Forgotten Events: Memory I

Event 01: Poke

"Why do you always poke me on the forehead? I'm your little brother, don't you like me?" Little Sasuke asked.

"I poke you because I care... I guess you wouldn't remember," Itachi replied.

The young Uchiha boy smiled and repeated his name once again for his little brother. "Itachi," he said it slowly pausing after every syllable "I-ta-chi."

The baby sitting on the floor in front of him giggled. "Achi!" He cheerfully squealed. "Achi! Achi!" He extended his little arms towards his older brother waiting to be picked up.

"You can't even say my name right," Itachi smiled amused. "You sound like you're sneezing when you try to say my name, little Sasuke." He sat down on the floor near his baby brother.

"Achi!" The baby boy repeated happily. It was the first word he had ever said. As their first word most kids say 'mom' or 'dad' or a variant of those words like 'mama' or 'papa', but not Sasuke. The first person Sasuke identified with a word was his brother Itachi aka 'Achi'. He picked up a plastic toy kunai and threw it at his older brother hitting him on the forehead.

The kunai bounced off Itachi's forehead and fell on the floor next to him. "That's not very nice." It wasn't long before his baby brother picked up another toy, this time a plastic shuriken, and repeated the action. "Sasuke, don't do that," Itachi tried to make him stop.

"Achi!" Baby Sasuke giggled and continued throwing everything he could get his little hands on at his brother. The little guy could throw pretty hard for a baby.

"Seriously Sasuke, you need to stop doing that" Itachi's tone wasn't as soft as before, now he sounded annoyed.

Sasuke wasn't sure what was going on but he knew he did something wrong. He didn't want his brother to be upset so he did the only thing he could think of to make things better. He crawled to Itachi and gave him a hug.

Itachi couldn't help it but to smile as every hint of annoyance quickly disappeared from his face. He hugged his baby brother back and suddenly his world seemed perfect. Regardless of the pressure he felt being the Uchiha heir who was pushed to be perfect. Even if he was never given any room to make mistakes and even if the pressure would eventually break him, at least for now he had his little brother. Sasuke was just a baby but Itachi felt he understood him better than anyone else ever could.

Then unexpectedly Sasuke picked up the little kunai toy and hit Itachi on the forehead with it as hard as he could.

"Sasuke!" Itachi rubbed his forehead and looked at the smiling face of his baby brother. "I guess that means you care."

Event 02: Summoning Jutsu!

Jiraiya, still young, stood facing his teammate and rival Orochimaru. At the time the three ninjas still called Sarutobi their sensei. "Get ready to face the boss toad. This time my summing will be incredible!" Jiraiya he flipped his long white hair and made a pose.

Orochimaru slowly shook his head. "We'll see who wins," he spoke in a quiet snake-like voice.

"Summoning Jutsu!" Both young men shouted at the same time as the palm of their hands crashed into the ground in front of them. A surge of energy was felt and the chakra grew strong. The summoning was a success... kind of.

They both paused and stared at what they had summoned. "Why don't we do this tomorrow? It's clear we both need a break," Jiraiya offered.

Orochimaru did not agree. Although his summoning wasn't what he had expected he was certain he could beat what Jiraiya had summoned. "No, this fight will continue right now!"

"Wow! What amazing summons!" A third voice was heard. That voice belonged to a woman. Tsunade approached riding on a gigantic slog.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru both glared at her. Somehow they knew she had something to do with their summonings coming out all wrong. "What did you do?" Jiraiya asked.

Tsunade grinned. "I'm not telling. It's a secret... Oh and Orochimaru, Anko was looking for you earlier. I'll let her know where you are."

Before Orochimaru could complain and threaten to kill Tsunade should she dare to reveal his location, a forth voice was heard. "Orochimaru!" The voice was high pitched like a squeal and it terrified even the creepy snake dude.

He knew without turning around to look that the voice belonged to Anko. She was approaching rapidly. "Alright Jiraiya we'll have our fight tomorrow." As soon as those words were spoken, Orochimaru dashed away running for dear life.

"Orochimaru! Where are you going? Wait up!" Anko called hot on his heals.

With a desperate look in his purple eye shadow covered eyes, Orochimaru quickened the pace of his mad dash for safety. How was it possible for a creepy snake dude like him to have a fan girl? It just didn't fit. Why in the world did Anko liked him? He would never understand. Maybe she just had a thing for snakes.

