(Bell's Point Of View)
Kakashi-sensei and I were following after Naruto as he chased Deidara, the blonde Akatsuki member, and tried to think of a plan because chasing him wasn't the answer.
Suddnenly, Deidara send down three clay dragons that attacked Naruto, shooting him off the log.
He got back up on the log right as one clay dragon swooped down in front of Kakashi and I then it exploded in our faces.
We moved out of the way in time and Kakashi told me to go on as help Naruto since I have a faster speed them him and Naruto combined.
I told him to hurry and catch up when he can then I shot forward and landed next to an enraged Naruto as I heard two explosions coming from where Kakashi-sensei was so we turned our heads and called out to our sensei until he came out of the smoke without a scratch on him.
I tried to tell Naruto to calm down and wait for Kakashi-sensei, but he was too focused on Garra to notice me which made me frown and kept moving forward.
Then, a bunch of clay bug bombs floated down onto the logs where we were jumping. I know that he is trying to split the three of us up so he could fight Naruto alone, so he was going after Kakashi-sensei first.
He tried to tell Naruto to slow down, but Naruto didn't listen to what he had to say, he kept moving forward.
I sighed as I kept up with Naruto as we heard explosions go off which could mean that Kakashi-sensei got hurt which meant...
Before I could finish my thought, Deidara stopped in front of us which made Naruto growl even more and I narrowed my eyes.
Naruto was about to jump at him, but I caught his wrist and someone else grabbed his shoulder. He looked over at me and slowly said my name then looks over to see Kakashi-sensei holding his shoulder.
Kakashi-sensei explains to him why he shouldn't be running off to fight Deidara and find ways to defeat him. "There are two way's we can beat him... One, is to force him to fight up close and personal... Second, is to beat him at his own game..."
Naruto asked how we would do that so I spoke up making them look at me, "No matter which method is taken, your unit needs either a comrade who specializes in long-range attacks or one who can use support Ninjutsu for long-range battles. In the event of having neither it's impossible to defeat the enemy. Well, it'd be different if you were as smart as Shikamaru, though."
Kakashi-sensei nodded as Naruto asked what ranges we were for which said both because I was in the Anbu while Kakashi-sensei said that he as a long range and short range as well.
Naruto said that we met all the needs so we could go fight and I told him to calm down, again, while Kakashi-sensei explained, "He infiltrated the Hidden Sand by himself and defeated Gaara, and most important, he's a member of the Akatsuki."
Kakashi-sensei said that he had a plan which made me nod, waiting for his instructions.
During the instruction's I could see that Naruto has calmed down and his eyes and whisker marks went back to normal.
After a few minutes of talking about our plan, we chased after Deidara as Kakashi-sensei told us to hang back a little which made me look at his Sharingan eye to see that it was a different pattern.
I whispered, "Mangekyo Sharingan", then hanged back little watch it in action.
Kakashi-sensei shouted out the name I just whispered and Naruto looked confused as to what it was so I explained it to him.
"The Mangekyō Sharingan is an advanced form of the that has only been activated by a handful of Uchiha. They are noted to be the "heavenly eyes that see the truth of all of creation without obstruction"
He looked amazed as he watched this kind of Sharingan in action.
A portal like thing that popped up and sucked Deidara's arm out of existence.
Naruto and I started climbing up the cliff, but paused to see what was going to happen next.
Kakashi-sensei and Deidara were out of the Ravine were now in the forest, waiting for our turn to start.
Once we was low enough the ground, Naruto and I jumped up and both did a Rasengan on the head of the flying clay dragon, making it fall off.
Naruto made shadow clones to catch the head that was falling which also had Garra in it and put it on a rock on the ground.
Deidara fell onto a branch in the trees so we couldn't see him anymore, but our primary focus was Garra so Naruto and his clones were getting inside the clay head as I landed next to Kakashi-sensei, asking if he was alright.
He says that he was fine, and Naruto got the clay dragon head open only to see one thing... Garra, laying there motionless and not breathing... Garra was dead.
I looked down with sadness and I feel someone wrap their arm around my shoulders, so I looked up to see clone of Naruto standing next to me with his eyes forward.
I felt comfort from my crush as I looked at Naruto to see that his eyes were red once again and his whisker marks darkened.
Suddenly, using his speed to go behind Deidara, he punched him in the face, making blood fly out of his mouth.
He made more Shadow clones to keep Deidara on the ground and still as he punched him in the middle of his face. Naruto punched him over and over again which made me shut my eyes in fear.
"This isn't Naruto... This isn't the Naruto I know!" I said to myself as I looked back to see that Naruto made a Rasengan and smashed into, what we thought was Deidara, but it turned out to be a clay substitution.
The four clones Naruto made to hold down Deidara disappeared, leaving Naruto just sitting there, looking at the ground.
Two of his clones pulled out, the now dead, Garra and sat him up against the tree as I watched something that I knew can never be erased from my mine.
A red substance formed around Naruto, making some sort of cloak around him and two tails formed behind him and ears on his head appeared.
