A Naruto Fan Fiction
By: Climax
Last time I forgot to put disclaimer, so, I put an all chapter disclaimer so I don't have to write it again.
Disclaimer for all chapters: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO but other new characters I made up in this story, are totally mine.
Sorry if my story idea or characters is similar to someone's story, I don't know really! Because there are nearly six thousand Naruto fan-fiction in and it's impossible to read them all, right?

Scroll 4: Shopping Time?? Mind Switch?! OH NOOO!!!

A servant walked into his master's room. The house was old and Japanese styled. But the house was still as good as new. The servant kneeled before opened the slide door. "Danna (master), this is your lunch," she said.
No answer. The room was completely silent.
"Danna?" she asked. Then she pushed her courage to enter the room. She search and search but she couldn't find her master. She called the guards and the guards help her to search their master. But no one could find the master. So, they decided to search across the village but they still didn't find him. After a day, they decided one thing. Their master is missing.
"Nadeshiko! Nadeshiko! NADESHIKOOOOOO!!!" screamed a middle aged man.
"What is it? You don't need to scream, I can hear you," asked the said woman. Nadeshiko was taking a bath in a small hot spring. Of course the man had to speak outside the area.
"It's- it's…" stuttered the man. And Nadeshiko finished it.
"I know, that little brat is missing, right?"
The man gaped. "How can you…"
"I know from six days ago. It was surprising that the villagers found it now," answered the woman. "Then-"
"I'll find him and dragged his naughty ass back to the village. This is my yearly visit to Konoha anyway…" cut the woman. And the man heard a small explosive sound from the spring.
"Who are you going to inform?" asked the man.
"Those three triplets. They are in Konoha right now…"
Naruto was in Tsunade's office. He was waiting for Tsunade to show up. The reason he was here because he didn't know about what to do with Rhaera and Mayu. Surely the two kids didn't have any relative. He was told to wait because Tsunade had a business.
The office door opened, revealed a very pissed off Tsunade.
"What's with that sour face, Tsunade baa-chan (granny)?" asked Naruto, trying to get Tsunade's nerves out. Surprisingly, the said Hokage didn't give a damn about the nickname Naruto called. She was just like a ghost. Rather than walking, she looked like floating to her desk. And she maybe didn't notice that Naruto was there too. So, Naruto just gaped.
She slumped to her chair, mumbling something like: "Someone has to PAY" with a scary tone that Naruto more than sure with that tone she could make someone with steel mental will start to run away. Something BAD must be happened when she was on her business. Honestly, Naruto wanted to run away too. He rather deal with Itachi than face a very, very, and very pissed off Tsunade. At least, Itachi is not a sannin and would not kill him for now. But no, not without spoke his business here.
"Damn that thief," mumbled Tsunade again. This time it caught Naruto's attention. WHAT kind of THIEF that dare to steal something from a HOKAGE?? Naruto? Yes, he ever stole a forbidden scroll. But swear to gods, it was not him this time. An S-class missing nin? Yeah, maybe. But that thief better to start to run away FAR from Konoha now if he/she/them didn't want to die in the scary granny's hand.
Okay, sit here and do nothing, was not going to solve any problem. So, Naruto began to gain Tsunade's notice.
"Tsunade baa-chan?"
No answer. Except her mumbling about what she want to do to the thief if she ever found he/she/them. Naruto decided to ignore it than listening it. Maybe he would get nightmare if he listen to it.
"Tsunade baa-can?!" This time louder.
Still no respond.
Being a loud-mouthed idiot really didn't help him to be a patience person. Naruto went to Tsunade's right side and took a deeeeepp breath.
"TSUNADE OBAA-CHAAAAANNNNN (grandmother)!!!!" screamed Naruto right into her right ear that he sure the Hokage's ear would hear a ngiiiiingg sound. Tsunade nearly fell from her chair.
"WHAT IS IT??!!" screamed Tsunade so loud until her saliva was burst out and landed on Naruto's face. Then she stopped and her face softened a BIT. "Oh, Naruto. I didn't know that you are here." Disgusted, Naruto took a clean handkerchief that Mayu borrowed him earlier and wiped his face so many times until his face felt hot.
