Chapter Two

Disclaimer

I don't own Naruto nor any character connected. Someone else does.

A/N

I want to thank "clockright" for we are collaborated on many ideas for this story.

In this chapter I plan for Ibiki Morino to make an appearance. From there the story will write itself using ideas me and my collaborator came up with. I am also doing a ton of research on the subject to try to keep thing real. I hoping I am doing a decent job at it.

This chapter should not be as heavy as last chapter since I won't be describing what happened quite graphically anymore. However I must warn you this might not be for the faint of heart.

Now on with the story

Ibiki Morino rarely likes going to the Hospital when Lady Tsunade calls. Each time he is called means there high profile prisoner needing interrogating yet he cannot do so until he is well. On rare occasions he is called for a high profile victim that needs answer about his rights. Normally such questions would be referred to the Hokage staff. This time however Tsunade implored him to come himself and not tell the Hokage.

When Ibiki walked into the secured room and what awaited him in there he knew instantly why he was called. There on the hospital examination bed was Naruto Namikaze in his Sexy-no-Jutsu. Ibiki knew instant he had been raped in that form for there was no mistaking the injuries she had. One glance around the room told him that the Nara boy was involved.

"Ah Ibiki, I trust you know everyone here?" asked Tsunade.

"Indeed. How may I be of help?" asked Ibiki.

"Well Naruto here has a question about her rights on evidence collected," replied Tsunade.

Ibiki looked directly at Naruto waiting for her to begin. Naruto gulped before beginning, "I guess should start by telling you I have been raped." Ibiki's heart sunk having his suspicion confirmed. "What I like to know is if I allow Tsunade and Shizune to collect the evidence needed to not only confirm this but also to convict my attacker will I be able to choose if we use it or not?"

Ibiki was aware most rape victims rarely press charges for fear of repercussions. He also knew the law about such crimes as well. Many Kunoichi are attacked in such a way in the field so he had to learn the laws. "It depends if you press charges or not. If you decide to press charges then all evidence collect would by law have to be brought forward. However if you don't press charges then after a hile the evidence is discarded never to see the light of day."

Naruto digested this information. "Can my parents press charges even if I don't want to?"

"No! In all other forms of assault yes but not in this case unless the perpetrator is above the age of 18 then yes they can but only if you say it was consensual. For non-consent sex crime like this one then the victims, regardless of age, has final say so if files are to be filed."

"So what you saying I can let them do the procedures need to gather evidence but I have the right to use it or not based if I press charges or not?"

"Correct," replied Ibiki.

"One last question, If I do decide to press charges will the magistrate listen to me about what punishment is to be dealt?" asked Naruto.

"Occasionally he does. Each case is different with a different set of circumstances. He will weigh all the circumstances before passing judgment. I can say whatever it is it will be fair and just for all parties involved."

Naruto felt relieved, "Thanks Ibiki. Tsunade, I've decided to allow the procedures required to collect the evidence. Can we let Shikamaru stay with me while this is taking place?"

Shikamaru stiffed as he suddenly looked up at Ibiki, "I'm sorry but I can't stay, Naruto."

"But why?" pouted Naruto feeling like her security blanket is being ripped away.

"I have to go with Ibiki. There is the matter of my involvement in your attack," replied Shikamaru.

"Wait…" cried Naruto as tears dripped form her eyes, "I sorry. I did not mean to ge…"

Naruto triad was silenced as Shikamaru hugged her reassuringly, "You did nothing wrong. I knew this was coming when I woke up in the alley and saw your condition. It was inevitable. You are not the blame for this. I am."

When Naruto calmed down he looked her in the eyes, "I will try to get back as soon as I can however I can't make any promises OK. Remember you are not the guilty party. I would like to ask if I can have the responsibility of telling your father what happened."

Naruto considered the request carefully. She really did not want her father to know about this incident however she realized that he would sooner or later find out anyways. She did not want anyone she did not fully trust telling him but she also realize she could not tell him either. In the end she had to admit the only person she would consider wanting to tell him is Shikamaru. Besides she also knows he already has a partial responsibility to face him about this mess anyways so she nodded her head yes.

"Ok out you two so we can get to work. Shikamaru I've arranged for her to be in room 315. That is where she will be if you can come back."

As Shikamaru exited the hospital with Ibiki on his heels he said, "I thank you for not telling her that I probably won't be coming back soon to see her, Ibiki."

The man barely acknowledged him as they walked the streets to the Hokage tower but then said, "You better call you father and have meet us in the Hokage's office, Shikamaru." Shikamaru did not respond. He merely placed the call.

Shikaku Nara was pissed at his son when he told him he so seriously in trouble it demanded that both be in front of the Hokage. Usually the either Academy or himself deals out the punishments depending on the seriousness of the infractions or where they took place. For it to involve the Hokage and not being able to tell him over the phone meant is was big time trouble. With trepidation he raced to the Hokage tower.

Shikaku got there just as Shikamaru and Ibiki got there. "Ibiki, can you tell me what is going on? What has my son done to call for the Hokage's attention?"

Ibiki eyed Shikaku and felt sorry for him which shown on his face, "I wish I could tell you but that is for Shikamaru to tell you."

"Shikamaru?" he asked while looking directly at him.

"Dad, if you don't mind, can I explain the situation to both you and the Hokage at the same time? I really wish to only go thru this a few times as possible. Beside with the seriousness of the situation the open street is the wrong place to tell what happened."

