Naruto sneezed from her seat in the Hokage's office, a blanket draped around her shoulders. Sarutobi hummed as he looked at the boy turned girl before shifting his gaze to Kakashi. "You trained them at the old Jusenkyo training grounds, did you?"
"It was on our way back." The Copy Ninja shrugged.
"Those training grounds were abandoned for a reason." He put his pipe in his mouth and leaned back. "Those grounds were used to train Genin back when the first Hokage was in office, but they were abandoned soon thereafter. Many Genin, and Ninja Companion Animals lost their lives in those pools, and those who fell into the pools that once took the life of others found themselves cursed."
"Cursed?" Sakura gasped from her spot between Naruto and Sasuke, keeping the Uchiha very far away from the newly turned girl. "Does that mean he'll be like this until he breaks the curse?"
The Hokage chuckled warmly. "Oh no, nothing like that. Naruto is not the first to be cursed, and I'm sure he won't be the last. In fact he's been cursed by the spring of a young female Genin who lost her life in that pool, when hes submerged in cold water he will be as he is now, but with hot water he should turn back."
"Thats all?" Naruto sighed. "Well, I guess it could be worse." She shrugged, pulling at her now long hair.
"You don't seem all that bothered Naruto." Sakura said, narrowing her eyes at the blonde girl.
Naruto shrugged again, giving Sakura a dry look. "Its really not all that different from my Sexy No Justu, I'm just shorter. To be honest I could change into a girl whenever I wanted before, now it just doesn't require any Chakra."
"You change into a girl often then?" Sasuke questioned.
Naruto glared at him and huffed. "Its nice to eat without getting glared at. Little sexy jutsu, different clothes, and some makeup and boom, I'm left alone." The other members of Team Seven shifted awkwardly at the thought of having to go that far for a simple meal.
Sarutobi stood and grabbed the tea kettle off his desk. "At the very least its inconvenient, but not unbearable. You will be fine." Walking up to the girl he poured the water over her head.
"Ow! Jiji you said hot, not boiling!" Naruto growled, turning back into a boy with little resistance.
The old Hokage simply laughed. "And if we do this," he grabbed a glass of water from his desk and threw it into Naruto's face.
"Will you stop that!" She screeched, coughing as some of the water made it into her nose.
"So there's really nothing you can do?" Sakura almost pleaded.
"Sakura," Kakashi chided. "The curse doesn't have any negative effects and Naruto isn't bothered. Leave it alone."
The pinkette pouted and gripped Sasuke's arm tighter while she eyed Naruto suspiciously.
"I can look into it, but truthfully no one who has been cursed similarly tried to break the curse, so there has been no research on it." Sarutobi offered, retaking his seat.
"Nah don't worry about it." Naruto shook her head before Sakura could say anything. "Like you said, there's no negative effects, if anything this curse will probably help on missions, like if we have to go under cover or something!"
"Hn, since when did you grow a brain?" Sasuke slighted, finally tearing his arm away from the pink haired menace.
Naruto fumed. "Since always Teme!" She hissed.
Sakura looked between them uneasily. "Are you really okay being half girl?"
The blonde nodded, her burst of anger simmering away. "Doesn't matter to me, women are just as good as men, so I'm going to Hokage one day either way! Dattebayo!"
