'Hopefully leader does not pair me up with any one again. It's more peaceful and easier to get my assignments done without a partner. They would just slow me down, after all, since they would need to stop for things like food, sleep, and other things that those with human bodies must do. Also I would have to hear them go on and on about their misguided views of simple bombs being works of fine art or how they want to kill someone beyond their ability in their sleep. Then again, I could end up with another weirdo that snoops around my stuff looking for the secret of how I made myself into a human puppet but remain self aware and able to use chakra or being caught reading through the scroll I have my human puppet's abilities stored on,' Sasori thought while laying on Sakura's lap and looking up at the clear blue sky.
Sakura had a fight to get to in about an hour and he did not feel like it. He simply did not feel like going the Fight Club yet, so he decided to just stay where he had spent the previous night, looking up at the stars all night and then the clouds once the night had given way to day.
'Hopefully an interesting person or ninja will come along today that I can add to my collection. It's starting to get boring over there. None of those fighters are match for my cherry blossom and her beautiful yet inferior twin,' Sasori thought to himself as he made Sakura pat him on the head, giving the illusion that she was trying to comfort him. (The inferior twin being Fubuki who now had her hair styled like Sakura so they looked even more alike then before)
The peaceful yet somewhat strange time Sasori was having making Sakura stroke his head and then play around in his hair was interrupted by a ninja that popped out from behind a tree.
"I finally found you, Sakura Haruno. Now it's time to get back at you for ruining my revenge against Kakashi three years ago for my stealing my woman six years ago," a man who dressed liked ninja from the Haze village shouted.
Though Sakura could offer no response to anything people said to her without Sasori making her, people still talked to her directly because of the genjustu cast on her that made her appear like normal girl and not the human puppet she had been for almost five months now.
"Haze ninja….oh that's right, I remember where I saw your name before," Sasori said as he knew he heard something like this before.
"I see you heard of us boys, but I am not that surprised as we are the famous Moyanin Brothers!" the first Haze ninja said as two more appeared beside him and he posed in the center while the two beside posed like the characters that made up the word 'Moya'
"Yes, I remember the Moyanin brothers. It was something that my cherry blossom wrote down. You three nobodies had run in with Kakashi and got your asses handed to you, then three years later you three tried to get revenge on him yet thanks my dear Sakura's quick thinking she blame you three for her team failed attempt to rip their sensei's mask off. Kakashi then went and kicked your asses again in the exact same manner as the first time," Sasori said as sat up to speak with them in more proper manner.
"You there, the guy in the middle, do you really have poison that makes people laugh and cry until you die?" Sasori inquired as that was whole reason she even mention these loser as a year later Sakura went back to those place and her how poison caused a frog and horse to died from the hiccups and crying. This was the only reason she had even mentioned these loser while writing down her ninja knowledge.
"Indeed, though I have gotten better over the last three years as this dart contains all three poisons and, Sakura, you will die while laugh, hiccupping, and crying the whole time," the Leader of the Moyanin Brother said as he threw the dart at straight at Sakura.
The dart which was thrown faster then Sasori first thought struck Sakura in the middle of her forehead and cause her to fell backwards from the sheer amount of force that put behind the throw and her own inability to resist the dart pushing her backwards.
"You did it, Anki! You finally got you revenge on Sakura. Now all that left is to get revenge on Kak…Kak…" the man to the left of his brother and leader said before breaking down into fit of laughing, crying, and hiccupping as the dart was no longer in Sakura's forehead but imbedded within his chest.
"You three," Sasori said as killing intent coming off him was enough to make then crap their pants which they did but the clothes concealed it.
"You dared to damage my precious cherry blossom. That's it. I do not care about possible loss of the knowledge of your poison anymore as you two are going down right now," Sasori stated as his blades arms appeared from behind him, promising the two still standing Moyanin Brother a world of pain.
Ten minutes later….
Sasori was gone and the Moyanin Brothers were for third time in six years hung from a tree with the three all bundled up and swinging from it. However, Sasori was not Kakashi as there was not curse and yelling about how they were in position again or how they now wanted revenge on Sasori. No, the three Moyanin Brothers were dead as he used one of them as the rope and wrapped the other two up around the first. Also blood was pouring on the ground like some kind of weird waterfall or fountain as the three were full of more holes then a slice of Swiss cheese.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
'Great, punishing those idiots and making Sakura repair her forehead took longer then I thought,' Sasori grumbled as he had to place Sakura back into her scroll to make it to the Club in time for her fight.
