Chapter 1: Awakening from a long dream

Naruto woke up to the sight of Sasuke standing before him, protecting him from the numerous senbon that were now lodged in his body and neck. As Naruto rose, the Uchiha fell. Naruto met the heir halfway and caught him.

"What happened?" Naruto yelled.

"I don't know...My body just moved on its own..." the Uchiha gasped through the pain, "I hated you..." Naruto remained silent as he realized Sasuke had taken a fatal blow for him. "Don't lose to him Naruto...I always thought that it would be Itachi that k..." Sasuke stopped mid word. His face relaxed, as did his body, which already started to become cooler.

"Right until the end," the masked ninja said from his mirrors, "he protected you right till the end. He was a true ninja."

"Shut up!" Naruto growled as he stood up over his friend's body. Blue chakra whipped around him furiously for a moment before it was taken over by blazing blood red chakra and turned into a wild pyre of chakra. Haku's demonic mirrors shook and screamed in protest of the chakra the boy was releasing. The ground was ripped apart. For the briefest of moments, it seemed Naruto's form warped but it stopped a moment later. Haku was about to leave his mirror to attack Naruto when nine spears of the evil red chakra lanced out at the mirrors.

No, they weren't spears of chakra.

They were chakra tails.

Kakashi, Zabuza and Sakura felt Sasuke's chakra fade. The next chakra change was felt by everyone, even Tazuna, as an incredible spike of violent, evil chakra surged from the same spot Naruto's chakra had been a moment before.

'Did Sensei's seal break? Did Kyūbi free itself from Naruto?' Kakashi thought before the chakra rose to even higher levels and the area seemed to detonate. Zabuza's mist was blown away, pieces of chakra filled ice flying from the blast zone; the place the masked ninja had attacked the boys. Everyone looked back to the sight of what used to be a dome of ice mirrors.

One lone, cracked mirror stood until Haku stepped out, then it fell over and shattered. He looked at the boy he had been fighting and his eyes widened beneath his mask.

Naruto was indeed standing there still, but his once blonde hair had turned rust red color and hung down below his waist. His short form was replaced by a taller, more slender body. His hands were thinner and more delicate, as was his neck, shoulders, arms and...everything. His nails were long and sharp. When they saw his face, they realized their mistake. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of deep purple and the whiskers were gone.

"What-" Haku gasped. Suddenly, Naruto vanished in a blur, only to reappear as he slammed his fist into Haku's face hard enough to send the boy flying backwards. The mask was destroyed and his arm were broken when Haku bounced off the ground and came to a stop. He was injured badly and was still alive, but he wouldn't be moving properly for a while.

Kakashi's eyes widened at that display. 'That was Sensei's Hiraishin no Jutsu! Without the kunai or a seal...How?' Even Zabuza was stunned into staying still.

After seeing who it was behind the mask, Naruto growled and turned to Zabuza. He stomped over to the man as dreadful KI flared repeatedly at the swordsman like a hurricane on a small town. "He fights for you. He would kill for you. He would DIE for you," Naruto said as he drew closer, "and you treat him that way!"

Zabuza glared at the transformed genin, wondering why he felt like cowering in fear. "Ninja's are weapons to be used by the Kage, the Daimyo, their superiors and anyone who can pay the price for them. We are living tools that are thrown away after we are no longer useful," Zabuza stated as he pushed down the annoying fear within him. 'He...SHE is just a genin,' he reasoned to himself.

When Zabuza completed that thought, Naruto hiraishined and headbutted Zabuza in his stomach hard enough to make the missing-nin stagger off balance. Before he could recover, a pair of kunai were slammed in both his arms, disabling them. He looked at Kakashi, the one who had done this to him. "Sharingan Kakashi...You will-"

"I guess it's finally time."

Everyone present looked to see Gato had arrived and he wasn't alone. About a hundred people, all thugs or bandits of some sort, were standing behind the crime lord.

"Gato? Our deal was that I killed the targets," Zabuza said as he felt the stab of suspicion enter his heart. Something didn't feel right...

"That deal was rubbish right from the start. I normally hire missing-nin like you and the brat so you can weaken yourselves and the enemy ninja, then I wipe you all out with superior numbers," Gato explained, "I call it getting skilled labour for free."

"Kakashi. It seems I no longer have any reason to continue fighting you," Zabuza said as he made his way over to Haku. Naruto appeared between them, her purple eyes flashing with anger. "Out of the way," Zabuza ordered.

