Another update.
-------------------------------------------
"Another team was found dead today kazekage sama," Baki said handing the Kazekage the file, "it was Araki's team."
The fourth opened the file and frowned when he saw their specialities, "one of them is a wind user," the fourth said, he was beginning to see a pattern, "recall all wind users teams on patrol tell them to seal or hide their fans in scrolls, we need to reduce the causalities."
Baki nodded, "hai, I will relay that message by messenger bird."
"Kazekage sama!" another messenger appeared jumping onto another window ledge, "the team from Konoha is here."
"Send them in," the fourth said straightening his robes, before the messenger could answer the door opened. "IS THIS THE OFFICE TO THE YOUTHFUL KAZEKAGE?" yelled a man with super thick eyebrows and bobbed hair, the fourth winched.
"Sensei don't yell," Tenten said gritting her teeth, 'I think they can hear you without the yelling." Tenten immediately froze when she saw the Kazekage in his robes.
"What is it Tenten?' Neji asked and immediately got the answer when she saw the Kazekage sitting in his office, stunned, the Kazekage immediately recognise a Hyuuga when he saw the eyes.
"Did you find his office Gai sensei?" asked a young man with bobbed hair like the elder one, are they family? The Kazekage thought.
"……….."
"Who are you?" the fourth asked unnerved by the older man's eyebrows, or rather the over abundance of it.
"I AM KONOHA'S GREAT GREEN BEAST MAITO GAI!" the older man yelled and did his nice guy pose, which included a thumbs up and a brilliant smile that sparkled, "I HAVE COME HERE ON THE ETERNALLY YOUTHFUL HOKAGE'S REQUEST TO HELP YOU!"
"And you three are…." The fourth asked after his ears haves recovered enough, "and please don't yell my hearing is perfectly fine."
"Lee," the Gai clone said and flashed his own nice guy pose and sparkling smile that was slightly less brilliant than Gai's.
"Tenten," the girl with the buns on her head said nodding apologetically.
"Hyuuge Neji," the white-eyed boy said with an annoyed scowl and arrogant posture, typical Hyuuga, the fourth thought.
"YOSH NOW THAT THE INTRODUCTIONS ARE DONE, TELL US ABOUT THE SITUATION KAZEKAGE SAMA!!" Gai yelled.
The fourth winched, can't the man keep it down?
--------------------------------------------------------------
After the fourth explained the situation to Gai and his team, the ever energetic Gai looked serious, totally unlike the fourth's first impression of him, "…and this man is a highly skilled water element user and he has killed several of my best Anbu, so I'm sorry after you long trip here but I believe that your team is totally unsuited for this…."
"YOSH!" Gai yelled, and fourth quickly covered his ears, "NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOW THE POWER OF TEAM NINE!!!"
"Wait…" the fourth said but his protest was unheard because of Gai's yelling, "ALRIGHT TEAM TEN, LET'S PROCEED TO CHECK OUT EVERY FAN AND PUPPET USER TEAM IN THE VILLAGE!"
"Right," the team chorus completely ignoring the fourth's protest and quickly left the room, Gai paused at the door before he left, "ah one more thing."
"Yes?" the fourth asked.
"Good day to you," Gai said and left, the door closed leaving silence.
The fourth sweatdropped, "Baki…."
"Hai Kazekage sama?"
"Does anyone respect me in sand nowadays?"
"…….Yes."
"What's with the pause?!" the fourth asked crying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Temari," Kankuro said to his sister, team Sasori was currently resting having recently come back from their bandit mission, sitting in a restaurant and sipping wind's famous coffee "don't look to your left but there's a guy watching you."
Temari smiled, "is he good looking?" Temari always attracted the attention of boys, only the presence of Kankuro and Gaara ever kept them away.
"No, it's a weirdo," Kankuro replied discreetly.
"Describe him," Temari said one hand on her fan, which on the floor was right beside her.
"Bobbed hair and super thick eyebrows," Kankuro replied immediately, "wearing green spandex."
"Don't be ridiculous," Temari laughed turning to look, "there's no one in sand who looks like…..waargh!!" Temari saw the exact same face staring at her a feet inches in-front of her face.
"Are you the one?" the boy asked all serious.
"NO!" Temari yelled standing up hand on her fan, "STAY AWAY!"