"Geez, baa-chan. You don't have to bath me with your saliva…" grumbled Naruto behind the soft fabric. 'Didn't know that you're here', what the FK!! I have been here for THIRTY MINUTES!! Man, I think Ero-sennin is right. She really IS getting old,thought Naruto dryly.
"So? What are you want with me? I don't have all day to you, you know," asked Tsunade.
"Neither do I," and Naruto began to speak his problem to Tsunade…
"Fuuhhh!! That was close!!" sighed a figure with beautiful, wavy brown hair and small body. She wore a short sleeves shirt with a fishnet vest and a skirt that more short than her knees. She was sitting on a big tree's branch not really far away from Hokage's office and was playing with two scrolls. No doubt they were the First's diary. Her hair was tied into two high ponytails and because her hair wasn't many, the ponytails didn't look thick like Ino's. But the ponytails didn't stop her for wearing a loose hood. So, her face was unknown to who didn't know.
"Don't feel relief, we still have a business after this," said a very similar to her voice. She had the same attire, only the color was red meanwhile the first one was pink and the skirt passed her knees. Her hair was the same shade only brighter.
"HEY! Can't I feel satisfied even for a one sweet moment?? I bet that Godaime Hokage (5th Hokage) is feeling so pissed right now!!" said the first girl so loud that she almost yelled. Suddenly, a new figure fell and landed on the same branch.
"I'll just tell you one thing: don't piss someone with 'kage' title especially a woman. Women can be scarier than men, you know." The new figure was a boy with short, wavy black hair and had the same attire except he wore a pair of shorts and his cloth's color was black. He didn't wear a hood, but a black kasa (if you confused, it is the one like Itachi and Kisame wears).
"OH, COME ON you two. Me, myself alone is greater than two sannin already," moaned the little girl in pink with a little 'I'm-the-best' tone in her voice. The others glare daggers at her.
"You can satisfy as much as you can when you can beat me or Wakaya aniki," said the girl in red as her finger pointed herself and then the boy.
"And what mother said about not underestimate anybody, Yuukako?" asked the boy named Wakaya. The girl in pink, named Yuukako pouted.
"Geez, why do you all ALWAYS such a horrible pain in ass? Especially you, Yuusako nee-chan," said Yuukako.
The girl named Yuusako just shrugged. "I can't help it. Because you self is a terrible pain in mind, too." Yuukako glared to her older sister's remark.
Wakaya felt that fortunately, he was the oldest of the three triplets. "Alright you two, stop arguing already. I have took care of the preparations so you two, must make Naruto and Sasuke sleep peacefully this night. I don't want to do all the jobs ALONE," commanded Wakaya to her two little sisters who suddenly felt guilty.
Yuukako saluted. "Right on my way, papa. Nee-chan! You take care Sasuke and I go to Naruto!" she said as she jumped and vanished from her two remaining siblings sight before the slightly older girl could protest.
"Lazy-bum," cursed Yuusako. Wakaya grinned.
"I think that the one you called stupid know how far it is from Konoha to Oto (Sound), hmm…hmm…" Wakaya kept nodding his head slightly. Yuusako hoped that her glare could torture this boy in front of her.
"Seal your mouth, aniki. Before I make you," threatened Yuusako before vanishing in the same way as Yuukako. Wakaya sighed.
"Girls now and then…" Then he shoved his hands into his shorts' pockets. But he quickly pulled out his hands because he felt things that weren't belong to his. He looked to his hands and he saw the two scrolls which Yuukako stole from the Fifth Hokage. Maybe the youngest of the triplets putted them to his pocket when she left. He didn't notice it. Maybe, Yuusako didn't too. That proved their mother's theory about 'don't underestimate someone even how weak he/she/them looked'.
"Guess I must say that theory to myself and Yuusako…"
He was about to leave when he saw Rhaera and Mayu was heading to a random food shop. He narrowed his eyes at the sight of them.
"They…" he mumbled. Then he shook his head. No. He had to be wrong. It's not HIM. He couldn't feel any strange presence. But still, he found the orange haired girl's presence was quite disturbing. He was more than knew the distinctive feature of people's chakra from 'that' place. But… what kind of reason for someone likes her to be here? Wasn't it forbidden to her to leave her village? Or… she came for that scrolls? Maybe mother was right when explaining that the two scrolls mustn't be read by any outsider. It was not the right time. To be exact, it was never the right time. But if she came for that scrolls, she should be the one who have them, not he or Yuukako. It was right that she wasn't any greater than them, but she still capable to do it and she was earlier here.