"No," Naruto growled. "You are everything to him and you were about to toss him aside because he was beaten once. ONCE! You have no right to go near him again. You are everything to him. Only your opinion matters to him. Without you, he is nothing!"

"Na...ruto..." Haku managed through the pain.

"No! I am telling this guy that he is no better than that bastard Gato!" Naruto roared.

"Kid..." Zabuza mumbled.

"Shut the fuck up! I'm not through with you!" Naruto yelled.

"Kid!" Zabuza snapped. Naruto stopped and looked at the assassin's face, tear streaks staining his face wrappings. "You said enough..."

"What's this? The legendary Demon of the Mist is finding a new way to use water?" Gato mocked, "more like a baby devil if you ask me..."

"Naruto," Zabuza called as he tore apart his face wrappings with his teeth, "give me a kunai." Naruto didn't say anything as she threw a kunai to Zabuza, who caught it in his mouth and proceeded to carve a path through Gato's men with the short blade. Despite getting fatally wounded by countless weapons, he managed to reach Gato and cleaved the man's head off after he promised to torture the greedy man in Hell as a real devil before falling himself.

"Gato-san's dead!"

"Where are we going to get our pay now?"

"Maybe we could take it out of the village...in instalments."

The ninja looked over at the thugs Gato had assembled as they started talking about how much they could get out of the village. Kakashi clenched his wounded hand shut and wished he had a small platoon of ninja to wipe this filth out. Sakura shivered and stumbled back as a bandit looked at her with a lecherous smirk. One of the others mentioned 'breaking' the girls in. Tazuna was tempted to take Sakura's kunai and castrate a few of the men and then kill them.

"You touch Sakura-chan and I'll bite your throats out!" Naruto growled.

The men turned to the girl with almost blood red hair and laughed at her. "A fiery one!" a dirty bandit yelled. "They really go when broken! We can have a field day with her before then!" another cheered.

Naruto's eyes peered out from behind his bangs, pupils reducing to slits as he glared at the men. "I'll show you fire!" he roared. He took a deep breath and the ninja could feel the chakra rotating within his lungs. 'Is he going to use a katon?' Kakashi thought. Naruto fell onto all fours, opening his mouth to release a high pressure stream of fire at the bandits, whose screams lasted but a single moment before them and their ashes were incinerated almost simultaneously. The bridge was also heavily burned and damaged from the fire attack.

Sakura had managed to tear her gaze away from the sudden display of skill and power her supposedly weak teammate had shown and ran to see if Sasuke was alright. Kakashi was so stunned at the extremely high level fire jutsu that he didn't notice the voice until the second time. "Kakashi..."

The former ANBU looked down at Zabuza. "Can I see Haku?" the assassin asked. The young ice user came over as quickly as he could with his broken arm. The Konoha ninja were there as well since nobody, other than Gato and a few choice missing-nin, deserved to die alone.

"Zabuza-san..." Haku gasped as he saw the wounds on his mentor.

"Kid, I'm not going to make it... I just wanted you to know something before I died," Zabuza said.

"I'm sorry I wasn't a useful enough weapon to protect you," Haku whined.

"Don't say that again. You were not and never will be useless," Zabuza took a deep breath, "I was wrong with how I treated you. I always knew in the back of my mind that you were more than my student, more than a friend to me... You were like the brother I never had." He smiled at a memory of Haku creating a snowflake with his ice jutsu and giving it to him, calling it a special shuriken. "I'm going to go to Hell."

"No you aren't! Someone like you won't go where you don't want to go!" Haku protested.

"I do want to go to Hell, but not for what I have done, but to punish the ones who treated you and your clan the way they did. I am going to make sure that they know who my little brother is," the reformed assassin said as he lifted his almost useless arm. Haku took his hand and held it.

"Naruto...Take my sword with you," Zabuza ordered.

"WHAT?" Naruto shrieked, proving that he was still the #1 loudest ninja, possibly even louder than before with the apparent gender change, "I can't even pick the thing up!"

"I don't really care if you use it as a post to grow a bean stalk, I just don't want some dumbass getting it. Take it and mount it on your wall or something," Zabuza said with a smirk.

"Fine?" Naruto went over to the sword and, surprisingly to even himself, picked it up with both his hands. "What the hell? Is this thing hollow?"

