Jiraiya sat hidden in a tree that looked over the woman's bath. There hadn't been very many girls coming here and it was hurting his research. Suddenly he saw the door to the bath house open and a tall blonde haired woman wearing nothing but a towel. She had beautiful golden hair and the most vivid blue eyes. He gave a lecherous grin as he watched the woman slip off her towel and slip into the water with her back to him. This woman would be great for his research.

"Oh what a nice bath," he heard her sigh. "It would be so much better if I had a handsome man by my side to enjoy it with me."

Jiraiya immediately jumped out of his hiding place and spoke to the girl. "I will join you my fair maiden," he said.

The woman looked up at him with shock in her eyes. "You will?" she asked.

"Of course," he said with another grin.

Just as he was about to start undressing, she got out and wrapped the towel around herself. "I would love that," she said, "but I'm kind of in a hurry. My friends and I are getting ready to leave town, and I have to go pack. If you come with us than we might be able to have a bath together while we are travelling."

"I will follow you anywhere," Jiraiya said as he tried to be romantic.

"We'll actually be looking for someone," she said. "Would you mind helping us?"

"I will do anything for you," said Jiraiya.

"Thanks," the woman smiled prettily. "We'll meet you at the bridge tomorrow." With that she left.

Sakura watched somewhat amusedly as Naruto interacted with Jiraiya-Sanin. He could have gotten the old man to go with them by simply telling him about that he was the son of the great Yondaime. God knows that Jiraiya would never deny anything to him if he did that. But no, he had to play a prank and punish the man for being a pervert. Not that she blamed him. It was kind of funny seeing Jiraiya get so perverted just because Naruto was before him. Especially, since she knew that Naruto was in fact a boy.

When Naruto left the Jiraiya sitting outside the bath house in a daze, she had to hold back a giggle. Jiraiya was really funny when he was acting like that. She looked over to see if Sasuke was enjoying Naruto and Sakura's amusement, but alls she saw was him sulking in a spot where he couldn't see the bath house at all. "Oh come on," she said. "It's not even his body."

"It's still him," Sasuke mumbled.

Sakura sighed. "You know you could have just asked him not to do it. You know he wouldn't have if you had asked him not to." Even as she said it, Sakura that Sasuke would never ask Naruto not to do something that Naruto wanted to do unless it was a life and death situation. He would never suspend any of Naruto's amusement no matter how he felt about the situation. Too bad he didn't know that Naruto would be happier to know that Sasuke cared enough about him to get jealous when he did a prank like this.

"Hn," Sasuke answered. Sakura smiled. Sasuke didn't really use that grunt much when he was around his team members, and it usually meant that he could think of nothing to say in his favor.

"Are you guys ready to go?" asked Naruto as he appeared before them in his fully clothed male body. He had a wide grin over his face and Sakura smiled at him. She looked over at Sasuke to see if he was ready to go and immediately saw that the man was in a much better mood than he had been previously. That was the affect of Naruto's smile.

"Ready whenever you are," she answered and Sasuke nodded his head to show his agreement.

The next morning Jiraiya was quick to get ready to leave. He couldn't wait to see that blonde and her no doubt lovely friends. He especially couldn't wait to have a bath with them like the woman had promised. Maybe they would even let him study them for his new book. He grinned pervertedly as he thought about it. Oh yes this would be a good trip.

Sasuke sat somewhat contentedly. Naruto had decided to make him a part of the prank by leaning against him in the female form. Naruto was taller than him in this form because, for some reason unknown to him, straight men seemed to be interested in the tall and slender women, but as Naruto sat slumped against him Sasuke could put his chin on his shoulder. If anyone had asked he would say he was doing it to help Naruto out with his prank, which Sasuke didn't even think was very funny, but he was really just happy to have Naruto in such close proximity even though the boy was in a female form.

When Jiraiya came into view Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's slender waist like the possessive boyfriend he was supposed to be playing. It wasn't really that hard. He did not like the way the pervert was looking at Naruto, and he was a little overprotective of Naruto. Not that he'd ever admit that.

"Hey," greeted Naruto as he stood up and waved at Jiraiya. Sasuke stood up next to him and immediately wrapped an arm around his waist. Sakura stood on Naruto's other side to watch the prank unfold.

Jiraiya seemed somewhat disappointed to see Sasuke standing next to Naruto, and he couldn't tell if it was because Naruto supposedly had a boyfriend or because Sasuke wasn't a girl. "Hey my love," said Jiraiya as he stared at Naruto's boobs. That answered that question. He was upset that Sasuke wasn't a boy.

"Are you ready to go?" asked Naruto.

"Of course my sweet," said Jiraiya.

"Before we go you have to promise to help us look for the person that we are looking for no matter what happens," Naruto said seriously.

"Anything for you," Jiraiya agreed.

Naruto smiled a bright smile at him before a realization seemed to hit him. "Oh!" he gasped. "We haven't introduced ourselves. These are my friends Sakura and Sasuke."

Jiraiya glanced at the two of them quickly before returning his gaze to Naruto's boobs. Naruto pretended not to notice, but Sasuke clenched his unoccupied hand in a fist. He wanted so badly to punch the perverted man that was staring at Naruto's chest so outright. It didn't matter that this wasn't even Naruto's body. It was still Naruto and he didn't like the way Jiraiya was staring. "I am the great and powerful toad-sannin. I am Jiraiya," he said proudly as he took Naruto's hand and kissed it, "and I will protect you through this journey."

Sasuke changed his mind. Now he was going to punch Jiraiya. Or maybe a few well placed kunai would teach the man never to lust after Naruto. He was just about to pull out a few kunai when he caught sight of Sakura. Of course she had to be his conscious at this moment since Naruto was preoccupied. He sighed and put the kunai away. He wanted so badly to hit him, but Sakura was right. He shouldn't attack one of Naruto's old senseis. Naruto would definitely not be happy with him if he did.

Naruto smirked. "My name is Naruto," he said without taking his hand away from Jiraiya. The man froze when he heard the name of the hero in the only book that he had ever written that was not in the icha icha series. The name that he had given to his male character, but this person before him was clearly a woman. She had a nice rack to prove it to. "And I am the son of Minato."

Jiraiya immediately backed away in despair. This beautiful woman was a boy. How was that even possible? That was when he sensed the very obvious signs of a transformation jutsu being performed. How had he missed that? Naruto returned to his normal form and Jiraiya pouted. He wanted to go back home now that he wasn't going to get to hang out with the pretty girl that he thought Naruto was, but he had already given his word and he never went back on his word.

Sasuke changed his mind again. It was pretty funny to see the perverted man's dejected face. In any other case he would have felt sorry for the man, but at this moment he felt that Jiraiya deserved it for the way he was looking at Naruto when he was in his female form.

"Let's go," Naruto smiled as he turned to leave Konoha with his team members on either side and Jiraiya trailing slowly behind him.
