Naruto fidgeted they had did as Minato requested and stayed put ignoring that strange urge to -shudder- go shopping. According to Sakura and Rin (who had finally ended their spar in a tie) it was just because apparently now that the boys were girls it was entirely normal to desire at least one trip to a store to satisfy their girly curiosity, after that they may end up hating shopping all together and never desire to go again.

Sasuke for some reason had found logic in that explanation but hadn't acted upon it instead gently rocking Calcifer to sleep, Rin and Sakura were competing in an eating contest since their spar had ended a tie as Minato had screeched, and I quote "PACK IT IN BEFORE I HANG YOU UPSIDE DOWN BY YOUR TOES ABOVE A LEECH PIT!"

So wisely the newly turned boys had stopped lest the angry female fourth Hokage reeked vengeance upon their souls, somewhere the Shinigami sneezed, Kushina was still trying to woo her future husband by posing 'manly moves' "Come on! Girls look at that body ah! Girls look that body ah! Girls look at that body ah! Yeah I work out."

Minato turned her nose up at the display instead discussing with Kakashi sensei ways to undo the jutsu without finding Jiraiya.

As a newly turned female Minato did not want to deal with her perverted sensei's shenanigans at the moment, Kakashi, Obito, Iruka and Gaara wholeheartedly agreed but couldn't offer much in helping to find a fix to their mess.

Obito was been examining her nails for a solid twenty minutes now when the simplest thing occurred to her "Naruto! Just do the jutsu again in reverse!" €

Naruto startled out of her Shogi game, which she was losing terribly against Sasuke, replied "Huh?"

Obito bounced in front of her "Think about it! If you just do the jutsu in reverse we'd revert back to how we were and the moment we left from! Get it?"

Naruto processed what she said then nodded excitedly "Yeah that's right! OK here we go."

Sasuke grabbed her hands before they made a seal "Wait a minute you two, how do you know this won't backfire on us spectacularly?"

Simultaneous they replied "We don't."

Sasuke said "And yet you're going to do it anyway?"

Naruto and Obito shared a look and a grin "Yep."

Sasuke sighed cradling Calcifer protectively "I just want you to know you're both idiots and if we die I haunt you beyond the most nightmarish things you can imagine."

Again they chorused "We know."

Sasuke growled "Stop that!"

Naruto formed the first seal "OK here we go uh how'd the jutsu go? Inu Ushi Mi, no wait Ino, U, Tori. No that's not it Hitsuji, Ushi, Tora? Ah what the heck Uma, Saru, Mi, Tori, Inu, U, Hitsuji, Ino, Tora, U Ninja art Time travelling jutsu!"

Sasuke froze a split second before yelling out "NARUTO YOU IDIOT YOU ADDED AN EXTRA HAND-" Was all she could yell as their surroundings blurred once more before a neon green smoke encased them all. So Sasuke's voice finished "-SIGNS..."

His voice sounded deeper though, Naruto asked cautiously "Guys and gals are we guys and gals again?..."

The smoke cleared a bit allowing them to see Rin and Sakura definitely girls again puking up the food from their contest.

Sakura whimpered pitifully "I feel so fat… and dirty…. Oh so very dirty."

Rin patted her back roughly "Hold on Sakura we can mend the damage with a day long spa trip with the works."

Sakura groaned "You don't think it's too late?"

Rin replied sagely "It's never too late."

Iruka whispered to Gaara "We may have been girls ourselves a minute ago but I will still never understand them."

Gaara's eye nearly twitched as he thought of Temari "I'd drink to that."

Kakashi sensei waved a bottle of sake tantalisingly "Did someone say drink?"

Gaara rolled his eyes "Sure why not. Hand me a cup."

Iruka widened his eyes "Wow, rebelling much?"

Gaara chugged back a shot "Just living life to the full dog."

Kushina was lying as low as possible trying to forget the whole Minato-I-will-do-bad-things-to-you-in-the-closet-that-you'll-never-forget-in-a-hurry-you-wonderful-woman and contented herself by repeating "It was all a dream, it was all a mushroom induced haze."

