Danger Awakens: Trouble For Konoha

Naruto glared at the former Akatsuki member in front of him. "I thought Sakura-chan killed you…" he cursed, and took a step forward. "Why are you still alive?"

Sasori chuckled in his cold tone. "It seems she did not kill me. I faked my death so I could kill you. You didn't kill Deidara-san either." He said, and stared at the two shinobi. "I see you're the Hokage now. Congratulations. Now I will take more pleasure in beating the crap out of you."

Naruto growled and formed his hand signs. "Katon: Fenikkusu Yaiba!" he shouted, and blades of fire shot out from his palms, hitting Sasori straight on. "I swear, I'll kill you!" The new Hokage whipped out a kunai, and flew at the puppet master. He swiped at his forehead, creating a huge gash.

But Sasori took one of his special kunai and rammed it up Naruto's gut. It was soaked in poison, and Naruto could feel the poison spreading. "I swear," Sasori growled. "I'll kill you."