And the boy beside her… he wasn't totally blind. He could sense that his sight was sealed by something. But he didn't know if that thing was do on purpose or not. And the strange thing from that boy wasn't only his blindfolded eyes. It was his bow. No matter how simple and rusty it looked, no illusion could fool him. Other people yes, but not him. He would think that it was a mere bow if it wasn't resonating life sign that could only be seen by his villagers and the girl's villagers. But if that boy was with her, no wonder that the bow was given by her. But it wouldn't hurt to check, right?
He was about to 'test' his theory when he heard a loud shout from Hokage's Tower. It said (shouted), "No way!! No fking way!!" The villagers could more than guess that it was Naruto's shout. No one in Konoha could rival Naruto's loud voice except Iruka. He looked to the Hokage's Tower and then backed to the two kids, torn between curiosity and a determining feeling to prove his theory. Then he decided to head to the Hokage's Tower. Maybe Yuukako has cause a trouble again since she had the 'Naruto Part' job and she never could stay tight. With a sigh, he vanished to the Hokage's Tower.
"Good afternoon!! Welcome to our shop!! Can I help you?" asked a middle-aged lady. Mayu nodded. Her face was plastered with a cheerful smile.
"Yes! I need some wheat flour, pepper, salt…"
Rhaera waited Mayu to finish her shopping outside. He quickly learned to rely on his ear, nose, and sense to 'see'. It was 'remember' than 'learn'. The smell of vegetables, fruits, raw meat, and other foods was filling the air. No wonder, they were in a market zone. Then he smelled a strange but familiar smell. Then he felt sleepy…
"Rhaera nii-chan!! I'm finished!! Let's go to the meat shop!!" said Mayu cheerfully. Rhaera nodded. "Right."
Mayu felt that this was not the Rhaera she felt started from hospital but she ignored it. She knew the reason anyway. She turned and walked to the said meat shop, knowing that Rhaera would follow her.
'Rhaera' heard a rustled leaves sound. He turned to the tree Wakaya and the others used to be. He smirked a little devilish smirk.
"It looks like your investigating skill isn't improved much, Wakaya…"
"Rhaerea nii-chan!! What are you waiting for?? Come on! We must back before Naruto nii-chan back!!" yelled Mayu. She was five meters from Rhaera now. Rhaera snapped. He didn't remember what happened except a strange feeling of sleepiness and… emptiness. He must be has a little after effects from the painkillers he took from hospital to reduce his head and backache. Yes, it must be it.
"Rhaera nii-chaaannn!!! Did you hear me??" Mayu shouted as she stomped her feet to the ground below. She was getting impatience.
"Uh? Right," then he caught up Mayu to find a meat shop.
Mayu narrowed her eyes a little while Rhaera followed her. He has backed…
Sasuke panted harshly. He has trained himself nearly over limit. After his breath calmed down, he walked towards a big tree and sank down. He lied down on the fresh grass and felt the wind blow his face and bangs gently. Under a shaded tree after training was his favorite spot in Otogakure (Hidden Village of sound). It became his favorite spot because: one, it was very comfortable. Two, there was no Sakura and other girls that would nagging him in Oto. Because, Oto was a newborn village and there was rarely girls around his age. Three, no OROCHIMARU and his lackeys. The reason was; he had threatened Orochimaru to not to let his lackeys watch him after he finished his training back then. He did not really lying when he said he needs three things that all human want (privacy, freedom, and comfort) while he stays at Oto and wouldn't think two times to leave the village if his request wasn't accepted. But it looks like the second one wasn't really accepted.
He staid there until suddenly there was a loud thump from his right. He got up quickly and looked to the direction. There was an old woman with a brown horse. It looked like one of her pack had fell from her horse and she was getting trouble to lift it back to the horse. Sensed nothing dangerous from her, Sasuke carefully approached the woman.
"Can I help you?" asked Sasuke. No matter how many times Naruto said that he was a moody bastard, he was still couldn't let an old woman having a simple trouble. The woman startled and turned around. She was wearing a pair of oval shaped glasses. She eyed Sasuke curiously and smiled.
"Oh, yes please. Can you help me to bring this heavy pack back to the horse?" asked the old lady politely. Sasuke nodded.