Minato ignored this and examined himself relieved yet worried "Guys what did you do?"

Obito puffed up proud to be a guy once more and for thinking of the idea "I had Naruto do the jutsu in reverse so in theory we should have appeared moments after we left the last time period."

Minato nodded "That actually makes sense, good thinking."

Sasuke flickered his gaze around warily "Yeah but blondie over there added an extra handsign at the end."

There was silence followed by "YOU WHAT!"

Naruto waved his hands "What's the big deal? We're as we should be and all of us are normal again so what's the problem?"

Iruka stated simply "The problem is even a single change could drastically alter the intentions of the jutsu. Who knows where or when we are now."

Gaara asked quietly "What time were you thinking of when you cast the jutsu?"

Naruto cocked his head to the side "Well... the first week after I officially became a genin team with Sasuke and Sakura."

Iruka asked "And where were you thinking of particularly during said week?"

Naruto scrunched his face up into deep thought "Around the training grounds I think."

After about five minutes Obito commented "So since we're all standing I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say we're not dead. Or are we dead and we just don't know it yet?"

Kakashi replied "I dunno, let's have test."

With that he punched his teammate in the shoulder.

"OW! You didn't have to hit me!" He said rubbing his arm.

"Well looks like you've proved you in particular are alive. Yay and all that."

"Don't sound so enthusiastic."

"If that's what you wish."

Minato hushed there argument "Guys we need to see if it worked!"

Sakura finally accepting her fate of being filthy for the time being took in their surroundings and crunched her knuckles "IDIOT! We haven't moved at all Naruto!"

Naruto rubbed his head in anticipation of a new lump to his head whining "Sakura how do you know we haven't changed times just cuz we look like we haven't?"

At that she blushed and he avoided getting hit "Um oh… I uh…"

Sasuke huffed "Whilst you work it out I need to get Calcifer some lava."

Iruka blanched "Why in the hell do you even NEED lava?"

Sasuke looked at him with a 'duh' expression "Too many solids can't be good for him."

Iruka groaned "Let me rephrase that, where in the hell would you even get lava?"

Sasuke smirked "That's for me to know and you to never find out unless you want to take a permanent vacation."

He strode away leaving a freaked out Iruka who said to Rin "Man he's spooky."

Minato examined Naruto "Interesting it seems the seals have melded in your body which will make it possible for you to use the justu again, if it worked that is, without writing them out each time."

Kakashi sensei looked sideways at his sensei "Are you sure that's a good thing?"

Minato shrugged "Eh too late now."

Obito patted his head "Well sorry pal but it looks like you goofed."

A rustle came from the bush beside them making the shinobi tense, a second later a blond blur rolled out "OW! Man that's gotta be the worst landing ever."

They stared at the boy who appeared close to the genin's age somewhere around thirteen wearing a silver jacket with an orange streak on each side and black pants, a leaf head band on his forehead. His lavender eyes stared at them before he jumped up pointing at them "HEY WHO THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"

"Idiot can't you recognise them?" A second boy with spiked up black hair which seemed to shine dark red in places said, "You really are a knucklehead if you don't notice."

The second boy had green eyes that were seemingly disinterested and he was wearing a red t-shirt with wide collar and black wrappings around his wrists, he had black shorts on and more black wrappings around his ankles with the leaf headband on his forehead as well.

The blonde spun on him "SHUT UP! You're just pissy cuz I sent that note to Takako saying it was from you!"

The dark haired boy smouldered "You pull a stunt like that again and I will bury you where no one will ever find you!"

"Try it jerk!"

"Don't think I won't bitch!"

"Moron!"

"Smart arse!"

"Mothers boy!"

"Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?"

They glared a few moments more before bursting out into laughter the dark haired one said "Smart arse? Really? I thought we'd mutually decided I was snarky?"

The blonde one snickered "What can I say I'm a spur of the moment kinda guy."

A long brown haired girl with blue eyes wearing a purple vest, white skirt, black shorts and wearing her headband on her arm huffed "There you two are! Why do you always leave me behind, sometimes I just wanna grab your heads and nu nunu NERRRR!"

