Recap: Naruto and friends get into trouble while at Ba Sing Se of course. Naruto however destroys the drill which leads to him having a conflict with himself then Deidara, Akatsuchi, and Kurotsuchi gets hypnotized while Sasuke got stolen...there.
FYI: This is the last chapter in the earth probably the last appearance of Deidara:(But I'm adding new characters so don't worry.
Sasuke was locked up in a small and horrible room. He couldn't believe they took him in like this, he was getting ready to be brainwashed, according to this Long Feng guy. Suddenly the door opened and someone was thrown in, he was tied up in a rope and had familiar orange goggles on.
Obito was unfortunately thrown into a puddle and half his clothes were dripping wet with dirty sludge water. "Wait...Obito, why are you here?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh, well I was sent here on a mission to find Naruto, I have some great news for him. But as you can see I got caught by some creepy guy." Obito explained.
"What happened, what's the news?"
"That's pretty nosy."
"Just tell me Obito."
"Ok, the Akatsuki has ordered for Naruto's appearance there. I think there in a village where it always rain."
"Akatsuki...so the world finally accepted him?"
"No, not at all. Minato Namikaze sent me."
"Why?"
"I don't know but I couldn't refuse my role model."
"How did Minato know about this?"
"He's pretty secretive in what he does."
"Makes sense."
"Sasuke, could you help?" Obito asked, still trying to wiggle free out of the rope.
Sasuke went over and untied the rope Obito was in, he could've just asked for help in the first place. "Thanks Sasuke, you're not as smug as Naru-"
Suddenly someone broke through the door and it was not who you expected. "Is that you prince Zuko?" Obito asked, wiping the water off his lens.
"Yeah it's me."
"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked, he stood up and held his katana just in case.
"It doesn't matter, you're free so go."
Obito and Sasuke ran out of the room, not knowing that there was already a rescue team trying to find him...
Naruto...
Naruto was at Lake Laogai, but there was nothing but well a lake like the name suggested but Naruto thought it would be a factory of some sort. "I don't see any thing suspicious going on here." Naruto concluded, looking left and right, still good.
"No it was underground, yeah if I do this..." Akatsuchi said, he stomped on the ground and like he said, there was an underground entrance.
Everyone went into the entrance and saw what looked like some sorta underground maze, it was damp and dark there despite the eerie green laterns that hung up on the walls. Door after door it seemed endless.
"That direction, let's go!" Naruto instructed, pointing his finger in the first tunnel he saw.
"We should split up, it's foolish and troublesome to go in only one direction." Shikamaru argued.
"Yeah but what about power in numbers? If someone ambushes then it's good to have some back-up."
"Trust me Naruto, each and every one of us is capable of defending our selves one on one."
"Ok fine. We'll split up and go through the tunnels. Let's go!" Naruto re-instructed, he ran through the tunnel to the left along with Shikamaru, Rock Lee, and Kurotsuchi following behind.
Deidara, Choji, Tenten, and Akatsuchi went through the tunnel in the middle. With zero lead it was going to be hard to find Sasuke in this labyrinth.
Naruto went up to the first door and creaked it open, it was the sky bison the other avatar and his friends fighting the Dai Li agents. "That guy, which means that...we need to find Sasuke quick." Naruto announced, he peeked into the room to make sure that Sasuke wasn't in there.
"Why?" Shikamaru asked while again crossing his arms.
"In case you didn't know, Sasuke is a Uchiha with a bad rep to avatar #2. If they were to meet there would be no doubt a fight and then..."
"Ok ok, I understand where you're coming from."
Room after room Sasuke was nowhere to be found. It was crazy how many rooms are in this place anyways. It seemed like a lost cause but Naruto being Naruto wouldn't give up.
Naruto's foot splashed in another puddle, his shoe dampened. "This is the last room...damn, he isn't in this one either." Naruto sighed, he closed the door and walked back to the entrance, it was time to try another tunnel.
"Why is Sasuke so important?" Shikamaru finally asked, growing tired by running all this time.
"Sasuke is my friend, and I will never abandon a friend."
"With all this time wasted in rescuing Sasuke, you could've already learned water and air."
"What would be the point? How can I be an avatar if I can't even be with my closest friend, he's like a brother to me."
"Wake up Naruto. He's an Uchiha. There's no hope."
"Sasuke is my best friend who didn't judge me and expect too high of me because of my dad being the yellow flash. He was my friend because of me, not because of my dad. Losing him is not an option."
"You are the avatar, therefore you protect everyone at any cost. Sasuke is not. If he tries to kill others you must fulfill your job as the avatar."
"I don't wanna be an avatar that people will forget, I want to be the greatest avatar. One that will never let a friend die, that is my dream and that is my goal."
