I just feel like asking if anyone went to watch "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio at the cinema. I did with my 'sister from another mister' BF and not only was it quite epic, the soundtrack was just banging! Like it was so awesome. Search it out on youtube. (nods) Feel free to comment.
Okay all, here's the next chapter of Another Chance. I know I've been taking ages, but I wanted to get a few chapters ahead, I got writers block, life happened. All sorts of things. But I do hope that everyone enjoys this chapter. Replies to anonymous (guest) reviewers are below.
RedKama: If this fic sucks, why did you review exactly? And why keep reading for nine chapters just to tell me you think it sucks? BTW if you're gonna say something sucks, at least give a reason why. Your personal dislike doesn't count, just for reference, because not liking something doesn't mean it sucks, it means you don't like it. Other people like this story, so therefore personal dislike means it doesn't suck.
SparklyButterfly42: Thanks so much for reviewing. I'm not sure whether or not I feel sorry for Minato, mainly because I'm the one who wrote the scary moms. LOL! I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Cheesecake: Thanks for reviewing. I loved their hiding antics too. Mainly because that's how I used to hide with my brother and my cousins when we were kids, hiding for everyone yelling. It saved us a lot of trouble. LOL! I hope you enjoy this chapter.
narutofan: Thanks for reviewing. I know you always do, but I shall thank you anyways. And yes, I do feel sorry for Minato, even though I wrote it that way. LOL! I hope that you enjoy this chapter.
Vortigon83: Thanks so much for reviewing. I'm glad that you like what I'm doing. I do try to account for each character's personality, even though those personalities might change with different events happening. However, I wouldn't think that any character would change too much. As for the writing thing, I take writing quite seriously. It's something I love doing and I'm actually trying to get published. Fanfics are my fun time, but I also research everything I do. I hate to make huge glaring mistakes that would never occur with proper research. (nods) I don't mind you using the idea of Kyubi being capable of sending people back in time. To me, the thought was that Kyubi is the strongest Bijuu and it makes more sense that he would be able to do something like that if I want to make the idea more logical. So please, feel free and go wild. Send me a link to your fic when you post it and I'll be happy to read and review and let you know what I think.

Another Chance.
Chapter Twenty-One – A Different Type of Prison.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
The group were making their way to Tazuna's house. Everything seemed too easy. It was grating on Team Seven's nerves. They all knew that it shouldn't be this cut and dried getting Tazuna home, because Gato would not give up on getting rid of Tazuna, and even with no Zabuza and Haku, there were plenty of mercenary Shinobi, looking to turn a tidy profit out there. That was when Sasuke noticed something odd. He saw a few white spiders, making their way under Tazuna's feet. It gave him an odd image before he wrestled Tazuna out of the way.
"Get to high ground! Those aren't spiders!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi just managed to dive out of the way before the spiders exploded. The group looked rather unhappily at the craters where they might have been without Sasuke's observance. Naruto frowned.
"This is a really familiar fighting style." Naruto thought to himself irritably.
"Un, how did you little Genin know to move out of the way. All that beautiful art wasted." The group looked to see a blond man, wearing a blue cloak. It was most definitely Deidara.

Gaara frowned as he listened in to the conversation going on in his father's office. But it was not his father. Gaara knew straight away that it was Orochimaru, pretending to be his father. Obviously his father had not intended to betray Konoha, and had been killed as a result. Now Orochimaru was masquerading as the fourth Kazekage, to get the Shinobi of Suna to attack Konoha. Gaara clenched his fists as he heard what was going on in the office.
"I can't just let you run off back to Konoha. Who will control Gaara?" Orochimaru said.
"Gaara doesn't need controlling, Kazekage-Sama." Yashimaru replied. Gaara felt a deep anger welling up inside him. He didn't like that his Uncle's happiness was being toyed with for Orochimaru's gain. He decided to write a message to Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. They needed to know the truth of the situation. He needed them to know that his father was not a traitor. For reasons Gaara couldn't explain, this was more important than he could say.

"Deidara of Iwakagure? What are you doing here?" Kakashi asked. Deidara glared.
"I'm rogue if you hadn't noticed, un! Just move aside, let me kill the old man and let me get back to my art un, you won't win against me anyway." Deidara replied.
"We don't give up so quickly on missions in Konoha." Sasuke stated. Naruto and Sakura gave Sasuke looks that begged for answer they knew they were not getting at this moment.
"So, one of your little pipsqueaks speaks. Do they do tricks too? Maybe they understand the need for good art." Deidara asked cheerfully.
"Look, we need to get Tazuna home and protect him. We're not just going to give up and let you kill him, you know." Sakura said blandly. Naruto frowned at Deidara.
"I don't get why you want to kill Tazuna in the first place. It's not like you haven't got better things to do." Naruto stated. Deidara glared at the group.
"That's it. You three have bigger mouths then you should, for Genins. Well, maybe this will shut you up." Deidara stated. With that, a few hand signs were made, and Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura found themselves surrounded by clay walls.
"This is where the difference is happening? Kakashi is the one on the outside and we're in a clay ball." Sasuke stated. Naruto shrugged.
"It could be a hallucination." Sakura said.
"Of course it could, but so could life in general." Sasuke replied.
"Well Kakashi-Sensei had better be able to think of a way to get us out of this before we end up dead." Naruto said.

Okay, that's the end of this chapter. I'm sorry, it's short and sweet but I wanted to get it up and I'm so awful at writing fight scenes. I thought I'd change it up a bit by having the kids in a clay prison jutsu, rather than Kakashi in a water prison jutsu, and I threw in some Gaara too. Please R&R and let me know what you think and I shall try and update as soon as possible.
