Naruto stared at the future cause of most of his village's pain. Sure, he did help him become stronger by taking control of the Kyubbi and in a sort of messed up way also let him make friends he would never would have thought possible, but that didn't make it any better.

It surprised him actually, the way the dark-haired man hunched over himself as if trying to fold in half. Or maybe he was trying to do that stupid jutsu thing he did when he was too lazy to fight, or some shit like that. All he knew was that it was annoying as fuck.

After a few more moments of drawn out angst, the weirdo let out a long and disturbing sigh that shook his whole body. Naruto's muscles tensed in preparation, he could feel the power radiating off the sulking young man, almost like a wave of cool energy. He shifted quietly within the brush and looked closely at the man, trying to see if he had sensed Naruto's presence.

"Come on, just keep crying and don't look this way," he thought. After a few seconds, the energy was shut completely off. "He mentally sighed and rolled his eyes, "What are you trying to do, attract attention so someone can come and sooth your bruised ego?"

How typical of the mystery men women were so fond of, trying to be cool even though he was miserable, terrible bunch they were, attention whores and psycho maniacs. Well maybe Sasuke was alright, but that didn't make him any less annoying! But this guy, this freak-of-nature, had a way of getting on his nerves more that a friend/rival could ever do. Maybe it had something to do what that aggravating disguise he was so fond of using when he met him. He snorted, who knew.

Said young man lifted his head sharply looking right at Naruto.

"Shit!" The kimono-clad woman said, "Alright, play it cool, don't let some fuckin' psycho bitch get to you," he whispered to himself or herself in this case.

See what was really odd about this certain situation was that Naruto, twenty-two year old shinobi of the mighty village hidden in the leaves was in a kimono, a kimono that hindered his movement and did not make him feel as comfortable as he'd like. Sure it was beautiful and gave him a certain grace that he could never achieve as a man, but nevertheless it was irritating. The reason he was wearing this garment was due to the fact the he somehow ended up in the past. A past where evidently a woman wearing pants or anything of the sort was cause for grumpy old men to chase after you screaming harlot, throwing stones of all things, which he thought was totally uncalled for.

That was fine with Naruto though, a ninja was trained to adapt to a situation so he had snagged some clothes from a merchant and simply transformed into something aesthetically pleasing. The reason that he was whatever-years before his time was so lame it made him lose respect for himself. Really, and it wasn't some cool mixture of badass jutsu or Kyuubi releasing some last ditch effort to save both their asses, but a simple thing like misreading some random scroll.

He hissed under his breath, he could have sworn he had gotten the whole reading thing down to a tee, Jiraiya, god rest his soul, would sure to hear about this in the afterlife.

Steeling himself to what could be a nasty fight, Naruto straightened out his newly feminine figure and walked out of the bush he was crouched it. A small shiver rippled throughout her body, still need to get used to this female thing, he thought, sure he'd gone on missions when kunoichi were low and he needed to use his special techniques to transform into a woman, but this was different, this was an instance where he didn't have a choice in the matter but was forced to accept reality. Also, they were never the disguise in which he went in with, it was usually only meant for a couple of minutes.

After a small demonstration to the Hokage though, it changed everything. It had actually surprised him that Tsunade had not known of it. The look on her face when he had transformed and had shyly looked at the floor, finger lightly touching her lip trying to be cute, was unforgettable. It wasn't the look of an embarrassed woman trying not to pay attention to a naked female, or the angry flame that burned in Sakura's eyes whenever he performed it by his lack of decency or some nonsense like that, but the cold, calculating look of a buyer suddenly realizing that its toy could do more, so much more. The evil grin that accompanied the look also didn't help. That day was followed by Tsunade adding missions to his schedule that he would never had actually considered carrying out. Missions such as befriending a young princess to help persuade her very rich and powerful father to open up trade routes that would help Konoha financially, not only civilian-wise but would bring in more missions, or seducing an insecure young man of a very powerful daimyo family; seduction of all things! Hell, he already had an idea of how to be sexy and feminine by observing his classmates and comrades, but the crash course in female behavior and skills that Shizune and Kurenai had given him had blown his mind. The things women did without even saying or doing anything gave him the chills. Well, all for the sake of the village, if he had to have sex with some guy that was okay. Naruto wasn't some blushing heterosexual prude, he had a few experiences with men, but what made him guilty was 'tricking' the man into becoming infatuated with him and using the jutsu for actual intercourse, which wasn't half-bad. Besides it wasn't like he hadn't done it with his clones before. Hey, always explore a jutsu to the fullest, it might get you places, he thought shamelessly.

