Temari looks over her shoulder at him as she moves over to a drawer, "Alright vase, lets get you all settled in." Naruto sighed mentally in relief. She'd have to empty him to move him, and once he was in another spot in the house, it'd be much easier to change back

To his confusion, she came back with a brush and a small bottle of some clear liquid. She dipped the brush into it, then started drawing symbols upon him. The brush tickled, but he was still able to maintain his composure. Despite not enjoying this, he couldn't change back with all this water inside him. At best he'd make a mess and be caught again. At worse, it'd still be inside him afterwards! He concentrated on maintaining his form as the brush teased him, Temari's face pinched in concentration.

After a few minutes of putting symbols all over him, she smiled happily. "There, that'll make sure you don't get chipped or broke accidentally somehow. Now lets get that water out of you" These were the most beautiful words Naruto had heard in forever. After the salty dirty mix was dumped out of him, she placed him back on the floor. She chuckled to herself "Now you stay right there and dry, i've got to go run a few more errands"

Naruto waited for a count of 30 after she'd left, then willed himself to change back. Unfortunately, nothing happened. "Why isn't this... Oh no, whatever she drew on me. It's to protect the vase. If I changed back, I would be me, and the vase would be gone. I can't change back!" He tried everything he could, but his initial change was just too good. He was a completely inanimate vase cursed with a human mind and senses.

After a while, he heard someone re-entering the house. Temari walked into the room, and refilled him with water. She laid down, and Naruto was once again pressed into service as a footbath, the gunk slowly diffusing through the water and coating his insides. "Sure is hot out today, but that's okay, as long as I've got my wonderful foot vase to come home and soak in. This is the best purchase ever"
