Ahem... first off... I'M SO SORRY! *bows repeatily* i'm sorry that i disappeared off the face of the planet but college started up and i've been so busy! Hopefully, (although that's never going to happen) i'll get in the swing of things and soon it will be easy, but for now, i'm updating when i have the time and right now it's slim, with Organic Chem (NEVER TAKE IT!) and Bio 1, it's hell.

Again, i'm sorry.

Disclaimer; i own Nothing of Naruto, only Miyuki

Recap;

Naruto saw the tears start to form in Sakura's eyes. "You're always moved to tears Sakura-chan. I told you not to worry. Because I'll rescue Gaara."

"Naruto! It's you I'm-"

Naruto cut her off, "Let's go." He spoke, walking off.

Miyuki put a hand on Sakura's shoulder, "Just as you have grown Sakura, so has Naruto, just wait." She said, calming the teenager, before they took off.

They were traveling faster. They had no choice, it was a race against the clock to save Gaara, and no one wanted the clock to win. 'Jigoku, can you get a closer look to the seal?' Miyuki asked the still hidden dragon.

It was a second before his deep horsed voice was heard. Five Seal… within this cave… it seems, different.

'What do you mean?'

A large chakra. Could be an interesting fight.

Miyuki sighed, before looking to Kakashi, "Jigoku found out what the Seal says, 'Five Seal'." She said to him.

Kakashi nodded. It wasn't long before they hit the entrance, only beaten by Gai and his team. Gai looked back, "You're late Kakashi."

"Well, we ran into a bit of trouble on the way." Kakashi explained.

"Naruto! Sakura!" Lee said.

"Yo!"

"I hope you weren't talking about me Kakashi." Chiyo joked.

"Who's this old woman?" Gai asked.

"She's an advisor from Suna." Miyuki explained, before Gai embraced her tightly.

"Miyuki! It's been such a long time! You still look youthful as ever!" He spoke to her.

"G-Gai! I… I can't breathe!" She mustered out, his hugs were always hugs of death and suffocation.

Gai let her go, "Right! We need to figure out how to break this seal!"

Miyuki looked over, snapping her fingers and Jigoku returned to her, flying into her, and she took a second, recalling all the things he had seen. No one had left the cave at all. "So. How to deal with this barrier." Miyuki muttered to the other jounin.

"this particular 'Five Seal' is created by tokens with 'Kin' written on them and placed in 5 places within the vicinity. The 'kin' you see in front of you, and the other tokens are in four other places, to remove the barrier, all of them must be detached." Kakashi paused, "Neji?"

"Understood." Neji spoke, activating his Byakugan. "Found them." He spoke after a minute, "on top of a rock about 500 meters northeast of here. On the trunk of a tree on a river bank 350 meters southeast. On a wall of rock about 650 meters northwest, inside a grove about 800 meters southwest."

"Right!" Gai said, pulling out radio's, "if it's that range, we'll use these radios, while we're taking Neji's directions we can keep in communication and we'll find the locations of the tokens." He said, handing radio's to his team and Kakashi. "Speed wise, my team is faster, the frequency is 174. Wait for our message!"

"Right. It's up to you." Kakashi said, placing the radio on.

"Team Gai! Let's go with the full power of youth! Scatter!" He shouted as they took off.

Miyuki sighed, 'He hasn't changed one bit.' she thought, tightening the bandages on her hand. She took the cloth off her eye, and tied her head band on her forehead, stuffing the cloth into her pocket. "Kakashi. Button-hook entry?" She asked, stepping to the side, Naruto and Chiyo doing the same.

Kakashi looked down from where he was, "Of course." he said, amusement in his voice, then looked at Sakura as he ripped the seal off when he heard Gai's team remove, "Sakura!" he said as he pushed himself off.

Sakura nodded, running up and slamming her fist into the boulder, smashing it. Within instants, Sakura and Chiyo had taken one side, and Miyuki, Naruto and Kakashi had taken the other side, keeping their backs against the wall. Miyuki looked forward, and she could see three figures. One was kept to the ground, large and bulky, with tan skin like hers, the other one was sitting down, long blonde hair kept in his face and a pony tail, and there was a large clay like bird. Miyuki noticed that the blonde was sitting on someone. And that someone was Gaara. 'Damn. Don't tell me we were too late..' she thought, fist clench.

"Well then, I wonder which one is the Jinchuriki, hm?" The blonde spoke.

"You bastards! I'll smash you to pieces!" Naruto yelled out, becoming enraged.

"That one." The larger man spoke.

"Seems like it." The blonde replied.

Naruto saw Gaara, "Gaara! What're doing sleeping there? Stand the hell up!" He yelled, "Hey!-"

"Naruto. Stop." Kakashi said, "You should understand.."

