When Naruto woke up early the next morning it was to find Sakura sleeping with her head slumped forward on one of two chairs that Yamato had created. On the other one were the clothes that Sakura had picked out for her teammate. Naruto stirred and sat up, swinging her legs off the side of the bed, in the process bumping Sakura and waking her up. Sakura jumped in her seat, startled awake by Naruto's kicking her. She looked up and saw a red headed beauty staring back at her, she also saw that the luscious red hair of her friend had now, once again, doubled in length as it now reached down to just passed her shapely ass. "Hey Naruto, how do you feel?" Sakura asked, with an apologetic smile on her face.

"Fine, except for the fact that I had a..." Naruto gasped at hearing a voice saying the words that were passing his mouth a few octaves higher than he was used to. "What the...?"

"Naruto, before I say anything else, I just want to tell you to remain calm, alright?"

"Remain calm? What are you...?"

"Do you remember what happened when we met Sasuke?"

"Yeah, the teme ran me through with his damned ninjato."

"Yes. Well, it seems that when Sasuke stabbed you with his lightning re-enforced blade the vibratory rate of your chakra got increased as a side effect."

"And?" Naruto asked, not getting at what Sakura was trying as hard as she could to avoid saying directly.

"Well, you know that inside your body your chakra vibrates at different rates for different people?"

Naruto thought back to his training trip with Jiraiya and said "yeah, I think that I remember
ero-sennin saying something about that on our training trip."

"Good, well, what Jiraiya probably didn't tell you was that the rate of vibrations is further increased if the person is female."

"And? What has that got to do with me?"

Sakura sighed and said "when Sasuke ran you through he increased the vibratory rate of your chakra. Now, normally a person would either die or lose the ability to control their chakra completely from such an event, due to the Kyuubi being sealed inside you though, that seems to not be the case."

"What're you..."

Sakura sighed and said "Naruto, to deal with the change in your chakra your body decided that, rather than attempt to slow the vibrations of your chakra down to what they were previously, that it would be either better, or at least easier to adapt your body to deal with the change." "What!" Naruto exclaimed, understanding what Sakura was saying. Sakura, however, thought that Naruto still didn't understand and said "Naruto, I'm sorry, but until Tsunade-sama can run some proper tests in Konoha, and, unless they find a way to change back, you will be a Kunoichi."

"A..."

"Come on, it's not that bad, really."

"Can you leave Sakura?" Naruto asked, wanting to be alone for now.

"Yeah, sure thing" Sakura replied. "I got some clothes that should fit you for when you decide to come out...oh, and when you're done getting changed, Yamato-Taichō wants to see you in the armoury."

"alright, and thanks, I guess." About half an hour later Naruto thought to herself 'well, there's no use moping about here, I might as well see what Sakura managed to get for me.' Naruto got up, moved to the chair, picked up the clothes, and then moved back to lay them out on the bed. Naruto, when she had completely laid all of the clothes out on the bed she looked at them and thought to herself 'thank god, no more orange!' on the bed were some tight fitting, green leather pants that had some kind of weird seals etched into them and showed the outside of the wearers thighs, a matching green top that bared her midriff with white sleeves that reached just before her wrist, also, next to the shirt there was a cord of brown leather that Naruto had no clue as to what it was for. There were brown leather boots that reached just under Naruto's knees. There was also a green, hooded, cloak that had sleeves that reached halfway down Naruto's bicep there was also two brown belts that each had different loops to go through on the pants, one of them had an attachment on it that was clearly designed for a sword to be attached to it and the other one had two loops on the back of which Naruto had no idea as to their purpose. Sakura had also thoughtfully found another brown leather cord that Naruto could use to tie her long hair with. Naruto donned the clothes that her friend had acquired for her and found that they fit perfectly. She also found, to her surprise, that the pants that she was wearing in no way restricted her movement, in fact, she found that they were easier to move around in than what the ones that she had as a man were. She also found that the cloak kept her amazingly warm, even in the cold of the room that she was in. After she tied her hair into a ponytail with the leather cord she left to search for Yamato-Taichō. After searching through halls for about twenty minutes she finally found Yamato-Taichō, Sai and Sakura gathered in the armoury, still cataloguing various weapons and clothing that the Snake Sannin had acquired over the years. Naruto announced "hey, how is everyone?"

Sakura, Sai and Yamato turned around and, almost immediately, Yamato's nose streamed blood and he flew backwards at the sight of the beauty that Naruto had become. When he had recovered he said "right, well then...uh hmm...oh yes, Naruto, for the time being I don't want you involved in any combat, alright?"

"Yeah, sure thing, I was going to suggest that myself."

"Eh? You were?"

"Yeah, I mean, hell, I was tripping all over the place on my way here, I don't even want to consider how that would affect me in combat."

"Well, that's good" Yamato said while he was thinking 'she's a hell of a lot smarter, not to mention, tactically more brilliant, than anyone has ever given her credit for.' Yamato then went on to say, "so, with that said, there is something here that I think should belong to you. Although I have absolutely no idea as to how they came to be in Orochimaru's possession to begin with."

"What?" Naruto asked, not knowing what Orochimaru could possess that would have anything remotely to do with her.

"Over here are some rather unique weapons, actually, they are so unique that only very few people can use."

"Then why..."

"Because, Naruto, your family created them."

"My famil..."

"Or rather, the Uzumaki's of Uzushiogakure."

"Alright, so what does it have to do with me?"