The red hair puppeteer then noticed that one branch he grabbed had actually grabbed him back and hurled him into the air. Then before he could regain his sense of what was going on, an orange blur shot past him and high power kick was slammed into his stomach, causing him to rocket towards the ground, leaving a crater upon impact and the scroll being let loose from its holding place.
'Great, just who is trying to pick a fight with me now? I'm really not in good mood,' Sasori thought as began to get out the crater only see who had attacked him.
"Ahhh…so it was you, the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. I see that you finally decide to show yourself after five months," Sasori said.
"So you know about the Kyuubi. I'm guessing that means that you are a member of the Akatsuki then. So all I need to do is beat the hell out of you until tell me where Sasori is keeping Sakura and how to change her personality back to normal again," Naruto said cracking his knuckles.
Sasori then began laughing which then got him a punch in the jaw and sent sailing into a tree as result.
"My…my…my, you seem to have the wrong idea about what's going on. I have done nothing to my cherry blossom's personality since she has not had one for almost five months now and you are about to see why," Sasori said as he reached before for Sakura's scroll and held out for Naruto to see.
He could hear the blond growling about his nickname for Sakura but that did not matter because she belong to him regardless of what he thought and will continue to long after he was dead from having Kyuubi taken from him.
"Before your reunion with her, I think I should let you know that if you want to fight with Sasori, then look no further. Here I am," the red hair human puppet said as the smoke burst from the scroll, leaving Naruto to prepare himself for whatever puppet Sasori had summoned from that.
From what he learned about puppeteer ninjas during his search was that their puppets come in variety of shapes and sizes. Though what was summoned was the last thing he would have ever expected. The smoke slowly cleared to reveal a slender figure in a long maroon coat with a large pale maroon collar and extra long sleeves. Yet, Naruto's attention was draw to the hair of the puppet, which seemed to stand out against that maroon outfit the puppet was dressed in.
"This is my three hundred creation and she was created to replace my two favorite puppets which have been destroyed. However, since then, she has far surpassed my former favorites in all categories and is by far my greatest creation ever, if I do say so myself," Sasori said as he went on and on about her.
"I do not care about some puppet you made to look like Sakura. I want to know where the real Sakura is and beat both you and that fake Sakura puppet of yours until you do," Naruto told him as he was began using a little bit Kyuubi's power unknowingly. Little did Naruto realize how wrong he was about the Sakura before him being just a wooden copy.
"The real Sakura you say? Why, you are looking at her right now as this puppet is really her," Sasori told him. "She is my three hundred creation and I took my time to make sure that as a puppet she looked exactly as when she was human."
Sasori watched with an amused smirk on his face as he watched Naruto's expression change for shock to pure horror as he explained in detail about how he turned Sakura in a human puppet. Naruto bent over and the contents of his stomach came rushing up and out his mouth, splashing all over the ground before him.
With the latest bit of information, Naruto was conflict with himself, as he did not know what to do right now. Sure he had found Sasori and Sakura yet instead of captor and hostage like he was expecting, it was puppet and puppeteer. Though he wanted to beat Sasori into the ground for doing this to Sakura, to do so, he would have to get past Sakura in her current form.
Naruto was shaken out of his thoughts by expressionless face of puppet Sakura appearing before his eyes. She was made to pull out Naruto's hand and deposited something within it. She was then direct her into kissing his cheek before jump back. Her former teammate did not pull himself together in time to realized what Sakura had given him was one of her bombs or move in time before it exploded thus sending Naruto flying towards a tree.
'Okay I just need to….huh,' Naruto thought. Before he managed to get up, he felt something wrap around his ankle pull him back toward Sakura who was made to give him and bone crushing bear hug.
"I know that you must have missed my cherry blossom, and she probably would have missed you two if she had been aware these past five months from the way she wrote about you in her scroll. So being the nice guy that I am, I will allow her to hug you," Sasori said as this was weird way of honoring Sakura's feelings towards Naruto while she was still human.
