Disclaimer: YES! I own Naruto! I own it all and—shit! Here comes the lawyer! I'm sorrrrrry! I don't own jack shit!

Warnings: None, in this chapter. But I've rated it M, because it will be later, most likely.

Author's Note: Holy crap it's the obligatory body-swap story! I had to do one. I wanted to see if I could incorporate angst into it somehow…real angst. Not the oh-my-god-I-have-to-pee-using-his-equipment angst.

Let me know how I'm doing so far. As always, comments and suggestions welcome.

Chapter 1: Your unpredictability

"Idiot! Untie me right now!" Sasuke Uchiha struggled against the ropes that held him tightly bound to an oak tree, on the training grounds they were currently occupying.

The blonde teenager that went by the name Naruto Uzumaki smiled his trademark fox-grin. "Nope!" It took me weeks to get you into this position and now that I finally have you where I want you. I'm trying out this new jutsu, you arrogant, cocky bastard!"

Sasuke grit his teeth together in anger. Amazingly, enough most of the anger was directed at himself. When it came to sparing with his friend, he had to admit; he had been overly confident these last few days. But arrogant and cocky? Please! Uchihas just had high self-esteem. They knew their own worth. Such petty words as arrogant, cocky, and of course bastard, were never to be used to refer to the members of such a mighty clan…until Naruto came along.

There was no denying that he had been set up. Over the course of about 6 weeks, Naruto had been slowly putting less effort into his sparring with Sasuke and as a result, Sasuke always won fairly easy. When he really thought about it, Sasuke realized he had never thought Naruto capable of pulling off a stunt that would take so much time and energy.

"All right, Naruto. Now you have me. What exactly do you plan on doing with me?"

Naruto cocked his head toward his rival in amusement. Sasuke never referred to him by his name, unless it was a dire situation. His little slip-up let the blonde know for sure that he now had the upperhand.

"Well, asshole, I'm so glad you asked. You are the guinea pig for my new jutsu!" Naruto began making the hand signs for said jutsu almost before Sasuke could even protest.

"What?! Naruto, now wait a minute! What the hell are you doing? Stop before you hurt yourself or me!"

"Henshin no jutsu!"

Anything else Sasuke had to say was cut off by a quick flash of light, followed by the unmistakable darkness that precluded one's passing out.

At this point in his life, besides being Hokage, Naruto had a new purpose. One: to tell Sasuke of his feelings for him. And two: to see if the stoic Uchiha felt the same. They were both Jounin now and quickly on the way to ANBU.

Sasuke himself was slowly forgetting the feelings of becoming an avenger. It was true that he still wanted to defeat Itachi, but he had plenty of time to train and he would not allow anyone else to kill his brother. After Naruto had come back from training with Jiraiya, he was actually on-par with Sasuke. It was a challenge to train with the Kyuubi boy, every time. When he thought about it, he could definitely consider Naruto his best friend. The one person in Konoha he was close to.

He only wished now, as he opened his eyes to see the white ceiling of a hospital room, that he hadn't let Naruto become so close.

"He's awake! Oh, thank goodness!"

"His recuperation time took a bit longer than it normally does, with Kyuubi healing him. But nonetheless, I am glad he's ok. Shizune, go check on Sasuke and see if he's beginning to stir as well."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama." Sasuke could hear low heels clack against the polished floors of his hospital room before they entered the hallway, it seemed that he could hear her footsteps for quite a while before they finally died down.

As he took the time to process what his current Hokage had said, he frowned.

Why would she send Shizune to go check on me, when I'm right here?

As his vision cleared, he noticed her face hovering over his. He could tell she was immensely relieved that he was alright. And than in it worried him. She had never shown this type of kindness to him before. The sort of smile she was now giving him was usually reserved for her surrogate brother, Naruto.

While he pondered this train of thought, he noticed that Tsunade immediately schooled her features and sat down in the chair next to his bed.

"Well now you've done it, brat! Trying a forbidden jutsu on Sasuke..." She shook her head and sighed. "What were you thinking? No, wait. Don't tell me. Of course, there wasn't a thought floating through that tiny little head of yours! I ought to give you D rank missions for a year! Do you know how upset the council was when they heard you had used their last Uchiha boy as an experiment?"

Sasuke blinked in amazement.

Uh…what? He thought.

Out loud, he said, "You're making my head hurt. Are you being serious?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he almost passed out yet again.

This voice! It sounds like…like…

"NARUTO!" Tsunade roared.

YES! Like that! I mean…oh crap.

"How dare you get smart with me before you've even completely woken up! Now you shut the hell up and wait right here! I'll be back to talk to you more, after I've finished checking up on the Uchiha kid."

She made her way to the door, but as she grabbed the door handle, she turned towards him and gave him a look that rivaled any Itachi had ever given him. He could feel the goosebumps before she even spoke again.

"And so help me if you've escaped out of here by the time I get back!"

With that, Konoha's forever young Hokage slammed the door shut. He winced, as the sound seemed to reverberate throughout the room.

Even after she left though, he heard a chuckle.

"What the hell?"

Well, well. Look who has invaded my territory.

"Who's there?!"

Now, now, little Uchiha. There's no need to speak aloud. The world would think Naruto's already crazier than he is, if he began talking to himself.

Sasuke growled in his head.

Kyuubi!

Correct.

Sasuke remained baffled. Even though he was beginning to get an idea what might be happening to him, he still had to voice his question.

But how?

Go look in the mirror boy and you'll quickly understand.

Sasuke shifted on the bed, so his feet landed on the floor. He was a bit unsteady, but in seconds he regained steady footing and shuffled into the bathroom, only to scream as he turned on the light and saw his reflection in the mirror.

Or rather, the reflection of his best friend…

Uzumaki Naruto.

Naruto's things to do in the next chapter:

Enjoy being released from the hospital before Sasuke

Completely floor the Uchiha with his perfect impression of him.

Make Sasuke realize there's more going on in his head than just ramen and being the next Hokage.

Yeah, I know it's short. But I felt this was a good place to stop for a cliffie.

For those of you reading my other stories, yes I am still working on them, but I needed a break. So this is my break. ;p