"You personally, nothing really. It's just that the way these things are made, only Uzumaki can use them."

"Alright then, where are they?"

"Over there" Yamato said, pointing at the shelf that the two daggers were on.

Naruto moved over to them and picked them up in their sheathes. She then put them back down and withdrew one of them. It had a golden blade with a red cross-guard that, where the blade met the hilt, there was a red circle that had an epigraph of two golden birds fighting. At the tip of the cross-guard there were smaller blades that extended in the same direction as the blade itself. The handle of the hilt itself was black with the pommel red. When the blade had been completely drawn Naruto felt her chakra get drained and forced into the blade, which, somehow, was surrounded by fire, causing Naruto to drop it. When the blade had left her hand . Naruto turned it around in her right hand and then, after inspecting it, returned it to its sheathe and then withdrew the second one. This one was almost identical to the previous one, except that it was completely golden and, instead of having an epigraph of two birds, there was an eye with the edges open and a line extending from the edges of each opening, Naruto felt her chakra being forced into the blade again, this time, instead of the blade being surrounded by fire, this time it was lightning. Naruto, this time, was expecting something to happen and kept hold of the blade. Naruto turned it around in her left hand, having an instinctual feeling that the first blade should be used in the right hand and the second in the left. She returned the second dagger to its sheathe and saw that, on the sheathes, there were attachments that matched those of the second belt that she was wearing. She attached them to the back of her belt and, somehow, felt like there was something mission. Naruto went to the tantō's lining the wall next to where she found the blades and, seeing one that she liked, picked it up and attached it to her hip using the attachment on her belt. She still felt that there was something missing in her attire. She looked right and saw a rack of bows lining the wall towards the end of the room and went to them. She searched through them, automatically discarding most of them until she found what she was looking for. It was a green re-curve bow that looked eerily similar to a snake, right down to the head at the top end of the bow. Naruto picked it up and attached it to a hook on the back of her new cloak, along with a quiver that she attached to a hook on the opposite side of the belt that was now carrying her tantō. With the bow on her back and the quiver at her hip Naruto felt that, for the first time in her life, she was complete.

Naruto called out "I'm ready now" causing all three of her teammates to look up at her and saw that she was carrying a bow on her back. Sakura, not having the slightest clue as to why her teammate was carrying a bow on her back, immediately assumed that she had picked it up because she liked the look of it. Sakura started to charge at Naruto to beat the shit out of her for doing something stupid like trying to use a weapon that she has no experience with. Before she could get too far though, Naruto quickly withdrew her bow from her back, at the same time taking an arrow from her quiver at her hip, drew back and let fly. It shot right past Sakura's ear, giving her a haircut and causing her to trip over in shock. Naruto was surprised as well as, even though she had used her trick that managed to harden the arrow, the arrow, after being shot from the bow, took on a green aura as it flew. "Next time Sakura, I won't miss."

"What was...?" Sakura asked quietly from her position, sprawled on the ground. "How did you...?"

"Sakura, I'm sick of your attitude. You won't be hitting me again."

"What?"

"When did you learn to use a bow like that Naruto?" Yamato asked, having seen the interaction between the two long-time teammates from where he was near some Zanbatō.

"On the training trip with Jiraiya."

"Hmm, I thought that Jiraiya-sama didn't know how to use a bow?"

"He doesn't."

"Then how?"

"Well, apparently, one of the training methods that Jiraiya likes to use, is telling me to give him my kunai, shuriken and bag, and then, give me three kunai back and tell me 'to survive' for three months in the river country."

"How did you...? I mean there are...!"

"Yeah, the river country makes the animals in the Forest of Death look like newly born kittens."

"So how?"

"Simple really, a few days in I had tried to kill one of them to have some meat for dinner, but all that ended up happening, was the kunai being bent completely out of shape and it charging at me for trying to attack it. After that I tried making a trap for it. That failed spectacularly. Then I tried making some spears, but that didn't work either. After a while I succumbed to hunger and fainted. When I woke up I was in a house of some sort. When I got up the lady that was taking care of me told me that her son found me lying on the ground, unconscious, and it looked like I had been there for a while. After that I found that they had been having problems with another animal, this one I could actually take care of. When I did, they trained me in the use of one of the re-curve bows that they make and making the arrows that go with them."

"Then why haven't I seen you with it?" Sakura asked, shocked, both at the fact that Naruto could use a ranged weapon with an insane amount of accuracy and that Jiraiya left Naruto in the middle of a forest for months on end.

"Simple, I was training with it every night after Ero-Sennin went to sleep, eventually it got worn out and broke and I've never had the chance to get a replacement."

'Dear Kami it looks like it is me that will need to watch what I do around Naruto now!' Sakura thought in panic at the way that Naruto was acting.

"Okay, so, are we ready to go now?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, I think so" Yamato said "Sakura, Sai, is there anything else that you wish to do here?"

"No, I've got everything that I need" Sakura said, getting up, off the floor.

"I have everything that I will be needing" Sai called out from where he was.

"Alright then, there should be a team arriving from Konoha soon so we can probably leave now" Yamato said as he moved to a clear space on the wall and placed his hands on the wall. After he did so a staircase formed leading up to the surface. Team Kakashi left the underground base via the staircase that Yamato had just created and, before they left, Yamato stamped on the ground after doing a handseal, causing a cover to extend out, over the opening. They then walked, in consideration to Naruto's reduced control over her chakra, in the direction of Konoha.
