Land of Fire: Forest
Sasuke looked at his teammates. "What are you two doing here?"
"We're here to help you Teme." Naruto declared.
"Kind of obvious there Sasuke." Daichi took out a food pill. "Here, this should keep you in the action."
Sasuke took the pill and ate it while not saying anymore on the subject. He did look from Naruto to Daichi though before focusing on Gaara who was standing up, gripping his head in pain, and screaming.
"Why? Why would you either of you risk your lives for him?!" Gaara questioned.
"Sasuke is our friend. Those who fail a mission are scum, but those who abandon a friend are worse than scum. That was the first lesson our Sensei taught us. I will always do everything in my power to ensure the safety of my friends." Daichi seriously stated.
Gaara let out a blood curdling scream as he jumped up to a branch across from them. His sand parts already reforming at a rapid rate as his mind turned to the memories of his uncle. The only person he ever loved. The one who betrayed him. Gaara looked at the Genin menacingly.
Naruto was terrified. "Those eyes…"
Daichi was rather calm as he recognized something in those eyes. "Naruto, I need you to stay with us. You need to be strong. Gaara knows nothing but sadness and loneliness. You were like that, but your life has taken a different turn."
Naruto was still scared, but now he looked at Gaara's eyes closer than he did before seeing what Daichi meant. The knuckle head had seen that emptiness, loneliness, and sadness many times before when he was younger and looked in a mirror.
Naruto grit his teeth. "Gaara, I see it now. You've been lost in the darkness and no one lent you a hand. No one brought you into the light." He looked up. "I'll extend my hand and pull you into the light. We don't have to fight."
Daichi nodded his head in agreement. "Naruto's right. We don't have to fight."
Sasuke looked at them once more but choose not to speak.
"Friendship is a trivial emotion that clouds your judgment and makes you weak. Neither of you understand what real strength is." Gaara stated. "Not like the Uchiha and I."
"You have no idea what you're talking about." Daichi stated. "Sasuke's already our friend."
Gaara screamed out again before lunching at them from his branch. Sasuke and Daichi scattered, but Naruto was frozen in place.
"Naruto!" Daichi shouted.
The Fusion member stopped on his branch and lunged at Gaara slamming into the Jinchuriki. Both were falling to the ground.
"Catch!" Sasuke shouted.
He threw down a kunai with some Ninja wire and Daichi caught it. The Uchiha held it as the Fusion member swung around the trunk of the tree and up to Sasuke's branch. Together, they then jumped to Naruto's branch.
"Dobe, are we just going to keep trading roles of scaredy cat or are you going to help us!?" Sasuke punched Naruto in the face knocking him down. "I'm telling that I'm done being afraid of guys like him and Orochimaru!"
Naruto looked up at him before feeling his face. Gaara then jumped up to a branch across from them.
Daichi drew his katanas while keeping his eyes on their opponent. "Okay, this guy does not know when to quit."
Naruto knew he couldn't let his friends fight alone anymore, so he activated his Ultra Instinct. "Sorry guys. I momentarily lost my way." He rushed past Daichi and jumped at Gaara slamming a foot into Gaara's face knocking him into another branch. "I'm with you two."
Gaara gripped the branch he hit as he began to fall and swung up to it. Sasuke and Daichi moved to the same branch as their teammate.
"Let's do this already." Sasuke quickly wove hand signs. "Fireball Jutsu!"
A fireball nailed Gaara just as he extended his arm up to their branch. It didn't do much to him at this point. The Sand Shinobi pulled himself back up to their branch and swung his arm out hitting the three boys. The Leaf Genin landed safely on their own branches ready to fight.
With Kakashi, Guy, and Zabuza
The Jonin were cleaning house and drawing in enemy shinobi wanting to take them down. The more they defeated, the more they fought. None of the three were anywhere near exhausted as they continued to fight together.
Guy punched a guy hard into a wall. "20." Another Shinobi tried to jump at him only to be met with a kick. "21."
A Shinobi stabbed Kakashi with a kunai only for him to use the Substitution Jutsu and knock the guy out.
Two Shinobi jumped at Kakashi, but Gai jumped into the air spinning into them. "Leaf Hurricane!" He landed back-to-back with his rival. "Kakashi, how many have you taken down?"
"22." Kakashi stated.
Guy smiled. "Looks like I win another round. I got 23."
Three Shinobi surrounded them only for Zabuza to come in and slice them in half. "I got 24."
