The first one to know about Naru's predicament was Sakura and Tsunade.
The Hokage was teaching her student of a new technique one day and Naru suddenly popped out of nowhere. She told them of her story. Sakura and her teacher laughed at her. They thought that she was joking but she wasn't.
Ever since that day Tsunade and Sakura helped her to become more of a lady than the man she really is. Almost everyday it had been Sakura's routine to go to her house and do things for her. Naru liked it. Sakura was being nice and she might have developed feelings for her.
But of course not at that moment, for she was a girl.
Anyway one day Naru was training with Team 7, by that time they all got used to her being a girl. At that day Sasuke noticed something red at Naru's behind and told it to her. Naru panicked and thought she was going to die. Good thing that Sakura was there and told her to calm down. Actually Sakura was also astonished seeing that she really changed her gender not only on the appearance…
Later that day Naru found out what menstruation is.
And that wasn't the last thing that Sakura taught about being a girl.
...ooooooooooooooooooo...
Sakura was a lot nicer to her now and got her things needed by girls. She educated her about how to be a girl. Naru didn't want to accept at first for she knew that she would someday become a man again. And that time has come.
"Hey Sakura-chan I got the potion!" Naruto said triumphantly.
"What are you doing?" Sakura said her hands on her hips, holding a whisk. "I thought I said four o'clock sharp. Cookies don't cook themselves you know!"
"But Sakura-chan I got the potion that would bring me back to being Naruto again!" Naru said.
Sakura face saddened a bit which was oblivious to Naru.
Then Naru got into the living room and sat there for awhile placing the potion in the table. She looked at it carefully.
"So…You're going back to normal…"Sakura said. "Why don't you drink it now?"
"Okay then!" Naru said she then gulped it down with all excitement.
She finished the whole flask but nothing happened.
Sakura looked at her sheepishly. "Ha! You're not turning into a boy! You're still a girl!"
"Just you wait and see!" Naru said but after a few minutes she was still a girl.
"I'm going to bake cookies already. Come on, I'll teach you." Sakura offered.
"No thanks when I'm a man again I won't need that." Naruto said.
"Well that's not what you said when I taught you how to use a pad." Sakura said trying to smirk then she went to the kitchen.
"Haha very funny." Naru waited and waited to transform back again. She then lay down the floor.
After some time Sakura emerged from the kitchen. And there came black smoke.
"What the hell did you do?" Naru exclaimed. "Are you trying to set my house on fire?"
"Sorry I set the temperature too high." Sakura apologized and then she remembered something. "Hey didn't I tell you to be more lady-like when you're talking, Naru-neechan."
"How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not a lady and we're not freaking sisters!" Naru whined. "Forehead girl…"
"What did you say?" Sakura's forehead was more protruding and her eyes were burning in anger. She clenched her fists and neared it to Naru's face. "I swear if you're not a girl right now I'd smack you right in the face."
Naru cowered and nodded.
"Good." Sakura said. "Now shall we go and finish baking our cookies?"
Then the oven exploded.
They managed to get out before they caught fire.
"Ooops." Sakura muttered, and then she ran away fast.
Naru stared at the fire. "My apartment!" She shrieked.
Then from the debris of the explosion, some of her neighbors came to. They quickly formed an angry mob and hunted Naru down for the rest of the day.
...ooooooooooooooooooo...
Sakura came in barging in her house. She shut the door, fast.
Her mother heard the loud bang and shouted from the kitchen, "Sakura dear don't do that! Now get in here and help me cook dinner!"
"I'm sorry mom I've got an assignment to do for the Hokage!" Sakura yelled.
"Okay then." Her mother said.
"What!" Sakura asked.
"I said okay!"
Then Sakura got into her room.
She lied about the assignment. She actually has nothing to do.
She fiddled with her hair and wrote Sasuke's name on a notepad over and over again.
She also thought of Naru. She really liked Naruto being a girl. They get along much better that way, plus she's got a sister. And she really likes to have a sibling because she has none.
She was aware about Naruto's feelings for her, but now that she's Naru she wouldn't do anything about it because they're both girls.
