Hello readers welcome to the next chapter of my story. Now just to let you know for the last chapter I clearly skipped over Itachi and Kisame. This was on purpose. You see while it was a good part to show off team Guy I don't really want it here. This is because for Naruto meeting Itachi the whole point is for him to learn about genjutsu which in this story he learned about on his travels. Next with the fact that both of them were created using Orochimaru's technique I have no idea how they even got them/control them seeing as Tobi didn't have access to them until Kabuto came in…I am sure people will message me about this but that is my reasoning

Chapter 62

~Team Gai; different places~

Each member of the team stared down the clone of themselves ready for a fight even thought they all were quite surprised by the fact that their opponents were themselves.

"Ya know that of all the shit we could face I have to admit this wasn't even on the list of what I expected." Tenten thought trying to figure out how this was even possible. Still, she was well aware that this really wasn't the time for too much thinking so she quickly pushed those thoughts away. Instead she pulled out several kunai and quickly launched them at her clone only for it to do the same thing perfectly.

*sigh* "This is going to be annoying isn't it?" She muttered preparing herself for a real fight. Afterall no one ever has a plan ready to beat themselves.

Meanwhile the rest of her team were having similar thoughts and experiences all around the area. They all just prepared themselves for anything that this thing could do while hoping the other group would be fine without their back up for a while.

~Naruto and group~

As soon as Naruto saw Deidara sitting on Gaara and treating his body so poorly he quickly felt rage bubble up inside of him.

"No. Naruto you have to be calm. Remember what Jiraiya told you. The beast feeds on my rage and the more I allow it to take hold the worse its hold is on me." Naruto tells himself mentally trying to calm his thoughts as much as he could.

"Hmm, it seems Itachi doesn't know his target all that well." Deidara thinks a bit annoyed remembering the man's words

~"The Kyuubi host will be the first one to show rage at you for killing Gaara. He will most likely attack you soon after he sees said containers body." ~

"Che, bastard could have given at least a description before he cut off his connection. Guess the shit doesn't want us taking his bounty that he has failed to collect several times now…but too fucken bad…maybe if I just stir the pot a bit" He thinks with an evil smirk.

"G-gaara" Temari muttered truly heartbroken to see her brother's fate.

Deidara just chuckles a bit. "Sorry little girl but the deed is done already." He told her with a smile. "This sandy bastard put up a good fight but in the end was just as pitiful as the rest of you hopeless fools…I still don't know how this demon ever made his village think he was worth having as a kage." He adds with his grin staying on his face. A grin that got even bigger as he saw various levels of anger in the groups members. Though he quickly noticed one that's eyes almost seemed to have red bleeding into them.

"You bastard!" Naruto growled out with thoughts of calming down pushed out of his mind.

"And it looks like we found the demon." Deidara thinks happily before standing up and quickly creating a clay bird in his hands. Said bird quickly expanded hundreds of times over until it was big enough to easily pick Gaara's body up into its mouth. He then jumps onto the bird and takes off out of the cave.

"Grr. You aren't going to escape." Naruto tells him quickly chasing after him.

"Damn it! I thought that he grew past these stupid spur of the moment mistakes…he is going to get someone killed!" Kakashi thinks annoyed but quickly follows after the blond with Sai following after him. Meanwhile Chiyo, Sakura, and Temari all stayed still simply watching as the other Akatsuki member stood perfectly still in the cave…or at least they assumed he was standing.

_Naruto_

Currently Naruto was quickly keeping pace with the bird he was following while his eyes slowly became taken over by red filling them with malice.

"Yes nigen feel that anger. Let it consume you…" the Kyuubi tells him with a smirk on his face as he happily allowed his chakra to be fed to Naruto; which was so filled with malice that it only added to his rage. Soon enough this led to Naruto beginning to have chakra visibly bubbling up on his skin as he sped up.

"Rah!" Naruto growled out as he launched himself at the bird getting close enough to leave a gash on the bird's side.

"Damn kid is fast I will give him that Deidara mutters as he willed his creation to go faster. Fully planning on letting Naruto tire himself out a decent bit simply through trying to attack him…after all he wouldn't go lethal with 'precious' cargo right underneath him. He then watches as Naruto fully enters some sort of cloak form that seemed to have mixed with his bloodline and create a demonic armor set. Complete with claws on either of his hands. "Well, I haven't heard of a stage one transformation quite like that before" He adds while still pushing his bird to travel as fast as it possibly could away from the enraged. Both to tire him out and to make sure as much of the help that could possibly come after him was as far away as possible.

