Naruto does not belong to me but to Masashi Kishimoto
Naruto, Sakura, and Pakkun left hoping for the best.
" I sense that sasuke has stopped moving but he's still a long way ahead of us" Pakkun said after a couple of minutes.
' If sasuke has stopped that means he has caught up to them, C'mon!' Naruto thought still worrying for sasuke and hoping he was okay.
" Did I smell what I think I just smelled?" Pakkun stated after sniffing the air. He stopped on a branch in front of him.
" huh what's wrong?!" Naruto asked also stopping on the branch.
" What is it, did you smell some kind of trouble" Sakura asked.
" Strange I've never noticed it before, Sakura did you know you used the same shampoo as I do... Minty rainforest mist right, with extra body" Pakkun said sniffing slightly. Sakura went into a state of shock. Looking like a ghost.
" What!? Are you kidding me!" Naruto yelled to Pakkun.
" But I wonder why my fur looks so much more glossier than yours'" Pakkun said. Sakura looked even more depressed while leaning over the tree.
" Knock it off! Will ya! It's no time to be talking about hair products!" Naruto yelled to pakkun getting annoyed.
" Sorry just making an observation" Pakkun said.
" I smell like a dog, I smell like a dog, I smell like a dog" Sakura kept repeating over and over again. She started jumping away still muttering.
" Ah look what you've done, Sakura!" Naruto yelled and then ran after Sakura.
" Where are you going, you wont get far without me!" Pakkun said and jumped after them.
~ with sasuke ~
" If is isn't Sasuke Uchiha" Temari said. Sasuke smirked slightly and lifted his kunai.
" This is far as you guys go" Sasuke said acting confident.
" So what are you gonna do huh little missy" Kankuro said to sasuke. Sasuke's eyebrow twitched. Temari jumped from the tree branch.
" Go kankuro! Get Gaara away from here" Temari threw three kunia at Sasuke and he dodged it only by moving head a bit.
" I'll take care of this one" She said smugly.
" Don't be a fool temari, this kid is too much for you too handle all by yourself" Kankuro said still holding Gaara's shoulder.
" Don't argue, our mission is to make sure Gaara is safe. He's our first and only priority, don't worry about me this is what I've been waiting for. Get going Kankuro" Kankuro nodded and jumped.
" Oh no you don't, no" Sasuke threw kunia's at him but missed and started jumping towards him but was stopped by the feeling of nausea.' no, just give me a few minutes dammit!' Sasuke knew he had run out of time though. He jumped down from the branches and landed on the ground. He leaned over on a bush and hurled.' Oh for the love of god!'
" huh what the hell is wrong with him" Temari said looking at sasuke throw his guts out. She would've hit him with her justu but the kid seems to be in enough pain, so she just waited.
After a couple minutes sasuke stopped throwing up. But he looked exhausted and was not in the best state to fight.
' Ok it stopped but I still feel like barfing so I should use this time to beat the chick and get to Gaara' Sasuke breathed in and jumped back on the branch.
" Oh so now your ready,well alright then let's get this started!" temari said and waved her gigantic fan causing strong winds to go towards sasuke. He jumped backward barely missing the wind. He jumped back right on the branch.
' What should I do, more than half my chakra is gone and I feel incredibly dizzy' sasuke thought but he knew he had to hold out until Naruto got here. He knew Naruto would get here, he just needed time. Sasuke finished his thinking and threw ninja stars at Temari. She blew it away with her fan.
" Wind swipe Justu!" She Waved her fan and strong wind went towards sasuke. He jumped up barely missing the wind and threw kunia's at her, he needed to preserve as much as possible.
" Is that the best you can do! Sandstorm Justu!" She blew all the kunia away. It hit sasuke this time and he was pushed back into a tree, it took a couple of seconds to recover but he moved behind the tree. After the wind decreased sasuke went on a side branch directly across from Temari. He made a hand sign for a fire style justu.
" Phoenix Flower Justu!" And balls of fire came at temari. She flipped backwards onto the ground and the fire balls surrounded her.
