Battle in the Mist

A whole week later, Takeshi was running in the forest. He looked to his side. Naruto was running parallel to him, seven meters to his left. Damn...I knew he meant business...but not that he'd fight me...I'm glad that he's teaching me t- He stopped as Naruto zoomed towards him, a sphere of energy swirling in his hand...

SHIT! Takeshi tried to dodge, but he knew it was no use. Gathering chakra with his hands, Takeshi realized how surprised he was that this jutsu took so much longer to master then Sasuke's signature... I wonder why... A smaller sphere in his hand, Takeshi yelled, "RASENGAN!"

Naruto, who was somewhat surprised, easily dodged and held his Rasengan an inch from Takeshi's face. "That's match," Naruto chuckled. He laughed as Takeshi fell down ,and, soon, all of them were in stitches. Damn kid...he's strong...he got the Rasengan in a week...

He began to think a little more...Its pretty weak though...about what...60 of my first successful one...he used two hands...just like me...lol...still...a week...that's amazing...to make it harder...the Omnigan's pre-Sharingan doesn't work on Rasengan...it doesn't use handseals... Naruto looked up at the sky as he lay down...It only took him an hour to get just as far as he is now with Chidori.

The shadow of a figure, with a hair-style much like Naruto's, stood upas Yao approached him. "What news does Deidara bring?" he demanded calmly. Sheer power emanated from him, and NOONE, not even Itachi, challenged him.

"Master Ryo," Yao bowed, " Deidara brings the news that he has discovered the Yamanichis."

Even with a reputation of being stoic to all emotions besides anger, Ryo showed shock before regaining his composure. "What...the Yamanichis?"

"Yes, Master," Yao bowed. "According to what I've heard, two of them can do Rasengan and Chidori and 30 percent of Naruto Uzumaki's and Sasuke Uchiha's current strength at the first level."

"An Uzumaki!" Ryo spat, as pure anger came out from here. Yao took several steps back. He did not want to be anywhere near Ryo when he was angry. "Thank you for the news, but you better leave right now...this cave might not hold out for more then a minute..." Yao ran as fast as he could, and escaped just as it collapsed behind him...

Takeshi and Naruto arrived at home, around 12:30 for lunch, to find Kai and Rin eating on the floor. Sasuke was sitting at the table talking with Sakura. Telling Takeshi to talk with his siblings, Naruto grabbed a sandwhich and ran to his teammates.

Sasuke looked at him and asked him, "How is he?"

"He's doing pretty well," Naruto smiled. "He learned the Rasengan faster then I did...and III was a miracle..." He paused. "All three of them now are way beyond as strong as we were when we were genin. They came into this mission at the level we were when he took the Chuunin Exams..."

"That's true," Sakura said taking a bite, "I'm really proud of them...but like you said...Deidara probably will attack today-'

Sasuke smiled as he interupted, "So here's the plan..."

Deidara and Yao arrived at the bridge. They knew that the twerps were expecting them, and that this would come down to a fight. That was why they had back-up. Standing up on top of the tree, cleverly hidden in the mist, was one of the nine Jinchuuriki. Deidara stopped walking and so did Yao. He raised his hand, and two clay beasts formed.

"Search," he said, and the beast went forward sniffing for any possible sources of danger.

A minute later, as Deidara continued walking forward, he saw six shadows in front of him, rather then his beasts. With the clay splattered on the bridge, the past and present Team 7 stood in front of Deidara and Yao.

Nobody had to say anything but being himself, Takeshi said, "You'll pay for what your chump friend did to us a week ago."

Yao grinned, evily, "Really...prove it. As my deceased friend said, you were and are the weakest of the Rookie 13."

Takeshi ran towards Yao. "SHADOW CLONE JUSTU!" As ten clones appeared, Takeshi, joined by Kai and Rin attacked Yao, and they disappeared into the mist.

"It's over Deidara," Sakura said, "You and your apprentice are outmatched three to one."

"I'm still strong enough to beat you," Deidara said evilly. Naruto was getting ticked off, and Kyubi's senses were going off like crazy. Before he knew it, Naruto was in his two tailed state and attacking Deidara, who had already faced the wrath of it once before. Disappearing Deidara was dismayed to find Sasuke and Sakura waiting for him.

"Let's get this started," Sasuke asked, "Shall we?"

Sakura smiled, "Yes. Lets." They jumped towards Deidara, kunai in their hands.

Naruto was surprised to find himself staring at a shadow. "Who are you..."
