Sasuke used a space/time technique to get in front of Naruto and said "the last time, I didn't kill you because I didn't want to gain power the way that my brother told me to. Now I'm going to kill you on a whim," and before anyone could move ran Naruto through with a Chidori running through his sword. Naruto fell to the ground and started to shake due to the electricity coursing through his body. After Naruto fell to the ground Yamato used Mokuton: Daijurin no Jutsu to force Sasuke away from him. Sai rushed to stand before Naruto while Sakura quickly slid beside him to see that there was a green sheen covering Naruto.

Orochimaru appeared beside Sasuke standing at the top of the hole that was the roof of the base that they were at. He said "Ohh, that's interesting" seeing the green light surrounding Naruto.

"Let's go" Sasuke said, completely uninterested. Their bodies started to disappear follower by flickering flames as their bodies wafted in the breeze. "Don't come after me again" Sasuke said just before his head completely disappeared.

Yamato came up to Sakura and asked, "what is going on Sakura?"

"I don't know. I've never seen or heard of anything like this."

"Well we better get him back to Konoha as soon as possible. Let's go."

"That might not be the best idea right now."

"What?"

"Well, I've never experienced something like this before so it might not be the best idea to move him right now." Naruto screamed in agony as his body started to shimmer. "Naruto!" Sakura exclaimed. "Hmm, I could use a jutsu to dull the pain but I don't know what good it would do…Yamato-Taichou, could you use your Mokuton Jutsu to repair the roof and make a bed to keep Naruto on. We can go look through Orochimaru's research to see if anything similar to, this,…" she pointed at Naruto "…has happened before."

"Very well" Yamato said, clasping his hands together simultaneously repairing the roof and making a bet to keep Naruto on for the time being. Then he, Sakura and Sai left and went to search the base for Orochimaru's research data.

By nine o'clock the next day Sakura, Yamato and Sai couldn't find anything so Sakura went to check on Naruto. Naruto was still covered by a green light, but now his hair had turned red and grown out so it, when he was standing, would reach about halfway down his back. Sakura couldn't be sure either, but it seemed that his hips had widened and his waist had shrunk a little.

6 hours later, Sakura, still having failed to find anything related to the phenomena that was changing her friend, came up with a theory and she went to Yamato. She said "come with me taichou." Yamato and Sakura went to where Naruto was still covered in the green light, though this time the widened hips and shrunken waist were now quite evident, as were the two lumps on his chest. "I've come up with a theory, though I would have to talk with a Byakugan user to confirm it, but I think that, if I remember correctly, peoples chakra vibrates with a different frequency from person to person, and the vibrations are further defined by gender. The chakra that a female has, vibrates at a higher level than a man's. That's why there are more female medic-nins than there are male. A faster vibratory rate means that there is less time between chakra…well, pulses I suppose would fit best, making it easier to mould and control your chakra. Are you with me so far?"

"Kind of."

"Well, that will do. What I think happened is that when Sasuke stabbed Naruto it went straight into his chakra well and, because of the lightning charging through it, caused his chakra to vibrate at a higher frequency that it normally would and now, his body is not slowing the vibratory rate of his chakra down, but changing his body to adapt to the new chakra. Now this has probably only happened because of his being a Jinchuuriki. Buutttt…"

Yamato sighed and said "Naruto will still try to control his chakra the same way that he always has, but now that the…vibratory rate was it?…" Sakura nodded "…has gotten closer together, he will end up using more in his jutsu than is necessary, causing some to fail completely."

"And others to go out of control, yes."

Yamato sighed and said "he'll have to be sidelined while he relearns how to use his chakra."

"Naruto…" Sakura said sadly, looking at her friend.

The green glow dissipated and Naruto stirred a little and started to sit up and then lay back down. Yamato asked "what just happened?"

Sakura sighed and said "he's probably sleeping now that the changes are completed."

Yamato's eyes widened and he exclaimed "sleeping?"

"Yes, it can't have been easy on his body, going through such a drastic change all at once. Well, we'd better see if we can find an armoury then."

"An armoury?" Sai asked in confusion, coming in at the end of the conversation.

"Well, he can't exactly go back to Konoha dressed like that, can he?"

"No, I guess not."

"You guess not…"

"Now just calm down Sakura."

"I guess he really is dickless now" Sai, completely ignoring Sakura's current state, said just before getting nailed by a chakra reinforced punch thanks to Sakura.

Two hours later Yamato found the armoury and called Sai and Sakura with directions to his position. Soon enough they joined him in the armoury and he said "Sakura, it's up to you now…we don't really have any experience in this part…"

"Right" Sakura said as she entered the room. She went directly to the part where all the female clothes were and started going through them. Soon enough she found some clothes that would fit Naruto. She picked them up and called out "all done Yamato-Taichou."

"Sakura, come over here." Sakura went over to where Yamato was checking out the weapons that Orochimaru had collected. There were many different weapons, ranging from bows to spears and from shuriken to swords. "You know Naruto better than any of us, what do you think that he…uhh…she…would like?"

"Hmm, well, it's been more than two years that I haven't seen him for, but in the time that I've known him, he's only ever used kunai and shuriken."

"Hmm, that's no good then."

"Why's that?"

"Because, as she is now she shouldn't be able to enter into a melee fight like she used to."

"Oh, I see…so, what do you suggest?"

Yamato sighed and said "I don't really know myself."

"Why don't we let her decide for herself, I mean, there are more than enough non-melee weapons here."

"Ooh, what're these…" Sakura said as she went to touch one of two colourful daggers in front of her(see here). She went to touch one when Yamato grabbed her arm and said "don't touch that!"

"Wha…Why not?"

"Those daggers look like the twin daggers of Mito Uzumaki…the first Hokage's wife. They, if the reports are true, can only be handled by an Uzumaki without immense pain, or even death, resulting…how in the world did Orochimaru get his hands on these?"

"Well, at the very least we have found some weapons that Naruto can use" Sai said.

"Yes. Sakura, you take those clothes to Naruto and we'll keep on looking here to see what else Orochimaru has sequestered away."

"Hai, Yamato-Taichou."
