Once Naruto was finished with his story, Tsunade just looked at him like he had three heads. She walked around from her desk and approached the boy.

"Naruto, let me see the bottle the potion was in." the busty Hokage said, reaching her hand out to him. Naruto reached into his weapon pouch and took out the purple bottle and then handed it to Tsunade. She examined the bottle for a little bit, before turning it around and reading the back. Suddenly, her eyes went wide and then she looked at Naruto, anger flaring up again.

"You dolt, did you even read the instructions on the back!?" She yelled, throwing the bottle back to Naruto. He caught it, with ease, and turned it over and began reading it.

"Age Reversal Potion; can turn anyone, that it's used on, into an 8 year old." He read out loud, then his eyes widened when he continued reading, "Simply splash yourself or someone else to turn them into an 8 year old. Do not ingest or effects will be memory loss and PERMANENT CHILD FORM!?" Naruto looked back up at Tsunade and silently gulped, hoping she wouldn't beat him to a pulp, but she just rubbed her temples in frustration.

"Yes and now I must find the guy that sold you the potion and ask him if there is a cure." Tsunade answered then looked at Naruto again, "I'm giving you the assignment of watching Sakura until I come up with something." At this, Naruto instantly brightened up and smiled.

"Don't worry Baa-chan, I won't let you down!" He responded, giving the thumbs up, "I won't let her out of my sight!" Tsunade gave a smirk, feeling like she could trust Naruto. However, that feeling went away, when she looked to where the little girl sat and her eyes bulged out to the size of dinner plates.

"Uh, Naruto." Tsunade uttered, pointing to the spot next to him. Naruto curiously, looked to where she was pointing and instantly panicked.

"Ahhhh, where did she go!?!" he yelled, looking at the discarded ropes and handkerchief. It was then, that the two heard a giggle coming from behind Naruto. They both looked to see Sakura standing there with an innocent look on her chibi-like face.

"You know," she started, "for a ninja, your rope tying isn't very good." She turned and headed for the door, but Naruto ran towards her, ready to pick her up, preventing her from leaving. Sensing that he was behind her, Sakura jumped up in the air, over Naruto and landed behind him, as the whiskered boy ran straight into the door. Tsunade watched, as Sakura ran past her, to the window, opened it, and hopped onto the windowsill. Naruto quickly recovered from the facedoor, only to see Sakura turn around and give him the peace sign, and he went just as bug-eyed as Tsunade.

"Sakura-chan, do not ju-!"before he could finish talking, Sakura leaped out of the window. Naruto quickly jumped up and ran to the window, ready to leap out after the girl, but stopped when he saw her land in a tree that was by the window. She landed on a branch and then jumped to the ground, landing safely. Naruto watched, as she looked a little shocked and then looked back up at him, waved and then ran off down the road of the village, disappearing in the crowd of people. After that, Naruto turned around from the window, facing Tsunade and scratched the back of his head and sweatdropping.

"Opps, I guess I let her out of my sight." he chuckled nervously, while silently getting ready to be beaten black and blue. Tsunade just pinched the bridge of her nose, trying to get rid of the oncoming headache, and then finally looked at the boy in front of her.

"Ok, obviously she still remembers some of her ninja skills." She said, trying to hold in her anger, "How much she remembers, I don't know. Anyway, I'm gonna get to work on finding the cure. Naruto, in the meantime, I'm giving you 10 seconds to GET OUT OF MY OFFICE AND FIND SAKURA BEFORE I PUT YOU IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A YEAR!" Naruto didn't waste any time, running out of the office. Tsunade finally calmed down, but she now had a headache.

'I need sake,' she thought, heading to her desk and sitting back down, 'I hope that Naruto can take care of her.' Tsunade sat there for a minute before realizing what she did and slammed her head on the desk, causing it to split, and papers to fly.

"Oh no, what have I done!?" she said/yelled, "I left Naruto in charge of an 8 year old Sakura!"

-Meanwhile somewhere in the village-

'This place sure is strange, I wish I knew where I was going,' Sakura thought, wandering around in what looked like a market. She wanted to ask someone where her house was, but everyone looked big and scary to her. She was so distracted by her thoughts, that Sakura wasn't watching where she was going and walked into someone.

"Oof!" she muttered, falling on her butt. As she rubbed her sore bum, she looked up at the man, "Gomennasai sir, I wasn't watching where I was going." The man wore a Chunin jacket over a black T-shirt and dark blue pants, with his forehead protector on. His raven hair was sticking up in the back while he had bangs outlining his stoic looking face. When he looked down, after feeling something run into him, his onyx eyes widened in surprise.

'What the hell?' Sasuke thought, watching the little girl, with the same pink hair and green eyes as his teammate, stand up and dust herself off. Shaking the shock away, he kneeled in front of her, with a little worried expression on his face.

"Hey, you ok?" he asked, making sure she didn't have any cuts or bruises. The little girl just blushed a little and backed away slightly. Sasuke noticed this and gave her a gentle smile, while saying, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Feeling like she could trust him, Sakura gave him a small smile and nodded her head. He seemed familiar to Sakura, but she couldn't quite place it.

"Hi, ummm, you wouldn't happen to know, where I live?" She asked, shyly. Sasuke was wondering if this was Sakura and decided to find out.

"Hey, what's your name?" He asked. Sakura looked at him confused, as she tried to think.

"I'm not sure, I don't remember anything." she answered, causing Sasuke to frown, in disappointment.

'So much for getting her name.' he thought, sighing, then asked, "Well, is there anything that you do know?" Sakura thought for a moment, before replying.

"I remember waking up in a field," she replied, quietly, "there was a blonde haired boy, with whiskers on his face. He looked a little goofy to me." Sasuke chuckled, as she described Naruto, but continued listening.

"He said something about 'doing something wrong' and a 'Baa-chan'. He asked me to come with him to see her, but I got scared and ran. Then he ran after me calling me some name."

"What was the name?"

"Sakura, I think." Sasuke stared at her surprised for a moment, before closing his eyes.

'I should have known, that baka had something to do with this,' he thought, standing up and looking around, before looking back at the little girl, who was shuffling her feet.

"How about I take you to someone I know that can help, alright?" Sasuke asked, holding his hand out, for Sakura to take it. Sakura looked at Sasuke's hand, and then looked at him. He smiled, causing her to blush again and she nodded, while taking his hand, and then he led the way to the Hokage tower, thinking, 'I'm gonna kill that Dobe, when I see him.'
