Perfect illusion
-KizuPL
A/N: Okay, here is next chapter it's light and poems aren't too bad. I actually like them. Like earlier Naruto will be more mature - first inside and later outside.
Warning: OOC, little Sakura bashing, hints of shonen-ai but not completely. After all Naruto is a girl. If you don't like, then don't read.
Disclaimer: Go to first chapter. I don't think I'll put disclaimer in next chapters. Maybe if I'll think up a jutsu or something what'll mine (person, or item or something - I don't know it myself yet).
Summary: What if Naruto we know is just a disguise? Who is Naruto in reality? [Sasu/Naru] [Gaara/Naru] [Neji/Naru]
Special thanks to:
Akria Miyuki - I'm so happy you like it.
Alicia McClellan - Here is continuation.
siobhn01 - I'm glad you want to see what will happen next.
Akki - I didn't explain because I didn't have idea, but now I have and here it is. It may be not the best, but... But I'm happy you still like it.
vixenuchiha - I'm happy you're not dead. And like you see I didn't stop. But...
IMPORTANT!!!!!And now I have very importantant thing to say: My school is over and at vacations I won't write anything new, because I'm lazy. But from new year I will continue this fic. I'm really sorry, but I need relax. I'm leavung for one month to Rumunia, then I'm going to my father and I don't think I will have time to type text to computer, so...
Important: Well... This is my second story and it's different from my previous one. In this story members of Team 7 are 15 years old. Again it's somehow Naruto POV, but later I can change it. I'm not very good in writing in English, but I hope you will understand my story. If I made any mistakes please don't blame me too much. Please review, I would be very happy even if it would be an abuse. And I don't think it'll be in next chapter. I'm too lazy.
Chapter 2: Journey
"Very good Naru-chan." Temari told me all girls call other girls (if they like them) with suffix '-chan'. " You would make a perfect girl. Just like me." I know. I mean, after one week of living with her you can learn to act like a real girl.
The time I spend with her was the best I ever had
She is a lot like me - if I told her that it would make her mad
Actually, she isn't so bad like Sakura or Ino. She's quite cool. Aside from behaving like girl she has taught me few wind jutsus. She said herself that I'm behaving like a real girl. That was after we were bathing (she's not ashamed in front of me. I'm not sure, but I think it's maybe because she's not a virgin - she said that by herself) and than Kankurou came in. And what have I done? I screamed 'PERVERT!!!!' and slapped him in face.
After that incident Temari (I call her Tem-chan or Temari-chan) she had bought me Miso Ramen. My behaviour lessons are complete now and I'm acting like I should.
And she has told me why we need a girl in team. In Suna-gakure there is a special exam. In this exam only girls can participate. It's exam of behaving like a real girl, so no one could tell that you are a kunoichi. You have to act like a normal girl, so you can gather information's. And you have to know how to seduce someone who can have information's you're looking for.
In other words this exam can pass only those who can be a spy. I'm sure Tsunade is regretting her decision now, but it's too late to change anything. And thanks to Temari I'll pass it with flying colors... Although I'm not sure about seducing thing. Temari only told me how to do it, but she didn't let me try to seduce someone. But she said that I'll do it, so I won't worry about it. In worst case I'll just fail it.
She really has taught me a lot
And because I know her I'm glad
Thanks to her I have a new mask
A mask of normal girl if you ask
"Thanks Tem-chan." I know she wants to say something.
"Now when no one can tell that you are not a girl, we'll get ready for loooooong trip." Hm... To Wind country?
"Ano sa, ano sa. What kind of trip? Where are we going?" Around her I don't have to pretend I'm total fool, but still she doesn't know how smart I am. Maybe soon I'll show her that. But it's a very big maybe.
"We're going to Wind Country, baka." Baka... Almost everyone call me that.
"HEY! I'm not stupid, Temari-chan! Don't be mean!" I don't know why but I found it's funny when all people call me that.
"OK, OK. I'm sorry Naru-chan. Come on! We have to meet with Gaara and others." Oh, yeah.
"But I'm not ready! I've to get my stuff!" Well, that's true. She stops, gives me a bag and she smirks.
"Oh, don't worry. Your Hokage have brought you your things Naru-chan. Those things." She said pointing at bag in my hands. I make a face
"But this bag isn't mine! You don't mean--"
"Exactly. Those are yours stuff." That means I won't have any of my stuff. Great... I sigh.
"Can I at least see what I have?" I give her my best puppy eyes.
"Okay, okay. By the way, your puppy eyes are better and better. If it goes this way, no one will be able to resist. Even Gaara." I put the bag on ground and smile.
