The Boy Who Wanted Love
By: Enigma508

Hi guys, well today you guys are in store for a treat, battle chapter. I am going to skip the Sakura/Chiyo vs. Sasori fight, because I'm honestly too lazy to plus I don't feel like I can add anything. This Chapter will revolve around the Naruto/Kakashi/Hinata vs. Deidara fight.
BTW Check out KingKakashi's stories, I've personally really enjoyed them.

ON TO THE CHAPTER

Chapter 10: Art of Destruction

The bright light of the sun temporarily blinded those coming out of the cave and into a canyon with trees passing through left and right. Jumping from sideways trunk to sideways trunk; the leftovers of team 7 went over the battle strategy.

"Kakashi-sensei, neither of us can get close enough to him in order to get Gaara or ground him. Do you have any plans?" Hinata asked the question while not taking her eye off the plastique bird above them.

After a few minutes of deliberation, Kakashi got an idea, though it would be risky to his health and you leave him with about 10% of his chakra left.

"Naruto, Hinata, I am going to use a new Sharingan technique, it's extremely deadly but it will cost me a lot. But at this point it's this or nothing; I need you two to keep him distracted while I hang back and focus. Understood?"

He earned a "Hai!" from Hinata and a grunt Naruto. Kakashi then raised his hitai-ate revealing his Sharingan. Focusing his chakra to his eye, the three tomoe eye turned into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Using his eye, which his new level unlocked sometime after Sasuke's defection, he exuded chakra into one focal point in space.

As the silver hair jounin concentrated on Deidara's heart, Naruto and Hinata were pestering said explosives expert with kunai, shuriken and verbal jabs. "Hey asshole! If this is your version of art, you must have been hit upside the head too many times. I mean really, explosions? They're just crude flashes and pressure, there and gone in a millisecond. I mean, true art can be admired for centuries."

This got the blonde Akatsuki livid. Seething with rage he turned to his antagonizer from atop his clay bird. "Hmph, you are just a gaki who can't value expressions of passion in different forms. My art does last through the trials of time. Not in a physical sense like a statue or painting; no my art leaves an impression in the psyche of its beholder. SO FUCK YOU!"

Kakashi was grateful for Naruto's antics this one time they were strategically useful. His body triggered an alarm in his head, letting him know his technique was ready to be executed.

"Take this you bastard: Kamui!" When the jutsu was activated, something that looked like a small black hole opened behind Deidara, smack dead center of his spinal column. Time seemed to move in slow motion for the explosives expert.

'Shit this isn't good; I can't believe I let that prick distract me from the main attack. Well I either lose my body or my ride so gotta pull up quickly.' Deidara, after weighing his options, pulled up at the last possible moment.

The Kamui then sucked in the bird that Deidra was perched upon, just before his disappeared; Deidara took his prized shell of a jinjuriki and scooped him in his arms. Knowing he couldn't drop his bargaining chip, Deidara opted to apply chakra to his legs and take the hits on the way down.

After crashing through the foliage and trees, he skidded along the ground to a large field. Dusting himself off and stepping out of the crater, the explosives expert put down his cargo and reached into his side pouches. Before he could even get the thought off to conjure another clay bird; the blonde jinjuriki and his two companions landed in front of him.

"Take a step and I'll fucking kill you!" a demonic voice rung out from Naruto as he noticed the attempt to escape from Deidara.

Said missing nin raised his hands in surrender seeing he was out numbered. "Okay, kami! I know when not to be stupid. Now what do you want you fucking brat?" The cogs in the devious mind of Deidara started churning as he composed a plan to capture the jinjuriki standing in front of him.

As he was scheming a plan, Kakashi fell to his knees coughing some blood up. Naruto and Hinata turned to the silver haired jounin. "Kakashi-sensei are you okay?!" Naruto's voice was filled with dread and concern. The Sharingan wielder than eye-smiled while turning to his student…

"I'm fine Naruto; it's just the Kamui takes a lot out of me, opening a portal to another dimension while moving is not easy. I just need too… WATCH OUT!" As he turned his head, Naruto noticed an eggshell colored projectile heading towards them.

All three shinobi dodged it without flaw, Naruto skidded to his right, Kakashi to his right and Hinata back flipped. The wad of clay plastique then hit a tree behind the three and exploded, sending shrapnel in every direction.

Hinata seeing the shrapnel preformed the Hakkeshō Kaiten swirling around in a three-hundred sixty degree semi-sphere, she protected herself and her comrades.