"You can't do that. It's impossible, give up and face reality."
"Why don't you just give up on making me give up. If you think that I'm anything less than a real avatar then so be it, someday I'll show you what a real friend is. That's the real reality." Naruto concluded, he was running now, running to find his friend Sasuke and nothing would stop him.
Deidara and his group...
Deidara, Akatsuchi, Tenten, and Choji were all running away from several Dai Li agents, normally Deidara would've threw some clay bombs but then the underground cave-maze could crumble down and kill them all.
All the weapons that Tenten were throwing were ineffective, these Dai Li agents really were élite. "This isn't working Deidara!" Tenten worriedly yelled while she dodged a shuriken.
"Ok, I didn't think we had to do this but someone needs to stay behind and use earth bending to immobilize them, hm." Deidara instructed, he was earth bending as many walls as he could to try to buy some time.
"Ok, I'll stay behind." Choji volunteered, he earth bended a giant hand and lifted them up into the air, obviously it wasn't going to hold them that long but it was worth a try.
"Now it's time to get serious, hm." Deidara said, he took off his Akatsuki cloak, revealing a mesh armor shirt under a dark green kimono with a gold trim. Around his waist was a hand-made utility belt that held his clay bombs.
(Wow, Deidara came from the upper-class, as if that makes sense.) Tenten thought to herself as she looked at Deidara's clothes.
"Wait, so you weren't serious the first hour we were here?!" Tenten yelled.
Deidara put his hands on the wall and tried to listen for any vibrations. This really surprised Akatsuchi, did he trust in Choji enough to buy them that much time? "Deidara it's gonna take too long."
"I have no choice." Deidara argued trying to concentrate hard to feel for any vibrations.
"...! 12 O' clock, there are four people along with a huge beast approaching in this direction."
"Do you think it could be the avatar and his toadies?" Akatsuchi asked, but not in a panicky tone.
"I don't know but if it is we have to leave this place, hm."
Back to Naruto...
(I thought I heard something, yeah it sorta sounds like someone punching a wall.) Naruto thought to himself as he opened another door, in a different tunnel.
Naruto looked in, there were three people. One was dead from the looks of it. Naruto closed the door. (what...what happened there?)
Suddenly there was a big crash, and it was coming from the tunnel that Deidara, Akatsuchi, Choji, and Tenten went through. Naruto punched the wall and hoped through along with the others.
"Sasuke, I'm coming." Naruto said to himself.
Now back to Deidara folks...
Deidara peered around the corner and saw Sasuke, along with some other guys he didn't recognize. (Good, all in three hours instead of three years.) Deidara thought to himself, he went around the corner and was immediately attacked.
Deidara dodged the blast of fire, he stomped then shifted his foot. A short column emerged. Deidara kicked and it shot at Zuko making him fall back. (this place is too small...)
Iroh helped Zuko back up. "You can't just attack people randomly like that nephew." Iroh looked up at Deidara. "I am sorry for the trouble we caused you."
"It doesn't matter," Deidara looked up Sasuke. "we found you. Let's go."
Suddenly the wall to the left of Deidara blasted out. Naruto jumped through. "Aha! The hero has arrived!"
"Oh it's you Naruto." Sasuke cut in.
"Yeah, who else could it be?"
"Don't you dare act all high and mighty, why are you here anyways?"
"Saving you, I thought you were suppose to be hypnotized and happy and all that crap." Naruto pointed out, not realizing that some one was behind them.
"So you know my secrets, that means we need to brainwash each and every one of you, now." A mysterious voice demanded.
Naruto jumped back. "It's you! You're that guy who did stuff to us!" Akatsuchi pointed out.
"Well you were all trying to disturb the peace of Ba Sing Se, this is the only way I could deal with you."
"You little rat." Naruto snarled, he stomped his foot and a rock cage surrounded him.
Suddenly several Dai Li agents came out of nowhere and grabbed Naruto's hands and feet with rock hands. The Dai Li agents then broke the rock cage and took Long Feng. That was the last time Naruto saw them.
Naruto broke free of the rock hands and tried to follow them but he was stopped by none other than Iroh. "Calm down Naruto, he's not worth it." Iroh calmly reassured, placing his hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Forget it, let's just go to the water tribe, I'm done with this place." Naruto grumbled, he then started walk out of the tunnel halls, forgetting that date.
Naruto jumped out of the tunnel. "Finally! Freedom!" The warm sun and slow winds greeted him making Naruto even happier.
Iroh and Zuko parted their ways while Appa just flew up in the sky, it was finally time to learn water bending and head to the northern water tribe. Obito started to walk off.
"Oh Obito, where are you going?" Naruto asked.
