Jiraiya looked behind him and at Sakura. "Why? He's too dangerous to keep around to try and interrogate?" Jiraiya asked.

"And besides, I want to kill Itachi," Sasuke said, coming forward.

"But there is a way to hold him captive," Sakura said, raising her hand, "I could shrink him to an inch tall and we take him that way." The guys exchanged glances and each saw a hint of a sadistic smile in her face. Naruto was oblivious.

"I like that," Sasuke said, "Do it."

"I couldn't stop you if I tried, right?" Jiraiya asked.

"Probably not," Sakura said, walking over to Shikamaru and Neji. She waved her hand over Itachi and his body began to shrink. Soon he was only an inch tall, and nude. Sakura picked him up. Behind her, Jiraiya knelt down.

"Summoning!" he said, calling out a toad. "Listen, I want you to take Itachi back to Tsunade. Don't eat him. Inform her what we did and we're on the move again." The toad croaked in response and opened his mouth. Sakura tossed Itachi and walked back to Naruto. The toad croaked again and left.

"All right, let's get moving," Jiraiya commanded. The ninja nodded and they went off.
