, but I like stopping things and make them go by days or at cliffhangers stuff like that… makes it fun xD…

A side note, I don't bond well with criticism or any of that, which is why I don't mind getting no reviews lol… Criticism and I are having an epic battle; we have been for years… So I don't bond well with flaming, heard criticism or hate or any of that… now to the story

Sasuke's POV

"...I am not Uzumaki Naruto, but I am Uzumaki Akuma. I am not a boy, but a girl."

What... Naruto is a girl? Naruto isn't Naruto but Akuma? What the hell?

"What..." I heard myself and Sakura say at the same time. I then noticed how Naruto got into a position to run and quickly grabbed his...err her... wrist. She struggled slightly; trying to resist my hold but then gave up.

"Nice joke Naruto, but there is no way you could possibly be a girl." I heard the banshee say as she laughed slightly, this made Naruto flinch. I stared down at Naruto...no Akuma.

"You know, bubblegum, you are a ninja too. You know a thing called 'Henge'. If not then go look it up, I have been henged for most of my life, under the name Naruto." Akuma spat out glaring daggers at the pink haired girl, who snorted at the comment.

Sakura's POV

Ha! Naruto is just a prankster so this is just another one of his pranks. Trying to make us all believe he is a girl, that is the worst prank yet. How dare he call me bubblegum and then sit here trying to talk ninja to me when I graduated higher than him.

I snorted at Naruto. "Right Naruto, there is no way someone like YOU can hold such a henge; you couldn't even pass a single test in the academy." I heard Sasuke-kun snort and wondered if he was agreeing with me.

"You know what Sakura, if you used your head you might realize that I wasn't the one holding the jutsu for so long, after all it was a sealed henge that the Sandaime placed on me. It started to break yesterday, so whatever happened during that stupid mission we had, cracked the seal, and the Sandaime can't fix it." I growled, how dare he treat me like a fool!

Naruto's POV

Sakura was really getting on my nerves... really now, I may of failed my tests in academy but I am NOT stupid.

"Sakura..." I looked up to Sasuke hearing his voice, "you are a nuisance. If you think you know anything about Naruto you are wrong." I was shocked; Sasuke is standing up for me? WHAT!

I looked at Sakura who seemed shocked at Sasuke's comment. "Wha-What do you mean Sasuke-kun?" he snorted as he looked down at me staring at me in my eyes. "If you can't see that Naruto always wore a mask, you are a fool. You make me sick."

Sakura's eyes were the size of dinner plates. "You tell her Uchiha! Make that bitch regret hurting my girl" I snickered at Kyuubi's comment gaining another look from the Uchiha and one from Kakashi-sensei. Then I noticed that Sasuke was still holding my wrist.

"Uh... teme, can you let me go now?" I said, knowing my face was slowly gaining a pink tint. Sasuke quickly retracted his hand and looked off; a faint blush plastered his face. I grinned, so the stick-in-the-ass Uchiha does have emotions.

†Break†

I sighed... Kakashi-sensei was really working us to the bone! I looked at my teammates; Sakura was walking on water to build her chakra, while Sasuke was building up the strength of his fire ninjutsu.

I looked down at the pile of cut leafs that sat next to me, it felt like I was the only one making progress, which seemed odd, but Kyuubi told me that it was due to my control of Chakra as Akuma.

I was tired, I didn't eat yet and my stomach was communicating with Kyuubi, who complained to me constantly. I sighed, I cut roughly 300 leafs, more than Kakashi even asked me to, but he still didn't dismiss me, why?

I then felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Sasuke. "Eh?" I said, confused to see the teme above me.

"Let's go Nar-Akuma... You haven't had anything to eat today so I'll take you to get ramen." I stared at Sasuke surprised; he was offering to treat me to food? What the hell!

I felt a hand grab mine as I was pulled up from the ground. I looked up at Sasuke and looked away. "Uh... Thanks...teme" I never had to thank Sasuke and it felt weird.

"Hn." he said as he walked towards the Ramen shop. I turned to see Sakura glaring at me as she was soaked from the water, while Kakashi was telling her something, probably to do with her water walking.

†Break†

Sasuke's POV

I watched as the dobe was on her 7th bowl of ramen, "Slow down dobe, or you will get sick." to my surprise she listened and slowed down in her eating. It was awkward, sitting there with the dobe in silence.

"Sasuke..." I turned around hearing my name, to see Kakashi-sensei walking up to me. "You are done your training for today. I haven't dismissed Akuma yet because she needs someone to walk with her."

"Why?" I said, wondering why the dobe needed an escort. I watched as Kakashi's gaze landed on the blonde, and looked in the same direction, she was sitting there with a huge pile of leafs by her, staring at them, seemingly lost in thought. "She didn't eat anything today, but she did manage to do over the amount of leaf splits I told her to."

I stared blankly 'The idiot forgot to eat? No wonder she seemed out of it when Kakashi-sensei was talking' I walked over towards Akuma, nodding to Kakashi in understanding.

'I guess it won't hurt to treat her to food...'

I stared down at my ramen, I was already full but there was some still left over in the bowl. I didn't like to waste food, I was taught better. I looked over at Akuma who had finished her 7th bowl. "Here" I said, sliding my bowl towards her, she jumped at the sound of my voice and blushed at seeing me giving my food to her.

The blush made her cute... 'NO! Stop it you are a UCHIHA!' I mentally slapped myself. Why am I having so much conflicts over her, Naruto, the girl who I had known as being a boy most of my life!

Naruto's POV

'Wow... Sasuke isn't acting normal'... I thought, as I saw the conflict in Sasuke's eyes. I looked down at the bowl that Sasuke slid to me. I bowed my head to him saying a quick 'Thank you' which snapped him from his daze and quickly ate the rest of what Sasuke gave me.

I got up as Sasuke paid the old man. I was stuffed! It felt nice to be able to eat after missing 3 meals I was too conflicted to even think of eating dinner last night. I thanked Sasuke again as I made it to my apartment.

I took a quick shower and changed into my nightwear. I stared into the mirror and noticed the whisker marks were even thicker than before, and two new markings reached my face at my chin, a triangle shaped maroon colored marking, on both sides of my chin was there. Then I noticed that the whisker marks took the same color, like they were scars from a fight or something.

I walked away from the mirror and laid down... this was... an 'interesting' day to say the least. I looked out the window by my bed and stared into the moon. Knowing that Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke were fine with me not being Naruto felt good, but feeling the killer intent from Sakura didn't fully make me feel better.

I sighed and rolled over, facing away from the moon and hugged my pillow close to me, drifting off into sleep.

-AN-

Thanks to everyone keeping up with this story. Since it is short submitted chapters that means that the story will be longer, what I might do is submit a chapter every Friday or every weekend, between Friday-Sunday since that is the time everyone is free and relaxing like myself

Edit: There was no different chat style in 3, however all the Saidaimes were fixed to Sandaime and all the Sauce was fixed to Sasuke
