Lessons in womanhood...

-Hinata-
Hinata was hanging on Tsunade's every word, hoping to find something that she could do, some way that she could help. Sure, everyone in the room was listening intently, it wasn't every day all the teams were gathered for an audience with the Hokage, but she had a purpose beyond all of theirs. Naruto was the person she cared for more than anybody in the whole world and she was going to do something to help. She nodded in affirmation from her place in the back of the room... behind Kurenai-sensei... this time Hinata was going to stand out!
“...effectively replacing his own body with a female one at the exact moment he ran completely out of chakra. Now, this wouldn't be a problem for a normal Shinobi...”
“Oi, why wouldn't this be a problem for a normal Shinobi?” Kiba interrupted, the others present all mumbled their sentiments, the Jounins all giving each other a sideways glance.
“Because a normal Shinobi would be dead.” Tsunade's bluntness put a quick stop to the murmuring. “However, in his case the super fast recovery rate of both his body and his chakra caused it to restore him in his current form, that of his... Sexy no Jutsu,” she said, clearly embarrassed by the name of the technique.
“Isn't there any way to change him back? Some medical technique you or... some other highly skilled medical ninja could perform?” Ino chimed in, glancing sideways at Sakura. Tsunade shook her head.
“The only person I can think who might know of such a technique is Orochimaru and I seriously doubt he's up for sharing that information.”
“Couldn't he just use a regular transformation jutsu to look like his old self?” Ten-Ten opted. This time it was Sakura who responded.
“You weren't in our class so you wouldn't know it but the regular transformation jutsu is one of Naruto's worst technique, he failed the final exam partly because of it. Even if he could use it correctly it would simply waste too much chakra and severely decrease his... her fighting potential.” Everyone was quiet for a long time till Shikamaru sighed his typical sigh, having already figured out what was going on.
“How troublesome... So basically what you're here to tell us, Hokage-sama, is that we all need to get used to the fact that Naruto's gonna be a girl from now on.”
“That's correct.”
As a general uproar took control of the room the shy, pale eyed, Hyuuga girl could not suppress a mournful sob. 'What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to feel now? What am I supposed to...' A gentle hand was placed on her shoulder, removing her from her troubled thoughts. Pale white met spiraled red as Hinata looked up into Kurenai's understanding gaze. 'Of course she knows, she's been taking care of me all of these years... and she was standing right there when I gave Naruto-kun the ointment I made during the Chuunin Exam.' Kurenai smiled and knelt beside her.
“Everything is going to be okay Hinata-chan. No matter what happens you just have to follow your heart and everything will be fine. I promise.” Hinata was unsure if those words reassured her or deepened her fears but she didn't have time to ponder them as Tsunade spoke up again.
“Also, there's one more thing I'd like to ask of one of the Kunoichi present. I'm ranking this as a Class A Mission.”
Thump Thump Hinata's heart pounded hard in her chest. 'This is it, I can feel it!'
“She'll be needing someone to show her how to live as a woman.” The silence was deafening. “Just the basics so she can properly take care of herself.” Nobody moved.
Thump Thump
“Diet.”
Thump Thump
“Using feminine products.”
Thump Thump Thump
“Bathing.”
Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump
The slightest movement could be seen from the group. That of the diminutive, pale eyed girl shyly pressing her fingertips together.
“Um...” 'I can finally be of use to Naruto-kun...' “Um... I...” She slowly started to raise her hand, she felt a reassuring squeeze on her shoulder. 'I'll get to spend lots of time with Naruto-kun...' “...I'll...” Her hand was almost all the way up, Tsunade was turning her head towards her. 'I'll tell Naruto-kun that I...'
“I'll do it.” Sakura said, stepping forward. A flare of something unfamiliar shot through Hinata... anger. “He is on my team after all, I know him... her better than anybody here.”
'No! You don't know anything about Naruto-kun! All you do is cause him pain!' Memories of what she'd seen the night before flashed through her mind adding fuel to the already raging fire. 'Not you! Not the one who did those things to Naruto-kun! No... No... NO!'
“No,” came Tsunade's curt reply.
“What?! Why not?!” Sakura was clearly disappointed and Hinata glared daggers at the girl even as relief flowed through her.
“I'm sending a medical envoy to the Sand Village tomorrow and you need to be with them. It'll have to be someone else.” That's when it hit her, she still had a chance.

