Naruto: Legend of the Ghost Rider Chapter 21: Emergency Mission...Save Gaara

Wave country. That was Naruto and his team were at the current moment. They had their First C rank mission there, to collect the final payments from Tazuna. But something strange happened. Arashi appeared before Naruto, and his 3 Genin.

"Dad?" Naruto asked. The Spectre nodded.

"I came here based on an emergency. One you consider personal. Kazekage Gaara has been attacked and Captured by the Akastuki. Mom already knows I've come here" Arashi said. Naruto was shocked, but did comply.

"Alright guys. New mission. We're going to Suna. This one is personal" Naruto said.

Luckily, Suna wasn't that far from Wave, so they took about 5 hours to get there. They did get there, at the same time Daniel, Kakashi, and Sakura arrived.

"Naruto?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.

"I was alerted, and Got here as fast as I could" Naruto said. Naruto knew this was going to be difficult.

"My students. Don't leave Suna, under any circumstances. You are to remain under Kankuro's care. I don't want any questions. I'm doing this, because I'm dealing with some of the most powerful ninjas to ever exist, and I need to personally take them down" Naruto said.

Soon, his old team had gone out, and began to search everywhere for any traces of the Akastuki. They were followed by an old woman named Chiyo. She wanted to help them.

They eventually found a sealed off cave, which they knew the Akastuki were hiding in. Luckily, Team Gai was around to help.

"We need to strike where all the tags are. There are 4 in total, so we need to remove them all, and quickly" Neji said. Team Gai nodded, and went to work

When they did get into the cave, They saw who they were after. A slouched over being known as Sasori, the Puppet master of the rEd sand, and Diedara, the Demolition master.

"Where's Gaara?" Naruto said. Diedara smirked.

"Dead. We got what we wanted from him. We took his demon" Diedara said. This shocked everyone. Diedara then made a clay bird, which held the fallen body of Gaara, and left.

"Damn" Naruto said. Sakura smirked.

"I'll take care of this guy" Sakura said, equipping her gloves. Naruto smirked. Chiyo stayed with Sakura.

They tried everything. Daniel used his power over nature to grab Diedara, but the sand made the vine not so strong. Kakashi then revealed he had the Mengekyou Sharingan.

"Kakashi-san" Naruto said. Kakashi smirked underneath his mask.

"I once drained my chakra so much, I got this. But anyways..." Kakashi said. He used the single eye to blast Diedara's arms off. Naruto then sped up, and jumped on the clay bird.

"You shall feel pain" Naruto said, uppercutting Diedara, which sent him flying. Naruto then began to take apart the bird, getting Gaara's body out of there.

He ran to where he saw Kakashi and Daniel, when he noticed that They, along with Teamm Gai, had gotten trapped in bubble prisons, by Kisame.

"So, the nine tails is here" Kisame said. That would be the last thing he said, as Naruto move so quickly, he slived Kisame's head off. But it wasn't Kisame. It was somebody posing as the shark man.

"Damn. And I was hoping to have Fish tonight" Naruto said. The others chuckled at that lame, yet funny joke.

A few hours later, Sakura and Chiyo had come out from killing Sasori, when Chiyo revealed something.

"during my prime days as a Medic of Suna, I developed a life restoration jutsu. But the downfall is, it will take the users life. I had no intention of ever using it, but seeing on how my mind was changed, based on the loyalties of you guys, I feel as if I should use it. I owe Gaara anyways. I made his first life a living hell, as I sealed Shukaku in him. It's only fair I give him a second, more better life" Chiyo said, performing the jutsu. She died, and Gaara was revived.

"Where am I?" He asked. He was soon embraced by Naruto who had a few tears roll off his face.

"Oi. Get off mate" Gaara jokingly said. Naruto smiled, letting go.

"I'm just glad you're alive. You died for a while" Naruto said. Gaara knew that.

Back in the village, Gaara was in his home. He was still recovering.

"Thank you for trying to help me, but you were to late. Nevertheless, I don't blame you for not begin there in time. You couldn't have known sooner" Gaara said to Naruto. Naruto sighed.

Naruto found himself back at the graveyard that night.

"Glad to see you're doing well" Caretaker said. Naruto nodded.

"I've been under a lot of stress lately, I needed some advice. Should I go after Madara now, or not?" Naruto asked. Caretaker smirked.

"I wouldn't. Deal with the lesser target first. Besides. From what you tel me, this one is more personal" Caretaker said. Naruto nodded.

"Yeah. At least now I know where to go now" Naruto said. He then sped off, heading back to Konoha.
