Kushina masked the small bit of amusement she got as she watched her sensei fly backwards under the power of a massive nosebleed as the impromptu Henge test had turned into yet another opening for Naruto to pull one of his infamous pranks. This time, Naruto had turned into a naked woman who looked to be either in her late teens or early twenties. The near perfection of the technique revealed a large amount of research on Naruto's part. Whether the smoke around the private areas was for modesty or to cover a lack of knowledge on what the female anatomy looked like had yet to be determined however. With children her and Naruto's age, it was a mixed bag since some were ignorant, some had siblings of the opposite sex that they might've walked in on, and some may have already "experimented".
She knew that she was currently physically male, but she would be correcting that as soon as she could make a complete job of it. She'd looked into the possibilities offered by Naruto's favorite Transformation trick, but had dismissed them because - aside from the fact that it couldn't be maintained 24/7 - it didn't give her what she wanted. She'd done a great deal of research, and currently, there was no known Jutsu, Seal, or medical technique that would physically make her the female she should have been born as, and leave her able to bear the children she would need to give birth to in order to restore her clan.
One day, after she had killed It- That Man whom she'd once called brother, she would find the secret that would enable her to turn into the person she should have been in the beginning, the girl her parents had wanted, and she would have many sons and daughters. When that time came, she planned to enlist the help of one or more donors for the whole baby thing, because she had not found herself attracted to any of the males in the village, or any of the other females either for that matter. The idea of sex in and of itself didn't particularly attract or repulse her, and despite the off-color remarks that had been directed at her, was mostly indifferent to the concept of intercourse.
Coming out of her musings, she narrowed her eyes as she caught the Umino looking in her direction and sighing. She knew exactly what his issue was and wished he'd drop it. The man had said that she was doing this for all the wrong reasons and that it would just lead to trouble, but she couldn't think of a better reason than to be what her parents had wanted her to be in the first place. It wasn't like she'd been particularly attached to being a boy when she was younger, so it wasn't really all that great of a loss as far as she was concerned.
Turning her attention back to the lesson, she watched as Watari Noriko finished her transformation, completing the test that Naruto had caused by being his dumb self and provoking the teacher yet again after pulling another one of his stupid pranks. The only reason she could think of for why their mothers had been friends was that opposites attracted. It was understandable that they started to grow apart in later years, especially if her namesake had remained like her son well into her adulthood.
"I should've known there was a reason Obito was a little too comfortable disguising himself as a girl during that one mission." Kakashi said as he looked at the picture of his third potential student whose long spiky hair which had failed to be tamed by a pair of jeweled hairclips made him look a bit like a younger version of the statue of Uchiha Madara which was at the Valley of the End.
Rather than being out at the memorial stone talking to his sensei and Obito like he'd usually be doing at that hour when he wasn't on a mission, Hatake Kakashi was reviewing the files he'd been given on a number of Academy students. He would be testing three of these students in little more than a week, and he needed to know which buttons to push.
The teams had mostly been set before the year was even half over, but since Kakashi had been assigned the wild card team this year, he had more files to review than the other sensei. It was almost a given that he would be teaching Uchiha Sasuke aka Kushina, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto, but there was always a possibility that the graduation exam could end up changing things. Considering the point spread, it was possible that Aburame Shino might take the Rookie of the year spot, and Yamanaka Ino might take the Top Kunoichi spot, as they were close enough behind the two in the top positions that there might be an upset. At the bottom of the class, there were a couple potentials, especially if Naruto failed his graduation exam for a third time.
Turning his attention back to the file in front of him, he started to read. He wasn't too sure about Sasuke, who was insisting he be called Kushina and treated like a girl. About the only reason he hadn't kicked the crap out of the Uchiha boy for taking Kushina-nee's name was because he knew that Kushina-nee would've found it funny as hell. Had she still been alive, she would've been dressing Sasuke in pretty little dresses and doing his hair, chattering about anything and everything that came to mind as she did so, completely disregarding the boy's parents' wishes on the matter.
