Scroll 5: How To Get Our Body Back
--------------------------------------------------

"I know I can't trust that bitch!!" yelled Wakaya furiously.

"She is a CAT, aniki..." corrected Yuusako calmly. But it was evident in her eyes that she was furious too.

"So? What do we do now?" asked Yuukako. It seemed only her that didn't affected by anything. The other two shot a glare to her.

"What do we do now?? How can you say it as if you didn't get scolded by Hahaue (mother)!!" yelled Yuusako.

"I did get scolded," Yuukako admitted. "But not as bad as you two."

Unfortunately for the elder two, she was right. Because 'elder ones are always on charge of responsibility', they got the worse scold.

Wakaya sighed. "Of course we must get the two boys mind at the right control, right? But the problem is..."

"...how to do that," finished Yuusako. Yuukako stared at them.

"WHAT?? I thought you two know about that??" she asked.

"OF course we KNOW. But the problem is the condition. When we can switch their mind control back," said Yuusako. Of course, Yuukako confused.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

Wakaya answered her. "Well, you can say that we can switch their mind back under a special condition of nature. If we not--"

"If we not?" cut Yuukako.

"There's heavy consequence that I bet they won't like it..."

:-:-:-:-:-:

"So Nadeshiko, I thought we went to the Konoha. What in the heaven's name we are doing in Oto?" asked a man. "And what the hell are you doing in THAT form?" he added.

The beautiful woman he knew was taking a young eighteen aged boy form. The boy's hair was long with dark red color and the eyes were brown. She (or he?) looked to her assistance curiously.

"Do you forget that I always do this when I travel?" asked her. "And to answer your first question, we are going to pick up someone. Oh, and one thing. Call me Hayame when I take this form."

"All right, Na-- Hayame. And who or where is that someone?"

"Don't worry. He is here."

As if on cue, sounds of footsteps were heard. In not too long time, a black haired boy appeared. His face seemed in panic as all he could do was running without an evident destination. Hayame smiled. There was the 'someone'.

Sasuke (or Naruto?) stopped to catch his breath. This was the worst morning he ever had; worse than the aching after yesterday's training or the morning with Kakashi forced him to eat vegetables. This was the living day nightmare. To be wake up at a room in Oto, especially it was in Orochimaru's hideout, was something that none of the Konoha villagers want to experience. Except Sasuke, he admitted it. Well, it would be better if you have your OWN body.

After his breath calmed down, he noticed two elegant horses with a simple but elegant looking carriage on their back. Before he could do anything, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He turned around and found a handsome, red-haired teen, was smiling at him.

"Hey, want have a ride?"

Everyone in this SOMTUC (state-of-more-than-uncomfortable-condition), would never refuse.

:-:-:-:-:-:

Naruto (or Sasuke?) couldn't believe his eyes. Here, stood in front of a mirror, our oh-so-handsome Uchiha Sasuke was flabbergasted by the reflection that mirror reflected for him. His sharp obsidian eyes have turned into two light blue orbs. His black hair turned into blonde. Moreover, he has whiskers! In short, his 'beautiful' body has mutated into THAT IDIOT's body.

This was the worst nightmare he would ever dream if this was a dream. Unfortunately, this was not a dream. It was as real as the sun rise at the east and set at the west.

"Naruto nii-san? Is there something wrong? You looked pale..." asked Mayu who suddenly appeared behind him.

Oh yeah. Who wouldn't turn pale if your body were mutated into someone that you hate - I mean, more than hate? AND how the heck that idiot has a girl in his house? The main basic right of the humans is; a MALE and a FEMALE mustn't live under a same roof unless they are brother and sister or husband and wife or parents and child. And there was no way that Naruto could have a sister (who didn't hear about the lonely-troublemaker-blonde-idiot?) or wife (Naruto isn't the girls' type) or child (he was waaaay to young and to 'inexperienced' to -ehem- make a child and the girl looks like the SAME age) ESPECIALLY, parents (if he has parents, he would not be a troublemaker but an idiot, may be yes).

"Uhm... No-" but Sasuke was cut short by a flash of wind that grabbed him and brought him to an unknown place. Mayu barely had the chance to see what the hell was that wind. But she saw something blue and black for sure. But she decided not to worry.

"Maybe it is one of his new ninja skills..." said Mayu as she walked away from the bathroom's mirror.

At a place that was hideous...

Actually, Naruto couldn't believe that he was that fast. But he remembered, he was in Sasuke's body.

"Let me go, you total moron!!" snapped a Sasuke in Naruto's body when he stopped. "And give back my body! How the fucking hell did you do this??" he added. Man... Sasuke, in his own body or not, was the same bastard.

To complied at Sasuke's first demand, Naruto dropped the now blonde boy unceremoniously to the hard ground. And then he back yelled, "I should be the one who said that! You show-off bastard!! What are you doing in my precious body?!"

