"-so when he was cornered he used that jutsu, after which the pursuers spent a fair amount of time trying to break what they thought was a genjutsu."
"I see," said Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Doctor Hanafuda?"
The Doctor stepped forward, her ill-fitting clothes a bit rumpled, and adjusted her glasses as she tried to get past certain things about current events that were hitting her personally. "Orochimaru's description of the jutsu seems to be accurate. It is a massive transformation that can only be resisted if one has more chakra than the caster or if one is prepared for it. This 'Rule 63 Jutsu' turns the victim into a young female version of themselves. It apparently does not require the victim to be human, as that snakey bastard..."
The Hokage waited for Doctor Hanafuda to get control of herself, as he'd seen sufficient evidence that every victim of the jutsu had emotional stability issues. As well as new personality traits that could be considered alarming to more than a few of them.
"Pardon sir," said Doctor Hanafuda. "In any case - a cat was hit, apparently by accident, and was transformed into a female human with cat-ears and a tail. After that, it appears he deliberately escaped in the direction of the Inuzuka compound until chased off."
"Yes, and from there he also went by the Aburame compound and decided to have some revenge against the Konoha Police Headquarters," said the Hokage. "I've already gotten that much, from you I'm wanting the details of your physical examinations."
"Ah," said Doctor Hanafuda, once again taking a deep breath to settle herself. "All the victims are their original age if younger, but are otherwise between the ages of nine and sixteen. All victims end up female and human, mostly human if they didn't start out that way, and have similar side effects."
"What kind of side-effects?" asked the Hokage. Orochimaru seemed to find it amusing to continue this jutsu, perhaps because it demonstrated he could get in and out of the village and tweak his old sensei's nose whenever he wished. Or was he just continuing to experiment with the jutsu in order to find ways around its limitation? Either way, he was going to have to find a way to beef up the security.
Then the doctor's words registered and he had to ask for clarification of that part.
"So here you go," said Itachi to her younger sister.
"Dolls?" asked the sniffling Satsuki.
"Yes," said Itachi, patting her little sister on the head. "Then when I'm out on missions - you'll have the Itachi doll and I'll have the Satsuki doll. When we're together, they can be together then too."
Mikoto Uchiha lugged out the stepstool in order to properly reach the stove. This was going to be troublesome.
"This cinches it," said the other young woman in the kitchen. "Clearly Sarutobi's gotten too soft and too dedicated to peaceful solutions. We must follow Madara's advice and overthrow him."
"Dear," said Mikoto as she stirred the contents of a pot. "You do realize that you're now a fourteen year old girl? And that this might not be the best of times to stage a coup?"
"Actually, it's perfect," said Fugaku. "Nobody will expect it, and things are confused."
"Yes, but so are the members of the clan who were hit," pointed out Mikoto.
"Sasuke is so cool!" said Sakura. "I'll bet his career choice is gonna be cool too!"
"Yeah, you said it!" said Ino. "I'll bet he'll put down something really cool!"
"I wanna be a bride!" said Satsuki from her place in the classroom.
"..." went the two girls as they looked at each other.
"Uhm, yeah," said Ino. "Uhm, right."
"Yeah," said Sakura. "Why is Sasuke still here when this is girls-only for this period?"