She made crushing motions, the blonde pouted giving her puppy eyes "Aw c'mon Shizuku chan ya love us really."

The newly dubbed Shizuku sighed "Wish I didn't sometimes."

A fourth voice sounding older and more laid back said casually "I find it discouraging you guys aren't interrogating the new comers to see if they're possibly enemies."

Everyone looked up into the tree the voice originated from the three new kids saying "Sensei!"

This sensei had stack of unruly silver hair that was near white in the sun with Inuzuka clan marks on his cheeks, his eyes where black, he looked about nineteen. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a long sleeved mesh shirt underneath, black metal gloves, a green jounin vest and black pants with a black and white husky at his side. He smiled casually using two fingers to lazily salute whilst saying "Yo."

Sakura and Rin instantly had the hots for him.

Inner Sakura CHA! He's what Kakashi sensei would probably look like without the mask!

The sensei hopped down by his students "Huh I thought my old man was kidding when he told me that kooky story. Ha who knew?"

Minato diplomatically said "Care to introduce yourselves?"

He raised an eyebrow at the yellow flash but answered anyway "Yo my names Sakumo Hatake. My likes…. Don't really feel like telling you that, I don't dislike many things and dream for the future… Meh It'll come to me eventually."

The time traveller's sweat dropped, Kakashi sensei's eye widened 'Wait don't tell me he's who I think he is.'

The blonde went next "Hey! My names Haku Uzumaki! I like ramen, training, fireworks, pranks, bird watching, hand to hand combat and adventure! I don't like stuck up prats, ninja who abandon there friends, bullies and traitors, my dream is to be a better Hokage than my old man!"

Gaara cocked his head 'Didn't we meet Naruto's future son as a child called Haku? Interesting.'

The dark haired boy went next "My names Itachi Uchiha. I like my family, training, fishing, reading and dango. I don't like snakes, arrogant people or my mother angry, my dream is yet undecided… but I'm leaning towards head of Anbu to keep this twit from killing himself."

He ignored Haku's 'HEY!' as Shizuku said "Hey I'm Shizuku Unohana. I like studying, my friends, flowers and drawing. I don't like cliché bullies, thunderstorms, cheaters or grapefruit. My dream is to be the best kunoichi I can be and be trained in weaponry by Tenten san."

Sakumo eye smiled "So you guys got it yet?"

Sasuke blinked slowly "So you're Kakashi's kid, I'm presuming you're mine and Sakura's –he pointed at Itachi who nodded- and you're the dobe's and Hinata's –he pointed at Haku who nodded as well.- You… You I have no clue about,"

Shizuku rolled her eyes "Hardly surprising since I'm the first ninja in my family."

Obito clicked his tongue "Aimed for just after you became genin huh? One week ya said. Pretty distant week if ya ask me."

Sakumo 'hmmed' thoughtfully "Well my lil pack of renegades just made genin last week if that helps at all."

Minato groaned "Great so from what I gather adding that extra seal made your intended destination by a decade or two. Then again Jiraiya sensei did say seals were tricky like that, huh speaking of sensei I guess we won't be able to find him in this era. Damn back to square one, Kakashi pass me my notes! Kakashi? Kakashi!"

Obito grinned widely as he supported his swaying teammate "Yeah he broke into the sake with Gaara not long after Sakumo appeared, although Gaara seems to hold his liquor better."

Gaara narrowed his eyes as he sipped more sake carefully "Are you trying to say something?"

Naruto said "Do ya reckon Gaara's reformed enough and will spare his life?"

Sasuke replied "How should I know? You're the one who tamed him."

Haku whispered loudly "Dude the 'rents are kinda fascinating at our age."

Itachi whispered back just as loudly "I can't believe you can actually pronounce a word as sophisticated as fascinating."

Haku growled "Why you-!"

Sakura intervened at this point "Haku no attacking Itachi!" Itachi looked superior for a moment at his future mother's support until she continued "And Itachi no antagonising him or else!"