The hand on her shoulder moved down to the small of her back and shoved her forward. Hinata, being completely off guard, ended up stumbling clear to the middle of the room. She looked over her shoulder at Kurenai who held up her left pinky finger and winked. The red faced Hinata ever so slowly raised her face up to look at Tsunade who wore a wide grin.
“Thank you very much Hinata-chan. I can't think of anyone better suited than someone as sweet and kind as you. Now, let's get this started off, shall we?” She turned to the door and shouted, “Naruto-chan, come in here please!” she called out sweetly, obviously enjoying herself a little too much.
'Naruto...-chan?' Hinata turned to the doors and waited, heart in her throat, using every last ounce of willpower she had not to use her Byakugan to look through the door. When at last they swung open, in walked the most sour faced girl Hinata had ever laid eyes on. Everyone present except for the two of them promptly burst into laughter.
Even though Hinata had never seen the Sexy no Jutsu she could instantly place this girl as Naruto. She had the trademark blonde hair albeit in the form of twin ponytails and looked to be wearing a rather tight fitting version of Sakura's favorite dress, no doubt on loan from the pink haired girl. The face and the form may have been made more delicate and feminine, but she could see it in those beautiful blue eyes... this was her Naruto. She swallowed hard.
“Naruto-chan...” she said, shyly pressing her fingertips together.
“Hm?” the sour faced girl responded, staring at Hinata, trying her best to ignore the laughter.
“Um.... um...” Thump Thump Thump Thump
“Hm?”
“You look beautiful!” she blurted out before she could stop herself. She froze. 'I can't believe I said that! Oh no oh no oh no oh no! Maybe she didn't hear me! Wait... why is it so quiet.... oh please no...'
She turned slowly, painfully slowly, from Naruto's shocked face to the crowd of shocked faces, the laughter had apparently died down just before her outburst. The last thing she remembered was seeing a smile on Kurenai's face before everything went black.

Hinata awoke slowly as the morning light began creeping over her face. The remaining memories of her dream bringing a lazy smile to her lips. She couldn't help but giggle as she remembered how cute Naruto had been as a girl. “Naruto-chan.”
“Oh you're awake Hinata.”
Sitting bolt upright, Hinata came face to face with a pair of bright blue eyes framed by a delicate female face. “Na-ru-to-chan?”
“Hm?” the blonde girl responded.
Hinata screamed and laid down so fast on the springy bed that she bounced right back up into a sitting position, the momentum bringing their lips together in a gentle kiss. With wide eyes the girl backed away from the blonde and threw the blanket over her head. Her temporary solitude allowed her to gather herself enough to breath.
'It wasn't a dream! Oh no oh no oh no! I kissed her! My first kiss... I kissed her! Oh this is bad... this is bad!'
“You okay, Hinata?” Slowly, she pulled the sheet away from her beat red face and nodded.
“Y-y-y-y-yes.” She swallowed hard to compose herself. “I'm fine Naruto-chan.” Finally conscious and not scared out of her mind she took a look around, finding herself in a filthy room she didn't recognize. Naruto was still crouched on the bed next to her, still wearing Sakura's dress and giving the shy girl a rather gratuitous look at a pair of pink underwear, also borrowed... hopefully. “Um... Naruto-chan... how did I get here?”
“I carried you. After you passed out Kurenai-sensei asked if I'd bring you here.” Hinata took a brief fantasy trip to imagine the scene before Naruto started speaking again. “She brought over a bag of stuff too,” Naruto added, reaching behind her to grab a large sack and place it in front of Hinata. One look inside the bag was enough to set her face ablaze so she quickly closed it.
“We'll, ah.. we'll look at those things later.”
“Hey Hinata...” Naruto trailed off, suddenly looking very nervous.
“Yes, Naruto-chan?”
“I just wanted to thank you for helping me. I know we don't hang out very much but... well...” Naruto reached out and squeezed one of Hinata's breasts while leaning in to kiss the pale eyed girl's neck. With a scream and a shove she sent Naruto sailing off the bed, throwing the sheet over her head once more to hide her burning face. “Ow! Jeeze, what was that for?!” she heard Naruto call out from the other side of her protective barrier.
“W-W-What do you think you're doing?!” she squeaked, covering her breasts in case the girl tried to go for another feel through the sheets.
“What do you mean? That's how women always thank each other in Ero-Sanin's books. Did I do something wrong? You can feel me first if you want to...” Hinata tore away the sheet.
