-Con. Outside the Akatsuki HQ-
"Deidara-sama," Tobi says as he looks at his shadow, "I can't move". "Ah!" Kisame shouts in surprise,"a puppet?! There must be a puppeteer-user near by". Deidara then gets tossed back by a huge gust but regains his balance. "Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura cheers in joy as he and the three sand ninjas and Shikamaru, Choji and Ino appear. "I got that masked guy with my shadow jutsu, Choji, Ino, finish him!" Shakamaru says. As Choji and Ino prepair this jutus Kakashi goes to the others, "Are you all okay"? "Do we look 'okay' Kakashi-senpai?" Yamato asks? They clearly aren't okay at all.
Chijo and Ino both attack Tobi at the sametime but only to be stopped by a wave of water. The water wave swallows up the two ninjas and sents them back to where they came from. Gaara gets ready to defend the rush but Temari getsin front of him. "Gaara! Your sand will only turn to mud if you fight that jutsu" she says as she uses her giant fan to blow away the wave, "Let me and Temari take care of him Gaara" Kankuro added.
"Let's try again!" Shikamaru says to his team-mates, "Hurry!" "Ninudan sensha" Choji says as his body turns to a wrecking ball. "Let's go!" Ino adds as she straps kunai on Choji. Shikamaru then opens his arms and legs out forcing Tobi to do the same, making Tobi a sitting duck that is wide-open. Deidara sees what was going on and goes to interfere but is forced away by rushing sand, "Your fights' with me" Gaara tells to Deidara.
Water goes up and down as wind crushes it. Kankuro's puppet gets close enough to attack but Kisame blocks and deflects with his sword.
-Akatsuki HQ-
"Leader-san, Kisame-san, Tobi-san, and Deidara-san have been fighting for quiet a while. Their chakra levels must be reaching it limit by now. Also, four more Leaf shinobi have joined the fight along with three Sand ninjas too, one of them being the Kazekage-" "Get to the point Zetsu-san!" "Hmph, they need back-up, they are at their limit". "I guess I'll have to go now" Itachi says.
-Outside the Akatsuki HQ-
Boom! Boom! Bombs go off around Gaara. Gaara uses his sand to try and get Deidara but keeps missing.
Choji strapped with kunai is rolls closer and closer to the trapped Tobi. But then all of a sudden a rock wall appears between him and Tobi thus stopping him. "What th-" he says. Shikamaru looks to see who did the rock wall and sees a long haired pony-tailed guy on top. Shikamaru then falls on his knees and gasps for breath, "Shikamaru!" Ino cries in horror. "Those eyes…." Shikamaru says while still gasping for breath. "Uchiha Itachi" Kakashi says. "Thank you Itachi-san!" Tobi cheers realizing that the shadow jutsu was over.
Deidara and Gaara continue to nuke it out.
Itachi then goes and blows Kankuro and Temari to where the others are. "About time you got here, yeah" Deidara complains. Kisame then uses a water jutsu and destroys Gaara's defenses, crumbling it to mud. Kankuro sees that his brother is in danger and sends out his puppet. But as soon as it gets close to Gaara it is covered in clay and blows up. Temari then swings her fan to create a tornado-like attack but it is easily destroyed by Itachi's fire based attacks.
Gaara is defenseless. "Let's get to over with already" Kisame whines. Tobi quickly defeats Choji and Ino and joins the rest of Akatsuki.
Gaara prepares for the worse, he is almost completely defenseless and thanks to Kisame he can't use his sand, he has nothing but still gets ready. He takes out a kunai and takes a stance. But then all of a sudden the ground begins to shake as if an earthquake were happening and Kakashi jumps in front of Gaara, Sharingan open and ready. Then plants and trees start to magically sprout from the ground. Yamato jumps next to Kakashi and says, "I never thought I'll have to use this jutsu, "Hokage Shiki Jijun Jutsu: Kakuan Nitten Suishu!" "Yeah, I was afraid that it would come to this too, Mangekyo!" Kakashi replies.