Haku and Itachi shivered as Shizuku added in a harsh whisper "And if your mum doesn't get to you idiots first, I know ALL your hiding spots."

Haku swallowed thickly "ALL of them!"

Shizuku grinned "ALL of them."

Sakumo added "Well they're not exactly that hard to find, the Hokage monument for example, really? I mean anyone who spends a whole two seconds with you two could work out that's your hangout point in a heartbeat."

Naruto huffed "Great we didn't even get to use that spot and we're already going have to relocate."

Sasuke groaned "But I just finished finalising the plans."

Naruto patted his back "I know mate. Blame cooler sensei junior for blabbing."

Kakashi sensei raised an eyebrow "You think my possible future kid is cooler than me?"

Sasuke nodded "Oh totally."

Naruto agreed "No contest."

Obito snickered as Kakashi added "Yeah even I have to agree he's like soooo much cooler than the pair of us combined I mean dude he's got a Inuzuka nin dog. You know what else? He shows his face, yeah I went there whatcha gonna do 'bout it bitches?"

Gaara said "Yeah I think you should stop drinking before you get off your face."

Kakashi burst into giggles "That's funny since you can't see my face, I'm gonna get off my face, which rhymes with trace, I can trace my family tree alllll the way back to granpappy Takashi. Hehe I like you."

Obito rolled his eyes "Right. On that note I think we should probably get back on course and back in time."

Rin said kindly "All though it was lovely to meet you all, I'm sure we'll see you in the future."

Just as she said that there were three loud grumbles, all eyes stared at the embarrassed Uzumaki trio, Naruto said "Maybe after we grab some lunch?"

Haku grew excited "Ooo like ramen?"

Sasuke sighed into his palm "Is there something about your lots genetics that just make you addicted to ramen." He looked at Itachi "Please tell me you haven't been corrupted to ramen."

Itachi shrugged "Meh I eat it from time to time but there's no love lost there."

Sasuke sighed in relief "Oh thank kami, now could you please get some lighter fluid for Calcifer? I've run out."

Itachi's eyes widened "No way! You have Calcifer? I haven't seen the little dude in ages!"

Haku tugged his arm whining "Less talky more walky! Ramen is calling me! I must answer her sweet delicious call."

A sinister chuckled floated into the clearing "Well well what do we have here?"

The time travellers froze, Naruto clenched his fist "I know that voice."

The voice said "It's taking me many years of research but I've finally found the lot of you at last I can take revenge and discover your secrets."

The ninja all readied themselves with a kunai in hand, baring Kakashi who spread his arms like an aeroplane and sang "I believe I can fly!"

Obito slapped his face "Snap out of it dude! We have a probable dangerous nin on the loose trying to kill us."

Kakashi laughed "Kill, spill, thrill, drill, bill, pill, let me know when I'm rambling."

The voice laughed eerily "Such unrest among friends, oh well it'll make my job easier."

Kakashi sensei moved to his sensei's side unveiling his sharingan as Minato prepared a rasengan "You shouldn't have returned."

The figure stepped out of the shadows with his accomplice "This time Orochimaru we'll kill you."

Kakashi yelled "With a giant frying pan!"

Obito hissed "Dude or shush! Gaara can you at least keep him within the limits of your sand shield whilst we fight please?"

Gaara cast an eye over the moon walking shinobi that started the Macarena "Eh why not, but if he bites me he's on his own."

Iruka snorted "What are they gonna do there's two of them and fifteen of us there's no way they can win."

Orochimaru wiggled his tongue before summoning Manda with Kabuto charging up his nerve jutsu at his side "Now we fight."

Iruka gulped sizing up the giant snake "That might help them out a little."

Kushina punched him in the arm "You had to temp fate didn't you?"

"Well somebody had to!"

"But why did you have to do it now!"

"Because it seemed like a good idea at the time!"

"When is it ever a good time to temp fate!"

Kakashi put in "I don't know what we're yelling about!"

Orochimaru snickered "Not very sensible soldiers are you?"

Naruto shouted "OK let's run wild and send his scaly ass packing!"
