---Once they get to the village---
Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto arrive at the village. They see dozens of cats wandering the streets. They bump into a bright green one.
"Hey! Watch where you are going!" The green cat says.
"…Lee?" Sakura asks in disbelief.
"Huh? …Sakura?"
"Lee, not you too!"
"When I woke up, the last thing I remembered was training with Gai–sensei, and then – this!"
"Do you know who did it?" Sasuke asks him.
"Are you Sasuke?"
"Yeah."
"And I'm Naruto." Naruto steps forward.
"Oh! …I do not know who is behind this, but when I find out-!
Another cat comes their way. It is tan, with strange markings on its forehead. Its eyes are solid purple. "Hm, three more cats – group 7, I suppose?" the tan cat says smugly.
"And I suppose you're Neji?" Naruto asks, annoyed.
"Yes."
"…." Naruto begins to laugh at him. "Ha! You're a cat, too!"
"We're all cats, you fool. …We must have been destined for this cruel fate."
"Oh, will you shut up about destiny?" Naruto rolls his eyes.
Someone walks toward the cats; a human. The other cats flee, including Lee and Neji, but Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto remain. For the human is Kakashi, and he is coming straight toward them. When he gets to them, he bends down to the ninjas-turned-kitties. "Well, aren't you three cute. Are you guys strays?" He reaches down and pats Sasuke. Sasuke glares at him, fixing him with a death stare. "I have been wanting some cats. Maybe I'll take you guys in."
Before they can react, Kakashi lifts them into his arms, and carries them away. Lee and Neji, while hiding from Kakashi, watch helplessly as Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura are taken in as pets.
