She blinks away the disorientation and looks around for the Hokage.

He's nearby, watching the proceedings with a tight look on his face. "Report," he says, partially to both of them.

"The fox is contained again. Naruto's father and mother had sealed echoes of themselves inside as an extra precaution against it getting loose. Minato is fading but it may be possible to extract Kushina into a new body."

"That'd be of much interest, yes. Thank you for your help." He starts directing people in light of the new information, gets the report from the Yamanaka for a more detailed analysis of the current state -

"Do you have a solution for getting a body?"

"There's ways to develop ones - nothing state of the art right now," he says absently, "at least that would be a permanent measure. But temporary measures already exist."

"Is there a way I could stabilize a temporary measure?"

"The main concern is the chakra network rejecting the body, binding seals decaying, or the body itself continuing to decay. I am unsure if you could impact that."

"I can fix or reverse physical decay. It is... possible I could do something about the chakra network."

"Perhaps an area for experimentation."

"Yes. We should act quickly."

"I can send you to R and D as early as tonight."

"Good. Let me know when. Is there anything else that needs attention in the meantime?"

"Not that we require of you, no. They'll be ready for you if you want to go now."

Tasara nods. "Which way?"

He'll give directions.

Then she heads to R&D. There's a life to save.

They've pulled in their biologists by the time she gets there, and have a summary of what they know - switching to a new pre-existing body has been known to work for upwards of a year, tying a soul to a non-human biological body tends to cause mental problems, tying a soul to a non-organic body is hard and tends to fail after a few months to a year, growing bodies from stem cells either results in no chakra network or a person with the same problems as a pre-existing body, and it's possible but costly and usually temporary on a scale of hours or days to form a body out of pure chakra (notably, the tailed beasts are always formed of pure chakra; no one knows how they remain stable) or a chakra-infused element. Much of the information is of varying confidence, since they didn't perform the experiments themselves but rather stole the information itself.

What does a chakra network do? How does it grow? Is there a model she can study?

They explain - and they have 2D models, 3D models, and living (sedated) lab animals.

It seems to her like the problem is that a soul has a certain way it expects its chakra network to be set up. It's likely she can learn to manipulate a chakra network and tweak it into better alignment and thereby extend the lifetime. Does that sound reasonable to the experts?

Very; one's heard some medics can use similar techniques to extend the effective lifespan, but medics that skilled are few and far between.

Tasara practices. She healed Shisui's eye, she's broken genjutsu - her magic is capable of this. The question to be resolved is whether she's capable of this. Chakra networks are finicky and hard to interface with. Being able to reliably map one is the first big hurdle. Then she needs to learn to manipulate one, pull and stretch it, twist it into shape. More than one rat dies as she gets a feel for the proper technique. But eventually, she can reliably alter an existing chakra network. Given more time, she can probably grow one from scratch, but as long as she doesn't need to, it's not worth the effort right now.

Then probably either find an alterable animal body, so Kushina won't have to fight an existing human soul, or a condemned prisoner, is the next step.

She will support whichever has the greater chance of success.
