Naruto was looking around the place that Sakura called her own. He noticed various things here and there as he sat down in one of the chairs that he had taken for himself after being invited inside.

"First how are you not really considered human" she asked him

"Recall the attack on Konoha back in the year where we were born," he said

"For some reason, the nine tailed fox attacked the village and was sealed away," she said

"Actually I was trying to defend the village as it was being attacked by a crimson lord I did not know" the voice coming from the necklace around Naruto's neck said

Which Sakura look at the necklace confused

"I am what is considered a Flame Haze and I am contracted to Kurama the nine tailed fox who is also a crimson lord by the way," he said

"Before asking anything else there are both good and bad crimson lords just like there are good and bad humans," Kurama said

Naruto then went on to explain how he is a unique Flame Haze because despite being on since he was a baby. He was still growing like a normal human at least at the moment as eventually he should react at an age where he just stopped aging at all. He is technically immortal after all in the sense that time by itself can no longer kill him. Death is still something he can go through but old age is not one of those methods though.

"I am immortal then," Sakura asked

"Good question as you are still aging for now despite being a torch but at the moment seems like something the embers of original Sakura Haruno around," Naruto said.

"What do you mean original Sakura Haruno as I am..." Sakura said before Naruto drained the power of existence from her until she stood there with vacant eyes.

There she then mechanically got and started doing various things before snapping out of and running to where Naruto was sitting playing with something he seemingly summoned from nowhere

"What did you do to me" Sakura demanded

"So you were aware something was done to you interesting," he said

"You are merely the embers of Sakura Haruno. A place holder that was supposed to soften a crimson denizen attack that happened around six years ago. How a torch like you has managed to last six years is unknown but you seemingly have some sort of connection to us" Kurama said

"Somehow before you could go out completely like all torches are supposed as they are not meant to last that long. Just soften the blow of someone who no longer exists in the world itself. You live here seemingly alone because Sakura Haruno was not just some orphan but had both her parents. It's just you were a family of torches and the last one still burning is you" Naruto told her.

"So I am not who I think I am. Am I only roughly six years old" Sakura asked.

"Are you the original Sakura Haruno? No, as she died six years ago when most of her power of existence was absorbed that day. You are the last remaining fragments that have all her memories and those of the last six years which only belong to Sakura Haruno the torch rather than the fully human one" Kurama said.

"At least people know who the original Sakura was. I was a baby when became a Flame Haze thus no one even knows who my parents were as they vanished like yours" Naruto said "Would have been nice living as the son of the Fourth Hokage"

"The mysterious Hokage that everyone knows must exist but there are no records of their ever being such a person," Sakura asked

"The very one as that what Kurama tells me at least," Naruto said "Get this all the Kages are actually Flame Haze as well. Also, there are many clans here that while not clans of Flame Hazes support them like the Hyugas. That one clan that is devoted to helping us defend the balance of the world"

"Should you really be telling her all that?" Kurama asked

"Do not need to keep her in the dark anymore after everything she has seen and been through. Was annoying have to stay in the academy with her this entire time though" he said

Sakura learned that Naruto was just acting at the academy to stay close to her since that connection she had to him is the reason she has become a six year old torch that while can get extremely dim never goes out. Naruto and Kurama being around is why she has remained the way she is now this entire time. That he was sticking with her because he was curious about her condition.