Meanwhile Kakashi and Sai just followed along a decent way behind both of them simply trying to keep up with Naruto as he sped off.

"Damn it Naruto of all things for you to fall back on it just had to be making such stupid mistakes like letting your anger get to you…oh great now he is already forming the cloak. I guess I will have to use the seal that Jiraiya-sama gave me after all. I just hope I can get place it on him before he reaches too many tails." Kakashi thinks still annoyed with his student.

While he was thinking this, he wasn't paying much attention to Sai who slowly let himself lag behind even Kakashi but not enough so that he couldn't see Naruto.

"Lord Danzo did say that the jinchuriki was brash and seemingly unstable but this is surprising. All it takes to unleash the beast is a few jabs at his friends. We could possibly use this to collect the beast finally…I must let Lord Danzo know. But first let's see what a rampaging tool can really do." Sai thinks without a hint of emotion crossing his face. He was fully ready to simply let Naruto release every bit of the beast. After all he was given a scroll with a seal that is said to be powerful enough to hold a biju for at least a few hours. He just hoped that the Akatsuki member and possibly Kakashi would be either gone or distracted enough that he could leave without too much opposition. Though he was well aware that if this did happen, he would gain a decent bounty on his head forcing him to wear a root mask for the rest of his service under Danzo.

So, with this in mind all of them kept on going through the woods until finally Kakashi decided that the problem was only getting worse if they got much farther away from any of their allies. With that in mind he pulled up his headband and opened his sharingan eye for the first time in a while. He then focused completely on Deidara's torso while his eye changed. He then forced a large amount of chakra to the eye and watched as a portal began to form right on his target. Sadly, though at this point said man changed directions ever so slightly to dodge a tree brining his focus to rest on the man's arm instead as the portal finally opened up.

Due to this instead of ending the chase completely he was only able to sever one of the man's arms as it was forced into the portal. Still, this had some desirable affects. For due to the immense pain and surprise Deidara faced with suddenly losing his arm his focus was destroyed making his clay construct in turn slow down. A fact that Naruto quickly capitalized on as he sent a slash of chakra at the clay bird decapitating it and letting gravity take its effect on the situation.

The heavy head of the beast with Deidara quickly plummeted straight to the ground with only some skidding due to the velocity it was moving at. Meanwhile the body kept traveling past this point due to the remain chakra in it slowly fading as it came to a crash somewhere behind where the head was.

"Damn it." Deidara growls out as he got his footing back on solid ground just before Naruto came rushing at him now standing like a beast on all fours as the first tail swayed around his rear end. "Just great…whatever the fuck that thing was not only cost me a fucking arm but also lost me my range. Now I have to fight the strongest damn beast up close when I am a long-range fighter." Deidara thinks annoyed. For Gaara truly was the best opponent he could have got being more of a long-range fighter as well. Now that the fight was closer, he would have to make sure that none of his explosions ended up hurting him in the process. Luckily for him he did have one part going for him…Gaara was still completely wrapped up in his explosive clay laying just behind him. "Now hey their Kyuubi brat. I am sure you would just love to charge at me and rip me to shreds…but remember I still have your pal in here. And if you happen to give it some chakra it might just activate my clay." He tells Naruto with a smirk quickly pulling of a small chunk of clay and threw it to the side where he quickly made it explode. "Heh, come on brat take the bait. My clay may need my chakra to activate it's explosive qualities but you don't know that…just stay over there and let me take care of you." Deidara thinks with a smirk on his face. He then quickly forms a few clay birds that quickly fly over to Naruto and detonate making Naruto jump to the side in-order to avoid the blast. Though he didn't take a step closer to Deidara making the man smirk. "Got you." Deidara thinks gleefully as he goes to work creating not only explosives to attack Naruto but also several to go hid themselves and wait for Naruto to make a wrong move. This battle was back on his terms just where he liked it. This continued for several minutes with Naruto just dodging all of the various bombs while occasionally hitting one of the traps that were places causing him damage but were quickly healed up by the massive amount of chakra going through his system. A fact that was only making the blond feel even more rage as the stalemate continued this way. Course what he didn't think about was the fact that he in fact would win if this was all Deidara did seeing as he could last a lot longer than the man. But sadly, the malice of the biju's chakra already was warping his mind into more rage than anything else.

