Thank you everyone who's been following so far. You guys rock!
More trouble is happening. Enjoy!!
Naruto barged into the Hokage's office soon after the sand siblings and Shikamaru left.
"How much longer are we gonna stay like this?" she whined.
"I don't know. I've told you and everyone else that we're still figuring this out!" Tsunade was getting tired of everyone asking him every minute of the day how much longer this would take. He could barely hold his temper back.
"But Tsunade-basannnnnnnn…" Naruto continued.
"What is it Naruto?" he said through gritted teeth, trying his hardest not to punch the blonde out right on the spot.
"Some creep wolf-whistled at me-dattebayo!! Some guy I don't know or something. But I thought it was a girl inside that body. It makes no sense!"
Tsunade thought this new revelation over. "Did they do anything else?" he asked.
"Hmm…" Naruto scratched her head while trying to remember, "Uhm, well he did clamp his mouth shut with his hands and run back into the store he has just came out of before; that was weird."
"Oh no." said Tsunade as he ran out of the room.
Shizune, after quickly calming herself down outside and about to re-enter the office was pushed to the side as the doors opened.
"Tsunade-sama, where are you going?" she asked as she stood up.
"Naruto just said something that might cause a bigger problem to the villagers but may also be a hint possibly."
He spread the newly entered information to the researchers in the lab then asked to call Kurenai, Asuma, Kakashi, and Gai to his office.
They appeared soon after.
"What have you called us here for?" asked Kurenai.
Tsunade sighed, "There may be a problem arising because of this sudden change."
"What do you mean?" asked Kakashi.
"Naruto was in my office a little ago and mentioned to me that a male was making a play on her."
"But, the male is actually a female is she not?" asked Asuma.
"Exactly, that's what I called you here about. It seems there is a possibility that your mind may begin to be affected by this change as well. I need…"
Kakashi interrupted him, "So that's why today I felt different!"
"What do you mean?" asked the Hokage.
"I haven't wanted to read my book all day! I-I just didn't feel the want to! Something is wrong!"
Everyone else in the room sighed. Though it was better that Kakashi wasn't feeling perverted today, it was true that he was being affected.
"Anyway, as I was saying: I need you to keep an eye out on all ninja in the area. Don't spread this information yet, since we aren't sure, just look. If you notice anything please pass it back to me. Meet with your teams, talk to your students, and see how they are. Since they are in the teenage years, their mindsets are probably going to alter the most. Keep an eye on that, but under no circumstances may you mention this to them. We are still unsure if this is true, so until we get enough data, we'll keep it quiet. Once we do, I'll hold another assembly."
"The power of youth is upon them!" yelled Gai before the four ninja disappeared from the office.
Neji, Tenten, and Lee walked through the village to the meeting spot Gai called them to.
"I wonder what Gai-sensei wants to meet with us about!" Lee said enthusiastically.
"Lee!" the green sensei yelled, "Enthusiastic as usual!" She laughed.
"Sensei, what did you call us here for?" asked Tenten.
"Well…uh…" she hadn't thought that out yet, "I've decided that uh…this predicament doesn't change the fact that we're ninja! We will now go to the forest, together, and train! Lets gooooooo!" she yelled and began walking toward the forest, lee running after him and the two brunettes sighing and slowly going as well.
"Sensei, are you all right?" asked Sakura at the Team's usual meeting place.
"Well, other than being female, yes, why?" replied Kakashi.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, why are you asking me this?"
"Kakashi-sensei, since we became Team 7, this is the first time you've been on time." He said suspiciously.
"Oh, haha, well okay…"
"So do we have a mission?" Naruto interjected excitedly.
Even Sasuke was hoping for one. It was better than being bothered by fellow ninja all day.
"No." responded Kakashi.
"Why nottttttttttttttt…" Naruto whined, "We always have missions but because of this small issue, we don't…"
"It's more than a small issue." Sakura interjected, but was ignored.
"I want to beat up come bad guys. C'monnnnnnnnn…" Naruto continued.
"How about some lunch on me," said Kakashi, hoping to change the subject.
"Oh! Ramen!" yelled Naruto and started to walk to Ichiraku Ramen.
As they sat down, they were asked for their orders. It was Naruto's turn.
"Can I get beef ramen? Actually, can you make it diet, I'm trying to watch my figure." Naruto clasped her mouth with her hands after blurting that out.
Everyone in the ramen place turned to stare at her, jaws dropped.
That is defiantly going back to Tsunade, thought Kakashi.
A ninja in the corner of the shop with their face hidden under a hood chuckled.
"This is even better than I thought I'd be," they said to themselves under their breath.
They placed money for their meal on the table then left the shop. As they walked down the street, they were joined by a second ninja.
"Well?" they asked.
"It's begun," was the response.
They both smirked and became out of sight.
"Where to now?" asked the second ninja as the two of them sped through the trees.
"We're expecting a guest soon. So lets get back to base," answered the first one.
Tsunade sat at his desk signing documents. She'd gotten word from Kakashi and Kurenai of strange behavior.
According to Kurenai, Kiba said to Shino that a male ninja they passed was 'really cute' and giggled before covering her mouth with her hands, face red with embarrassment. Tsunade wrote that down along with Naruto's story in her book. Through the day, he got more word of such happenings. Soon, three pages were full of these reports. He decided it was time to take this down to the researchers.
"Shizune, can you take this book down to the lab?" he asked while signing another document.
There was no answer.
"Shizune?" he asked as he looked at his empty office.
The hidden opening in the forest was glowing in the moonlight. It was close to midnight, the second day of gender confusion over.
"Ah, we've been expecting you," said the shady ninja.
"How did you know I'd come here now?" asked Shizune.
"I've been watching you. You are unhappy I presume."
"I've heard of you. Be happy Tsunade doesn't know of your organization yet. I've heard rumors, but never knew you existed. Is this some sick joke to you- changing everyone's gender?"
"Not a joke, but funny either way. Why should you care though? You've been researching and helping Konoha since you got your job and before. But since you didn't change, everyone was rude to you. Are you really fine with helping these people who shunned you for being on a mission during this?"
"Still…"
"Join me," the ninja interjected, "Help me with what I'm doing. Wouldn't that make you feel better? Getting back at all those mean to you would feel great. Don't you think?" They extended their hand.
Shizune seemed unsure. In the glow of the moonlight it was visible that she was biting her lip. She took a step forward, her face turning neutral, almost a light smirk on her face.
"Maybe I should…" she said as she took another step and stood right in front of the hood-ed ninja.
"But not until I see your face and destroy you!" she yelled and lifted the hood. She would finally find out who was leading this operation.
She took a step back, surprised. There was no face. No nothing! The cloak fell to the ground. There was no ninja there at all.
She felt a strong hand clasp her neck tight, restricting her movement.
"You really think you'd be able to beat me?" seethed the voice in her ear. "You want to see who I am?"
They lifted their hood.
Shizune gasped. "Y-you!" she breathed.
"That's right. Bye-bye now," they said.
Fight back! she thought to herself, but her body was frozen in shock along with whatever was injected in her back when she was grabbed.
And then there was nothing.
Sorry Shizune fans...forgive me. lol