"Arigato Hinata, now I'm in no condition to fight after my Kamui, so I need you two to distract Deidara and take him down, I will retrieve Gaara and make it to the extraction point. Got it?" Kakashi said getting to his feet.

Hinata nodded but Naruto looked sternly at his sensei, "Kakashi-sensei, take care of Gaara, I'm trusting you to protect him." Naruto face held much aggression in that moment but Kakashi saw the love Naruto had for his demon brother.

"You got it Naruto now go!" The smoke cleared and three blurs left it. Naruto used his incredible speed and got behind Deidara.

"What th-!" Deidara was flabbergasted with the boy's speed as he was clocked in the back of the head and sent flying towards Hinata who dropped into her Jyuuken stance. She then cried out "Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!"(Eight Trigrams: Sixty-four palms!)

The kunoichi's fingertips barraged the defenseless target it Jyuuken strikes, closing off chakra points with each hit. In a matter of seconds Hinata reached the final strike, rearing her palm back she sent forward with high velocity straight at the heart. When her palm reached its target, the two combatants were shocked.

Hinata's palm was lodged in their enemy's chest but instead of blood, clay chips were dispersed after the hit. "A nendo bunshin?!" Both Naruto and Hinata asked at once, complete confused. The clay heap then fell to the ground. Luckily this little stunt bought Kakashi enough time to scoop up Gaara and shunshined away by the time Hinata started her attack.

The now two man team stood back to back, Naruto in his kitsune-style taijutsu and Hinata in her Jyuuken stance. The two then turned their heads to the sound of a small chuckle. There in the tree, stood Deidara.

"I got to hand it to you gakis, you speed and power exceeded my expectations." Deidara stood on a branch; a smirk on his face. "It worked well enough to let the copycat leave with my bounty but oh well, now I have a new Jinjuriki to toy with."

Naruto now understood that in the small window between after his punch and him arriving at Hinata's Jyuuken strikes; Deidara must have bulled off that Bunshin technique. "Well glad we can live up to Akatsuki expectation. Now surrender before I have to kick your ass!" Naruto dropped into his kitsune- taijutsu stance once more, sending off a wave of killing intent.

"Hah, you're pathetic gaki. There's no way someone like you can defeat my art. But don't worry Kyuubi-brat soon enough you can join your friend in the land of the dead. It's a shame your comrade took my favorite companion, at least he didn't talk."

Deidara knew he struck a nerve insulting Gaara from the ten-fold increase of killing intent. "You fucking bastard, I'm going to take those precious hands of yours and shove up your fucking ass!" Naruto was now on all fours letting one tail of chakra be released. But now there was new voice on the battlefield that only Naruto could hear.

"Hey kit, Shukaku and I may not have been friends, but no one insults one of my brethren and lives; tear him a new asshole kit!" Kurama was thoroughly pissed and rearing for a fight. Naruto just mentally nodded to his bijuu and went on the offensive.

"Naruto-kun, matte (wait)!" Hinata's plea fell on deaf ears as Naruto was already bolting towards his antagonizer. Deidara simply smirked as he knew that his opponent was now pissed and predictable with his moves.

The explosive Akatsuki dodged and side-stepped all of Naruto's attacks. Back flipping onto a branch, Deidara put his mouth hands into his pouches. As the orifices chewed the clay he continued dodging. Finally ready to unleash the technique Deidara shouted, "Ninpo: Tajuu C1!"(Ninja art: Multi- C1)

As the black clad nin put his hands out towards his attacker, tens of explosive plastique birds flew at Naruto. Said jinjuriki put a halt his attack and retreated. In mid jump he noticed the birds getting closer, turning and putting chakra into his lungs along with put his hands in a tiger hand-sign; Naruto called out "Katon: Akuma no hi no nagare!"(Fire style: Demon fire stream!)

As the nine tailed jinjuriki exhaled; a stream of white hot fire shot towards the clay birds. Smirking as the smoke cleared; Naruto noticed that his idea worked. 'Ha that clay has to have some sort of water in it. So apply enough heat to the clay, it turns to brittle stone; nullifying his birds, thanks Kurama for the heat.'

'Hmph' Kurama acknowledged the praise. As Naruto swiveled his head back towards the field where he was going to regroup with Hinata he was greeted with a pressure wave to his back. A dozen birds Deidara sent to flank the boy did their job as a contingency plan. The blast launched Naruto forward.

Hinata stood in the field using her Byakugan to analyze Deidara's movements, when she saw Naruto fly in her direction from the C1 blast. "Naruto-kun!" Hinata cried out in worry. She rushed over to his body as she checked him over. His clothes were torn and some dried blood accumulated on his lip but other than that his small cuts and bruises were healed by Kurama, much to Hinata's relief.