"Lee!" came a fairly normal girl with her hair tied into buns and wearing a pink blouse, she whacked the boy on the head, "don't go scaring people! I'm sorry miss."
"No its alright," Temari said relaxing a bit, "I was surprised that's all."
Kankuro laughed, "hey you're really popular Temari!"
"Shut up!" Temari blushed; meanwhile Tenten also stared at the fan Temari was carrying, "what?"
"Are you a wind user?" Tenten asked.
Temari nodded, "yeah, so what?"
Lee immediately grabbed Temari by her fan arm, "come with me if you want to live!" Lee yelled causing quit a few female patrons to look their way.
"You got to be kidding me!" Temari exclaimed while Kankuro laughed accidentally spitting out his coffee, "Kankuro!"
"Oh this is rich Temari," Kankuro managed to gasped out, he too a deep breath to calm himself before speaking, "um…ha…sorry, look kid, spitting out lines from an old movie isn't going to get you the girl seriously."
"Huh?" Lee looked confused.
"Anyway," Kankuro stood up, "if you would excuse me, I got to get to the workshop to do a few repairs on my puppet. Have a nice date Temari."
"Oi Kankuro!" Temari yelled trying to get out of the boy's strong grip, why was this boy so strong? Temari thought.
"Um...wait please!" Tenten said.
"What kid?" Kankuro asked.
"Are you a puppet user?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah so?" Kankuro asked.
"Are you in the same team as her?" Tenten asked, "please answer us it is a matter of life and death."
"Of course," Kankuro said, "warrgh!" Lee had also grabbed Kankuro by the hand and wasn't letting go.
"Lee!" Tenten yelled embarrassed.
"WE MUST BRING THEM TO GAI SENSEI!" Lee yelled dragging both Sand sibs by the hand.
"Lee!" Tenten exclaimed but was stopped by a hand, Tenten turned.
"Madam the payment please," the waiter asked eyelid twitching.
"LEE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" Tenten yelled as she took out her own wallet to pay.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasori knew it was a mistake to leave his puppet to visit the third's grave, he had a sense of bad aura heading his way. But he still did it anyway.
"Oi you the youth with the flaming hair," came a manly voice.
Sasori ignored it, "hey you, do you not hear me boy?" the voice asked again, it was getting closer.
Sasori turned to look at who was behind him and turned away just as quick, he quickly walked away because that man was a weirdo and Sasori of the red sands do not associate with weirdoes, also from the way the man was dressed he was probably a paedophile. Sasori avoided paedophilic weirdoes like the plague, somewhere in his lab Orochimaru sneezed.
"CHALLENGING ME TO RACE ARE YOU BOY? YOSH IF I DO NOT DEFEAT YOU, I WILL RUN AROUND KONOHA 500 TIMES!" the man yelled.
Sasori ran, the man followed all around Suna. "YOUR YOUTHFUL SPIRIT IS REFRESHING IN THIS VILLAGE, BOY!" the man yelled, "BUT IT WILL NOT DEFEAT ME!!!"
Sasori reached into his cloak and pulled out a scroll, Gai's eyes widen, POOF! Immediately a large wooden centipede appeared, Sasori leaped onto its back, "later!" Sasori mocked and quickly used his superb puppet skills to increase his running speed.
That was probably one of Sasori's mistakes because on seeing that the boy can use puppets, Gai ran faster, "YOSH YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME BOY!"
Sasori moved his fingers faster; the centipede ran as if on steroids.
Gai decided to unleash his gates, he immediately turned red, "COME TO ME MUHAHAHAHAHA!" Gai laughed.
The two of them managed to run pass Lee who was still dragging Temari and Kankuro, Sasori's centipede puppet flew across their path faster than a MACH 1 motorcar.
"Oh wow a centipede variation!" Kankuro said amazed.
"MUHAHAHAHAHA!" Gai ran pass them with his red skin and glowing eyes.
"A monster!" Temari exclaimed.
"Gai sensei!" Lee yelled.
Gai stopped, "OH LEE!"
"Who are you chasing sensei?" Lee asked.
"AN EXTREMELY YOUTHFUL BOY WHO CHALLENGED ME TO A RACE!" Gai yelled, "NOW IF YOU MUST EXCUSE ME I MUST BE OFF MUHAHAHAHAHA!" Gai disappeared in the direction of the centipede.
