Sasuke and Sasruto ran into Roy and Mia. "I see you're here to rejoin me Kanan..." Roy drew his swords while Mia pulled out twin daggers. "No...I'm not here to join you...I'm here to kill you!" Roy said as he charged at Sasuke.

Sasuke drew his Kusankagi and rushed at Roy. Sasruto drew a kunai then rushed at Roy as well. "Not so fast!" Mia called out as she got in Sasruto's way. "I'm you're opponent."

Sasruto sighed. "I don't face little girls..." Mia got pissed off. "Never call me a little girl!!" She yelled out as she swung her daggers at Sasruto. Roy and Sasuke were exchanging blows in the air while Mia and Sasruto were fighting on the ground.

Sasuke rapidly formed seals. "Fire style! Phoenix flower jutsu!" Large flames rushed at Roy but he severed them all. "You have some skill Kanan..." Roy got in stance and rushed at Sasuke. "Ice style! Ice wolves!"

Large white wolves rushed at Sasuke striking him rapidly. "heh...is that all you got..." Sasuke smirked as he disappeared. Multiple kunai and shuriken rushed around Roy pinning him to a tree.

Sasuke formed seals. "fire style: fire dragon jutsu!" A large dragon impacted Roy burning him badly. "is that all you have..." Roy appeared behind Sasuke holding his hand out.

"Ice spear barrage!" Large spears of ice struck Sasuke sending him into a tree. Roy then rapidly formed seals. "Ice style! Burning ice!" A large blue flame struck Sasuke freezing him solid.

"pathetic..." Roy said as he slice Sasuke in half only revealing it to be a different body. "Damn pein..." Roy said as he saw Mia and Sasruto fight. Sasruto formed seals and a large bolt of lightning formed in his hand.

"Chidori!!" As soon as he finished a large blue formed on his other hand. "Rasengan!" He combined them and held his arm down. "Chidorisengan!" He called out as he rushed at Mia.

She smirked as Sasruto rushed. "is that all..." she said as she jumped over sasruto and threw three knives at his pressure points. "I'm guessing it is..." she said as she looked at Roy.

Sasruto appeared behind her and struck her but he stopped. "Like I will let you hurt her..." Roy said as he held Sasruto's wrist. Mia appeared behind Sasruto and sunk both her daggers into his neck.

"Done..." she said as sasruto appeared to be a different body as well. "Let's head back and report to Tsunade..." Roy said as he ran back to the village. Mia nodded and followed.

Meanwhile back in the village Hallow Dez and X were talking. "So how was your travels with Hinata to the sand village." Dezray sighed and pulled out a sheet of paper. "I have to turn this into Naruto because I happened to play a prank on Gaara..."

X and Hallow sighed. "What did you do now?" X said looking at the paper. Dezray tried to turn the conversation away but X and Hallow insisted on her saying what she did. "I...dropped a bucket of water on him when I was there because I was bored..."

X and Hallow both sighed. "You know Gaara can still kill someone even though he lost Shukaku..." Dezray rolled her eyes. "yeah sure...well I have to get that to my brother..." Hallow grabbed Dezray's hand. "Mind if I come to?"

Dezray hid her face. "sure..." she said as she walked over to the hokage tower with Hallow holding her hand. "So did you like visiting the sand village?" Dez sighed and nodded. "it was fun except the part where Hinata caught me playing a prank on Kankuro..."

Hallow laughed "well seems you enjoyed yourself...well how did Gaara react?" Dez laughed. "He looked funny then Gaara threw me out of the room with sand" Hallow's eyes widened "Well are you ok?" Dez nodded. "I'm fine he didn't even throw me hard.."

As they walked into the hokage tower Hinata rushed out with Sakura and Tsunade. "Excuse me!" Tsunade yelled as she rushed past Dez and Hallow knocking down Hallow on accident. "Woah!" Hallow said as he hit the floor with a thud making Dezray laugh.

Naruto stepped out with an annoyed face and dragged Dezray into the hokage tower. "AHHH!!" Dezray yelled out as she got dragged. Hallow was dumbfounded as he was still processing the recent events.