Thankfully though it seems Kakashi decided to prevent this as the man rushed at Deidara with a lighting enhanced kunai. An attack that was easily dodged by the S rank man who simply stepped to the side of the telegraphed swing. Though much to Deidara's surprised instead of continuing his assault Kakashi continued going past him until he reached the head of the bird behind him.

"Shit." Deidara mutters quickly realizing Kakashi's plan but was too slow to stop the kunai from piercing the birds clay flesh pushing lighting chakra through the structure.

"Well would you look at that. It doesn't explode when it isn't your chakra." Kakashi says happily making Deidara growl and throw a centipede at him that he made no effort to dodge. Instead, he created several shadow clones that spread out around the head just before the creation landed on him.

"Katsu!" Deidara called out making his bug explode soon after it attached to Kakashi. "And now it is back to just you and me Kyuubi brat!" Deidara tells the blond happy that he killed one of the distractions around him.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." They both heard and much to Deidara's surprise Kakashi came out from hiding in the trees calmly. "You wouldn't think I would be dumb enough to send the real me into a battle of unknowns would you?" Kakashi asks teasingly. As he looks over the battle field. His happiness soon fades when he realizes that Naruto was already deep enough in the rage and malice; he was feeling to not have even reacted to his friend coming 'back to life'. "This has to end before the other tails form." Kakashi thinks sadly as his clones finally shunshin to a thick branch a bit behind him making Deidara's eyes widen in realization.

"This bastard tricked me into taking my advantage away!" He thinks angry that he let himself be fooled.

"Now he is wide open Naruto take him out while you have the chance." Kakashi orders the teen who seems to ignore him completely. Though this quickly changed as he saw Naruto quickly create a one handed rasengan and launch over to Deidara. He then slams the ball into the man's gut grinding a clear grove in his flesh. Finally, after a few seconds of this grinding Deidara's body was launch through a tree and landed a few yards away from the blond. Only instead of showing a dead man the bodies color faded away showing him to be nothing but a clay figure himself. A fact that made Naruto growl out in rage and soon everyone saw his second tail form behind him as he jumped to where the clay body was and began to hit it several times making its body nothing but paste.

"Che, stupid beast. Katsu!" Deidara calls out happily after pulling himself out of the ground a dozen yards or so away from him causing a massive explosion around Naruto. He then quickly reached into his pouch to grab more clay that his hand mouth began to chew as he waited for the smoke to clear. "Oh for fucks sake…" he couldn't help but mutter as he saw Naruto appear out of the smoke perfectly fine. In fact, it seems like he completely shielded himself from the explosion some how even though he was right on top of it with some sort of chakra translucent red ball. "Well if the bastard is cocky enough to think a simple shield will protect him from me I better step this up a notch to prove him wrong" Deidara thinks preparing to use his C-2 explosives rather than 1. He then pulls his hand out and smiles as several mouth-like creatures were now there.

"Let's see you survive this!" Deidara calls out letting the bugs fly off of his palm and quickly sped towards Naruto who didn't move out of his complete chakra shield even as they landed on the ball and walked around on top of it. "Katsu!" Deidara screams out causing an explosion that was at least two times as big even though he clearly used only a miniscule portion of his explosive clay. The man then smiles as he saw Naruto be blown away through several trees now sporting burns all over his body. Though much to his annoyance they all quickly began to disappear from the teens body as he rushed at Deidara. They then began a taijutsu fight with Naruto clawing and slashing like a wild animal that Deidara's semi-sloppy techniques somehow managed to push away each.

"Good even if he is acting way more brazen then he usually does at least he finally is facing a long-range fighter the way he should. Now let's help him end this before Deidara manages to get enough space again." Kakashi thinks not wanting to see what a large constructs explosive power would be if made of the more powerful clay. Especially seeing as there was no way to truly tell how strong the explosions would be until they finally happened. With that in mind he launched himself into the fight pushing Deidara back due to his clear lack of balance between his combat ranges. A fact that led to Kakashi getting a solid blow to Deidara's chest hard enough to knock the wind and some blood from the man.

