Phantom of the leaf

Disclaimer I don't own Danny or Naruto

Greetings readers and welcome to chapter four of Phantom of the leaf

"What" Naruto shouted "we beat one of the best Jonins in the village and all we get is a lousy C RANK?"

At that comment Sakura hit him in the head "I'm sorry sensei we'll take whatever you think is a good mission"

Tsunade sighed this was going to be a long day when a ninja from the code breaker corps rushed in

"Lady Tsunade we've just decoded a message from the sand" the messenger said as he handed her a scroll Tsunade read the scroll and slammed her fist into the desk

"Shizune get Danny in here now team Kakashi you'll be going with him the Kazekage was kidnapped last night"

The reaction she got was immediate with Sakura and Kakashi looking shocked while Naruto looked angry enough to kill

"Who took Gaara" the blonde shinobi asked

"Akautski"

Naruto thought of Kisame and Itachi and it made his blood boil Naruto nodded his head and left the room with Sakura and Kakashi following him

"Lady Tsunade are you sure that's such a good idea you know akautski is after Naruto"

"I know Shizune but what other choice do we have"

At the gates of the village team Kakashi was waiting for Danny

"It's like Kakashi Sensei used some kind of tardiness jutsu on him"

"If that actually exists then keep it away from me when I get home my girlfriend would be pissed if I was always late" said Danny floating a few feet above the air in ghost form

"Well what are we waiting for let's go" said Naruto as team Kakashi and a flying Danny left the leaf village

Halfway to the land of wind they team Kakashi and Danny stopped for a rest

"Why are we stopping we have to go save Gaara" said Naruto

"Look Naruto the others don't have your freaky stamina I can't say I know any of you very well or this Gaara guy but we'll find him"

Danny was about to say more when he felt a powerful presence nearby he fired an ecto blast into a tree twenty feet from them and a sort of cute blonde girl wearing a black kimono and a giant fan on her back came landing down

"Okay who's the wise guy who blasted me out of a tree" said Temari as she had one hand on her fan ready for battle

Danny was ready with another attack when he noticed her headband "that's the insignia for the sand village so my bad" Danny apologized as he lowered his hand and reabsorbed the ecto energy

(I'm going to skip awkward introductions and show the Akautski now)

In a cave in the land of rivers Sasori and Pariah arrived with Gaara over his shoulder "bring them here already automaton"

"Will you shut up already" Sasori walked away from Pariah surrounding himself in chakra in a large explosion of smoke a humanoid statue on eight of its fingers a figure wearing black cloak with red clouds were standing one of them was Madara

"Report"

"The capture of the one tail Jinchuriki was successful master" said Pariah

"Very good now let us begin" Pariah and Sasori leaped onto the other fingers the ten Akautski then slammed their hands together

"Sealing arts ten phantom dragons" the ten voices said at once the statues mouth opened and a wave of chakra that surrounded Gaara red chakra came out of his mouth and poured into the statue

"It'll take three days to fully seal the one tail" said Madara

"It wouldn't take as long if Orochimaru didn't quit" Kisame complained "it's going to be a pain to stand up when were done"

"Will you shut up you annoying man fish focus on sealing Shukaku"

(Not anyone in canon version of akautski)

"Yeah Kisame my man don't complain or is the tailless tailed beast really just a big baby" said Deidara

"Silence" Madara yelled "the sooner the one tail is sealed the sooner our plans of universal domination can be achieved"

No one spoke after that and concentrated on removing Shukaku

(We now bring you back to the good guys)

Team Kakashi along with Danny and Temari were approaching the gates of the sand village which was surprisingly undamaged considering their leader was taken waiting at the gate was Baki

"Welcome leaf ninjas please follow me" said Baki as began running with team Kakashi and Danny following him

Something about this place is familiar I can't think about it now the sooner we find these Akautski guys the sooner I can kill Madara and get back to Sam Danny thought as before flying after them

The Hospital of the sand village was a disaster the medical ninjas were trying every possible antidote in they had but everything they tried only made it worse

It was so bad they even brought in their most renowned poison expert lady chiyo but even her skills were useless against Sasori's poison

"We've failed Karuha I failed to save you and now I failed to save your son" said a remorseful Chiyo

"It's not too late" said Sakura as she entered the room "what are their chakra natures"

"Child what do you think you can do against my grandsons poison" asked Chiyo

Sakura removed a scroll unrolling it revealing a kanji for water earth fire wind and lightning "my jutsu can purge the poison from their bodies but I need to know their chakra natures"

Chiyo sighed this girl couldn't possibly make this worse "they both have water nature chakra"

Sakura nodded forming the ram sign a vial of blue pills appeared where the kanji for water was she walked over to Kankuro and Matsuri's flailing bodies and put a pill into each of their mouths

"now comes the hard part" as Sakura began the long sequence of hand signs boar ox monkey dragon ram rooster tiger snake tiger monkey rat ox rooster ram monkey snake dog rat dragon tiger snake monkey ox rooster ram rat snake tiger boar dragon snake ram

"Secret jutsu bloodline restoration" Sakura sighed as the pills took effect their heart rates became stable and their hair became black

