i dont own naruto
Sasuke's match was short, in a way, since it was interrupted when Gaara suddenly went into this sand dome and like morphed into a huge raccoon!
"Freaking, I'm losing all my chakra holding this thing!" Sasuke thought as he rammed his arm right into Gaara's sand dome.
So, of course, the eight Anbu's had to go and quickly dispatch the oncoming sound nins and some sand nins, while their leader, Orochimaru and the Sandiame fought.
Sasuke, on the other hand, raced after the vessel, which was chased closely behind by Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru. Kira was staying behind helping her brother.
Kakashi and Gai, again, were both having their contest, to see who was going to knock out the most men. Of course… Gai was ahead by one.
"Frickin'…. You suck, you know that!" Anko shouted as she punched a certain man in his head, with the said man flying through the air, his glasses shattered on the floor.
"ANKO! Less taunting and more killing!" gritted an irritated Ibiki from where he was fighting, which was on the ground with 9 people surrounded. One touch on their forehead and they're in Satan's mirror.
"Aye Eye, captain!"
People from around sweat dropped as they fought. The Sandiame, however, was not fairing so well. Since he withered from old age, his arms and legs are less agile now, thus him making slower movements and Orochimaru catching on. The large gorilla was summoned out now… but it wasn't turning the tables much.
"Hatake! Go out and find your team! They should be engaging battle with Suna's vessel now!" ordered Ibiki, as he swiped a whole column of people who were just standing there, waiting to be killed.
She nodded before tearing off into the woods, dabbing her injuries along the way.
"You…. Are the same as me. I'm the vessel of the Kyuubi, the crazy fox that tried to kill my village years ago."
Gaara's eyes widened considerably from where he was-on the ground.
"No. You liar. You are not the same as me. I've lived me life, treated as if I were nothing, hated at, used as a weapon. I live only to kill. I need to kill."
" We are the same! I'm just not like you because I managed to make some friends! But you can too! I'm you're friend! We both have demons! We both befriended Kira and were showed the love we needed when growing up! We're both the same!" Naruto shouted as he punched the ground, which wasn't much since his face was kissing the dirt.
Sasuke's eyes were slowly fluttering, before he shut his eyes tight from the brightness of Sakura's gruesome pink hair.
" Sasuke-kun! You're awake!" Sakura screamed, choking him with all her might. Sasuke shoved her off as he glanced around. They were on a tree, on a branch, and both he and Sakura were heavily injured, well… at least he think he was injured. Sasuke twitched his arm. "Ow". That stung him. Yep, he was definitely injured.
"What happened?" demanded Sasuke, ignoring the hurt look Sakura sent him before she told him.
"Well… you ran off against to fight that Gaara dude and both me and Naruto-baka chased after you… you fought him and you did a great job Sasuke-kun!"
"I meant, what happened when I was passed out?" Sasuke spat out.
"Nothing really good, actually. Stupid Naruto summoned up this big toad, I mean, it could've crushed us! And then he and the big red toad started fighting Gaara's demon… urgh…. Hand or something. After about 5 minutes of yelling and screaming, they both were knocked off those big animals and they fell to the ground. But who cares about that! All I care is that you did great!" Sakura smiled so wide that he was being blinded by it.
Sasuke impatiently shoved her off of him again as she tried to get closer, and watched as both Naruto and Gaara slowly got up with the help of Kira and hugged Gaara tightly telling him she was happy he was okay.
Sasuke sent his glare at both the males, but they didn't seem to notice. Sasuke walked over and helped her lift Naruto up, he was fast asleep, dreaming about happy things.
"Thanks?" she looked at him cautiously scared to know what he was planning.
She started to help heal Gaara with her water. "Why?" he asked her.
"Why what?" Kira had finished his healing and went to work on Naruto.
"Why did he fight to save this village? Isn't he the same as me?" Gaara asked, as he stared at the sleeping form of Naruto before glancing back at the girl in front of him.
" Well he is like you but he's lucky to have friends I mean look at him, the one glaring at you "she pointed at Sasuke, who just growled quietly before resuming back to his glaring, "… is one of Naruto's best friend. Not that he would ever admit it, though." By then, Naruto's eyes were fully shown; the blue orbs peering tentatively into red ones. She hugged him and kissed his cheek.
They sat up and she punched his arm "Ow! What was that for?"