"No problem." And he easily lifted the pack and tied it to the horse tightly. He checked the knot to make sure it was not loose enough to drop the pack again.
"All done," said him to the old woman. The old woman smiled warmly.
"Thanks a lot. You're such a good kid. I don't know what I must do if you aren't here…" said the old woman. Sasuke shook his head with his disagreement.
"No. I don't deserve to be called 'a good kid'," he said without lying. Yeah, following Orochimaru was more than enough to be called a bad kid. If Naruto was here, Sasuke didn't know if the loud-mouthed blond would laugh to him or protesting to the old woman.
"Oh? Maybe other people call you bad kid, but for me you are just a lost kind kid," she lowered her voice at the last part, made Sasuke didn't understand what she said.
"Huh?" questioned Sasuke out loud. The woman smiled again. Then she took a little bundle from her previous pack and gave it to Sasuke. "Here, it's filled with cookies and some fruit juices. Hope you like it," she said with a 'thanks-a-lot' smile. Sasuke didn't take the pack but eyed the old woman.
"I can't take that," said Sasuke plainly. The woman raised her eyebrows.
"Why can't you?"
Sasuke looked to other direction to avoid the old woman's look. "Because; I don't deserve any payment from you. All I do is just lifted a pack back," he explained plainly.
"But that pack is so heavy!" complained the old woman. She couldn't let someone helped her without any payment.
"Not for me," shot Sasuke back. The woman sighed and placed her two hands on her hip. A motherly-scolding-stance.
"Listen kid, a person who got helped by someone, must pay that help back. No matter what's going on. If he/she/them not pays the help back, consciously or not, he/she/they will feel uneasy. AND," she added one more advice to Sasuke who was going to speak his opinion.
"Never feel that you don't deserve any shape of kindness. Because all humans -no- all living things deserve both kindness and hatefulness." Sasuke was taken aback by the old woman's wisdom.
"If you still feel aren't deserve enough, then I ask you one more help." Sasuke waited the woman to ask for help.
"Is this Wind country?" asked her. Sasuke would fell if he wasn't a calm boy.
"No. Totally no. This is Sound country and the Wind country is FAR at West," explained Sasuke. He said the word 'far' as clearly as possible. The old woman bent her head to her side.
"That's strange. I'm sure I have followed the map correctly from Wave country," she said as she took a map from her pocket and checked it. Sasuke noticed her fault and sighed in frustration.
"Ma'am, your map is UPSIDE down," he pointed.
"Oh, my! Well, I guess I'm getting old, am I?" she laughed embarrassedly. "Well then, I have to go," she said as she shoved the cookies and juices bundle to Sasuke. "Goodbye, kid! Make sure you eat the cookies and drink the fruit juices!! I bet you won't be sorry!!" and she vanished to the woods.
Sasuke sighed again and stared at the bundle. Suddenly, a large growl came from his stomach. Well, it was not so bad to receive payment from somebody, right? Sasuke walked back to the previous tree and sat at the ground. He opened the bundle and looked to it. His mouth went watery when he looked the contents.
There were animal shaped cookies, two chocolate muffins, one vanilla muffin, five sandwiches, orange juice, cold strawberry milk shake that placed in a thermos like place, and… one mini sized scroll? Sasuke took the very little scroll. It was so little that its usage was just for fortune telling or for a message that sent by a dove. Sasuke opened it the surprisingly long scroll and read what its content while his other hand took one of the muffins and brought it to his mouth. He munched the soft and delicious cake while his eyes were wandering to the scroll.
Random old woman's random message: You think that you are walking in the right path to your goal. But the truth is; you are distancing yourself from your goal. The things you are doing now is completely useless and just bring destruction for both of you and other people. But don't worry; the real training is going to begin soon. And you can solve your problem with the same way as a pair of parents and their child or a lost kid with a map or maybe a student with a hard logical problem. You just need to know one word to guide you to your goal. As long as you believe at your precious ones, you'll not lose.
PS: This is just my hobby to write 'though things', so don't need to mind it for now if you like. But I always believe you'll need these words someday. Keep it near you.
Sasuke swallowed the last bite of the muffin and stared at the note. It looks like that old woman knows more than to make delicious cakes. Oh well, many people said that the more old somebody, the more wisdom it becomes. Great exception for Orochimaru. Unknown by him, someone was watching him…
The old woman was watching him. She was standing behind a big tree. A satisfied smirk was on her face.