Once the pair was gone, Jiraiya looked at the creatures that had been summoned once again. "Really Tsunade, what did you do?"

She grinned mischievously again. "I told you it's a secret." Tsunade and the slog she had summoned left Jiraiya to continue to stare at the two unlikely summonings.

The young toad sage shook his head. Thinking about it, trying to figure it out was just going to give him a head ache. He started to walk away and glanced just one last time at the summonings. Maybe it wasn't so strange after all. They were a frog and a snake so perhaps it wasn't that unlikely that out of all the possibilities those two would show up.

The frog and the snake watched as they were left alone. "She must have slipped something in their drinks to mess with their chakra and make them summon us," the snake said.

"Yeah, they never take us seriously and summon us intentionally," the frog agreed.

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement then they smiled. Just because their respective masters didn't get along it didn't mean that they couldn't be friends and play until they both poofed back into their own world.

"I'm going to be hokage!" A little boy proudly declared into the wind. He saw two strange animals playing up ahead and blinked. He rubbed his eyes incredulous. "Arbok and Keropi? Wait till my sister hears about this!" Then he energetically ran off, but his sister already knew.

Event 03: Dark Side

The Sound Four have been given their mission by Orochimaru. They were to depart towards the Hidden Leaf village immediately to retrieve Sasuke. They exited the room with apparent intention of departing right away until Jirobo made an interesting suggestion. To embark themselves in such an activity when they were suppose to leave right away would be foolish yet Kidomaru, Tayuya and Sakon had agreed.

They made their way to the indicated place and got the necessary items, then they started the very pleasant process. What they were doing; that was the reason they joined the dark side in the first place. It was so pleasant, so enjoyable, so delicious. During those moments it felt as if their efforts were worth it. A tough path lay head and they wanted to prepare and in what better way than this?

"What are you still doing here?" The items they held were dropped hearing Orochimaru's sudden yelling and the Sound Four scrambled towards the door. Orochimaru looked at the mess they left behind with disapproval. "Kabuto!" He waited a moment for the ninja to answer or arrive but no reply came. "Kabuto!" He called again, this time in a much louder and angrier tone.

Kabuto arrived in a rush. "Yesh, Owochimashu?" He paused and swallowed. "Yes, Orochimaru?" He asked speaking normally now that his mouth wasn't full.

Orochimaru looked absolutely infuriated. "You were doing it too," he accused. If his arms didn't hurt so much he would be pointing his finger at Kabuto to emphasize the accusation.

Kabuto's eyes widened behind his glassed and he shook his head. His silver ponytail danced from side to side a he did.

"Don't lie to me," Orochimaru was angry.

Seeing that Orochimaru's accusing glare did not change after another brief moment of playing innocent, Kabuto lowered his head, "I apologize."

"Never mind, just clean up this mess of milk and cookie crumbles," after giving Kabuto that order Orochimaru left the room.

"Join the dark side, we have cookies," Kabuto sarcastically said while he cleaned up the mess. Cookies were not the most threatening things in the world yet they had such an immense power over people that even the Sound Four felt compelled to have a delicious cookie snack before they left. Orochimaru had mentioned earlier that sometimes he thought Kabuto and the others were only there for the cookies. "Maybe he's right."

Event 04: Best Friends

When you were here...

Recently Sasuke couldn't get his mind of what Itachi had said long ago. To obtain the mangekyo sharingan he had to kill his best friend as Itachi supposedly did. Sasuke knew that, yet he never focused on the idea as much as lately. Perhaps it was because after returning from so many missions together over time, he had started to respect Naruto. He had started to see him as a valuable friend. Maybe it was because he finally had a best friend to kill for power.

Speaking of Naruto, there he was sitting alone at the bridge when Sasuke approached. It felt as if the Hidden Leaf village was deserted save for those two. There were in fact many people, but they were all absorbed in their own business. For a moment, Sasuke considered the thought of eventually having to kill Naruto for power and it just didn't fit. He quietly stood at the bridge next to where Naruto sat.

The blond boy did not turn to face his dark haired friend, but smiled sensing his presence close by.

Sasuke smiled back even if Naruto couldn't see it, or maybe because he couldn't. No, he wouldn't be like Itachi, never. Naruto was too much of a precious friend to let go of. To value friendship, to value the lives of precious people, that was something very different between him and Itachi. He would gain power but he would do it his way.

