Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto, as you may have guessed.
A/N: Wow, I didn't expect to get anyone reading this shit yet, thanks for reading! Line breaks didn't export last time, so I apologize but I'll be using XxX now. Let me know who you want MC to be shipped with! Side-note, sorry for the long wait… I hope to be putting these out every two weeks, maybe weekly some days. I'm kind of a lazy writer :P Enjoy!

Subaru! What're you doing?! Get the fuck out of here, you fucking thug! You have no right being in a Patriarch's office unannounced!
Oi… Kaichou… Hands off Izumi's girl.
A young built man shoots a bullet directly into a stout one's head, a woman quivering next to the now dead one's corpse. More men show up, similarly dressed to the shooter, who promptly smash the back of his head with a metal bat. They beat him, though from the very beginning he showed no signs of movement. He died showing no fear.

Gasp. Gasp. "Fuck. I don't wanna remember that shit. I could've taken those guys anyways…"
The days went by, and every night seemed to be like this. Despite never considering it before, it appeared Subaru still felt some attachments to the past. It was early in his career, but his morals were thoroughly shook when his reality crumbled from a single stone being displaced. But that stone was all it took.
Right… Ninja shit again. Fuckin'... feels weird to be in the body of a kid sis' age. Hope she's doin' alright.
Subaru appeared unbothered by the radical change. He operated as normal, for he was Sakura, and she was him. The house he lived in, he thought was nice. Communication with the parents was a bit odd, but he was an oblivious man.
"Pops. Ma. Bye now."
"Good luck sweetie!"
"Yeah, good luck honey!"
These folks… they don't really do much huh? I'm a ninja or some shit ain't I? Shouldn't they be more… worried?
Subaru entered the academy classroom, just ever so slightly late, entering at the same time as the orange-clad boy he had beaten the snot out of recently. Despite this, the boy looked at him with beaming eyes.
"Hey! Guess what Sakura? Ever since you beat me, I decided to get way more serious about getting stronger! I'm even getting assigned to a team today like you, believe it!'
"What the fuck, you tryin' out catchphrases now? Is that a ninja thing? Anyway, good for you Narutoad. Get on a good team and get stronger."
"Y-Yeah!"
That kid… really infatuated with me huh? I feel bad for broads, man, they had to deal with this crap all the time. I shoulda been better back then. Shit's annyoing even if he ain't bein' a creep about it.
Subaru sighed, exasperated. One thing was for sure, despite his aloofness to the genderswapping; he sure as hell didn't enjoy the "female experience." Hell, guy was actually a wreck back when he was still "himself." His experience with the ladies didn't go past a few flings here and there with girls from the cabaret. Is that a regret of his?
Would it… be wrong if I still went for ladies in this life? I don't got the same equipment, but they make do don't they?
"Sakura! Don't zone out yet - you're on Team 7 with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka-sensei said with glee, hoping to see the light of youth gleam over his student's eyes. And it did! For… one of them. Guess… who…
"AWRIGHT! I KNEW I'D END UP ON A TEAM WITH SAKURA, BELIEVE IT!"
"Eh? Nice, I guess."
"Hn."
Ino, from the back sprinted with the determination of a cheetah on the prowl, preparing to pounce our nebulously gendered protagonist. She began to poke Saku-rabu's chest, the pupils far gone from her eyes. Or were they always like that?
"DON'T THINK THAT THIS MEANS YOU GOT HIM, FIVE-HEAD! SASUKE'S STILL MINE!"
Wha- no… don't tell me this kid had a crush on 'im before I took her place… Fuck. Well, I ain't dealin' with that shit.
"Huh? Keep em. I don't want the dude. Specially since we're on the same team now, it ain't professional to go 'round with your coworkers y'know?"
Ino recoiled, her mouth coming up to her face in shock. Her eyes started to swell, the burgeoning of tears forming at its sides, as she looked up to her friend with a smile. She relaxed, like a weight was lifted off her shoulders.
"Sakura… t-thank you…"
Before the confused Sakura could retort, Ino and her team had been swept up by their Jonin sensei, as well as the other group of three in the classroom. Ninja sure are punctual, huh!
Wuz that one of them female rivalries or somethin'? Well, that's good. It's the same as with the guys. Romance ain't worth it if it's ruinin' an equally valuable brother.
"Iruka-sensei, where's our sensei!"
"Quiet down Naruto, he's - ah. I'm sorry. You'll have to learn the hard way. Bye bye, I'm off to Ichirakus!"
"SENSEI, YOU TRAITOR!"
"Please… shut up, idiot."
"Eh? Blue finally speaks a full sentence. I was startin' to think he was a mute or somethin'. Ain't that right, Narutoad?"
Sasuke glared at the snickering gal, though she was too amused at her observation to notice. Naruto still stared at his desk dejected, the fleeting memories of the last ramen he had leaving his lips…
And so, this went on for the next few hours. Pink decided to lean back into her chair, snoring loudly. Blue put his head down, covering his ears, attempting to avoid the noise. And orange… Well, orange was restless. Naruto set up the classic eraser prank, but none of his teammates really had the time nor energy to notice. Even his attempts at trying to seek Sakura's approval didn't seem to work, not wanting to wake the sleeping giant. Sasuke couldn't have been more in pain however, his face was full of anguish.
But the… "quiet" scene was killed by the sound of a sliding door, in which what followed was the sound of an eraser hitting a head of poofy hair, the uproarious laughter of Naruto Uzumaki, and the confused proclamation of "THAT AIN'T MINE!" from a recently awoken Sakura.
"My first impression of all you… I hate you. Come meet me upstairs, where we'll get introductions out of the way."
XxX
So we finally gettin' to the real ninja shit huh? I think I woulda rather been a Samurai, but this is pretty kickass too I guess.
Subaru-ka went up the stairs to the building, walking ahead of the boys. Jolts of excitement could be felt radiating from him with every step up the stairs, his movements lacking any poise, awareness, or grace. 'Wait up Sakura!' and a particularly upset 'Hn' followed closely behind. The view from the rooftops was something extremely special. Luscious greenery surrounded Konoha, 'Leaf Village' never felt like a more appropriate moniker. Two of the three youngsters looked over the horizon with wonder in their eyes, with one being more content to just seat themselves a relative distance away from the man waiting for them there.
"Take a seat anywhere. Today… we're going to introduce ourselves. Tell me your likes and dislikes, as well as your goal. Who'd like to start us off?"
"Eh, shouldn't y-"
Naruto couldn't finish his complaint, lost to the surprise of Sakura suddenly turning to their sensei with arms wide, a huge grin on her face. With a yell that would certainly cause a sore throat the next day, she spoke:
"YOSHA! MY NAME IS SAKURA HARUNO! AND I'M GOING TO BE HOKAGE!"
FIN OF CHAPTER 2
So how's that for a plot hook? Heh, I apologize for the shorter chapter this time around, but I thought it was way too delicious to end it here. On the brightside, expect less than a week for chapter 3 to come out! I welcome any reviews and suggestions. Trust me, even though I may not reply I read them and I appreciate all of you. See you soon!
