After Tsunade had Sauske taken away, and had regained her ability to speak she then called Jiriaya to her office and with him, Kakashi, and Sakura, started to question Naru on how she had manged to find and bring Sauske back in just seven minutes. She wanted to know how she had managed to leave the village and get back in such a short amount of time.
Naru sat in the chair that she had been directed too and was watching Tsunade pace back and forth in front of her like a tiger. "Alright Naru, what kind of jutsu did you use to pull this fiasco off? A teleportation? A space-time? You do know that many of these jutsu's are forbidden because they can rip a person's body apart right?"
Naru glanced at Jiriaya who sat behind Tsunade's desk, on the window sill. His arms were crossed and he had a peculiar look on his face that she recalled after she woke up. That look that questioned if she was still human enough to be herself.
That questioning look that more or less showed her his worries and fears.
She hated that look with a passion. Really she did. "No jutsu. No time-space. Sauske is a manifistation of the person I remember. The changes his body are going through now will make him similar enough to the Sauske you want returned; to take his place in this time stream."
Tsunade looked at her funny then lashed out with her foot and kicked one of Naru's chair legs and sent the blond scooting across the floor in the seat. Once it came to a stop Naru made a huffing sound and muttered under her breath, "Crazy old bat should pay attention. One day will end us all..."
"What the hell did you just say brat!" Tsunade shouted, causing Naru to squeak and slap her hands over her ears to block out the loudness of Tsunade's voice and waited until it died down before lowering her hands and getting up out of her chair and tried to shout back. But her voice wouldn't co-operate so her voice came out as nothing more than a dark raspy whisper.
"I said, crazy old bat should pay attention! I know that you probably won't get this- But I've just saved you from burying over a third of the village population both shinobi and citizen alike!" The whole lot of them recoiled from her in horror and dismay, unable to fully understand what she was saying or how she even knew that something so catastrophic would take place.
Sakura opened her mouth to ask Naru those questions when the woman cut her off with a sharp almost menacing look as she contined. "The Sauske you want back is an impossible, and spoiled person who would start a new shinobi war. The person I brought to you is still worth saving! The other one isn't. So before Sauske-chan wakes, seal his sharigan and his chakra away. Weaken him without killing him and let him spend the rest of his life helpless. It's a fitting punishment for one so vain."
"You know for sure that Sauske would do those things?" Tsunade finally asked in a shakey voice, her mind reeling. Naru nodded her head and stared at her as if she'd like to shake her.
"I would not lie about something like that. Lying would be stupid and ill minded. It would cost others greatly and I'll just not do it. Even if it means hurting some of you. Lying to you at this point to spare your feelings would only get someone killed." Naru said quietly as she glanced from one face to another expecting some negitive emotions, perhaps denial or anger, yet all she found was acceptance through partially concealed hurt.
Well this is unexpected. Naru thought warily. Now that she had made them understand a small degree of what she knew, she wasn't sure what to do. "So tha t Sauske that I was going to send you after is no good. And the Sauske that you brought here was a manifistation of-"
"My memories. I caught him at the point where he was still innocent enough to be saved and brought him back here. "
"But doesn't that make him a fake? Like a shadow clone?" Jiriaya asked curiously. Naru shook her head no.
"No. He's the same person we all remember, he's just missing some skills that he would have gotten out of Oro-teme's training."
"But he's changing. I remember hearing you say that he was changing." Naru nodded.
"He is. The Sauske I brought here was fifteen in my memory. To become the Sauske that we lost, he has to grow and his mind must expand to fit the knowledge being crammed into it. Once he wakes up he'll be similar to the Sauske that has been with Orochimaru. He'll have the knowledge and skills. But he will still be innocent like he was when he was fifteen. That's why I said to seal his sharigan and chakra away. If you do, he'll have all that knowledge and skill yet no way to use it. His threat to us and the village with be minimal if it even exists at all."
"And the Sauske that has been with Orochimaru? What will happen to him?"
Naru giggled like a crazy person. "He'll disappear into our Sauske."
"And what of Orochimaru? Will he come here looking for our Sauske once his disappears?" Sakura finally asked once she finally found her voice. Naru tilted her head to the side a little bit and made a humming sound before saying cheerfully.
"Probably, but you let me worry about that. I'll make sure that he doesn't step foot in the village. Okay."
