A Stunning Difference CH4: Poisoned...!
The group of four wordlessly through the vast forest their chakra enhanced jumps making only the slightest noise as they moved from tree to tree, ghosts to the world around them.
Naruto noticed in the distance a large clearing leading into an open field and then finally the desert.
"Hold up, guys." his sudden stop alerted the others as they each landed on a branch behind him
"What's up Naruto? I don't smell anything out of the ordinary." commented Kiba as the large dog behind him barked in agreement
"Our progress is too slow. The average trip even for a group of shinobi running nonstop to Suna from Konoha is four days at the least. We're cutting that time in half." answered the blonde as he ran through a set of complex handsigns
"Naruto I doubt even you could do that, im not saying your last two and a half years of training were for nothing but that would be a little difficult even under the guidance of one of the great sannin." said Sakura slowly.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
There was a massive plume of smoke and then a loud screeching noise coming from within it
"What the hell!?" shouted Kiba as a massive bird easily twice the size of the Hokage tower used its even larger wings to blow away the smoke around it. Sakura who had been expecting a toad was dumbstruck, the great bird before her wore a polished samurai cuirass with the konoha insignia etched into the chest so it couldn't possibly be a foreign summon…but it definitely wasn't a toad.
"Gunkanchou-san, we need a ride to Suna. Im pretty sure you were the one ero-sennin and I used to get there last time, ne?" Gunkanchou tilted his head to the side for a moment as if remembering and then nodded. The four shinobi climbed onto his back after Naruto assured them it was safe and the massive bird took off with a strong flap of its wings.
Less then a day later the group arrived in Suna one blonde shinobi stood atop his mounts head yelling about how he'd cut the time in half while the other three held onto leather straps provided by the birds armor for dear life.
"See guys?! I told you we'd make it. Thanks Gunkanchou!" and without warning the bird disappeared into a cloud of smoke throwing its passengers to the ground
"Now that were here we should probably report to the kaz-" a fist met his face via Sakura's arm and he immediately remembered why they were even traveling to Suna
"Oh yeah…."
"Baka…"
After a few minutes of consoling the depressed Temari a Suna nin came barreling down the street kicking up dust as he ran
"TEMARI-SAN! WE'VE FOUND YOUR BROTHER BUT HE IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION!!" instantly the kunoichi snapped strait up and ran with the messenger to the hospital where Kankuro had indeed been.
His breathing was coming in short gasps and he was sporting a decent fever. Sakura pushed aside the medics who were at this point sitting there like fascinated children and got to work
"The poison is extremely potent, like none I've ever seen before." concluded the pinkette as she finished the diagnostic jutsu she'd activated "The poison is literally eating away as his blood cells, and simultaneously shutting down the vital organs." she pulled back her hair and pointed to the two medics behind her "Get me a warm bucket of water!"
The medics scrambled away and returned moments later with a bucket of water and a cloth. Sighing she threw the cloth aside and focused chakra into her hands and dipped them into the bucket. "Dokunuki no Jutsu!" Sakura set her open palm onto Kankuro's stomach and began extracting the poison. Bit by bit the inky liquid seeped out of the puppeteers body and into her palm, building up and inflating like a balloon and after a few minutes she wearily dropped the now completely black ball into the bucket
"…Take it away…" the two nodded and carefully picked it up and began to walk away
"Wait."
They all turned to Naruto who had been surprisingly silent during the whole ordeal
"Give it to me, I have someone I want to take a look at it." he took the bucket and sealed it into a blank scroll hanging from his back
"I'll be back in a bit." and with that he shunshined away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Damn, I knew Shuusa-chan moved around a lot, but this is ridiculous' thought the blonde as he strode throughout the civilian district of Suna. He noted that with each step the girls presence seemed to grow but couldn't pin where when all of a sudden
'BOOM'
The civilians present made no attempt to run as an explosion sounded in the distance, some chuckled as a purple cloud rose from one of the houses down the street and all the birds above it dropped like flies
"That crazy girl has gotten into trouble again."
