Kakashi POVI hold my arms crossed in front of my face and waited for the punch. In that moment, I just thought of one person. I could just wonder, if it had been better, if I had spent more time with her. And I hated myself for this 'what if'. I should have just done something, so that I would not have to think that way. I should fight for my life, but since there was not much chakra left it was senseless. I would never see her again. Never."What the hell! Who are you?" Pain shouted.
I lowered my arms a bit in order to see what was going on. In front of me was a wall, which consisted only of sand. Now I was able to feel the chakra behind me. I turned around.
"Gaara?" I was surprised, "What are you doing here?"
He stepped forward and stopped beside me with his arms crossed in front of his chest -as always. He has not changed a bit since Chiyo had brought him back to life. Still as cool as ever.
"A spy of Suna reported to me three days ago, that Akatsuki were moving. And I decided to follow them and ended up in Konoha," he explained while he was holding the wall.
"What about your duties in Sunagakure? I mean you are the Kazekage", I said.
"Let's say...my brother is pleased to help me out."-In the meantime, in Suna-"I'll kill him when he returns!" Kankuro said covered in tones of documents in the office of the Kazekage.-"Where is Naruto?" Gaara asked.
"He is not in Konoha right now...I can't explain it now", I looked down at him.
"They mustn't get him otherwise they will have the strongest of the nine monsters", he whispered.
"I know."
We heard a movement behind the sand wall. I was in my defend position at once again, but Gaara didn't move a muscle.
"Thus you are indeed that kid we got the one-tailed beast from. You made it somehow back to life, huh?" Pain chuckled.
Gaara lowered his arms and looked at me.
"I will handle him. You have some other business to attend to, don't you?" He told me.
"You will not make it, Gaara. He is too strong."
"If I can't handle him, then I am not supposed to be Kazekage."
I thought of it for a second and then nodded, "You sure?"
He also nodded seriously.
"Good luck!" I whispered and turned around to follow Sasuke again.
Sakura POVDamn! Ino did not exaggerate! Karin was very strong...maybe too strong for me. My breath came heavily and shortly. I really was out of breath. But not my opponent. Karin stood in front of me and watched me.
"Already? I thought I could have a little more fun with you", she laughed.
Shit! If I could only make out her weakness! There must be something! I took a deep breath and thought of something while I have been watching her as well.
!
Of course! That is it!
"What? Are you laughing at me? If I were you, I would laugh at myself, Karin! It seems that you are not even strong enough to kill me otherwise, I would not be alive anymore. You are just as weak as me!" I said calmly.
Her laughing stopped. Now she stared at me with a devilish look. Okay. I got her.
"Come on! With just glaring at me you won't kill me," I provoked her.
"Watch your tongue, Sakura!" She shouted and ran towards me. I must act quickly. I took out a kunai and threw it at her. Just as I supposed she jumped to the right side as she did before too.
"Is this all you can?" She shouted again not noticing I had appeared behind her.
"Nope," I just said and, before she could react properly, I caught her glasses and got my distance to her back.
"What-! Give me back my glasses!" She screamed.
"I don't think so," I threw them to the ground and stepped on them. Of course she heard the noise.
"You bitch!"
As I thought, she could not see anything without them. Now it was my turn to fight back. I gathered all my chakra in my right fist and ran towards her. This had to end now. I punched her with all strength I had and she flew through each house, which got in her way. She would not get on her feet again the next few hours. I took a deep breath again and headed for the emergency station where all wounded ninjas were brought to. As I was on my way, I wondered how Kakashi was doing. I hoped he had been fine.