Due to his impact with the ground Naruto was knocked unconscious. Hinata knew Naruto would only be out for a little while, but for now, she had to focus on Deidara until Naruto regained his senses.

"Well now that he's dealt with for the moment, time to have some fun with you. I don't think I'll kill you either, you can bring me some pleasure." Deidara licked his lips in a sick fashion, which infuriated Hinata. But unlike her blonde knucklehead, Hinata kept her temper in check.

"Try anything and I'll personally make sure your 'stick of dynamite' is turned into a sparkler!" Hinata's threat made Deidara gulp and cringe at the thought of the girl making him impotent. Straightening himself up, Deidara reached into his pouch again.

"Hmph I like a girl with pep. Now taste this, "Tajuu C1!" Once again numerous birds shot from Deidara's hands and towards his target. Hinata blared her Byakugan and dropped into her Jyuuken stance. She knew her ace in the hole would nullify the C1 and shock Deidara.

As the plastique birds came within ten meters of Hinata, the indigo princess called out, "Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō!"(Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms) Hinata's hands blurred as she swept her appendages in elegant arcs, leaving visible chakra lines all around her. Each arc took to a bird flying at her; as her hand touched the bird, she pushed a small portion of her chakra into the figurine, nullifying Deidara's chakra in the bird; this technique safely deactivated each bird.

Deidara was amazed at the light show going on in front of him. The elegancy and flow to the girl's movements mesmerized the man. Shaking his head, he saw the girl left all of his creations at her feet.

"Wow, I guess you're just beauty, since you only knocked down my birds. Well now I'll give the gift of the century; to become one of my works of art, KAI!" As he shouted with a half ram seal, he waited for the bang.

That bang never came, leaving him in utter shock. "What the fuck did you do to my art you little bitch!?" Deidara was angered that his art was now rendered to nothing more than paperweights.

"Well teme, I simply substituted my chakra into your creations, nullifying them and making them ugly lawn ornaments. I guess this beauty has some brains." Hinata was smug and confident as she knew she had the Akatsuki member squirming at her jabs.

"It seems I have to step up my attacks for you, Hyuuga." Deidara then reached into his pouch and flung little clay creatures at Hinata. "Bakuhatsu kureiminion!" (Explosive Clay Minions)

Hinata easily dispatched the disfigured clay creatures that waddled towards her. As the minions were dispatched with haste Deidara was struggling to keep up his onslaught. After minutes of minion dispatching; Hinata dashed at Deidara.

The battle was heavy and hard hitting; Naruto woke up to the sound of slicing and piercing. As he rubbed his temples he glanced up from his position on his back. He saw his fiancé battling clay monsters with grace, striking them down with her Jyuuken strikes. After the last one was slain he saw her advance at their enemy. His eyes grew wide as Hinata shouted, "Piasusutoraiki" (Piercing Strike) "Hinata-chan NOOOOOO!"

Hinata reared her hand back and focused her chakra to make a double sided chakra scalpel. This paired with her Jyuuken strike, allowed her to create the 'Piasusutoraiki' which could pierce any metal or mesh armor as well as tear flesh like rice paper.

But at her hand struck her target and sailed through it she heard a voice behind her, "Hinata-chan NOOOOOO!" She recognized Naruto's voice as well as his reason for concern. She gazed down in horror at her wrist encased in clay.

"Hahaha, you dumb bitch, you fell for my trap twice. You once again struck my 'nendo bunshin' but this time you're not getting away." Hinata snapped her head to see Deidara standing on a distant branch with his hand in a half ram seal. She furiously tried to pull her hand from the clone but failed miserably. And before she could funnel chakra through her wrist's chakra point she heard an all too familiar shout.

"KAI!"

The clone glowed with a bright shine before expanding slightly and exploding. A shriek could be heard as Hinata flew through the air with a lot a force. Luckily due to the chakra encasing her wrist, while she tried to nullify the clone, she was able to keep her hand but her whole wrist was now shattered.

As she flew through the air, Hinata had a moment of clarity, she knew Naruto was back up and would defeat Deidara. She knew that Gaara was safe with Kakashi and was at a safe distance away from the battle. She was confident in Sakura and Chiyo to defeat Sasori. And she was thankful her hand wasn't gone. As she was about to breath in, she was hit by a brunt force behind her followed by a searing pain.

