I Already Called the Police

A week later

"Naruto, is it really okay for you not to train and spend time with me?"

Hinata had fully recovered and been discharged from the hospital. She was out shopping with Naruto, and while she was happy that he could make time to accompany her, she also did not want to hold him back because of herself.

"It's fine. Balancing work and rest is important too. Is there anything you need to buy?"

"Yes, there is, but it wouldn't be convenient for a boy to come inside..."

Hinata nodded. Her mother had given her an important task: buying underwear herself. After all, it had to be comfortable for the person wearing it.

It's fine to have Naruto help you pick it out. You'll be wearing it for him to see someday anyway.

Before she left, Hina Hyuga's teasing gaze had embarrassed Hinata so badly she nearly fainted. Her mother still had not changed her habit of taking pleasure in teasing young couples.

"Is that so? I also think we can't really enjoy shopping while walking around like this. Transformation!"

Although Naruto had gotten used to the hostile looks around him, he did not want them to spoil Hinata's mood. He simply used the Transformation Jutsu to turn into the female form he often used.

"So it can be used like that."

Hinata looked at the twin-tailed girl beside her, who was actually wearing proper clothes, and sighed. She had thought Naruto could only transform into someone without clothes.

"This way, they won't know who I am. We can go to the shops Hinata wants to visit too. Perfect."

"Why does it feel like there are even more people staring now?"

Five minutes later, Naruto's female form looked curiously at the people around them. Unlike before, the older men and young men would avert their eyes whenever they met hers, only to sneak another look at her a little later.

"Why is this happening...?"

A wave of frustration rose within Hinata. She had actually been outmatched by her boyfriend's charm. It sounded strange to put it that way, but female Naruto really was beautiful. Her golden twin tails sparkled in the sunlight, and the whiskers on her face made her look as cute as a kitten. Because of the heat, her jacket was open, and beneath it she wore only a white undershirt, which did nothing to conceal her full breasts.

"Naruto, put some clothes on."

"No, it's too hot."

"You're a girl right now, so you need to be a little more modest!"

"Huh? Being a girl is such a hassle?"

Female Naruto and Hinata chatted idly as they walked. Two pretty girls shopping together were always eye-catching, and after turning down several people who tried to hit on them, they soon reached their destination.

"An underwear store..."

"Naruto, could you wait outside for me?"

"Okay."

Though he looked like a woman, Naruto had no interest in underwear, so he agreed to Hinata's request.

"Miss, you're so pretty! Come inside and have a look."

Things did not go as planned. The shop owner, who had been watching the situation outside, rushed out and dragged Naruto into the store without a word. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful girl, and the urge to match her with underwear immediately flared up.

"Let go of me! I'm not a girl."

"Honestly, what kind of girl dresses this terribly? Where are your parents?"

The female shop owner looked disapprovingly at Naruto's orange shirt and pants. Such a beautiful figure and face were going completely to waste.

"I don't have parents! I don't want this stuff!"

"...What a pitiful child. I'll definitely dress you up beautifully!"

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Seeing that the shop owner was about to strip off her clothes, female Naruto hurriedly used the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Dozens of clones flooded out of the store, throwing the street into chaos.

"Phew, phew, phew... Underwear stores are terrifying. Hinata, were you going in there to fight?"

Female Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and ran all the way to Konoha's hot spring district. Only after confirming no one was chasing them did she sit down on the ground to rest.

"That was only because it was you, Naruto. It normally wouldn't be like that."

Hinata covered her mouth and giggled. Being with Naruto was always this fun. Even the most ordinary things became interesting whenever he got involved.

"Sorry. You didn't even get to buy your underwear."

"I can go by myself."

"Then go straight home after you're done. I'll go catch that peeping creep."

Female Naruto pointed at someone peeping from a corner of the hot spring district. As a ninja of justice, she could not allow such a thing to happen.

"Okay, good luck."

Hinata had seen the white-haired peeper too. Judging from his back, he appeared to be a middle-aged man. She was not too worried; a ninja dealing with an ordinary thug was easy enough.

"Right, first I'll call the police."

