Hello Everybody! This one is just my take on the 'swapping-bodies' idea that obviously has been done many times ^^ Still, hope you all enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. That is so obvious.

Chapter 1: Swap

It's a fine summer day in Konoha. Sun was shining brightly as the breeze blew. A raven haired young man was walking along the street. He had just returned from the Hokage's office to report his mission, a solo mission this time, without his team 7 partners.

He groaned as he heard his stomach growled. He was hungry. It's been almost a day since he ate last time on the way back to Konoha from Suna on his mission. He stopped his walk, thinking. Actually, he intended to go to the hospital first, making excuse for having some injuries while actually he just wanted to see Sakura. It'd been a month since he last saw her and he's kinda missing her so much.

But, stupid stomach of his! It wouldn't stop growling. He finally decided, 'Well, Sakura can wait.' he thought. Besides it wouldn't be good if he died starving just because he forced himself to see her, right? He couldn't die, not when he hadn't told her his feeling yet. So, with that thought, he quickened his pace and without he realized it, he already arrived in front of Ichiraku Ramen. 'Geez, I think I spent too much time with Naruto'. Sasuke shook his head but then he entered it anyway.

"Oi, Sasuke-Teme. Over here!" No surprised if Naruto was there. Ichiraku had been like his second home.

Sasuke shrugged and walked toward Naruto. He muttered the word 'Dobe' that he considered as a greeting for his best friend before sat down next to him. "Beef please…" He said to Ayame who then quickly prepared it.

Naruto slurped his fourth bowl of ramen, "Just came back?" He asked without bothering to see Sasuke.

"Hn."

"Have you seen Sakura-chan?"

"No." Sasuke turned his gaze to Ayame who now placing his ramen in front of him. Sasuke muttered words 'thank you' as Ayame said 'Enjoy!' His stomach growled once again as his nose smelled the ramen scent. Thank Kami, it was inaudible enough for the people to hear. It wouldn't do any good for his cool image if people heard it.

"So, have you reported to Tsunade baa-chan yet?" Naruto asked again.

"Hn."

"I am sure she gave you a looooong boring speech before he let you go, eh Teme?"

"No. She was actually busy looking for something when I came. She looked so panicked. So she just dismissed me in few seconds. I wonder what she's looking for though."

Naruto suddenly stopped half-way eating his ramen. His eyes widened in pure shocked.

Sasuke frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke nervously, but he didn't say anything.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed suspiciously, "Don't tell me you related to the Hokage's attitude now."

"Uh well…It's…" Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously. He avoided Sasuke's pierce gaze to him.

"Tell me, Dobe!" Sasuke's voice was cold and sharp. Sharingan was activated.

Naruto gulped. He was surely aware that his best friend wouldn't let him go easily. "Ugh, Teme… fine I'll tell you. But not here and just let me finish my ramen first, okay?"

Sasuke was still eyeing the blonde uncertainly but he slowly nodded. He was also hungry anyway.

It was about 10 minutes later before the two boys finally walked out of Ichiraku. They both walked toward the forest near the bridge where Team 7 usually met. As soon as they arrived there and made sure that no body was around, Sasuke stood before Naruto and said, "Now Tell Me!"

Naruto scratched his head once again, sighing. "But promise you won't tell anybody!"

"Hn."

Naruto shoved his right hand into his pocket as Sasuke watched him curiously. From in there he took out

a scroll with a red lace tied to it. On its cover it's written the kanji for 'eternal' and 'earth'.

"Don't say anything!" Naruto cut off as he saw Sasuke was about to say something. "I'll tell you."

"…"

"Here," Naruto pointed at the scroll, "It's probably the eternal jutsu," Naruto started, "I stole it from Baa-chan's office."

"Eternal jutsu?"

Naruto nodded enthusiastically, "Yes! Yes, it's the infamous eternal youth jutsu that makes Baa-chan still youth looking."

"Dobe…" Sasuke shook his head in disbelief. Sure he knew that Naruto was idiot, but he never thought Naruto was more idiot than he thought. What was he thinking messing with Tsunade like that? "You have to return it immediately. Tsunade will surely kill you when she finds out."

Naruto grunted, "I know that and I will surely return it. But before that I want to try it first."

"Now hold on, Naruto." Sasuke looked at the blonde seriously. "Are you really sure that scroll is, as you put it, the eternal youth jutsu? I don't think it is. Otherwise, she wouldn't let the scroll get stolen so easily like that. Let alone by YOU. It's a rare and legendary jutsu after all."