“Those books aren't real Naruto-chan! They're mostly just pointless lesbian sex scenes! Those things don't really happen in real life!” Hinata shouted before stopping stopped cold, hoping the other girl wouldn't catch on to the implications.
“You've read them?” the blonde asked with a grin.
'Somebody please kill me...' the pale eyed girl pleaded in her mind.
-Naruto-
“Is this right?” she asked, turning around so the blushing girl could inspect her handiwork. She'd never imagined that putting on a bra could be such a difficult task to master, hence the late night practice. Even after three days she was still having trouble adjusting to certain things, but she didn't really care because she couldn't remember a time when she'd had more fun.
“You did it Naruto-chan! I knew straps would be the best for you. How do the cups feel on your... um... your chest?” The blonde had to fight down a girlish giggle, something she found was occurring more and more often due to the shy girl's antics. It was so cute watching her go from smiling and laughing to blushing and demure so quickly.
“Feels great actually! I always wondered how you girls could stand walking around with them bouncing like they do but with a bra it's not that bad. Look!” she said excitedly, hopping up and down several times for Hinata to see, “hardly any bounce at all!”
“Naruto-chan... you shouldn't...” the girl started, swooning slightly where she stood, “shouldn't do things like that, it's...”
“Ohh, but it's no fun holding myself back, Hinata-chan!” the blonde pouted. “It looks really cute when you act all shy and stuff but I just can't do it!”
“C-cute? You think I-I look... cute?” Hinata asked, lowering her eyes and prodding her index fingers together.
“See, just like that!” Naruto said with a laugh, pointing at Hinata's face. “It's so adorable when you get like that it makes me want to do stuff so it happens again!” Hinata went weak in the knees, forcing Naruto to reach out and steady her. “Seriously though, why are you so shy, Hinata-chan? You've got so much willpower in you but you hardly seem to use it.” The words struck a cord in the girl and for only the second time since she'd known her, Naruto saw Hinata's features darken over.
“It's... because I'm no good...” the girl whispered, averting her eyes. Naruto furrowed her brow.
“What do you mean, Hinata-chan?” Naruto asked, putting a hand on the girl's shoulder, feeling her flinch at the touch. “How could you not...”
“Because it's true!” Hinata shouted, pushing the hand away. “Everybody knows it too,” she said quietly, wrapping her arms around her waist.
“Hinata-chan...” Naruto murmured, unsure of how to proceed with this new side of Hinata.
“The Hyuuga clan is one of the most prestigious in the village and keeping that reputation is more important than anything to them... much more important than their no talent daughter...” The girl was struggling with every word as if it took every last bit of her willpower just to speak them.
“You don't mean...” Hinata turned to her and smiled sadly.
“What's one daughter after all when you have another to take her place? One with enough talent to make her worth keeping around... It's okay though... Kurenai-sensei took me in so I didn't have to be all alone. Like you...” she whispered, voice choking on the last two words, her sad smile dissolving away. “I was always watching you Naruto-chan. I always wanted to talk to you, to keep you company... but I felt so worthless. I never worked up the courage to talk to you and because of that you were in so much pain. That's why I'm no...” the words caught in her throat as Naruto's arms slipped around her shoulders, a hand pressing her head down onto the blonde's shoulder.
“Tsunade Oba-san was right Hinata... you really are a sweet girl. You were suffering so much and still worried about an idiot like me... thank you.” Hinata suddenly went stiff against her, erratic breaths beating against her neck. “Hinata?” The girl starting trembling so Naruto pulled away. “Hinata, what's wrong?” she noticed the girl was looking at something behind her.
“Hey Naruto, sorry to just come barging in but I just got back from...” Naruto turned to see Sakura stepping in from the darkness through the open window over her bed. The pink haired girl took a quick survey of the scene and turned away blushing. “Oh my god, I'm so sorry! You told us we should always just come in but you're busy so...”
“Huh?” Naruto questioned before looking down and noticing she was only wearing a bra and a pair of shorts. With a yelp, she dove for the bed and snatched up the sheet to cover herself with. “No no, it's okay, Sakura-chan, we were just talking is all,” Naruto said, wrapping an arm around Hinata's shoulder.
“You...” Hinata said, her voice so low and menacing that Naruto took a step back.
“Something wrong, Hinata?” Sakura asked, only to recoil at the sight of those pale eyes burning into her with more hatred than she'd imagined the demure girl was capable of. “Hinata...”
