"Mother is definitely amazing," Gaara said wholeheartedly and continued on. "But this is the first time you've ever given me 'medicine,' father…"
"Gaara, you…" Raka trailed off of his words in amazement and smiled once again with his tear dropped down on his cheeks. "Thank you, my son…"
As soon as the seal was placed in the middle of his chest, he closed his eyes as he began to bid farewell to him and leave the rest to him. "More than I could have hoped, you've surpassed me. I entrust everything to you now."
Once he vanished, the rest of the Kages were attempting to break free from the sand's grasp.
"Hey, these cards are sealing you, aren't they? Alright then, young Kazekage. Bring it on," Mizukage said boldly with a proud smirk. He quickly crumbled it off of him as well as the third Raikage.
Both of them hopped out of their cages and began to attack, whereas the red-haired Kazekage glared while glancing at them observantly.
"It recognizes an enemy's jutsu and it programmed to respond on its own!" The third Raikage exclaimed. He was dashing forward towards the shinobi army, blowing them out of their way.
"Surround them!" Temari ordered strongly, holding her huge fan beside her.
The allies followed and started to run the specific direction she was pointing.
Meanwhile, Onoki was still fighting against Muu. He was panting out of breath, but was still able to manage to keep up with the strength he has left.
"Hehe. Your age is catching up to you, right?" Muu asked slyly and threatened. "If you don't call the Kazekage here, you will die here, old man."
Onoki ignored his remark and decided to use one of his techniques with his hands folded together. "Don't underestimate me… Rock Clone Technique!"
Then, a few figures of him appeared around him, much to Muu's surprise.
At this point in time, Naruto transformed into his Kyuubi Chakra Mode, which he now has the power to control over the beast's chakra. His aura changed into bright yellow, whereas the chakra was forming around his body. He and Killerbee encountered Itachi after they both had fought against him and Nagato. Even before that, he was thankful that Tsunade and Raikage A had let them go. They simply had a conversation where Itachi reminded Naruto not to take the wrong path like Madara. He wanted him to know that he has a lot of friends by his side. Then, he left them as soon as he jumped out of their sight, so that the two jinchurikis are able to take the chance to protect everyone, and mostly stop Sasuke from plotting out his schemes.
Back in the middle of the desert, all the shinobi allies had been attacking the Mizukage, using kunai knives and shurikens that pinned him towards the rocky wall. Although, their attacks were pretty pointless as he began to summon the clam's power, creating a mirage.
"Alright, let's do this!" One of the ninjas said.
"Aim for the clam!" The second one exclaimed and quickly threw all their weapons towards the creature.
"Huh?!" The others replied in unison with puzzlement.
The MIzukage burst out vehemently, saying. "You idiots! I've told you already that the clam's a mirage too!"
"Then, where the fuck is that real one?!" One of the shinobi questioned loudly.
"It's somewhere behind me, hiding in a mirage, so you can't see it!" The Mizukage answered.
Then, the third ninja ally suddenly threw a huge shuriken at him, but was futile when it passed through his body.
"I told you already! It's useless to attack me now!" The Mizukage stated.
"No, I aimed at the clam behind you and… oh fuck it, I don't know anymore!" The third ninja ally groaned in frustration.
Meanwhile, Temari and Gaara were currently fighting against the Raikage and Tsuchikage all at once. She used her Wind Element Net Cast technique that wrapped the Raikage tightly.
"I got him! Sealing team, move in!" The blonde-haired kunoichi demanded.
The others started to pace hastily and followed her instructions.
Gaara looked at Onoki with warning. "Behind you!"
Luckily, the old man dodged the attack, but felt a cramp on his back side. "Not now!"
"Dust Element Subatomic Separation!" Mu said, performing his technique with both hands displayed in front of him to gather tiny particles.
However, the red-haired Kazekage narrowed his eyes when he noticed that a huge blue chakra sphere was hanging above them. It was known as the Rasengan Planet, much to his surprise. But Naruto missed his attack on Mu, who immediately avoided it.
"Shit!" The blonde-haired ninja cursed.
"Mu is the sensor type!" Onoki reminded him.
"Gaara! Your sand!" Naruto called out, which Gaara lifted one up for him to stand.
As Mu was about to release his power, the blonde-haired ninja pushed himself off to counterattack him.
"Heh. My jutsu is even faster. You're too slow…" he said menacingly until Naruto shoved the Rasengan Planet into his abdomen, causing a whole lot of damage with his Serial Spinning technique.
Once they have defeated him, Gaara sealed Mu off with his sand, ignoring what he was saying to him. Then, Naruto jumped down and was about to speak up.