Zabuza chuckled at Naruto's confusion. "Take care of that brat Haku. She has insane jutsu and chakra levels, but absolutely nothing in the way of skill. She's a real ninja, just like you." Haku nodded and everyone stayed silent as Zabuza spent his last moments looking at his adopted brother. The citizens of the village showed up and most were shocked that everything was calm. Even more shocking was Naruto's new appearance. Sakura suddenly shrieked since it turned out Sasuke was only put into a very temporary death.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and eye smiled. "At least it seems your pants still fit."

Naruto scratched at the back of his head, not noticing he was now in female form. He got a nice dose of reality when his pants fell down, no longer finding proper support on his now slender hips. His jacket and boxers (thank Kami for elastics!) covered everything important, but didn't guard against a light breeze as he squealed and put his hands down to help block against the wind. The sight of this caused a number of men to sport nosebleeds and/or blushes, which resulted in them sleeping on the couch for a while. Kakashi was happy for his mask since it hid the light blush he had. The spectacle reminded him of a scene from Icha Icha Paradise: Volume 3. Chapter seven, page forty three. Ion-chan was so naughty for that scene...

It had taken a week for Sasuke's body to heal enough for him to hobble around quickly enough for them to leave, which was convenient since it took that long for the village to get the bridge finished with a very heavily reinforced workforce. It also took that long for Naruto a few days to get over being a girl. He had tried several times to cancel the Oiroke, but it seemed it wasn't that perverted jutsu. Kakashi figured it was the fox's doing. He smiled behind his mask at the memory of when Naruto had first gone to the bathroom. Tsunami and Sakura rushing in to help the poor redhead out, who kept screaming about 'it' being gone.

"Naruto-nee!" Inari shouted as tears threatened to flow down his face like mini waterfalls. He had adjusted quickly to Naruto being a girl.

Naruto's face was an almost exact copy. "You can cry if you want to Inari."

Inari smiled. "You can too. It's okay for girls to cry."

Naruto turned around quickly, her hair looking like a quick flit of dull flame for a moment. "See ya later." Instead of being cool, Naruto was bawling the same way Inari was.

'Are they twins?' Sakura thought, then rushed over to Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun, maybe I can help take care of you while you get better?"

"Why don't you try something wondrously new for you instead, like training!" the ever arrogant Uchiha suggested before putting a bit of distance between himself and his fan girl. Naruto, now with a tighter belt, popped up next to her. "Ignore him. Let's go and have ramen when we get back." He gave Sakura his trademark smile, female version.

She rounded on Naruto in a flash. "Not now, not ever!" WHACK! Naruto staggered back till he fell over from the shot to his nose, which released a steady stream of blood. Kakashi, recognizing a broken nose when he saw it, went to go fix it when the bleeding suddenly slowed. He confirmed that it had already healed.

Sakura stopped and realized she had gone too far, but the slitted pupils of Naruto caused her to flinch as the rust haired genin scampered away from his teammates and hid behind their sensei. The look in Naruto's eyes was one that sent a chill down Sakura's spine. It was the same look that the now female genin had given a few people in the past, people like Gato. His eyes were flat and the color had paled, they were filled with anger. The worst thing is that those eyes were locked on Sakura and Sasuke.

"What did you do that for?" Kakashi asked, anger evident in his voice. The strikes to the back of Naruto's head had been acceptable since very little damage could have resulted from those light punches, but the punch to the nose could have killed the recently changed genin at the right angles, especially with Sakura's strength. Being one of Naruto's ANBU guardians in the past had put some protective instinct in him when it came to the former blond.

"I-I-I'm sorry. He just..." Sakura trailed off when she realized she had no excuse for her recent assault on Naruto. She just hung her head and walked ahead of her sensei and teammate as they made the journey back. It was mostly quiet, just the jōnin and rust haired genin chatting about her perverted jutsu, which she could still use. The glare from Haku was one that Sakura could do without.

Back in Konoha, the boys seemed to vanish within moments of passing through the gates. Sakura had searched for her teammates, to check up on Sasuke and try to repair the damage to the friendship between her and Naruto. Since both were missing, she went home.

"Hello honey," Haruno Kaori, Sakura's mother called from the kitchen. She popped out and smiled at her daughter. "How are things with the Uchiha?"

Sakura sighed as she flopped onto the couch. "He got hurt on our last mission and is even worse than before."

Kaori sighed as well. "If only boys would grow up as fast as girls... Maybe then you could get his attention faster."