Sakura thought that now that Naruto was out of her way and Lee, too maybe she and Sasuke can end up together. She drew a smiley face on her notepad and a heart on Sasuke's name. Then she thought of what happened to Naru now that her apartment was burned. She thought that Naru's potion must not have work.
Sakura got an idea. Maybe she can move in with her and her mother.
...ooooooooooooooooooo...
The next morning came…
Hinata looked at the sleeping form of Naru outside the office of the Hokage.
She looked at her rather sadly. Was this really Naruto? She asked that same question every time she had the chance to glance at Naru.
All her hope in finding happiness together with Naruto vanished when Kiba announced it at one of their training sessions. After she said that she couldn't believe him but when Kurenai came and told her the truth she fainted.
It was a sign. She should forget about him, about Naruto.
Months have passed. The endless trainings and the missions did help her get over him. But Hinata still couldn't deny the fact that when she sees Naru she still thinks of Naruto.
Anyway Hinata came here today for a reason. She has an important mission that the Hokage had planned for her and whoever her teammates would be this time.
She knocked at the office of the Hokage. She tried to open it but it was locked. Perhaps she was too early, she thought.
Then Naru slowly opened her eyes. She saw Hinata who was standing right in front of the office.
"Hey Hinata-chan…" She said sleepily.
"Hi Naru." Hinata said not stuttering this time but you can still see some hint of pink in her face.
"What are you doing here?" Naru asked her long blonde hair messy.
"The Hokage has a mission for me and some other teammates." Hinata answered. "How about you?"
"Oh me." Naru grinned, at this Hinata blushed. "My apartment got burnt down by Sakura. She was making cookies."
"Oh my… Is Sakura okay?" Hinata looked at her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?"
Hinata was surprised at what she did. But then again she didn't care anymore, Naruto was Naru now.
"Yeah I'm okay… But what really bugs me is that this potion this nerd gave me doesn't work!" Naru said. "I'm supposed to turn back to normal by now. I can't believe I got tricked by a dirty little fanboy!"
"F-Fanboy?" Hinata mentally pictured Lee holding a flag with Naru's face on it. "Maybe you should wait for it to have e-effect."
"I've waited for almost like forever but nothing happened. I can't believe I let him touch my boobs…"
Hinata squeeled not in happiness but because she had this feeling of indigestion and pity. "Poor Naru…" She thought aloud.
Naru then got to her feet. Tenten then came.
"Hi guys!" Tenten said cheerfully.
"Hey Ten!" Naru smiled at her.
"Good Morning." Said Hinata.
"So where's Tsunade-sama?" Tenten asked.
Tsunade then came with Shizune. "You three sure are early…"
"It's not that they are early, it's because we're late Tsunade-sama." Shizune said.
"Okay whatever…" Tsunade said. She got the key to her office from Shizune and unlocked the door slowly.
"She has a hangover." Shizune said to the girls in a whisper.
When they all got inside, Tsunade made her way to her seat.
"So yeah Hinata and TenTen you're appointed to go with a mission with Sasuke and Kiba…" Tsunade started. "Where are those two?"
"I'm sorry to say that Kiba can't come, Tsunade-sama. He and Akamaru have fleas – I mean flu. T-They have fleas and flu. What I meant was flu!" Hinata stopped herself before she says anything else. She wasn't used in lying.
"Ha! Dog boy has fleas!" Naru laughed.
"Shut your mouth! My head is aching." Tsunade said.
Naru murmured, "Old lady drinking sake but can't handle it…"
"I'll just pretend I didn't hear that." There was a vein on her forehead. She massaged her temples. "You'll just have to do Uzumaki. You replace Inuzuka."
The Sasuke then knocked on the door and opened it. "I'm sorry I'm la –"
"Save your excuses just come in." Tsunade commanded and he did what he was told. "Now that you're all here, Shizune you explain to them what their mission is, okay? I'm going to just go to the restroom."
"Okay." Shizune nodded and with her clipboard she told them what their mission would be.
oooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
A/N: I know it's kind of weird that Naru/ Naruto would have a period but added for the sake of strange humor…
Anyway
that's all I'm saying about this…
Thanks for reading.