"DEZRAY UZUMAKI WHY DID YOU PLAY A PRANK ON GAARA!!" Dezray stood wide eyed as she looked at Naruto. "I was.." Naruto cut her off. "AND DON'T TELL ME YOU WERE BORED!! DAMN IT!!"

Dezray just stood there. "You forget that me and him are close friends due to us being jinchurikis..." Naruto sighed and read the report Hinata wrote. "So she just told me you played a prank on gaara...next time don't do that...the leaf and sand are close allies and if a prank messes it up I will remove you're ninja status.."

Dezray's eyes widened. "But you can't do that..." Naruto glared at her. "I can and I will if I have to..." Hallow burst in and punched Naruto. "What the hell are you talking about removing her status as a ninja!!"

Naruto took the punch and threw Hallow across the room. "Don't tell me what I can and can't do! you're lucky I let you go out with her!" Hallow growled. "Don't think I won't raise my sword against you"

Naruto grinned. "Fine you think you can take me...then if you beat me I will not do anything to Dez...but if you lose you'll take her punishment...sound fair?" Hallow grinned. "Fair is fair..."

Dez was still standing wide eyed as she tried to process what just happened. Hallow and Naruto walked to the roof and entered their stances. "remember if you lose you take her punishment...are you sure you want to continue?"

Hallow nodded then rushed at Naruto. "I'm not backing down!" Naruto extended his kunai with wind chakra then exchanged blows with Hallow. Hallow jumped back and was covered in cuts. "Damn...no wonder he's the hokage..."

Naruto looked at his robe which was cut up from Hallow's sword. "Good skill...now let's see how strong you truly are..." Naruto said as red chakra surrounded him.

Hallow's eyes widened. "I've only seen this chakra from sasruto..." Hallow then formed a seal "Demonic release!" Two tails formed on his back and blue chakra pulsed around him as wolf features appeared on him.

Naruto and Hallow charged as Dez ran out. "Hallow stop you can't beat him!!" Hallow rushed and swung his sword at full strength. Naruto swung his Kunai impacting Hallow's sword making a large shockwave.

Dez stood her ground as the shockwave passed by. "I swear you can be stupid and hard headed at the same time Hallow.." Hallow and Naruto stood behind each other and grinned.

"You have skill but not enough to win..." Hallow's eyes widened as he felt a cut appear on his shoulder. "GAH!!" Hallow yelled out as he collapsed in a small puddle of blood.

"once you're better and this whole war with akatsuki is over...you will clean the monument to the hokages and then have d-rank missions for a month..." Hallow was out cold when Dez ran over to him. "I swear you are an idiot but...thank you for standing up for me.." she said as she healed Hallow.

Naruto walked out and walked to the hospital where Tsunade was working along side sakura and Hinata reviving Ryu. Ryu was still in a comatose state when Tsunade activated a technique.

"he should almost be back..." Hinata and Sakura formed seals and placed their hands on his heart. Hinata's eyes widened. "His heart is beating again!" Tsunade and Sakura finished healing his wounds then walked out meeting Yuki.

Naruto sat next to Yuki and saw Hinata come out. "Hina-chan!" Naruto said as he saw her come out and lose balance. "Woah!" Naruto caught her and gave her a kiss. "Don't over do it..."

Hinata closed her eyes as Naruto picked her up and left. Yuki was worried as she waited for Tsunade to come out. "please let Ryu be ok..." Tsunade came out and grinned. "He's going to be fine" Yuki jumped up and hugged Tsunade. "Thank you soo much.."

Tsunade hugged back. "You're welcome if you want to go in and see him." Yuki nodded and walked in sitting next to Ryu. Meanwhile Hallow was asleep on the roof of the Hokage tower.

Dez sat next to him as he rested from his fight with Naruto. "Hallow I swear you are an idiot..." she smiled as she fell asleep next to Hallow. In the forest the Akatsuki were resting.

Sasruto and Sasuke were resting when Pein and Madara came near them. "I am here to report the loss of Hoshigake Kisame...he failed and now he is dead..." Sasuke grinned. "So they're ready...well then we will take a week and then attack got it."

Madara and Pein nodded. "fine..." Back in the village Roy and Mia walked in and went into the house and fell asleep.