"He's lost control..." I whispered as Kakashi-sensei told me that it was the Nine Tail's cloak which made a tear fall from my eye.
Screaming out his name, I raced towards him with tears in my eyes that were now streaming down my face. He brought out his fist and hit my in the gut for which Kakashi-sensei shouted my name in concern.
I think him hearing me cry out in pain made him snap out of the Nine Tail's control which made me happy.
Running over to me, he asked if I was okay and what happened. This made me realize that he doesn't have control of his mine, body, and secret which meant that he didn't know what he was doing.
I felt someone wipe away the blood from my lip so I look up to see a tired Naruto gently smiling at me while saying that he was happy that I wasn't fully hurt which made me blush and smile softly.
Suddenly, Sakura and Lady Chiyo arrived as I spoke saying that we felt a huge tremor from where they were at.
"Yeah It looks like you're still having some trouble here..." I sighed as I looked up at Garra then went over and carried him in my arms, bridal style, and took him to an open grass field.
Laying him down on the grass, I stepped away as Naruto moved forward to stand right next to him and kept his head.
"Why? Why did Why is it always Gaara? Did he have to die like this?! He's the Kazekage... He just became the Kazekage!" Lady Chiyo tried telling him to calm down, but he just turned with tears streaming down his face as he told her to shut up which made my eyes widen.
He has never said that to a comrade before... And he has never cried in public before... "Naru..." I silently said as he kept sobbing and talking.
This wouldn't have happened if you Sand Shinobi hadn't put a monster inside Gaara! Did you even ask Gaara at all about how he felt?! Jinchuriki, my butt! You've no right to act so self-important by labeling us with that word you created! I can't save Sasuke... And I can't save Gaara... I trained so hard for three years... Nothing's changed since three years ago."
Lady Chiyo then walked to the other side of Garra then put her hands together and, what looked like to be Medical Ninjustu, it was a Jutsu to bring people back to life... But there was a price... Your life, that is...
I gasped then looked down as I felt a tear fall from my eyes, but I hurry and wiped it away then look sadly at Garra, Naruto, and Lady Chiyo.
"Everything I've done until now was wrong. However, it looks like I'll finally be able to do something right at the end. The world of the Sand and the Leaf created by foolish old people is finished. I'm sure the future you build from here on out will be much different than ours."
Naruto asked what she was doing so Sakura answered saying, "Granny Chiyo in exchange for her own life Sakura She's going to bring Gaara back to life!"
Naruto asked if there was such a thing and I nodded until I heard her say that she didn't have enough Chakra, so Naruto put his hands on top of hers and started to help her with Chakra.
There was only one thing that I could do right no, which to help with the reviving process with my ability to strengthen Jutsu with a song.

The Jutsu was done and Lady Chiyo started to fall over, so Sakura ran over to her and caught her as Naruto went over to Garra, sitting him up, as he opens his eyes.
He quietly said Naruto's name and then he looked around to see us and many people from his village celebrating his awakening.
Kanakuro went over to his brother telling him that he shouldnt have to worry so much about the Kazekage for which Temari knocked Naruto and Kankuro out of the way to her brother, being protective.
Garra said thank you to Naruto for which he responded, "If you're going to say that, you should say it to the old lady, not me She saved Gaara with an incredible Medical Ninjutsu She got tired out, so she's sleeping now, but When the old lady gets back to the village, she'll get well again!"
I shook my head as Naruto looked up at me with a confused look, "No, you're wrong, Granny Chiyo used... That Jutsu..." Naruto was confused as to why he was wrong for which I put on a blank face, the face we had to use in the Root, and spoke with a blank voice.
"She wasn't just using Medical Ninjutsu She used the Reanimation Ninjutsu... Lady Chiyo is dead..."
He looked shocked at me then looked down in shame as I kept speaking. "It's a Ninjutsu that allows you to bring a dead person back to life in exchange for your own. At one time, in the Sand Puppet Unit, they were doing research to develop a Jutsu that could bring puppets to life. Granny Chiyo headed up the project They succeeded in developing the Jutsu in theory, but midway, they decided that the risks were too great. Before it reached the stage of human experiments, it was designated as a Forbidden Jutsu and it was sealed."
Naruto looked over at Lady Chiyo as Garra stood up and said for us to prey for Lady Chiyo and for all she has done for us.
**********Time skip brought to you by tomorrow being Mother's day**********
We were all standing in front of a grave for Lady Chiyo which we all stayed at for awhile to prey and give our thanks to her in the afterlife.
Once we finished, we walked to the enterance of the gate and said our goodbye's as Garra reached out his hand to Naruto for which Naruto got scrambled with his words.
"Normally I suppose people shake hands and say goodbye but I'm not really good with that kind of stuff, so I'll just leave it at this-"
Suddenly, sand flowed up to Naruto's hand making him reach up and grab Naruto's hand for which they both shaked.
I hugged Garra which made him jump a little and I said goodbye in his ear as he hugged me back. Letting go, I walk with my team back to the village where everything was going to be peaceful once more...
