Other world chimera [Naruto fanfic]

163. New names?

“You two ended up kissing again?!” Tomoka couldn’t help but burst into laughter once she heard Naruto mention the event. The memory of the chaos she caused back in the day resurfacing in her mind. Unlike the red-head laughing loudly both Nozomi and Hinata laughed with a bit more tact. Their soft giggles could be heard behind their hands as they tried to contain their laughter.  

“You idiot! We had agreed to never tell anyone!” Sasuke reacted almost instantly once the words left Naruto’s mouth. He would have reacted quicker if not for remembering Naruto's soft lips on his own. 

“Sorry, I got too caught up on telling the story, you know” Now that he had been pulled out of his story telling trance he realized what he had told the others making her cheeks turn rosy.

“So, there was a cave chamber underneath where you were fighting. It was full of glowy water that somehow turned the four of you into the opposite gender. Am I getting anything wrong?” Hinata decided to ask even though she had just heard just that, after all it sounds too fantastical. 

“No, you aren’t, though most of the water got consumed. I do remember falling quite a bit into a liquid but when I woke up it was barely ankle deep.” This time it was Sakura answering the question with her new and deep voice. It sounded like puberty decided to hit her like a train. Deep and rumbly Tomoka was sure Sakura wouldn’t help any trouble enchanting young girls with it. 

“I see, any idea why this happened?” Nozomi decided to ask this time. To tell the truth she felt a bit interested. She couldn’t help but imagine Tomoka and Hinata as pretty boys. Though she had to admit she much prefers them as they are now. 

“Yosuke said that the water possesses reversing properties of some sort. He did a few experiments and when mixed with a poison it becomes the cure to said poison. He thinks that Naruto’s sexy jutsu somehow triggered the water into reversing all of our genders.” Hearing Saukras explanation, Tomoka became a bit interested in the water. Though admittedly she could already see the problem to come. 

“Unfortunately that seemed to consume too much of the water. We don’t know how long it will take for the lake to refill or if it will do so at all. So, we are stuck like this for the time being. We hope that the medic-nins can help out” Sakura's tone sounded defeated. With a cheeky smile Tomoka gave her condolences… kinda. 

“Well, if it’s any consolation you all are looking good.” Saying that before bursting into laughter Tomoka had to dodge Sakura’s angry fist. Followed by running away with an angry Naruto and Sakura while she continued to tease them.

A while later the three of them came back with a still fuming Sakura, an embarrassed Naruto and a smiling Tomoka. During this Time Hinata and Nozomi had decided to try and talk with the depressed Uchiha that somehow looked even gloomier and broody than before. 

“So, have the four of you thought about new names?” Hearing Tomoka’s question Kakashi sighed, Sakura felt a bit of dread, Naruto became confused and Sasuke gave her the stink eye. 

“Come on, your current names don’t fit you anymore so why not choose new ones that are close to the old ones? If you all would like, I can give suggestions.” Before the other four could refuse Tomoka began pointing at each of them while talking. 

“Naruto, Naruko. Sasuke, Satsuki. Kakashi, Kagami. Sakura, Ouka.”  Suddenly silent befell as everyone looked towards Tomoka. 

“Huh, those aren’t half bad” Hinata couldn’t help but comment. She had expected Tomoka to say some outrageous names but these ones were fine. 

“Yeah, kind of surprising.” This time it was Nozomi the one speaking. Everybody else nodded along. 

“Hey! That’s rude! I am the best with names!” Tomoka truly felt a bit offended by her friend’s and lovers' little respect for her naming sense.

“For now we will go report to lord Hokage though we will think about your suggestion Tomoka, bye.” With that Kakashi began walking towards the Hokage tower alongside his genin. 

At that moment, like lightning, a revelation hit Tomoka. Looking into her mindscape she couldn’t help but have a grin that would put the Cheshire cat’s to shame. With a skip in her step and somewhat predatory eyes Tomoka approached the fox.