"Alright! You were awesome, Gaara!" He said happily and noticed Onoki with a weird expression. "Um… Err. You were nice too, little old man."
"I'm the Tsuchikage, anyways…" Onoki gave him an annoying stare.
"What are you doing at this battle?! Why did you come here?!" Gaara questioned in distress.
The blonde-haired ninja laughed nervously when he started rubbing the back of his head and stammered. "Uh… The reason…"
,
"Surely, you've got some kind of explanation you can give me, right?!" The red-haired Kazekage demanded.
"Yeah, of course," Naruto grinned as he gave him a curt nod.
Later on, the three of them were traveling around to look for more enemies and began to discuss the issue that Gaara was concerned about.
"I assume that Lady Tsunade has let you and KillerBee go," the red-haired Kazekage said calmly while looking straight at the direction they were going to.
"Hmm. Are you mad?" The blonde-haired ninja asked worriedly.
"No. Why would you think I am? I'm much more likely glad and impressed," Gaara answered.
"Ehhh? You sure? Because it doesn't seem like you're the type of person…" Naruto chuckles nervously.
"Listen, I know we've been a bit harder on you by locking you away from this mess that's been going on. To be frank with you, we are just frightened at the thought of you being in danger. We don't want you to risk your life for all of us," the red-haired Kazekage explained sincerely.
"I understand what you're saying, but this is something that I have chosen," the blonde-haired ninja pointed out.
"Of course. Sorry if we underestimated you… You have something greater in you that everyone else will finally see. We trust you that you are the key to peace," Gaara stated.
Naruto smiled sadly and said. "Thanks…"
"Why the long face?" The red-haired Kazekage asked curiously.
"Did Sakura respond to you about the whole incident? Heard some news from other people that she and the rest of the leaf squad have flouted…" the blonde-haired ninja murmured.
Gaara, on the other hand, remained silent without trying to look at him.
Naruto noticed his reaction and said coherently with a sigh. "I know that they shouldn't have gone with their own plan, but I hope you all understand why they have to do it..."
The red-haired Kazekage still didn't glanced back until he repeated the word as a question. "Understand…? How so?"
"Yeah. I mean, we are all fighting together, right? This is a chance for them to do what's best for everyone…" Naruto said gently.
"Perhaps," Gaara answered shortly, then continued on to change the subject. "Naruto. You were going to every battlefield to identify all the spirits of our opponents. But I'm a jinchuriki, so I know and I worry. Is it really okay for you to be using that much of the Nine Tails' chakra?"
"I don't plan on dying before I become Hokage. Don't go treating people like they're little kids just because you're already a Kazekage. I'm going to go to the battlefield on the right. Gaara and old man Tsuchikage, you guys go to the left!" Naruto instructed as he hastily made his way onto the front, leaving the two alone.
Later on, Temari's team were struggling to defeat the third Raikage until Naruto's shadow clone came in and punched a huge blow right into his stomach upward. Temari's team was struggling to defeat the third Raikage until Naruto's shadow clone arrived in the scene and punched him through his stomach upwards, causing the enemy to fall back down. Gaara and Onoki also followed along to fight in their battle as well. Once the third Raikage collapsed on the ground, the rest of the shinobi felt a little relieved, but they weren't finished when the Mizukage declared that he noticed a sand shield was protecting the red-haired Kazekage. He wants to fight him since he is considered to be the strongest opponent for him.
During that time, they all used their techniques and other jutsus against each other. Then, Gaara had captured the Mizukage right in the spot where he wrapped him in the sand's grasp tightly, which formed into a gigantic pyramid. As a result, the enemy lost, yet he was very impressed by how high-skilled the red-haired Kazekage is.
"The hail that was mixed in with the sand was more than enough to cool him down and the gold makes a good conductor to draw away the heart of the water vapor and keep it cooled down," Gaara explained while looking up to the Mizukage's chained body.
"So in the end, you acted like a true Kage… You did well in thinking up this method. You know, you really are a golden boy.. You and that nine-tailed fox guy make a nie duo," he responded back with an amused grin.
"Really?" The red-haired Kazekage smirked as he slowly sealed him up securely back.
"It's been awhile since I had this much fun!" The Mizukage said happily to himself in mind.
A few minutes later, Muu, the Tsuchikage, suddenly appeared above them, much to their dismay.
"What the-?! Gaara sealed him, didn't he?" Naruto asked suspiciously in shock.
"He managed to split off a double of himself in that condition," Onoki said, gritting his teeth in annoyance.
"What's going on?" One of the shinobi asked.
"There's someone else up there!" The ninja man exclaimed.
Everyone noticed that the person who was standing beside Mu was none other than Madara Uchiha.