"What are you two doing here?" Sasori rasped in his Hiruko form.
"Sasori sensei!" Kankuro exclaimed, "this…this kid here…"
"What?" Sasori rasped, "if you have time to play with kids, I suggest you rest up for your next mission tomorrow."
Lee let go of both the sand sib's arms and looked at Sasori, "you look evil," Lee said.
Temari snorted rubbing her arm for circulation while Kankuro laughed.
Sasori shrugged, "like I care what someone from Konoha thinks. Let's go you two."
With that said Sasori walked away without noticing the looks of intense gratitude directed at their sensei.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later when the sun went down team nine compared notes...
"In the end I didn't find the youthful boy who challenged me," Gai said at the end of the day, "what about you three?"
Neji started first, "most of the wind users in Suna are female, but most of them don't work with puppet users due to their difference on opinion, the puppets users tend to work in a group and they rarely work with wind users, I got this information from a female wind user jounin, she seems reliable."
"Yosh Tenten?"
"Um Lee and I kind of met a puppet user working together with a wind user, but Lee dragged them away left before I could get anything useful," Tenten looked embarrassed, "later I did a separate investigation and found that those two belonged to a team of long range specialist and their sensei is a legendary puppet master."
"Excellent, Lee my youthful student?"
"I followed a very evil looking sensei to a grave, the sensei just stood there for a while before leaving, he then went to the…."
"Lee!" Tenten moaned, "you didn't follow one guy the whole day did you?!"
"I was hunting the killer Tenten!" Lee said.
Neji sighed, "just because the guy looks evil doesn't mean anything, for all we know he could just happen to look that way."
"He sounded weird too!" Lee protested, Neji frowned at this, "plus he's also the sensei of a wind user and puppeteer and he made threats at them, Gai sensei he could be the killer!"
"Excellent work Lee," Gai said patting the boy on his back, "so we will investigate this sensei and prevent him from committing anymore murders."
Meanwhile….in the Kazekage's office….
"Damn I forgot to tell them the suspect's name," the fourth cursed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"They're following us sensei," Kankuro said not bothering to turn his back.
"Ignore them or kill them sensei?" Temari asked.
"I say kill them," Gaara said with an insane smile.
Both Kankuro and Temari sweatdropped, Sasori almost agreed with them since the larger green beast had chased Sasori around the entire village and the smaller green beast, had followed him the whole day. "No….." Sasori said after a moment's thought, he had cause several international incidents with Konoha in the past, particularly with konoha's white fang, "place one hand on me and hold on tight."
"?" but they did as was told, Gaara followed after a slight moment of hesitation.
Sasori immediately took out a scroll, and unrolled it, Gai immediately recognised it, "THEY GETTING AWAY!!!!"
"Sensei I think they misunderstood our intentions!" Tenten exclaimed, "can't we just…."
POOF! A large puppet spider appeared with Sasori on top, "cool!" Kankuro exclaimed. Inside the puppet, Sasori smirked and opened a slot in his chest, instantly hundreds of strings attached themselves to the puppet, the spider reared, "hold on brats," Sasori rasped and the spider moved quickly across the sands.
"YOSH I'LL GO AFTER THEM!" Gai yelled, "KEEP UP WITH ME!!!"
Not on your life, Sasori thought and rasped, "puppet art, hundred movement steps."
"Yaaaaah!" Temari yelled holding on for dear life as the spider moved impossibly fast leaving Gai far behind, Kankuro meanwhile was enjoying it ever though it looked like one of those poisoned legs were inches from his dangling foot. Gaara's eyes were widened in shock, while Shukaku was yelling like crazy it was enjoying this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its was only an hour later did Sasori decided enough was enough, finding one of the usual sand shinobi's rest caves, he quickly released the chakra strings and the spider's movement's slowed to a crawl. Sasori then resealed the wooden spider, "we'll rest at this place for the night."
"Sensei why didn't you use that skill before in our previous missions?" Kankuro asked eyes sparkling.
"One, it requires intense concentration," Sasori rasped feeling tired, "two it consumes too much chakra, three the user will be extremely weakened after use, four your control must be perfect.
"So it's only meant as an escape technique sensei?" Kankuro asked.
