Author's Note: Sorry, guys. Chapter three wasn't suppose to end that quickly. This here is the ending to the chapter, but I was too lazy to repost the entire chapter in its full entity. So I posted this as Part II of Chapter three.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Frantic

Present time:

Sakura ran quickly to the witch's hole, still fuming from the 'unfortunate' event of that morning.

*Damn that Naruto! She was going to kill him! She was going to skin him alive and hang him in the forest for the animals!*

But first she had to find the witch. She had to get her to reverse the supposed blessing that had now become a curse. It was sure as hell difficult enough enduring Naruto's little crush on her. How could she possibly survive his unconditional love? Just the thought alone made her shudder.

Arriving at the door, Sakura proceeded to knock, only to have the wooden frame open from within, causing her to fall forward. Fortunately something soft, or rather something thin and bony, broke her fall. Sakura found herself sprawled across the witch. Scrambling to her feet, she aided the old woman up.

"You have to help me!" Sakura cried at the same time the witch asked worriedly: "Did you let him drink it??!!"

They stared at each other in confusion, before Sakura yelled: "Help me!" at the same time the witch screeched: "Did you?!"

Biting her lips in frustration, Sakura gestured for the witch to speak first, only to have the old woman motion her to do the same. In the end, Sakura raised her hands in surrender and told the witch her plight.

"So you didn't give it to the one you love?" the witch asked for perhaps the twentieth time.

"Yes, yes! So help me. What am I to do?"

The witch heaved a sigh of relief and then her face clouded in fear.

"Whom exactly did you give it to?" she demanded suddenly latching on to Sakura's arm.

"You're hurting me. Let go!" cried Sakura shaking her arm as if a leech hung from it.

"Answer me!" hollered the witch in her high pitch voice. "Who did you give it to??"

"No one important, just the loudest, most obnoxious ninja in this entire village. So you see, you have to help me! I can't have him swear eternal love to me! I would sooner die!"

But the witch was oblivious to Sakura's pleas. She was now leaning against the door as if the world was slipping from beneath her feet.

"Oh God, oh God!" she mumbled. "It has started. I've started the ball rolling. Oh God // Oh God."

"What?! What are you talking about? What about Naruto? He's in love with me now!"

"No, you foolish child!" the woman cried harshly, effectively ending Sakura's complaints.

"We have more to fear than that. The ashes I gave you wasn't a love mixture // it was // it was // "

"What? What was it?" whispered Sakura.

"It was a gender switching potion," the witch managed to croak out.

Sakura stared uncomprehendingly at the witch in awkward silence before bursting out in happy laughter.

"Is that it??" she cried, "Thanks heaven it was only a gender shifting // GENDER SWITCHING POTION!!!"

The woman clamped a hand over Sakura's gapping mouth and dragged the pink-haired gennin into her lair.
