A/N: Alright showdown!!!!!!!! Wait a minute! Who's that on the dune over there?!? Is it a bird?, Is it a Plane?, No it's...SASUKE!!!!!!! Come to the rescue again!!!!! Maybe we should start calling him Super-Sasuke-man!!!!!! LOL!
Sasuke looked down from his perch into the sand benieth him. The swirling grains seemed to be gravitating towards the centre of the desert... Gaara's preparing, he's not going to defeat Tobi though, he barely stood three minutes against me...Tobi's going to wipe him out... Ohh well, better go help him, last time I battled someone of my own clan was...AGES ago! Brilliant!
He cringed as he heard the defening thump from Gaara, as he landed on the dune... Alright I guess it- Tobi screamed as he lept into the air, huge sand hands trailing after him...
Seems Gaara-sama has learnt some new moves...Still not enough... He thought to himself as he jumped down from the tree... He sprinted across the dunes, gaining power for the chidori, he activated the sharingan. Four hooked dots chased each other around as he went a level further, testing his new power. Sure, he'd been an ordinary user for quite a while...but once he'd killed Orochimaru and Itachi...It grew more powerfull. He'd obtained the highest level in Uchiha history...the same feat Itachi had managed to do...the power only three Uchiha's had obtained including himself... The Mangekyo. Each person's had a unique signature, the number of dots, shape of the pupil and power level . Sasuke straightened his arm letting the friction build up while he watched on...
Gaara's vision came and went untill he was down to foggy shapes. Tobi had smashed him into the rocks so many times it was unbelievable. How was he dodging my attacks? Gaara thought to himself. Wait Sakura had said something about this guy just a few minutes ago... "Don't look into his eyes...". A sound lke a charging bull came over the dune and a flying blue and white shape collided with Tobi, knocking his mask clean off his face and throwing him into one of the many sand-covered rocks. Gaara was actually ashamed when he heard himself gasp as he laid eyes on his attacker's true face...
"Obito? I saw you in Kakashi's old photographs! How are you still alive? He told me you were dead!", Gaara roared. Sasuke jumped up to land on a higher dune to laugh.
"Why, does it mean anything to you demon?", the new voice of Tobi snarled back. Gaara was astounded.
"Ohh come on Obito, you have to give the demon a break. Afterall they only have a peanut-sized brain...", Sasuke laughed. He turned his anger-filled eyes towards Sakura, snarling gently behind Gaara.
"Hehehe, long time no see hey Sakura-chan? So you were the one who married him...Ha! And to think I thought of you as a girl of standards...", Sasuke mocked. Sakura looked up and hissed.
"Ha! At least i'm not the one who married the gay snake!", Sakura chimmed back. Sasuke laughed and re-focused on the little shape struggling in the sand a few meters away...
"Obito, I said stay down!", Sasuke screamed before whacking the now defencless Obito on the back... He grunted up managed to fling himself out of the way before the strike connected. Sasuke's hand hit the ground, the opposite hand fliping him upwards and flinging several kunai at him. The force of the landings sending rippling shudders through the sand-mountains. Sasuke pulled himself up and turned around to Gaara.
"Some help would be apreciated ohhh master of the sand!!!!", Sasuke said sarcastically as he threw his Katana at the fallen Obito. Gaara snorted.
"Has this got anything to do with Sakura and me?", Gaara growled. Sasuke ducked a hit from Obito, and activated his Mangekyo.
"No, why would it?", Sasuke growled as he was flung into a dune, sinking below it's surface... Gaara flicked the sand away, uncovering a bleeding Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun! Let Gaara help you...!", Sakura cried. Sasuke shook his slick hair, the black strands swinging like twisted jungle vines...Obito stopped for a moment and rolled up his sleeves. Sasuke concentrated on the small spot behind his neck. The heat rose from his neck and traveled across his cheeks, down his arms and legs, swirling across his chest, enveloping him in a bright red swirl...
"I have no time to play with insignificant, unimportant people ...Curse Level Two!!", Sasuke screamed as his pale skin started to glow red. Obito looked over to Sasuke after wiping his bleeding nose on his cloak. Numerous stab wounds from Sasuke's kunai and discarded katana dripped brown-red blood onto the pale white dunes. Sasuke chuckled loudly, evilly as the tingling sensation spread like a disease throughout his fragile body. Obito gasped as Sasuke's tattoo marks merged into one horrifing mask of pure horror... Sasuke trembled as the massive hand-like wings ripped through his skin and tee-shirt, glistening in the afternoon sun...
