Chapter 2: Lessons to Learn
They arrived deep in the forest ready to discuss their...predicament. Sakura-Tenten was the first to speak "Before we start trying to find true shinobi friendship, we should start learning each other's fighting styles and personality. But first lets start by calling each other their new names depending on their body so we're used to it."
Ino-Hinata just glared at her. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious but we already know!"
"No glaring and try to stutter a bit more." Hinata-Sakura said to her.
"Excuse me?"
"I only glare at people I despise, so only start shouting and glaring only near us kunoichi. Got that, Hinata?" She said emphasizing her name. Ino-Hinata just nodded and faced Tenten-Ino.
"Try to act bossy around Shikamaru and Choji since I'm considered the leader. So expect those two to look up to you alot, you probably know the rest of me, ne? Ino?" Tenten-Ino just rolled her eyes and faced Sakura.
"Be ready to act calm and collected towards Neji's words when you spar with him. And try not to beat the living daylights out of Lee and Gai-sensei. And whenever someone asks you out, refuse, even if he begs on his knees, say no." Tenten-Ino said in a lecture tone.
"Even Neji?" Sakura-Tenten asked.
"Even Neji." Tenten-Ino answered. Now Sakura-Tenten looked at her body and sighed.
"This is gonna be hard especially with Naruto in your team. You ready to act the exact opposite of yourself and try to admire Sasuke-k-san and despise Naruto?!"
"Hell yeah! Bring it on!" Hinata-Sakura shouted. Then she let out a small laugh."Did that sound like you Sak-Tenten?" Sakura-Tenten just gave a thumbs up.
Tenten-Ino spoke up again."Time for the hard part. The fighting ways of all of us are different. I'm supposed to be good with ninjutsu and genjutsu, Hinata has the Gentle Fist style and Byakugen, Sakura has great chakra control and Tenten is master in weapons. Everyone ready to start learning? We still have the whole day ahead of us and it's only...12:00 pm. Lets get started!"
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"Come on Sakura you haven't even made it to the middle!" Sakura-Tenten yelled.
"Can't you see I'm trying! This is not easy for me as it was for you! So wait up!" Hinata-Sakura yelled back.
Sakura-Tenten just smiled."Make sure you talk like that when you're in my body with other people! You're starting to get the hang of it!"
"Well it's not that easy! You're lucky, Tenten is easy to act out!" Hinata-Sakura was trying to put chakra in her feet and climb the tree but failed miserably.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"You're joking! A 3 year old could do better than that! You really are nothing without your weapons Weapon Ad-I mean- Ino-pig...kinda feels wrong calling my body a pig."
"Shut up! What you're good at I suck at the same is vice versa! Lets see how you do with weapons." Ino-Hinata just looked down.
"I'm s-sorry, I-Ino-san I did not m-mean to i-insult you."
Tenten-Ino just smirked. "You're pretty good." "T-thank you I-Ino-san."
"But you only stutter with the rest of the world not the rest of us three." "Yeah I got it."
"Oh! And don't call me Ino-san or the rest of with the suffix -san it's best if we use -chan so we could start with this friendship junk."
Ino-Hinata just rolled her eyes "By the looks of it even you think we'll never get this friendship thing down."
--SWITCH PLACES--
"Looks like you're actually getting the gentle fist." Hinata-Sakura said.
"Yeah this is kinda cool, but weird. Hitting internal organs make me wanna puke!" Ino-Hinata said.
"Hey Hinata have any idea what 'true shinobi friendship' is?" Hinata-Sakura asked changing the subject.
"Not a clue! But I hope we'll be able to get it, I already miss my body!"
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"You only got one out of ten shuriken to hit the bullseye!"
"What are you yelling at! Not my fault I'm not great at this! Heck! I can't even see the target clearly! How far is it, five miles?"
Tenten-Ino just rolled her eyes. "Hey Tenten any idea what 'true shinobi friendship' is?"
Sakura-Tenten just shrugged. "I only heard that it has something to do with us acting like a family and all that mushy crap. But I don't think so...I mean there's the word 'shinobi' that has to mean something, what does that have to do with friendship... besided the fact that we're ninjas, I have no idea. I'll have to research on it."
The kunoichi would not stop until they mastered each other's abilities which did not take long. Because the person has already the body energy all it was lacking was the spirit energy adaption to the new body. So it only took 12:00 pm until 4:30am to make it look like they never switched bodies. The only obstacle now was hoping the other ninjas would not find out about their 'different' attitude.
While they were heading home an idea occured to Hinata-Sakura "Did we ever try the transformation jutsu so we look like our real selves instead of acting like our new selves?" The three just stared at her.
Ino-Hinata just slapped her forehead "Of course! Why didn't we think of it in the first place, instead of wasting so many hours training each other on how to fight!"