"Why do you wear that form? It is ugly, you know…" said someone behind her. The old woman didn't need to turn. She knew who is behind her.
"But it's nice being an old woman. You'll feel that you have authority for the young ones… you sometimes feel that too, right Tsubaki?" asked the old woman. Tsubaki grinned.
"Yeah yeah, but change back, please. I feel that I'm talking to a century year old ghost…" said Tsubaki lazily. The old woman puffed into smoke. After the smoke cleared, Yuusako was the one who stand in front of and faced Tsubaki. Her eyes still were still hidden behind her loose red hood.
"You forget that I'm 'dead' almost two hundreds years ago…" reminded Yuusako coldly. Tsubaki grumbled.
"Whatever… by the way, do you think that your plan gonna be a success?" asked Tsubaki.
"OF course it will! If not, I won't do it, will I?" asked Yuusako with a little resent tone.
"By the way, what did you put in those foods and drinks? I want those foods too if those aren't dangerous…" asked Tsubaki.
Yuusako mumbled something like: 'sweet toothed cat' before explaining, "Only some 'medicine' that will help him to have a very peaceful sleep this night…" she said with a smirk. "Just one bite or gulp will enough…" added her proudly.
"I doubt it's not for help him…"
"Yes it is..!"
"Mayuuu…! Aren't we finished already..?" whined a tired Rhaera. His face was hidden behind dozens of groceries and other things that called 'ingredients' he brought. Mayu didn't turn. Her eyes were busy to search something while her mouth answering.
"With food, yes we are. Just two last things…" said her.
"What's your mean by 'two last things'??" asked Rhaera again. He didn't know why but it seemed that he couldn't bring his anger to Mayu. Maybe it was because of the girl's innocent attitude.
Mayu abruptly stopped. She found what she was searching. "We are here!" she stated.
"What the heck?!" shouted Rhaera. From the up roared newly fabric smell, Rhaera guessed that they were in front of the place where the males hate most when they were shopping with the females. Guess what? It was; clothes seller area. It was rather market than area because there were so many stands at this road. This place was the last thing Rhaera wanted to go when he was shopping.
"Mayuuu..! Why we go to this place??" asked Rhaera. He was sounding like a tired husband who accompanying his wife to shop. Mayu gave him a weird look.
"Of course we want to get clothes! From the start, nii-chan missed our clothes and I don't change mine for a week!! If nii-chan doesn't believe me, smell your clothes!!" yelled Mayu angrily. Despite the large pile on his hands, Rhaera tried to smell his shoulder, seconds later…
"Yikes… it's reek…" said Rhaera with disgust.
"See what I mean?" asked Mayu. Rhaera, like it or not, had to follow Mayu to the cloth stores. Hopefully it wouldn't be long…
Several minutes later…
"Mayu, aren't we supposed to be going home now?" asked Rhaera. If the first pile was called 'dozens', this one was 'tons'.
"I said two last things, right? The first is done and now is the very last…" she said as she looked to a small piece of paper. It looks like the contents was one random shop's address.
"And what's that last thing?" asked Rhaera. "I feel nothing miss…" he added quickly.
Mayu stopped in front of a small building. The building was full of gel, shampoo, conditioner, and 'friends' smells plus hair dryer, scissors, and hair cutter sounds. You can guess what it is…
Rhaera groaned, "Mayu, don't tell me I have to…"
"…have a haircut," finished Mayu. "Nii-chan's hair is starting to get a mess…" explained Mayu before Rhaera could ask.
Of course you can tell how pissed off Rhaera. Growing hair until it reached your knees isn't something easy anyway. And Mayu easily said that he had to cut it? No way, not in his life.
"But, as my lack memory told me, I took it care carefully, right?? And I don't let it to be messy! I tied it into a neat braid, right??" informed Rhaera.
Mayu shot him a glare. "OF COURSE nii-chan does. But the problem is not that nii-chan takes care it or not, but how nii-chan LOOKED like with that nice girly hair on nii-chan's head! Nii-chan just needs a ribbon to be a perfect image of a girl!!"
That had to hit Rhaera hard. Judging from how wide he dropped his jaw. "You must be lying," he stated.