Rin likely would've joined in on the fun and painted Sasuke's fingernails and toenails. Rin'd had a rather steady hand when it came to nailpolish, and could've done a salon quality job in under a minute. He knew that for a fact, because he'd watched her paint Obito's toenails while he was asleep.
Obito and Minato-sensei would've likely stood in the background snickering as they imagined Fugaku's reaction to his son's Make-over. After the fun was over, Minato-sensei would've likely sat Sasuke down and told him that he was willing to support his life's choices, and that he could come to him if he needed support. Obito would've continued to laugh, but then again, he would also have gotten himself beaten up defending Sasuke from their older relatives and anyone else who might've had an issue with the boy.
Fugaku however would've been furious enough to strangle someone - quite likely Obito - for allowing his younger son to be put in women's clothing.
Realizing that he was unable to focus, Kakashi set the Uchiha child's file aside and decided to deal with the issue and his potential approach to it later. Dealing with the Uchiha would be tricky, and not only because the kid had obvious issues aside from that pride that most members of the clan were born with. There were a number of political aspects to his being assigned as the boy's teacher as well. That, and he'd been ordered to encourage the child to reproduce. Which was clearly not gonna happen
Deciding that it would be easier to deal with, since her issues were likely far simpler than those of the Uchiha or Minato-sensei's son who was still too painful to look at, he pulled Haruno Sakura's file towards him. Haruno Sakura had nearly graduated the previous year and very nearly ended up on Gai's team, but her mother had prevented her from taking the graduation exam a year early, and had actually locked her in the house on the day of the test. Which had put all of the retired Kunoichi's shinobi skills to the test, since the child had been utterly determined to be on the same team as her "One True Love". The same had happened to the Yamanaka girl whose father hadn't wanted her anywhere near the Hyuuga boy who seemed to be somewhat mentally unbalanced, but not too unbalanced to become a shinobi.
Since the Haruno girl seemed to be a fangirl, albeit one that had been smart and skilled enough to graduate early in order to grow closer to the object of her affections, he could base his approach on that.
Umino Iruka sighed as he graded the last pieces of homework that his students would ever turn in. Tomorrow was the Academy Graduation Exam, and he was growing increasingly apprehensive as it approached. Two students were of particular concern to him, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha "Kushina". Naruto was of concern to him because it was the boy's last chance since the child had rather foolishly attempted to graduate early twice and failed both attempts. You only get three chances, and then you're done. As for why he was worried about Kushina, he was worried because it was a given that the Uchiha boy would graduate, and when he did, the trouble would start.
While many shinobi found cross-dressing and the like to be a non-issue, or a minor matter, most others looked down on it at the very least, and a small handful even lethally objected to it. Those who identified as the opposite gender, especially males who identified as females, tended to be picked on quite often, and were occasionally on the receiving end of violence from their own comrades as well as the enemy. While shinobi didn't generally kill other shinobi over such things, it had been known to happen on the rare occasion, and there had been a number of slightly suspicious friendly fire accidents that had left transgender shinobi too injured to work over the years.
Even more worrisome to Iruka was the fact that he didn't know Kushina's potential sensei's views on the matter, and was afraid that the boy would get it from his sensei as well as his future colleagues. Which could drive the boy either to suicide or homicide considering the boy's other issues, and the repressed anger that was obviously just waiting for the right trigger to cause it to explode.
He hoped to god that Naruto ended up graduating, and not just for Naruto's sake. Odds were that the boy would be Dead Last, which would place him on "Kushina's" team, and that was the best possible option for "Kushina", since the boy simply did not care in the least that "Kushina" had been born male.
"So, do you want to get a drink?" Mizuki who'd taken and corrected a stack of work while he'd been lost in thought asked, pulling him out of his musing.
"Sure, I could use one right about now." Iruka replied with a smile, glad to have his best friend assisting him.
"You're buying!" Mizuki yelled, as he dove out the window and raced for the bar.
Laughing, he pulled his vest off of the back of his chair and chased after the other man. While Mizuki often put his foot in it, accidentally pressing buttons without realizing it, he also always knew what to say to make him feel better when he was down. He couldn't ask for a better friend.
