Chapter 5

Are You Okay?

Gaara's Real Inner Demon!

Minmin and Jord continued to hop through the forest, getting closer and closer to Gaara, the more serious Jord became.

"Are you ok?", Minmin asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine…", Jord replied softly.

"You stopped talking about the story of the assassination of your clan and Itachi...?", she pointed out.

"…when Sasuke and I were younger we were the best brothers ever…at least, that's what he thought…",Jord began, "Its just when Itachi made him cry it was, just enough to make me angry! That much I never understood."

"Why?", asked Minmin.

"Because when that happened I felt a power build up within me until I couldn't control it anymore…",Jord replied.

"I tried to stop Itachi and failed miserably.", Jord sobbed.

"That's so tragic.", Minmin said.

"Yeah…I have a secret that you can tell no one else…"

"Sure, what is it?", Minmin asked.

"I have the…the…Mangekyou Sharingan…"said Jord quietly.

"And that is?", Minmin asked.

"You are obviously not -", Jord was hit by sand and thrown towards a tree.

Minmin looked up. Sure enough, it was Gaara. Gaara was covered in sand, but, it looked like an ugly slouched face with purple lines upon the sand. Gaara's voice changed to a dark tone mixed with his old voice. Gaara moved to Attack Minmin but she moved and ran up the sand. She moved faster than the speed of light. She hit Gaara's sand face. Gaara shrieked in terror. Minmin jumped and threw all her smoke bombs at Gaara. There was a very loud crackling followed by smoke. There was more shrieking from Gaara then it was from Minmin.

After the smoke cleared, Minmin was pinned down by Gaara's sand tail. Gaara then grabbed the knocked out Jord. Gaara looked into Jord's cold face and laughed. Then, Jord's face gained all of its color back and the mangekyou sharingan was activated . Jord kicked him in the stomach. Gaara fell down to the ground. Jord grabbed Minmin and shook her until she woke up. She didn't know what was going on.

"Wh…where am I?", she asked.

She then remembered. She remembered she was in the middle of an A+ ranked mission. She ran over Gaara's tail to Gaara and punched him so he hit a tree and broke through it. She had an angry expression on her face. Gaara wrapped her up in sand and in his mind yelled, " Sabakyuu!". Jord saw everything that was going on. He knew Gaara would get careless, so did Minmin. She used a clone. Gaara laughed manically.

"Sorry to ruin your moment, Desert maniac..", said a voice out of no where.

Before you could even blink millions of clones surrounded Gaara. Gaara tried to destroy most of them but, he failed. They kicked him up in the air and began to simultaneously hit him. He looked down at all of them. His sand eyes were flicked so he couldn't see at the moment. The clones then kept hitting him down to the ground.

Sand began to encase his entire body. He then went into full demon. He took his sand arms and destroyed all the clones. Minmin wasn't within the clones. Gaara took his gigantic sand head and looked at his upper torso. He saw a lot of paper bombs hanging around him like ornaments. They blew up, he flew out of the smoke quickly. He got really close to the ground when clones moved in under him. They shrieked a very loud battle cry. More followed faster than the blinking eye.

Jord deactivated his mangekyou sharingan. He knew what was going on with the naked eye. The clones belonged to neither him nor Minmin.

Jord began to wonder. Then he heard their battle cry.

"Uz-zu-ma-ki, Naruto Barrage!", yelled out the clones and Naruto.

Minmin and jord didn't know what was happening. Jord moved in because Gaara was now vulnerable. Some of the sand slipped away from his right side. Jord stood in a stance similar to Neji's on top of Gaara's left side.

"Gaara…", Jord said.

"You are going down!", he finished

"WHAT!?!?!", Gaara yelled.

"This", Jord replied

Jord began to simultaneously punch him until he almost hit the ground. Then Naruto, Minmin, and Jord hit the giant sand demon hard in the chest and stomcah and yelled," U-zu-ma-ki, Min-min, Uc-hi-ha 100,000,000 hit combo!!!!!", all three of them yelled.

Gaara fell to the ground and moaned in pain. Naruto, Minmin, and Jord dropped back down to the ground. Gaara tried to stand up but couldn't. Sand was all around him. There wasn't a lot of blood but a little amount. Jord picked him up by his shirt and asked," I know its lame but, who are you working for?!?"

" No one you should be aware of…", Gaara said in a faint whisper.

Naruto ran up and socked him in the face.

"Naruto you idiot…" , said Minmin.

" Again I ask..who are you working for???", Jord asked again.

"Okay…", Minmin said.

Jord then flicked him and Gaara flew and hit a tree. The sand was too slow to protect him at the moment.

"Answer the question, sand freak…", Jord insulted.

"You're lucky…I… can't move right at the moment you little weak Uchiha…", Gaara insulted back.

"You want to say that -", Jord was interrupted by Minmin.

"Shut up both of you!", yelled Minmin.

"Now, Gaara…tell us who you are working for…?", Minmin asked.

"…, It doesn't matter…I am doing it because I want to.., no one can say otherwise. No one could make me do anything…"

"I'd take that back", Jord forewarned.

"Why…Uchiha…", Gaara asked.

"Because of this. Even your sand can't protect you from this…", Jord said.

He activated his Mangekyou sharingan and switched back and forth between that one and his lvl. 3 sharingan.

Gaara then began to see something. An illususion of som sort. Then he felt a sharp intense pain. He kept felling that all around his body. He tried to figure out what was going on. He was in delusion now.

"Now Gaara, tell us of the person Sunagakure is working with to crush Konoha…?", Jord said in a persuasive voice.

"Sunagakure is in league with Otogakure, the village hidden in sound…", Gaara answered in a deep tone of voice.

"Where is-", Jord was cut off.

"What is it Jord?", Naruto asked.

"My sharingan deactivated itself!", Jord answered in shock.

"Heh, did you honestly think you hold an illusion on me for longer than 10 minutes…HA!", Gaara began to chuckle manically.

"Whats wrong with you?", Jord asked.

"Myself", He answered.

"What?", Jord asked.

"Myself…I have a demon within me…If you haven't noticed already…", Gaara began," I revealed it when we were fighting…".