"Yeah yea. Don't you get it? He's well dead!" The blonde said.

"Give him back… give Gaara back you bastards!" He spoke, rushing forward.

Miyuki grabbed his jacket sleeve, seeing the rage, and the transformation, "Naruto! Get a grip! If you go rushing in like this, you'll get yourself killed!" She hissed, pulling him back, trying to calm him down.

"I'll take this one.' The larger one said, "It seems like this Jinchuriki wants to take this one back."

"Master, this might make you angry," The blonde started, "But, I'll handle the Jinchuriki, hm?"

"The assignment is one Bijuu to one person, don't push it Deidara."

"If an artist doesn't get high levels of inspiration, his sediments are dulled, it's said that the Kyubi Jinchuriki is considerably strong." Deidara spoke.

"What? You call those explosions fine art?" The other man, who Miyuki was taking it as Sasori since the other had been named. "Fine art is something wonderful that's left long into the future, eternal beauty." Sasori argued.

"They involve the same skilled labor I respect you, but still, fine art is beauty of a single fleeting moment of explosion."

"What are these people?" Sakura whispered.

"I don't know, but they're getting on my nerves." Miyuki muttered to herself, 'We're suppose to be fighting and they talk about art?'

Naruto broke from her grip, "Stop talking you bastards!" he said, taking a scroll out and bringing up a shuriken and flinging it to them.

Without even glancing, Sasori deflected it. "Deidara, you little shit. Are you trying to piss me off?"

Deidara smiled, "Well, I was right when I said I'd make you angry."

Miyuki tensed, 'Without even so much of a glance.. These guys. I defiantly will have to stay on guard.' she let some of the chakra swirl around her wrist, 'Jigoku.. Looks like you'll get that interesting fight.' she thought as she could hear the low rumble of Jigoku's laugh. She then noticed that the large clay bird was swallowing Gaara.

Deidara stood, "My fine art is explosion, completely different to your little puppet show." He jumped up, missing Sasori's tail. "See you later." he said, flying out.

"Wait the hell up!" Naruto growled, running out.

Miyuki let a frustrated growl, "You wait the hell up Naruto!" She shouted, dashing after him, taking a kunai out. She jumped on top of the gate, standing next to Naruto, "I thought I taught you better than that." She hissed at the teen. She understood. The lost of a friend, it was hard to keep yourself under control. Miyuki looked over as she saw Kakashi stand on the other side of Naruto, lifting his head band up again.

Deidara looked down, "Are you sure you want to fight me? Sharigan Kakashi? I don't know if I should tell you this, but Sasori is stronger than me."

"Sensei! You should go back and help Sakura, I'll rescue Gaara!" Naruto said, making both of the jounin look at him. Before they could say anything, Naruto jumped forward. Deidara's bird moved over, making Naruto crash into the cliff wall. Deidara sent one of the birds towards him.

Kakashi jumped up, throwing a shuriken at the bird. It exploded, sending his shuriken back at him, which he deflected. Miyuki saw it, "Kakashi!" She shouted, doing hand signs and was instantly in front of him. He recognized her motives, he locked his hands together, and as she put her foot in his locked hands, he pushed her up, sending her up.

Miyuki took three other kunai's out, throwing them and all aimed for Deidara. The bird moved, making the kunai miss their target. Deidara sent out birds to her. Her eyes narrowed and she twisted, doing hand signs, "Ryu Sutairu; Mizu no Doragon." She whispered, as the water below shot up in front of her, roaring as the birds crashed into water dragon, exploding. She appeared next to Kakashi on the wall.

Naruto growled, getting out, "There's no way I'm going to let you take Gaara!"

"You're an odd Jinchuriki." Deidara spoke. "I heard that Jinchuriki generally hate people because of their bad moods. But this Gaara one is unusual too. Besides him, two other Jinchuriki up until now were defeated by my peers, their friends and those of their village did nothing to help them. Instead, it appeared as they were helping us. Both so pitiful and detested. You couldn't ignore each other could you? Because Gaara's Bijuu was extracted, he died. You will share the same fate shortly, got it?"

Naruto only looked up at him, "I'm going to kill you!"

Deidara smirked, "I'd like to see you try." he said, flying off, making Naruto dash off.

Miyuki looked at Kakashi, before they both took off, "He never learns.." Miyuki whispered.

Kakashi noticed that Naruto was getting further and further, "Naruto! Wait! Don't go to far away from me!" he called to the blonde. Naruto still didn't let up, and he put his hand on Miyuki's shoulder.

Miyuki didn't even need to know what he wanted to do, she held her hand up, and was instantly next to Naruto. Kakashi put his arm around Naruto's waist, "Hey, didn't I say wait up? Don't worry, we'll defiantly get Gaara back." He said, calming the blonde.