What didn't make him run out of the Hokage's office was the comedic relief that Kakashi-sensei had provided. He had been in the corner simply lagging behind after having given her a debriefing, he had not been reading his infamous orange novel, but had his hands in his pockets, giving off the air of someone who didn't give a damn. That facade had quickly melted when a very attractive and curvaceous young woman appeared in front of him practically begging to be ravished. See, Hatake Kakashi was a man of honor, honor and control, but there was only so much control he could have over certain situations. Sure, the rumors said he was a notorious ladies man and was quite a catch, but that was all because of lack of information which led him to be tagged as mysterious. Kakashi hadn't ever really had enough time to ever have more than two serious relationships, and those didn't even give him the 'experience' that every woman in Konohakagure assumed he possessed. When one really thought about it, a grown man of his age didn't blush at a raunchy novel, or at least shouldn't. No, an experienced man would leer, smirk perversely, fuck around making lurid jokes, or even go back to a room and 'deal' with his excitement, but the fabled student of the Fourth Hokage did no such thing. Not many understood it so they thought he was being risqué and figuratively showing his feathers to attract sex partners, but that was not the case.

Anko, had been the one to catch on to this. A kunoichi who was as dangerous as she was beautiful, didn't rise in ranks by pure luck, she had the uncanny ability to be see things others couldn't. She never really spoke to Kakashi, but on the off chance that she did, it would be a jab at his apparel or a simple message that a higher ranked shinobi than her had sent her to deliver. He could tell it irked her being the messenger, but she had recently been demoted because of some reckless action that had completely and horrendously ruined a mission, some place in Iwa, he heard. What it was he didn't have the balls or energy to ask, a woman like Anko had too much pride, a very fragile thing in her case, strange as that may sound. Anko had been on a considerably bad mood one day when a, "stupidchuunin thought she was just eye candy," as she so eloquently put it and hadn't respected her. She had stomped up to him eyes full of rage and nails biting into her palms to drop a crumpled up envelope in his lap. He had quirked his eyebrow up at here, confused but not really interested in her dilemma, so he looked down at the message. She responded by yelling in his face, "Don't fucking give me that look you dumbass pansy! Don't try to act like you're the shit when you can barely handle not jerkin' yourself off on that shit you read all day, seriously, go to the fuckin' red light district and get yourself laid!" She finished dramatically by turning around and stomping back to wherever she came from.

He had sat there trying not to look embarrassed and speechless, and resorted to pretending he didn't see the bewildered looks that passing civilians and shinobi alike gave him. It had taken weeks of indifference after the incident and many far away assassination missions to get his 'rep' back. Of course he didn't actually care, he was Hatake Kakashi, copy-nin of more than 1,000 jutsu, but what worried him more was Gai. He had resorted to giving him these sad smiles like he felt sorry for him, no, a Hatake was good at everything, whether it was sex, or lying about sex.

Anyways back to the situation, Kakashi-sensei eyes had widened to an exuberant size, practically watering to the sudden exposure to the air. His nose hadn't bled like Naruto had expected but, his face had reddened by what he could see out of the mask, he could also see the clenched fists he had made in his pockets, a sure sign of trying to compose himself. And what really gave him a laugh was that after a few seconds of ogling his hand rushed up to shield his eyes, like some kid! It still made him grin, the infamous copy-cat ninja embarrassed by the sight of a woman was too much to take. Naruto had even walked over to Kakashi, draping herself over him and had whispered into his ear erotically, "What's wrong Kakashi-sensei? Are you in P-A-I, and had softly bit his earlobe-N?" To which he responded by giving a small whimper and had even excused himself stuttering and stumbling over himself to try and escape out the window, which failed because it had been "ninja-proofed" so he had to shamefully stumble out through the main door trying not to stare at his student on the way out. Kakashi never looked at Naruto the same way after that. Serves that pervert right! He thought with glee.

Mentally returning to himself, Naruto walked out through the bush that she had been hiding in. Might as well refer to myself as a woman, don't wanna fuck this up more than I've already have. Okay, female speech, female speech, female speech. Keep it old school.

The man who had been sulking before also straightened himself out and donned on a menacing face, hoping to scare the young woman off, "What is your business here?" he said with a deep baritone voice, almost a yell but not quite there.