Sakura thought for a few moments and then decided to say it. "I broke Naruto's nose after the mission..." She wasn't proud of it, but she wanted to hear her mother's opinion on the matter. She knew her father would have secretly scolded her for her actions towards Naruto, but he was on a year long business trip and wouldn't be back for almost eight months.

"Really?" the woman asked. Sakura nodded. "Not the best idea, but maybe it will wake him up from his fantasy a little quicker," the older woman said. "Letting him become a ninja was not the best idea. I don't know why the Hokage allowed him to become a ninja. He is rude, untalented, loud and disliked by everyone for some reason. I guess the Hokage is just humouring the boy."

Sakura shivered while remembering how some adults had told her Naruto was a no good kid that wouldn't amount to anything. Worst of all, Sakura had believed it all. 'It isn't true though. If it weren't for Naruto, all of us, Kakashi-sensei, me, Tazuna-san, Tsunami-san, Inari-kun, the villagers and...Sasuke-kun would all be dead.'

Kaori frowned to herself. 'It doesn't take a genius to guess who his father was. I mean really, just draw six lines on the Yondaime's picture and that is Naruto in the future. What was the Hokage thinking? If Iwa catches wind of Naruto, they'll attack us again to kill him. The boy should be protected or given special training to defend himself, not what those 'teachers' taught him at the academy. I wish I knew why everyone hated him. Could it be that they still fear Iwa?'

[Unknown area]

Sasuke couldn't believe the garbage that the man had just tried to feed him. Naruto had defeated the masked boy Haku, helped stop Zabuza, then burned a small army of bandits and raiders down with a single katon.

"You're wrong," Sasuke insisted.

"I am sorry, but it is true Sasuke-kun," the one eyed councillor, Shimura Danzō stated, "my own spies witnessed the feat. It also appears that his gender has temporarily flipped."

"His gender flipped?" Sasuke asked.

"We aren't sure about how, but he had assumed a female form with rust colored hair before doing this," Danzo was cheering in his mind, knowing Sasuke would force himself towards Sharingan faster to surpass the Kyūbi. 'Hiruzen actually helped me by keeping it alive all these years and allowing it to become a ninja. I can already feel two new Sharingan being implanted in my arm. Of course, Sasuke-kun will have to kill the demon first, then die from the wounds he received from the demon child.'

Sasuke remembered seeing Naruto as a girl, but assumed the fool had been trying to see how long his insane chakra reserves could hold his idiotic jutsu. He remembered how Kakashi and an ANBU had taken Naruto off to the Hokage's Tower right after returning to Konoha. Why go so far for a dobe?

[Hokage's Tower]

"Excuse me?" Naruto asked as he sat in a chair facing the Hokage. In the next chair was Kakashi and his one visible eye was opened to the limit and his face was almost as pale as his hair.

Hiruzen sighed and lit up his pipe. "You are not really Uzumaki Naruto. He was still born on that night thirteen years ago. You were adopted into the Uzumaki clan and raised as him to protect you from various dangers."

The now nameless kunoichi shot up, her purple eyes wide with confusion and anger. "Who the hell am I then?"

Hiruzen looked at the safeties in the room, making sure all were properly in place and functioning. "This is the greatest secret in Konoha, the only one to be listed as an SSS-Class secret."

"SSS-Class?" Kakashi asked. He had never heard of such a thing.

"S-Class secrets are known by council members, Hokage, some civilians and ninja. They are punishable by visiting Ibiki for a few hours and the desire to not want to speak of the secret again. SS-Class secrets are known to the Hokage, council members and select ninja, unless the people were involved in the original incident. It is punishable by death to speak openly of the secret. A SSS-Class secret is known only by me and anyone who I believe needs to know of it. If another person knew of it and spoke, they would die after spending a very, very long time in a very small cell with sound proofing, chakra seals etched all over their bodies, a silencing seal on their throat, no light and horrible food," Hiruzen explained.

Kakashi gulped, noting that a quick death was preferable to the slow, silent rot that had just been described. "What is the secret?"

Hiruzen released a humourless chuckle. "The villagers already know it, sort of. They called our young lady here the Kyūbi or the Kyūbi's child. If only they knew how right they were..." The kunoichi's tilted head told the old man she was drawing a blank. Not the most uncommon occurrence. "You are the Kyūbi."

A/N~

I can't think of anything to say here.
