"You are going to recall Naruto-kun, or else."
"Or else what? It is illegal to geld your Kage, you know."
It should be noted, that Sarutobi Hiruzen was a brave man. He had fought in two Great Ninja Wars, he was knows as the God of Shinobi. If chips ever went down he would readily sacrifice his life for the best of his village.
"But, as the Head Iryo-nin of Konoha Hospital, I can override you in medical matters. I will declare you unfit for duty, make you eat hospital food until Naruto-kun comes back, make you attend therapy where you will have to keep daily diary of your innermost feelings and play with a pink, squishy ball and wear green paper gown the whole time, carry out painful rectal examinations on you, let my interns use you as a practice dummy when they first lean acupuncture, confiscate all contraband literature and the new, experimental medication just might have the unfortunate side effect of erectile dysfunction."
But no one is quite that brave.
And, in the end, Sarutobi had never been happier to loose. It should also be counted in favour of him that he yielded before Okubo Hibari walked through the demolished door carrying a pile of papers higher than her tantō was long.