"Ugh, damn you." Deidara growls out kneeling on the ground with his hand in his pouch as he tried ignore the pain he felt in his chest. He let it continue to eat as much clay as it could in the few seconds it had before he needed to use his one arm to be able to dodge most attacks the two fighters threw at him. One with kunai and precise attacks and the other with chakra claws and frantic mauling attacks.

_ Sai _

While this fight was going on Sai was calmly sitting on a tree branch writing about each technique he saw from both fighters. For while his main focus was Naruto and the fox he wouldn't waste a chance to write about jutsu that could later be possibly reproduced. "Hmm overall the biju's abilities seem to be what people would call frightening. Each and every attack that is done even if it is regular jutsus is magnified to be deadlier than ever imagined…but it seems that the chakra goes to the user's head making them too cocky to avoid easy problems or to dodge attacks that could be dodged by even a gennin. Not to mention that it seems that rage will bring it to be focused on destroying anything even if it is a trap." Sai notes remembering how Naruto jumped on a clay pile even after knowing that his opponent used it as explosives. "Truly while the power is clear to see I wonder why the world fears jinchuriki so much…maybe after being cultivated by someone like Lord Danzo it will be able to be a truly deadly force but right now it seems like it is just a power boost that leads idiots to their grave." Sai noted not caring in the slightest that he called his teammate both an 'it' and an idiot.

~ Back to fight ~

After trying his best to avoid damaged from both of his opponents Deidara finally reached the goal he wanted and gained a mental smirk. He then allowed himself to be hit by yet another blow from Kakashi that sent him to the grown. He then placed his hand on the ground and slowly pushed himself up with it.

"We can end this now if you give us the Akatsuki's secrets." Kakashi offered to Deidara completely serious. For while he was an S class ninja for a reason right now he seemed to have no chance against both a Jinchuriki and a high A class ninja like him…course they would still kill him but only after they squeezed every drop of info they could from him. An idea that was well worth the risk to Kakashi due to the man being clearly rather weak without a chance to use his clay. Something he couldn't do while needing his reaming hand to fend off most of their blows.

*cough* "Fuck you damn scum." Deidara tells him with a cocky smirk he then finally gets completely up from the ground and jumps as far as he could away from them. "I have so much more art to show you before I ever give up!" He tells Kakashi with an insane look as he stuffs his hand back into his pouch.

"Shit." Kakashi mutters knowing that he had to stop him before he could fully produce any explosive constructs and quickly began to run at him until he reached where Deidara was originally trying to get up. As soon as he stepped near it a clay centipede launched out of the ground and would have wrapped around his leg had his sharingan not gave him just enough time to pull his foot away.

"Katsu!" Deidara calls out making the bug explode right in Kakashi's face launching the man back until he slammed into a tree clearly in pain after the explosion hit him dead on. Thankfully it seemed that it was one of his weaker creations seeing as he wasn't in pieces but it still caused a large amount of pain everywhere on the gray-haired man's body. Though what neither men expected was for Naruto's eyes to widen as he saw Kakashi on the ground by the tree.

"N-no not another one…he can't be d-dead." Naruto thinks too worried to notice the obvious signs that Kakashi wasn't.

"Foolish boy. Letting all of those around you die due to your weakness." The Kyuubi tells Naruto who simply looks at the large fox now in his inner world.

"My weakness? I am not weak…after all that training I am a strong enough to beat even jonin!" Naruto tells the fox glaring at him.

"Hahaha you dare call yourself strong? After you let one of your precious people die; and even had the stupidity to have it happen again even after I so nicely fed you some real power." The Kyuubi told him with a laugh that rebounded off the walls.

"I-I didn't…I…he's not dead…I hope…" Naruto tells him as his mind tried informing him of the obvious signs of life from his sensei.

"Can't have that happen when I am so far" Kyuubi thought with a growl as he pushed some more chakra into Naruto making the blond refocus on his inner rage rather than common sense. "Now let me show you what real power can do." The Kyuubi tells him with a smirk as he slowly pushed another tails worth out to Naruto. Something that the blond could have stopped if he focused on his training but instead welcomed the power as it filled him with power that whispered sweet things about death and destruction.

