Hello everyone! I hope you're all enjoying a Merry Christmas if you celebrate it. Otherwise Happy Holidays! In any case though, here's the next chapter of the series. It's sort of a mini-arc that I'll work on wrapping up next chapter. Main reason being is that I can get rid of two birds with one stone by doing so! In any case, sit back and enjoy the chapter!...but first...yes, again...

DISCLAIMER: We all know it, I don't own Naruto or any of its stuff. That belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, Shueisha, Viz Media, TV Tokyo Co., and Shonen Jump, and some other content creators. And that I own the story itself and any techniques I come up with. Now on with the story!


Chapter 9: Memory Dive

Forest of Death, Konohagakure, Land of Fire

The group of Anbu, Anko, and the Third Hokage, who had entered the Training Ground, and strangely enough, the redhead Naruto had saved earlier, were all still a bit flabbergasted at what they just saw.

They were following the lead Naruto left them on his paper for the first exam, and also grabbed Anko, who was furious with herself for not realizing the ninja that could extend their tongue was none other than her estranged master. She would have been banging her head against something if she had the time to do so.

As for the redhead, who named herself as Karin Uzumaki, much to the surprise of the Konoha Nin, had been picked up by them earlier. They happened to come across her on their way towards where sensory ninja had picked up Orochimaru's chakra. She in fact noticed them as they were passing by, and when they realized both her teammates were dead, they decided to help her out, though Hiruzen straight up ordered it when she told them her name and the fact she worked for, well now USED to work for, the Snake Sannin, who happened to lie to her about any surviving family members. He decided the best option here was to put her into protective custody, have Inochi confirm the details and possibly ask her to give them a bit of info with confirmation. She accepted the conditions, but of course laid a condition or two. The main one being that she wanted to know more about the person who could be her cousin, and secondly more about her clan. Hiruzen accepted this, as he thought it would be a nice way to give his grandson of sorts a bit of connection to his roots. Plus she wasn't originally from the village, much like Haku, she wouldn't have the absurd hatred the civilians had for him. It was an absolute win!

Though he would have to hear the whining of the civilian council and demands from the crazed war hawk. But then again, he managed to blow them off last time with Haku. He could probably do it again.

However, at the moment, they were currently in the trees a bit away from where a fight just took place. The one where Team 7 fought the Snake Sannin. They happened to get there right when Naruto asked Orochimaru one of the most absurd questions he could.

Most of the ninja were trying desperately hard to not laugh, especially when it seemed like Orochimaru had started to ponder on the thought. However, Hiruzen simply grinned as while yes, it was funny, it was actually a strategy. A dumb one, but one that worked splendidly.

Though none of them were ready for when Naruto had launched his powerful jutsu and sent Orochimaru flying. They had witnessed of all things, a genin sending a Sannin flying. Of course some of them rationalized it. They noted that Naruto while a Genin, was the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, though implicitly since it was forbidden to talk about it. Of course, Karin caught on to what they were talking about. Though half of them nearly lost it again when it was revealed that Sasuke was female. All except for Hiruzen, because now he knew that not only had Kakashi called it, but now he had to let Kurenai burn all of his 'collection'. However, there was also one other important matter.

"Anko and Karin, I will ask this of you right now. What you saw, you tell no one save for those here. The boy's form, his power, and the one girl hiding her gender. Understood?" Hiruzen asked the two.

Anko simply gave him a thumbs up as she said "No problem! Especially the first one! That was great watching him both insult, and kick, Orochi Teme's ass!

Karin simply shrugged as she replied "Sure, I'm fine with that. I get to learn more about my clan that my parents told me about, and I get to spend time with my cousin."

Hiruzen raised an eyebrow as he asked "You aren't afraid of him?"

"Well, he was powerful, but his chakra felt...warm. Also I've seen crazier things than a guy with fox ears and tail. For example...a guy with six arms, one with two heads, one who can flip from shut-in to psycho killer in a moment, an annoying bastard who can literally become water, and lastly, this one guy who can pull out his spine and beat people to death with it. All of which either work for Orochimaru and/or are his experiments." Karin answered.

All of the Anbu, Anko, and Hiruzen all went silent from that, before they all replied at once.

"...are you serious?"

Karin nodded, which made many of them start to think Naruto's kitsune form was not that big of a deal.