I can't hold this form for very long...damn it, i can already feel it burning... Obito laughed as he saw Sasuke, doubled over in pain and gasping for air.
" Is this all you can do snake-boy?", Obito hissed as he activated his own Sharingan... Five little dots apeared on the surface of his blood red pupils... Sasuke felt the rush of energy as Gaara started to shift. Silently calming himself down he closed his eyes... unaware of the charging Obito...
Suki raced back towards Suna as fast as she could, the pounding of her father's blows rumbling the ground like an earthquake. Daimen was twitching violently on her back, as the nurses tried to seal the wound. The gates to Suna quickly drew apon the small team, as Suki pounded harder into the softer sand of the trading path. Daimen's power was fading fast, as Suki drew nearer to the gates.
"Ms Sand, he's not looking too good!", one of the medics screamed from her back. The blonde haired kunochi was leaning over the little demon, her slender hand rested just above his sloar-plexus. His shallow breathing was loud and struggled as she moved her hand to the stab wound.
"Ino-chan, he's burning up! His head feels like it's on fire", another kunochi shouted, dragging her hand away from under his forhead protector. Ino shrugged.
"Suki, how far away are we?", Ino asked her.
"Not far...right here!", Suki growled as she skidded to a sudden hault. Almost all the kunochi and medic ninjas losy their balance for a moment. A huge tail curved over them all and enclosed over Daimen.
"Here take him, i need to help Mum and Dad!", Suki said, throwing the semi-concious Daimen into Ino's waiting arms.
"Just go Suki!", Ino shouted up at her. Suki snorted softly, nudged her brother with her muzzle and bounded off again.
"That kid reminds me so much of her mother...and it's kinda annoying", Ino smiled to her associates. They all nodded in agreement and looked up to meet the frantic calls of the gate-guards.
"Mrs Akimichi! What happened?!?!", the closest guard called. Ino looked up, pale blue-grey eyes fixed apon the 'large-boned' guard racing up to her.
"A fight, Gaara and Sakura-sama are fighting off a member of the Akatsuki. They were after the kids all along...seems Jiraiya was wrong this time", Ino said solemly. The guard nodded.
"So what happened to Daimen-sama?", the guard asked Ino. Ino shook her head.
"I'm not sure...Suki said he got stabbed by Sasori...but the wound looks like it's been torn", Ino said, looking down at the huge gaping hole in Daimen's chest. The guard and a few others gasped as she mentioned the forbidden name. Chouji had seen Sasori on one of his missions once...the rest of his squad was anahilated...the squad that hadn't stayed on the main track. Shortly after that Chouji had asked her out...and a year after that...married her. She looked back on their wedding day all the time... Sasori of the Red Sand was from this country, and it didn't suprise her that he was in the vicinity, but at the moment he was the least of her worries...Gaara would kill her if she let Daimen die, and the sounds of his breathing was getting softer and softer... She cringed at the mental image of a very pissed off Gaara...
"Hurry up and get him into the theatre...", Ino shouted at the medics. They all nodded in unison and heaved Daimen onto the streacher, and started off down the hills towards the hospital...
Sasuke readied himself for another Chidori as Obito charged again... The white-blue chakra swirled and whistled as Sasuke ran at Obito, the distinct bird calls echoing around the cliffs...Sasuke grinned evilly as he ploughed into Obito, his hand burrying itself in his soft stomach. Obito coughed, showering Sasuke in globules of blood...Sasuke smirked and stepped back, admiring his work thouroghly. Obito slumped to the ground, the ghostly apparation floated out of his body, turning a dark-translucent purple...
"Obito! Get your ass off the floor right now and kill him!!!!!", Madara roared. Gaara peered at the floating shape and chuckled. So Madara's back is he? Great...but why is he with that Obito guy? Sakura growled again, stepping hesitantly forwards... Gaara put out his arm, stopping her dead in her tracks.
"OBITO!!!! Hurry up! We need the demons!", Madara yelled at him again. Obito rolled over onto his stomach, pushing himself up with his arms. The hole made by the Chidori sparked and smoked...the damage was clear, but how was he standing with an injury like that? Obito hissed as pain lacerated this lower abdomen. Sakura started to hiss as he stood up, the thick black fringe masking his onxy eyes... A sudden shudder of power rippled the ground, sending everyone present to the floor...all exept...Obito... A smoke bomb exploded before anyone could fix on anything, followed by a massive purple flash...A sudden wind started to shift away the smoke, revealing something no one was ever expecting...Gaara gasped as the shape emerged from the remaining smoke...