"Aww. Cut it out. You're exaggerating! NO WAY!!!" I've just opened my bag. Temari curiously look at what I've inside and we both look at each other, than at bag, at each other and gape.
"Wow." Temari break us from our momentary petrified state. "Nice stuff you got." Nice?
The weapons are new and good - I can say by looking at them. The clothes aren't too girly - they're not pink (although there are skirts and dresses, but they are in nice colors and size). Cosmetics - I don't think I'll be using them aside soap and toothpaste. There is sleeping bag, pillow, some scrolls (hmm... Interesting. Maybe there are some powerful techniques?), shuriken holster, explosive notes, even food. And it's light. Man, Tsunade must really like me. Or regret her choice.
"Yeah. Anyway we should get going. We don't want to be late, ne?" She nods and we quickly make our way too meeting place.
We're here. Hm... It looks like no on--
Wait. There is someone. I just can't tell exactly but I think it's... Hm... Neji, Gaara, Sasuke and Kankurou. And Shino.
"Oi. It's us. Don't hide--." Temari was interrupted by
"Yahoo! We did it Akamaru! We're here before Naruto! C'mon Lee!" Kiba. And Lee.
Wait. Before me?!
"Temari... Where is Uzumaki? And who is this." It's Gaara... Can't he sense me?!
"It's Naru. And it's not 'Uzumaki'. Now it's Mizu." Thanks.
"Mizu?"
"It's a name Hokage gave him--"
"Him?" Gaara... don't say you can't tell it's me...
Wait. Temari said that Tsunade did something - some chakra inflation - so no one could tell I'm in reality Uzumaki Naruto. I didn't thought this thing work so well...
"Okay. I'll say it once. This girl next to me is Uzumaki Naruto in henge. He'll stay in this form until he came back. And from now on you have to call him Naru, or Mizu. Now" She say looking at me " Say hi Naru-chan."
"Cut it." I say.
"Bwahahaha! Naru! Bwahahahaha! Naruto, you really look like a girl! Say, do you have a boyfriend?! Bwahahahahaha! I knew you're a crossdreser!" Looks, like I have to act again. Oh, I see Temari will do the same thing as I. "OUCH!!!!" I bet it did hurt. Rule number one: Never ever laugh at girl, because she can be really dangerous.
"Now, now, Inuzuka boy, be nice." He growl a little, but shut up. He doesn't want another hit.
"Guys, come out." I call and now I can see them all. Temari smile to herself and say
"Okay. We'll divide into two groups. One: Me, Uchiha, Fuzzy eyebrows--" I said that's how I call Lee.
"HEY!!!" He's angry.
"you" she point at Kiba "and you" she points at Shino. That sucks! I can't be with my only friend?
"What?! Tem-chan! Why not with me?!" She smiles apologetically
"Sorry. It was Gaara choice." I glare at him furiously, but he seems unfazed. It's not how I have imagined it, but it's not so bad either. My team has strong people too... But it would be suspicious if I would gave up without complains.
"...I get it. So it means you leave me - an innocent girl - to: Neji who doesn't like me, your younger brother Gaara who wanted to kill me, your other brother Kankurou who is a pervert--"
"Hey! I'm not! It was an accident! And you're a boy after all!" Shut up Kankurou.
"But in girl body, damn it!" I'm a girl. And you are a pervert.
"Hey, it won't be so bad. They're my brothers and I live. You'll handle them."
"Geez, thanks a lot. It won't be so bad with two psychos and pervert? Yeah, right." I murmur quietly to Temari. She smirks but then wipes it out.
"Cut it. Well. It's almost time. We'll see you at Suna-gakure." She disappears. And with her the rest of her team. Before Sasuke disappears he smirk at me. It means he wish me luck. I'll need it. We all are quiet. It's disturbing. They're looking at me and it gets on my nerves. I'm used to stares with hatred or despise. But not to those. I think I have to do something about them. I turn quickly and snap at them
"Would you stop staring at me?!" Kankurou and Neji look away, but not Gaara. "Gaara, quit it!"
"No." Simple answer that would make my blood boils if I were whom I'm outside. I just murmur some curses quietly.
"Umm... So... Are we going?" I ask. I hope when we'll be walking he/they won't stare at me.
"Yes." Thank you Gaara.
"So? Who's leading the way?" I think I know.
"Kankurou." He's so easy to predict. And he really needs to talk more.
