First posted this over in the Naruto Idea forum because I didn't know their was a separate section for challenges.
the basic challenge is write a story where a Konoho ninja is given the mission to impersonate naruto around the village for a time as a decoy. What things would the nin learn about our favorite demon container?
******************************
A little idea that has been bouncing around my head for a while. With the Ninja henge or transform jutsu, what would it be like if a Leaf Nin had to impersonate Naruto for a time. What things would this ninja learn about Naruto through living his life and the way people treat him. Would this person be able to change things for Naruto or the way they treat him.

We all know what a rough life Naruto has had what with the villagers hating him for the Kyuubi but what if some people had a more first hand knowledge of his life.
The basic idea is that Naruto is going to be hospitalized for a little while after the Sasuke retrieval. Meanwhile Akatsuki is sniffing around looking for their demon container. In order to hide the fact that Naruto is vulnerable, some of the other Genin(and maybe their Jounin sensei's) are to transform into Naruto and go around the village as him in shifts to keep the illusion that he is up and about as normal. How will they react to how 'Naruto' is treated, afterall they won't know all the things that Naruto does such as which shops will allow him in, which places to avoid, maybe that Naruto doesn't bother cleaning his apartment too much because someone will break in and trash it. What would happen if the Genin's were to run into their own family while transformed. The story would focus on this chance for the Rookie Nine to discover a little about their classmate and how well they really know him. Will the things they learn affect their behaviour towards him in the future.
Another variation of this that I really want to see is back when Naruto was in the Academy. Have the jounin sensei's take Naruto's place, of course this would require an alternate universe in which Akatsuki became active early and Naruto presumably was injured in a backfired prank. How would the jounins respond to taking a test and knowing they answered the questions correctly(also maybe a little surprised about what they teach in the Academy these days since some of this was chuunin level when they learned it) and yet they were still failed, having Genjutsu used on them to unbalance them during practical exams, having dificulty buying basic suplies such as ninja weapons and even the basic academy scrolls for study, and punishments for imaginary reasons. After Naruto is well and ready to go back to school they test him fairly and find while he is missing many basic concepts Naruto shows exceptional potential to be passing at all given the handicaps the chuunin put on him. Knowing that he won't be helped by the academy they maybe arange to tutor him on the side. How would that effect the outcome of things. This version is focused on adults learning just how much this kid goes through first hand and maybe they come to admire him for what he has accomplished on his own with little to no help.
What do you think? A good idea for a story or what?