"Ah yes! I almost forgot to tell you this but the Akatsuki has requested for your appearance." Obito explained as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Ok but uh Obito, you're welcome to travel with us. I hear you've always wanted to go the northern water tribe."
"Sorry Naruto, I can't. With the prince and princess gone, things are pretty hectic also the fact that the solar eclipse is coming soon."
"Solar eclipse, no way I can't believe it."
"Well believe it Uzumaki."
"But Sasuke, c'mere." Obito gestured with his hand.
Sasuke walked over only to get thumped by Obito, exactly what Itachi used to do to Sasuke. "Forgive me, later I promise."
"Ow, why did you do that?!"
"Itachi told me to, anyways later bro'!" Obito said, he then disappeared in a cloud of fire.
"Ha! You fell for it." Naruto laughed, he hadn't seen anything like that since they were young and happier on that note
"Don't say another word Naruto."
"Ok, ok forgive me!"
"Naruto, you're dead."
Perfect timing. The other avatar and his friends jumped out of the underground maze, it didn't look like they were asking for a fight but just to be sure Deidara got battle ready.
(Damn it's them.) Naruto thought to himself, he walked over to talk to them face to face.
"Hey avatar #2, now can you teach me air bending?" Naruto asked, putting on a cutesy face.
"No."
"Please!"
"Are you here to fight me or something?"
"Nope."
Again, out of nowhere several Dai Li agents came and ambushed Aang and his friends. Naruto sighed. "Annoying little bastards." Naruto stomped the ground and the Dai Li agents flew into the lake.
Appa finally flew down and happily greeted Aang. Naruto sighed again. "Come on. Let's go home."
The sun set as Naruto and his friends all walked home. Tomorrow would be their last day in the earth kingdom...which sucked. Earth kingdom rocks.
The next day...
Everyone was back in the now fixed house, today was the last day they would spend in Ba Sing Se so they packed up their stuff. Naruto, Deidara, Sasuke, Akatsuchi, and Kurotsuchi walked out. It was another sunny day in the kingdom.
"Well let's go!" Naruto yawned.
"Uh...hello." A new advisor greeted, it turns out Naruto and his friends got some mail.
Despite them being basically all enemies of the earth kingdom, Shikamaru told the earth king personally that he saved the earth kingdom capital from the drill.
"So here are your letters, one for Naruto, Sasuke, Kurotsuchi, and umm you too earth bomber." The mail man said, handing each of them their letters. Akatsuchi sighed.
"Yeah I have a name you know, hm." Deidara grumbled, snatching the letter out of the uneasy mailman's hands.
Dear Deidara,
Get a life you bum.
Sincerely, Sasori of the red sand
P.S. Art is eternal, idiot.
"That bastard." Deidara hissed, he crumbled it up and threw on the newly paved city streets.
"Ok so what does mine say?" Kurotsuchi asked, opening the envelope.
Dear Kurotuschi,
You're almost 18 so you need to find a good man to get married to, not that Deidara guy.
Love, your big bro'
"There's not that many choices out there." Kurotsuchi sighed, she threw the letter in her new earth kingdom bag she bought a couple of days ago.
"Oh maybe mine is a love letter!" Naruto cheered as he ripped open the letter.
Dear Naruto Uzumaki,
After you have your chit-chat with the Akatsuki, come on down to my place. Since you are an avatar, I need to teach you the avatar state. Guru Pathik isn't the only one who knows.
Sincerely,
Jiraiya
the toad sage of the water tribe
(...who's Jiraiya?) Naruto thought to himself, as he put the letter in his pocket.
"I hope it isn't Itachi." Sasuke hoped, he ripped open his letter.
Dear Sasuke Uchiha,
I love you! I don't care if you're an emo, I still love you! Marry me please Sasuke! I love you! I love you! I love you! Don't get in any relationships with anyone else, you lovable emo.
Love, a thoughtful fan-girl
P.S. I live two houses down from Naruto's.
P.P.S. I just sent Itachi a box of rabid weasels since he is one!
P.P.P.S I will find you
"...what the hell was that?" Sasuke questioned, he threw the letter on the ground and walked off.
"He'll be back." Naruto assured.
No, Sasuke did not come back. Naruto, Deidara, Akatsuchi, and Kurotsuchi left Ba Sing Se finally. It was already sundown with a beautiful sunset. Before Naruto left on Yoshito he was greeted by familiar friends.
"Bushy brows?" Naruto asked, Rock Lee was standing there along with his sensei.
"Naruto, you have inspired me to travel the world. I would like to accompany you on your journey!"
"Yeah ok!"
"I'm Might guy, Rock Lee's sensei and I would recommend taking Rock Lee with you, so his power of youth will live on!" Guy yelled, putting out a thumbs up.
