As Orochimaru's chakra filled Naruto's body, Naruto's last bit of reserve left him, leaving him a puppet or Orochimaru. Luckily for him, Orochimaru was already dead, leaving him unable to make Naruto do anything. Unluckily, Orochimaru's chakra was still poisoning Naruto and filling him with evil thoughts. The Kyubi was slowly breaking down Orochimaru's chakra like before, but it would be necessary for another cleansing by Tsunade before Naruto would be fine. Jiraiya held his sword at the ready, prepared to fight Naruto if need be. He watched as Naruto got onto his hands and knees, scanning the ground, obviously looking for Orochimaru. Jiraiya quickly summoned a toad and said, "Get rid of Orochimaru's body."

The toad croaked and its tongue darted out, wrapping around the two halves of Orochimaru and pulling them into his stomach. The toad disappeared and Jiraiya kept his eye on Naruto. Naruto was starting to lose his patience with trying to find Orochimaru. Then his gaze landed on Jiraiya. He grinned and his hand darted out, whether meaning to hit or grab Jiraiya wasn't sure. He pulled out his sword and struck out, landing a hit on Naruto's finger tip. It was like poking someone with a pin. It stung, but he didn't even get it in deep enough to make Naruto bleed. Jiraiya was about to fight back with something a bit more damaging, when a voice suddenly called out, "Naruto!"

Naruto looked and saw Shikamaru, Iruka, and Gaara running toward him. He stood up to his full height and the other ninja faltered slightly. At their current size of twenty feet they were about the size of Naruto's ankle. Not good. Shikamaru increased his height to the max of twenty five while Iruka went up to fifty and Gaara reached seventy five. Even then, they were practically nothing next to Naruto. Shikamaru quickly sent his shadow out and caught Naruto, instantly feeling the strain of holding someone Naruto's size. His chakra was rushing out fast. Iruka set Tsunade and Sakura down and quickly ran forward, pulling out a scroll and unrolling it at Naruto. With a puff of smoke, a giant kunai was released from the scroll along with a few shuriken. Iruka tossed the shuriken at Naruto who took the tiny bits of metal like they were nothing. Pulling back, Iruka jammed the kunai into Naruto's foot, hoping to at least cause some damage. The kunai stuck in Naruto's big toe, a small trickle of blood flowing from the wound. Naruto barely blinked, his eyes fiery with the desire to reach out and crush Iruka. Luckily, Shikamaru's jutsu was still holding. Gaara quickly called up his sand and proceeded to wrap it around Naruto's arms and legs, pulling him to the ground and tethering him. Shikamaru released the jutsu, sweat beading on his forehead and said, "That was close."

Naruto instantly started struggling, though the sand managed to hold him fast. Tsunade sighed and said, "Okay, we've got him held down. Now lay him on his back so I can purify his chakra. Ready Sakura?"

"Ready!" Sakura said, preparing to add her chakra to the procedure once more.

"Ready Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked.

"I am, but where's Shizune?" Jiraiya asked, pulling out another sealing scroll.

Tsunade stopped dead in her tracks and said, "Oh damn it! Shizune is back at the hospital treating the other patients! We can't do this without her!"

She turned to the giants and said, "One of you hurry and get Shizune!"

Iruka nodded and said, "I'll do it!"

As Iruka ran off, Naruto started glowing a strange purple and red color. His chakra seemed to be growing stronger. Jiraiya looked on and said, "This doesn't look good. The Fox's chakra is mixing with Orochimaru's!"

Sakura clapped her hands to her face and said, "What does that mean?"

"I don't know, but it can't be good!" Jiraiya said as Naruto's chakra continued fluctuating. "I just hope Iruka gets back here fast!"
