Naruto had defeated Kakuzu with his newfound jutsu - Wind Style: RasenShuriken. He was feeling that he could rescue Sasuke now. He just couldn't push Sasuke out of his thoughts. He had returned to Konoha and he was going to Tsunade to see if a new mission could be assigned to him. "Defeating Akatsuki, eh? Jeez...you're a restless boy." Tsunade smirked. "Yeah, and I'll save Sasuke now. With my new jutsu, I'll be able to forcibly drag him back!" Naruto said as he clenched his fist. "Not likely. His powers have exceeded far beyound yours. Even with RasenShuriken, you can still not beat him...without killing him." Tsunade said. Naruto looked down. "Then what can I do?" Naruto asked. "Learn a more effective jutsu. You may be surprised but...we have discovered a new hideout. What's more, is that Orochimaru and Kabuto have left Sasuke there...alone." Tsunade said. "Alone?! R-Really?" Naruto asked. "It could be a trap...but there's no sign of them. Perhaps they have moved to another hideout and they're waiting for Sasuke to move as well." Tsunade explained. "Granny Tsunade, you've GOT to send me! I'll manage it this time!" Naruto said. "Alright. But shouldn't I send Sai, Kakashi and Sakura with you?" Tsunade asked. "No, they're probably tired. Especially Kakashi sensei. I want to go alone! Just me and Sasuke." Naruto said. "...Very well then. Here's the intel." Tsunade said as she gave Naruto a map. "Thanks Granny." Naruto said as he waved his hand and opened the door. "And Naruto...good luck." Tsunade smirked. "Yeah!" Naruto cheered as he closed the door.
====================================
"Sighhh...I'm so tired! I've been walking forever! Well, atleast there's just a little more until the hideout." Naruto said as he wiped sweat from his forehead because of the hot sun. It was not long before he met a strange figure, with a dark cloak. "Huh? Who's that?" Naruto said as he approached the man. "Are you lost, mister?" Naruto asked. "You want to get him back, right?" The man asked. "Wh-what are you talking about?" Naruto said as he prepared his kunai. "Oh, no. There's no need for that, my dear boy. I want to give you something which will grant you such power over him, that you have never imagined." The old man continued to explain. "Are you talking about Sasuke?" Naruto asked. "Heh...take this." The man said as he gave Naruto a potion. "What's this for?" Naruto asked as he looked at it. "It's what will give you power over him...something which will make him vulnerable...FOREVER. Well, atleast until a counter jutsu is made, but only a Kage can do that." the man explained. "Will I be able to defeat him with...this thing?" Naruto asked. "Not only that...his life will be in your hands. You could use him for whatever you wanted." The man said. "Whoa...sounds like it's a strong jutsu. So this hypnotizes him or something?" Naruto asked as he looked...at nothing. "EHHHHHHH?! Where did that man go? Hey, mister!!" Naruto screamed, but the mysterious person had disappeared in thin air. "What was that all about? Well, I think that this'll come in handy anyways." Naruto said as he put the potion in his pocket.
Naruto had now walked for around 5 more hours. The sun was so hot that he was sweating like a pig. "Uh..." Naruto groaned as he barely walked until he reached a hideout which looked exactly like the first hideout they had found Sasuke in. "Yes! Finally!" Naruto said as he entered the hideout. It was dark and quiet. He walked until he reached a wide room with a snake made of stone in the center. Infront of the statue...there was a figure. Naruto trembled from excitement. He had managed to find Sasuke now. This was his chance to bring him back for good. "Why are you here? Get out." Someone spoke from the shadows in a cold manner. "Is that the way to greet your friends, Sasuke?" Naruto asked as he glared. The fugire stepped forward and it was revealed to be none other than the Uchiha himself. "You sure are stubborn. Sakura and that other guy who was replacing me interfered last time. You have some nerve to come here again after what I told you. I will kill you this time." Sasuke said with a cold and emotionless glare. Naruto clenched his fists as he heard that. "So I'm no one for you, huh?! I'll take you with me this time! I guarantee it!" Naruto said. Naruto had just barely finished his sentance and Sasuke was behind him with a Chidori in his hand. "Augh!" Naruto turned back and jumped back as he formed a Rasengan in his hand. "Rasengan!" "Chidori!" both boys screamed as they once again clashed. Sparkles were flying everywhere as the jutsus cancelled each other out and pushed them back. "Uh!" Sasuke moaned as he stood on his knees with Naruto standing on his own knees as well. "Damn you...Naruto." Sasuke cursed. "I'll win this no matter what!" Naruto said as he took the potion out of his pocket. Naruto was feeling a bit tired though. The trip was long, and the clash was tiring for him. He had to finish it now. "Heh heh heh...what? You're going to put a curse on me?" Sasuke smirked. "I don't know what it does...but I'm supposed to gain full power over you, so here it goes!" Naruto said as he threw the potion at Sasuke. Sasuke backed away as the potion broke and a strange smoke was unleashed from it. Sasuke inhaled the smoke and looked at Naruto who was getting to his feet. "Was that it?" Sasuke smirked as he looked at Naruto. "Wh-what the...?!" Sasuke stammered as Naruto began to get taller. Naruto was getting taller and taller. Sasuke soon realized that it wasn't Naruto who was getting taller. It was him, who was shrinking. Sasuke's size finally stopped at 1 inch. "Wow!" Naruto said as he looked at the tiny Sasuke. "What did you do to me! You bastard!" Sasuke glared. "So this is what that old man meant by saying that I'd gain power over you. Not so strong now, are you Sasuke?" Naruto giggled as he stomped his black sandal infront of Sasuke. "You loser! Return me back now!" Sasuke screamed his voice which was sounding like a tiny mouse now. "Hmm...you know, this may be my only chance at doing somethings I've always wanted to do to you. I think I'll have some fun for now." Naruto said as he sat down infront of Sasuke grinning evilly at the tiny Uchiha. "Oh boy. My feet hurt so much! This trip until now was really tiring!" Naruto said as he looked down at Sasuke and grinned.