Naruto looked at Sasuke from the corner of his eyes. He could almost sense that he was troubled, but whatever was bothering him, the Uchiha had apparently sorted it out by himself in just a moment. Smiling once again, Naruto continued to sit in silence.

When you were gone...

Sai was simply unforgivable, Naruto decided that the second he was assigned to Team Kakashi. Yamato was entirely different. He was there to fill Kakashi's position while the copy ninja recovered. Yamato was there to help and support them on a mission; he was not there to try to take anyone's place.

Sai on the other hand, dared to try to replace Sasuke, an irreplaceable friend. Sai could insult Naruto, he could be rude and vulgar, but nothing that he could say would measure up to the offence of trying to steal Sasuke's place.

Sai could attack, he could betray, he could abandon his allies to death or bring death upon them, and if that ally happened to be only Naruto, he could forgive. But the nine tails fox's host could not forgive an offense to his friends. If Sai directed his attacks at Naruto, that could be forgiven, but never at his friends.

Sai was not directly attacking Sasuke, not that he would stand a chance. He was not directly saying he was a replacement, not that he ever could be. Yet he implied it. He implied it to the point where Sakura obviously noticed and even saw similarities between the two.

Naruto was upset. He was quick to correct Sakura and remind her of who Sasuke was. Cool, amazing, Sasuke Uchiha, their friend and team mate, the irreplaceable Sasuke.

One day they would get him back. Then when Sasuke returned and joined them on missions once again, just like before, Sai would be gone from the team. Or maybe, just maybe, he would be allowed to stay for a little while, just so he could see the amazing ninja that Sasuke was. Just so he could know from experience that he could never measure up, let alone replace him.

Even if Sasuke had left the Hidden Leaf village, he would always be a part of their team. Even if he fought Naruto, he would always be a dear friend. Naruto had promised to bring Sasuke back and he would. Because he was irreplaceable, that much Naruto knew for sure.

When I heard from you...

Time passed and Naruto started to get along with Sai, but even if they became friends, he still missed Sasuke. He had developed new jutsus, some for battle and some for his amusement when he trained with Konohamaru. Finally, one day he heard that Sasuke had defeated Orochimaru. Then Naruto was on a journey again, to find his precious friend.

Event 05: Orochimaru's Request

The swirls of colors danced around her endlessly as Tayuya of the Sound Four struggled to get to her feet. Her head hurt like she never thought it could and she thought she knew what real pain was before. Her heart pounded irregularly and she remembered his request.

"Tayuya, I have a request for you. Only for you," Orochimaru had said.

At first Tayuya was happy to hear those words. She would have her own mission without the others. It was her moment to shine. She held her aching head and tried to blink the blur out of her eyes as her memories continued to flood her mind.

"This is a very special request, it is a request meant for a woman to accomplish. That is why I will direct my request to you," Orochimaru explained.

Tayuya lifted her head grimly and folded her trembling fingers around the bottle of sake. She doubted the sake would ease her headache and general body pains, but at least it would erase those memories, if only temporarily. That was her aim but it wasn't working, even with the sake's full effect hitting her harshly, she still remembered his request and the events that followed oh too clearly.

"Are you ready to do anything for me Tayuya?" Orochimaru asked.

Without hesitation Tayuya answered. "Of course Orochimaru-sama, anything!" Her stomach twisted and she felt an inexplicable surge of nervousness. It was a bad omen.

"Well then I will tell you what I want." He approached and she instinctively backed away. Her action was completely unconscious and she didn't notice she was stepping back until she felt her back against a wall. "What's wrong?"

"No-nothing," Tayuya stammered. "It's nothing Orochimaru-sama. What is your request?" Her voice came as a hushed whisper and for that she mentally kicked herself. She must have sounded like an idiot, but she couldn't help it but to feel odd. With every fiber of her being, she could sense that something terrible was to come.

"You're pale and sweating," Orochimaru observed.

Tayuya swallowed, took a deep breath and tried to calm her erratic heartbeats. What in the world was wrong with her? Sure she had heard about people feeling that way before a disaster struck, but never in her life had the feeling of a disastrous premonition hit her in such a way. Something bad was going to happen, she was certain of it. "I'm fine Orochimaru-sama." She moved her mouth and willed her throat to produce sound, but what came out was hardly audible.

"Tayuya, are you sick?" A third voice was heard.