"Sakura, not some thing you claim ownership of despite what you have done to her," Naruto growled angrily even though Sakura was still crushing him with her super bear hug.
"No, you are the one that wrong as my cherry blossom, my Sakura belongs only to me and she does whatever I want her to because of that," Sasori yelled making the pink hair bash Naruto in the head, leaving the blond dizzy and unprepared for the one two uppercut that followed.
As Naruto got back on his feet after that last blow, it reminded him of the time Tsunade had beat him when the first met. However then something came as a thought to him. 'If she was a human puppet, then maybe there stills a chance that she could be turned back to normal; all that I have to do was beat Sasori without harming Sakura,' he thought.
This was easier said then done as he could not seem bring himself to fight Sakura at the moment and possible harm her more then this bastard had already, but she was being used as his puppet; so in order to get to Sasori, he would logically have to take out Sakura first. Yet that was out the question so he would simply have to dodge what Sakura threw at him and focus on Sasori.
0000000000000000000000000000000000
An hour later….
"You certainly put up quite fight against me, despite the fact that kept trying to ignore my puppet and focus on me," Sasori said as he looked down on the beaten and broken Naruto that was being held against a boulder from the shoulder on down by Sakura's chakra sealing orb currently in it fully released cage form.
Naruto said nothing in response other trying to push this thing Sakura trapped him in off.
"You are wasting your time as you would have to naturally have the strength of my cherry Blossom or your Hokage in her prime to get this off you since it steal your ability to use chakra," Sasori informed him.
'This kid must have really cared for her to go to this far,' he thought. A smirk appeared on his face, as he knew what he had plan was definitely going to get a mixed reaction out of Naruto though he had to admit he was interested it see just what would happen.
Sasori had Sakura come over and caress Naruto's face before making her kiss him passionately on the lips. Then Naruto learned that despite being a puppet Sakura still had a fully functional tongue as her own wooden one was made to forcefully play with his own. Then she was work her way down to his shoulder before finally be made to stop.
Naruto was enraged as this point as that was his real first kiss (from Sakura at least) and it was wasted while she was like this similar to his first kiss he ever had period (which was with Sasuke).
Though if Naruto was enraged now, what would happen next would seen him into a rage that he did not even know was possible for him.
Sakura was then made to take off her cloak and left it fall behind her in large pile. Naruto just stared in shock as Sakura puppet stood there in the buff and soon Sasori direct her to place her bare wooden bosoms in Naruto face and rubbed them back and forth over his face again and again.
"You do not have to worry about splinters as I made sure that Sakura's wooden body is always completely smooth and free of any imperfections," Sasori said as he then began made remove her breast from his face and started making her pose in seductive ways while she still had absolute nothing on.
"Since you're going to die after we remove the Kyuubi from you and you seem to care for this girl like I do but not as much of course, I thought that I would let you see her in the buff and having her do these thing for you at least once before you died," Sasori told him as he continued to make Sakura pose in front of Naruto.
"You will pay for this," Naruto spoke in a tone that hinted at barely controlled rage as how did this…this…thing this inhuman creature compare his feeling for Sakura to his own warped and sick ones.
0000000000000000000000000000000000
Naruto then found himself in a familiar sewer and standing in front of him was a gigantic gate with a paper seal with a word seal written on it. From within the gate red bubbles began to spring up and eventually form what look like a fox's head with red eyes.
"So, what is that you want?" Kyuubi asked as he was no longer contained completely with the seal as his head was now able to stick outside the cage within Naruto's mindscape.
"I want power; I do not care what happen to me. Just give me enough power that I kill this bastard for the things that he has done and made to Sakura do over the last five months if what I have seen is any indication of what this creature does with her," Naruto told him.
"Are you sure that you do not care what happens to your body then?" the Kyuubi asked as with a smirk as he could use this to his advantage.
"No, just as long as that I get to hear his cries of pain as he slowly dies in the process, I do not care what happened to me," Naruto told him.
"All right then, remove this seal and let me out," Kyuubi said as this was he probably the best chance he had to escape in fifteen years.
"Set you free?" Naruto asked as the demon fox just nodded his head.
"You said that you would do anything, so just take off the seal that keeping me in here and then you have a deal. Or would you rather continue watching the puppet that your pink hair brat has become continue to pose nude in front of you or even be made to sit on top your head so we can both find out just how anatomically correct this puppet girl still is," the nine tail demon said with a smirk that had not left his face sent Naruto had come here.
