Thank you so so sooo much for the reviews! I know I've been taking a really really realllllly long time to update, but I really am doing my best! Let it be known that this is probably the chapter I had the most fun writting! Warning: Major O.O.C.ness! Enjoy-right after the recap!


Recap

Everyone on the Island:

"And now my fellow, Konoha ninja's," Jiraya-sama said, an amused and somewhat devilish grin on his face as he dumped naruto's body onto the heap of other unconscious subs, "It is time. Here it is, the moment we've all been waiting for since becoming Jounin-level ninja's, The Powder Test! Let the fun began!"

"Hai, Jiraya-sama!" Kakashi, Asuma, Gai, Iruka, and Kurenai-sensei all chorused, before each snickering evilly and whipping out their own pouch of the custom made powder. Custom made for this particular test/mission..


Day 10: The Powder Test: Part 1: Blue

Disclaimer: I own nothing in 'Naruto'

The senseis, now wearing their 'heavy-duty-S.W.A.T.-we've-just-launched-a-nuclear-poisonus-gas-bomb' gas masks which covered their whole face, each took one last look at their subordinates before they were 'powdered'. After they had sprinkled some blue powder on all of the students-particularly on top their upper lips beneath their noses-the six senseis, having finished their job for the time being, sat back for a moment. Not just to take a break, but also to allow the subs to inhale the stuff. It would take a little while for it to start working so Iruka-sensei took the chance to voice a question that had been nagging at the back of his mind.

"What does this blue powder do?" he asked Jiraya. "I don't remember it being here last year or the year before or the year before or the year before or the-"

"Okay, okay! Sheesh, I get it already!" Jiraya replied hastily trying to shut up his Chuunin friend, sweatdropping as he took notice to the fact that the blue powder had taken effect on Iruka simply because he was near it. He puffef up his chest proudly. "I invented this powder. It is the second most dangerous powder being used in this test. It's effects, like all the others, last for 24 hours. What this powder does is-"

"Oooh.." Sakura moaned as she came to."Huuuuuh?"

"Iruka, Kakashi, Gai, Asuma, Kurenai, let's go!" Jiraya said, a huge sweatdrop forming on his head as his expression turned from 'arrogantly proud know-it-all' to 'nervous-breakdown worry'. Iruka knew it must really be urgent since Jiraya was only serious in times of great peril. "This is a time of great peril!"

They all quickly took heed and jumped into the trees. Once they had settled themselves comfortably in their tree-hiding-places, Jiraya-the-keen saw, out of the corner of his eye, Kakashi whip out something and his one visible eye was shifty-looking. Jiraya's eyes popped open and he quoted Neji.

'Bakana! (No way!)' he thought. 'Kuwitsu...(This guy...)' In Kakashi's hand was...a ready-to-be-eaten-extra-large bowl of popcorn! With butter yet!

"Oi, Kakashi, pass it over this way!" he hissed urgently as though it were a matter of life and death.

Kakashi sweatdropped slightly and looked straight ahead instead of at Jiraya. 'Surly he doesn't mean the..popcorn?' he thought. 'And he looks so serious..Nah, I'll just pretend I didn't hear him.'

"Kakashi, the popcorn!" Jiraya hissed more urgently this time, drooling as he reached out towards Kakashi to receive the bowl. He thought for sure it would work this time since he had used an illussionary technique to make it seem like he was a man dying from thirst in a desert in the middle of nowhere and Kakashi's popcorn was the only water that could save his life (of course Kakashi was still holding it). He even changed his tone to desperate mode and gasped raspily for effect. "..Hayaku!..(..Hurry!..)"

Kakashi really sweatdropped this time. 'This is the Great Jiraya-sama? One of the legendary Sannin? Asking for my popcorn?-! He's even using an illussionary technique! I guess it's been a while since he earned that title...' he thought 'Hmm, maybe I can still get out of this...'

Kakashi turned his head toward Jiraya, who had by now drenched half of Kiba's unconcious body in foamy drool, widened his eyes as he took notice of that, squealed "EWWWWWW!" and coughed an 'Ahem..' before finishing what he had started.

"What is it, Jiraya-sama?" He asked, his eyes back to their usual lazy state and his sweatdrop cleared from sight. "Did you say something?"

"Wha..?" Jiraya said, caught off guard since he had given up on the popcorn promptly after Kakashi's squeal. He realized that Kakashi was messing with him and muttered "Curse you, Kakashi!"

"Pardon?" Kakashi asked not reacting in the slightest. 'I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that last remark, sir."

"Never mind, it's nothing important." Jiraya said, in a ho-hum tone even though he was seething inside. 'So, Kakashi ,you want to play?-! Let's play!'' He was about to jump from his tree branch to Kakashi's when-

"Ugh!" he heard the now fully awakened Kiba exclaim as Akamaru -completely drenched- whimpered. "What the! What is this stuff all over me!" Jiraya shrunk back into hiding immediately. 'I'll get you back for this! You will pay for this, Kakashi.'' he thought 'YOU WILL PAY! ' Unfortunately, he said that last part out loud and stood up in the midst of his outburst.

"Hey! Who's there?" he heard Kiba yell, his head snapping up to the spot where Jiraya had been split second ago. 'Phew! Just in time' Jiraya thought having shrunk back into hiding again. 'You will payyyyy!' he seethed quietly this time.

