*blinks* Didn't somebody (Asuka, maybe) do that already? Well, anyway.
To her complete surprise, during the timeskip Sakura discovers that she is the Vampire Slayer, mystically chosen to defend the world from threats beyond the grave. Helpfully, this includes Orochimaru and Madara, who turn out to have their evil powers on account of being, you know, vampires. She reveals this to Tsunade, who writes to Jiraiya, who turns out to belong to an ancient society whose members keep track of the Slayer and aid her in her quest. He brings Naruto home early, after teaching him a special jutsu that mimics sunlight and will take care of lesser vampire minions.
And then they all go after Sasuke, but alas, too late to stop Orochimaru from turning him into a vampire... just as Madara has turned all members of Akatsuki. So now they need to bring Sasuke back to himself (since obviously Sakura and Naruto refuse to do the sensible thing and stake him) which means they have to look through the records of the Uchiha clan (who turn out to have been secret vampire hunters as well as would-be revolutionaries) and find a way to wake a vampire's conscience (which otherwise wouldn't happen until at least a century into being undead; the new instincts are too powerful).
It turns out to be the Power of Friendship (because this is Naruto, after all) and they find a way to put themselves into jeopardy with only Sasuke to save them (because he doesn't know Sakura is the Vampire Slayer and can get out of whatever the trap is) and Sasuke comes back to himself and turns on Madara. And they all take him down together. (Sakura and Naruto previously took down Orochimaru, after Sasuke rampaged through his hideout and ran off.)
Hmm. Tangentially, I think Itachi came back to himself after his turning when he'd killed the rest of his family and then was faced with killing Sasuke; he couldn't do that and remembered himself.
Anyway, they all live happily ever after, except Sasuke needs to wear a cloak and hat in the daytime now and Sakura and Naruto tease him endlessly over his bad fashion choices. *silly*
