Thank you guys so much for supporting me so far and I hope you can continue doing so. Oh man, i cannot believe it's been almost 2 years since i started this!

Please write me a review! Also, if you have any ideas for ANYTHING in the story, tell me!! If I like it, i'll put it in!

Another thing, I decided I didn't like killing off Shizune so I went back and changed that. The battle thing still happens but it's not said whether she's dead or not. [She's not.]

You'll find out what happens to her later. tee hee.

I love you guys!! So here we go, Chapter 10. Enjoy!!!


By the evening, most of the young ninjas have met Chiaki. The only people she had yet to meet were team 7. They had been out training for most of the day. Everyone was hanging out in front of the Yamanaka Flower Shop when they got back.

"Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, over here!" Ino called out, waving them over.

The three joined the others and said hello. They noticed among all the familiar faces, one they hadn't seen before.

"Guys, I'd like you to meet Chiaki from the Sand. Her clan specializes in transformation jutsus so she's here to help out and solve the problem," said Kiba, pointing to the redhead.

"It's really nice to meet you!" she said, a huge smile appearing on her face.

"You too," said Sakura and Naruto in unison and introduced themselves. Sasuke just nodded and looked away, mumbling her name quietly.

Before anyone else could say anything, a loud grumble was heard.

Everyone looked around for the source, finding it at a certain blushing blonde ninja who was tightly clenching her stomach.

"Sorry, I haven't eaten all day so I'm starving!" pouted Naruto. A few people chuckled.

"I'm hungry too. Why don't we all get dinner together!" said Chiaki, a wide smile still on her face, "You guys got any ramen places here?"

"Yes!!" yelled Naruto, coming up to Chiaki and swinging her arm around her. "I think me and you are going to get along great."

--

The next morning, Chiaki entered the Hokage's office. It was bright and early, most of Konoha still sleeping.

"Sorry for calling you out so early," said Tsunade.

"It's alright. I'm a morning person anyway," she replied, her smile ever on her face.

"Okay. So the reason I need to explain anything you'd need to know to help us out along with answer any questions you have," the Hokage continued.

They spent the next hour discussing the details of the Gender Crisis, as it was being called now. It would have been called the Sex Crisis, but when suggested, most of the room burst into giggles – the loudest of all being Jiraiya.

"Okay, understood," said Chiaki after an hour, giving Tsunade a thumbs up. She walked out of the office and headed to the village. Her job was to try and teach some transformation jutsus to some of the more advanced ninjas and see what would happen. At first it was meant to be only the team leaders, but them, not getting that memo, brought their teams along with them.

"Alright," Chiaki said once everyone was at the clearing in the forest. It was usually used for training so it was perfect for what they were going to do. She faced the small crowd and began to explain the jutsu she was going to teach them.

"Okay. This jutsu is complicated. It is used for missions where hidden identity is very important. It is strong and completely physically changes you into that person." She explained in more detail why it's different from a regular transformation jutsu, which, if you remember, they couldn't do.

She slowly showed them the long set of hand signs needed a few times. Then she did it very quickly and suddenly, in front of them stood Tsunade. [A/N: she turned into the male version of Tsunade. Aka: the form Tsunade is now.]

"Does anyone have any questions?" she asked. Her voice sounded exactally like Tsunade's current baritone, unlike the regular transformation jutsu, where your voice stayed the same.

Everyone shook their heads. A cloud of smoke appeared around her again and Chiaki was once again in her own form.

"Okay! Your turn. Try it!" she said.

All the ninjas attempted to do it. Most of the adults got the hand signs perfect but a lot of the kids only got some of them. Chiaki walked around and helped everyone until they got it. But no matter how well they knew the hand signs, they wouldn't change. By sunset, they realized it wouldn't work. Word was sent to Tsunade and everyone went their separate ways.

--

"Naruto, for the last time. I don't know how much longer this is going to last!" said an annoyed Tsunade, has he ran a hand through his hair.

"And we can't even transform!!! At all!!!" whined Naruto, rocking back and forth on the chair she was sitting on.

"I know." Tsunade sighed, "We'll figure it out soon."

"How sooooooooon?! This is soooooo annoyi-"

"So are you! Now if you have no more questions, it's getting late. Go home." Interrupted the Hokage.

"Yeah, yeah," mumbled the kyuubi as she exited the office and headed home.

--

A cloaked, hooded ninja sat on the rooftop of one of the buildings. In their hand was some glittering powder. They did a couple of hand signs and blew the dust out of their palm, sending it into the rest of the village, swirling in the wind as it went. They had to do this every night to make sure their plan didn't fail. If they didn't, the villagers wouldn't stay in their opposite gender much longer. [A/N: This powder is just to maintain the gender change. Only the first powder was the actual transformation. Thats why the Sand siblings or anyone else who wasn't transformed aren't changing. Just if you're wondering.] Just as the powder left their hand, they sensed a presence. The shady ninja sharply turned their head, seeing Naruto staring up at them from the ground, a suspicious look on her face.

Crap. The ninja thought, as the blonde jumped up onto the roof.

"What did you do? Who are you?" she commanded, her brows furrowed.

The ninja smirked, their white smile the only thing visible under their hood.

"Show yourself!" she yelled. This figure was definitely suspicious.

"As you wish," the ninja replied, hands reaching for their hood and pulling it down.