Hinata's breath became hitched and shaky as she slowly looked down to see a wooden spike protruding from her chest. She touched the protrusion which jutted out a good six inches from her body. She raised her trembling hand to eye level to see it covered in warm crimson liquid; blood, her blood. The shock set in as she shrieked again and vomited up the contents of her stomach as well as the blood that now filled her lungs.

Her body shook now at the agonizing pain that coursed through her pain. She stepped forward, coughing up more blood with each step. Once the foreign branch vacated her body; Hinata lurched forward and collapsed face first. A small crimson pool formed around her left chest as she lay motionless.

Instantly Naruto made a clone and sent it to check Hinata's pulse. The clone reached its index and middle fingers to Hinata's carotid artery to check for a pulse. After a few seconds, the clone looked up and looked at its master. The original looked to his clone for answer, the clone's visage looked grim as it shook left and right and bluntly said, "Hinata-chan is, is dead."

Naruto dispersed the clone and fell to his knees defeated. Bitter tears streaked down his chin, as he hung his head in shame. The very girl who greeted him after his suicide attempt, the very one who loved him, his fiancé, his eternal love, was now lying cold and dead on the ground because he couldn't save her.

As his target was kneeling on the ground sobbing, Deidara took the opportunity to capitalize and go in for the knock out. Shunshining behind Naruto, Deidara cocked his fist back and stuck it forward. In slow motion, a chakra tail intercepted the fist. Deidara sweated as his fist was not released, instead the red chakra tail held it firmly.

A burning feeling coursed through Deidara's left arm. Deidara screamed as he realized he was in trouble. Deidara shoved his right hand into his pouch, pulled out all his detonation clay and ate it. Once swallowed Deidara announced, "Well fucker, I was planning to use this masterpiece to end Itachi and get revenge on him, but this circumstance call for my ultimate art, Ninpo C…" Deidara was cut short when a second chakra hand gripped he right hand before he could make a sign.

Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes and stood. Deidara struggled to break free and attempted to kick Naruto in the back of the skull to get him to release his grip. This action made Deidara's situation worse as two more chakra tails grabbed both of his legs. The explosive blonde was now at the mercy of the very jinjuriki he was hunting.

Naruto turned to his captured prey and let him see his face. Naruto's usual peppy and carefree visage was gone, it was now replaced by a face layered in pain, hatred and unadulterated fury. Then a low voice that sounded of Naruto and Kurama mixed together rung out in a dull roar.

"You, you vile scum. Not only do you kill the only person who's ever been like a brother to me by draining his bijuu; but you murder my mate! For the sins you have committed today and in the past, you shall be judged and punished; by me!" Naruto finished his rant and before he could tell his judgment to his captive he was interrupted.

"Fuck you; I still can kill us both and anything with 10 kilometers! Ninpo C0!" Deidara's overcoat suddenly ripped open to reveal his fourth mouth which resided directly over his heart. Naruto was completely unfazed by his threat to suicide bomb a 10 kilometer radius. Rather he gave a sickening smirk as the mouth started to unstitch. "NOW DIE!"

Deidara shouted but immediately felt an immense pain in his abdomen. Looking down he saw a black and red chakra coated fist in his gut. Naruto yanked out Deidara's stomach, causing much blood to fly from the open wound.

"Need this fucker!?" Naruto held the stomach in front of Deidara's eyes. All of the clay Deidara just swallowed was in that stomach and Deidara could just look on and shout threats and curses. Ginning, Naruto crushed the organ in front of the body that it once resided in.

"Now, I will make you suffer. Now this will not scratch the surface of your punishment for your sins; but your mortal body can only take so much. Any last words fucker?" receiving no answer a four tailed Naruto began his torture.

First, Naruto took out a kunai "This is for insulting my hime's intelligence!" The kunai slashed across Deidara's face, creating a scar from ear to ear. Sticking the kunai into Deidara's leg; Naruto put his elongated claws to the scar and applied demonic chakra to the wound.

"This is a demon gift, in retaliation for your attack on Gaara!" As demonic chakra pumped into Deidara's body, fire coursed through his veins and his body wouldn't go unconscious.

"Since I promised this to you, and I never go back on a promise…" Naruto then used his chakra limps to tear off both of Deidara's hands and shoved them up a certain orifice, much to the dismay of Deidara; who once again screamed out in agony.

"Well I see no reason to prolong this any farther, I only hope the Shinigami has some fun with you. Burn in hell with your fucking art!" At this Naruto decapitated Deidara with a swift tug of his hands.

Done with his toy, Naruto dropped the corpse and head. Falling to his knees, Naruto reverted back to his no-tail state. Pulling out a sealing scroll from his back pouch, Naruto sealed the head and incinerated the body. After his primary and secondary parameters of his mission were done, he turned to his final task.