"OK. Kankurou lead the way!" We're coming. It's quiet and atmosphere isn't the nicest. So I start talking "We've to get there quickly! I hope you guys have ramen there. I love ramen. Especially Miso ramen! It's delicious. But from the other side I don't have to look at Sasuke-teme. I mean, he really annoy me to no end. All girls think he's so smart, cool and unbeatable and I'm sick of it! One day I'm going to show him who is the best ninja in the world!" I ramble until...
"Uzumaki shut the hell up." It's Neji. But like Temari said, until they call me 'Uzumaki' or 'Naruto' I won't react. I'm on mission after all
"When we'll get there I'll show all of them how great shinobi - I mean kunoichi - I am!"
"Uzumaki Naruto. Shut. Up." Oh... I think he's mad. I wonder why? (1)
"And than I'll--"
CRACK
That hit was easy to predict too. And it didn't even hurt a little bit. I think I'll just act like Naruto they know.
"WHY IN THE FUCKING HELL YOU'VE DONE THIS, YOU FUCKER???!!!!!" Like I said earlier it didn't hurt, but it's funny to act like a fool.
"It's your fault Uzumaki. I've said few times: Shut up." You did. But...
"Yeah. But if you forgot I'm not Uzumaki Naruto but Mizu Naru for Christ sake! I'm not supposed to react for other names! It's my job you idiot!!!!" That should do it.
"Hm. I guess you're right." Psycho.
"Fucker. To hit a girl." I growl massaging my head
"You're not a girl... Mizu." Gaara I AM a girl. But you just don't know it.
"I know! But you have to pretend I am a girl! Is it so hard to understand?!" Heh, the look on Kankurou face is hilarious. It's because I'm acting like Temari. And I know that the person that Kankurou is afraid the most - even more than Gaara - is Temari. Sometimes she can be a bitch.
"Uz--Mizu, calm yourself down." That's the longest sentence Gaara said today.
"Under one, no, two conditions." They all look at me "First: You all will call me Mizu or Naru." They nod "And second: You're treating me like a girl!" They don't nod. Only Kankurou does. After couple of minutes Neji nod to, but I don't like that strange gleam in his eyes. What has he in his mind?
Never mind.
"Gaara. I'm waiting." He says nothing. "Will you treat me like a girl?"
"No." Okay. If I were 'Naruto' I would be mad. But I know he's thinking about something.
"WHAT?! But you have to! I mean--"
"I'll treat you like I treated... Anjia." I do not know why but I do not like this statement. Maybe it's because Kankurou's face gone white? (2)
I don't like it at all.
"Umm... And who was this - if I remember correctly - Anjia?" Okay, by face of Kankurou I don't think it's something good.
"She was what you would call a... girlfriend." Okay, I must admit. I haven't seen this one coming. After all it's Gaara we're talking about.
But... I highly doubt it was with agreement of both of them. By the look on Kankurou face I don't think that girl is still alive.
"NO FUCKING WAY! YOU HAD A GIRLFRIEND?!" That's how I'm supposed to react. But what I wanted to say was: 'Why did you kill her?' and 'What have you done to her?', or something along that line.
The fact that he will treat me like her doesn't suit me.
"..."
"That's not a reply Gaara! Was she cute? Where is she now?" I know this answer "Why did you guys break up? How did she look like? How did you me--"
"Be quiet. Kankurou may answer you for some questions."
"She had blond hairs, nice figure, light blue eyes and she was quiet nice." Just like I thought. Was...
Wait. That description... It fits me perfectly...
"Why does her look resemble Naru?" Thanks Neji. I wanted to ask this question too.
"None of your business Hyuuga."
"Nani?" Now they glare at themselves furiously. If look could kill they both would be long dead.
I just have a nasty feeling I do know why that Anjia-girl had resembled me so much.
Gaara like 'me'. A lot. If he's able to I would say he's in love with one of my masks.
"Umm... Guys?" They ignore me. I can see sand is getting near and near Neji. "Both of you! Cut it!" I'm going to slap their heads. I'm sure sand will attack me, but...
Nothing happened. They stopped glaring at each other. Sand has simply grabbed me by my hands. Both. And it still holds me.
"Umm... Gaara? Would you let go of me?"
"Hn." That's all he said but the sand let me free. He walks past me and it sends chills down my spine. He walks beside Kankurou and I can see his worried glance.
"Naru, stay away from him." Neji...
Is it just me, or they both... feel something to Naruto they know?
Again...
Those stares...
Gaara...
And Neji...
I think I know what they feel forward me
Or at least I know for sure they want me
I see the way they look at me when no one see
And in those stares I feel lust and desire