They then moved to the stairs as another group confronted them.
"You brought back one heck of a Shinobi, Kakashi." Guy stated happily. "He lives up to his tittle."
The three Jonin continued cleaning house.
Forest
"Alright guys, it's time to get serious." Daichi declared as he wove hand signs. "Lion's Will: 15%."
By going lower, he could maintain the Jutsu longer.
"Since the Chunin the exams are canceled, there's no point in holding anything back." Sasuke wove the hand signs. "Sharingan!" He then crossed his arms. "Gate of Opening, Open!"
"Together!" Naruto shouted.
The three Genin were all moving faster than before as they attacked Gaara with kicks, punches and palm strikes in Daichi's case. It was a barrage from three sides that Gaara was having trouble keeping up with.
The Sand Genin spun swinging his arms and tail. All three Genin were struck, but they managed to stay on the branch. Sasuke then began charging lightning to his hand while Naruto and Daichi were weaving hand signs.
"Water Style: Water Shuriken Jutsu." Naruto declared.
"Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu." Daichi stated.
Sasuke held out his hand containing lightning. "Lightning Beast Tracking Fang."
Shuriken made of water and a powerful amount of water were fired at Gaara while a wolf of lightning came forth. Gaara jumped into the air avoiding the water, but the wolf was connected to Sasuke who had it launch into air hitting the Sand Genin.
Gaara landed and reeled from the lightning; however, he was soon standing as the sand worked to cover his upper body. "Yes." Gaara laughed. "Prove my existence through your blood!"
"We need something more if we're going to win." Naruto remembered the Summoning Jutsu. "This uses up a lot of Chakra, but the Chief Toad may just be what we need." Naruto wove the signs, bit his thumb, and slammed his hand down. "Summoning Jutsu."
Sasuke and Daichi both looked at Naruto and immediately sweat dropped as he summoned a tiny, reddish-orange frog. "What do you want kid? Well, whatever it is, I hope you brought me some treats because I'm not doing something for nothing."
"Give me a break!" Naruto angrily exclaimed. "I'm really starting to hate you frogs!"
Sasuke sighed. "He has the Summoning Jutsu yet summons a small fry that can't help us."
Naruto continued arguing with the frog despite the situation.
Daichi couldn't help but sigh. "Looks like it's my turn to try something." He began charging his chakra. "Lion's Will: 25%." The Fusion member then wove some hand signs causing his arm to become cloaked in uncontrolled Chakra before he lept at the sand Shinobi. "Lion's Devastation!"
He nailed Gaara in the gut knocking launching him off the branch. The monster shot an arm up grabbing Daichi and dragging him down with him.
Sasuke saw this and immediately acted. "Gate of Healing, open!"
The second gate opened, and the Uchiha used Chakra Control to get underneath the branch of the tree. He then jumped off it straight at Gaara delivering a powerful axe kick which sent the monster hurdling into the ground. This also forced the Sand Genin to release Daichi.
The Fusion member then managed to catch the nearby tree. He then climbed up it as Gaara, who would just not stay down, focused on Naruto stretching his arms up. Daichi and Sasuke finally made it back to a branch while Gaara moved to tear the tree down.
The frog, who was now at Naruto's side, looked up at him. "Boy, you are pathetic."
"Shut up!" Naruto angrily shouted.
Naruto scooped the frog up and jumped to the branch his teammates were on before Gaara tore down the tree he had been on.
The frog looked at Gaara. "So, who is this freak anyways?"
"Yes, you will all prove my existence!" Gaara exclaimed.
Suddenly, Gaara went through his largest change yet becoming a huge, sandy-brown tanuki with markings all over its face, body, and tail. It has a jagged, concave mouth with no tongue. The sclerae of its eyes are black, with yellow irises and pupils that each take the shape of a black, four-pointed star with black dots around it.
"What is that?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto and Daichi broke away from each other.
Daichi yelled. "Sasuke, get over here!"
Sasuke moved to stand next to Daichi. "What's going on?"
"Naruto and I have a way to combat that thing." Daichi replied before looking at Naruto. "Hopefully."
Both Naruto and Daichi made the signs, bit their thumbs, and slammed their hands down. "Summoning Jutsu!"
Hokage and Mizukage vs Orochimaru, Near the Beginning of the Crush…
Orochimaru, holding Sarutobi, was chuckling while Mei was watching the events carefully.
