"You- you finished it?" Naruto asks, his voice coming out quietly now.
"Yeah! After Tsunade is done you can probably take it!" Sakura says excitedly and Naruto finds himself looking down at his crossed hands.
He is almost anxious about it, it's been so long coming. And suddenly he's doubting himself, he doesn't know why or what he is doubting but suddenly he feels wrong.
"Will it- it'll work? Forever?" Naruto asks and looks to the magician who is healing him.
"That's how it works when it's done right." Tsunade says but stays focused on the blondes injured ankle.
Naruto ponders this for a moment and then realizes his whole life he's wanted it, there is nothing to doubt, it's just the prospect of change- in a permanent sense that gives him anxiety. Or maybe it's that he'll finally have what he wants but it won't be enough.
But with a big sigh he puts these thoughts to rest and looks at the vile again and then to the three others in the room, "I'm ready."
Tsunade finishes with his ankle but wraps it nonetheless and tells him to be tender with it to make sure it finishes it's healing fine.
Naruto barely pays attention, his whole being focused on the vile next to her.
He only tunes in when she picks it up, "Well since you won't listen until you've drank this, why don't you so that I can get your attention back?"
The blonde rubs his hand on the back of his head and smiles, "Sorry, I just- I…"
"I get it. Sasuke, Sakura, why don't you leave the room?" Tsunade asks and Naruto looks to his husband and is surprised to find anxiety hidden in the onyx orbs.
Instead of saying anything aloud though and making the others aware, he just smiles and nods, trying to ease his anxiety, trying to convey "I'll be okay."
The raven stops for a moment but then nods back and follows Sakura out.
Naruto looks to the remaining person in the room and shows his anxiety outright.
"I know you're nervous, and I know magic isn't always comfortable so, sit back. I'll be here to heal you if you need, just don't be afraid to tell me." Tsunade says and Naruto can tell she is trying to sound comforting but the blonde is suddenly more afraid.
He hadn't thought of pain with magic before, but now he remembers Hinata's pain with her magic and he panics a bit.
"I don't know if it'll hurt but stay calm brat. I'm right here." Tsunade chastises and hands the vile to the prince.
"O- okay." Naruto says and looks at the vile, building up courage before putting it to his lips and drinking the whole thing in one go.
It tastes awful, is all the blonde thinks for a moment before pain shoots through his chest, and in his core.
"My… my chest." Naruto groans out and clutches at his chest but suddenly the pain starts to subside. "Wait."
He puts his hand to his chest and feels flatness.
Excitement courses through his veins and he looks down his shirt, and finds the breasts he hates are now gone, leaving only muscular pecs behind.
Naruto thinks of how wonderful it is, the bane of his existence, his god awful breasts are gone.
While the blonde is looking down he sees tears start to fall on his shirt and wipes them away.
"They're gone." Naruto whispers and looks to the other blonde and smiles, "They're gone."
"That was the plan, brat. Now check out if you have other equipment as well." Tsunade says and nods to the blondes hips.
Naruto hadn't even thought of even getting a penis so the thought excites him even more.
The blonde unzips his pants and looks down and is confused by the 'equipment' sitting there.
"Is that right?" Naruto asks and motions for Tsunade to look, she peaks over and nods.
"Yep. Genitals are never pretty, Naruto." Tsunade says and looks back to her vile, inspecting if there was any left.
Naruto blushes and looks down again, amazed that it all changed in a moment's time.
"Thank you…" Naruto says absentmindedly and then he thinks it over and looks to the elder blonde and smiles brightly, "Thank you so much!"
Naruto reaches over and hugs the blonde beside him and wiggles with excitement again.
"Naruto! Put your- pull up your pants you fool!" Tsunade scolds and pushes away the prince. "God I need another drink."
Naruto blushes brightly and tucks himself back into his pants as the door opens again, and Sakura peaks in with Sasuke right behind her.
"It worked! Look!" Naruto exclaims and pulls off his shirt, showing off his newly flattened chest.
Sakura looks scandalized and flushes, "Naruto! Put your shirt back on!"
Naruto laughs and rubs on his chest excitedly as his husband comes to his side. Naruto looks up at the raven and smiles brightly.
Sasuke looks down and returns a smile but doesn't look at Naruto's body, instead he cups the blondes cheek and kisses him softly, "I'm so happy for you."
Naruto blushes brighter than he was before and moves his hand from his chest to the ravens hand on his cheek and his smile goes tender.
"Thank you." Naruto smiles and feels again at peace.
