Sakura stopped as she looked up at a giant boulder, 'He's here…' She thought as she looked over to Chiyo, "He will be mine to kill… Do not interfere." She ordered.

Chiyo looked at Sakura in surprise, "What?! You are not fighting him alone! He is---- My father, he who trained me, he is the one who made the bet with me not you, so I am the one to fight him." Sakura interrupted.

"But!"

"No buts Grandmother…" Sakura growled and lifted her hand, a blue film of chakra slowly rippling over her hand, 'It's time…' She thought and charged toward the boulder her fist pulling back and in a flash slammed into the boulder a huge glowing seal flickering into vision then disappearing once more.

"You have to do better then that." She growled and jumped back and again charged her hand full of chakra before once again charging forward and repeating the process of slamming her hand over and over into the boulder the seal now completely visible and cracking rapidly.

After a few more hit's and many cracks later the seal and boulder shuddered then stilled before bursting into millions of little tiny shards of rock and on the other side stood two nin and eight more holographic figures.

"Hello everybody… I believe you have something to hand over…" Sakura said her chakra flaring as the two nin turned.

"Saku-chan… Nice to see you again… But I wasn't expecting to see you so soon." The holographic leader said.

"Well suck it up because I'm right here, and I'm taking back Gaara." Sakura retorted and raised her hands, "Oh and I'm here to take my prize." She said as her eyes flickered to the two nin that weren't holographic.

"But Sakura you have not defeated me so what prize is there to be taken?" The shorter bulky one said.

"Well father, I have been training a lot more then just with Chiyo you see, with Tsunade-shishou that was just child's play. After I got back to Suna and began training with Chiyo-Obaa-san, I also took the liberty to search around the villages that I went to on long term missions, and trained with some of the best there. So I hope you don't mind but I am no longer just a puppeteer but a lot more then that." Sakura stated and stuck her tongue out.

"Tch. I guess we'll see, Deidara, take Gaara and leave, this fight is just for me and Sakura." Sasori said.

Sakura smiled, "I hope you take this seriously, because there is no chance I am leaving without my prize." She hissed.

"I guess we'll see," Sasori smirked as Deidara took off his huge clay bird taking to the sky swiftly, "Who is the better in a Father vs. Daughter match."

"I guess we will…" Sakura replied as she fell into her fighting stance.

That's it for this chapter, I know it's short, but the fight will be a chapter on it's own so look forward to that. It will be up maybe on Friday, can't make any promises though.