Tayuya nearly jumped out of skin, but managed not to show it in the least. "I'm alright." It took an inhuman effort to make those words reach a decent volume.

"We will depart for the Village Hidden in the Leaves shortly after this request I have for you is accomplished. This is exactly what I need to prepare for the battle that is to come. If you're feverish let Kabuto heal you," Orochimaru suggested. Obviously he didn't care about her safety. He just wanted to make sure his ninjas were strong and ready for battle. "Perhaps Kabuto can accomplish the special request."

Kabuto took a moment to understand what Orochimaru was talking bout. His eyes widened and his expression made it clear that he found that special request to be quite unpleasant. "You know I would do anything for you Orochimaru-sama, but I do believe that this mission will be better accomplished by a woman." Kabuto approached Tayuya and looked at her. What little light there was in the room shone in the surface of his glasses as he nodded and shared his medical conclusion, "you're alright, just take a deep breath and compose yourself."

Tayuya took a breathed deeply and told herself to be brave. She was acting like a child; she was a ninja and had to be more adult than this. Tayuya nodded to herself, surely her messed up past was much more painful than anything that Orochimaru could request of her. "Orochimaru-sama, whatever your request is, allow me to do it." So it was decided.

Now Tayuya found herself drunken and in pain, as if every cell in her body was crying out for mercy yet receiving none. Then out of nowhere an angel of hope appeared.

"Hey lady, that eye shadow you're wearing, where did you get it?" Tayuya was certain that the entire bar had heard her and she didn't care. Orochimaru sent her out to buy purple eye shadow and she had wasted the day wandering around searching for it. The stores had blue, pink, black, green, yellow, brown, silver and every other color except purple. She was so exhausted and ashamed to fail such a simple mission that she crawled into a bar and drowned her sorrow in her sake. Now she saw a woman arrive to order a drink from the bartender and she was wearing the shade of eye shadow that Tayuya was searching for. She simply couldn't return to Orochimaru's lair without it.

"Do you like it? I'm a traveling merchant, I sell makeup. The purple eye shadow unfortunately doesn't sell well, so I wear it myself, that way it won't go to waste," the woman replied.

"Then you must still have a lot left? I'll buy all of it!" In her happiness to end her mission, Tayuya didn't have the heart or the chakra to steal the makeup.

A little later Tayuya arrived at Orochimaru's lair with the eye shadow and delivered it to him. Of course it was a mission meant for a woman, because women did not get weird looks when they bought makeup. Since she had purchased so much, the makeup merchant lady gave Tayuya a big jar of purple body glitter for free. Although she accepted it, she made sure to hide it well. She really didn't want Orochimaru to get a hold of it and develop a liking for it. Ah the things she did for their insane mutant evil leader.

Event 06: Karma

It was rather late one night and Jiraiya, at the time still very young, was heading home from training. "Jiraiya," a female voice called. The white haired teenager immediately knew it was his teammate Tsunade who had spoken. "Jiraiya, come over here," she called, not too loudly. It wasn't necessary to raise her voice to be heard in the quiet of the night. This would have been different had it been day time when the streets were busy with people and merchants.

Jiraiya looked in the direction where the voice came from. It was a rather dark corner and in the faint light of a crescent moon, he could only make out three figures. One of them he knew was Tsunade. The other two he couldn't identify but could tell they were female. His mind went over a list of names of Tsunade's friends and he soon had a pretty good idea who the two girls standing left and right from Tsunade were.

"Come over here," Tsunade spoke once again.

Suddenly Jiraiya was unsure. He really didn't think he should walk into the dark corner. As a ninja he was brave, but there was a big difference between being brave and being suicidal. "Why?" He cautiously asked.

"Come over here," Tsunade repeated. Tsunade was holding something. The other girls were holding items too. They moved their hands from the items and then to their mouths.

Jiraiya froze. Surely they were eating something that would make them super strong, as if Tsunade needed something like that. She was already freakishly strong in his opinion. Surely they wanted him to walk into a trap. They wanted to capture him in their dark corner and beat him up. He would be left in an unconscious bloody puddle should he go near them. His legs felt like pudding and were having trouble sustaining his weight. He willed them to move and run away, to carry him to safety, but they refused.

"Come over here Jiraiya," Tsunade insisted.

Jiraiya gulped. Ninjas did not back down from challenges. He approached slowly until he was close enough to see the item Tsunade was holding out to him despite the darkness.

