Far away from the devastate forest where the Akatsuki member Sasori of the Red Sand met with an untimely end at the hands of Naruto who had released the Kyuubi from his seal to exact his revenge for the now deceased puppet master treatment of Sakura. Naruto had been lying on the ground in forest on some island located three countries away from where trashing of Sasori took place. However rather then looking like the demon fox he had released, Naruto had the appearance he took during the moment before he transformed into medium size version of Kyuubi.

Minutes turned hours and hours turned into days as Naruto just laid there unmoving until finally almost week after massacre of Sasori, he began to stir as he brought a clawed hand to his face

'I fell like crap what the hell happened after I release the seal' he thought as he wonder is this what it felt like when baa-chan drunk too much and someone had to help her home or at least over to the couch that was placed in the Hokage's office just for occasion when she gotten like this.

Upon opening his now red eyes, the blond with red tinted hair was shocked that he was looking up at the bright clear blue sky. Which unless the afterlife had sky like this he was pretty much a shock to still be alive let alone in control of his body from the looks of things. After removing the seal, Naruto thought that he was honestly going to die as he might have been able to keep Kyuubi sealed within him but once that seal had been remove he was sure dying was the only fate awaiting him. Since using his four tail Jinchuriki form shorten his life from the strain of the demonic chakra course through him. Let it all out at once should destroyed his body completely. Yet here he was perfectly fine and seemly in control as well. The blond was about to pinch himself when he noticed that he did not have normal fingernails anymore but claws instead. Opening his mouth he felt that his teeth had were fangs instead of normal human teeth. Although he had these thing he did not feel the Kyuubi's charka that usual accompany this changes.

'Just what happen to me after ripping off the seal' he thought as he expected releasing the seal to either kill him instantly and simple trust that Kyuubi leave Konoha alone as payment for being release.

Slowly though what occurred after his memory went blank came back to him as he saw as a nine-tailed demon fox completely destroying everything that was being throw at it then Sakura being made to slowly and painfully torture Sasori who was under genjustu that made him feel pain. He soon realized that this demon fox was himself when he saw the demon fox transform back into him after collapsing in the same spot that he in right now.

At this thought Naruto then wondered maybe for some strange reason instead of dying or having the Kyuubi take over his body when he release him, that the two of them had merged into a single being with him as the dominated persona. Though how his conscious managed to absorb the Kyuubi's leaving him in control of the demon fox's vast knowledge and power was beyond him.

"I guess being the number one ninja at surprising people includes myself" Naruto thought out loud as never in million years did he think that his conscious was strong enough completely overcome the strongest tailed demon's while the two were merging together.

"Sakura" Naruto yelled as began looking around for his wooden teammate who he was absolute certain was here with him just not sure where she was at the moment. It was not like she could be that far away from where he was since she was unable to move on her own yet he had been out cold for unknown length of time thus it was possible that while he was unconscious, someone or something could come and taken her. As for all intending and purposes, Sakura at the moment looked like she was nothing more then very well crafted, detailed, and incredibly life like human size puppet.

Jerking his head all around in search of the pink hair teen, Naruto finding found her though quickly turned his head once he had as Sakura was lying facing away from him over log about twenty feet away from the blond's current location. Though because her body was facing away from Naruto and she still completely naked the question of if Sakura was still anatomically correct in her puppet form was answer the moment Naruto had laid his eyes on her.

As he inched his way over to Sakura trying to respect her privacy and not leer at her naked body. Which was rather hard since she was, even if she did not think so, had always been among the most beautiful female in Konoha. That why when she asked him if she had been more womanly when they first met after he returned from his training trip he told her no. The reason he said so was because he always found her more then womanly enough thus he felt the answer was clear.

Though he dislike agreeing with that inhuman bastard about this there was no denying that Sakura was beautiful yet Naruto was actually glad in how he killed Sasori as that was probably the perfect punishment for someone like him. To be slowly taken apart piece by piece while still alive and by one of his victims who he forcefully did this too.

Once he had managed to make his way over to her, Naruto took over his jacket (which strangely enough he noticed that despite transforming in demon his clothes were not destroyed in the process) dressed Sakura in it. Since he was bigger then her it managed to cover her up down past her thighs. Ripping off the legs to his pants, Sakura also had makeshift skirt to go with the covering what Naruto's jacket did not.

"I wonder if I should just break….no I can not do that as I do not want to hurt Sakura in any way" Naruto said as looked at her tail which then decided to use as belt to keep her makeshift skirt on.

"There now that make you look a lot better, Sakura" Naruto said as he stood her up against a tree though she could not respond to what he was saying Naruto refused to treat her like a thing or something that could be owned. Despite her current form this was still Sakura his teammate and one of his most precious people, thus she deserve to treated like person.

"Just you wait I will get you back to normal but first I am going to find some way to at least restore your conscious for now" he told as lifted her onto his shoulder so he began the process of restore Sakura to normal.

She was still alive in a way after all so there must be someway of reverting her back to her original self. Sure medical ninjutsus can rebuild flesh and other things and he was sure that the demonic ones he now knew of could do much more yet he knew of no way it could return his teammate back to normal. Her entire body had been transformed to that of puppet and there was nothing he currently knew that turn puppet into humans and vice versa. This left Naruto wondering what he was going to do now as both his teammate were now puppets in a way. Sakura was literally a puppet while Sasuke going to have his body take over by the snake bastard whenever his current body, which was lasting usually long, failed him. Thus kind of making Sasuke in a puppet as well since the snake sannin would be controlling Sasuke's body instead of him.
