"Why can't I just be the body guard?" Naruto asked as he and Sakura made their way to his mansion. He had been going through his mansion more and had found several beautiful kimonos for him to wear while they were out. Sasuke and Kakashi were going to meet them at the gates later.

"Because," Sakura though fast, "You can't have a male bodyguard following a female around. How would he protect her if she went to the bathroom?"

"I guess," Naruto nodded. Sometimes Sakura thought that Naruto was a little too easy to fool, but then she always reminded herself that Naruto trusted very few people to get close enough to fool him so it didn't really matter. "I guess I can just use my Sexy no Jutsu anyway."

"No!" Sakura answered immediately.

"What?" Naruto asked. "Why not?"

"We don't know if our target has any abilities to see through jutsus like that. It would ruin the whole mission if you were caught using a jutsu to make you look like a girl." Not to mention the fact that Sasuke is so not attracted to Naruto's Sexy no Jutsu and if she allowed him to go like that it would be harder for her to get them together.

"Then what am I supposed to do?" Naruto frowned.

"Don't worry," Sakura smiled wickedly. "I'm going to use my magic to make you look like a girl."

And she did. Within ten minutes, she had separated the long strip of hair that Naruto had been letting grow out ever since they came back into time until they finished their mission into low pigtails while she let the rest of the short strands fly freely on their own. The long hair was down to his waist and the small pigtails rest easily against his shoulder as a contrast against his tan skin.

"Don't you think that this hairstyle is kind of weird?" Naruto asked as he looked at himself in the mirror.

"Nonsense," Sakura smiled. "Those crazy hairstyles are all the rage now-a-days."

"You don't have a hairstyle like this," Naruto pointed out even as he played with his pigtails.

"It wouldn't suit me," Sakura said flippantly, "but it looks really good on you. Now sit still and let me do your make up. Just to let you know, we're going to have to get rid of your scars." Which she wasn't really happy about. The whisker marks were part of what made Naruto look so cute in everyone's opinion, but it was also what point him out as Naruto Uzumaki all over the place. She would just have to show off everything else about Naruto to get Sasuke's attention.

The make up took about another 20 minutes to get done. She made sure not to put too much on, though. Naruto was much more attractive when he wasn't caked in make up. She only put enough on to make him look more feminine and to bring his bright blue eyes to the forefront. Then she and Naruto took 40 minutes packing the kimonos carefully so that they wouldn't get ruined. And last, but not least, Sakura helped Naruto pull on a pure whit kimono.

The kimono was beautiful. It was a plain white, but it made up for that with a lovely light blue ribbon tied around his waist. She made sure to pull the kimono up just enough that it looked like Naruto had boobs, but not enough to make it obvious that it was just the folds of the dress. This also made the shoulders of the kimono slip down his arms to reveal as much as his chest as possible without it being completely inappropriate. It also allowed Naruto's blue necklace, which wouldn't be recognized by anyone who didn't know Lady Tsunade or Naruto, to shine in the light.

"Why am I wearing this one?" Naruto asked.

"Because," Sakura smiled as she put the perfecting touches on the kimono. "You guys are supposed to be starting your honeymoon right after your wedding. This is your wedding kimono."

"Oh," Naruto blushed as he played with the sleeves nervously. "Do I look good?"

"Of course you do Naruto," Sakura smiled. "I'm sure that Sasuke won't be able to keep his eyes off of you."

"Yea because I look so weird," Naruto said, but his blush got brighter.

"It's time to go," Sakura said. "Come on." She had to get ready to go too.

Sasuke paced back and forth as he waited for Naruto to arrive. He knew that what he was getting ready to do wouldn't really mean anything when this whole mission was over, but it still made him really nervous. Questions that didn't even matter were going through his head. Would Naruto not accept it? Would he be disgusted? What if he didn't like it? It's just a mission, he kept telling himself angrily, get ahold of yourself.

"You're going to get dirt all over you shoes," Kakashi said. He was standing next to the carriage that was waiting to take them to their destination wearing a black suit; they didn't want anyone to know that the two of them were being protected by ninjas. He also wore a medical mask over his face and sunglasses.

"I don't care," Sasuke said, but he stopped and stood next to Kakashi in his own traditional dark blue Yukata.

"We're here!" Sakura called out to them as she walked over in her own black suit and sunglasses, though she was wearing the medical mask.

Sasuke couldn't help but stare as Naruto followed behind her. He looked like a female, but he still looked like himself at the same time. Sasuke would have to commend Sakura on her skills at a later time when Naruto wouldn't get offended by the comment. He did miss the cute whisker marks that adorned Naruto's face on a regular basis, but he agreed that they would be too recognizable.

"You look gorgeous," Sasuke blurted out before he could stop himself.

"Um," Naruto's blush got even darker, "thanks."

"I have something for you," Sasuke shook himself. He needed to do this now before he lost his nerve. He took out a small velvet box and handed it to Naruto.

"What is it?" Naruto asked even as he opened the box.

"It's your wedding ring," Sasuke responded. "It's a family heirloom and has been passed down through the Uchiha line for quite some time."

The ring was beautiful in its simplicity. It was a simple golden band with a single diamond placed in the center. But the main beauty was the carving on the inside. Forever and Always, it read.

"It's beautiful," Naruto said as he stared at it still inside the box. "You should really just give this to whoever you love."

"We want it to be realistic," Sakura said before anyone else could comment. "If it's a family heirloom than all of the family has to wear it."

"I guess that's true," Naruto nodded. He had to admit, though he would only do so to himself, that he really wanted to wear the ring himself. "I promise to be careful with it."

"Thank you," Sasuke smiled and he wasn't sure if he was talking to Naruto or Sakura. He plucked the ring from the box, slipped in on Naruto's ring finger, and then bent over to kiss it in a sign of affection that he would probably never show anyone else. Naruto's blush returned.