With Team 7

As the Hokage was working on avoiding info leaks, Team 7 had moved themselves about a 20 or so minutes walk away from the battlefield, setting themselves up in a hollowed out tree.

Of course though, despite healing Sasuke's, or whatever her actual name was since they weren't quite sure, injuries, she still wasn't waking up, and was on occasion wincing in pain while in her unconscious state.

Naruto implied "It's likely that seal on her neck."

Sakura nodded, and spoke "Yeah. From what I saw, its right where Orochimaru bit her…"

Haku nodded as she said "Agreed…" before a grin appeared on her face.

Sakura deadpanned as Haku, and said "Haku, it isn't funny."

Haku simply giggled as she said "But it is. Not only did she trick everyone for years, but all the girls her age ended up fangirling for her 'boy' persona!"

Sakura simply groaned as it came back to her mind. She had learned that her dream of being with Sasuke was in fact, pointless. But then again, thanks to her recent training in the past month, and the hellish teacher that was Might Gai, she started to work on another goal. To be a strong kunoichi like Tsunade.

I should really thank Tenten later. At least I still have a goal to strive towards she thought.

Naruto was also a bit baffled by the situation. All this time it turned out his rival was in fact a girl. Naruto couldn't help but wonder if perhaps there was more his teammate was hiding.

Also, now that Sasuke's actual gender was revealed...he couldn't help but feel a strange nagging feeling in the back of his head. As if though he forgot something.

But in any case, Haku calmed herself down as she got the group to the main point.

"So, what are we going to do about that seal?"

The group was silent, contemplating for a moment before Minato spoke up.

"Naruto, make a clone for me to use. I can examine it."

"Of course duh! Seal Master!" he replied. Before the girls could ask, Naruto summoned a shadow clone and let his father take control of it, though without the transformation jutsu. It wasn't exactly a secure location they were at. The girls got it though when the clone started speaking in a much calmer voice.

"Excuse me Sakura. I need to take a closer look at the curse mark here."

Sakura nodded, surprised at how Naruto's voice, even if Minato was currently in control, actually sounded kind of cool when he wasn't being a loudmouth.

Minato put his hand on the seal as he then probed it with his chakra. He then grimaced as he came to understand the messed up jutsu Orochimaru created.

"I have to say, I thought Orochimaru couldn't get lower, but now I can say that he's even worse than I thought."

The others looked a bit worried. Naruto asked his father "How bad? Is she going to die!?"

Minato shook his head and explained his findings.

"Yes and no. As it could kill her, but from what I can tell she would likely survive. The problem is what that snake put in there. First, he seemed to use the DNA of some sort of kekkai genkai so that the curse mark can forcibly draw in nature chakra, which in unhealthy amounts, can be quite bad. It can even drive a person insane without proper training. And that isn't even the worst of it."

Naruto asked his father "What exactly is nature chakra?"

Minato held up a finger as he replied "Nature chakra is basically the energy, or chakra, that comes from the surroundings rather than from within. With proper training, it's possible to absorb some of this, and thus, gain a boost in both chakra and natural abilities. Though due to how nature chakra is hard to control, absorbing too much at once can lead to death. I know this since I have such training...and before you ask Naruto, we'll get to that later."

The team nodded at the additional info, and then Sakura asked "So then, what's worse?"

Minato frowned and spoke "Orochimaru sealed a part of his soul in there for multiple reasons. First, to control the influx of nature chakra. Second, he can forcibly influence the bearer's mind from within, turning them on their friends and possibly into his loyal subjects…the third part though...it seems that it's possible for Orochimaru to use it to forcibly take over the bearer's body. He likely put it on Sasuke in order to get the Sharingan."

The group paled at the thought, realizing just how much in danger their teammate was. She could go crazy and end up basically being as a meatsack for Orochimaru to take over.

"What do we do dad!? We don't want her to die!" Naruto said with a bit of panic. However, Minato chuckled a bit.

"Don't worry Naruto. What's lesson number 21?"

Naruto pondered a bit and answered "Uuuhh...don't fuck up?"

Minato sighed "No, that's lesson 2. Lesson 21 is anything is possible with fuinjutsu."

"Wait so does that mean!?" Naruto beamed at his father with a big smile.

"Yes, but I won't be able to do this alone here." Minato said to them.

Sakura asked "What do you mean Lord 4th?"

