Hello my readers! First of all guys I'm sorry for the delay but my exams were pretty tough. I hope you enjoy this chapter even though there is no NaruIno. This will end the Deidara part. Please review!

Chapter 5: Deidara no more

"Tsunade… our agent failed." said the pink-haired girl

"Rats! I paid a lot for him!" said the Hokage

It was now 2 hours after the battle between Deidara and Naruto and now everyone on the anti-Naruto act knew the failure of the Akatsuki member. At the Hokage office the main members of the anti-Naruto act were reunited. In between them there were Tsunade, Sakura, Gaara, Neji and Kankuro.

"Damn! He was our only hope against Naruto!" said Kankuro hitting his head with his fist

"Not our only hope" said Neji calmly "Remember you putted the demon fox to sleep so now Naruto is just another ordinary ninja."

"Who nearly stopped an A-class assassin." Interrupted Sakura

"You just said it: NEARLY. That means he didn't. If it wasn't for Choji and Ino he would be dead by now." Said the Hyuuga

"He is right. All we need are no interruptions and maybe 2 assassins." Said Kankuro

"Hah! 2 assassins, are you insane?! Naruto is already weak, he is an easy target, I will send you instead of some expensive assassin." Said Tsunade while laughing in an evil way

"You're incorrect miss. If Ino is with the others, which I believe is the case, then Naruto would be healed already." Said Sakura

"Hmmm… ok then, call that Deidara guy and tell him to bring an ally." Said Tsunade angrily

"Yes Ma'am!" said her lackeys

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto had to stay in bed; according to Ino he should stay still so his wounds would not open and well… he was doing what he was told to do.

He thought of what he had just done: kiss Ino. He didn't know why he did it; he just knew he did it. Why had he done that? Did he felt an attraction for Ino? No… at least that's what he thought…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dude!!" yelled the old man after hearing Kakashi's propose "You're asking me to join the pro-Naruto? She would hate me you know?"

"If you don't choose a side quickly both sides will be after you, not only her, Jiraiya" said Kakashi while grabbing a cup of tea and bringing it to his uncovered face

"Yeah you're right," said the sage "I'll join you but please Kakashi…"

"What?"

"Make a doctor check your face… it's horrible."

"I'll think about it…" said Kakashi, but what he really meant was: Go fck yourself! It's my freaking face; I do whatever I want with it.

"Ok then, bye Kakashi" said the man leaving Kakashi alone

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ino was walking back home. She was thinking about Naruto… somehow he thought he wasn't THAT bad anymore. She had been left surprised by the kiss but she was not angry… she could actually say she was happy. Maybe she felt something for Naruto. Something she had never felt before for any other person…

The girl arrived home to find a letter on the door from his parents. It explained how they were out on an important mission and would not return until the end of the week. She was already adapted to this since her parents where on missions just too often.

Moments later as Ino was ready to go to bed she felt a presence arrive at her window. She turned to look at it, it was Shikamaru.

"Ino, Gaara wants some of the pro-Narutos to gather. He has requested you… come on, follow me!" said Shikamaru as he left for the secret hideout

As Ino arrived to the quarters she saw the people who were currently there: Shino, Temari, Shikamaru and a strange guy with mustache (don't think he will do anything, he's just there for comedy). Soon after her arrival Gaara started speaking.

"Friends, I have gathered you all today to discuss what I think we all desire… Naruto's death."

Soon after, the man that had attacked Naruto appeared at Gaara's side. He took out some clay and threw it at the present people (except for the old guy). Soon Ino lost consciousness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"God!!" yelled Naruto as the giant frog fell on top of him

"Sorry," said Gamabunta "But I thought you said I should try my best."

"Ok, ok, but I'm still healing, you know?" replied the blonde ninja as he rubbed his head

A day had passed since the incident and Naruto had gone back to training. If that Deidara returned then he would be in great trouble. Choji had been sent to the hospital since, according to the doctor, he had some strange clay parasites inside of him.

A shadow started emerging from a nearby tree. Naruto and Gamabunta turned to see the rising figure and were surprised to see… nearly all of the people Naruto knew!

"Hey guys! What's up?" said the ninja

The people began to walk towards Naruto ignoring what he had said. Suddenly, the ninjas took out their kunais.

"I don't know," said Gamabunta "But if I were you I would run, they seem weird."

Naruto started running towards town, soon the ninjas started running towards him. This had to bee the longest sprint Naruto had ever ran. Gamabunta's chakra was fading and thus his speed too.

Suddenly, Naruto stopped hearing all the footsteps behind him, he turned around to see Deidara in front of the pursuers.

"Hello my friend," said Deidara as he walked towards Naruto "Nice to see you again."

"YOU?! How did you heal so fast?"

"The question should be how YOU healed so fast did! Last time I saw you, you were semi-dead!"

"It's magic! I know David Copperfield," said Naruto as he took out a penny and made it disappear

One of the persons behind Deidara started clapping.

"Shut up!" yelled Deidara "Want to see magic? I'll show you magic!"

Deidara took a mountain of clay from his pocket and created a Gamabunta out of it. Suddenly, the Gamanbunta started moving.

"So that's how you want it eh?" said Naruto "Ok then!"

Naruto, then made an army of buntas which outnumbered Deidara's one.

"Watch me, I'm Houdini." Said Naruto happily

"Houdini was an escapologist, asshole" said Gamabunta

"Ok then Naruto, let the battle begin!"

Deidara charged at Naruto but was quickly stomped by the bunta family (that must have hurt). Soon the people behind him fell to the ground unconscious and the clay Gamabunta exploded.

"Yeah, that was easy!" said Naruto while he jumped like a maniac

As Naruto approached the corpses of his friends he notice clay coming out of their ears.

"Hypnotism… what a coward, that's the oldest magic trick. I guess that makes me the winner!"

As Naruto laughed an old woman watched from a nearby tree. It was Tsunade.