"Want some?" She innocently asked holding out a piece of cake in a little plastic dish with a plastic fork stabbed into it.

Jiraiya blinked and took a deep breath. He was relieved to see Tsunade and her friends weren't planning an ambush, they just want to share their cake. "Sure!" Jiraiya took the cake and glanced at the girls who grinned mischievously.

As if fearing they would be discovered Tsunade and her friends made up excuses and left. The next day would be fun.

For the next few minutes Jiraiya walked around staring at his cake. The girls were eating slices that looked like they came from the same cake before so it couldn't be poisoned. Unless Tsunade had the antidote and give it to her friends already, or maybe it just didn't work on girls for some reason. Jiraiya didn't know, but the piece of cake looked suspicious although very appetizing. He sat in a park bench and placed the little plastic plate with the slice of cake beside him. He contemplated the stars for a moment and wondered what he should do. Soon a decision was made, he would stop being such a coward and eat that cake!

When Jiraiya turned his head to look at the cake he found only the empty plastic plate with a few crumbs. A tongue placed the plastic fork back on the plate and quickly hid in the mouth of its owner. "Orochimaru!" Jiraiya scolded, "that was mine!"

"You didn't look like you were going to eat it," Orochimaru made his escape, leaving a very annoyed Jiraiya in the park.

The next day Jiraiya saw Tsunade and her friends from the previous night at the park. "Ew!" One of them complained

"This is no fun!" The other said.

Tsunade rolled up a piece of newspaper and hit Orochimaru on the head. "Bad! You're supposed to fetch the ball and bring it back, not grab it in mid air with your tongue. You haven't even moved from that spot since we came to the park!"

Orochimaru, who was acting more like a dog than a snake, whined like a puppy.

Tsunade shook her head. "You stole Jiraiya's cake didn't you? This is karma."

Event 07: Impatience

He let the hot water pour from the shower and attempted to wash his long black hair. Even evil snakes need to get cleaned up once in a while. The plan for the day included soap, shampoo, hot water and then back to training and evil plots. However, not everything went according to plan even if the plan for that day was so simple.

"Orochimaru-sama, I found the information you asked me to collect," came Kabuto's voice all of a sudden, disturbing the silence recently shattered by his knocking on the bathroom door.

Orochimaru almost jumped out of his skin, though not literally. He had to quickly concentrate chakra on his feet to stop himself from slipping. "Is there an emergency?" He urgently asked. It was only natural he would assume there was an emergency, for him to be interrupted in such a way, it had to be a matter of life or death.

"Oh no, we have plenty of time to prepare before the Chunin exam begins. I just wanted to report what I fond." With that said the silver haired medical ninja and spy started giving Orochimaru a detailed report of his findings during his latest visit to the Hidden Leaf village.

Just when Orochimaru thought the situation couldn't get any stranger, the heater choose that precise moment in time to stop working. He could feel the water becoming colder by the second. It didn't take too long for it to reach an icy cold temperature that made the shower feel like a freezer. Orochimaru considered turning off the water, but then Kabuto would most likely ask him to go look at his reports or at the pictures he took at the Hidden Leaf village or something, since he was apparently done in the shower.

Kabuto was a good spy, he was a great spy. He took pride in his job and couldn't wait to inform his leader of his findings. His impatience, although usually not apparent in his facial expression, was always present. Even if what he had to say or ask was an unimportant detail that could wait, Kabuto had to speak right away. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he had to shape it into words or.

Still in the shower with the cold water raining above his head, Orochimaru was confused and annoyed. It was not the information that bothered him. According to what Kabuto was saying, everything was going according to plan, but why couldn't the spy wait until he was done to tell him all that?

"Orochimaru-sama, did you hear me? I asked what I should do next. Should I continue with the plan normally or would you like to change the course of action? I just thought I should ask for confirmation," Kabuto inquired.

"Kabuto... go away!" Orochimaru yelled, surprised that the so called elite spy had not caught the hint by now. Wasn't he supposed to be very perceptive? Was he just trying to be annoying? Well if being annoying was his goal he was certainly accomplishing it.

"Excuse me?" Kabuto pushed up his glasses even if they weren't falling off. It was another habit he had besides his impatience.

"Leave!" Orochimaru hated when his relaxation time was interrupted, and he even blamed Kabuto for jinxing the heater.

Kabuto shrugged, as if the conversation had been perfectly normal, "okay."

