Chapter 17: Death Forest

Naruto moved through the crowed as he pulled Fai along with him. Sasuke waslong gone and was probably waiting for them in the next room.

Once they got in everyone took their places in teams. Naruto looked around at the different teams. Most were from the leaf but there were many from different villages. He could feel someone's eyes on him and he looked over to meet with a pair of bright green ones.

Naruto held the stare but the other didn't back down. He had dark circles around his eyes, creepy, and dark red hair. He was from the sand village, that much Naruto could tell since he was with two other sand people. He had a big gourd on his back... that looked heavy! Naruto grinned at the boy and waved, he didn't want to make enemies with everyone... just yet that is.

Fai looked over at what Naruto was looking at and stumbled back in surprise. 'What the hell is HE doing here!' He pulled Naruto away.

"Time to go!" He shouted and they walked closer to his akatsuki members.

"What, wait!" Naruto cried out, as he was dragged away. He could still feel the same pair of eyes on him all the way there. Deidara stopped at the doors and sighed.

"That was close." He mumbled not realizing he said that out loud.

"What was what?" Naruto asked from his spot on the floor when he was dropped there. Deidara looked down at his son and smiled.

"Don't you worry your little head off, you." He reached down and patted Naruto's hair playfully. Naruto growled.

"What did I just tell you!" He shouted but was ignored when the Akatsuki members made their way over.

"Oh, hello Kero!" Sasori looked strangely at Deidara. 'Kero? Where does Deidara come up with these names! Jeez... I'd hate to see what he made for Itachi...' Naruto got up from his spot and looked up at Sasori in wonder. Sasori looked confused.

"What?" He asked rudely. Naruto grinned.

"Hahahaha, Kero's a girls name!" Sasori closed his eyes and counted to 10. 'Okay no killing partner OR brat... you can do this, keep it in and take it out on them later.' Sasori cracked a grin at the brat.

"Hehe, well my... mom has interesting idea's about name CHOICES!" He growled, glaring at his partner.

"Yes, she does, un!" Deidara almost cheered thinking Sasori liked the name.

"All participants to the front." Said a voice from the speakers, stopping all future strangling by Sasori.

Naruto jumped up and down getting ready to go. "Come on Fai, let's go!" He turned to Sasori with a smirk. "You can bet that we'll beat your team in what ever test is next, right?" He asked Deidara who was red in the face. 'Okay sure, Naruto could never beat my partner but, but he's so cute!' He tried his best not to jump his baby and just nodded.

"Okay lets go!" Naruto shouted and pulled Deidara to the front leaving Sasori behind to find his 'team'.

-X-

Everyone was led outside and Sasuke had finally found his team. "Where were you!?" Naruto asked as the group walked along the path to the next test.

"I-I got lost." Sasuke lied, he was really just looking for that Itachi look-a-like to see if it really was him. Naruto looked pitifully at Sasuke who's eyebrow rose.

"What?" He asked. Naruto grabbed his hand and looked up with a big smile.

"Well don't worry I'll make sure don't get lost again... partner!"

Deidara looked sad since he wanted to hold Naruto's hand too. Naruto looked over at Deidara and grabbed his hand too, much to Deidara's happiness. "We will win this together!... what ever it is." With that Naruto pulled them happily long, passing all the teams who looked confused and disterdubed at the cuteness shining off of the blonde.

Itachi glared at his brother as he past them without a second thought. Why did HE get to be with Naruto while Itachi had to sit back a wait! Who was the one that went out the same night to try and track Naruto down? Him! So why is it that his brother goes and steals all of the attention? But there is one thing that Itachi had that no one could take back... Naruto's first kiss... okay maybe not the

best kiss in the world but Itachi was the first to receive it!

-X-

Everyone gathered around the gates leading to a big forest. Naruto gulped and slid closer to Sasuke like he normally did when scared. Deidara held his hand tighter and looked down worried at his baby. This place looked dangerous, no place for his baby at all.

A young woman stood in front of everyone proudly... a little too proudly. "This is the Death forest! It is also where your next test will be held." People looked worried. She grinned and carried on. "Your team will be given a scroll, there are two types of scrolls, a heaven scroll and a earth scroll. Your job is to gather the other scroll that your team does not possess, got it?" Everyone nodded. "You will have only 5 days to complete this test... when you have gathered all of the scrolls you and your WHOLE team must make it to the tower in the center of the forest." Naruto looked at the woods with wide eyes. One person raised their hand.

"Yes?"

"What do you mean by the WHOLE team? What if someone is hurt and-"

"You have to get your whole team there, dead or alive."

Deidara looked ready to faint right there. 'Dead? Oh god, not my baby!' He straightened up with fire in his eyes. 'That's IT if anyone even THINKS of hurting my baby I don't care, I'll drop the mission and KILL that person!' He grabbed Naruto close without even realizing it. Naruto struggled but gave up when he saw fire burning in Fai's eyes and gulped.

"You have 15 minutes to get yourselves together before getting a scroll and going to your giving entrances. With that everyone was set free.

