Sasuke watched in disdain as the bracelet clamped shut on his left wrist.

He instantly felt the chakra in him go blank. He tried to summon some of it, but came up with nothing.

"As you've seen, Sasuke, this bracelet was, um, specially created to withstand any amount of chakra that you try to summon. The harder you try, the weaker you become, so I suggest you not to summon for it in the next six months." Lady Tsunade said, as she leaned back on her chair.

"Can I take it off?" Sasuke asked.

Lady Tsunade shook her head.

As Sasuke turned his back on her, and was about to walk out, he bumped into Hyuuga Hinata.

"What is she doing here?" he asked, stone face.

At this, Lady Tsunade smiled. "You know how I said I had two conditions about coming back to the village? This is the second one. Sasuke, meet your jailkeeper; Hyuuga Hinata."

Silence.

Then, "So I'm going to stay in jail after all?" Sasuke asked, glancing at the tip of his nails.

Lady Tsunade rolled her eyes. "No, you idiot! Hinata is to watch over you, keep you in check, and so forth. She's going to be living with you, which I know will not bother you one bit."

"What about her father?" he asked.

"Hinata's father has agreed to it, seeing it as a challenge in Hinata's training. Who knows, maybe she'll surpass even you."

At this, Sasuke let out a startled laugh.
