And that's when it happen, the mission Team seven will receive, the piece of paper that saved Sasuke, and cause him to change.

An owl knocked on her window with its beak, a letter attached to its leg.
End of Recap
"Shizune!"
Shizune ran to the fifth Hokage, with Ton-Ton in her arms.
"Yes, Hokage-sama?"
"I need to prepare a meeting; this meeting is needs to be classified with the top agents guarding the outside, and with no interruptions."
"Right, how long is this meeting and when will it begin?"
"It'll start as soon as the client gets here, and then I need to have a 'break' and then resume."
"I will gather the best." With that Shizune left to find guards. As she went to the small mission, she thought to herself, "break? What is she planning, just to start the meeting and then to stop and add a few people?"

Back with Dumbledore, inside his office
----
"Headmaster, is that really needed? The circumstances are not that dyer."
"Oh, I believe it is. All of you should understand that the Ministry of Magic is now giving us a teacher from their office. There are people at the Ministry that are corrupted with Voldemort, and some
cannot be trusted."
"Are you saying Voldemort's followers are still around in the Ministry, Headmaster?"
"They are still very much active today, but they do so in secret within the shadows. The Ministry will try to out me as bad and may try to give fatal blows to Hogwarts."
"You mean they will attack us, and say you planned it?"
"Not quite, but it is a theory, and we cannot tell the new Dark Arts teacher any of what's being said here or say a word where they are from"
"Understood, but why should we trust ninja?"
Every teacher standing around Dumbledore waited impatiently for the answer.
"Because, they are loyal to their word, you think I put the Sorcerer's Stone where Harry found it? No, at the time when Harry was born we had ninjas here in secret. They were from Fire Country, a complete utter dimension I stumbled on accident before any of your time. Finding no better people, I asked for their help. Weeks ago, I watched them in silence under a spell that made me invisible, but also undetectable from their keen senses. They will gain money for their much needed village that was completely destroyed and is now being rebuilt. I will be the one paying for the expenses and I trust this village."
"That's absurd Dumbledore, not will you be paying for a whole village! But you will also be trusting a shady group of people. Who will pick these people out, them or us?"
"Money is not the problem, when I transfer Wizard money to yen, it will be plenty. These people are not that shady, I have been watching them for years, more years than you have lived, Severus. Their leader, known as Hokage in that village will hand pick the best and I will go there to approve."
"Yen? They are not even close to our culture, Japanese have different ways, and furthermore you should have one of us go with you and-"
"Are you questioning my powers? I will meet their Hokage by myself and I will bring them here to guard to strengthen Hogwarts weakening defenses. Their culture in that dimension is to adapt to their surroundings, don't be rude to them in any manner." As Dumbledore said the last phase, he eyed Snape in the utmost manner that was not quite a glare.
Dumbledore continued, "I will be leaving in an hour, and I will be back soon."
----
Back at the Village hidden in the Leaves
----
"Tsunade, the guards are now in position, and will trust everything can be handled?"
"I can take care of myself, no guards can be in here anyway."
"Right."
"Shizune? Tell them to keep eyes everywhere, Naruto climbs through vents randomly to eavesdrop."
Shizune bowed and left.
"Naruto, get out of the ceiling!"
"Aw, but it was about to get good granny."
"Do not call me that Naruto, you will be called in here after bit anyway, so leave."
"A mission? Where the Sand, or maybe somewhere else?"
"Leave!"
Naruto left before 'Granny' could get mean.
Tsunade poured Sake into a cup and sipped slowly.
----
Naruto walked into Sasuke's room.
----
"Hey Sasuke, I don't know if you can hear me or not. Though, I want to say something. I want to say revenge is useless, I love this village so when they turned their back on me and called me a monster. I still didn't hate them; in fact I wanted to protect them. It was hard at times, but I realized hate, won't bring joy or happiness to anyone."
Naruto watched the Monitors beep, and sighed switching from watching Sasuke to looking outside.
Naruto started talking watching children play outside, "I know what happen with Itachi, I know it was a setup, he was ordered to do what he did. But, he must've loved this village a lot to do his mission, and knew the outcome in the end. He was smart and strong from the encounters I had with him, and Akatsuki never attacked when he was alive. So, he had to be good, and…" Naruto trailed off in thought. And he almost whispered, "It was only some bad leaders in Konoha, not all of the village."
