"alright kakashi leave the seals to us, team guy can handle it" guy told kakashi and turned to his team "ok lets move out team" guy said as he jumped up into the tree line in the direction of one of the seals.

Vegeta stood with naruto and kakashi and noticed naruto was angry about something and was itching for a fight it seems. Kakashi jumped up on the rock by the tag waiting for the word to rip it off. It was not long until everyone could hear sound coming from kakashi's headpiece. Kakashi responded to the noise with "yes, alright everyone on three we tear them off 1...2...3!" kakashi said as the sharp rip of the tag as it was quickly pulled off the rock. Kakashi then jumped down to naruto, vegeta, lady chiyo and sakura. When he landed kakashi's ear piece spoke "kakashi you may have to handle the rest from here, it looks like those tags were rigged with a jutsu" guy's voice said in the earpiece.

"alright, be careful guy" kakashi spoke to the headpiece. "alright everyone we need to get that boulder out of the way now that it isn't protected by a barrier" kakashi told the rest. Everyone was looking at it and then sakura stepped forward "I can break it sensei, everyone get ready" sakura said to everyone as she prepared to hit the boulder. Kakashi spoke up after "everyone be ready, as soon as that boulder goes down we go in and be ready for a fight, we must rescue gaara at all cost" kakashi said to the rest. Vegeta could care less about the sand kage, he is just wanting to get his hands on the akatsuki. Naruto was determined to save gaara even if it cost him his life.

Sakura rushed forward and struck the boulder with a chakra enforced punch that seemed to shatter the boulder. as soon as it was down the team rushed in and stood on each side of the entrance to the cave. But as they entered the cave everyone except vegeta had a surprised look on their face 'we're too late' kakashi thought to himself. standing in the cave were two akatsuki members and one was sitting on what look's to be gaara's body.

Naruto looked to be visibly start to get more and more angry as he looked at the blonde akatsuki sitting on Gaara. The blonde akatsuki spoke "well finally, so...which one of you is the jinchuriki?" deidara asked the group in front of him very calmly. "you bastards! Where do you think you're sitting!" naruto yelled furiously at deidara. Sasori looked at naruto and noticed that his eyes changed from blue to red as he yelled "I believe that he is the jinchuriki" sasori told deidara in his raspy voice. Deidara noticed it too "sasori my man, I think you're right" deidara responded.

Naruto simply raised his voice "gaara come on get up what are you doing!?" naruto yelled at what was left of gaara. He was about to continue until kakashi yelled "enough naruto! You know full well that..." kakashi stopped as naruto just stared at the akatsuki. Deidara spoke "your friend is right you know it too, he's been dead for a while now" deidara said as he reached down and smacked gaara's face with the back of his hand. That just made naruto even more furious.

Vegeta was watching and was still a bit angry, mostly because these are not the same people that he just fought. No they are new and he could not get payback. Naruto was simply fuming with anger and started to charge them yelling "give gaara back you bastards!" naruto shouted. But he could not run to them because vegeta pulled him back "use your head idiot! They want you to attack, just stay here!" vegeta yelled as naruto was pulled back next to vegeta.

Sasori looked toward gaara's body "what? Something on your mind sasori my man?" deidara said as sasori looked his way. "i'll hold onto him" deidara looked confused "I'll hold onto him because it appears as though the jinchuriki will stop at nothing to get him back" sasori told deidara. Deidara looked towards gaara's face "hm yea that's putting it lightly" deidara replied as he slouched and put his remaining arm on his knee.

No one but naruto has moved and lady chiyo has been watching sasori and seeing what has become of him. Kakashi started looking at them closely 'so the guy on the left is the one who infiltrated the sand and kidnapped lord kazekage' he looked at sasori 'and this one is the puppet master who wounded kankuro so badly, lady chiyo's grandson sasori' kakashi thought to himself.

Deidara started to talk "well my man, I doubt that you wanna hear this but I'll just go and say it anyway, I think I'll take care of the jinchuriki heh" deidara chuckled. Sasori looked at deidara "look our quota is one a piece, don't push your luck deidara" sasori told deidara in a slightly irritated voice. Deidara spoke up "A artist must always seek ever greater stimulation, lest his senses go dull on him eh my man...rumor has it the nine tails jinchuriki is pretty powerful...a canvas truly worthy of my art" deidara said to sasori. But sasori simply felt annoyed "What? You call that technique you use "art" art is a work of beauty, captured and left for posterity, art is eternal beauty" sasori told deidara.

Deidara simply looked at sasori "eternal beauty? Are you kidding me, look don't get me wrong as a fellow artist I respect your point of view, but true art is a flash of beauty burning brightly and then vanishing in a heartbeat" deidara replied to sasori. Sasori looked at deidara "what did you say!" sasori said in annoyance.

While this whole conversation is happening vegeta was getting more and more angry because they were not paying attention to anything but their stupid conversation. But it was naruto that spoke up and got sick and tired of not doing anything and pulled out a scroll and made a giant shuriken and threw it at sasori. But without looking or even flinching sasori's tail knocked it out of the way. "are you trying to make me angry deidara!" sasori said to deidara, who replied "hey easy, I told ya you didn't wanna hear it didn't I, gimme a break will ya" deidara said to sasori.

Everyone was surprised that sasori didn't need to even try to knock it out of the way. "I don't have to remind you what happens when I get angry do I, why don't you explain it to me again deidara" sasori said as he pointed his poison tipped tail at deidara. Deidara stood up and got off gaara's body. "art is one thing and one thing only" deidara said as he looked at his mouth hand and it spit out a bit of clay and he started to mold it "the explosion itself" deidara said as he threw the clay and it turned into a giant bird with a large mouth. "it's not even in the same league as your grotesque puppet show" he said as the bird picked up gaara's body in its mouth and deidara jumped on top of the bird. "see you around my man" deidara said as he started to fly out of the cave.

Naruto looked up toward him and wanted nothing except to beat the hell out of deidara and get gaara back, so naruto turned and followed him out of the cave "just where the hell do you think you're going!" naruto yelled up at him. Deidara smiled "perfect" he said to himself as he watched the nine tails brat follow him.

Kakashi turned toward the entrance and started to run after naruto "Naruto!" kakashi tried to say to naruto but stopped at the entrance and turned to sakura, lady chiyo and vegeta "me and naruto will handle the one outside, sakura, lady chiyo and vegeta you all take that one" kakashi said to them. Vegeta simply scoffed and said "don't go ordering me around fool" vegeta said back to kakashi. But kakashi was more concerned with naruto at the moment and just ran after him.

Now it's just sasori and the others "hmm the way I heard it, you retired quite some time ago" sasori said referring to lady chiyo. "I simply wanted to see the face of my grandson again" lady chiyo replied to sasori. "sasori is a puppet user and is possibly the most skilled one in the world" chiyo informed vegeta and sakura. Vegeta simply smirked.

Sasori turned his attention to vegeta "so you're the saiyan I've heard so much about, you sure don't look like much" sasori said to vegeta. Vegeta simply walked forward.

"this coming from someone who plays with puppets" vegeta replied as he got into his fighting stance.

Sasori chuckled "you are going to be a great piece to my collection" sasori told vegeta in his raspy voice and as the four of them were about to begin their fight.