Naruto of course suspected this, sheesh, they are all the same arrogant assholes, "I'm sorry, but I seem to have drifted off onto uncharted territory. Do you happen to know where I am, I sure hope you won't mind me trespassing," she said, voice softer than he was used to ever using and simply stared into the eyes of the man with the ridiculous hair patiently. He better not trap me in some stupid genjutsu, freakin' hate those.

"You have strayed quite a ways if you have made it to this hut, if it were not for me then you might not have found help for some time," he said with the air of someone who was used to being regarded as a hero. The man's eyes did a quick survey of the woman before him and another arrogant look came across his face.

Trying her best not to snort, Naruto gave a tight smile and opened her mouth to give some lame comeback, but was rudely interrupted when her supposed savior all but yelled, "Have you no shame woman, put some footwear on!" He chastised, talking down to her like she was some submissive woman.

The accuser smirked at the woman in front of him, though he did not show it, he was surprised she was not cowering in his presence, not to forget that she was breathtakingly beautiful. It was rare to see a woman with such poise and confidence that this woman radiated, not to mention she had the most peculiar hair color he had ever seen. Numerous questions ran through his brain: from what foreign lands has she come from, was it actually yellow, or perhaps it was even gold? The way the sun made it shine almost convinced him of the latter possibility. Though what really caught his attention were her eyes, so blue. Being born into a family of high skill and value had led him to have quite of a few admirers, but none caught his attention for more than a few weeks, it was the eyes that always convinced him to drop relationships. If one were to strip it down and put it simply, they could say he had a fetish for eyes. These eyes were different though, he had to stop himself from starring too intently. He wondered how they would look angry, eyes were so peculiar when it came to emotions. Being the master of his own set, he liked watching how other eyes reacted to fear, joy, anger, love, sadness...insanity.

"Oh, well though I am a visitor of these lands, I am no stranger to the wilderness, I assure you I would have been perfectly fine, and my lack of shoes is my own personal choice, I find the feel of the earth beneath me rather pleasing," she said pleasantly, tilting her head the slightest degree to the left.

As if by book, the man simply stared at her open face trying hard not to burn holes at the exposed neck. Naruto had to keep himself from smirking, yeah totally walked into that. After a few seconds of what may have been an awkward silence, if Naruto gave a fuck, the uptight asshole as Naruto pegged him, cleared his throat and replied simply.

"…Yes." Then after trying to start a sentence just stopped and simply stared at her, unsure of what to do.

At this Naruto couldn't hold it back anymore as she let out a carefree laugh, which widened the eyes of the sullen man and made him a bit uncomfortable. Naruto always a joker couldn't help it. He was a woman for the time being, but to make one of the strongest people he ever had the chance to meet uncomfortable just by a subtle hint of innuendo and body language was completely ridiculous.

Figuring her fun was over she stopped suddenly and remembered the time she was in. Oh wait. I'm like pretty much being a total flirt, isn't like showing the elbow pretty bad in itself, but to be barefoot and purposefully have the neck exposed…hm…I don't know! He thought with dread, let's just hope this doesn't bite me in the ass.

"Please excuse me, you surprised me and well I do enjoy laughing, you see. Now that I've had a time to relax I think I know where I am, I shall go to my friends now," With that she gave a small smile and whirled around to get away as soon as possible.

She never got to take more than two steps as he grabbed her wrist firmly and started walking briskly to the north, switching her direction completely. Great what did I get myself into?do something and high tail it outta her! Now! She silently screamed to himself.

"Sir, unhand me, you are being rough with me, I will not be led around like some child," Naruto was panicking, did he figure it out, is he gonna put me in the slammer? He didn't respond just gave her an irritated look and kept on walking, dragging her along.

With an exasperated sigh she warned him" Well I am sorry but I did caution you," and promptly flicked her wrist and had him laying on the ground, the look of surprise on his face made her want to gloat, but instead she leaned down and whispered menacingly, "You know, you have to treat ladies more gently than that, not only because you can harm then physically, but they can fight back and hurt you terribly as well." She gave him a rather cocky grin and with the speed that years of training gave him, blurred out of existence and ran off to anywhere that was not the here, leaving a very disgruntled grown man behind. What she didn't see though, was the smirk that was slowly appearing on his face, and the eyes glittered with amusement and excitement.

"Do you think it is that easy to run away from me, the master of the Sharingan, Uchiha Madara? Silly woman," and with that his body blurred leaving no trace of the little scuffle behind.