"Tch, of course it is." Naruto retorted back heatedly. "I'm not lying, Sasuke-teme! I overheard Tsunade-Baa chan and Shizune-nee chan when they were talking about it!"

"Dobe, I don't think-"

"Geez, Teme, you're talking too much this time." Naruto glared. "I am not a kid anymore. I know what I am doing!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Yeah, right." He said sarcastically.

"Listen, I'll just try the jutsu, perform its hand signs. Then, I'll return it."

Sasuke was still unsure with Naruto's decision but he kept his mouth shout this time. By the look of pure determination in Naruto's eyes, nothing he said could make that blonde back down.

"Here we go…" Naruto untied the scroll, "If this scroll is really the eternal youth justsu, you should try it too, Sasuke."

"Hell no."

"Geez, you're not cool! Isn't it great to not getting old like Tsunade Baa-chan? You will be good looking forever. I bet Hinata chan will be very happy if I am looking handsome forever."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I think you're forgetting the fact that you are NOT handsome in the first place."

"Shut up, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto scowled, "Someday, when we're sixty or seventy, if this jutsu really worked, it is me who will have fan girls chasing me while you'd be all wrinkled and bald."

Sasuke scoffed at that. Naruto surely had no idea what a nightmare to have all those fan girls ogling all over him. He sighed, "Naruto, listen-"

"Please, Sasuke! I don't want to hear any more words!"

"Hn!"

"That's better, Sasuke Teme!" Naruto nodded at his best friend before then focused his gaze seriously to the scroll on his hand. Slowly, and carefully, he unrolled the scroll. His eyes were wide as he took in each hand sign shown there. "Hmm, it's not very complicated…" He muttered.

After making sure that he memorized all the hand signs, Naruto put the scroll on the ground, ready to perform it. "Well, there's no guarantee I will be successful on the first attempt, but at least I've memorized the signs, I could perfect it later. This time is just to try it out. It's harmless." The blonde nodded to himself.

"This is it!" Naruto quickly perform the seal. It wasn't even a minute when he finished all the moves.

"…"

"…"

A bead of sweat rolled down Naruto's forehead as he anxiously waited for the effect or strange sensation that he thought he would feel after performing the justsu; while Sasuke remained watching with his stoic face though deep in his heart he was so curious and a bit err…worried. They both didn't dare to move, waiting for something to happen.

1 second…2 second…3 second… ten second…

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

There's no change. "Guess I didn't do it right…" Naruto muttered, frowning.

Just about the time Sasuke would said his usual 'hn', suddenly some purple fog emanating from Naruto's body. Both Naruto and Sasuke's eyes were widened in shock. Especially Naruto, he's beginning to panick now.

"Whoaa, what happens?" Naruto shrieked as the fog thickening and engulfing both him and Sasuke.

Sasuke closed his eyes and activated his sharingan so that he could see his surrounding that engulfed with the thick fog. Just that there's a 'zip' sound and he felt electricity struck his body and hot wave streamed all over it. Naruto's cry 'Aaaaaah!' was the last thing he heard before he collapsed to the ground.

Sasuke's eyes fluttered open. He blinked several times before finally raised himself and sitting on the ground. He frowned as he recalled the event that happened earlier. Naruto performed the jutsu on that scroll he stole from Tsunade then there was a purple fog, a 'zip' sound followed by electricity struck his body.

'What the hell has happened?' Sasuke sat up and rubbed his temple when he heard someone groaned. 'Surely it's Naruto! Perhaps the Dobe also collapsed.'

Sasuke turned his heard to the direction of the groan. There he was, he saw a very good looking raven haired young man, who was now trying to straighten his body up.

'Eh?' His eyes nearly popped out of their socket as he recognized the figure before him. Raven haired young man? Naruto didn't have raven hair. It's him who was raven-haired! He quickly looked down to his body. And he almost fainted once again as he saw the black-orange jumpsuit covering his body now. No way! It couldn't be happening! It must be a dream or more likely a NIGHTMARE!

"NO!" At the same time, he heard 'his' voice screamed. He turned around again to meet 'his onyx eyes' stared in shock toward him. Uh oh, it's NOT JUST A NIGHTMARE.

"Teme, what is this?" Naruto asked panicked. "HOW COULD I BE IN YOUR BODY?"

Not even a 'hn' could escape Sasuke's mouth.
