Chapter Fourteen

Kassatsu no Juin?

Yes. It's the 'Cursed Seal of Life or Death'. You pretty much have a fifty-fifty chance of living if you use it, but the person you use it on will be brought back to life. You can use this on Gaara.

But... If I die... then...

You messed up the story line, buddy. Now you have to fix it and bring Gaara back to life. It's the only way, and you know it.

I hate having a smart inner-self...

Deal with it!

Sasori and Chiyo had been battling about fiveteen minutes, and neither Sakura nor Veronica had to come into the battle yet. Whenever Sakura tried to, Chiyo sent her back. Veronica knew the whole story about Sasori's past life from reading it online in her homeland. "Baa-sama... It's about time we get serious, don't you think?" Sasori asked smirking. Chiyo was panting.

"I think it's about time you died, Sasori." Chiyo shouted angerly at the man, who only chuckled.

"I think it's about time I come out of my shell." Sasori did as he said he was going to. He came out of his scorpian body, and he was his regular self. He had no scratches on him at all. Veronica looked over to sakura, who's mouth was wide open. Veronica chuckled to herself.

Deidara was running from the Kyuubi no Kitsune vessle while the Copycat Ninja chased not to far behind. Deidara had no idea where Tobi was, but he thought this would be a good time for him to come out and fight Kakashi. He could handle one by themself, but not both. Deidara sighed as no Tobi showed up. Where is he?! Deidara shouted to himself. "Deidara-san!" A high scream came from the cliff edge. Finally... "Who does Tobi get to fight?" He asked running along the cliff keeping up with Deidara.

"Fight the white haired man." Deidara ordered. Tobi nodded and turned around. He jumped down onto the trees infront of Kakashi. "He'd better not mess this up." Deidara said sighing. He looked down at the Kyuubi vessel. He was pissed. He already had one tail of the Kyuubi out.

"Hi." Tobi said cheerfully as he stopped infront of Kakashi. Kakashi cursed as he stopped.

"You're in the Akatsuki?" Kakashi asked getting a look at the boy.

"Yup, and Tobi is your opponite. Get ready to fight Tobi!" Tobi screamed. Kakashi sighed and started running past Kakashi. Tobi scowled. He teleported and ended up infront of Kakashi, which caused his to stop again. "I said fight Tobi." Tobi said in a deeper scarier voice. Kakashi had the sudden feeling this wasn't going to be an easy fight.

Sasori killed Chiyo... He killed her... She's dead... Gaara...

Calm down! At least it's not Sasori who died! NOw watch the fight! Sakura's pissed!

"YOU KILLED HER!" Sakura shouted crying at the red head who only chuckled. "She was your own grandmother, and you killed her. I'll never forgive you for this!" Sakura charged at Sasori punching him in the face which caught him off guard. Sasori looked to Veronica and shook his head. This was his battle. Veronica knew he couldn't last much longer. He used a lot of his chakra on his battle with Chiyo. For an old lady, she was strong, and Veronica knew Sakura was stronger. She knew she'd have to come in soon, but Sasori keep shaking his head. Veronica snapped back to reality to find Sakura pumbling Sasori.

He said not to interfer!

If you don't he's gonna die!

What do I do?!

Akaruton: Hakujitsu no Jutsu.

Akaruton: Hakujitsu no Jutsu?

Don't ask questions girl! Just use it!

"Akaruton: Hakujitsu no Jutsu!" Veronica shouted not moving from her place. The cave became extremely bright, blinding Sakura and Sasori. What did I just do...

Akaruton: Hakujitsu no Jutsu, duh. Translated it means 'BrightLight Release: Sunshine'. It's the opposite of a smoke bomb. Instead of filling the area with smoke, it fills the area with light until you release it.

"Where is this light coming from?" Sakura asked aloud covering her eyes.

Now go rescue Sasori. Take him somewhere safe, like the edge of the room. Veronica did as she was told. When she picked up Sasori, he only chuckled softly. She placed him down behind some rocks so when the light was gone, Sakura wouldn't see. She used her own robe as a pillow for the man. Now use 'Akaruto: Naosu'. It's a medical-ninjutsu of somesort. It will help heal Sasori over time. Veronica nodded and placed her hands over Sasori's chest. "Akaruto: Naosu." She whispered. Green light came from her hands and flowed into Sasori. "Thanks Veronica." Sasori mummbled. Veronica smirked. "KAI!" She shouted making the light clear away. She stood not to far from Sakura now. Sakura didn't attack because she wasn't wearing her Akatsuki robe.