Event 08: Plastic Surgery

Kabuto quietly turned the page of his medical book, fully expecting to be interrupted any second. He heard footsteps outside his little research office and by the sound of them alone, he could tell this person was not just passing by. The one walking would stop at his door, he knew it. He was an excellent ninja and spy after all. He had to be very perceptive of his surroundings.

Judging by the sound of the footsteps and the rhythm they carried, the one heading towards the research office was not Orochimaru. Kabuto's accurate guess was that it must be Sasuke. His suspicions were confirmed when the Uchiha opened the door. Kabuto looked up from his reading. "May I help you?" He smiled like he always did, ever so carefree.

"I want to get plastic surgery," Sasuke informed, without wasting any time.

Kabuto blinked, Sasuke had certainly been direct in his request and he sounded serious about it, yet Kabuto did not understand. "What do you mean? Surely the cursed seal transformation should be enough."

Sasuke shook his head and took a seat across from Kabuto's cluttered desk. "It's not about power, it's about the way I look."

Sasuke's answer took Kabuto by surprise. He truly didn't understand. Sensing that the conversation could be a long one, Kabuto moved the many scrolls, notes and books to the sides of his desk, clearing a path of vision between him and Sasuke, so they could talk without having to look over the piles of research. "Why would you want that Sasuke?"

"I don't want to look like Itachi," Sasuke replied.

Kabuto paused. "Sasuke, do you remember when you came here and saw Orochimaru? He looked different because he had just switched bodies, remember?"

Sasuke nodded. He wasn't sure where Kabuto was going with all that.

"He asked me to perform plastic surgery on him to make him look like before. His face mask can be damaged in battle and he didn't want to put up with that. I did the surgery on his face and after that it was just a matter of growing out his hair and dying it black. However, don't you think he was better off with the new younger body?" Kabuto asked.

Sasuke wasn't sure what kind of trick question that was. "Orochimaru probably thinks looking creepy will give him an advantage in battle."

"Probably, but that's not the reason why he got plastic surgery," Kabuto revealed. "You see, he wanted to be recognized as Orochimaru. He wanted there to be no doubts of who he was when he got his revenge. He wanted his enemies to see the face of the Orochimaru they knew when they fell defeated. Isn't that what you want?"

Sasuke thought about it. Kabuto did have a good point. "Yes, I want Itachi to be defeated by me, Sasuke Uchiha. I want him to see the face of his younger brother, not the face of a stranger. I changed my mind; I don't want to get a plastic surgery after all. I'm going back to my training now."

Kabuto smiled, all it took was a little psychology to free himself from having to explain to Orochimaru why he changed the body he later planned to possess.

Event 09: Follow the Leader

Sakura stood there staring at her. Instead of compassion, she felt nothing but anger. Sakura was jealous. The girl standing before her had a perfectly well proportioned forehead that only served to make her face even more beautiful. No one would call that girl billboard brow. Her shiny black hair fell on the sides of her face framing and accentuating her beauty.

Sakura was pure envy, even if she kept telling herself that such thoughts were ridiculous. She looked into the girl's eyes. Endless pools of onyx that gave her an aura of mystery. She would surely attract the attention of all the boys. Not that she wanted to and surely they would back off when they realized who she was.

Sakura shook her head. Such terribly jealous thoughts did not belong in her mind. Still, her envy was consuming her, but why? What about her beloved Sasuke?

It all started when Naruto arrived to train as a girl. Recognizing him despite his female form, Sakura had asked where Sasuke was. Naruto only looked towards the raven haired beauty in response. Although that was her crush captured by a jutsu gone wrong, Sakura couldn't help it but to feel an outburst of jealousy. 'Sasuke makes a much prettier girl than me,' she thought.

"You're probably wondering how this happened right? Well you see Sasuke and I saw Kakashi-sensei and bushy brow's sensei playing rock paper scissors, so we decided that if they competed that way, we could too. Before the game we made a bet. The loser would have to play follow the leader with the winner for one day and do everything he did. I actually won two out of three. Instead of training until Sasuke couldn't keep up with me I decided to have some fun. If Sasuke did everything I did, he would relax and stop being such a grumpy shinobi. Since he was being cranky anyway, I decided to make things more challenging and used a jutsu to disguise myself as a girl. I thought Sasuke would be annoyed and refuse to do it, but he gave his word when we made that bet and a ninja never goes back on his word. He took it like a man and turned into a girl!" Naruto paused and admired the irony of his own words.