Without even taking another second to think it over, Naruto ripped the seal paper off the cage, and next thing he knew, everything went red.
0000000000000000000000000000000000
Outside of Naruto's mind, Sasori was wondering what was going on. Naruto seemed to space out, maybe having Sakura do all this was too much for him. Then a smirk appeared on his face as Sakura was had to stop pose and headed toward Naruto again. Though before she could there, the pink hair puppet collapsed to the ground, Sasori's hand being struck with something so hard it caused the cancel out the chakra strings being used to control her.
The Akatsuki then noticed that it had come from Naruto and that punched a whole through the cage holding him and using that piece to break his control over Sakura.
"Impossible! No human is naturally that strong!" Sasori yelled as Naruto then shoved the cage off his body and walked toward the shocked Sasori.
Sasori just stared at there stood the beaten and broken Naruto however red chakra was pouring out from as his wounds and heal the cuts and the internal bleeding cause from Sakura's blows. Naruto's nails had grown in claws, his hair changed from blond to blond with reddish orange tint, and he eyes were crimson red. Naruto then dropped down on all four as just then a giant burst of red chakra he was replaced by medium size version of the nine-tailed demon fox. Sasori knew that he had to take things seriously as if he did not go out him with everything he had there was no way he was going to win. Escaping would probably be the better option but there was no way he could do that, so the only option left to him was to fight.
Sasori tried to regain control of Sakura again but his string were blocked and the tails of Kyuubi Naruto and actually caused the feedback sent back from it to cause some of his fingers to melt, through strangely enough Sakura remained unharmed despite being held by one the tail.
Sasori then decided it would be a good time to test his new technique. Grabbing three scrolls from his cloak, he summoned his Red Secret Technique: Seven Kunoichi of Destruction yet when reached for the scroll holding six of the seven puppets, it was not there.
While shocked that the six of his newest combat human puppets were missing, he simply decide to use his old Red Secret Technique instead as maybe fighting him with numbers would work or at least alert the attention of another other member that might be in the area. With this read, Sasori then ordered his puppet to attack transformed Naruto as he in turned rush at them
0000000000000000000000000000000000
Ten minutes later…
Sasori was complete out of combat puppets and even civilian puppets using the weapons of his broken combat ones or later as shields. Every single one of them had been destroyed leaving nothing behind but giant crater that him and the transformed Kyuubi Jinchuuriki.
The first fifty were destroyed in single sweep of his tails (minus the one holding Sakura which was always kept close to his body). The second set of fifty he let attack him but were vaporized by just a yell which Sakura was protected against for some reason despite being at closer then any other puppet. The last of his combat puppets and string of his civilians ones were simple destroyed one by one. He stalked towards him, charging up some sort of strange attack.
Sasori was soon after this, hit with the attack Naruto had been charging up and left the crater the two of them were standing in. The red hair Kugutsu had to use puppets he had left as shields get away and even then, that was not enough to get away unharmed as his whole left arm had been vaporized in the process.
The transformed Jinchuuriki then hit Sasori's heart with something that made so he actually felt the pain of losing his left arm as well the pain one would fell from missing everything from stomach area as well.
"What the hell did you do to me?" he yelled as fell to the ground in pain yet received no answer from Naruto, who picked Sasori with one tail and then used another one to control Sakura himself.
Sasori then felt what it was like to have your body taken apart bit by bit as Naruto made Sakura individually crush every part of his body then pull it off and grind it into dust before his very eyes. From every joint in feet to the every strand of hair on his head was pulled off as Sasori's screams echoed throughout the forest.
Soon, the only thing left of Sasori that was not already ground into dust was the heart, the only original part of his body left. Sakura had that in her hand and was then made to rip that piece that same way she was made to do to his puppet body. As for what Naruto had done to the immortal puppet master to make him feel pain, well, it was a very advanced demonic genjustu that he cast on him to make his mind truly believe that he was human once again. Like the old saying goes: mind over matter. If you believe something hard enough, your mind will make it real.
Now that his revenge was fulfilled, Kyuubi Naruto just left the battle scar area with Sakura before someone else came by.
