Chapter 9: Super Ninja Mood Swings
Naruto stared at the floor and sighed. A lot has happened recently… of course he was a little depressed, if only he was allowed to participate.
Sure he was supposed to be on a training trip but due to a massive change of plans, things changed. Sure he was the son of one of the Hokages and that he gave home to the two other village leaders. But to fair the last Chunin Exams, he did win a fight by digging though the ground and upper cutting someone.
"Naruto… it's okay." Said Hinata comforting her boy friend.
"I know…" said Naruto, "But Shibuki just arrived."
"Who?" asked Hinata.
"It's the leader of the Village Hidden in the Waterfall." Said Sasuke, "Has Naruto told you the story."
"He has." Said Hinata with a nod.
"Did he tell you the funny parts?" asked Sasuke with a smirk.
"What funny parts?" asked Hinata.
"Don't tell her that!" yelled Naruto getting out of his funk.
"Why not?" asked Sasuke.
"Because it's embarrassing!" yelled Naruto.
"Well I can see your better." Said Arashi.
Naruto then went back into the fetal position.
"Why couldn't that thing that Tempo did cheer me up?" asked Naruto.
Long story short, Kankuro and Neji got the other leaf Genin to make fun of Sasuke, Lee and Naruto Dr. Tempo (as Hakushi) showed up and turned them all into girls for a few days… that pretty much covers it.
"I'm going for a walk…" muttered Naruto.
Hinata followed him.
Outside, Hinata walked with Naruto.
"Naruto… I know you would have made into the finals." Said Hinata.
"Please… don't say anything like that." Said Naruto.
"I'm sorry…" said Hinata.
"So still mopping I see." Said Kiba walking up to him with Akamaru, "Honestly… you can wait until next time, can't you? I mean I didn't' make it to the finals."
"You didn't make in last time either." Said Naruto.
"That's because you farted in my face." Said Kiba.
"Well at least I don't look like my sister if I turn into a girl." Said Naruto.
"Opal's not even related to you by blood." Said Kiba, "And we swore! We would not bring it up."
"The deal was "What happens in the Chunin Exam, stays at the Chunin exam."" Said Naruto, "It's sill the Chunin exam."
Naruto and Kiba began to glare at each other.
"Please stop." Begged Hinata.
Akamaru barked at them trying to stop them.
"So, the rumor is true, the Leaf Genin were turned into girls." Said a voice.
They all turned to see a dark skinned girl with bright green hair and pink eyes, around her arm was the headband for the Village Hidden in the Water Fall.
Kiba gaped, "You're the girl that beat me." He said.
"Fu was it?" asked Hinata.
"That's right." Said the girl with a nod.
Fu looked at Naruto, "You're Naruto right?" she asked, "You don't look like much."
"Yeah I am." Said Naruto staring at her.
"Oh hey Naruto." Said Shibuki appearing behind Fu.
"Hey Shibuki." Said Naruto… who then became dressed and went into the fetal position.
"So… I take he's still depressed about it." said Shibuki.
"Naruto… it's about lunch time. How about we go out for ramen." Said Hinata.
That snapped Naruto out of his depression.
"Okay! Let's go!" said Naruto.
"Can I come too?" asked Fu and Kiba at the same time.
They then glared at each other.
Shibuki laughed, "You four should go on a double date." Said Shibuki, "IT will be good for you Fu."
"Fine… but I'm only doing because you think it's a good idea." Muttered Fu.
And so the five plus one dog headed to the ramen place.
"That was unexpected." Said who was sitting on a nearby roof.
"Yeah… it was." Said Shibuki.
Gaara jumped down, "So you think those two will become friends?" he asked.
"Probably…" said Shibuki, "But what I wasn't expecting was her and Kiba."
"Well it did happen between my sister and Shikamaru." Said Gaara.
"We are not dating!" shouted Temari who happened to be walking by with Shikamaru.
Both Gaara and Shibuki sweat dropped… deciding it was a good idea to not point out that she was with Shikamaru.
Meanwhile in the mysterious HQ, Oceania was thinking.
"I'll think I'll go with him." Said Oceania.
"With who?" asked Terre.
"Shibuki, the leader of the Waterfall Village." Said Oceania.
"You are aware Fu is there… right…" said Sora.
"She's like Gaara, use her at a later date." Said Oceania.
"When is the next time we'll be able to use her?" asked Sora.
"I don't know… but she needs to be used later." Said Oceania.
"Fine… whatever… it's your choice…" said Sora.
"So… wait…" said Terre.
"Not today." Said Oceania.
"Okay… that's good." Said Terre.
And so Oceania disappeared.
Meanwhile at the ramen place in the Village Hidden in Sand.
"Oh that's nice that you two came back to cheer on your team mate." Said Fu to Kiba and Hinata.
"Yeah." Said Hinata, "Also Neji is my cousin so… I'm also here to cheer him on."
"Naruto's team mate Sakura is also here." Said Kiba.
"You're team mate with her?" asked Fu.
"What did she do?" asked Naruto.
"She faced off against off one of my team mates in the preliminaries, she beat him up then afterwards offered to heal him after the fight was over." Said Fu.
"I have to say, Sakura's match was awesome." Said Kiba.
"I have to agree with you on that." Said Fu.
"So did your team mates come to cheer you on?" asked Naruto.
"No… they hate me." Said Fu gritting her teeth, "I have no friends other than Shibuki and the only reason why is because he's the village leader. I'm basically the village outcast."
"Why?" asked Hinata.
"That's none of your business." Said muttered Fu, "I should be glad that I became fast friends with the Kazekage. Then again I'm not surprised we did."
Akamaru barked.