Minato then explained his plan.

"Essentially, what we need to do is remove Orochimaru's soul from the seal, destroy it if possible. If we remove it I should be able to get rid of the rest of the curse mark. In order to do that, I'll need to have you three enter Sasuke's mindscape here. Though due to what's going on with her right now, you'll have to navigate through her memories until you can find Orochimaru. He's likely using her darkest memory in hopes of influencing her."

Haku noticed something as she asked "So basically, we're doing something similar to the Yamanakas? I thought their mindwalking was a clan jutsu?"

Sakura commented "Ugh, I hate the idea of using something like Ino-Pig's jutsu...and I can't even gloat about doing it first since Sasuke isn't actually a guy!"

Minato shrugged at Sakura's reaction before he said "Well it is based off the Yamanaka's jutsu. It's just I was recently able to reverse engineer it due to spending time in Naruto's own mindscape."

The group nodded as they accepted the sort of pseudo mission.

Naruto then yelled "Alright! What are we waiting for!?"

Minato then told them "Alright, I need you all to hold onto a part of me. And just so you know, you won't be able to directly interact with any memories save for whatever Orochimaru is trying to abuse, alright?"

The genins nodded as they all grabbed onto one of Minato's (still looking like Naruto, by the way) shoulders. He then made a seal on his hand with chakra alone, and the moment said hand came into contact with the curse mark, the world went black for the genins as their minds connected to Sasuke's.


Inside Sasuke's Mindscape

As their eyes opened, the group found themselves somewhere quite familiar. It was the ninja academy, and in fact, in the classroom they had used for several years even.

"What the heck, why are we here?" Naruto looked around a bit confused.

Sakura replied to him "Naruto, we're in Sasuke's mind remember? Perhaps this is his memory of the place."

Suddenly a voice came from besides them, and it was feminine.

"Indeed...sigh that blond bastard fucking owes me for this one."

The group looked to the side of them to see a woman they didn't recognize standing next to them. She had long, wild red hair and wore a black kimono.

What they did recognize though was the red eyes with slits, the fox ears, and the nine tails that came out her back.

Sakura ended up asking what was on everyone's mind.

"K-Kyuubi?"

She simply smirked as she replied "Yes, it is I, the almighty Kyuubi!"

Naruto looked a bit confused as he then said "Wait, aren't you male?"

The Kyuubi sighed "Nope. I just think acting as a male has a better intimidation factor. Plus most of you annoying fleshbags end up going on and on about the whole 'oh she's a girl, she's totally weak' bullshit. Also, before Pinky here started taking her training seriously, she was a prime example of that!"

"Hey!"

Haku then asked "So why are you showing us...this...now?"

"Well, Minato thought it might be a good idea for me to help you due to one of my particular abilities Naruto doesn't have access to yet, the ability to sense negative emotions. Plus since this is a mental projection of myself, I can't use that voice change I normally do. And lastly do you really think I could fit in this dump of an academy in my actual size?" The Kyuubi explained to them.

The group nodded before Sakura yelled "Hey! This place isn't a dump, we learned a lot here!"

The Kyuubi then gave her a short glare before she said "Oh? You mean the same place where teachers would remove the blond brat here from class for no reason before starting an important lesson, doing nothing as older brats beat him into the dirt, never replacing his textbooks that had been stolen, or even how half the time the teachers would fail him on tests even if he had the right answers? Only real plus sides to this shithole was that one fleshbag Iruka actually treated him fairly as well as that Pineapple head, the chubby one, and that one pale eyes that was in the back. Sasuke too if you think about it. Oh and the pranks, those were fun to watch."

The two girls looked shocked as they looked at Naruto. Sakura knew that the blond was the dead last back in the Academy, but she never realized until the Kyuubi said it that a majority of the teachers and some of the other students had despised the boy and constantly harassed him. She also put together it was likely due to how the Kyuubi was sealed inside of him, and thus the irrational hatred of the civilians and not as bright shinobi became aimed at him. Haku was inwardly furious that people would treat him in such a manner. He had a kind soul, yet had to deal with such treatment?

"I-I'm sorry Naruto...I didn't know." Sakura apologized. Sakura guessed that was probably part of the reason why the boy always gravitated towards her. She didn't treat him like a monster at least, but she still couldn't help but feel bad.