Ibiki could only nod his head barely in recognition to what Shikamaru had said was true. Shikaku was shaking as he led his son and Ibiki into the Hokage's office.

Minato looked up, "Ibiki! I did not realize we had something to discuss. I would have cleared some time on my calendar had I known. It's good to see you Shikaku. We need to schedule a time to play shogi together."

Ibiki wanted to puke. Evidently he did not hear what happened to Naruto. He wondered if the boys played the old I be staying at so and so house tonight trick. "Minato, I am afraid we are here to discuss something serious with you and it concerns your son, Naruto."

Minato sighed as he suspected Naruto pulled another prank again. He just got past the mud balloons incident too. "sigh … What has he done this time?"

The tone Minato had made it seem he was thinking Naruto was at fault. Both Ibiki and Shikamaru were dreading what was to come next but it had to be done. "My Lord, Minato. You misunderstand. Your son is the victim this time however the prank is very serious and Naruto is in the hospital under the secret care of Lady Tsunade," Ibiki said seriously.

Minato remained calm barely. "Jiraiya, please activate a privacy barrier after clearing the room except for us four. I want you to go to the hospital check on Naruto while we talk."

Jiraiya was just outside the window at the moment. As much as he wanted to hear what happened he knows his former student better than most so he did as requested. Right now Jiraiya knew Minato was on the verge of wishing to kill someone where usually he had an upbeat demeanor.

After the privacy Jutsu was in place and Minato was sure Jiraiya had left he turned to the three remaining people inside his office, "Now would someone care to tell me what the hell is going on and how did Naruto end up in the hospital. No one EVER got hurt from one of his pranks afterall."

Shikamaru stepped forward, "Sir, I am partly to blame for this. The prank originally was supposed to be minor in nature of using his Sexy-no-Jutsu against him and teasing him about it. However Kiba Inuzuka took the prank to a whole other level, a level that can only be considered criminal in nature."

"Wait! This is the same jutsu he uses to turn himself into a naked girl correct?" Shikamaru nodded. "You said to use that jutsu against him … er … her and then Kiba to things to far, to a criminal leve …" Suddenly it dawned on Minato what Shikamaru was saying. "Dear Kama, You don't mean he raped her do you?" he asked in barely a whisper. Shikamaru had tears in his eyes as he nodded his head yes.

Minato slumped back in his chair as if he had been hit with the force of an exploding planet. The child he loved more than life itself had just suffered from one of the meanest attacks known to man. Quietly he pondered what he should do. A part of him wanted to kill Shikamaru were he stood because from the sounds of he was sure he had something to with all this. He decided he needed more information first. "Shikamaru, I am very angry with you now and not as a Hokage but as a father. It is taking everything I have from not killing you now. What I want you to do is to tell us everything you did and know from the inception of this PRANK till this very time."

Shikamaru took a breath of air then started his tale. He mentioned everything to finding about the jutsu from one of his father's books to planning the prank with the other boys. Then he described how he got Naruto to not only agree but to choose himself who he wanted to have sex with. Then he described everything Kiba had done to him trying desperately to stop it. The he describe the beating he relieved from Kiba which led to him waking up in the alley with a naked crying Naruto. He went on to describe how he helped her decide for herself to seek medical aid and then what happened when Ibiki showed up to right at this very moment.

Minato felt dead now. He was helpless in this case and he knew it. Normally he would be presiding over this case but not today he could not. Now he was a Father first. "Ibiki release the privacy jutsu and go see Sarutobi Hiruzen. Briefly tell him what happened and ask him to preside over this case. I am afraid I have to recuse myself for I am the father of the victim."

Ibiki understood so he released the privacy jutsu and left to see the Third Hokage. "As for you Shikamaru, Even though Kiba did the deed I also hold you personally responsible. You say you it was to be a simple prank but you led Naruto there to have sex as the girl. What did you expect to happen? Huh? Maybe he will get freaked out with a kiss or two and that be it then tease him about it. Play sexual pranks like that can lead and did drastic consequences. I think you realized that a little too late. However from what you tell me Naruto seems to trust you now so I have to forgive you so you can help her. If you ever hurt her agai…"

"I am afraid it might be worse than we may think," interrupted Shikaku.

Minato looked at Shikamaru's father, Shikaku, questionably. "Explain," ordered Minato.

"While I listened to Shikamaru's recall of events something odd was about. I could not place it until I recalled the book he read about that particular jutsu."

"What about that jutsu is odd Father?"

"Well Shikamaru, you said she transformed into a girl Saturday afternoon," recalled Shikaku.

"Yeah so what about it?" Shikamaru asked.

"Well it now Sunday midday and you are still calling Naruto with the feminine pronouns. Is it to my understanding she has not dispelled the jutsu and turned back into a boy?"

"You are not suggesting that…" Minato started saying.

"Well normally such a jutsu cannot last this long even with his chakra levels. He would simply be depleted of chakra way before now. Plus you can't tell me she was not unconscious for a short bit after the attack and before the alley. Why did the jutsu not dispel then naturally? I tell you why. I know this book Shikamaru read on that jutsu. Evidently he did not read the entire book for it goes on to list danger associated with having sex in that form. One very real danger is that it can become permanent if a certain condition happens and that condition is pregnancy."

A/N

Ok, I know many will find the last bit very hard to take but I think it is ingenious way to switch the genders. Yes I am borrowing that from the Ranma fiction stories. And no I don't own Ranma ½ since I mentioned him nor anything connected.

Next chapter we will get back on track with more Naruto and her recovery efforts.

Till then – Chow!