"Heck no! You can hold a survey and I'm sure nii-chan will get one hundred percent for a 'girl' title!!" shouted Mayu back.
Rhaera sighed. It was really not his day. But he would not give up. Deep in his mind, somehow he knew that if he cut his hair, he would get a bad life.
But it was too late for him. He already dragged by Mayu to the building. Inside, he met one of the scariest people in his life. An overly cheerful fashion consultant.
"Oh my! What a cute little girl!!" squealed the consultant. Of course, it was meant to Rhaera. It was surprisingly enough that she could see what was behind the pile of things Rhaera hold.
Mayu cleared her throat. "Sorry, ma'am but this 'cute-little-girl' is a he," she said that as she gave Rhaera an 'I'm-right' look. Of course, Rhaera couldn't see it since he wears a blindfold.
But that only made the consultant more and more excited. "Oh!! I've never seen such a pretty boy like him! Oohh..! I really wanted to dress him up! Hey little girl, if you let me dress him up as I please, I'll give you a free charge for him!"
This, lighten Mayu up. "Really??!"
The consultant nodded.
"All right! But can you make nii-chan more… boyish?"
"Nothing that I can't do about fashion and dress up," the consultant declared proudly.
While the two women were busy talking about what they would make Rhaera to, Rhaera carefully and silently sneaked out of the building. But before even one of his feet reached the door…
"All right!! It's decided!!" yelled the consultant and Mayu at the same time.
Rhaera wanted to scream for help so much but his neck already seized by one of the consultant's arms (with an amazing speed that could rival Itachi's) before he had the chance to open his mouth. The consultant dragged Rhaera to her 'special room', completely ignoring the boy's gasps of chocked breath. Meanwhile Mayu just waved her right hand as if Rhaera was going to a long trip.
With a last long shout from Rhaera, "HEELLLPPP!! I'M GOING TO BE RAPED!!!" they were missing to the room. Seconds later…
"Aarrghh! Stop it! It hurts!"
"Shut up and don't move!"
"OUCH!! Can you be gentler??!"
The people outside the room were blushing. Of course they got a WRONG perverted idea. Actually inside, the consultant was brushing Rhaera's long hair before cut it. a/n: ; I know it's a bad joke
Minutes later…
"Noooo!!! I don't want to get out!!"
"WHY? You looked so pretty! I don't see a reason to not to be looked by people!"
"Because you said that- I have!!"
"All right, you looked so handsome!"
After that shout, Rhaera was pushed out of the room. Now, all people could see why the consultant said that Rhaera looked so pretty or handsome.
There, stood Rhaera with his appearance changed greatly. He was more… masculine. His used to be long green hair was short now. The cut style was almost similar to Sasuke. Only that his hair was less spiky -1-. His cloths were a dark green tank top with high neck, a long light green scarf that reached the ground, and a pair of long as knees shorts with black color. His shoes were ninja styled (the one that Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, etc wore) but it was longer so it looked like boots a little. EVERYBODY (Mayu was not exception) was entranced at the sight.
Mayu wouldn't recognized him if he wasn't wearing his blindfold. The blindfold was a bit messy. No doubt the consultant had tried to pry it off from Rhaera. Rhaera blushed. Even he couldn't see, he could feel the stare the people were giving him.
"Don't stare at me! I'm not a store mannequin!!" yelled Rhaera. But people were too entranced by him. Especially young females.
"How was it? I know I'm great!!" said the consultant proudly.
"Yes," Mayu breathed. "you are." After that, Mayu quickly went in front of Rhaera and hold his slim hands with her small hands.
"Nii-chan!! Let me be your number one fans!!" she said with glittering effect on her eyes. Rhaera sweat-dropped. All this time (she told) she was with him was a futile attempt to 'wake' his 'handsome side'? That was more than surprising…
"Tsunade baa-chan, there is no way that the two MUST live with me!" protested Naruto.
"Yes there is!!" yelled Tsunade back. "Because, my head is aching terribly now and I don't have time to think for another matter!!!"
"What kind of Hokage are you?? A Hokage is supposed to help his/her villagers!!" shouted Naruto.
"YES! But not EVERY problem!! Now, OUT!!" with that, Naruto was thrown out from the office by Tsunade's kick. Gai, who was just came back from his mission and was going to enter the Hokage's office to have another mission, was suddenly knocked down to the floor because Naruto hit him.
