Younger Days: Retrieval

"Now boys, you know your mission, correct?" Tsunade asked, rubbing her head. Shikamaru, Neji, and Sasuke nodded to her, standing still and obediant. But the last person in the line, the thick-headed Naruto, was just leaning back looking at the ceiling, very zoned out. But a heel to the toes, courtesy of Shikamaru, brought him back to reality. "Yeah yeah, whatever, why were we gathered here?" he asked, as if they had just gotten there. Everyone else in the room sighed and starred at the clueless boy. "Naruto, you are a complete moron. So listen up, this is the last time I’m repeating this" She said, clearing her throat and standing.

"Now, as you four may know, four female ninjas have gone missing. It has recently been discovered, thanks to two ANBU soldiers that were ound at an abandoned hut, that they were kidnapped by a man in a bakc cloak. But, before they could say more, they mysteriously died. So, We are sending you four out to the barrier around the Fire country, where we think he is holding them. We want you to survey the upper barrier for two weeks before returning. Do you understand?" she asked, looking over to Naruto.

Naruto was still standing there, but his head was lolled to the side, and a sleep bubble was coming out of his nose. He was obviously asleep. And not listening was a biiig pet peeve of Tsunade. So much so that her face resembled that of a tomato as she lifted her hand, which promptly turned into a fist. A fist that was delivered straight into the face of the sleeping blonde. And, long story short, Naruto had to be waken up from the next office over, which he got to the hard way...

But that was a few days ago. Now they were still traveling through the woods, having left only hours after they were given the mission. They were stil an hour or two away from the official borderline of the Fire Country, but that wasn’t important. Each member of this four man squad where determined to get the ninja’s of this village back. But, deep down, each of them knew it was more than that. They knew that, deep down, there was more then just a a partnership attraction between them and the girls. Much more...

Shikamaru was the first to see the break in the trees, signalling the border end. "Three hundred feet ahead is the end. Should we set up camp?" he asked, looking back to Neji, who was the squadron leader. He nodded, and they moved forward to the stopping point, landing on the ground in front of the giant forst that surrounds the Hidden LEaf village.

It was strange. Once they passed the last tree of the forest, it was like there was a vibration that went through their body. They shook it off, thinking it was just a jump in nerves. Little did they know, that simple vibration meant more then that...

They were finally home. Sayo had traveled to many places, in many countries, but he only called one place home. And the group of them were standing in front of it.

It was in the perfect location. It was always dark, twent-four hours a day. And the moon seemed to always be right above them. Maybe that was why it was called the Hidden Moon Village... It was not a part of the official Ninja Village guild, as it had long ties with renegade villians and links with countless kidnappings, torturing, and slaughters.Basicaally, the perfect place for Sayotoki. But it also helped that his brother led the village...

He moved them forward to a small mansion. His home. He opened the front door and led them all in, closing it behind them. "Hinata and TenTen get the front rooms, as they will probably fuss the most. Ino and Sakura can go in the back" he said, walking off to his personal control room. Aya nodded and began moving them to the designated locations.

____________________________

It had already begun. Once he walked into the control room, the surveliance screens had been turned on. All four of them. They were wirelessly connected to traveling surveliance system, that were programmed to get as close as possible without the awareness on the subjects it was watching.Currently, it was positioned in the trees above a campsite, where four Konoha ninja’s were camped out. He watched them for a second, before he turned away, a dastardly smile playing across his lips. "They shall find out what happens when you cross onto my territory" he said, leaving the room, what needed to be done already activated...

Naruto’s stomach grumbled. Loudly. He was hungry, but he couldn’t understand why. He had eaten only a few hours before, and his stomach was set to only grumble at breakfast, lunch, and dinner time. He leaned back, letting out a sigh. "I’m hungry" he stated to everyone else around the campfire. They all looked at him for a second. Not a witty retort was heard, just the sighs of the other three. They too were in the same position, all mysteriously starving. "I’m going to go get us something to eat" Sasuke said, standing.

There was one difference on the boy that the other three noted apon. Sasuke’s legs an arms seemed a bit thin, and his clothes seemed to sag, most notably in the waist area, where he was holding his pants up slightly. They decided to say nothing, not wanting to bother him while he hunted for nutrition. He turned and jumped away, able to move much faster and swifter than usual. But he ignored it; Hunger came first.

"I’m goin to go lay down" Naruto said, standing an stretching, rolling up his sleeves a bit. He walked into his tent, going to change into something to sleep in. He took off his jacket, sighing. ’Man, I really am hungry. My chest feels heavier then my stomach!’ he said, not bothering to even look down to see why. He pulled down his pants, feeling something different. He looked down, surveying the scene. Evething his legs looked... slim... And his feet were so... Small... And his private area. Was...

"OH MY GOD!" came the frantic yell, as Naruto ran out from his tent, looking at the other two. But wasn’t Naruto. His once spiky hair was now long and flowng down his back. He was no long short, but long and slender. In basic terms, he was now Naruko, the female version of himself. "What in the hell is going on?!?"he yelled to the other two, before actually looking at them, and seeing that they hnad their own problems...

Shikamaru sat off to the side, blushing. His ponytail was less like a pineapple, now looking like a real girl’s hairdo, to go along with his own slim figure. This overhe had was now buttoned up, tp hide the mesh shirt he had underneath, which now showed everything people wanted to know about his gender...

Neji seemed to be the most changed. He no longer looked like the strong, noble Hyuuga warrior. He actually looked like the teenage version of Hanabi, Hinata’s little sister. His forehead protect now lay around his neck, not big enough to sit on his forehead. And the robes that he wore now seemed very loose on him, as he was now taking a large piece of cloth and wrapping it around his stomach to hold some up, now making him look like he was wearing a kimono...

They all stared at each other for what seemed like an hour, completely speechless. What could be said? They were all, sadly, female now.But before they could say anything at all, there was a rusling in the bushes. They all jumped up in fighting positions, only to see raven haired girl land in front of them. It took ly a second to figure out that even the legendary Uchiha prodigy was effected. His emo haircut turned into flowing black hair, and his black outfit did nothing but show off his new figure. He walked up, scratching his head. "You too, huh?" he asked, his voice now higher pitched and smooth. "Yeah" the other three replied in unision, their voicesv all effected in the same way. Before a discussion started, the fire they were sitting around earlier exploded, revealing a tall, male figure, made of smoke.

"Hello, my young female companions" the figure said, "My name is Sayotoki. As you might have figured out, I have done this to you. D not argue with me, as I am just an illusion, and connot hear you. But I tell you this. If you want to be returned to normal, you all must get to my Village witrhin four days. But you must hurry, for every dayyou lose, you lose a member of your squadron. This competition begins tomorrow at sunrise. Good luck" At the end, the moke simply raised into the air, his image gone.

"... So, what do you want to do now?" Naruto asked, turning to the rest of his femenized team. These next four days were going to be the hardest of their entire life...

Alright my friends, I am back, and ready to write. I am on Summer Break, so I have all time on my hands. I am even taking requests. The requirements are that it must make sense, it can involve an anime, but if it does, I have to have heard of it, and the victim must be female. And I also want a trade for the story you request, like a picture, another story, or something of that value. Send your requests to blacksamuri@hotmail.com
