(With Naruto)

Naruto jumped back as Sasuke slammed his Ax into the ground causing flames to rocket through the ground almost hitting Naruto. Gaara looked as if she was dancing while controlling her sand trying to stun Naruto instead of kill him. Naruto was moving as quickly as possible. He maybe strong, but Gaara and Sasuke have a very good chance to beat him without much trouble.

Naruto rushed Sasuke and exchanged a few strikes with him before both jumped back. Sasuke's Kimono had a gash on it's right sleeve and Naruto had a small cut over his eye. Naruto turned around into to intercept a blade of sand from Gaara. Naruto jumped back to regroup only for Sasuke to attack him Again. Sasuke bought the ax down above Naruto head only for Naruto to block it. The force of the attack caused a small crater to form around them that was at least 10 feet in every direction. Sasuke jumped back as Gaara appeared undre Naruto and kicked him in the jaw, sending him into the air. Gaara grabbed Sasuke and throw him at Naruto. Once in the air Sasuke slammed the staff side of his weapon into Naruto's gut. Naruto fell to the ground only to land on his feet.

"That all you got Sasuke!?" said Naruto making Sasuke glare at him.

Sasuke jumped into the air and brought the Ax down on Naruto. Naruto blocked While Naruto held Sasuke, Gaara covered her hand in hard sand and rushed forward and slammed her fist into Naruto's face forcing him back. She followed up with a back kick and jumped into the air and unleashed a wave of sand that covered him and nearly crushed him. Naruto created a barrier of wind around him and throw off most of the attack only for it to be followed up by a blast of fire. The fire caught up in the winds making Naruto Cough.

Naruto jumped up and started to spin his blade before he did a downwards slash. A massive amount wind lined with blue energy shot out and knocked Sasuke and Gaara back. Sasuke was in front of Gaara protecting her from most of the Damage.

"Hard to believe when they first started out they hated each others guts with passion," thought Naruto landing on the ground

Flashback

Naruto was pissed off at Soifon. Soifon had recommended that he teach the Zanpakto class for a year and all he did was grade papers on battle theories. The students were to take another test, but Naruto was not about to grade another report.

He stood and glared at everyone. "EVERYONE OUTSIDE FOR A PRACTICAL EXAM!!" yelled Naruto making everyone leave in a hurry.

When everyone arrive Naruto held out two wooden swords. "Alright. I want two people front and center now," said Naruto.

Gaara stepped forward. She had grown her hair out to about her waist and just let it hang out. She was also one of the deadliest swordsmen in the academy. The next person was Sasuke. Sasuke was a genies of Kido, but preferred to use it as a last resort and focused on his sword skills. What made it worse was that they still haven't forgiven the other for the war.

"Finally a chance to put the little bitch in her place," said Sasuke as he grabbed the blade from Naruto as well as Gaara they turned to face each other only to find that both were blown back by a sword thrust.

They looked and Saw Naruto had a sword as well. "I never said anything about you two fighting each other," said Naruto.

"I'm not working with him/Her," said Sasuke and Gaara pointing at each other.

"I don't really give a shit who you want to work with. In battle the person next to you could be the one to save your life so never take them for granted, even if you hate their guts," said Naruto attack both of them. Sasuke and Gaara both blocked his attack and it was at that moment that a bond of friendship was forged

End Flashback

"Sasuke are you alright?" asked Gaara standing up. She looked around and saw naruto was waiting for them

"Yeah I'm good. A few cuts, but nothing I can't handle," said Sasuke jumping up and moving his arms around.

Naruto swapped his blade across the ground causing it to explode outwards. Sasuke and Gaara jumped up. Gaara made her sand move under her and act as a platform so she and Sasuke could attack without worrying for a counter attack. Sasuke started to swing his blade and waves of fire flow out. Naruto charged forward and through the flames. Gaara who anticipated this throw out a few kunai made of sand the intense heat turned it to glass and girt Naruto in the chest, right arm, and right leg. Stopping his movements. Sasuke then jumped down and slashed Naruto across the chest making Naruto grit his teeth in pain.

"It's over you've lost Naruto," said Sasuke looking at his friend.

"Naruto-kun please come quietly or risk death," said Gaara.

Naruto lowed his sword only to lunged forward and at point blank range stopped. Before Gaara and Sasuke could attack Naruto looked at them

"Hurricane Strike, said Naruto unleashing the attack.

The attack hit so hard that Sasuke hit the wall flying through it, and impacting into another wall before he fell to the ground unable to move with heavy injures. Gaara sand acted like it did when she was alive and made automatic defense. Most of the attack was blocked, but it still got through and cut her pretty badly. When she hit the ground her sword sealed itself. She looked at Naruto with tears in her eyes as he sheathed his sword. He didn't come out of the battle with out his fair share of wound it would take a good day or two for the burns to heal and even then the slash mark across his chest would take at least a week.

"Why… Naruto-kun?" asked Gaara

Naruto walked over to Gaara picked her up bridal style and laid her near Sasuke. "I told you Gaara that I would hove no regrets fighting you and Sasuke. You yourself have regrets for hurting me. Don't. I did what I had to do and if I told you that what I did didn't hurt m in someway I'd be lying. It hurt that I would fight my two friend who I care for. You rest the 4th Division relief team will be here shortly," said Naruto before he bent down and kissed Gaara's tattoo and left.

"G-Gaara do you r-regret fighting N-Naruto?" asked Sasuke in obvious pain.

"No… Sasuke I… don't," said Gaara as she heard footsteps.

"Neither do I," said Sasuke as the world around him became black.

(With Tatsuki and Chad)

Chad and Tatsuki walked along a path tiring to find anyone. Unknown to them they just stepped into the loins den. Above them was Zabuza and Haku.

"Just like old times huh Haku?" said Zabuza.

"Indeed, but lets reminisce later. We have pests to take down," said Haku drawing her sword.

The big guy is mine. You can have the girl," said Zabuza as he charged Chad. Chad not expecting this was slammed through a wall with Zabuza close behind with a grin on his face.

"Chad!" yelled Tatsuki only to find a sword near her neck.

"Don't worry about your friend. Your battle is with me," said Haku. Tatsuki bent back and tried to force Haku to fall, but Haku jumped up and back.

Tatsuki activated her powers and prepare for a fight. Tatsuki charged and Haku stepped to the side. Tatsuki charged again only to have a gash appear on her side. Tatsuki looked at her before she threw out her right fist making a bolt of lightning come from it. Jumped to the side again she almost was hit by Tatsuki's drill punch, but thanks to her speed she blocked it without much trouble.

Haku jumped back and looked at Tatsuki with a black expression. "This girl is good. I wouldn't have been able to dodge that it had been a bit closer. Also that drilling fist is something I never expected. I'll have to take this battle up a notch," thought Haku holing her sword straight.

Tatsuki got into a fighting style and waited. "Alright she has a solid defense, but if that's the case her offense is lacking and I can use that to my advantage. I just hope she doesn't have anything up her sleeves," thought Tatsuki.

"I hope you aren't at your limit of power yet, because I'm only getting warmed up," said Haku.