"Yes," Sasori rasped, crap the effect were beginning to show, "so now I expect you three to be on guard, since I wont be able to attack very well, due to chakra drainage."
Temari nodded, "so basically what is our mission objective?"
"Destroy a dam inside one of wind's neighbouring countries, springs country," Sasori rasped, "apparently there was a dispute with one of the villages there against one of the countrie's prominent businessmen about a hot springs."
Temari eyes brighten, Sasori did not miss that look having years of dealing with females, "we'll go to one to relax after our mission," Sasori rasped, "my treat."
"Oh yeah!" Kankuro cheered, "hot springs! Never been to one before I heard they're great!"
"….What is a hot spring?" Gaara asked calmly.
"……." Both sand sibs kept quiet.
"It's a place where you sit in someplace hot and sweaty, and lie to yourself that you're enjoying yourselves," Sasori rasped, "and you will also be naked in front of others."
"Wrong!" both Temari and Kankuro yelled crossing their hands.
"Have you ever been to a hot springs before sensei?" Kankuro demanded.
"Once," Sasori grimaced inside Hiruko, "it was hell, all those bodies squashed together in one tiny space….."
"So a hot springs is a form of torture…" Gaara said, "I understand."
"Gaara a hotsprings is not like that!" Temari exclaimed.
"That what is it really like?" Gaara asked.
Temari-never been to one only heard about it.
Kankuro-never been to one either but hoped to try it.
Sasori-been to one but says it was hell.
"……..It seems our end of the day discussions always turn awkward," Sasori rasped, "set up camp and rest, we'll be crossing the border tomorrow."
"Oh yeah we haven't finished the girlfriend discussion," Kankuro said.
"SLEEP!" Sasori snapped.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sasori sensei are you alright?" Kankuro asked the next day, they were travelling across the sand as a slower pace then normal due to Sasori's fatigue.
"I'm fine," Sasori rasped, "everyone jump!"
Immediately all four of leaped to avoid a sudden quicksand that appeared beneath them, "heh," came an unfamiliar voice, "looks like at least one of you knows what he's doing."
Landing a few feet away Sasori looked up and saw an Iwa nin dressed in a worn out grey vest and long green pants, he was wearing arm and leg guards but they also looked worn, the Iwa nin's headband had a long scratch across it.
"Missing nin from Iwa," Sasori rasped, "the great wars are over why are you still fighting us?"
"Heh," the man snorted, "don't act all innocent with me suna shinobi, a group of you recently killed a bunch of my best men." The man grinned an unleashed a high amount of killing intent at them. Kankuro gasped while Temari whimpered, but both of them held their ground. Sasori remained unmoved and so did Gaara.
"Oh?" the Iwa nin smirked, "it seems you three kids have an excellent sensei, to teach them the horrors of death so fast.
"That pathetic amount of killing intent only works on children," Sasori rasped, "I'll show you mine." Sasori knew that if they could intimidate this man to go away, it would be for the best.
But the man remained unmoved, "it good," the Iwa nin said, "may I asked what is your great name sand nin?"
"Akasuna no Sasori," Sasori rasped.
The rock nin sneered, "the Sasori? The infamous slayers of hundreds? The rumour puppet master who could take out an entire country by himself? The S ranked shinobi whose name is right up there with Konoha's yellow flash and Konoha's white fang?"
"It seems you've heard of me," Sasori rasped unmoving.
"Heard of you?" the rock nin rasped, "everyone is rock has heard of it, there are even rumours of the great Akatsuki wishing to recruit you."
Akatsuki, Sasori thought, if this man has heard of such a secret organisation, its not good….
"Akatsuki?" Kankuro asked.
"Oh?" the rock nin sneered, "you never heard of them? Tsk tsk, shame on you Sasori." Sasori immediately released several senbon needles which the man dodged with ease, "Akatsuki is," the rock nin said as he dodged, "a great organisation which devotes itself to the extermination of Jinchurrikki. They ensure that those tailed menaces, don't have the chance to run free again."
Gaara's eyes immediately turned cold, "die."
The man immediately squawked as sand surrounded him, "oh no I'm caught what do I do?"
Gaara raised one hand, "SAND FUNERAL!"
But the sands frozed, their movements sluggish as water appeared out of seemingly no where and slowed it down. The man escaped easily.