"Who are you? Where is Sasori?" Sakura asked looking up at Veronica. She onyl smiled.

"Sasori," She held herself from using '-san', "is taken care of. Now, your teammates will most likely need your help. Take Chiyo-baa-sama with you as well." Veronica said before disappearing. She had to go see if Deidara was alright. Sasori would be fine for the meantime.

Veronica stayed on the cliff as she ran the direction in which Deidara and Tobi flew/ran. That'd when she saw Tobi passed out on a tree. "Tobi." She whispered shaking him softly. His visable eyes opened, and he sat up.

"Veronica...chan...?" Tobi asked looking at the girl. "Tobi doesn't know what happened. One mintue Tobi was chasing gray haired man like Deidara-san said, then next Tobi was seeing all black until Veronica-chan showed up!" Tobi explained frantically. Veronica chuckled.

"You'll be okay for now. I want you to go back to the cave and help Sasori-san out. Don't let the pick haired girl see you, okay?" Tobi nodded and ran off the opposite way.

Sasori's gonna kill you for sending Tobi after him.

I know. Veronica grinned and she continued to travle. She knew Sakura would show up soon, and so would Team Gai. She wasn't going to let Deidara lose any parts of his body! When she arrived to the area, the Konoha ninja had Deidara surrounded. His bird was still flying with Gaara, but Deidara was on the ground. He was back up to a wall of a clift with Kakashi, Naruto, Gai, Neji, Lee, and Tenten around him.

"Let me at him Kakashi-sensie!" Naruto shouted. Veronica saw Kakashi and Gai were holding him back.

"I'll dismember him.." Tenten said with an evil grin. Neji and Lee both starred at her. Veronica gaped in fear.

"Let me do something. I wanna try out my new Sharingan." Kakashi spoke. No. Veronica thought. She'd already messed up the time line, so she had no idea how this would turn out. Would Kakashi kill Deidara instead of cutting off an arm. If he was planning on it, she wasn't going to let him.

"ANIKI!" Veronica shouted from the behind the group.

"Imouto..." Deidara whispered frowning. "VERONICA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?! ARE YOU CRAZY! YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!" Deidara shouted the the girl.

"I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!" Veronica shouted back angerly.

"NO YOU CAN'T! NOT GO!" Deidara shouted back.

"NO!" Veronica said smirking. "Besides... If you died, who'd be my big brother? Sure as hell not gonna be Kisame." Veronica said jokingly. Deidara sighed knowing she wasn't going to go.

"Are we supposed to fight her too, Gai-sensei?" Lee asked frowning. "She's only a child."

"I'M SIXTEEN!" Veronica shouted back agerly. Sure... she was short, but come on!

"If you are with the Akatsuki somehow, then you are our enemy too." Naruto said facing Veronica.

"Look... I wanna help." Veronica said truthfully. "If you let Aniki go, I'll... I'll bring Gaara-sama back to life." Veronica said causing Deidara to stare at her confused. Not only him, but the others as well. "Just let Aniki go, and I'll help Gaara-sama. Leader-sama has Shukaku, so he won't care what happens with Gaara-sama, though I do." Veronica explained. "And if I don't bring Gaara-samam back to life... You can kill me."

"Hell no!" Deidara shouted.

"I trust her." Naruto whispered to his team, smiling.

"But she reminds me of that Violet girl we met before. I can't trust her..." Neji whispered to his team glarring at Veronica.

"Kazekage-sama is out first priority." Kakashi said sighing. Everyone else nodded. "Fine. Bring the Kazekage-sama's body down here." Kakashi ordered. Deidara did as he was told, but not because Kakashi told him to. He did it because of Veronica.

"Now bring his body to me." Veronica said smiling. Gaara's body was placed infront of her. The Konoha ninja surrounded her. Deidara didn't leave. He mummbled something about not leaving without Veronica. She placed her hands over Gaara's chest. "I'm sorry Aniki, Sasori-san, Kisame-san... Itachi-san." She whispered to herself. She shut her eyes and said outloud, "Kassatsu no Juin." A large white light surrounded Gaara and Veronica. The white light grew larger until the entire place was covered in white light.

A/N: OH MY GWAD! What's gonna happen? Is Veronica going to live? I dunno... Well I do, but you won't know till next chapter. :D Chiyo's dead!! Gaara's coming back to life!! Is Deidara gonna lose his sister or not?! With Sasori and Tobi... Is Sasori surving Tobi? What about Sakura? And just how far away are Violet, Sasuke, Suigetsu, and Karin?
Lot's Of Love,