Sakura-Tenten just shrugged "Look on the brightside: we don't kill eachother when we se each other anymore, that's a start at the cure, and we could always use what we learned in sticky situations."
Tenten-Ino just sighed "You're right, but it might not work, I mean whoever made the potion must have thought of that, I mean the scroll looked pretty incomplete on information...almost as if the only thing the maker wanted was to give us an idea on the cure. But let's just try it."
There was a poof but when they looked at each other they just sweatdropped. Hinata still had pink hair and green eyes. Ino still had pale skin and white eyes, Tenten was still Ino's height and still had blue eyes, and Sakura still looked a year older with brown hair and eyes. They tried again and again but they stilled ended up with a charcteristic of the wrong body.
Sakura-Tenten tried to transform into Naruto and worked, then she went back to being Tenten "The good thing is we can still transform into other people but we just can't transform correctly into ourselves. Looks like we still have to act." The other three groaned. So much for a simple way out.
Hinata-Sakura was still thinking "So the one who gave us the potion must be good...well he is Hokage-sama what else would you expect?"
Tenten-Ino just sighed "We should have been suspicious, after all he's not stupid enough to think we'll get along by lectures and threats, so he gave us tea with a potion. Though I think I remember during his speech something about kunoichi friendship, but I wasn't exactly listening. Did any if you pay attention to what the old man said." They all shook their heads.
"I would expect the people who would do this are our senseis maybe even our teammates, but I never would have thought Hokage-sama doing all of this!" Ino-Hinata exclaimed.
"I know! I mean we're just a bunch of young genin kunoichi rivals...well rivals is an understatement. But why would the Hokage get involved in something as common as this! What does he think, that this will effect the ways of the ninjas of Konoha!" Sakura-Tenten added.
Tenten-Ino just said "Well there are a few reasons:
1. Maybe we're an influence to the other young girls who want to be a ninja,
2. the Hokage is bored so he decided to try and solve this,
3. we're messing with his plan on all this teammork stuff,
4. he thinks this will have some kind of effect on us in the future,
5. he did say about complaints of our behaviour, and
6. he knows something we don't."
Ino-Sakura just shrugged "Well I think number two is out, but we should just ask him tomorrow. So after our training, interrogate the old geezer."
Sakura-Tenten just rolled her eyes "We can't exactly interrogate him, and he might deny it. I mean maybe it's not him who put the potion in our tea. First we need solid proof!"
"Oh come on! He's the prime suspect all evidence leads to him: us going to the tower, drinking the tea, and his displeasure on our argues. If not him who else could it be, that knows how to make that kind of potion. Heck! I didn't even know that kind of thing existed, it's pretty powerful in a way only elite ninja like the Hokage would know about it. Not to mention the ingredients are very expensive, we all know he's rich and has a bunch of ninja ready to get the rare ingredients!" Ino-Hinata did have a point.
Sakura-Tenten just nodded "I guess you're right...then when all of this is over it's not really him, that usually always happens in stories. We don't have any solid proof, and what if it wasn't him? Then he'll know all about it and we'll never get back to normal! It's best if we find more clues and evidence. But let's just check it out tomorrow -yawn- we have about 1 to 2 hours of sleep and I'm not gonna waste it. See ya tomorrow. And let's meet up at Ichiraku at noon for lunch then head to the plains." The rest bid their farewell and left.
Then they all came back together. Hinata-Sakura was the first to speak "Uh...Sak-I mean- Tenten where do you live again?"
Sakura-Tenten just sighed "Parents know all about us, and quickly realize if something about us is different. But anyway, does anyone here have a different attitude towards their family?" They all shook their heads. Then they led each other to their houses. Ino-Hinata and Hinata-Sakura we're the last, since the Hyuuga compound was the farthest.
When they were a few blocks away from the household. Hinata-Sakura made sure no one was around and faced Ino-Hinata "My family is alot different then yours, expect alot of people to l-look down on you. And when N-Neji-nii-san glares at you, ignore it...and try n-not to insult or f-fight H-Hanabi unless told to. Try to keep your e-emotions at b-bay when at home."
Ino-Hinata just looked at her Her family must be tough if she's stuttering again when she talks about them, maybe their the reason why she only had confidence in our fights and only in our fights. I hear she doesn't even do good in D-Ranked missions. She just nodded.
They arrived a block away from the household. Hinata-Sakura pointed to a window "Try to sneak in there as quietly as possible." Ino-Hinata just nodded again.
But before she left Ino-Hinata whispered to Hinata-Sakura "When we get back to normal get ready to act more confident and defensive on your family." Then she left and snuck in the window. Hinata-Sakura sighed, by the looks of it, Ino-Hinata is gonna fight and talk back at her family. Oh joy.