"So you're one of them are you brat?" the rock nin mocked with a smile, "how nice, and from the technique it's the one tail Shukaku, tell me, Shukaku's team-mates don't you wish that this monster never existed?"
"SAND FUNERAL!!"
"Gaara control yourself!" Sasori rasped, "Temari, Kankuro what are you two doing? Attack him!"
"Oh…" Temari unfroze herself, Kankuro gulped.
"You two," Gaara roared, "I knew you two were going to betray me, I get rid of you too, SAND FUNERAL! SAND FUNERAL!" The rock nin smiled, his work was done, with that he body flickered out of there.
"Waargh!" Kankuro yelped barely dodging it, Temari screamed out of fear as she dodged them, both of them what would happen if the sand caught them.
This was a worse case scenario for Sasori; all pretence of teamwork had disappeared, "Gaara charging around blindly is not going to help matters at all!" Sasori yelled as he leap back avoid the sand which Gaara was using his hands to guide, "wake up you stupid brats, fighting among ourselves in the presence of an enemy is useless and it will only get us killed!"
"He's going to kill me!" Temari yelled tears streaming out of her eyes, "he's going to kill me!"
"Kankuro!" Sasori yelled as he watched his student get caught by the sand, by now the sand had also surrounded his huge puppet form.
"I'm sorry Sasori," the third said with a sad smile on his face. Sasori closed his eyes as he remembered, reaching into his cloak and Sasori took out a scroll different from the others, it had the kanji 'third' in front of it, "I forgive you," Sasori whispered and leaped out of Hiruko before the sand covered it completely.
POOF! Gaara's eyes widen as he sudden realized his sand was blocked, he looked around, his sensei's puppet was lying on the ground, the huge cloak had been ripped away revealing an empty space large enough for one person. Temari's eyes were widen in shock as a wall of iron had appeared protecting her from harm, Kankuro whimpered as Iron had form a protective cocoon around him prevent Gaara's infamous attack.
"Iron Sand," came a younger voice from behind Gaara, all three of them turned to see a young boy with red hair, barely older than them, one hand held chakra strings at the tip, leading to one black haired puppet in a black coloured robe.
"Impossible," Kankuro croaked, "how did he…."
"A technique similar to Gaara's…." Temari said stunned, "only one person in Suna has such a thing and he's dead."
"Sandaime Kazekage," Kankuro said softy.
"You, you stopped me from my prey," Gaara hissed, "for that you're going to die."
"Release those two first," Sasori said calmly, "then we can have a fight."
"No," Gaara hissed, the sand had now begin to cover both Kankuro and Temari again slowly crushing the cocoons of iron, "they betrayed me just like he did, for that they need to pay."
"Yashamaru was an idiot who thought that his death will make you stronger," Sasori retorted, "he wanted to have revenge for his sister so badly that he poisoned the villager's minds."
"I don't believe it," Gaara hissed, the sand continued to swirl around the cocoons, tightening, but the Iron sands held and they slowly floated into the air, Sasori shook those cocoon to remove the clinging sand.
"Its true," Sasori said, "I regret myself for not stopping him, because I too hated the fourth, hated your father, I thought it would be an ultimate form of revenge, the son killing the father," Sasori looked at Gaara in the eyes, at time like this Sasori really wished he could cry, but puppet do not shed tears like humans do, they remained cold emotionless and always perfect.
After moving those two away, Sasori dispelled the cocoons, "you two, get away as far as you can, I don't care how far, just say out of harms way," Sasori said. Both Kankuro and Temari looked indecisive, "GO!" Sasori yelled, and both of them turn and ran.
"Why do you do so much for them?" Gaara said after they disappeared, "they're not related to you."
"They are my precious students," Sasori said, "the same as you, they may be irritating noisy and sometimes cheeky but they are precious."
"Would you give up your life," Gaara asked confusion on his face, "just to save them?"
"Yeah," Sasori nodded a wishful smile on his face, "I will."
"Then die!" Gaara roared and sands surrounding them immediately started to flare up surrounding Sasori, Sasori immediately leaped onto a platform of Iron sand and used the third's magnetic power to fly above the sand's range. Gaara looked bewildered, but his expression later grew set, he copied Sasori and flew up to meet him, the sand followed.
