Well……it's been a great story so far. And I'm sure you've enjoyed it. In fact, let's have a brief review……Old man visits town and "accidentally" causes Naruto and Sasuke to switch bodies. The old man dies. Jiraiya finds his scroll containing the information about the jutsu and a series of "steps". These "steps" must be completed in order to break the CURSE (It feels like a curse to Naruto and Sasuke.) Step 1 has already been completed.

I ask you……What should the next step be? I have a lot of ideas……But I'm sure you have some too. So please feel free to post any suggestions on what you think should be the next "mission" (or step) for Naruto and Sasuke to complete. It keeps the story going………Now enough of me talking… here's the next chapter……

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Chapter 6

"Soul, Passion, Life!!!"

Naruto, Kakashi, Gamatatsu, Sasuke, and Pakkun make their way towards the Leaf Village. (Sasuke finally wakes up). The gang has to cross the desert again while hearing Naruto brag about his match the whole way. Sasuke threatens to kill Naruto after what he did to him. Kakashi threatens to leave them in the desert if they don't stop. Gamatatsu breaks off to go to his home and Pakkun just teleports……Meanwhile the gang was being watched……

"Now can I cut him?" asked Kisame.

"I said NO!!!" yelled Itachi. "Naruto and Sasuke haven't returned to their bodies yet.

And what the crap is that smell?!!"

"Fish sticks…..want some?"

"I swear, on my family's grave, if you don't throw those away right now!!!"

"What? You'll take away my fishing rod, like last time?"

"I will use the Tsukuyomi on you. Don't try me."

"That jutsu of yours is so stupid...You're gonna need glasses soon, if you keep it up." Itachi uses the Tsukuyomi on Kisame.

"What the?...Where am I? Get me out of this…..You're wasting your time." (No reply) "Huh……Is that what I think it is?!!!...NOOOOOOO!!!!….. DOLPHINS!!!."

Itachi tortures Kisame for 12 hours. (Though it seemed that way to Kisame, it was only 10 minutes)

Back to the Main plot…….

Naruto and the gang make it back to the Leaf Village

Damage Report

1) Naruto has a black eye

2) Kakashi's mask is ripped

3) Sasuke is unconscious again (this time with a broken arm)

4) The gang is starving (Haven't eaten for a day)

Kakashi walks through the Village gate and is greeted by Ebisu. (He doesn't know that his mask fell off)

"Hello sir……are you lost?"

"Ebisu….it's me Kakashi."

"My god it is you…….Put your mask back on. You might scare someone and scar them for life."

" It fell off!!!"

"Yes. You haven't noticed?"

Kakashi jumps around and starts to panic…..Ebisu calms him down and gives him a newspaper to cover his face with. So the only thing showing was Kakashi's headband and his eyes. After these series of events, the gang gets something to eat at the Ramen Bar and makes it back to Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"What happened to you Naruto?" asked Jiraiya. Naruto points to Kakashi.

"Why is Sasuke unconscious?" asked Tsunade. Kakashi points to himself.

"And where's your mask?"

(No pointing)

After a few minutes with Tsunade, Naruto's black eye is cured, and Sasuke is awake now with a cured arm. But Kakashi leaves Tsunade's office in search of another mask. (He'll be gone for awhile).

"So did you guys complete the task?" asked Jiraiya. Sasuke throws the headband in Jiraiya's face.

"What's gotten in to you guys?"

"I want my fricken body back!!!" yelled Sasuke.

"Well why don't you just sit down and wait for us to give you the next step." said Tsunade. Naruto and Sasuke sit down and begin mumbling……….All of a sudden, Sasuke begins to form hand signs…..

"HEY!!! There will be NO jutsu in my office!!!!...GOT THAT?!!!"

Suddenly a Kunai is thrown into the room, and it hits the floor. Jiraiya walks out the room and looks in the Hallway to see who threw it…….

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!!!!"

Jiraiya is kicked from behind by a crazy man in green; with busy eyebrows, sparkling teeth, a messed up haircut, and very, VERY, tight pants. (It's OK…He's not Gay).

"It is I…..Might Guy!!!. The Handsome Devil of the Leaf!!. And my new Nice Guy…….Neji."

(No sign of Neji)

"And my new Nice Guy…….Neji."

Neji walks out slowly………He was wearing a green suit. (Like Rock Lee's)

"Guy Sensei…….Can I please take this off? It's a disgrace to the Hyuga Clan."

"You look………Fabulous Neji. Keep it on." said Guy.

( Neji breaks down into a speech)

"Naruto……Sasuke……. If you look into my eyes, you can see the pain that I'm going through. I can't live much longer with this……. excuse for a Sensei. I can't even begin to describe the torture he's put me through. Every night…. I dream about that dreadful day at the restaurant with Guy and his stupid jokes….. His horrible stories of him and his dumb turtle….. Having to hear his repulsive farting and burping at the dinning table…….. I just can't take it anymore (Neji starts crying)…….. I must find peace."