'Whew!' Kakashi thought 'I thought my ready-to-be-eaten-extra-large bowl of popcorn-with butter yet! was a goner for a second there! But not you, no no, you're still here..my precious'

Everyone in the trees sweatdropped as they saw Kakashi affectionately rubbing his ready-to-be-eaten-extra-large bowl of popcorn-with buter yet!-while he repeatedly muttered "..my precious..". Jiraya decided that perhaps he should 'make Kakashi pay' after the disturbed jounin had gotten over his..obsession.

Gai was now gushing tears of joy. "Finally, I'm cooler and more 'hip' than Kakashi! This is truely 'the springtime of my youth' !"

Iruka had started quietly wailing out a song in an off-key voice, saying the same part over and over since he didn't know all the words.

Asuma was now deeply inhaling through his usual cigarette every now and then. It was typical for him-except that, this time, every time he inhaled he would laugh like some dog on crack. (A/N: Like Courage from 'Courage the Cowardly Dog Show'-after he had been beaten, run over, nearly drowned and etc. )

Kurenai, after observing the actions of all her comerades-with Asuma being the straw that broke the camel's back-, curled up into a fetal position on her tree branch muttering over and over "Creepy senseis..creepy senseis.."


Meanwhile, under the 'Creepy senseis..', the subs awaken:

"Ticks..no..(Shudders) "

"Must..beat Neji..to..a pulp..(fire of anger blazes in background) "

"Napkin...boogers..(barfs) "

"Mnh..(blinks slowly "

"What happened?..(scratches head) "

"..Headache!..(groans) "

"Ugh! It's Drool!(gags) "

"Naruto..kun..(blushes) "

"So..troublesome..(sighs) "

"What the..?-! (looks confused) "

"Where..my chips?-!..(freaks out) "

"Ballet..for you..mother..(stares off into space) "

"Temari..kowaii(scary)..(looks traumatized) "

"Bugs..no..get off!..(twitches) "

"Gaara..ballet..(all shiver except Gaara and those of 'Team Gai') "

( A/N: The speaking order (although you've probably figured some of them out by now) is: Neji, Tenten, Lee, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Gaara, Kanuru, Temari. The last remark was by everyone who shivered.)

Jiraya, being the only normal-ish person around, peeped over out of his hiding place to do his job: observe and laugh like a rabid hyena when necessary. It would definitely be necessary...and Sakura was the first to prove it.

"How do you get this thing off?-!" she asked loudly, tugging at the hem of Gaara's fluffy pink tutu.

"Back off!" Gaara said haughtily. He stood up and struck a pose. "You know it goes with my hair way better than yours."

"You know he's right, Forehead Girl." Ino added, admiring the tutu, and nodding her head in approval.

"Ino, stop calling Sakura forehead Girl!" Naruto interrupted. Then he tilted his head a little as he looked at Sakura and added, "But then again, she does have a rather large forehead.."

"Agreed!" everyone chorused. Then Ino added, beaming with pleasure, "You have no idea how long I've waited to hear that!"

"Hey!" Sakura said defensively, insulted beyonds belief. Then she looked hopeful. "Well..well, Sasuke-kun doesn't think so, do you Sasuke-kun?"

"Yes, I most definitely do." he replied, without a moment's hesitation. Sakura's lip trembled before she she started gushing rivers of tears. "And I swear, if you call me 'Sasuke-kun' one more time, I'll become a perfect replica of..Naruto!" Sakura and Ino gasped loudly, Naruto gasped even louder, and everyone else was either too worried to gasp in case that would make Sasuke change his mind or they were wondering why Naruto had said that and Ino, Sakura, and Sasuke had gasped-or so it appeared to them.

"Heh," Naruto said."You could never be a perfect replica of me."

"You wanna bet on that?" Sasuke asked challengingly.

"You bet!" Naruto replied.

"No, I asked if you wanted to bet on that!" Sasuke replied back.

"You bet I do!" Naruto replied again. Sasuke sighed and shook his head. "Never mind."

"Huh?-!" Everyone except Sasuke exclaimed furiously as they ganged up on him intimidatingly. They had all been listening to the conversation and there was no way they'd pass up the chance for Sasuke to act like Naruto-even though some of them didn't know thay had switched bodies, they were just playing along for the fun of it. "Why? What you mean 'never mind'?-!"

"Because!" Sasuke replied, equally furious, and frustrated, too."And who asked you, anyway?-!"

"We don't need anyone to ask us anything!" They yelled back. Shikamaru added, "Sasuke, you're so..troublesome!" The rest yelled, "YEAH!"

"Fine!" Sasuke yelled.

"Fine!" They yelled right back. "Sheesh!" Sasuke muttered. Then they all realized the horribly reality of what they had just done. "NO! Sasuke, don't do it!"

Sasuke didn't answer. "Sasuke..?" They all asked uncertain as to what was going through his mind. Jiraya, meanwhile, was confusedly watching from his hiding place up in the trees and wondering what was going on exactly...and what Sasuke would say.

Sasuke opend his mouth, paused for a moment before replying, and said ".."


What will Sasuke say?-! What's happening to everyone-senseis included?-! And just what exactly does Jiraya's special blue powder do?-! Find out in the next chapter of 'The Switch'!
