hay hay! I hope you like this latest chapter. 3

The day turned into night, and the genderly confused ninja's went to sleep. They hoped this was a dream. They'd wake up the next morning and they're bodies would be back to normal. In the early morning, the sun peaked over the horizon and there were many frustrated ninja's waking to see their wish not granted.

Shizune walked though the village in the morning on some errands for Tsunade. She could feel people glaring at her all around her, their eyes burning a hole in her back. She saw one group of males, and as she passed them, she heard them whispering. She couldn't hear most of it but she was able to catch,

"…woman thinks she's better than all of us…"

With that, Shizune couldn't take it anymore. She turned to the guys and yelled:

"Look, it's not my fault that I didn't change along with all of you!"

The tallest male, the obvious leader of the pack, turned and looked directly at her.

"Does that mean you wish you were changed to a male with all of us?" she replied. They didn't give her a chance to answer. Instead, they walked off cackling loudly at his statement.

Tsunade stood on the roof of the Hokage building. He looked out into the rest of Konoha. Everyone seemed a bit more comfortable in his or her new bodies. They understood this predicament might last, so they should at least assimilate to the situation at hand, as bizarre as it was.

Everyone in town knew about this and hoped no other village would find out. For now they were fine, but at the same time, it seems a few from Sand would be in for an interesting surprise.

"We're almost there," said Temari to her brother.

"Remind me again why Gaara isn't here with us?" replied Kankuro.

"Not sure," she answered, "I think he said he had some business to attend to or something."

"I hope he doesn't use the sand coffin on someone in the process."

"Yeah, I think everyone is hoping that."

Soon the two reached the city gate. They saw two females at a table near the gate, looking at them with scared faces. They were pale and were biting their lips. The two sand siblings thought it was Kankuro's face paint rather than two non-Konoha people entering the village soon to find everyone in the wrong body.

As they continued through the village, Temari began to notice that there were a lot of ninjas she couldn't recognize. She'd been to Konoha many times before and yet she couldn't find one familiar face. And that was when Kankuro saw a very pretty female ninja walk toward them. She was wearing a green, netted shirt under a black jacket and she had black spiky hair in a ponytail. She was gorgeous. Her facial expression changed to one showing fear for a split second when she saw who was coming her way. Her face went straight back to neutral after that so they wouldn't notice.

"Hey," said Kankuro in his attempt to be flirty, "I don't think I've ever seen you around Konoha before."

"So troublesome," muttered the girl while trying to walk past them.

"Hey, what's your name? I'm Kankuro."

She kept on walking. She'd rather not be found out and laughed at- too bothersome.

"Hey, you know you remind me of a friend of mine," said Temari to the girl.

"Really." She replied quietly. That's because it is me! She thought.

"Yeah…I don't know. Do you happen to know Shikamaru Nara by any chance?" Since both the girl and Shikamaru were from the same village. Temari thought she'd probably recognize the name.

"Nope, never heard of him." she replied quickly and started walking off at a quicker pace.

Temari was getting a bit suspicious. "Something doesn't feel right here," she said out loud to herself.

Kankuro on the other hand, was completely infatuated by this strange girl.

"Wait!" he said walking after her, "I still didn't get your name."

The girl turned a corner and bumped into Naruto.

"Hey Shikamaru, have you seen Sakura anywhere?" she asked.

Shikamaru made a worried and frustrated face. Kankuro was right behind him. Uhoh.

"Oh hey Kankuro," said Naruto, "What brings you to Konoh-…ohmygodihavetogo…" she finished quickly, realized the whole gender situation and ran off, embarrassed.

"W-why did that girl call you Shikamaru?" asked Kankuro.

"Uh…" she tried to walk off again only to bump into Temari.

"No wonder you look like him. Why are you a girl?" she asked sternly. Temari was taller than Shikamaru at the moment by half a head. She had control.

Shikamaru sighed and told the two sand ninja the whole story.

By the time she was done, Kankuro and Temari were on the floor, holding their stomachs laughing.

"Y-your serious?" gasped Temari in between giggles.

It took them ten minutes to stop laughing enough to begin calming down. Tears were streaking down their faces from laughing so hard.

"That's probably why Tsunade wants to see us. She called us here," said Temari.

"Or should you say 'he.'" Kankuro added and the two began laughing again.

Shikamaru smacked her forehead with her palm, face red with embarrassment.

The three of them got up and walked to the Hokage building. Along the way, Kankuro and Temari spent their time guessing who all the ninja were. They stopped a few times to say hello and after a bit, reached the office. Shikamaru knocked and they entered.

"Hello Temari, Kankuro. Thanks for coming," said Tsunade.

Kankuro bit his lip to keep from laughing at seeing the male version of the Hokage. Temari elbowed him.

As Tsunade explained to the group what was going on and what they had discovered so far, which was barely anything. Shizune entered the room to give a stack of papers to the Hokage.

"Hey, how come you aren't changed into a male?" asked Kankuro.

Shizune gave him a death glare and stormed out of the room.

"What's her problem?" he asked.

The researchers were getting frustrated. They have been working non-stop on finding the answer to this situation since the start. The only thing they were able to find out is that Konoha is the only country affected. They continued their work, trying to push forward for answers.

Not far from the village, a dark ninja sat laughing as they watched the ninjas of Konoha squirm with their confusion.

"This is better than I thought it would be," they said to themself.

A second ninja appeared and stood beside the first.

"How is the plan going?" they asked.

"Good. Take a look for yourself." The first ninja responded.

They watched the villagers and laughed.

"Good job. Phase two is just around the corner."