"Bushier-brows sensei, I already said ok."
"Avatar Uzumaki Naruto, let the power of youth in you never die out!"
"No worries!"
Shikamaru crossed his arms again. "You're alright Naruto. When you comeback I'll be the king's advisor from now on."
"Heh! I'll comeback for sure!"
Everyone boarded Yoshito and the dragon lifted off into the sunset, it would take only a day or so to get to the northern water tribe so it was good. "Bye guys!" Naruto yelled.
Shikamaru, Choji, and Tenten all waved good-bye to Naruto, but little did they know that Azula and her team had already successfully infiltrated Ba Sing Se. The fate of the earth kingdom was in bad hands.
The next day...
Naruto successfully landed Yoshito and finally they were at the northern water tribe...during a light snowfall thank goodness. "Goodbye, Naruto." Deidara said, as he, Kurotsuchi, and Akatsuchi started to walk off.
"Wait! Deidara!"
"Hm?"
"So um..." Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "never mind."
Deidada continued. "Wasting my time as always."
"...Wait Deidara!"
Deidara walked back to Naruto. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!"
"So are you a...you know..." Naruto did a curvy shape motion with his hands. "you know what I mean..."
"..." Deidara's face suddenly darkened, he took a clay bomb. At that note Naruto ran off once Naruto was far enough Deidara smirked.
"Heh. Fear is power."
Once Deidara completely vanished by the snow Naruto ran back. "He deserves the name bomber for sure."
"Deidara is gonna end up in prison." Sasuke sighed with a smirk on his face.
"So this is the water tribe." Rock Lee said to himself.
The bitter wind rushed past, freezing Naruto. "We need to buy a map...so where are we?" Naruto asked, since he was from the fire nation he wasn't used to all this cold.
"How are we suppose to know?" It was even worse for Sasuke, since he had short-sleeves on. But, he didn't show any signs of discomfort with the temperature.
"Go around and ask some people." Sasuke suggested, he then parted ways with Naruto to go and search for a blacksmith.
"He's just going to leave me here, ok then Rock Lee try to find some coats, I'll find a map."
Naruto walked through the snow, it was lucky they landed near the water tribe capital so it would be no doubt easy to find some resources. Before Naruto entered the capital he saw a girl being cornered by a guy holding a scythe. Naruto ran up and threw a kunai knife on fire and it surprisingly went straight through his heart, but he was still alive, laughing at his face.
"Freak!" Naruto yelled once he stood in front of the girl.
"That's Hidan to you and this girl has what I want." Hidan explained, gripping his scythe and creaking his neck.
"Why?!"
"For an organization called Kyūseishu."
"Why would you call it that?!"
"Because once Madara is revived, he will save this world idiot."
"I won't let that happen!"
"Let's just see."
Sasuke...
Sasuke was walking around the capital trying to find a blacksmith when all of a sudden he heard a scream. Sasuke ran out of the town, he saw that a girl was falling to her death, Sasuke ran over and caught just before she hit the ground. He laid her down.
Sasuke turned his head, another person was standing behind him. "You're that bounty hunter Kakuzu."
"Yeah I am." Kakuzu answered.
Sasuke pulled out his katana. "Let's see."
"Brat." Kakuzu shoot his arm at Sasuke...?
Sasuke cut the hair extensions with his katana. Next thing he knew four hair monster things with masks came out of his back. "A variation of plant bending I see." Sasuke said examining Kakuzu's movements.
"Good brat."
(cutting them won't work then and if I burn will it work?)
"...the...masks." The girl faintly whispered, she was still conscious but too weak so all she could do was watch.
One of the masked monsters shot a jet of water at Sasuke, Sasuke fire kicked the water making it go up in steam. This time a different masked monster shot steam back at him. Sasuke jumped back, he stuck his arm out and bended a blast of fire at the steam. The fire burned the mask and the hair monster dropped dead.
"Kakuzu, you're dead."
Sasuke electrically charged several kunai knife and threw them all at the masked monsters and each of them were destroyed. Sasuke shot a bolt of lightning right at Kakuzu's heart but it went straight through.
"When you're a waterbender you can do anything!" Kakuzu yelled.
Suddenly a person with an orange swirly mask appeared out of nowhere, with a giant flying sky bison. Which was hard to believe since I thought there was only one. The person dropped down a ladder rope.
"Who are you?" Sasuke asked, holding out his katana.
"My name is Madara Uchiha."
A/N: This chapter is pretty early but I might as well, water tribe is fun. Next chapter might be coming sooner too. To answer anyone's questions Kakashi is apart of the fire nation but I'm not sure when he'll make an actual appearance.
Fun fact: Clothing is pretty similar to what they have in Naruto but colors are mostly changed to fit their nation.