Meanwhile outside of his body Naruto quickly began to form the third tail as the demonic chakra in the air became visible around them.

"Ugh…" Kakashi mentally groans feeling thankfully that there wasn't pieces of him littered around the battle field until he noticed the wisps of red chakra in the area and quickly looked to his student. "Damn it…this fight just got even harder for me…" Kakashi thinks feeling a small amount of fear leak into him as he felt the malice around him. Though he squashed the feeling a few moments after and pulled out the suppression seal that he was given. "I can't let this continue…but if I do it now the chances of Naruto being taken raise drastically." Kakashi thinks with a frown as he simply held the paper. Then after a few moments of thinking about it he reaches back into his pouch and pulls out a soldier pill that he quickly consumes. "I hate to do it but I am going to have to let him rampage for a bit…I am sorry Lord Jiraiya but if I stop him now I don't know if I would be able to stop the Akatsuki from collecting him as easy prey…I'll stop it if he even starts to form the forth tail." Kakashi thinks as he back away from the fight but remained close enough to Naruto that he could place the seal the second he was given no other choice.

He then watched as Deidara pulled his hand out of his pouch yet again with several figures visible in his hand. He then threw one of them at Naruto who leaned to the side and let the small creature shoot right past him. He then tried to launch himself at Deidara only to feel something preventing his movement. He quickly looked behind himself and let a growl out as he noticed the centipede he dodged before was now large and had half its body wrapped around one of his legs while the rest of it was firmly in the ground. A problem he quickly fixed with a quick slash of his claw severing the thing in half though when he looked back at his opponent all he could see was several large clay beasts coming at him.

"Fool! Katsu!" Deidara called out happily as the powerful explosion's shockwave was felt by all three of the people around it. "And there is yet another jinchuriki captured due to my amazing art!" He proclaimed happily as smoke covered the area Naruto was standing. Though due to his celebrating he failed to notice the spike of chakra that came from in the smoke. And even didn't notice the large strand of red chakra launch at him until it cut clean through his only arm. "Ahh damn it!" Deidara screamed as he felt the immense pain. "Damn my cockiness I guess it truly is going to be the death of me…I guess those assholes were right…" Deidara thinks remembering his own past until he looked at the mass of clay that was a ways away from their clearing. "Heh…maybe it won't be" He thinks with a smile as he runs towards the clay mass while Naruto's vision was still blocked by smoke. He simply made sure to dodge the random chakra tendril strikes he now knew were coming randomly from the smoke.

Soon after he reached the creature he quickly bit into the body and began chewing it as fast as he could. A minute or so after he began chewing Naruto appeared a few feet away from him.

"You are too late bastard!" Deidara tells Naruto with a smile and quickly swallowed the clay in his mouth. "Let me show you that no matter what…" Deidara begins to say then visibly expands to a point that would make any clear-thinking ninja nervous. "AN EXPLOSION" he calls out then his body itself blew up in a massive explosion that blew up the entire area leaving a large mark on the forest as trees were both destroyed by the blast and by the shockwave. Still it eventually stopped and showed ground zero of the blast where a glowing red ball could be seen. The ball was dark red and currently had large cracks in it looking as if it was barely holding up. This was until it finally disappeared as well showing Naruto in his Kyuubi cloak still alive somehow much to Kakashi's relief.

The grey-haired man then quickly runs from where he escaped the blast to towards Naruto who was still recovering from the explosion. Due to this he was able to place the seal on the blond's head making the chakra quickly disperse from his body showing the normal blond for a moment before his eyes rolled up in his head and he passed out.

"Few that went surprisingly well with all things taken into consideration." Kakashi mutters seeing as they were both alive and he managed to subdue the Kyuubi before it could take more control over Naruto's body. He then heard someone come up behind him and looked over at Sai who calmly walked over to him. "And where were you this whole time?" Kakashi asked the teen who looked at him with his emotionless stare.

"I was watching the fight just like you were. I just didn't feel safe to jump into a battle of that level." Sai told him simply playing off his lack of help as simply fearing for his life.

"Sure you were." Kakashi mutters narrowing his eyes at the pale teen for a moment not believing him but knowing nothing would come from him reporting it. "Anyways let's connect back with our teammates." Kakashi tells him picking Naruto up and quickly began the trip back to where he left the girls simply hoping they were ok.