Orochimaru then let Sarutobi go and walked a few steps away. "It's interesting, isn't it? After so long, things will finally begin to move again. That to me is much better than the stillness of the past years. The destruction of the Leaf is the first step in continuing this motion."
Sarutobi tipped his hat slightly. "I see you haven't changed at all."
"This will be most interesting. Not only do I get to face you in battle, but I'll be able to challenge the esteemed Mizukage as well. It is truly my lucky day." Orochimaru stated with glee.
"Lady Mizukage, I know I may be asking much, but can I count on your assistance in this battle?" Sarutobi asked without taking his eyes off Orochimaru.
"I'll need a moment to prepare. It's not every day you get to battle one of the Legendary Yonnin." Mei stated with a smile.
"I'll keep him busy." Sarutobi stated.
Sarutobi and Orochimaru removed their robes revealing their battle garments. Both let their Chakra run a bit wild causing the roof to crack. Mei removed both her scrolls and summoned forth two great swords.
Sarutobi threw a shuriken and made the appropriate hand signs. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Orochimaru made his own hand sign and slammed his hand on the ground. "Summoning Jutsu: Reanimation. 1st."
"I've heard of this Jutsu." Mei stated.
The Third threw shuriken at Orochimaru.
"And 2nd." Orochimaru declared causing Sarutobi's shuriken to imbed themselves in the coffins.
"I cannot believe he summoned those two to aid him." Sarutobi thought disgusted at his former student's disrespect.
The coffins popped open revealing the 1st and 2nd Hokage.
The First Hokage was a tall man with tanned skin and dark eyes. He had waist-length black hair typically styled in a center-parted fringe that framed his face. His attire consists of dark red armor worn over a simple black suit with sandals.
The Second Hokage was a fair-skinned man with silver, shaggy hair and dark-colored eyes. He had three red markings on his face. One under each of his eyes and one on his chin. He wore blue armor with a distinctive white fur collar over a simple, black suit.
"I'm not going to let you use such fetching men against their own village." Mei stated determined.
The Mizukage ran to Orochimaru's side and swung her swords down; however, the Yonnin jumped into the air and threw the control kunai into the two Kage before landing.
"You demon." Sarutobi was frozen in place until he began to tear up at seeing two of the people he respected most. "They look exactly how I remember them."
Mei jumped back to Sarutobi's side. "Don't get distracted Lord Hokage."
"Sorry, Lady Mizukage." He took a calming breath. "When you get to my age, you tend to be a sentimental old fool."
The two former Hokage walked over the coffin lids and came to stand before the two, living Kage. The dead then rushed forward. The First engaged Sarutobi in Taijutsu while the Second did the same to Mei.
The Mizukage began slashing at the 2nd Hokage who was able to effectively dodge and kick her in the gut sending her skidding along the roof. Sarutobi was put on the defensive by the First, but he soon saw his chance.
The 3rd grabbed the 1st's legs and threw him into the 2nd Hokage. Mei took advantage of this slicing clean through the two of them. The pair just reformed. The 1st Hokage kicked her in the gut while the 2nd followed up with a punch to the face knocking her over to Sarutobi.
"You're good with the blades Mizukage, but these two have yet to get serious." Sarutobi stated.
She looked at him. "Think they're fighting against this?"
"More than likely or Orochimaru is having them hold back on purpose." Sarutobi stated. "Either way, do not let your guard down." He wove hand signs. "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb."
He shot a huge blast of intense fire.
The 2nd made his own hand signs. "Water Style. Water Wall."
A huge wall of water appeared dissipating the flames and causing Sarutobi to stop his attack.
"Lightning Style: Raging Lightning." Mei declared shooting a continuous bolt that instantly took to the water and shocked the reanimated Kage.
The 2nd Kage dropped his Jutsu and the 1st instantly performed one of his own causing the roof to shake. "Sacred Earth Jutsu." He put his hands together like he was praying. "Deep Forest Creation."
Trees began to grow and spring up around the roof lifting the two Kage up. They jumped from branch to branch as it grew avoiding roots that attempted to grab them
"We're going to need more help." Mei looked at Sarutobi as he bit his thumb, made the signs, and slammed his hand on the ground. "Summoning Jutsu: Monkey King Enma."
A humanoid monkey with white fur appeared. His attire consisted of a black suit with mesh armor underneath over which he wears a sleeveless kimono shirt with white fur trim. He also has markings reminiscent of tiger stripes, and it is held closed by a red sash.