"Probably killed herself with all those chemicals she's got."
Naruto smiled and headed towards the site of the explosion. He hesitantly knocked on the door of an extremely run down looking house and as expected the door fell over at his touch. The blonde walked in and immediately regretted it
"GHAHAHAHA I KNEW I SENSED ONII-CHAN AROUND HERE!!" yelled a redheaded girl as she tackleglomped Naruto to the ground. The girl pulled out a two sided ninjato and began stabbing him repeatedly in the chest
"BWAHAHA! ONII-CHANS HEALING ABILITY IS AS AWESOME AS EVER" grinned the girl in an innocently cute but at the same time disturbing way as she stepped off and handed Naruto the sword "Your turn Onii-chan!" said the girl cheekily.
"Not today Shuusa-chan. I've actually came here today to fulfill that promise I made a while ago." seeing her excited expression he quickly continued "Also, I though why not have Suna's youngest poisons expert have a look at something I've come across on my travels." said the blonde as he unsealed the bucket of water and set down on the scorched table besides him.
Shuusa nodded, her expression instantly turning serious and scooped up the water in a vial. She placed the vial on a strange machine and watched as the contents within changed color
"…The toxins were dulled down to say by the water, but even so this is one of the nastiest I've seen"
"Can it be reproduced?"
"Yeah. But it'd take a while, you're not in a hurry are you?" she asked already setting up various machines around the home made laboratory
"No, I've got another three days atleast" replied Naruto. He remembered Jiraiya telling him about the Akatsuki and how they worked 'They summon that weird statue thing and physically remove the spiritual presence of the biju from within it's host while simultaneously killing the jinchuuriki' Naruto shuddered, it was a fate he wouldn't even wish on Orochimaru no matter how much the pedophile deserved it.
Too busy with his thoughts the blonde failed to notice the lecherous grin of the female behind him
"Fine then! You'll sleep with me tonight then, Onii-chan!" Shuusa practically screamed into his ear. "And the reproduction of that poison will cost ya!" said the girl
Naruto inwardly groaned "Yes, what little task must I perform for my imouto?" replied the blonde as cheerfully as possible
Shuusa'a eyes took on a 'U' shaped much like Kakashi and Naruto knew then and there he was fucked.
"Onii-chan is going to try out one of my newest projects!" answered the girl in a dangerous tone as she applied a drop of what looked like sewer water onto the tip of a dart. Without warning Shuusa loaded the dart into a blow gun and fired it into Naruto's skin.
The blonde immediately dropped to his knees, the little bastard got him. Naruto watched in slight interest as the room around him began to spin and change color, without much hesitation he promptly emptied the contents of his stomach onto the floor and passed out.
"OH~!!!" squealed Shuusa in delight, she oh so loved her Onii-chan's healing abilities.

What's this i smell an OC pairing perhaps? Maybe not? Dunno! Hope you liked it a bit uneventful but hey th Akatsuki chapters will be out soon, can't wait!
A few notes before i leave:
Dokunuki no Jutsu (Poison Extraction Technique)
This technique allows the user to use their chakra and a globe of water to literally pull poisons out from the cells in another's body, requiring precision control on the part of the user to avoid causing internal injury to their patient. As Sakura was the only medic-nin present at the poisoning of Kankuro to be able to do this technique, it is likely that the jutsu is hard to preform. To perform the jutsu, first you must have the water on your palm. Once that is complete, Sakura injects chakra on the surface of the body, which allows her to enter the body. Once inside, she uses her other hand to extract the water filled with the poison. Since this takes a lot of control and precision and the right amount of chakra, she must be careful when extracting it all together, to get only the poison, and not the organs or blood.
Shunshin: I think you know how it works...
Also, note anatomy isn't by best subject, so bear with me in future chapters with Shuusa's fighting style.
