In the aftermath of Raikage's punishment, the four other Kage looked visibly awkward. Mei Terumī covered her mouth, struggling not to gag. The scene had been far too much to handle.
Ōnoki and Hiruzen adjusted their hats, acting as though they didn't know Raikage at all. Their pride as the Five Kage had been utterly destroyed.
"Wow… my eyes! That's so gross, dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed, covering his eyes. "This is even worse than Pervy Sage!"
Even Sasuke looked like he was about to gag. The sight of a proud Raikage dancing so suggestively in front of the entire ninja world was overwhelming.
In Konoha
The Konoha 12 all covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight. They were only twelve or thirteen years old—how could they possibly handle something like this?
"What if I tried moving like that?" Hinata thought to herself, imagining the scene. Her face instantly turned bright red.
In the Land of Lightning, Kumogakure
In his office, the Fourth Raikage sat motionless on the couch, his face pale and lifeless. The shame was unbearable.
"Ra… Raikage-sama…" Samui stammered, her face also red. The memory of Raikage's dance had been seared into her mind. She never imagined he could move so… flexibly.
[The Five Great Nations:]
Ōnoki: "I never thought the mighty Raikage could move like that. Impressive, truly."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "I'm too old for this. Let's pretend I didn't see it."
Mei Terumī: "That last move… I'll admit, it was… unexpectedly charming."
Raikage: "…"
Raikage wanted nothing more than to find a hole to crawl into and never come out.
"Yo, yo~ Boss, that was some solid moves, y'know! Way to go, boss!" Killer Bee said, grinning as he praised Raikage's performance.
[Ding!]
[Second participant: Naruto Uzumaki. Please answer.]
Hearing his name, Naruto froze. His face turned pale green. "Why is my luck so bad?!"
The Konoha 12 tensed up alongside him.
"Hey, loser, if you don't know the answer, just make something up. Worst case, you get a little punishment. Just shake it off like the Raikage," Sasuke teased with a smirk.
"What did you say, you jerk?! You're trying to set me up!" Naruto yelled, glaring at him.
Sasuke chuckled but held back his laughter. He secretly wanted to see Naruto's dance punishment—it would be hilarious.
"What do I do?! Kakashi-sensei, help me! I don't want to do that dance. It's too embarrassing!" Naruto grabbed Kakashi's arm, pleading desperately.
Kakashi sighed. "Why not just guess? It's worth a try."
Naruto's face turned white as a sheet. "Some teacher you are! You're throwing me under the bus!"
[Naruto Uzumaki, please answer. One minute remaining.]
Naruto panicked, scratching his head furiously. The question was too unfair! How was he supposed to know something like that?
His mind went blank as he spiraled into anxiety.
[Ding!]
[Ten seconds remaining.]
Naruto felt like crying.
[Three seconds.]
In a desperate flash of inspiration, Naruto blurted out:
"It's me! Uzumaki Naruto!"
[Ding!]
[Naruto Uzumaki, correct answer.]
Relieved, Naruto let out a deep sigh, but before he could relax, the sky's next announcement shattered his peace.
[Due to the participant failing to answer within the time limit, the system will still enforce a punishment.]
Naruto's face turned white again. He pointed at the sky, shouting: "Why?! That's not fair!"
"It's no use, Naruto," Sasuke said, stepping forward and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Just accept it."
[Punishment: Naruto Uzumaki will be transformed into a female for three days.]
As the announcement ended, white smoke surrounded Naruto, obscuring him from view.
When the smoke cleared, standing in Naruto's place was a petite girl with bright blonde hair tied into twin tails. Her face had the same whisker marks on her cheeks, and she wore the same clothes—but her figure was much smaller.
The most shocking part was her noticeably developed chest.
Her brilliant blue eyes, paired with her round face and whisker marks, made her look incredibly cute.
Naruto had turned into Naruko.
The ninja world fell silent.
Konoha fell silent.
Not a sound could be heard.
Until…
"Wait… Naruto turned into… a girl?!"
"Is this really Naruto? No way… she's adorable!"
"Naruto as a girl looks so cute. How is this possible?"
"Everyone, I have an announcement: I'm Naruko Uzumaki's biggest fan!"
"This is too much! I can't handle it!"
"Alright, from today on, we're forming Naruko's fan club!"
The ninja world erupted in chaos once more. If Raikage's punishment had been horrifying, then Naruto's transformation was a refreshing and unexpected surprise.
In Konoha:
"Is that really Naruto?" Shikamaru muttered, uncharacteristically shocked.
"Wow, Naruto became Naruko. She's so pretty! This sky thing is incredible—it can even change someone's gender," Chōji said in awe.
"I don't accept this! How can Naruto be this cute?" Ino exclaimed, questioning her sanity.
Sakura stared at Naruko, then looked down at herself. Her face darkened as she realized Naruko's figure outclassed hers. "A fake girl… even a fake girl is… is that well-endowed?"
In the Hyūga Clan:
"Naruto-kun became Naruko… Naruto-kun became Naruko…" Hinata murmured to herself, her mind spinning.
Naruto as a girl left her completely bewildered. What would this mean for their future?!
In Sunagakure:
Temari and Kankurō stared blankly at the projection.
"Gaara… look, um…"
Gaara, frozen in place, seemed completely shell-shocked.
"He won't be okay after this, will he?" Kankurō whispered.
Temari nodded in agreement.