"That pesky monkey Enma." Orochimaru commented.
Enma walked forward and looked down at Orochimaru. "It's you again. I should have known this would happen." He then looked back at Sarutobi and took notice of the Mist Kage who was at his side. "You should have killed him when you had the chance Sarutobi."
"Better late than never." Sarutobi shot back.
Enma closed his eyes. "Heh, it's too late now."
"Enma, transform into the Adamantine Staff!" Sarutobi exclaimed.
"Stop him now." Orochimaru ordered. "Do not let him transform."
The reanimated Kage made their move running at Enma, but Mei stood in their path stabbing them through their chest. She quickly jumped back as Enma, now in staff form, flew into Sarutobi's hands.
Mei made a hand sign. "Now!"
The two swords exploded tearing the two Kage apart. She instantly summoned two more to replace them while the Hokage reformed.
"This is all just so interesting." Orochimaru produced a sword from his mouth. "Now, let's have some fun.
Orochimaru charged at Sarutobi attempting to cut him, but he blocked the attack. From there, they launched into a flurry of attacks that the other blocked. Eventually, Orochimaru was forced to block a jab locking them in place for the moment
The reanimated Kage attempted to interrupt until Mei appeared before them. She kept them away from the fight by swinging her swords at them rapidly. Orochimaru dropped his sword and ducked under the staff. He then moved right and jumped back before facing off with his Sensei.
"Poor old man." Orochimaru stated with false sympathy. "You're far from your prime in terms of fighting strength."
He then laughed which unsettled the Third Hokage. "Why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing because I find it funny. You have only grown weaker with age while I continue to grow stronger." Orochimaru happily stated.
He then removed his face shocking both Mei and Sarutobi as Orochimaru now had the face of a young woman. In that moment, Mei was kicked by the first Hokage hard enough to send her tumbling along the ground. She got to her feet and combatted the Kage again.
"What is this?!" Sarutobi yelled. "Who are you?!"
Orochimaru's voice was now that of a girl's. "You have lost your touch old man. Don't you recognize me? I'm still Orochimaru."
"I-It can't be. Then you've mastered even that Forbidden Jutsu?!" Sarutobi exclaimed in shock.
Orochimaru giggled. "It's been 10 years of hard work since I left the village."
"You're no longer human!" Sarutobi exclaimed. "You are a demon!" Orochimaru broke out laughing with glee. "This is why I could never choose you to be the 4th Hokage. Your mind is sick and twisted."
This stirred up Sarutobi's memories of the day he set foot in Orochimaru's first lab and heard his student speak of immortality.
"I see it has dawned on you. This Jutsu I have mastered allows me to claim a body for my spirit to live in. In truth, it's more of a revival. Now, I must really thank you and all of the Leaf Village for preparing my next vessel."
It dawned on Sarutobi. "You mean Sasuke Uchiha."
"Exactly." Orochimaru licked his lips. "You guessed it. It's Sasuke I want."
"How many bodies have you taken?" Sarutobi angrily asked knowing this was his fault for not ending things earlier. "How many lives have you snuffed out?"
Orochimaru thought about it for a moment. "Two or three currently, but I'll wait for Sasuke. I'll wait until he's been raised and trained to my liking." Orochimaru replaced his face. "Only then will I take his body.
"This ends now Orochimaru. Mizukage, to my side!" Sarutobi ordered.
Mei complied and the two reanimated Kage came to stand beside Orochimaru.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu." Sarutobi declared creating two clones of himself after he set Enma down.
All Sarutobi's then made the same set of hand signs "Reaper Death Seal." Sarutobi looked behind him and saw the reaper. "It's just as Minato said. The reaper appears invisible to all, but the caster."
"Whatever you're planning, it's too late. Your little friend there is worn out and beat down. You are in no better shape." Orochimaru stated triumphantly. "The Leaf Village will fall."
Sarutobi smiled. "That is where you're wrong Orochimaru. You shall be the one who falls. I will put my life on the line for this village.
"What a pointless statement. The village is just a cluster of huts waiting to be torn down." Orochimaru stated.
"You never understood what the village really was. It's a place where every year Shinobi are born, raised, fight, grow old, and die to protect their home." Sarutobi said determined as memories of all the villagers flashed through his mind.
"It's easy to see why he's the Hokage." Mei thought with respect.
"All these people may not share my blood, but they are my family. To me, they are the most precious thing in my life. I will protect them all. I will protect my family. Now behold as I perform a Jutsu you haven't seen before. Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal."
