Two more days passed and everything in Konoha was getting even more confusing. Not only was everyone the opposite gender, but also along with that, incidents of them acting it were getting more and more frequent. Girls sat on porches painting their nails and gossiping, men making dirty jokes, and so on. Tsunade knew it was time for another assembly.

Team 7 sat down in their seats, waiting for the Hokage to come on stage. Another ninja team passed them, one containing a male with shaggy brown hair and a lanky build.

"He's so hot!" Sasuke blurted out before clutching her mouth as tight as she could with her hands. Her face turned bright red in embarrassment and she rested her face to her knees. Saying such things was becoming an uncommon event. But even so, Sakura giggled. This was Sasuke for crying out loud, he never found anyone 'hot.'

The auditorium filled up quick and soon, Tsunade entered the room.

"Attention," he commanded.

"It seems there is more to this problem. It seems our change has began escalating from just physical appearance to mental business as well. I'm sure all of you have heard of have been in instances where you blurted something out against your will. The phrases you said followed stereotypes of the gender you turned into. We still do not know the reason for that and I apologize, but this is very complicated as you can tell. You may have some thoughts that also fall under something you would have never thought about before this. If anything else happens, if anything new occurs, or even if you feel the need to tell me something you thought or said, please see me in my office. We are trying as hard as we can to figure this out but we keep going to dead ends. If any of you hear about anything that would explain this partially, you must tell me immediately. Understood?"

There was a collective yes coming from the audience. Tsunade finished the assembly and everyone went back to their business.

Shikamaru sat with Temari and Kankuro. All three of them were in deep thought. Both the sand siblings went through DNA testing as well. Since neither of them changed, being in a different village and all, maybe the difference would explain something.

Shikamaru looked at Kankuro. He was looking up a bit, his purple face makeup bright in the sunlight.

He looks so breathtaking, thought Shikamaru, a light blush forming on her face. Then she promptly shook her head trying to push that thought out of her head.

I may look like this, but I'm a guy. What Tsunade said earlier proves that these just side effects of the change, she tried to reassure herself. But wait, 'It is possible that the thoughts and words you express are coming from somewhere inside you rather than just random, but we aren't completely sure yet,' she remembered Tsunade saying.

Well the words would have to come from somewhere. We would know if there was an external force writing stupid phrases and putting them in our heads. So…oh shoot, wait. That doesn't work though. I'm a guy. I may look like a girl now, but inside I'm a guy. There is no way I'd like a guy either way…But Kankuro is pretty cute…ah no! No! I will not let this predicament take over my mind.

"I have to go," she said quickly and walked off from the sand siblings before they could react.

Shikamaru wasn't the only one whose thoughts were getting funky. Hinata sat in a designated meeting spot waiting for Kiba and Shino. They were planning to go train for a bit. He had gotten there a bit early but was alright with waiting. He saw Naruto walk by with a few other girls. He blushed as he watched the blonde.

I'd so tap that, he thought before fainting from realizing what just ran through his mind.

"You okay?" he could hear as he came to. The first thing he saw was two clear blue eyes and a whiskered face.

"N-naruto!" he said jumping up from the ground.

"You okay?" she asked, "Did you faint from a fever? Your face is really red. You should check your temperature."

"I-I'm fine," he said. Naruto was as clueless as usual.

"Okay, I'll see you later," she said with a wink, then wondered why she winked in the first place.

As Hinata watched them walk away, he felt like his pants shrunk a bit, they were feeling a bit tight around the hips at the moment.

Kiba and Shino walked up to him.

"Hey Hinata!" said Kiba. He turned to face them and a shocked and almost creeped out expression appeared on both the females' faces.

"Whoa! Cover that up!" yelled Kiba, pointing to the boy's pants.

Hinata looked down and realized what she meant. His face went as bright as a tomato, realizing this something was not how it should have been.

"What is that?!" she screamed, pointing to her pants.

Kiba's eyes widened as Shino sighed.

"Do we really have to explain this to her…well, him?" asked the shady female.

(A/N: I'm gonna hope you know what that was just now, I'd rather not say it out loud.)

Ino stood behind the counter of the Yamanaka flower shop. The door was open letting a soft gust of wind enter the room, making Ino's short hair dance. Sasuke, with her painted on scowl walked passed the flower shop without a second glance.

All of the sudden, he turned at the sound of a wolf whistle. She could easily see the source was Ino. She was the only one in the proximity, and two fingers were still in her mouth from making the noise. She quickly pulled them out.

"Oh, uh…sorry Sasuke…I guess the gender bug affected me too. Haha," she said. The 'gender bug' is what the people of Konoha began to call times when they spoke against their will, comments that would fit their new genders.

Sasuke nodded thinking of instances where she'd had the bug as well. She turned and continued to walk off.

As the last strand of her long black hair disappeared past the doorframe, Ino began to laugh.

He believed me. Yes! Now I can say whatever I want to Sasuke. Ingenious! she thought as she tried to muffle her laughs to help the next customers to come in. She had yet to experience any real gender bug reactions yet. This was the first time she pretended she did. She had always wanted to whistle at Sasuke, and this excuse kept his massive glare away from her as she did it.

"Shizune, where have you been?" asked Tsunade sternly.

"I'm sorry to have left without word," replied the black haired woman, "I was just walking through the village, hidden of course, to do some studying. Watching how people interacted."

"Alright, but you should have spoken to me first," he replied, "We got ninjas all over the village examining everyone already."

"Yes, and you have a bunch of papers to sign," she replied pointing first to the stack of papers on his desk, and second to the bottle of sake in the Hokage's hand.

Tsunade sighed and got to work.

Shizune turned to walk out of the room, her pig following closely behind. Outside the office, Tonton nudged her leg as if to also ask where she had gone. Shizune turned to the pig, face angry. She lifted her foot and kicked the pig to the other side of the hall.

"Don't touch me, you worthless animal," she growled loud enough for the pig to hear, quiet enough for the Hokage to stay clueless.

Shizune turned and walked out of the building. Well, technically, it wasn't Shizune. She entered the forest and put her hands together. A cloud of smoke enveloped her. When it cleared, it was not Shizune standing there anymore. Rather it was a shady figure. The ninja Shizune lost to.

They started to walk deeper into the forest and were soon joined by their companion. They shared twin smiles, the only things visible under their deep black hoods.

"So did he buy it?" asked the other.

"Hook, line, and sinker. We're going to have to trade transforming into her. If their Hokage doesn't see her for a while, he'll get suspicious."

"True. Why didn't you kill her by the way? It would've been so easy!!"

"She will be useful to us. Just not yet. Either way, it's your turn. Go before he realizes Shizune's not around again."

The second ninja nodded and transformed. They nodded and sprinted off into the opposite direction, toward the Hokage's office.

Naruto blinked as he saw a figure run out of the forest. She had been going that direction to train.

"Shizune, hey!" yelled Naruto when she recognized her.

"Hi," she said not knowing what this blonde child's name was, "I can't really talk now, I've got some business to do for Tsunade-sama." The ninja was having fun pretending to be Shizune.

"Okay. But how long is this gonna last? Everyone is talking weird because of the gender bugs. I am too!" she whined.

"I don't know, it'll be sorted out," she said, beginning to walk off.

"Bye," the blonde ninja waved.

"Yeah, bye...uh…" Crap, what's her name! "Bye." The ninja ran toward the office.

Naruto gave her a weird look and continued to the forest.

Must be the gender bug…she thought with a shrug, not realizing she wouldn't have any since she didn't change genders.