Naruto's eyes widened at the sight. "No." she gasped, "That's impossible."

Staring back at her was a pair of blue eyes identical to her own. They had the same blonde hair and whiskers on their cheeks.

Naruto was staring at herself.

"W-what is this? H-how come you're me?" she whispered, raising her hand, her doppelganger mirroring her. Their hands touched. The same exact hands. The same callous on the palm. The same scar on the thumb. What was going on?

Suddenly, the double's hand pulled back and was brought to their chest in a jutsu breaker sign.

"Just kidding," they said and stuck out their tongue before disappearing into a cloud of smoke.

Naruto stayed there for a few more moments, confused. What just happened?

--

The next morning was sunny. Naruto looked out the window, wondering what had happened the night before, and concluded that it must have been a dream. It was too weird to be reality. [And turning the opposite gender isn't? haha]

She put on tight black pants Sakura lent her and her signature orange jacket. She was also wearing a white bra and panties. Sakura pretty much forced her to wear them, although she didn't know why. As she zipped up her jacked, she looked at her body. She unzipped it again and pinched the skin on her stomach. Had she gained weight? She stuck out her bottom lip. There was no way she'd let herself get fat! She'd have to cut down on what she ate. She zipped the jacket back up and moved her face closer to the mirror. She wondered if she should ask Sakura if she had some make-up to borrow. Some blue eye shadow would totally make her eyes pop. With a giggle she skipped out of the room. She had breakfast plans with Kiba. As she reached the hallway, she stopped. What just happened back there? She was thinking about make-up and weight? What the hell? She wanted to blame the gender bug but she realized it wasn't just something forced that came out of her mouth. It felt…natural!

She told Kiba all about it as they ate.

"Yeah, I'm trying to watch my weight too. I want to look cute just in case there's someone cute, you know?" Kiba said, twirling her hair with her fingers. "Speaking of, I wonder what Kankuro looks like without make-up. You think he's cute?"

Naruto stood up and smacked her. "Snap out of it! Don't you see what's happening? We're actually turning into girls! Like more!!!"

Kiba blinked a few times. "Oh crap! You're right. I can't believe I just wondered if Kankuro was attractive! Ugh!"

Just then a waitress came up and asked them if they wanted anything else.

"No thanks," they said in unison, "We're watching our weight."

Then they realized what they said. "Arghhh!" they yelled, frustrated, getting weird looks from the rest of the diner.

They weren't the only ones. Everyone started feeling that way. It seemed like their minds were catching up to their bodies. Ino and Sakura were comparing how muscular and strong they are, trying to outdo each other in the amount of pushups they could do. Choji was drinking diet soda. Shino was braiding her hair. Everyone was doing this on their own accord.

It wasn't too bad until one morning a few days later. Neji woke up with a stomach ache. She wondered if it was from dinner last night. The rice did taste a bit off. She didn't think much of it until she pulled off the covers and saw blood on the bed. Her heart started pounding as she searched for the wound where it came from. There were none. It had to be a wound on her thigh though or something. Why else would it be there? She was freaking out by this point. It was at that point Tenten walked into the room. The first thing she noticed was the red stain. The second was a terrified Neji.

"Tenten, you gotta help me! I think I'm dying. My stomach hurts, I feel like crying and I'm going to bleed to death and can't find a wound where it all could have come from!" Neji was hysterical at this point. She was used to wounds. She was a ninja after all, and yet her emotions were going crazy. Was this some kind of jutsu? She hoped it would stop soon. She needed to calm down.

Tenten giggled, realized what it is.

"Um…haha…go to the bathroom and change out of your bloody pajamas. You're going to be alright, but I'm going to have to take you to Tsunade," he said.

Neji nodded and did as she was told.

--

Tsunade's eyes went wide as he heard what Tenten was saying.

"Time of the month?" he said, "That's impossible! Well, actually I guess in this situation, it isn't."

"What's the time of the month?" asked Neji, still nervous, her hands shaking.

Tsunade sighed. "You'll find out soon enough. I guess it's time for another assembly. For the time being, here." He reached into his desk and pulled out a little mound wrapped in yellow paper and handed it to Neji. "Tenten, teach her how to use that will you?"

The two ninja's left and Shizune was called in.

"Gather all the women of the village please," she said, "We need to have an assembly ASAP."

--

A few hours later, all the women left the auditorium silently. Some were twitching and some were shaking. They were all much more informed now, as much as they might not have wanted to be.

--

"So we bleed out of…of our...you know...?" started Naruto, sitting in a diner with Sakura and Sasuke a half hour after the assembly.

"Yes, Naruto" interrupted Sakura.

"Every month?"

"Yes"

"And we don't die?"

"No."

"Eve-"

"Look, enough questions, okay?" Sakura was getting annoyed and frustrated. But at the same time worried. He thought only the appearance changed, but this proved that their bodies were entirely changed. Were they ever going to change back? He turned to Sasuke, who was silent this whole time while a waitress came over and Naruto was ordering her food.

"You going to get anything?" he asked his teammate.

"N-no. I don't think I'm going to eat again. Ever," she said, looking down. Her face was much more pale than usual.

Well they're taking this great, thought Sakura.

In the next booth over, Neji was sitting with Tenten.

"You just don't understand how hard it is being a woman. There is so much going on. So much pressure!" she sobbed.

Tenten just looked at her. Seriously?