Sarutobi's two clones rushed forward. Each placed their hands on one of the reanimated Hokage. The reaper then passed through their hands and latched onto the reanimated Kage's souls drawing their souls out. They were then quickly sealed away.
"Forgive us Sarutobi." The 1st Hokage said with a sad smile.
"We have made your life difficult." The 2nd Hokage stated with the same, sad smile.
Sarutobi closed his eyes. "Please forgive me 1st Lord Hokage and 2nd Lord Hokage." In mere moments, the seals were complete. "Now seal!"
With the seals gone, the bodies crumbled away revealing two of the Sound Genin sent to participate in the Chunin Exams.
"How dare you sacrifice your own people!" Mei exclaimed angrily. "That's not what a Kage is supposed to do!"
Sarutobi was crying for the fallen Genin. "She is right Orochimaru. You were meant to guide them, yet you played with them like they were…"
Sarutobi was forcibly stopped as Orochimaru moved his hands causing the sword, still abandoned on the ground, to stab him in the back. Sarutobi's eyes were wide as he turned his head to look at his former student.
"I think that's enough of that nonsense." Orochimaru stated with a creepy smile.
"Damn it. I can't do the seal… on him… now." Sarutobi thought while coughing up blood and falling to the ground.
"Sarutobi! No!" Enma yelled while changing back into his monkey form.
He ran at Orochimaru and grabbed the Yonnin before proceeding to smash Orochimaru into the ground multiple times. He eventually threw the snake and Mei caught him by the arms.
"I'm done with you Orochimaru. That man was your Sensei." Mei's hands began to spark. "I'm going to make sure that you can never use another Jutsu."
Electricity flowed from Mei into Orochimaru's arms, and the lighting never went any further than that. Orochimaru was screaming in pain as the lightning hit his Chakra Network. Soon, Mei fell to the ground exhausted as Orochimaru's arms fell to his sides useless.
"No!" Orochimaru shouted in pain and anger. "How dare you take my Jutsus from me!"
Mei smiled as she passed out from Chakra exhaustion.
"My arms… I can't feel my arms." Orochimaru lamented.
Ukon, one of Orochimaru's elite guards, worriedly shouted, "No! Lord Orochimaru!"
"Our mission has failed. Release the barrier. Take me back." Orochimaru ordered.
All four of his guards made the hand sign. "Release."
They picked up their lord and jumped off the roof leaving the village. Enma wanted to chase him, but he knew he couldn't leave Sarutobi.
Land of Fire: Forest, Present…
Naruto stood on Gamabunta's head while Daichi, panting from all the chakra he's had to use throughout the day, and Sasuke stood on The Great Beast King's head. Across from them stood Gaara who was embedded in the head of the sand monster.
"Note to self." Daichi thought. "Start carrying more Food Pills."
Sasuke looked at the summons. "They have the ability to summon!?"
The Beast King began to ask, "Why have you summoned…" He stopped when he noticed Shukaku standing before them. "I see Kit."
"So, you'll help us fight?" Daichi asked.
The Beast King smiled. "Frankly, I'd have been mad if you hadn't summoned me. It's not every day I get the chance to challenge one of the tailed beasts."
What about you Chief Toad?" Naruto cheerfully asked. "Will you fight alongside us?"
Gamabunta blew out some smoke. "Take a hike."
Naruto was shocked. "What?!"
"I'm not some battle crazed lion that wants to take on a guy like that." Gamabunta stated. "Tosu can handle this."
"Are you kidding me?!" Naruto started smacking Gamabunta's head in frustration. "You already told me you'd make me your henchman, right?! It's only natural that a boss would want to help his henchmen, isn't it?! I mean, Daichi's summon is going to help him!"
Gamabunta closed his eyes. "Yeah, I told you I'd make you my henchman, but we haven't even sealed the deal, have we?"
Naruto was angry and frustrated. "I'm not old enough to make any deal yet! What's the matter with you?!"
Sasuke sighed. "Great. Naruto's Summon doesn't want to help him."
Gamakichi jumped on top of Naruto's head. "Ah come on pops, don't be like that. Why don't you just settle down and hear the kid out?"
Naruto was confused. "Huh, pops?"
"Just what do you think you're doing here Gamakichi?" Gamabunta asked.
Gamakichi shrugged. "I had nothing better to do, so I decided to hang out."
Naruto was still confused. "You're father and son?"