"What do you think why I asked before??" Sasuke challenged. He stared right into his own now Naruto's black eyes. And Naruto stared back. But Naruto didn't answer. They both stared into each other in silence.

Silence.

Silence..

Silence...

"Let's don't fight... for now..." said Naruto as he sat down on the ground.

"Agree. For now..." said Sasuke as he followed Naruto to sit down.

"So, bastard. Mind to tell me your first experience at waking up in my body?" asked Naruto half joked, half sarcastic.

Sasuke closed his eyes in a serious manner as if he was memorizing about something that was very important and bad at the same time. Finally, he opened his eyes and said, "Honestly, it was the most horrible thing that ever happened in my life time. Just as I remembered, I wake up on a foreign place, apartment, room, and bed that is messy and noodle smelled. But the worst of the worst is, I'm in a foreign body of the ultimate-idiot from Konohagakure..." Sasuke said in a monotone voice, without caring to pick more polite words.

Seriously, Sasuke DID have a sense of humor. But it was the bad one. And it was more than always hurting the listener when he cracked a joke. And that joke did it to Naruto.

Naruto's eyebrows twitched. But he decided to just answer it back. "Same in here. I have been dreaming about eating my eleventh bowls of ramen and my discomfort in a foreign body woke me up. Not until three seconds, I recognized that my hunch was right. I'm in the body of the magnificent-bastardsmart-assed Uchiha Sasuke."

This time, Sasuke was the one who had eyebrows-twitching-syndrome. "What are you trying to pull out, usuratonkachi (clumsy/idiot/dumbass; pick one)?"

"I'm just trying to make you recall that you are in the usuratonkachi's body and I'm in your beloved body." Naruto said it as he was the superior. Well, he couldn't help it. He was stuck in the bastard's body without doing anything meanwhile the snake sennin was working so hard to get into his position. If Orochimaru knows this fact, he must be terribly jealous and wouldn't hesitate--I mean, no one would be able to stop him from killing Naruto slowly and painfully.

Sasuke sighed. Naruto was right. If he wants to throw insults at the dead-last, he must out from the blonde's body and back to his body. Because he felt that he was insulting himself. And that was no comfortable.

"Naruto."

"Yes, bastard?"

"I hate it when you are right..." sighed Sasuke as he threw his face to the other side to avoid eye contact.

Naruto smirked. That made Sasuke wonder if that was his face when he threw insults and smirked. "Oh, Sasuke. You are too late to recognize that I'm always right."

"You are always right only when you are pointing where ramen shops are..." mocked Sasuke.

Naruto stared.

Sasuke back stared.

"Show-off." (this was Naruto)

"Idiot." (this was Sasuke)

"Bastard."

"Usuratonkachi."

"Stubborn ass."

"Dead-last."

"Pretty boy!"

"Loser!"

"Fucking smart ass!!"

"Dirty mouthed!!"

"Foolish Uchiwa!!" note: Uchiwa means fan

"Stupid Fish-cake!" note: Naruto means 'fish-cake'

Naruto lost idea and felt that something went wrong.

So was Sasuke.

"Sasuke?"

"Yes, dobe?"

"When did we get this childish?"

Silence.

"Haaahh..." they both sighed.

:-:-:-:-:-:

"That's about our plan. Do you get it?" asked Wakaya.

Both of his little sisters nodded. Their eyes were sure.

"But onii-san, is it all right to do it now? I mean, the special condition isn't now or soon..." wondered Yuukako.

"Do you think they want to wait thirty years long? I think not," answered Wakaya.

"But, how about the consequences?" asked Yuukako.

"Simple. Do not tell them the consequences when we switch their mind back. By the time they recognize it, we are already at the place where they couldn't reach us," answered Yuusako.

"That is both uncreative and good idea..." mumbled Yuukako. Yup, correct the mistake and run cowardly before the corrected ones could sense that the mistake wasn't corrected fully. How low and embarrassing Yuukako felt.

"I won't feel that we have done something bad to them. Yes, maybe we are. But think of it. That two boys have been fighting and one of them tried to kill the other one, right? At least, with the consequences, no one needs to worry for them to try killing each other again..." Yuusako explained in a matter of fact tone.

"Guess... you are right..." Yuukako gave up stop the plan.

Let's see what our beloved Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were doing...

"So? What are we supposed to do? Getting help?" asked Naruto.

Sasuke was going to answer when both of them felt some presence. They went into their fighting stance.

"Who goes there?? Show up!" commanded Sasuke.

The said someone showed up. But before they could let their eyes saw completely who was the 'someone', their eyes went blank and suddenly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Oniiiii-saaaannnnn..! Are we really going to do this?? I'm feeling so baaadd..!" whined Yuukako with a low voice but clear enough to be heard.

"It's fine if you don't want to do it. Maybe the undoing jutsu just become incomplete and their stuck like this forever..." Yuusako answered calmly as if it was nothing matter to her if the jutsu was incomplete. Wakaya sweat-dropped.