Sasori immediately tried to think of a plan, my attack mainly includes poisoned senbon, poisoned darts and a puppet army, not exactly good to deal with Shukaku's vessel, maybe if I had Temari's wind, no I can't ask her to fight with me, but I remember I did equip myself with elemental scrolls in case I need to fight elemental users, however I just recovered from exhaustion, not a good combination….
"Stop dreaming and fight!" Gaara roared, by now he had gathered a ton of sand with him, large enough to create a small island, shit, Sasori thought, I have to lure him away from the sand.
"You can't even reach me," Sasori mocked and flew higher diagonally, he suddenly had a brainwave which was very reckless and very stupid, I need to get my sanity checked if I pulled this off, Sasori thought.
"Stop running!" Gaara roared following.
"Tell the stupid Tanuki to butt off first," Sasori said and winching at the childishness of his taunt, whatever just say anything to distract him.
Gaara responded by swiping motion that lead to a claw sandy paw striking at Sasori directly, lucky Sasori used the sand to protect him, but the impact was enormous, Sasori almost felt himself being swatted out of the sky. Undaunted Sasori continued his upward climb.
"You don't even know how it feels like to have everyone see you like a monster!" Gaara roared as they flew higher.
"I do," Sasori said, "I do know very well, more than you can imagine."
Like an endless game of cat and mouse they flew higher, the sand Gaara could gather also grew steadily less, but so did Sasori's sand, Sasori made the rest retreat back into the third's puppet using only enough for him to stand on. The water vapour was slowly growing thick and Sasori knew they were reaching the end when they flew through a cloud.
"Shukaku is playing with you Gaara," Sasori said, "don't give in to it, without you he's nothing but a stupid Tanuki(racoon)."
The Shukaku in Gaara responded by completely asking Gaara to let it take over, Gaara agreed using the force sleep technique, "you stupid human!" Shukaku in Gaara roared, "I'll make you pay for this come down!"
"Lousy racoon," Sasori yelled, "kiss me "
By now the air was growing thick, Shukaku in the act of using one of his newly formed paws to swipe paused, "what the, what's happening?"
"Stupid aren't you?" Sasori asked flying out of range, "use you brain stupid racoon."
Shukaku felt himself disappearing, "how can this happen? Everything growing dark, NOOOOO!"
Now! Sasori thought and immediately flew in and punched Gaara/Shukaku right in the face, the sand weakened by the water vapour was powerless to stop it, Gaara propelled by the impact flew off the sand platform and downwards, Sasori followed, "Gaara!" Sasori yelled grabbing the boy just in time. Just then Sasori felt the last of chakra disappearing, I knew this would happen, Sasori thought, he immediately resealed the third, no sense destroying it with me, Sasori thought as they spiralled down.
It was a long fall, and Sasori was glad of the time it allowed it let him think, I guess if I did things lots of things to save this boy from loneliness I should have done it, Sasori thought wondering if he can make amends by saving this boy.
Sasori looked up and saw sand particles, flying around them and the sand is powerless to stop the fall, I still have a slight amount of chakra left, Sasori thought, which one should I use?
The answer came easily, Sasori carefully took out his transport scroll, unrolling it carefully to ensure the wind didn't remove it from his hand, Sasori looked at the one he was considering, there was a kanji for 'bat' on, "hope the wind resistance will lower the speed of descent," Sasori murmured. "Who are you?" asked a weaken Gaara waking up.
"A friend," Sasori replied pressing his hand towards the seal on the scroll, "a friend who should have done this ages ago." (Saving Gaara)
"A friend?" Gaara asked still half asleep, "that's nice….look mother,….I made…my first friend…."
"There will be more," Sasori said as the bat puppet appeared, below them, "you're young Gaara, there still will be lots of chances for you to make more friends, all of them will acknowledge you and your existence, all you have to have to trust and love again."
"But what if they betray me again?" Gaara asked calmly.
Sasori smirked, "then it's their loss for not gaining such a wonderful friend."
The ground was coming up fast and their descent was still not slowing, well I guess we're screwed, Sasori thought.
"WIND ELEMENT GREAT WIND EXPLOSION!" Temari yelled.
Both Gaara and Sasori turned to look, it was Temari being held by Karasu which was being flung by Kankuro, "oi you two!" Temari yelled, "never fear big sister Temari is here to save you!"