"Don't scare me like that anymore! Naruto you know how much I care for you. If you had any more serious injuries you could have died… you too Gaara! I can't lose another person in my life it hurts to much just thinking of losing you guys!" She hugged Gaara and mumbled something.
"what did she say?" Sakura asks. "Not to get hurt anymore" Gaara says holding the girl to him.
"Yeah Naruto! Stop getting yourself hurt! Be more like Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted from her side. What she didn't notice was that a large hand made from sand was forming behind her, and when she did turn around, she was already 3 feet under. Everyone turned to look at Gaara, whom just shrugged.
"She annoys me." The Konoha nins just nodded and went back to their conversation, not caring about what happened to Sakura. Kira hugged Gaara tighter with a smile on her face; they were interrupted by Temari's yelling.
"Little brother doesn't want to kill anymore!" for some reason, Temari did a happy dance. Kira slowly went over to Sasuke and started to heal him which made him smirk.
"What happened, Gaara?" his older brother asked. Gaara glanced back at Kira before saying, "She did it."
"what I do?" Kira asked from where she was standing, which was behind Sasuke, healing his arm from using too much chidoris. Gaara glared at the other teen before replying, "Nothing."
Sasuke, on the other hand, was having a great time. His Kira was healing his arm, which meant touching him, which meant that he could feel her smooth fingertips running up his bandaged arm, and he could smirk smugly at the sand nin, who, by the way, glare was increasing by every minute.
Kira was scared to be around him he bothered her to no end, kisses her, haunts her dreams (Not really) and somehow gets her to heal him. I seriously need to stop helping people so much.
"Done." she got up, and to their surprise, she whacked the back of Sasuke's head. Naruto's jaws dropped to the ground, before he gleefully did a happy dance while saying, "Yay! Kira hit Sasuke for being a jerk!"
"What was that for?" Sasuke asked, ignoring Naruto's rant.
"For being stupid enough to even use chidori! And making me have to heal you!" as Sasuke got scolded by Kira, the others watched in amusement. It was like watching a mom telling a child off from eating too much candy. Naruto, Temari and Kankurou muffled their laughter while Gaara's left eye twitched.
"Okay, okay. I get it." Sasuke tried to worm his way out of her rant, Wait, since when does Kira act like this toward Sasuke?
When Kira finally stopped she looked at Gaara and smiled at him he gave her a small smile in return.
"Kira can you get him to let me go?" Sakura asks/ begs. She nodded and goes over to Gaara and takes his hands in hers. "Gaara, I know she annoys you but you have to let my team mate free." He sighed but did so.
She kissed his cheek after having to get on her tippy toes. "Looks like Gaara got a girlfriend" Temari said in a sing song voice. Kira blushed and Gaara had a faint blush.
"Shut up I do not" he glared at his elder sister but she saw happiness in his eyes and smiled.
"we better abort our mission and tell what has happened." Gaara said to his siblings they nodded.
"I had so much fun fighting you. You're just lucky I was toying with you, Kira if you're ever in Suna look me up and we can spar." Smiled Temari as she waved her fan.
"Sure." Both the girls shook hands before they stepped back.
Kira walked over to Kankurou and glared at him "if you so ever hurt the boys I will rip you to shreds slow and painfully" Kankurou was practically fainting thinking OMG! A female Gaara!
Kira practically ran to Gaara and gave him a big hug Sasuke glared harder for touching his Kira. "I'll miss ya Gaara write to me okay?" he hugged her back and nodded "of course and you will write to me as well deal." She smiled and hugged him tighter "you bet!"
The two let go and smiled at each other "My little Kira's in love" Naruto said with a laugh to his voice Kira rolled her eyes at him and put an arm around his shoulder.
The three nins went off into the bushes, heading towards their comrades location, before leaving back into the Sand Village.
"you guys want ta get ramen?" Naruto cheered and went to the restaurant Kira saw Kakashi go to Hokage tower and snuck off with Naruto and Sasuke.
…
"…are you sure he's going to say yes?" a man, they recognized as Ibiki, asked.
"No, Jiraiya wouldn't want to… ask him." Anko ordered the man next to her as she slammed her fist on the hokage's desk. A handful of jounins and Anbu's were in the room.
"Hai." A jounin ninja said as he teleported out of the room. The others waited until he was gone before they released the breath they never knew they were holding.
" Now…. We need to get to business. Assuming that Jiraiya declines, who do we ask next?" Kakashi asked, with no orange booklet in sight.
"Well… there always was Tsunade-hime?" Anko said, her finger resting on her chin in a thoughtful way.
