Later that evening, Shuji stood on top of the Hokage Monument, specifically on top of the Second Hokage. He gazed over the village of Konoha. Tenten appeared behind him. She expected some sort of reaction out of him but he just continued to look outward. She slowly approached him.

"Shuji? You have everyone worried." She said.

"Help me." He said without turning.

Tenten studies him for a moment. He seemed so sad and lonely. Finally he turns to look at her.

"Tenten, help me. Help me not to give in to the wild things that are racing through my mind."

Tenten was a little taken back by the comment but quickly shrugged it off. Shuji takes her hand and begins to pat it.

"Help me see the way you do."

"Shuji, you can all ready see better than I."

"I see more. More is not always better."

"We'll talk about it. But right now I have to take you back to the hospital."

Shuji nods his head, willing to be assisted as she leads him away.

Shuji lied on a bed, only this time he's restrained to it. He is still struggling to regain control over his emotions. The doctor is over him going over his charts and test results. Yukino is also in the room with her Sekigan activated. She was keeping a record of his body heat. Tenten was outside the room talking to her brother.

"…and then we got him down her so the doctor could examine him." Tenten said.

"Was he violent at all?" Satori asked.

"No, but he was very upset. He kept talking about how he wanted normal eyes."

"I'm going to be in the room with Yukino and the doctor to see if they need assistance." Satori said.

Tenten went to leave but stopped for a moment. She untied her forehead protector and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She then began feeling strange. Finally, she left the building.

Meanwhile, the doctor gave Shuji a shot that seemed to calm his emotions. Satori walked up to him, curious on Shuji's status.

"According to my tests, there is nothing wrong with him."

"Everyone in that village died. Is there any chance that whatever killed them is loose in the village?"

"If you mean a disease, then I'd say there is no chance of it. We examined each team member carefully…"

"The entire village managed to kill themselves. If it wasn't a disease then I what else could've done that?"

"The obvious alternatives would be in areas of insanity and emotional upset. "

"Tenten reported that he was longing for normal eyesight."

"Well, he has normal eyesight. If he were full blooded Uchiha and unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan then he'd eventually go blind." Yukino said. "If I didn't know any better then I'd say he's drunk."

"Our tests would've shown anything like that in his system." The doctor said.

At that time, Hanako came walking in with a binder full of papers.

"We have found information on the effects to what is happening to Shuji-kun." She said.

"What?"

"Hokage-sama sent me along with Katianna and Masaki back to the village to examine the village itself and we all came up with these results."

The doctor took the binder and opened. His eyes scrolled down the pages.

"Due to the atmospheric conditions in that area of the country which somehow resulted in complex strings in water molecules which then acquired carbon from the body and acted on the brain like alcohol." The doctor said aloud.

He turned to Hanako with a smile and a relieved look on his face.

"Great job. I'll get to work on a treatment immediately.

Shortly later, Yukino entered her house. It was just her living there but from the looks of the place, it looked as if someone else was there. She just stared at the room in annoyance. A number of her clothes were draped over furniture. Tenten entered the room from another room. She seemed slightly agitated and appeared to be sweating slightly. She held one of Yukino's dresses up against her body, judging it.

"What are you doing, Tenten?" Yukino asked.

"I need your advice. That's why I came to your place."

"Of course. Anything I can do for you."

"On clothes. You always wear such beautiful clothes and your hair is always nice. I want to change my image. What about this color?"

"Not for you, Tenten. It seems as if you are fighting something."

She reached out and took Tenten's hand comfortingly.

Tenten pulled her hand away and dropped the dress.

"Never mind. I'm sure the store will have what I need."

"Tenten, wait…"

Tenten walked out not listening to Yukino. Yukino, still wearing her radio, touched the button on her collar.

"Satori, this is Yukino. It would appear that Tenten is infected too."

"It's actually not an infection." Satori said.

"Yes I know it's more like intoxication but whatever it is, Tenten's got it."

"Thanks, Yukino. Satori to Junshin, my sister has the equivalent of a slizzard."

"What the hell is a slizzard?"

"Forget it. Could you go find her and take her to the hospital?"

"Will do."

The house is dimly lit and provocative. A knock at the door but no one answered. Finally the door opened and Junshin stood in the doorway, a bit hesitant but he decided to enter the house.

"Tenten?"

No answer. He slowly looks around and then begins to walk up the stairs. He walked down the hallway and stood in between Satori's and Tenten's bedrooms.

"Tenten?"

"In here, Junshin."

The door to Tenten's bedroom opened, revealing a very scantly clad Tenten. Junshin was a bit shocked by the sight. Her voice has changed too. It sounded a bit sultry.

"You wanted me?"

Tenten moved dreamily to Junshin as if she were floating. Junshin wasn't quite sure how to react.

"Satori wanted me to take you to the hospital."

"Did he say when?"

"I'm sure he meant now. So if you need time to get changed…"

"I got out of my usual clothes for you, Junshin." She said.

"But I think that you should really get…"

"I'm sixteen almost seventeen. I want is to feel wanted. I want gentleness, joy and love."

Tenten reached out and caressed Junshin's face. Junshin shifted his weight, unsure of what to do. But now he was in the clutches of what was going around the village. All rational thought left his mind as he looked into his girlfriend's eyes and allowed her finger to run across his cheek.

"I'll make you feel wanted, gentleness, joy and love." He said.

"That is exactly what I had hoped." She said.

Her smile was provocative and full of promise. Junshin tentatively smiled back as he was led into the bed room and the door closed.