Walking to the corpse of Hinata, he knelt down and bawled out his eyes for a good five minutes. After running out of tears, Naruto looked upon Hinata's visage and saw her face at peace. He kissed her forehead and picked her up, bridal style. 'Well I guess the only thing left to do is have Sakura-san pronounce her dead.'

Steeling himself Naruto sped off towards the rendezvous point where several Suna shinobi were present. The crowd seeing Naruto and his cargo, made a route for him to see his comrades. Naruto stepped into the middle of the crowd to see Kakashi, Sakura, Chiyo and Temari huddled over the shell of Gaara. Temari was in hysterics and was being comforted by her brother and Matsuri, Gaara's girlfriend.

"Naruto-kun, hey your back… OH MY GOD HINATA!" Sakura cried out seeing her fellow Kunoichi and her condition. "I, is she…" Sakura looked up, tears in her eyes hoping for Naruto to say she's unconscious.

Naruto didn't say one word as he gently put Hinata down next to Gaara and looked back to his pink haired teammate and shook his head.

"Hinata-chan is dead." Naruto coldly said. "I brought her here, to a medic so she can be confirmed dead for the records. Sakura instantly fell to her knees and bawled for her fallen shinobi.

Chiyo stepped towards the child and knelt beside her. "Naruto-san, she is your most precious person, correct?" Naruto turned around at the old woman and put his head down.

"She was my fiancé and the love of my life; the future mother to our children and the matriarch of the Namikaze clan, but now; now she's dead. Thanks for the reminder." Naruto said, his voice dripping with bitterness.

Chiyo then got a grim look on her face as she turned to the blonde boy once more. "Naruto, I can save Hinata, I will need your strength to help me."

To say Naruto was astounded and hurt would be an understatement. "H-how can you save the dead; she has no pulse, no chakra, nothing! Stop taunting me you senile bitch!" Naruto was hurt and Chiyo realized why the boy was so angry.

"Boy I've been a medic as long as your Hokage has, and I've learned a few kinjustu (forbidden jutsu) along that journey. One such jutsu is the 'Kishō Tensei' (one's own life Reincarnation jutsu). With it I can transfer my life force into the girl's but at the cost of my own life. But after fighting Sasori, I've used up so much of my chakra. That's where you come in, I need your immense chakra reserves to help me restart Hinata's heart and Chakra coils. Will you help?"

Naruto immediately knelt down across from Chiyo and looked her dead in the eye and said two words. "Thank you." The legendary puppet medic casted the jutsu and placed her palms over Hinata's chest. Naruto called upon his chakra reserves and funneled it into Chiyo's chakra stream into Hinata.

After minutes of tense silence, the pregnant pause was broken by Chiyo. "It's done. The girl shall liv…" Chiyo smiled as she collapsed onto her side. Immediately Sakura rushed to her side ran a diagnostics of her body.

"Chiyo-sama is dead." Sakura solemnly said to the crowd around her. Naruto kissed Hinata's forehead once more and saw her eyes flutter open.

"N-Naruto-kun? What happened?" Hinata tried to sit up but a stabbing pain in her chest restricted her from doing so.

"Hush Hinata I'll explain everything to you at the hospital, for now rest please." Hinata nodded as she faded to unconsciousness. A medical team put Hinata on a stretcher and proceeded to the hospital, accompanied by one of Naruto's clones.

Naruto then turned to see his best friend and, brother-like figure's shell on the ground. He put his forehead on Gaara's chest and cried. No tears came out but wailing did happen.

Naruto then heard his tenant's voice, "Kit, listen up now! Shukaku's still alive, but he's grasping at straws here. I need you to put your palm on Gaara's seal on his forehead and channel one tail of chakra into his body. Shukaku, once rejuvenated, will resuscitate Gaara back to the land of the living through his Bijuu chakra. DO IT NOW KIT!"

Naruto did as he was told and put his palm to Gaara's seal on his forehead, with the Kanji for 'love'. Everyone was confused at Naruto's action but that was nothing compared to the confusion when Naruto suddenly was exuding mass amounts of Chakra. No one dared to get near him or talk for that matter; they just let the boy do what he was doing.

After another ten minutes, every waited with bated breath as Naruto released his grip on Gaara's seal. The Kazekage's eyes flutter open and his head tilted right.

"Naruto?"

AND CUT…

HOLY SHIT GAARA ARC IS DONE, NEXT COMES A VERY SPECIAL SURPRISE.