Gamakichi continued ignoring Naruto's question. "By the way pops, that ugly lug was picking on me before."
Gamabunta narrowed his eyes. "Come again?"
Gamakichi said, "Yeah, he almost hit me, but this kid came to my rescue. Him and his friends then went toe to toe with that monster. I'm tellin' ya pop, there's a heck of a lot more to this kid than meets the eye."
"Is that right?" Gamabunta placed his hand on his sword and began to draw it. "Okay kid, you're officially my henchmen." He turned to look at the Beat King. "Let's show this monster what us summons can do."
The Beast King said, "I get to launch the first attack."
Gamabunta nodded. "Fine by me."
"Hold on Kit." The Great Beast King stated to Daichi.
"Sasuke, Chakra Control!" Daichi ordered.
The Beast King charged in and rammed Shukaku pushing him back a few feet. The Beast King then used his claws to tear away one of Tailed Beast's arms sending it crashing into the ground. Shukaku swung his remaining arm at the Beast King.
The Great Beast King jumped over Shukaku landing on the ground. That's when Gamabunta made his move. He charged in and managed to cut the other arm off. The frog summon then landed next to the Great Beast King. The sword itself was no longer in his grasp.
The Beast King thought, "That sand is tough."
"I barely managed to make that cut." Gamabunta thought.
"I must thank all of you for entertaining me today." Gaara stated. "That is why I will show you the true spirit of the sand."
Gaara used a Jutsu to force himself to sleep awakening Shukaku as his arms began to reform. "I'm finally free! Here I come baby!"
"So that's, the one tailed beast?" Naruto stated shocked
Shukaku said, "Here we go. I hope you're ready to die."
Gamabunta said, "I'm going to jump."
Shukaku said, "Wind Style: Air bullet."
Gamabunta jumped into the air. "Liquid Style: Water Bullet."
The Beast King ran to the left side of Shukaku. "Inferno Style: Fire Bullet."
The air bullet and water bullet met in the air while Shukaku took the full force of the fire bullet. The smoke cleared, yet there was no major damage to Shukaku other than some sand turned glass falling to the ground. Gamabunta landed, and the summons observed their opponent.
"There's only one way we're going to beat him. We have to wake the medium, but I don't think he'll stand still for long." Gamabunta explained.
"If that's the way to beat him, leave it to us." Daichi stated. "The Beast King can keep him in place with his claws. Naruto, once we have him held down, wake him up." He looked at Sasuke. "If Gaara still wants a fight, we back Naruto up as he finishes this."
Sasuke nodded. "Got it."
Naruto nodded. "Right."
"Let's move Beast King!" Daichi exclaimed.
The Beast King said, "You got it."
The lion ran at Shukaku, avoiding more bullets, and got behind him. The lion then stood on his legs and came down on Tailed Beast shoulders digging his front claws in and his hind claws into the ground. For good measure, he even bit down on the tailed beast' neck making it scream.
Daichi shouted, "Now's your chance Naruto!"
Gamabunta got in close and Naruto jumped off his head. "Rise and Shine!"
He punched Gaara in the face waking him up and causing the demon to recede into Gaara, but the giant form remained.
"Impossible!" Gaara exclaimed.
Daichi shouted, "Finish this Naruto!"
Naruto's nine tail Chakra whipped up around him as he headbutted Gaara with everything he had. Blood came forth from their foreheads and the giant form of Shukaku fell apart. Naruto and Gaara were now in free fall.
"I got Naruto!" Sasuke declared.
"I got Gaara!" Daichi yelled.
Sasuke and Daichi jumped after both Genin managing to catch them and safely land on the ground.
Gamabunta said, "A simple headbutt, huh? He's not the most elegant fighter, but he got the job done. It's time for us to go Gamakichi."
Gamakichi said, "Right pops."
"The Kit didn't do too bad." The Beast King chuckled. "Reminds me of a couple of fools before him."
The summon vanished and Daichi laid Gaara down before jumping back to his friends. Gaara then stood up.
"Gaara, it's over." Naruto declared. "We shouldn't even be doing this because we're a lot alike. More than you think."
Gaara got ready to charge them, so Sasuke stepped forward while got ready to do the same. Daichi put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder and nodded at Naruto. The Uchiha relaxed before the two Jinchuriki charged each other. Gaara threw a punch, but Naruto avoided him. The Uzumaki then delivered a powerful uppercut to Gaara's face laying him out flat.
