"WHAT?!" screeched Naruto.
"What?" repeated a twitching Sakura a moment later.
"That way you can be on the team, hang in the background and be useless, and that won't be any different from Sakura," said Sasuke.
"Gah?" asked Sakura, thinking that being summed up that way would have made her incredibly angry coming from anyone else. Coming from Sasuke - it was incredibly depressing.
"I wonder what the kunoichi of the various Hidden Villages would think if they could hear that," mused the Being.
"I don't think-" began Naruto.
"Done though."
"ACK!" went Naruto as he suddenly experienced the sort of feeling salt water taffy in a taffy pulling machine might feel. At high speed.
"Retroactive. So, by all records, Naruko was born a girl."
"Just for the record," said Naruko, folding her arms in front of her and scowling at her team-mate, "I despise you."
"-but what about me?" asked Sakura. "If he's, I mean she's, I mean -"
"Who is replacing Sakura on the team?" asked Sasuke, completely ignoring the glare from Naruto and hurt look from Sakura.
"Let's see, if I backtrack this, the normal selection would have been the dead-last which would have been - Hideki."
"That was that really thin guy in the back row?" asked Sakura. "He was dead last?"
"Next to dead last prior to this. Now he's last place. In the prior timeline, his team failed the second genin test and he gave up on the ninja life. Eventually one of the casualties in the Sound Invasion, never realizes who his own parents were or that he's descended distantly from the Senju clan."
"A Senju, an Uchiha, and an Uzumaki on the same team?" asked Sakura. "Wait. Why am I still here?"
"Because it's your turn to make a wish."
"Can I wish that Sasuke's wish be overturned?" asked Sakura.
"No. All wishes are final. Unless the result would be funny, in which case I'll waive that restriction."
"Oh," said Sakura, well aware that time was ticking away. Literally as she could hear the ticking from overhead. "Well, then I guess - I mean I wish-"