Naruto shrugged as he said "It's okay Sakura. At least I got out of that place. And besides, they call me dead last, then I'll be the underdog!"

Haku put a hand on his shoulder as she added "We're here if you need us Naruto-kun...also want to prank those stupid teachers after the exams are over?"

Naruto grinned as he and Haku then shook their hands. While Sakura wanted to feel some pity for their targets, she also thought they would be getting what they deserved.

Their moment was interrupted as the door to the classroom opened, revealing Sasuke in his brand new headband as she walked over towards her spot near the window and sat down, looking outside.

What happened next confused the group.

"Today's the day for team assignments. I hope I get a good team...without one of the fangirls. I still find it confusing as to why when I act like an asshole they gravitate towards me."

As the feminine voice spoke, the Kyuubi explained.

"We're in the crossdresser's mind idiots. What you're hearing are her thoughts when the event happened."

Naruto then laughed and said "Really? Oh my kami that hilarious! She must have been acting like an ass to try and avoid people, but look what happened! That's priceless!"

Sakura sighed "That's why she acted so distant? I just thought she was a troubled bad boy that needed love to fill his suffering soul."

Haku shrugged as she replied to the pinkette "Well, you and probably all of her other fangirls."

The scene then played out as the many other graduates entered the room, including Naruto.

"Wait. I thought Naruto-kun failed!?...doesn't matter. It's good that he passed. Maybe he'll be on my team. I know he can be stronger...I'll need it when I confront Nii-San…"

"Wait, who's Nii-san?" Naruto questioned with a tilt of his head.

Sakura then answered "I think if I remember right, her older brother was the one who massacred her clan."

Naruto's eyes widened as he yelled "Wait a sec? So she wasn't kidding when she said she wanted to kill someone!?"

"Guess that's one reason why she distanced herself...as well as trying to keep her gender a secret." Haku said.

As things played out as before, they got to the point where Naruto and Sasuke ended up in a kiss.

Naruto couldn't help but note "Well, at least now that I know Sasuke is a chick, it's not as bad now."

Sakura couldn't help but nod to that...meanwhile Haku was on the floor laughing, and Kyuubi was laughing as well as she remembered Naruto's own thoughts at the time.

"Crap! Naruto-kun is kissing me! This probably would raise questions if I look like I like it! Wait, I know!"

Then the group watched as Sasuke acted like she had just ate poison, which made it seem like she was simply a guy that was suffering from a yaoi moment.

Haku couldn't help but say "Wow Naruto, I didn't realize you were such a lady killer."

Naruto meanwhile had a blush on his face from the embarrassment. He also spoke out loud "Wait...she liked that?...no wonder I felt weird about it…"

"And it was hilarious! Especially since I knew even back then!" the Kyuubi replied between her fits of laughter. She still thought this moment was priceless.

Sakura then said "Wait...does that mean Sasuke was interested in you Naruto?"

This caused Naruto to want to hit his head on the desk, meanwhile Haku and Kyuubi were laughing at the thought that the little love triangle Team 7 had before Haku joined was even better than expected. It was literally a cycle.

Naruto yelled "I didn't realize there was any girls that liked me! But one was right in front of me the whole time! What the heck!?"


Elsewhere in the Forest of Death

"Acho!"

Hinata had a quick sneeze as she and her team traveled across the treetops and towards the tower.

Kiba asked "You alright Hinata?"

Hinata replied "I-I'm fine Kiba-kun"

Shino commented "Maybe someone was talking about you?"

Hinata in response thought Maybe it's Naruto-kun? That would be nice if he's thinking about me…


Back in the mindscape

The Kyuubi collected herself with a few breaths, and said "Well, as entertaining as this moment is, we should get moving. We'll need to go deeper in order to find Orochimaru."

Sakura replied "Right."

Just as Naruto was about to reply Iruka entered the door...and then walked right through Naruto's body.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Naruto screamed.

The Kyuubi let out a laugh before she reminded him "Brat, your father told you before that other than the part of the mindscape we're looking for we aren't able to interact with anything else, remember?"

Naruto sweatdropped as he said "Oh right...I totally remember that."

Said reaction got a giggle out of the other two girls.

The group then followed Kyuubi towards the classroom door and went through it.

After stepping through, they realized they were in another place. It looked like the inside of a house. The floors were wooden, the walls painted white, and there were also a few curtains with the Uchiha symbol on them.