"Ow…" groaned Gai.
"Geez… I should know that I mustn't talk to her when she was pissed off."
Wakaya sighed in relief. So it was not Yuukako. He was watching the arguments from another building top. He decided to go down before any of the ANBUs suspecting him. Suddenly, he heard something barked from his behind. He turned and found a cute little puppy holding a branch in its mouth.
"Sorry little dog, but I don't have any time to play with you," said Wakaya warmly. But the puppy stare him with a pair of large eyes that no one could resist them. Wakaya sighed.
"All right. But just one time okay?" said Wakaya in defeat. The dog barked happily and wiggled its tail. But just when he took the branch…
Poof!! It turned to a makimono (ninja scroll). Surprised, he took the scroll and read it.
"Oh, gods… 'he' do it again…"
"I'm home," Naruto said that more to him self. He knew there was no one to greet him in his home. But that was what he thought until he smelled something very delicious. It must be the smell of ramen. Yes, he knew it. He 'floated' to the kitchen and saw Mayu was cooking something.
"Oh? Naruto nii-chan is home?" asked Mayu as her head turned from the stove. But she found no answer. Only found a drooling to dehydration Naruto.
"Is… that… are… ramen?" Naruto managed to say through his watery mouth. Mayu nodded. Not until a second, he was dancing around the kitchen, made Mayu sweat-dropped.
It was not very long until he hit something and fell over. When he opened his eyes, he looked to… Sasuke?
"Sasuke?" he asked. Just then his vision cleared and found the totally changed Rhaera.
"No, I'm not. Are you okay? Sorry to hit you," said Rhaera surprisingly WITH a tone.
"Yeah, I'm okay," answered Naruto. "Oh, well then," Rhaera said as he pulled Naruto's hand to help him to stand up. Naruto gaped. If amnesia could change someone that is plain or a bastard to this caring person, he wouldn't think twice to do it to Sasuke. Surely no one would mind it. Yeah, no one.
When the dinner was ready, Naruto quickly took his ramen and ate it. It was so delicious!! Even more delicious than Ichiraku's! Maybe having a guest in his house wouldn't be so bad…
Sasuke slept peacefully this night. No nightmares, no pain. Nothing wrong. Naruto in the same position too. But unknown by them, something bad was approaching them…
"Ready?" asked Wakaya.
"Anytime!" answered Yuukako while Yuusako only nodded.
The three perform various hand seals. After a while… "Hijutsu (secret technique)!! Mind switch!!"
Sasuke woke up. He felt so refreshed. He moved his hand to rub his eyes. Suddenly, he stopped. He touched his cheeks, feeling another hair on it.
What the-?!
Now he looked to his hands. Since WHEN did he wear something ORANGE??
This is not MY clothes!
And his skin…
This is not my skin!!
Meanwhile, Naruto…
Naruto snuggled to his pillow. He never knew that his bed could be so comfortable. And the pillow, hmm… it was filled with fragrant smell. Wait a minute. FRAGANT?? As long as his memory served him, he has never-ever been able to buy a fragrant smelled detergent for his pillowcase! Forget to buy, he even rarely wash it! So, why?
Naruto got up quickly. Then he felt that long bangs brushing his cheeks. He may have long bangs to, but not this long. He touched his hair. His hair weren't spiky!! And he took a look to the long bangs. The color is BLACK??
This is not MY hair!!
He touched his cheeks. No whiskers.
This is DE-FI-NI-TE-LY not my cheeks!!
At the same time, the two boys walk towards the mirror shakily.
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
Long shout erupted from Konoha and Oto that morning, made all people that were sleeping wake up and the 'just got ups' wondering who the heck that cause such a loud noise.
At the same time, the three triplets…
"YEAH! We did it!!" yelled and jumped Yuukako in joy. The other two remained calm and sit on the ground in exhaust. That technique requires lots of energy. How could Yuukako able to jump around when they were nearly empty of chakra? But their joy was not long.
" 'We did' what?" asked a very similar voice to them. Yuukako stopped dancing around. The other two freeze and stopped panting.
They turned and found the person that they had put their respect most and the animal they knew most. Their mother, with Tsubaki stood behind her, grinning evilly.
"Oh, no," groaned Yuukako.
