As the sun began to rise and light began to shine over Konoha covering it in its brilliant natural light. It creped into the Hokage Office within the Hokage Tower something happened to the petrified form of one Sakura Haruno was being kept. As the morning light touch her stony form it reverted back to normal flesh and blood.
'Huh, How did I get here?' Sakura thought as she looked around to see that she was in the Hokage Office instead of in front of Naruto's door not only that but it seem to be the sun rise which was strange as the last time she checked that it was sunset.
She looked around to see that Naruto sitting in the Hokage's chair with a white hair man nearby sleeping while seemingly standing up.
Sakura's mind have no idea what truly happened as one moment she was at Naruto's and now she was here . Thought that something must have happened and Naruto would mostly likely know what was going on.
"Hey Baka, wake up and get out that chair it suppose to be for the Hokage only" Sakura yelled as she shook the blond unaware that the man across from her was awake the whole time as she had 'awaken' herself.
"Five more minut,e Sakura-chan. Then I get back to help you, Sakura-chan" Naruto said sleepily as his mind did not immediately process just what he was saying thanks to him being half asleep.
"Baka, wake up and tell me what is going on" Sakura yelled throwing him out the chair.
Naruto now fully awake was looking at Sakura in shock as he went to touch her cheek however after doing so he was quickly slapped across the face.
"Owwww….Sakura-chan that hurts…" Naruto told her
"Do not touch me like that, Naruto" the pink hair girl said anger but worried at the same time as he touch her cheek almost as if he thought she was not real or something.
Sakura was shocked at what Naruto did next as pulled her into a bear hug kept tell her about how glad he was that she was already. Unsure of what to do at the moment as she may have thought Naruto was annoying but she did not think of herself as being one of those people that just seem to hate Naruto for some strange reason only adults and young adults were aware of.
"Yeah I am okay Naruto but what going on why going on and why am I here as I was in front of your door only a second ago" Sakura asked deciding to let go of her anger for now to learn what was going on.
"Actually that was over ten hours ago" Sakura heard the man in the corner say.
Though taking a better look at him she realize where she recognized this man from as they were from the academy textbook.
"You are Jiraiya of the Three Sanin, right" Sakura asked as she stood in front of them amazed she was meeting someone so famous.
"He really not all he cracked up to be" Naruto said shrugging after he already had the image of Jiraiya shattered by the reality of actually meeting him in one of the worse possible manners.
"Hey I told you I was doing 'research' you hear me it was 'research' " the Sanin yelled
Sakura then walked over to Naruto glaring at him as she did before slugging him.
"What was that for Sakura-chan" Naruto asked.
"Do not you know not to interrupt people while their in the middle of doing their research" the pink hair girl said before turning to the Sanin saying "I am sorry Naruto does not have anyone to tell him what he can and can not do living alone and all."
Sakura not knowing the full story sided with Jiraiya on this matter solely because who he was thinking just like Naruto had the night before that since he was a Sanin his 'research' was something important not simply peeping on women.
"No problem" Jiraiya said as he somewhat worried about this girl find out what his 'research' really was as from just seeing how Naruto and her interacted with each other. It reminded him of how Tusnade and him were back when they were genins.
Naruto seem to pick up on this judging from the grin on his face causing the older man to motion with his hand no as best he could without attracted too much attention.
"Is there something wrong with your hands" Sakura asked curiously the Sanin as she was blissfully unaware of Naruto plotting to tell her the about the how the Jiraiya the man was not like exactly like Jiraiya the legend.
"So now I think we should get back home" he said as began pushing a confused Sakura towards the door. Not wanting to give Naruto another chance to ruin Sakura's image of him.
"Hey kid go tell Sarutobi about what happen" he then continued to says to Naruto before quickly leave and possibly avoid the wrath of angry female.

Later that day….
The Third Hokage had arrived at the place where they did things that they did not want the public at large to know about and Sakura's strange condition was surely something that he did not want getting out until they knew exactly what they were dealing with since this was Orochimaru doing.
"Hokage-sama" Hiashi Hyuga and Inoichi Yamanaka said while Jiraiya just waved at him.
"So what are the result from Sakura's test" Hiruzen asked as looked into the room where Sakura was currently sitting on chair in nothing but hospital gown with dazed expression on her face as it was clear she was under a genjustu to prevent from realize what was going on as they did not want to tell her anything until they had no information.
"It seem that Haruno girl is not as normal was she appears. Though her grades, abilities, and family seem normal at first glance. We managed to learn she has quite a few unique traits that are not normally found in first generation ninjas like her (by this meaning she the first in her family to become one)" Inoichi said.
"First off her resistance to genjustu is incredibly high as it seem that only way to affect her with one is if she distracted or if its powerful enough to overcome her resilience to them. The genjustu we currently have her under is between a high C to low B rank one" he said
"Her chakra control for someone her age rivals that of normal Hyuga that the same age as her other then that I found nothing strange about her as it literally like night and day from my previous examination of her. Rather then seeing her as nothing but a statue, this time I saw her as completely normal girl with the exception of her chakra control" Hiashi told him.
"Then when I tried to check her mind for possible clues to what happened however before I got far I was kicked out" Inoichi told the Hokage.
"Kicked out. How did you get kick out did you get kicked out of girl's mind that just became a genin little over a year ago" Sarutobi asked confused.
"It another thing that we discovered as within Sakura's mind their seem to be second mind or possibly spirit that did not take to kindly to my being their looking through her mind" Ino's father said.
"As for a possible seal being located on her body I did not find a single on anywhere on her" Jiraiya said telling the Hokage his own findings.
"Great so after all this time and work we are no closer to find out what exactly Orochimaru has done to Sakura while Naruto and Kakashi are getting really worried about what happened to their teammate" the Third said.
"Is not that Uchiha boy also their teammate" Jiraiya asked noticing how he was not mention as being worried about Sakura's condition.
"Kakashi informed that him and Sasuke did not care or at the very least is seem not to care on the surface as surely Sasuke is worried about her" the Hokage said.
"Hokage-sama" Hiashi yelled getting his attention as the four them turned in time to see Sakura revert back to being a nothing more then incredibly well detailed statue of herself.
"Interesting it seem that whatever my former student did to her is activated by the setting and raising of the sun as she was normal while the sun was up but now that it down she reverted back to this inanimate state" Sarutobi said looking at the time to see that the sun had indeed gone down from looking at the time on nearby clock.