"Well… what if she says no?" Ibiki asked,
"Don't worry, if Jiraiya declines, I'll make sure Tsunade will become the-" and then there was silence. Sasuke strained his ears more to try and catch on what Kakashi was saying, but his ear was met with silence. Kira and Naruto turned to look at them, and both of them knew that they were in deep trouble. Before they could hightail out of there, the door slammed open and the purple-haired apprentice of Orochimaru stepped out, crackling her hands menacingly.
" Oh… It's you Three. Dorky, Emo boy, and Lover girl." Anko commented before she held the door wide open for the boys to step in. And they did, with everyone's eyes on them. Kira laughed nervously then glared at Anko.
Kakashi looked at Kira disapprovingly and continued. " Don't let the council member find out that we're looking for them. Then, Danzo will go berserk and try to kill us all."
"Understood." The other jounins nodded before they turned towards Naruto and Sasuke and Kira.
"Is there anything you guys want to know?" Kurenai asked, flipping her grayish black hair back.
"Yeah, um…. Where's Oji-san!" Naruto shouted, but as soon as he said that, Sasuke noticed something wrong. He saw how the jounins in the room looked to the older men and women shuffled uncertainly, before Kakashi quietly mumbled.
"The Hokage's dead, Naruto. I'm sorry Kira and Naruto."
A few seconds past in silence, before Naruto chuckled nervously, scratching his head.
"You're kidding right?" His voice coming out in a loud and desperate tone. "Right?" the information hit Kira like a ton of bricks she got up and ran away with tears in her eyes.
"Oh boy…" Kakashi said sadly about to go to her but Anko stopped him "Don't, she needs to be to herself for this." He nodded seeing as how she is a girl that she would know what to do.
Naruto looks at the shinobis faces it said it all. Naruto spun around and looked at everyone in the eye, all who flinched, away, not able to handle the innocence of his crystal blue eyes.
So he ran as well, out of the Hokage's room, past the ramen stand, and into the forest, where he took out all his anger and sadness on an oak tree.
"The Hokage is really dead?" Sasuke asked quietly, looking at Kakashi.
"Hai." Kakashi's face was visibly saddened, even though half of it was covered, His eye, that usually was in the upside down smiley face was cast down, looking on the ground, cold.
"Who's going to be the 5th?" This time, Anko answered.
"We haven't decided yet. It will be one of the Sannins, either Jiriaya or Tsunade." Just then, the man from before that was sent to contact Jiraiya came in, along with the older hermit himself. Jiraiya sat himself down on the windowsill and skipped the pleasantries.
"So, what's the plan?" He inquired, staring at all of them, before dropping his gaze onto Sasuke. Kakashi noticed this and whispered, "Sasuke, leave. This is our business." Sasuke looked at his sensei.
Sasuke nodded and left, decided that it was best to spy at Naruto, in case he did anything stupid.
Sasuke followed Naruto all the way to a large forest. Sasuke recognized this forest as the same one he used to train in-before his brother killed everyone.
Now, Sasuke just continued training by the lake where he first learned Katon. He saw Naruto by the trees, beating the crap out of himself as he started smashing the tree with all his might.
Sasuke gotta admit, though, that Naruto had gotten stronger. It only took about 5 hits before Naruto smashed down the whole trunk of the tree.
Sasuke was amazed; Naruto wasn't using any chakra at all! So, Sasuke strode silently along until he was about 3 yards away from Naruto, and picked out a tree.
He got into a stance very much like Naruto's, before he started attacking the tree. Naruto just glanced at him before he continued doing what he was doing.
Naruto, inside, was filled with gratitude as he heard Sasuke train beside him. Sasuke was helping him release the anger he couldn't release just by hitting a tree. The rivalry between Sasuke and him were too great! After 10 minutes of hard-core hitting, the two of them finally stopped and rested for a while.
"Oi, Teme." Naruto pants out, as they leaned against the trunk of the tree they had half beaten to death. It was now limped in half.
"Hn."
"Arigatou." Naruto said, before he and Sasuke got up from the tree and walked away, each of them… for some reason, going in the same direction towards the same destination. Then Naruto stopped. Sasuke looked at him confused.
"Hey teme where's Kira?" his eyes widened "I don't know… come on let's find her."
Oooo what happened to Kira is she okay? Did something bad happen? Review and tell me what you think sorry about last one I meant it to be this one but for some reason it wasn't so again thanks :D
