Suteneko: OMG! SO MANY PEOPLE REVIEWED THE NEWEST CHAPTER! I'M SO HAPPY! THANK YOU ALL!
Naruto: YEAH! THANKS SO MUCH!
Sasuke: Hn, whatever. Can we get on with the story?
Suteneko: Sure! But you have to do the disclaimer.
Sasuke: *sigh* Suteneko does not own Naruto
Suteneko: *sigh* Sadly I don't…
"Hello gaki." Tsunade greeted.
"What are all of you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"To see Sasuke of course" Shizune replied.
Jiraiya shook his head, "My god, when I saw Sasuke, I thought I saw a ghost! You really do look so much like your mother Sasuke."
"Really? I really look like my Mom?"
The adults nodded and Sasuke felt great waves of happiness and pride well up inside her.
"Thank you…"
Kakashi froze, "Am I hearing things or did I just hear Sasuke say thank you?"
Tsunade smirked, "Looks like Sasuke turning into a girl isn't all that bad."
Sasuke silently seethed in anger, he hated being teased at.
Geez, why the heck did I say thank you in the first place?
"So baa-chan, did you get back the results from the bottle?"
"I did. But Sasuke, I'm afraid you have to sit down for this."
Sasuke went over to the couch, sat down and looked up at the blonde Hokage, waiting for her to speak. Tsunade took a deep breath and began to speak.
"I took a swab of the bottle and examined it. According to our database, the water you drank Sasuke was from an old watering hole on a cliff in the outskirts of Kirigakure. The water in the watering hole had very special properties. It was able to make any man who drank it, turn to female."
Sasuke kept quiet so Tsunade continued.
"Legend goes that there was a woman named Kasumi who was engaged to a young man named Ikuto. However unknown to her, Ikuto was actually conducting a harem behind her back. Later, she had learned about it and swore that she would make him regret cheating on her. Ikuto had a special place he would go to relax and take a drink, an old watering hole. Kasumi, who knew of this went to the watering hole and cursed the water there. Some say she went to an old witch to help her. Anyway, the next day when Ikuto visited the watering hole and drank its water, he turned to a female. Kasumi confronted him and laughed at him, saying it was his own fault. Ikuto, enraged pushed her off the cliff but Kasumi was quick and pulled Ikuto with her and they both fell of the cliff and died."
Sasuke still kept quiet & Tsunade sighed.
"Unfortunately, the water in that watering hole was reported to have dried up decades ago."
"So then, how was I able to drink that water if it was said to dry up years ago?" Sasuke asked, finally speaking.
"That's what we intend to find out. Don't worry Sasuke; we'll try our best to find a way to turn you back to normal. We promise."
Sasuke just nodded her head numbly.
It was silent for a moment until Shizune spoke up again.
"Why is Sakura sleeping through all of this?"
Naruto answered, "Well you guys know how crazy Sakura is about Sasuke right? Well, when she saw Sasuke as a girl, she kind of broke down…"
Tsunade sighed, "Let's wake her up so I can see her eyes."
Naruto and Tsunade went over to the sleeping pinkette and Naruto proceeded to wake her up. When she opened her eyes, her emerald green eyes emotionlessly met Tsunade's light brown ones.
"Hmm…definitely a trauma. Best to keep her under watch. Naruto, take her to the hospital okay?"
Naruto nodded, took back his jacket from Sakura to wear it and asked her if it was okay to carry her, she didn't respond but Naruto carried her anyway.
"I'll be off then."
Jiraiya opened the door for Naruto, thanked the perverted sage for his help and walked through it with a quiet Sakura in his arms.
"I don't get it."
Tsunade turned to see Sasuke with a confused look on her face, "What is it Sasuke?"
"Why did Naruto ask Sakura if it was okay to pick her up if he was just going to carry her anyway?"
"You need to be gentle with trauma patients. If Sakura didn't want to be carried, she would have shown some sort of response but she didn't. Meaning, she didn't mind."
Sasuke's lips pursed into a tight frown, "And another thing, I don't like how gentle he is with her…why does he take it upon himself to take care of her? It's not like their family or anything…"
Kakashi frowned, "But Sasuke, you know Naruto. He really likes Sakura, you know that."
"But he gave up on her! He told me so himself. Haven't you noticed that he stopped asking her out on dates?"
A knowing smirk started to form on Jiraiya's face, "You know Uchiha, it seems to me that you're getting frustrated. Perhaps you are jealous?"
Sasuke's face turned red slightly at the accusation, "N-no! Of course not!"
Kakashi smirked too, "Oh really? Then why did you stutter?"
"I d-did not!"
Shizune and Tsunade laughed.
Tsunade stopped first, "Ok, ok jokes aside. Sasuke, I need you to come with me & Shizune to the hospital."
"Huh? Why?"
"I need to make sure your gender change didn't affect your health in any way."
Sasuke sighed, she hated hospitals.
"Alright…"
"Good, now Kakashi go and tell Sakura's mother that her daughter has been admitted to the hospital as well."
Kakashi nodded and poofed away.
Jiraiya smiled then, "Well since you ladies are heading off, I'll just go back to my research!"
"Not so fast, you old hermit. You're coming with us."
"Why?"
"Because you're going to help Sasuke with his shopping bags later!"
Sasuke blinked, "What shopping bags?"
"Well after your tests are done, Tsunade-sama and I will take you out shopping and buy you some new clothes!"
"Then why do I have to carry them?" Jiraiya interjected.
Tsunade scowled, "Because I'm the Hokage and I tell you too."
Jiraiya grumbled and Sasuke sighed.
This is just not my day…
Suteneko: *yawn* I'm tired…
Shizune: Please review!