"Oh I know where we are! This must be Sasuke's house she lived in before that condo she uses now!" Sakura said as she observed the surroundings.

Haku and Kyuubi both had evil grins on their faces, and asked in unison "And just how do you know that?"

Sakura chose not to answer their question. With her former dream crushed, she had been starting to realize how much of an idiot she had been. The dieting that kept her from being fit, ignoring others who could have used the help like Naruto did, and worst of all, some of the tendencies she had as a fangirl. Including stalking. And even a small shrine in her closet.

When we get back from the exams...I'm destroying all evidence of that. These two must never know… Sakura thought.

Heck, she was tempted to find a way to go back in time just so she could slap her past self.

Before they could continue embarrassing the poor girl, as well as Naruto who was going to ask them to stop, the memory played out.

From the stairwell that entered the main living room, a young Sasuke came down the stairs. They presumed that this was probably a bit before the massacre.

"Morning Tou-chan, Kaa-chan."

A beautiful woman with long, dark blue hair wearing an apron stepped out of the kitchen as she told her daughter "Good morning Sasuke." though she also sent a light glare at the man over at the couch for some reason.

The man, who had mid-length black hair and an angular face simply waved at his second child, not seeming to care much.

The group reacted to this in different ways.

Sakura commented "Wow, Sasuke's mother is beautiful."

Haku added "And the father...something tells me I wouldn't like him."

"Well from what I remember back when I was in my previous host, Mikoto Uchiha was probably one of the very VERY few Uchiha I didn't mind...the father on the other hand...give it a moment." The Kyuubi replied to the both of them.

Naruto oddly enough, was quiet. He looked like he was trying to remember something.

Why does this version of Sasuke look so...familiar?

The young Sasuke didn't really seem to be bothered much as she went over to the kitchen table where her mother set the young Uchiha's breakfast.

As she sat down, she looked over at her mother and asked "Kaa-san, where's Itachi nii-san?"

Mikoto simply smiled as she said "Well he went off on a mission early this morning, so he'll probably be back later."

Sasuke simply pouted, which all the members of Team 7 and the Kyuubi found adorable.

"He said he was gonna teach me some more shuriken things today! Stupid missions preventing him from being with me, his little si-"

At this point though, the man on the couch said "Brother."

Sasuke looked at him and replied "Bu-"

But the man cut him off again as he spoke "I said brother. Understood?"

Mikoto simply sighed as she said "Fugaku, you don't have to treat her like that, she's your daughter."

Fugaku glared at her, and replied "No, he is not. I have two sons. I will not have a weak hearted daughter in my family. Women are weak. Thus Sasuke is my son...not as good as his older brother is, but still my son."

At this point the group glared at the man. And the Kyuubi said "And there it is."

Haku commented "Ugh, sexist bastard."

Sakura added on "He forced his daughter to act as a guy because he thought we're weak? I'm so happy I never met him."

Naruto even responded with "If he thinks girls are weak, he's an idiot. I know well enough how scary an angry woman is. Plus Kyuubi, who literally wrecked the village, is female, it's literally the middle finger to all sexism "

Kyuubi replied to him "Well, at least you know better."

Mikoto sighed as she knew this conversation wasn't going anywhere, and Sasuke had her head down in shame, a shame forced on her by her father.

"Sometimes I wish I wasn't born a girl. Maybe then Tou-san wouldn't force me to act like one and always be so mean to me…"

After Fugaku left for work, Mikoto simply gave her daughter a hug and told her "It's okay. I know your father is a bit of a jerk, but I'm sure he'll come around eventually when you become a strong and beautiful kunoichi."

"At least kaa-san believes in me!"

Sasuke nodded and with a smile said "Thank you Kaa-san!"

The woman then handed the girl her backpack and lunch for the day before Sasuke then left the house. Though not without one more thought.

"Sigh, another day at school acting like a boy. At least I've made a friend or two."

"At least the mother is nice." Haku commented with a bit of a smile.

Naruto said "Still annoyed at that prick she calls dad though. If I knew about this, I would have pranked him to kingdom come."

Haku, and funny enough Sakura too, replied "And I would have helped."

Naruto ended up doing a double take, and said "Wait Sakura, seriously?"