Neji takes out a sword (That he stole from Tenten) and prepares to do what "must" be done.

"OK!!!OK!!!...You can take it off Neji." yelled Guy. "You don't have to wear the suit. You're still a nice guy, without it." Guy takes the sword and throws it out the window…….nearly killing Akamaru.

(Jiraiya finally gets up)

"Excuse me….Guy."

"Yes Jiraiya?"

"Why are you here?"

"Oh yeah…….I forgot to tell you. Since Kakashi is looking for another mask, He put me in position to watch over Naruto and Sasuke, and to help them with their tasks. He told me all about the situation."

"And why are you here Neji?"

"Since I already knew about Naruto and Sasuke's situation, I volunteered to help……How stupid of me….."

Guy and Neji sit down in Tsunade's office. Finally, Tsunade can read the next step.

"Here it is……" said Tsunade.

STEP 2: Posses the Shell case of this slithering creature.

"Another retrieval mission?" asked Sasuke.

"Looks like it." said Jiraiya.

"This is an easy one." said Naruto. "It's obviously referring to a snake."

"What about the "shell case" part?" asked Tsunade.

"Snake skin."

Then, all of a sudden…….Everyone froze…The team realized that there were no snakes in the Leaf village. (Yes there were NONE). There was only one place, rather…..one person, who had A LOT of Snakes in his possession. Yes…..it was him …Orochimaru!!!

"We can't go up against Orochimaru." said Naruto. "When he's done with us……we'll end up just like Snake skin!!!."

"No need to worry." said Jiraiya. "You have Guy and Neji with you guys….Besides….You're after snake skin not Orochimaru. Once you get it you can just leave."

"Easier said than done." said Sasuke.

"You'll be safe with me." said Guy.

Neji looks out the window. (The one that Guy threw the sword through)

He looks back at Tsunade….

"Ok….We'll help them."

"Good" said Tsunade. "You can head for Orochimaru's Lair when you're ready."

The New Team—consisting of Guy, Neji, Sasuke, and Naruto—headed outside of Tsunade's office…

"Who wants to eat before we go?" said Guy.

"Can we just get on with the mission." said Neji. "I'm not hungry."

"Very well." said Guy. "We will conquer this mission!!!...Let's do it with Soul…….with Passion…And let's move with Life!!!...Are You With ME!!!!"

(Mumbling) "Yes……."

"Then…..Let's go."

They set off to go to Orochimaru's Lair……..On the way, Guy tells his stupid jokes and his Horrible stories, which tempts Neji to kill himself with Gentle Fist. (Don't worry, he uses self-control). Naruto listens to his I-pod…..and Sasuke thinks about the strange "presence" inside him…It takes about an hour to finally reach Orochimaru's lair. (Surprisingly, the Lair is that close to the Village.) The team discusses a plan before entering the territory.

Meanwhile…….. Tsunade is Reading the Newspaper….

"What in the world…………Holy CRAP!!!!!"

Let's look at what Kakashi is doing…..

One of the markets in Konoha………

(Kakashi speaking) "Yes!! I found a mask! And it's just like the one I had before."

Kakashi had been searching the shops all day for a new mask. When he takes the newspaper off his face, he's sees an article with Orochimaru's picture beside it.

"What's this?" said Kakashi.

Konoha Newspaper

Orochimaru has been protesting about the recent kidnappings of his baby pet snakes, Manda Jr., Hissy, and Bobo. He seems to be very upset and demands the kidnappers to release the baby snakes. Here's a quote from Orochimaru himself: "Whoever has captured my precious snakes, will pay if they don't release them at once.

If I see ANYONE in my territory messing with my snakes…they will be killed on sight!!! Even if you're not messing with my snakes……I'll still kill you for stepping in my territory!!" So to all citizens of the Leaf Village……please heed this warning.

"Well that's strange." said Kakashi. "Who would take Orochimaru's snakes...Oh well…."

Kakashi goes to his house and lies in a Hammock, while reading his book….

(Kakashi thinking) "I wonder what the next step was……Hmm……………Whatever it is……I hope Naruto and Sasuke can handle it.

Back to Guy and the team…..

"So what's the plan you guys?" asked Guy. "How do we retrieve this snake skin?"

(Naruto speaking) "We can just look around his Lair for some…..If we don't find any…..just ring the door bell and ask for some. He might just chase us away for being on his property, but all we have to do is be Nice and ask politely. We can even explain the situation we're in. Orochimaru loves to talk, right?"

"I'm not sure about this." said Neji.

"Don't worry Neji." said Guy. "Remember the motto: Fight with Soul, Fight with Passion, and Fight with Life. I know we can do this. Besides…..What's the worst that can happen?"

Bran The Man.