Female Naruto pulled a round bamboo tube from her ninja tool pouch, about the width of a finger. It contained the sealed Chakra of Konoha's security force members. Once opened, the security force would sense it and rush over quickly. It was essentially an alarm.

"Ribbit!"

Suddenly, a pink tongue covered in saliva shot toward Naruto and snatched the bamboo tube from her hand. Its owner then swallowed it back into its stomach.

"Eek, eek, eek—A-a frog?"

Female Naruto cried out in surprise. At some point, an enormous orange-red toad over a meter tall had appeared beneath the peeping man's feet.

"Kid, calling the police at the drop of a hat isn't a good habit."

The peeping man sat atop the toad's head, staring at Naruto in displeasure. His forehead protector bore the strange character for "oil," and two red lines ran from beneath his eyes, across his cheeks, and down near his chin. With waist-length white hair and a massive scroll strapped to his back, he looked somewhat like an immortal sage—but what he was doing utterly ruined that image.

"Ah! You knew I was going to call the police? Do you have eyes in the back of your head?"

"Heh heh. As a peeping... writer, naturally I have to keep my eyes and ears open in every direction when gathering material."

"You just said 'peeping,' didn't you?"

"Ahem, I really am a writer. This is one of my works."

Jiraiya pulled a copy of Icha Icha Paradise from his waist pouch and spoke proudly.

"Ah, isn't that the H-book Teacher Kakashi reads all the time?"

"You actually called it an H-book? You little bastard, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Jiraiya's expression immediately darkened. Although minors were not allowed to purchase Icha Icha Paradise, he insisted it was a book about love, definitely not H!

Jiraiya patted the toad beneath him, and it understood, shooting out its tongue at Naruto. Naruto evaded with a backflip, landing on the hot spring beside the street and standing steadily atop the water.

"You're actually serious, you pervy old man!"

"Quick reflexes. You've even learned Water Walking, huh? You brat have talent. But I thought you were supposed to be a boy. Did I remember wrong?"

Jiraiya fell into thought. He had long kept an eye on Naruto's every move, though he had never expected to encounter Minato's descendant here. Since they had met, he wanted to test her strength. As for Naruto's gender, he did not know. After Minato and Kushina died, he had only secretly returned to Konoha, left a cup of sake at their graves, and departed. Today was his first time meeting Naruto.

"But she really is beautiful. Give her a few more years and she'll definitely be a great beauty. Her figure's great too, unlike Kushina's washboard chest. She's about twelve now, right? Such magnificent breasts at twelve—Minato really gave birth to a fine daughter. Guh-heh-heh..."

Jiraiya, who had looked serious just moments ago, glanced at female Naruto and immediately wore the expression of a lecherous old creep, a trace of drool slipping from the corner of his mouth.

"Very well, kid. I've decided to take you as my disciple."

"Again? Is there something wrong with all of you people?!"

Female Naruto cried out. Jiraiya was like Zabuza—both of them seemed especially fond of forcing their way into deals.

"Kid, do you know that if I so much as said the word, the people wanting me as their teacher could line up from the east side of Konoha to the west? Because I am the famed Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku!"

Jiraiya struck an exceedingly flamboyant pose and boasted shamelessly.

"Yeah, yeah, Pervy Sage, right? Got it. Goodbye."

Naruto jumped out of the hot spring. She could tell that she was no match for Jiraiya, so she could only give up and prepare to leave.

"Hey, you really don't want to become my disciple? If you do it now, I'll even cover three meals a day."

Jiraiya followed Naruto, tempting her like some strange old uncle.

"No. I already have a good teacher."

"You mean Kakashi? He's not stronger than me."

"Not Teacher Kakashi. He's giving Sasuke special tutoring and doesn't have time for me."

"Then that's strange. Who in Konoha would still be willing to teach you..."

Jiraiya thought it over and over but could not come up with a suitable candidate. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it. From behind, he lightly struck Naruto's neck, knocking her unconscious, then slung her over his shoulder and vanished into the street.

PS: Why did this happen? It seems other people's protagonists are naturally beautiful and look even prettier than the heroines when dressed as girls, while my protagonist just turned directly into a girl. Where exactly did things go wrong... But female Naruto is really adorable!

PS: This ending could practically be a fifty-cent booklet.