"What was that Jutsu" asked an amazed Chiyo

"A Jutsu I created to restore extinct Kekkei Genkai it purges the targets blood completely replacing it with the capsulized blood in the pills the drawback if the new blood comes from a person with a different chakra nature the side effects can be unpleasant now Kankuro and Matsuri are now members of the formerly extinct Yuhi clan" Sakura explained before re sealing the vial in her scroll

"Quite an impressive Jutsu probably shouldn't expect anything less from the slug queen's apprentice" said Chiyo with respect

"These two will be awake in a few minutes we can gain intelligence from the one who kidnapped the Kazekage then"

"I already know who he is" Sakura and Chiyo turned to see Danny in human form and to Sakura he looked as angry as Naruto on the way here

"Pariah Dark he's from my dimension and to put it simply if you see him run like hell"

Hearing that name Kankuro woke up and tried standing "He's right that guy is unnaturally strong he can bring back the dead as puppets with all of their powers from when they were alive me and Matsuri would have helped if he hadn't put up a barrier"

"it's a good thing you didn't you would have been killed whoever you fought at least has a tiny bit of humanity in him Pariah is a ruthless killer who shows no mercy and has a twisted sense of honor he will never refuse a challenge to fight"

"But that doesn't make sense when we attacked him and his partner Gaara was still alive" said Kankuro

"Is there any reason this Akautski would want Gaara alive" asked Danny

When Danny asked the question the old woman who from her brother he learned her name was Chiyo looked ashamed of herself as did the conscious person on the bed while Sakura simply looked terrified

"Yes Gaara has within him the Shukaku"

"Is that supposed to be some kind of meat platter?"

"No Shukaku is one of the tailed beast's giant living masses of chakra I sealed it into Gaara at birth and now the leader of village is in mortal peril"

If Danny was mad at the idea of Pariah kidnapping someone the idea of sealing giant demons into people sent him over the edge "are you people freaking insane you seal a monster into someone and you don't expect this to happen what the heck is wrong with you people"

"I was simply following orders most shinobi would lay down their lives for their homes and their brothers in arms would you not do the same"

The truth was Danny would and had put himself in danger to protect those he loved

"The only way to control the power of a tailed beast is to seal it into someone creating a jinchuriki I have done thousands of terrible in my life things I will never be able to repent for but I can at least say I did what I did to protect the village hidden in the sand and its people"

Danny transformed into his ghost form "I'm going to get your leader back and do what I have to do to get home because like you I have a home to protect and I want to say that I did everything in my power to protect it to do something worth being remembered for because when I die I won't see the pearly gates or the entrance to hell my soul will simply fade away like I was never here so with the time I have I'm going to use it to get home" Danny then flew through the wall going intangible to not cause damage

Danny was tracking the latent energy from Pariah now that he knew who it was he would hunt it down like a blood hound he was near the end of the desert when he heard Naruto calling him "wait up"

"Naruto how the hell did you catch up to me going Mach five"

"You've said it yourself I have freaky stamina will you get down here already your making my neck ache"

What is about this guy's smile it's like he radiates happiness when he isn't pissed as hell "all right I'm coming down" Danny landed

"look Danny we don't know each other that well but let's work together to save Gaara you get to go home and I can at least save one friend"

"All right we'll talk on the way" Danny and Naruto continued moving into the land of rivers "so any reason you said you want to save at least one friend" Danny asked as they moved through the trees

"I failed to save someone precious to me once I won't fail with Gaara he's been through"

"You're a jinchuriki aren't you?"

"Yeah I am I was alone most of my life but Gaara was alone a lot longer I'm going to help him no matter what"

Meanwhile in the Akautski hide out the sealing of Shukaku

"It seems that the nine tails jinchuriki and Daniel are coming for us"

"How do they know where we are?"

"Daniel has a sensing ability he will follow an energy trail to the ends of the earth"

"Master we have another problem it seems another group heading toward us from the leaf" said Pariah

"Damn it Kisame you handle the group from the leaf Itachi you handle Phantom and the Jinchuriki use only a quarter of chakra the rest will be needed to seal Shukaku"

Itachi and Kisame nodded and disappeared in a cloud of smoke

When Aang Katara and Toph had arrived they had been asked by Tsunade as back up in rescuing the Kazekage they were currently in a lifeless field filled with rocks

"How much farther twinkle toes I'm so bored"

Aang was ready to step in between an argument when a man who looked more like a fish then a person came out from behind a rock

"I'll relieve your boredom you'll have a good time before I kill you"

Toph cracked her knuckles "bring it on man fish"

Kisame smirked "this is going to be fun" Kisame formed hand signs "water style exploding water shock wave" from his mouth an ocean of water surged out Toph raised a pillar of earth Katara and Aang were able to stand on the water being master water benders

"He created all of this water with chakra" Aang said "I don't know if I should be impressed or terrified"

"I'd go with terrified" Kisame said as he unsheathed shark skin and charged

Meanwhile Naruto and Danny arrived in a forest clearing where waiting for them and

"Itachi Uchiha" Naruto growls out the name

"Uzumaki Naruto it's been a while"

"Naruto they're ten miles ahead of us go ahead I'll handle this guy"

"You sure"

"Yeah go ahead I'll catch up soon"

Surprisingly Naruto ran off to save Gaara while Danny stood facing Itachi

"I can tell from your energy that you aren't evil so why are you in Akautski"

"I chose loyalty to my village over loyalty to my clan"

Danny and Itachi charged at each other beginning their titanic battle