"You're right…" he whispered.
"What was that about?" asked Fu glaring at Kiba.
"He says you smell like insects." Said Kiba, "It was nothing like that I swear."
"Okay…" said Fu blinking then remembered, "Oh right… you're teammates with Aburame. Just please don't ask why I smell like beetles okay…"
"Fine…" muttered Kiba.
"So Hinata…" whispered Naruto.
Hinata nodded knowing what Naruto was going to ask.
Elsewhere in the village Shibuki was walking alone.
"So you're Shibuki, the leader of the Village Hidden in the Waterfall right?" asked a voice.
Shibuki turned to see Oceania.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"No one you need to know about." Said Oceania.
She then lifted her arm showing the gem of her hand, she shot a beam from it, turning Shibuki into a monster.
Nearby Lee and Guy were running though the streets, training when they hear Shibuki scream.
"What was that?" asked Lee.
"I don't know Lee. But we should check it out." Said Guy.
The two of them ran over to see what it was, both of them gasped at what they saw.
"It is you." Said Lee narrowing his eyes at Oceania.
"That's right Star Healer…" said Oceania with a smirk.
Back at the ramen stand Fu stared at Naruto while he ate.
"Is… is this normal…" said Fu with a sweat drop.
"Yeah it is…" said Kiba.
That's when Naruto's communicator began to ring.
"Oh man…" muttered Naruto, "I have to go, I'll be back in 10 minutes! I swear."
"I really don't get him." Said Fu.
"I don't get you. "said Kiba, "You're nice one second then rude and sarcastic the next. What's with you."
Fu began to glare at Kiba.
Nearby Naruto answered his communicator.
"What's going on?" asked Naruto.
"Oceania has attacked someone in the Village Hidden in the Sand." Said Lee on the other end.
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can." Said Naruto who hung up the communicator.
He jumped to the rooftop.
"Venus Cosmic Power! Make-up!"
He transformed into Sailor Venus fortunately, someone jumping from rooftop to rooftop is such a common sight in Ninja villages that everyone ignored it. Sailor Venus arrived at the scene just when Sailor Pallas and Sailor Uranus did. Lee had also transformed into Sailor Start Healer.
That's when the other Senshi arrived.
"That had to hurt." Said Guy with a sweat drop as he watched the other Senshi arrived in the pile.
"I have turned the leader of the Village Hidden in the Waterfall into my monster! Now he will make you pay." Said Oceania.
"But he's not a Kage level." Pointed out Sailor Uranus.
"I know… but shut up…" muttered Oceania, "Now attack."
The Shibuki monster sent out was a water attack.
"Again! That's twice in a row that we had a water attack." Saied Sailor Jupiter.
"Well… um… I won't say anything…" said Oceania.
"All right! Just like time." Said Sailor Juno.
"Double Elemental Punch!"
"Supreme Lighting Canon!"
"Zaker!" read Sailor Mercury.
"Pikachu!" said Neo Sailor Moon.
"Sparky!" said Sailor Star Fighter.
"Use Thunderbolt!" said both of them.
All of the lighting attacks hit the Shibuki monster.
"Galaxia Healing!"
The healing move hit the Shibuki monster turning him back.
"That was odd yet easy." Said Sailor Venus.
"Damn it! I should have went with someone else…" muttered Oceania who disappeared.
Naruto detransformed and ran off.
"Sorry… but I'm on a double date with Hinata!" yelled Naruto.
"Who would he be on a double date with?" asked Sailor Uranus as she detransformed.
"Probably with Temari and Shikamaru." Said Ash who had sense detransformed back.
"He's not my boyfriend!" yelled Temari from the distance.
"That was odd…" said Star.
"You said it." Said Ace.
Naruto got back in less than a minute… and so 20 bowls later… the "double" date was over.
"Hey Naruto…" said Fu before everyone could part ways, "I need to talk to you in private."
"Okay… sure…" said Naruto blinking.
Sometime later, Naruto and Fu were in a very private location… the roof of the hotel the guests were staying at.
"What did you want to talk about?" asked Naruto.
"Gaara… Gaara told me that I should tell you about my secret." Said Fu.
"Secret?" asked Naruto.
Fu took a breath, "You see… the reason why I'm the village outcast… is that… well I have a demon inside me." Said Fu.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"The 7 tailed Rhinoceros Beetle…" said Fu, "When I was born it was sealed inside me…"
"I see…" said Naruto.
"You better not tell anyone especially not Kiba." Said Fu.
"So you do like Kiba." Said Naruto with a smirk.
Fu sweat dropped, "Okay… I will admit that…" said Fu blushing, "Just… please…"
"It's all right… really…." Said Naruto, "I know how you feel."
"You do… how?" asked Fu.
"There's a reason why Gaara told you to tell me." Said Naruto with a smirk.
"Then you…" said Fu.
"I have the 9 tailed demon fox." Said Naruto.
"Oh… wow…" said Fu.
"Hey! We can be friends even if we live in different villages." Said Naruto, "I'm friends with Gaara and his family, I'm friends with Shibuki too... so it doesn't matter."
"I see…" said Fu.
The two shook hands.
"But the way Naruto… I have to ask you another question." Said Fu.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"That you farted in Kiba's face at the last Chunin exams?" asked Fu laughing.
"Why that…" muttered Naruto, "Kiba!" he yelled loud enough.
Elsewhere in town… Kiba heard this and was laughing.
"Heh… I win…" he laughed.
And so with the Chunin exams Naruto made a special new friend… and Kiba… and Fu… well that's very, very weird… right?

A/N: I don't know why... really... I don't know why but I picture Fu and Kiba together... I know it's weird... really weird... but still...