" Fire ball Justu!" A huge ball of chakara came at Temari while she was trapped inside the fire that was surrounding her.
" Did I get her?" Sasuke said breathing a little more heavier now. Her wind saved her and sasuke flipped back but slipped on sand which made him fall. Temari jumped and threw kunia at sasuke that directly hit him. He fell on the ground but suddenly instead of sasuke it was a log that had been hit.
" What the- A substitution!... Oh no!" Temari yelled. A fire tag had been stuck to the log and it went off. Which blew Temari several feet away and hit her back while landing. She groaned in pain trying to get up.
" Gotta run I've wasted too much time on you already" Sasuke said and then he left holding his stomach.
" Hopefully I held him off long enough for Gaara to get away" Temari breathed heavily still not able to get up.
Sasuke finally managed to catch up to Kankuro and Gaara. He landed in front of them.
" You threw with running away" Sasuke teased Kankuro.
" Who says I was running, I'll take you on no problem" kankuro was breathing deeply while saying this.
" Wait!" Temari landed behind Kankuro.
" When he-she showed up and you didn't. I thought he must've finished you" Kankuro said to Temari.
" He could have and why he didn't, i don't know. Guess I didn't delay him for very long did I?" Temari said.
" It's ok every second gives Gaara more time to recover and the more chakara uchiha is forced to use up is better for us." Kankuro explained to temari.
' Dammit he's correct, I barely have a quarter of my chakara, hurry up naruto' sasuke thought not showing his panic on the outside.
~ with naruto ~
" There it is-" pakkun was cut off by Naruto.
" Oh what someone's shampoo!" Naruto said annoyed.
" No I smelled sasuke, he's not alone. I smell other's with him, he's caught up to them" pakkun informed them. Naruto and Sakura looked at each other.
" At last" sakura said sounding relieved and they looked forward.
' Sasuke i'm almost there wait for me' Naruto thought.
" There close together and they've stopped moving. Could mean a fight.. We should hurry" They kept at their fast pace wanting to get to sasuke already.
" Smells like we're not the only one tracking sasuke. There's something else out there." Pakkun said looking back to Naruto and Sakura.
" Really where!?" Naruto asked.
" Who is it, friend or foe!?" Sakura asked wanting to know.
" I don't know but... It isn't human" Naruto and Sakura gasped, their eyes widening at the statement.
~ Back with Sasuke~
" I've got this Kankuro, get Gaara out of here, go on!" Temari told Kankuro but Kankuro jumped on the branch in front of him without Gaara.
" Temari you take Gaara and go on ahead" Kankuro said while holding onto some weird wrapped figure.
" Huh!?" she said shocked.
" Your all worn out, look at yourself. Go on you'll only get in my way... Get Moving! Hurry up!" He yelled to her. Temari looked at Gaara.
" Alright" She said and grabbed Gaara.
" Okay Uchiha, Time you picked up on someone your own size... and after that maybe i'll give you a little punishment" Kankuro said with a perverted smile. Sasuke's eye's widened, thinking maybe he should kill the guy for saying that to him.
" Hold on.. I've got dibs on him first sasuke" A voice said out of nowhere. Sasuke looked to the side and it was Shino.
" What do you want?" Kankuro said to shino.
" Shino how did you find us?' Sasuke asked but in truth he didn't care, since he was glad someone came considering how low his chakara was.
" I planted a beetle on you when you left the arena, a female beetle... She gives off a very faint scent nothing you could detect but the male of the species can. He has a very strong sense of smell and he'd follow her anywhere. Sasuke Uchiha it's Gaara your really after because your match against him was left unfinished . Well I have similar unfinished business with Kankuro because our match never even started. He's mine leave him to me.. Go" Shino said.
" Well alright then if your sure your okay" Sasuke said very glad that shino wanted to fight Kankuro.
" Don't worry give me ten minutes and i'll come after you to see if your ok" Shino said with confidence.
Sasuke looked at him and gave him a slight smile, " ok Im going good luck shino!" and Sasuke left.
' What a pretty boy, but back to my fight or soon to be fight" And shino turned back to Kankuro awaiting the fight that will come.