Sakura deadpanned as she said "Naruto, you do realize it's basically his fault Sasuke pretended to be a guy and I ended up as a Fangirl to Sasuke, right? So indirectly, it's his fault...and I want revenge...but that isn't going to happen."

The Kyuubi made a sagely nod as she added "Ah yes, among the many other fangirls Sasuke had when acting like a boy."

The Kyuubi then walked towards the front door as she spoke "Alright let's continue, we aren't too far now."

The group then followed the fox woman through the next door.

The next place they stepped into was in fact, the hallway of the same house, but now it was night instead of day, and they could see the young Sasuke peeping a little through the panel door, which the rest of them did as well.

Inside Fugaku and a black haired youth that had two lines on his face were having a discussion.

Sakura noted to the others "That must be Itachi. Sasuke's older brother."

"Itachi, why did you miss the clan meeting yesterday?" Fugaku said in a stern voice.

The boy simply looked at his father as he replied with an equally stern voice, "I had a mission in Anbu yesterday. Thus I could not attend."

Fugaku sighed "Very well. Remember though, you are the lifeline between us and the village. Shisui too, but you play a far greater role. You must do what is necessary for the clan."

Itachi nodded before a small smirk appeared on his face before he said "Sasuke, go to bed. It's late."

Sasuke blushed out of embarrassment and snuck back to her room. Itachi seemed to have a genuine smile on his lips, while his father looked a bit annoyed about how his second child overheard them.

The group thought it was a bit of a nice moment, but they couldn't help but ponder on what they were speaking of. However, the Kyuubi motioned for them to move onwards, and entered the door to Sasuke's room.

Next they found themselves in a forest clearing, where Sasuke was sitting on a tree trunk. A bit away was Itachi who was standing still, much like a spring ready to be sprung.

What happened next was an amazing display of skill in shurikenjutsu and acrobatics as Itachi jumped up into the air and sent shuriken flying, some even hitting each other, in order to hit the targets set up all over the clearing, including one behind a rock.

"Damn he's awesome! I wanna do that!" Naruto beamed the man as his eyes were replaced with stars.

Sakura noted "Huh, is it just me, or does good looks seem to run from their mom's side of the family?"

"Likely." Haku added to that.

Sasuke was also excited about how her brother did that as she went over to him.

"That was great Nii-San! You even hit the target behind the rock!"

Itachi smiled as he said "Well, I'm glad my little display pleased you Sasuke-chan."

"Hey, I thought dad didn't like it when you call me that?"

Itachi had an amused expression on his face as he replied "And he isn't here now, and we're not in public, are we?"

Sasuke gave him a bright smile and asked "So when are you going to teach me that? Can we do it right now!?"

Itachi walked a bit closer to her, went down to eye level, and then poked her on the forehead with his finger. He told her "Sorry, maybe next time little sister."

Sasuke pouted before she drew out her own shuriken as she said "Well watch this!"

What happened next was a pitiful display, resulting in Sasuke spraining her ankle, to which Itachi sighed and after a bit of first aid, picked her up on his back and headed home.

Of course, throughout all this, Naruto, the Kyuubi, and haku were laughing their asses off, while Sakura simply facepalmed. However as the siblings left, the Kyuubi told them "Alright alright, let's follow them."

The team then followed them back towards their house, and just as they were about to reach it, they were confronted by three ninja from the Uchiha Clan. Just the looks on their faces made the genin feel a little uneasy.

"Itachi, we need to speak with you about Shisui Uchiha."


Naruto: Wow your dad's a bit of a prick.

Sasuke: True. Even in the series canon he's a bit of an ass.

Kakashi: Agreed, considering Sensei worked with him directly.

Minato: Oh come on, he's not that bad.

Sakura points to a pile of evidence Sasuke put on the table.

Minato: ...okay you've got a point.

Kyuubi: Blond bastard, why do you think Mikoto was slightly disappointed when you married Kushina?

Minato: Oh right, what you mentioned before -.-

Itachi: From what I remember Minato-san, he wasn't as bad until the Kyuubi incident if that makes you feel better.

WVH: Well, I'm just gonna say we wrap this little comments up here. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter everyone! Be sure to R&R as well as come back for the next chapter that will finish this little mini arc for Sasuke! Also for those of you wondering, the name I picked out for female Sasuke will be in there too!

(And before anyone mentions it, I'm not using the name Satsuki. That's already been used before by another writer.)
