Jogi Hiko was now in control of Sakura's body. She was an annoying host and would only allow him have so much time. She had such a strong will for such a weak creature he had come to slightly admire it.

Sakura's body smiled under the sand. Jogi Hiko closed his eyes focusing all of his sensors in his body to come alive. If you're watching Sakura let me should you what Filoplume can really do.

Jogi Hiko pushed through the sand to connect his hands. Creating the same signs Sakura had done previously.

Filoplume!

Sakura burst through the sand and lifted up to the sky. Opening the green chakra wings to hold herself in the air.

"I knew you weren't her. WHO ARE YOU?!" Naruto's voice vibrated from the sand. Not wanting to give the ninjas position he stayed out of sight.

Kurama. Sakura's mouth opened but another voice echoed out. Jogi Hiko was speaking to the nail tailed fox that was sealed in Naruto with such command it made Sakura's internal self shiver.

"Nnagghhhhhhh, what are you doing to me?!" Naruto's scream ripped through dessert's night sky.

Kurama. Screams ripped through the air again. Your hurting him! Sakura yelled in her now invisible cage. Kurama, retreat.

Naruto came out of hiding stumbling toward Jogi Hiko. Breathing heavily. The darkness that had wrapped itself around him was subdued no longer covering him, but retreating back into his skin. Only a small portion remained.

"Why can't I call on Kurama? What did you do to him?"

That is because I told him to leave you for a moment. Don't worry he is persistent, he will come back. I needed to talk to you without the rage. Sakura couldn't believe what she was experiencing. Jogi Hiko had managed to retreat one of the tailed beasts with just words? How strong was this creature?

"There is still RAGE. I DONT NEED MY DEMON TO FIGHT THE LIKES OF YOU!"

Can you fight like a demon? Without borrowing the power of one?

"I DON'T NEED ANYONE TO FINISH OFF THE LIKES OF YOU!"

Let me show you what a demon can do.

Jogi Hiko took no time to dive through the air at Naruto. Completing hand signs Sakura's hands turned into talons. In seconds there was contact.

Sakura flew through the air making contact with Naruto. Slicing through his clothes to his flesh on his chest. He flew backward. Naruto coughed blood leaking through the sides of his mouth.

Will you listen now?

"Call that a DEMON?" Naruto whipped the blood off his lips and rushed toward Jogi Hiko.

Sakura couldn't do anything. Stuck in a body that was being controlled by something else. This is what the demons have felt each time a they were embody in a ninja making them a jinchūriki.

Jogi Hiko smirked and sent off punch after punch. With silent sped, creating up a cloud of sand. Making contact with each hit. Naruto losing the air in his lungs with each hit.

Naruto was a second too slow. Naruto signed as he created a thousand doubles. Surrounding Jogi Hiko to launch attacks. Naruto summoned a portion of his clones to focus on creating Rasengans. Naruto's clones concentrated and rotated the chakra in their hands. Naruto!!! I'm still in here!!! Sakura wanted to scream.

I tire of playing with you. Jogi Hiko sighed in disappointment and formed hand signs. Filoplume.

Every chakra feather that made up Sakura's wings detached and turned into separate sharp knives. As if each of its own mind the sharp feathers headed out like seeking missiles. Slicing through the heart of each clone without mercy.

Naruto had switched spots to the back of his clones. Watching in moments all of his clones be annihilated. All feathers headed his way. Naruto scrambled backwards he tripped on his own feet landing on his backside. Watching in horror he knew he did not have enough time to even move from the spot he was in. He was going to be sliced into pieces.

NOOOOOO! Sakura internally was kicking and screaming. She couldn't watch.

Before Naruto was penetrated with thousands of feather knives a wall of sand resurrected from the desert stopping the feathers.

"Jogi Hiko. Wouldn't you say this is a little too far?" The sand slowing sunk back to the ground to reveal a very hot looking Gaara. With arms crossed he stood with his his spiky red head tilted to the side.