"Temari…" Gaara said shock beyond words.
"I'm your sensei!" Sasori yelled as the wind current fro Temari greatly stopped their descent, "your senior!"
"Sasori sensei?" Gaara asked more to himself.
"Temari after Karasu and you get back to the ground, I'm going to guide the bat puppet down to the ground!" Kankuro yelled.
"Kankuro…" Gaara whispered.
"I see if I can use my last remaining chakra to create strings that could be linked to yours!" Sasori yelled, "your range isn't far enough!"
"Everyone…" Gaara said.
Suddenly Gaara felt a jerk as the bat puppet now turned kite was slowly guided to the ground, "we did it," Sasori said relieved. Gaara then noticed how cold Sasori's arm felt, it felt like fine polished wood with ice on parts of it.
"Sensei are you…." Gaara suddenly felt he should ask.
"Yeah," Sasori said calmly as they hit the ground with a thud, "but it's a secret understand?"
Gaara nodded, "don't worry you're not alone," Sasori said as Kankuro and Temari both ran to get them, "there are eight more like you in this world, and many more other who suffer the label of being not human."
"You two," Temari asked an anger mark on her head, "are you two okay?"
"Your technique almost blew by head off," Sasori said standing up and dusting himself, he held out a hand to Gaara, Gaara accepted it and stood up.
WHAM! Sasori's head tilted forward as Temari smacked him, "ow!" Sasori said rubbing his head, "what was that for?"
WHACK! "For being an idiot!" Kankuro yelled.
"Don't push your luck you two just because I'm in this form!" Sasori protested.
"You look like a little kid chibi chan," Temari teased.
"I'm not a chibi," Sasori protested, "might as well whack Gaara for his stupidity."
Gaara someone managed to look innocent in spite of his earlier rampage, there were imaginary wings out of his back and he even had a halo.
Sasori sighed, "alright, let's collect Hiruko and continue on with this mission."
"Hiruko?" Kankuro asked.
"The mission?" Temari frowned.
"On second thought let's rest and reenergize ourselves," Sasori said, "we'll talk about the mission later, but for now I really want my puppet back."
As Sasori finished that it started to rain sand, "Gaara!" Sasori yelled.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yasomaru Sujin sat on his couch resting from his earlier confrontation with a bunch of sand shinobis, I was lucky they were unorganised, Sujin thought, otherwise Sasori would have easily killed me, still they're probably dead by now.
There came the sound of footsteps signifying the arrival of a messenger, "ah there you are Sujin sama," said a young woman with long grey hand and dressed in a blue kimono, "I have interesting news for you."
"What is it Ginsu?" Sujin asked smiling.
"It seems that that troublesome village that complained about the dam has hired a few sand shinobi," Ginsu said, "this is a perfect chance to test our skills."
Sujin smiled, "let them come, I met some sand shinobi today, and from my perspective they're weak."
"I understand," Ginsu smiled, "I'll relay it to the watchmen to let these sand nin come through unmolested.
"Thank you," Sujin said as he lay back into the pillow, sent as many as you want sand shinobi, I'll kill them all.
TBC……………………
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTRAS:
"Kazekage sama!" another messenger appeared jumping onto another window ledge, "the team from Konoha is here."
"Be careful!" the fourth yelled, "the window ledge…."
BAM! The messenger fell onto floor and fainted.
"Is also broken," the fourth finished lamely.
"Kazekage sama might I suggest placing a warning sign on all your window ledges?" Baki asked.
"Please do," the fourth said crying.
EXTRA2:
"Kazekage sama!" another messenger appeared jumping onto another window ledge, "the team from Konoha is here."
"Be careful!" the fourth yelled, "the window ledge…."
BAM! There was dust from unread paperwork everywhere.
"IS THIS THE OFFICE OF THE YOUTHFUL KAZEKAGE SAMA?" Gai yelled opening the door, "IT'S COUGH COUGH COUGH, HACK!" Gai immediately slammed the door close.
"Dusty," the fourth finished lamely when the dust cleared.
EXTRA3:
"Kazekage sama!" another messenger appeared jumping onto another window ledge, "the team from Konoha is here."
"Be careful!" the fourth yelled, "the window ledge…."
BOOM!