-X-

Naruto sat down at a tree and sighed, this was going to be hard on everyone... mostly himself. He looked up and saw someone walking over and noticed it was the red head from before. Naruto sat up straight and pretended to not look scared.

The red head walked up to the tree and sat down beside him. Naruto's eyebrow quirked up and he looked at the red head beside him who was sitting there with his eyes closed.

"Ehh?" Naruto said in surprise. One green eye opened and looked over at him as if saying. "What?" Naruto sighed. 'If the person wanted to sit there, its okay with him, just a little weirded out.'

"I told you I wouldn't forget you." The red head said out of nowhere. Naruto almost jumped at the sudden speech. He turned and looked at the red head with curious eyes.

"Forget me?" He asked. "I don't even know you! Sorry but if we met along time ago, I must have forgotten... me and my forgetful mind... hehe?" Gaara's eyebrow rose.

"Well let me remind you a little. He said and sat up straight to look into Naruto's eyes. "You are my only friend, we met along time ago when you were traveling through my village, I promised you that I would be your friend and never forget you..." He looked more serious suddenly. "You are mine." He said with a venomous voice. Naruto looked very VERY scared at this moment, not really sure what to say or do. This guy looked serious, maybe they did meet, but when? And why was he traveling?

Deidara ran over and almost fell back when he saw Gaara sitting there with HIS baby! He growled and stomped over to them. Naruto looked up at Fai made his way over here. Gaara was still staring at him with those cold, yet for some reason now, caring eyes.

"Time to go and get our scroll!" Deidara growled and picked Naruto up by the arm and dragged him away from Gaara who looked disappointed.

Sasuke looked over at his two teammates as they came over. "Time to get our scroll?" He asked. Naruto shrugged.

"I guess." Deidara didn't say anything and just walked on with Naruto and now Sasuke.

-X-

Naruto looked down at the scroll in his hands, it was a Earth scroll. "Why do I have to take this?" He asked. Now everyone would go for him!

Sasuke shrugged. "Because you were the one who took it in the first place I guess." Deidara nodded.

"Don't worry baby we'll protect you!" Naruto's face went red.

"Baby!"

Right now they were standing in front of the gates to the forest. Each team was spilt up so no one could run into each other right away.

"The gates will open in..." A voice came out of the speeker's.

"5." Naruto pocketed the scroll and Deidara grabbed his hand and pulled him close.

"4." Itachi and the others stood ready to fight, looking calm as ever though. He would make sure to get to Naruto before anyone could hurt him.

"3." Gaara stood away from his sister and brother. He was ready to kill anyone who was going to hurt his Naruto.

"2" Naruto gulped and bent down low ready to run.

"1!" With that the gates flew open and everyone was off.

-X-

Did you read the top? Please read it!

Okay! Sooooo did everyone like the chapter? I hope so! And I'm sorry for the spelling mistakes, I suck at spelling and my beta is MIA!

Like I said last chapter, go to my profile and looked at the pictures of everyone since I changed the styles since I HATE Naruto's outfit.

Challenge: Sasori/Naruto

What if it wasn't Sasori who died but Deidara, and what if Sasori had never found another partner. What if, right? Well in this story the 'What if' is the fact! Sasori moved down the street in his puppet form, ever since his partner went and got himself blown up the Leader kept giving him the easy jobs since he didn't have a partner. "Young man!" An old woman croaked from off to the side of the street. Sasori ignored her and kept walking. "I know what it is you need." She said. Sasori looked behind him. There in the shadows of an ally was an old woman who looked like her own grave had already been dug and now they were just waiting for the body! She motioned with a finger to come closer. Sasori sighed and walked over. "What it is baa-chan, I need to get going." He said, she pulled him into the ally. "You need your partner back right?" She asked in a mystical voice. Sasori nodded. "Well I have found him for you." Sasori's eyes widened. "What? How?" "It may not be the partner you once had but it is the same soul." "Huh?" "The night your partner died I had a vision, a vision of a blonde haired boy not of this time walking in your partners footsteps…" Sasori looked confused. "Do you know what I mean?" She asked. Sasori shook his head. The woman sighed. "Okay, I found you the reincarnation of your partner, do you want him or not?" She said as if dropping the mystical act. "Well yes, but who-" The woman stopped him with a toothy smile which made Sasori feel like recommending a dentist. "You will see in time, child… be ready to catch a fallen angel." With that she stepped back into the shadows and disappeared. Sasori stood there for a second. "Wait, a what!?" He shouted into the ally but no one was there.

Notes: Did you get that? Naruto is Deidara's reincarnation, the Fallen angel is Naruto falling into this time, Naruto is from the same year as us, Naruto becomes Sasori's partner and Sasori has to teach him to become a ninja while his heart does some crazy turnovers (love).

Okay! And guess what! I'm writing a surprise story for all of you! Its only a one shot but it is as cute and funny as this story! I'll be posting it very soon…

Cheerios!