"Yuusako..."

Meanwhile, Yuukako was mumbling something like: "She is begging me to pity them..."

The bad news was Yuusako could hear what her little sister said. The good news was Yuukako's mumbling was not loud enough to be clear. "What? Can you repeat that?"

"I'm sorry, but what have done is done. I couldn't repeat it again..." Yuukako said this with Yuusako's tone.

Yuusako glared her sister with her best death glare. If Yuukako was a mere human, she might shiver in fear.

"What's that mean, Yuu-ka-ko?" Yuusako asked with the sweetest voice but the most dangerous tone.

"All right, stop it you two. If we don't do this quick and neat, we would face another problem," Wakaya stopped his little sisters fight just before they tried to strangle each other to death. They may look sweet and cute. But actually they were the most unstable and dangerous time bomb he ever faced. Just left them in a short time and the next minute you would find them pointing their weapons to each other. Of course; plus the fact they were in a battle stance.

"Sweet cutey problems always have their ways to find us..." mumbled Yuukako.

But every job has its own problems, right?

:-:-:-:-:-:

A blonde boy opened his eyelids. He felt as if he had run from Oto to Konoha or Konoha to Oto. His head was strangely filled with emptiness.

"What the-?" he asked himself as he observed his surroundings. He was in his own room and on his own bed. The sunlight was penetrating through the window. Just the usually plain morning in Konoha. No more; no less. But he felt as if there was something missing. And he just couldn't place his hands on it.

Finally, he decided to push his thought off from his head and exited his bed to have his usual morning train...

(Before that, some ramen wouldn't be hurt to have...)

:-:-:-:-:-:

A pair of eyelids fluttered open, revealing two beautiful obsidian orbs. The owner of the eyes sat up after regained his consciousness half fully. His eyes traced his surroundings. He was in the forest where he used to training.

I must be fallen asleep after training... he guessed as he didn't hesitate to yawn. His head felt strangely empty but his sleepy state made him not to worry about it.

:-:-:-:-:-:

"sigh It's fun to be home!" yelled Yuukako as she entered the last gate.

"Don't be so happy. We need to destroy the scrolls first, right?" Wakaya reminded her.

Yuukako's face perked up. "You are right!! Let's have fireworks!!"

Yuusako quickly threw glare to the younger girl. "Fireworks?" she asked half curious half threatening. If Yuukako said something about fireworks and its friends, things never went good.

"Ah! Sorry! I mean, explosives!" but Yuukako's correction couldn't make things more right.

"EXPLOSIVES?" now Yuusako's tone was complede-lutely (completely) threatening.

But, Wakaya had no time to stop the going to be fight. He was busy searching the scrolls through his bag and pockets. After he rechecked the last pocket, his face showed horror.

"Aniki, what's the matter?" asked Yuusako who caught his expression before she could start to chase the youngest.

"The scrolls..." Wakaya didn't need to finish his sentence. Yuusako already know what it means.

:-:-:-:-:-:

Dark. So dark. It was as if seeing almost impossible. The only source of light was a small candle. A person stood in front of the candle. His or her face was hidden by the darkness.

"How is it?" asked a tenor voice. Most likely from a teenage boy.

"We found the scrolls. Tough we didn't expect to be lying on some random place of some random woods..." answered a heavy voice.

"Then, did you find the location?" the first voice asked in a calm tone. But in his heart, he was fighting the urge to strangle the information from his spy or read the scrolls himself.

"Yes. But it's quite hard to reach it. Since one is ten thousand meters or more under the sea and the other is nearly at outer space. With our current technology, we can't reach either one of them..." explained the spy.

The spy's master sighed. The creator of he and his master's two targets must be a genius and had a very full of consideration brain to create such two hard to reach places. But then something struck him. Yes, how could the Shodai-sama wrote about those two places when it was impossible to reach it in now and then? There must be a trick or more.

"Well, then. You are dismissed. And for the scrolls, you can leave it either on my desk or my room," the master commanded.

The spy nodded and left the room, leaving his master some privacy to muse around about his plan.

Soon. Yes, soon. He will be able to get his revenge.

PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTE!

Sorry guys, to keep you waiting for a veeeeeerrrryyyy long time. I have a very important long period project and I have to pause the fic for one month or so. I decided to discontinue 'Hidden Spirits' and continued it on a new title in order to gain more reviews and make my brain working more smoothly. The reasons are: one; I really-really-really envied to those who got a lot of reviews (not that I hate them; just jealous, don't get the wrong idea). But like Gai said, no good result if there is no hard work. Two: I've a very strange writing style syndrome that if I think the prologue or the story is bad; there is 99.99 of possibility I'm going to lose my spirit to write. Three: I was waiting for further information about Konoha history and time line in Naruto. I don't like being out of the main plot, actually.

Anyway, thanks for those who kind enough to review. I hope you all will read and review for the next series of Hidden Spirits. Sayonara! (For now...)