"Listen Naruto," Kakashi began, "You're not use to this opponent. You specialize in close combat, so this long-distance fighter is a bad match up for you. There are only two ways to defeat an opponent like this."

"well what are they?" Naruto asked.

"The first is to draw the opponent into short-range and defeat him there. The other is to outdo the opponent in your long distance attacks."

"How do I do that?"

"Either a companion who specializes in long distance attacks, or someone who can use long range combat support ninjutsu must be in your team. If you have neither, then defeating the enemy is impossible, unless you have the brain's of Shikamaru."

Naruto was getting frustrated, and Miyuki smirked, she caught on, "Kakashi, go ahead and tell him your point, what kind of fighter are you?" She said, keeping her eyes forward.

"Oh, me?" He said, looking at Naruto, "I'm a jounin that has a brain like Shikamaru's and a long range combat support jutsu."

Naruto got it, "Then we have everything we need!"

"So I told you, calm down." He said.

"It's still not going to be easy." Miyuki said, looking up at the bomber, "No matter how much we follow, he's not giving us an opportunity. He's someone who entered Suna by himself and took out Gaara, above all, he is a member of the Akatsuki. We have to create an opening, all of us." She spoke, her eyes seemed to scan the air, as if calculating..

"When you've taken this all in. I'll let you know of the plan." Kakashi added, noticing the voice Miyuki had used. 'She's sinking back to her ANBU stage.' he thought before doing hand signs, "Miyuki, you were curious of my new trick?"

She looked back, now curious, before looking forward, smirking, "Always."

After a while of running, Naruto, once again, got impatient, "Kakashi-sensei, still?"

"I told you, don't be in such a rush, I don't have as much chakra as you so it takes some time, but still…" He paused, before putting his hands down, "I'm all ready now. Ready?"

"That's, what you said before.." Naruto said, making Miyuki look back, and if she wasn't alert, she would have missed her step.

"Yes, a new sharigan." Kakashi saw the look Naruto was giving him, "What is it?"

Naruto even looked at Miyuki before forward, "Kakashi-sensei, Miyu-sensei, it's okay if you guys screw up, I'll finish him off!"

Miyuki smirked, while Kakashi smiled, "Yeah, if you get a chance." He said, before looking up, 'Mangekyou Sharigan!'

She looked up, and was taken back. The space around Deidara, it was distorted. 'What kind of jutsu…' her mouth slightly opened as she saw that Deidara's arm was ripped from him, disappearing. She looked back, seeing Kakashi put a hand over his sharigan eye. She slightly frown, 'It must take a lot of chakra…' she looked forward. Waiting.

Kakashi tried again, but this time Deidara moved down, and Naruto went at him with Rasengan. Deidara jumped back, and Naruto disconnected the head of the bird, which contained Gaara and took it down. Miyuki jumped forward, her left hand had black chakra swirling around it, then within a second it formed a claw. She struck at Deidara in mid air, slashing down his chest.

Deidara gritting his teeth, then sent his knee up to her face. Miyuki put her other hand up, catching the knee, but then pushed off the knee as she barely dodged his punch. She landed on a tree branch, her left hand back to normal, and the bandages had been burnt off, showing the light burn marks she already carried.

She looked over, Kakashi had landed on a tree branch not far from her, and there was a Kage Bunshin of Naruto with him, she looked forward, seeing Deidara on another tree branch.

"Kakashi-sensei! Miyu-sensei! Are you okay?" Naruto called out.

"One way or another." Kakashi muttered, deactivating the Mangekyou.

"Yeah." Miyuki replied, taking a kunai out. "I'll handle Deidara." She said, making the Akatsuki member look at her. 'Good.'

"So, you're the infamous Doragon Aku No, hm? Thought I recognized your Mizu no Doragon from somewhere." Deidara spoke, he saw her smirk. "What's with that smirk."

"If you know me, why let your guard down." she said, as Naruto came from behind him, punching him in the face, sending Deidara to the ground. Naruto created four clones, pinning Deidara down and proceeded to pound on Deidara before putting a Rasengan into him. Turns out, it was only clay.

Miyuki jumped down, putting a hand on Naruto's arm, "Naruto… calm down-" Her eyes looked up as she saw red chakra form around him, "Naruto! Clam down!" She shouted, before his arm pushed her back. She caught her footing, skidding back until her back landed against the tree, stopping her. 'damn it, this soon?'

Kakashi jumped down, reaching Naruto and slapping a seal on his forehead, instantly making Naruto's transformation stop. As Naruto fell back, Kakashi caught him and landed on the ground, and Miyuki joined them. "Are you calmer now Naruto?" Kakashi asked.

They looked over as Sakura and Chiyo joined them, "Finally caught up."