~ Explosion area ~

"Haha it worked!" Deidara says happily after pulling himself from the ground he hid in. "Those bastards were completely fooled by my art." He says with a smile but then refocused on what he now needed to do. He knew that zetsu had to be coming to them to help clean up the mess so he had to find the plant-based man to help him before he truly did die from his injuries.

"Kukuku…yes they were." Deidara heard from the forest making him look in the direction the voice came from and his eyes widen as he saw the person who said it. "O-Orochimaru." Deidara mutters feeling fear take hold as he knew that he was completely unable to face an opponent such as him at the moment.

"Good you remember me Deidara-chan" Orochimaru says with a smile as he walked into the clearing and stood in front of the armless man. "Though my how you have changed." Orochimaru told him with a chuckle as he looked at the sad state of the S class ninja.

"Shut up you snake bastard!" Deidara told him with a growl.

"Now now that's no way to talk to an old friend." Orochimaru told him with his smile never leaving his face. "But I will forgive you seeing as I need someone to test my newest project on and you are perfect for this." He tells him as Kabuto comes out of the forest behind him with several people following him. "He seems ready. Start the test." Orochimaru orders Kabuto who smiles at him.

"Of course Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto tells him with the smile never leaving his face. He then snaps his finger and the people following him walked towards Deidara showing that they all had dead eyes as if they were zombies.

"W-what the hell?" Deidara mutters then turns to flee from the strange creatures due to having no way of fighting. Though much to his surprise most of them surrounded him forcing him to stand still. The last one then slowly came to them with its mouth open showing his…its teeth were sharpened to be like a sharks. Deidara then began to fight but was getting no where with his struggles as the creature finally reached him and sunk his teeth deep into his neck.

"Now let's see if our theories are correct shall we." Orochimaru says happily as he watches the event completely focused. "If this works we my work will soon be ready to help me do all I have ever wanted." Orochimaru thinks with his smile staying on his face as he saw black lines begin to form from the bite wound on Deidara's neck.

(AN: I would like to explain the way Naruto is for my thing.

He was enraged so easily even after being actually trained for a few reasons: is the first time he actually witnessed one of his precious people die through battle and be desecrated (didn't see the 'old man's' death) 2. He was already feeling a lot of anger due to having to deal with the Akatsuki and the memories of his past. 3. After he started using some of the Kyuubi's chakra it fed off the anger already in him and its own malice added to it making Naruto more blood thirsty…he will have to work on this at a later date.

Naruto in this story has a bloodline that already lets him mold chakra changing up his use of the biju chakra. For right now his start point of using its chakra makes the chakra armor jutsu he created turn more demonic and in constant use when enough of the biju chakra is flowing through him. Next up until he loses control he will have use of his chakra molding but it will purely use the biju chakra in him. Next his healing which is usually very high is heightened even more thanks to the insane amount of chakra following through him. When he reaches the third tail though he does lose control like in the anime but his body subconsciously forms chakra constructs such as hands like is done in higher tails…they just are more see through and not nearly as strong as if he was truly in tail 4+. He will also be able to create various other things but it will be due to his body feeling the need for said items to be there rather than thinking of how to do it.

And that is where I am going to end this chapter. Now I am sorry if this chapter seems bad to you…no mater how I put Deidara fighting it just didn't seem right to me…this is also because he seems to be one of the 'weaker' members of the Akatsuki. I mean yes he is S class for a reason but you only see him beating Gaara and the rest of the time he gets beat. Not to mention he is a long range fighter mostly being a bomber so is at a huge disadvantage in close range. Anyways its not important really what my opinion is just know that I tried to make the fight with him as decent as I could even if he is my least favorite member. Which is also why I changed his battle up a decent bit. As you can probably tell he won't be coming back several times like he normally did in the anime.

Next off I just found out that in the last chapter/chapters? I spelt his name wrong seeing as I only used a search engine for that one and didn't actually make sure it was the wiki (I got a bit lazy); a mistake I hope I learn from…never trust other places I suppose. Anyways hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving for those that celebrated it. And I hope all who went out on black Friday survived…seriously people act like animals when it comes to 'deals' Well that's it for me this time Ja Ne.
