A fiasco, and a meeting.

The rest of the mission did not really go well... Turned out that Kabuto had been spying on Sasori for Orochimaru and not the other way around, and the snake sannin had shown up to try to kill Sasori with Kabuto, though luckily, Yamato was able to ditch the fake puppet and escape the attempt.

Things only went further downhill from there: Naruto had lost his temper and tried to kill Orochimaru, drawing on four tails of power from the fox, and going on a mindless rampage where he accidentally harmed Sakura. To top it off, Sai had run off to join Orochimaru. It was like Sasuke all over again...

Yamato had supressed the fox, and though Sakura tried to lie about her injuries, Yamato had taken Naruto aside to inform him that he was the one responsible. Sakura had found a book of Sai's and opened it to show pictures of him and his brother, the centermost pages blank, as Sai had told her he couldn't remember what he had wanted to draw.

They managed to follow Orochimaru, Kabuto and Sai to their hideout, and recovered Sai, who confirmed Yamato's suspicions that Danzo was planning to destroy and then rebuild Konoha with himself as Hokage. However, Sai redeemed himself a little when Kabuto attacked, and Sai helped capture him, stating he wanted to remember his feelings towards his brother.

They went looking through the base for Sasuke, and Sai finished his book, having a genuine smile, and Naruto was thinking Sai was making progress... Then Orochimaru attacked, and they split up so Naruto could fight the snake, and Sai looked for Sasuke.

Orochimaru left when Yamato and Sakura showed up, and Yamato found Sai's black book, revealing he was actually tasked with killing Sasuke, and the plan Sai had confirmed was actually a cover lie. Luckily, when they caught up with Sai, who had found Sasuke, he stated he had no intention of carrying out the mission.

Then they fought Sasuke, who proved to be immensely more powerful than before, even suppressing the fox when he tried to **** his power on Naruto, though the fox had mentioned Madara Uchiha before then. Sasuke then left with Orochimaru and Kabuto... And Team 7 was unable to stop them.

...

They had stopped at an inn on the way back, and Naruto was lost in thought, holding the Sex Note. Now that he knew how Sasuke's face had changed, he realized he could use the Note to bring him back... just as long as he made sure something sexual was involved. He took the pen and wrote, "Sasuke Uchiha will decide to return to Konoha, killing Orochimaru on his way out. Upon arriving, he will reconnect with Team 7, and eventually start a sexual relationship with Sakura Haruno. Where it goes from there or if it lasts will be up to them." He was about to close the Note, but his eyes widened as the words suddenly glowed red, and vanished. "...wait, what?"

"Yeah... That wouldn't work, it goes against an unwritten rule of the Sex Note, and that is that they are not **** Notes."

Naruto jumped, and whipped around, seeing a butt ass naked chick floating in his room with light purple hair and a cute, but mischievous look on her face, and he yelped as he fell back.
