The medical jargon made me laugh, and Sasuke and Naruto were so adorable, which is delightful after reading chapter 7. ^_^

But this bit:

“You’d never do it,” he said quietly. Naruto would never, ever countenance or perform or let be performed the operations he’d seen the results of up in Stone. And Naruto still insisted he was going to be Hokage, and, even if that didn’t work out, at this rate the idiot was looking to be Konoha’s top medical ninja after Tsunade. So that was all right.

And this bit:

Maybe it was even a good thing Sakura was out on her own mission, right now, because otherwise she might have been the one sent to Hidden Stone. It could have been her who saw the results of one too-charming medical researcher’s experiments, cared for now as best their village could manage for however long they would live. He didn’t want her to ever have to see something like that. Not her, not Naruto, they shouldn’t have to look horror in the face.

Ouch. I hope he doesn't have problems with Sakura once she comes back and they find out what she's been doing!

*rueful* He doesn't like it, but he's also pretty gung ho about anything that lets her kill off the person responsible. And I think it's a while before she tells them the little details.
