A/N: They are still on their way back to Konoha and Gaara acts more like Naruto normally does.
Chapter 12
Meeting The Akatsuki
"No!" Sasuke snapped at Sakura, "I don't cry! EVER!"
Sakura backed away from the angry Sasuke, very frightened, slowly loosing her love for him. "OK, Sasuke, you don't cry." Her voice was coming down to a whisper.
- Kakashi and Gaara.
Kakashi and Gaara were far enough away that they couldn't hear them.
"OK, Naruto. Naruto! Are you listening to me?"
"..."
"Naruto!" Kakashi said, while shaking his shoulder, "Listen! I'm trying to teach you a new jutsu!"
Gaara snapped to attention, "Did you say a new jutsu?" He was jumping around, very hyper now.
"Yes." 'Holy shit! Did Naruto change after being hit with the kunai, again?'
"Show it to me now!"
"OK. But calm down!"
Gaara instantly sat down and got silent.
"Good. This jutsu is called the wind natured sword-slash."
"SWEET!" Gaara yelled, so loud that Sasuke and Sakura stopped yelling for a moment.
"Yes, Naruto, sweet."
-Sasuke and Sakura
"Sasuke! Will you not open up to the people who care about you?"
"Who said I cared about you, Sakura?"
Sakura was greatly taken aback.
"Sasuke!" She whispered, "Have you always been so cold-hearted?" Sakura was sulking now.
"Sakura..."
"Answer my question!" She yelled.
"No. I haven't!"
-Kakashi and Naruto
"Wind natured sword slash?"
"Yep!" And Kakashi pulled out a sword. "This sword is unbreakable." He said, with a covered grin but Gaara knew he was grinning.
"OK! How does it work?"
"You channel your energy into this blade, and it becomes a wind blade. By doing this, you can make powerful winds to use against your opponents."
"OK!" Good thing I have wind natured energy!' Gaara thought.
Gaara channeled his energy into the sword. He then swung it, and with the massive amount of energy he knocked Kakashi back 150 feet.
"Wow, Naruto!" Kakashi yelled as he got closer, "You learned that really fast! I thought we'd have to spend at least a week on that jutsu!"
"Hm..." Replied Gaara.
"Sasuke, Sakura." Kakashi called.
"Yea?"
"Time to move on."
"OK!"
"Sasuke!" Sakura said in a loud whisper, "Why do you want everything you can't have?"
"Because..." He trailed off into thought.
"Because...?"
"Because I need power to beat my brother!" Sasuke snapped.
Sakura stopped in her tracks, tears had started falling from her face. "Sasuke! I hate you!" She yelled at him, but ironically threw her arms around his body.
"I thought you said you hated him." Kakashi broke the silence.
"I do. But I don't want Sasuke to leave me." Sakura was being stubborn...again.
"STOP!" Gaara startled them. "Someone's coming! They have high energy levels."
"Which direction?"
"Left and right, there's 2 of them."
Soon 2 men in black cloaks with red clouds on them appeared. They had hats with cloth hanging down so their faces didn't show. The taller of the two had a bandaged up sword on his back. Both had purple nail polish on.
'They must be with them, Akatsuki!' Thought Kakashi.
"We're here for the blonde."
'Shit! They're with akasuki!' "Naruto! Stay back!"
"No way! I'm going to use the jutsu Gaara taught me!"
"Haha, good joke!" Sasuke taunted.
"Want to be the experiment?" Gaara asked with evil in his eyes.
"N-no th-thanks." Sasuke stumbled.
The sword was coming at his head; Gaara dodged it, then he whipped out his hand, pointed it at the ninja who tried to hurt him, but found he couldn't move.
"That was too easy! Hehehe. Now what were you about to do, Gaara?"
Gaara knew no one else could hear because he and this man were in a genjutsu.
"We'll...?"
"Introduce yourself first!"
"OK. My name is Itachi."
"Sasuke's brother?"
"Yes, Sasuke's brother."
"The one who killed the clan?"
"Yes, now stop asking questions and answer my question."
"Could you repeat it?"
"Fine. I asked, what were you about to do to my partner, Gaara?"
"Kill him. What else?"
Itachi was calm. "Well, you're coming with us, and you are completely helpless."
With Naruto as Gaara.
"Gaara-sama!" called the guard, "There are men coming, they have black cloaks with red clouds on them."
'Shit!' he thought, 'That is Akatsuki! Just what I need!' "Double the guards! They're here for me!"
"Yes sir!" and he ran out of the room.
'Crap! I need to think fast!, they're here for the fox, but if they take it I'll die!'
*BOOM*
Naruto shot out of his thought's.
*BOOM*
The door shot open, and two men with black cloaks and red clouds walked in.
"H-how did you get in, past the guards?" Asked a baffled Naruto.
"What guards?" The short Akatsuki member asked.
"What do you mean?"
"They were all dead. Now I strongly suggest that you come with us."
"Never!" Naruto took the chance to attack the taller guy, who dodged.
A/N: I am so evil. I'm going to tell you what happens next chapter, so if you want to know, you have to wait. The Wind natured sword slash was kind of lame, wasn't it? I couldn't think of any thing else to call it. Constructive criticism, please. Bye!