Naruto, still deep in thought didn't notice that the charka drains stopped draining awhile ago. Sasuke's eyes opened a little bit, enough to see the sadness and hate within them. Before closing again with a tear for Itachi escaped.
The Hokage set down her empty cup as a crackling sound was heard.
Looking up at the well aged man, she smiled, "Long time no see, why request this meeting?"
Dumbledore's twinkle in his eye seem to never leave him, "Straight to business today? Well as you know, we are in debt to you for all the other times. Now it seems as we need more help, Hokage-sama." He bowed
Tsunade waited for him to go on.
"This time, for you help I am willing to pay half the amount it would take to rebuild this village. In terms of service of course."
"And what terms of service do you mean Albus?"
"As you know, I have been watching your village, even when it first developed. Watching something grow, brings an understanding. I've gained to trust this village, and your supreme leadership. Others back home, have not seen what I have and therefore does not trust this village completely. But they will respect it, since I trust it."
"I do not like repeating myself, terms of service?"
"Merely to have your people agree not to harm my students, or faulty under anything when they do not have my consent. Or, the animals living on the grounds unless they attack them first but cannot kill them unless it means they will attack Hogwarts. That they must listen to me as if Hokage, unless it means they go against you of course." Dumbledore smiled waiting for the Hokage to talk.
"So the mission is to protect this school, and to defend it. Is there a certain amount of people you wish to have?"
"Yes, but to mostly watch Harry Potter he seems to find himself in trouble. Whatever you deem as enough to guard an entire castle like school will be fine with me."
"Why are you defenses down as they are?"
"Voldemort has came back, and seems to cause trouble with the mindset of people. Who's to know who to trust."
"Who's to say I can trust you?"
"Bold as ever I see, but that is up to you. Trust whom you must, question whom you must."
The two leaders who are forever in their history, staring at each other broke out into an understanding handshake.
"I'll call in some of my best. But I must warn you, there is one to keep an eye on.
----
Back with Naruto and sleeping coma induced Sasuke.
----
The Hokage walked in, with a man that was old and dressed strangely.
"Baa-chan, who's the senile old man, is he even allowed in here?"
"Naruto! Show respect to your new client, and me. It's time to wake Sasuke; we do not know where his allies lie. If you must stay in this room, you will remain quiet."
A few moments later, Sasuke fully awaken, opening his eyes.
"Sasuke, do not move, your charka is still barely there. Your still recovering, do you remember everything that had happen before this?"
(Spoiler warning)
The Uchiha remembered everything, Madara was there, he told him everything, and Naruto over heard. But, that's when the black fire happen. After being hidden, and explaining everything, Madara had come out to show who he was. Apparently, Itachi had to where if Madara was to appear to Sasuke, black fire from the Sharingan would come out and kill him. Itachi had given his powers to Sasuke; he had given up his honor, his life for the village, even lives for the clan. But his older brother didn't give him to the village; he couldn't kill his little brother.
Then when Madara died with the black flames of hell, Naruto appeared. Then Zetsu appeared, wanting to take Madara's place and make Sasuke Akatsuki.
So, Naruto and Sasuke killed Zetsu. Then, Sasuke was barely conscious, and Naruto took him home, yes, he remembered everything clearly.
Sasuke looked up at Tsunade and the strange old man and said, "Yes, did you know of Itachi's innocence?"
Tsunade looked at him, "No, but Naruto was forced to tell me everything."
Sasuke looked away in thought
"Are you set out on revenge, Sasuke?"
"Everything changed, I have changed."
Tsunade nodded and began to talk, "You have a mission, to redeem yourself as one of us."
Sasuke thought, "I have changed in means of darkness, it has grown stronger. I want everything dead, everything. But I'll be good for now, wait until I come back."
"Naruto will help you get ready, and you will wait for him and both arrive at my office in twenty minutes."
----
Walking away from the hospital, Dumbledore looked at her, "Are you sure he's ready to be trusted?"
"I have no idea, but as for your past debt. It is gone if you are to approve of him on this mission. Just keep a close eye on him, and I need you to understand that it was not an easy decision to let him on this mission."
"Yes, of course, but did you not ask him how he changed?"
"This Uchiha case is to be treated delicately, if to see the results you want. Naruto may be the only one to get through to him, and with the village's hateful, misunderstanding gaze of him. He's still changing."
