"Because of this idiot, again, I'm always like this," Naruto explained.
Looking at Naruto, she couldn't believe there was even more to this story—scandal would be a better word. "What do you mean?"
Naruto glared up at Jiraiya once again, who is continuing to grin at Sakura, and then continued, "After we got out of the hotspring and realized what happened, the first thing I wanted to do was leave. Ero-sennin, however, thought it would be a funny and great idea to see me as a girl again, so he picked me up and threw me into the same spring again."
Sakura looked exasperated and sighed, "That sounds like something he would definitely do."
Cocking an eyebrow, Jiraiya asked Sakura, "Was that an insult? You dare insult one of the mighty Legendary Sannin?!"
Sakura just waved her hand at him. "Yes, yes. You're legendary." She looked at Naruto and asked, "What does that have to do with you still being a girl?"
"Well, the first time I fell in and I was turned back with the hot spring along with Ero-sennin. The second time I was thrown in, I turned into a girl, but the hot spring didn't work. This was before we knew the cursed forms turned from exposure to water at different temperatures. I've been a girl ever since then." Naruto explained.
Nodding, Sakura deduced, "The second time being exposed to the cursed water must have made the cursed form permanent."
Naruto nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I figured that out eventually too." She growled under her breath and yelled, "And now, I'm a girl for the rest of my life!"
Turning quickly, Naruto threw a punch at Jiraiya's face, but it was caught. The two began to scuffle about, but Sakura pushed them apart.
"Stop that! It isn't going to get us anywhere." Sakura said. Jiraiya looked in different. Naruto still looked like she was moments away from trying to kill Jiraiya again, but still stopped to listen to Sakura. "Thank you. Now, I think before we do anything else Naruto should be checked out by Tsunade personally. If anyone knows how to cure this form, she will."
Naruto stood up straight, her face glowing. "Ah! That's right! Tsunade-obaachan! She'll cure me of this form, for sure! No more being a girl! Yeah!!"
Sakura looked at him pointedly. "You make it sound like you're being cured of a terminal illness."