"Okay so that explains it. Change back Naruto, I don't want to see Sasuke like this." Sakura was supposed to feel sorry over Sasuke's predicament, not become a fireball of burning jealousy.

"Well that's just it. Neji saw us and flirted with Sasuke until he realized who he was. Neji got angry and said we shouldn't use jutsu like this and that we had to be more serious. He poked us, I thought it was weird, but later we realized that he didn't simply poke us, he pressed some pressure points so we'll be stuck like this for a while," Naruto explained.

Sakura twitched, "tell Kakashi sensei I'm not feeling well so I went home."

"You're not feeling well? Do you want me to walk you home?" Naruto asked.

"No, I'm fine by myself," Sakura left, twitching slightly with every step.

Poor Sasuke was stuck. Most people recognized Naruto, but Sasuke had to deal with the stares he got from the boys before they realized he was the same Uchiha who attended ninja academy with them, stuck in a magical disguise. When Ino had said hello, as Sasuke and Naruto were on their way to meet Kakashi, he was relieved thinking that someone actually recognized him. But soon Sasuke realized Ino had not recognized him and was only talking to 'her' because 'her' hair was "pretty and shiny" and Ino wanted to ask what shampoo 'she' used. That was certainly a day Sasuke would rather forget.

When Kakashi arrived, late as usual, and saw both Naruto and Sasuke as girls, he knew there had to be a funny story behind it.

Event 10: Spa Day

While their newest guest sat at the elegant lobby of the spa, waiting to be called, several girls in another room argued over who would provide that guest with a massage. The argument had been reduced to three girls, as the all other female workers of the large establishment had already been knocked out.

"It's my turn!" The blond insisted.

"Forget it, you had the hottie last time" The brown haired girl argued.

"No way, you got to choose the time after that," The blond replied.

"I want to choose this time," a black haired girl somewhat quietly joined in. "You two always get to choose, it's about time I got a turn."

"Enough of this!" The girl with brown hair spoke. "I'm definitely the one with enough tact to handle this situation."

"Tact?" The blond sarcastically laughed. "We all have a sense of tact and one that will be delighted to do this job."

While the arguments continued, the manager of the establishment apologized to the waiting guest and tried to keep him busy. "My apologies for the delay, one of our massage therapists will be here right away," the silver haired man glanced around nervously, hoping that his employees would make up their mind. He should have become a ninja but no, he had to listen when people kept telling him over and over that his face was too cute to hide under a ninja mask. Instead he jumped from one job to another, remaining unsatisfied each time and his current job was managing a spa. "So where did you hear about our services?"

"Snail mail spam," Itachi replied.

"Oh a flier, and why did you decide to come?" Kakashi asked. He heard the sound of glass breaking. It was all coming out of their salaries.

"Birthday," Itachi grew impatient.

The three girls finally arrived. Small cuts could be seen, their hair was a mess and surely the staff room walls were adored with kunais and shurikens all over. "Choose," the three spoke at the same time. Unable to come to a solution among themselves, they decided to let the customer decide.

"Why are you asking me, it's not my birthday?" Itachi clarified. "Kisame come out from behind that oversized plastic potted plant. This spa day will help you relax and I'm sure it'll do wonders for your skin." Kisame did not come out, so instead Itachi dragged him out.

"We're closed!" With that said, the three girls ran away.

"Come back here! We're not closed, don't leave the customer waiting!" Kakashi ran after them, that was definitely coming out of their pay.

"See? That's why I don't like massages, no one ever sticks around to give me one," Kisame pouted.

Itachi sighed, "I knew I should have gotten you that set of scented moisturizing lotions, then you won't be so scaly."

"Coming from someone who has wrinkles," Kisame retorted.

Itachi glared, "I do not have wrinkles!" Kisame looked amused, he didn't get his intended birthday gift, but picking on Itachi was just as good.

End of Memory I

Disclaimer, I do not own Naruto, Star Wars, Pokemon, Hello Kitty. In case you didn't catch it the little boy at the end of Event 02 is Tsunade's younger brother whom Naruto reminds her of. Event 03 is based on a Star Wars inside joke and on Chapter 195 of the Naruto manga where it says "I will never forgive you who turns to the dark side." Event 07 is based on chapter 198 of the manga but the story takes place before that.
