OOC: Here is the rest of Sasori versus Naruto, Chiyo, and Sakura. Also, some giblets of Shizaru and Kakashi versus Deidara are shown. Next chapter is Reviving Gaara after Shizaru and the rest defeat Deidara.
Naruto heard Chiyo and narrowed his eyes. He said, "So...A Kage puppet and the puppet master, this will be interesting." Naruto then said, "Sakura, stay back for now." Sakura frowned but did not argue against it, she knew why Naruto said it. Naruto said, "Chiyo, be prepared." The elder woman nodded. Naruto shifted his footing and said, "Bring it, Sasori." Sasori nodded and moved his fingers, sending in the puppet of the Kazekage to attack Naruto. Naruto waited for the right moment and unleashed a chakra blast from his palm. The Kazekage puppet was sent backwards, but Sasori played no emotions. He twitched his fingers, causing one of Kazekage's arms burst open and let fly thousands of hands. Chiyo cursed with Naruto as the arms crashed down upon him. When the dust cleared, Naruto was cut in different places, and hurt. He was breathing hard, and Sasori twitched a finger, causing a poison mist to surround Naruto.
Sakura gasped and cried out, "Naruto, get out of there!" Naruto, still in the mist, growled to himself and began to close his eyes. He then opened them wide, as red chakra exploded out in a dome fashion around him, destroying the arms, and blowing away the mist. He stood up and looked at the dome and chuckled. He spoke with a soft voice, "Thank you, Kyuubi-hime." To which, was replied, Baka, I can't have you dying. Sakura would be without a father to her child, and if we ever met in hell, I'd break you in 5. Naruto sweat dropped and said, "I need to use the full Hanyou form, can you hold back enough chakra so I don't slip to 5 tails?" Kyuubi only gave a snort, as a reply, and he nodded to himself. He let the dome disappear and started forming a long chain of hand seals. Sasori, Sakura, and Chiyo all arched an eyebrow in wonder. Naruto then formed the final hand seal and spoke, "Onijutsu: True Hanyou!" His features shifted, 9 long orange and black fox tails appeared, orange with black fox ears appeared, and he became more fox like. At this, Sakura squealed by instinct.
Naruto looked back at Sakura and rolled his eyes in amusement, before looking to Sasori and said, "Let us not hold back, I can do so many more jutsus without the limits on my normal form." Sasori nodded as Naruto sucked in air and said, "Onijutsu: Fox Inferno!" He blew out a large mass of fire at Sasori, to which the Kazekage puppet sacrificed its cloak to defend Sasori. Naruto then slammed his hands to the ground and said, "Onijutsu: Kyuubi's Anger!" Fire burst from the ground at Sasori again, causing him to sacrifice the Kazekage puppet for now. However, the ceiling began to crumble in, leaving Sakura and Chiyo hidden behind rocks. Naruto saw Sasori and smirked at his chance. He stood up and said, "Give up yet?" Sasori moved his hands to his cloak, as light shined down on them. As he unbuttoned the cloak, the three (Chiyo, Naruto, Sakura) all had wide eyes. From a compartment, a rope with a spike at the end pushed Sasori up. He looked at them, slightly amused by their shock.
Naruto shifted, ready for whatever Sasori had to throw at them. A scroll on Sasori's back glowed for a second, as little cannons appeared on Sasori's hand. He then let out a giant flame from both, causing the three to hide behind different rocks. Naruto looked at Chiyo and he got an idea and ran out of hiding, letting a stream of fire follow him. He kept running around, causing Sasori to get distracted. Naruto then shot at him, until a giant blast of water from Sasori hit him into the cave wall. He held strong, and pushed it back. He then head butted Sasori and leapt back to Chiyo and Sakura. Sasori looked at the three and said, "Very well…you forced me to use my ultimate weapon." A scroll appeared in his hands and he unraveled it. Out popped hundreds of puppets in red cloaks. From a compartment in his puppet body, chakra strings attached to the puppets.
Naruto growled, but heard a poof of smoke and saw ten puppets stand around the three. He nodded at Chiyo and said, "Let us…" He then shot forward, followed by the ten puppets. The hundreds of enemy puppets shot down at them. Naruto began using highly advanced taijutsu movements, striking puppets and breaking them. Four shot past him towards Sakura. He stopped and turned, just to see the three stopped by two of the ten puppets Chiyo had. He sighed in relief, only to turn and get smashed into. Sakura cried out, "Naruto-kun…" Puppets tackled into Naruto, and before Chiyo's puppets could get to him, fire burst out, causing puppets to break down with the fire. Naruto looked at Chiyo, who threw him an odd sphere thing, with a head in it. He looked at Sasori and got the idea. He said, "Cover me and protect Sakura." He shot forward, bashing the puppets out of the way. He growled and threw the odd thing he held. It expanded and became a giant head with a lot of teeth. Naruto then punched away some puppets as Sasori was crashed into the cave wall.
Naruto sighed in relief, walking back over to Sakura slowly. Naruto noticed a figure about to stab Sakura and burst forward, but too late, the figure, now realized to be Sasori, stabbed Sakura in the stomach. She cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground, sword stuck in her stomach. Naruto howled out, "SAKURA-CHAN!" He smashed into Sasori and tore out the puppet heart-thing and crushed it. He then smashed Sasori's face in, in anger. He howled out in rage, pain, and sorrow. He turned to Sakura and held her close as he slowly pulled out the sword, making Sakura cry out in pain. He kissed her softly, tears rolling down his eyes. She kissed back, as red flames licked at the wound, healing it, and thankfully, saving the child by a millisecond. Naruto broke the kiss and held Sakura, as they embraced. Chiyo sighed in relief and sat down against a rock.
Meanwhile, Shizaru and Kakashi's fight
Shizaru and Kakashi looked to where the cave was, hearing a howl of pain. Shizaru glanced to Kakashi and said, "Lets speed this up, that can't be good." They looked back to the flying Deidara, who grinned as he threw back some more small clay birds and said, "Katsu!" They exploded, but out leaped Shizaru, landing on the bird. Deidara cursed, as Shizaru raised a hand, Deidara noticed it was clawed and glowing with demonic chakra. He looked to Shizaru and his eyes went wide.
"Gobi no Hokou!"
