Chapter 2: Allies and Enemies

Naruto, Kakashi, Shikamaru, and Lee approached the gates and saw a group of bandits charge towards the gates. "This shouldn't be a problem," said Naruto as he wasn't in his Armored Me Form and pulled out a violin, "Song Style-"

"Oohohoho!" was heard from the trees as out of nowhere, preventing Naruto from performing the song as a girl with long neon white hair wearing a mask that covered her eyes and wearing nothing but a satin red bra with black laces and matching panties that tightly hugged her waist appeared between the group, "It appears that I need to entertain these unruly boys." Naruto watched as the girl charged towards the bandits and was about to rush in when he saw one of the attackers turn to stone after the girl kicked him. "No way…" said Kakashi with his visible eye wide at the sight, "It's Hentai Hime!"

"Who?" asked Naruto as the girl slapped a few bandits, turning their faces into stone. "Hentai Hime is a legend in Konoha, Naruto!" said Kakashi with giddy excitement, "Despite wearing only a mask and her underwear, Hentai Hime is a force to be reckoned with as she turns all who see her to stone!" Sounds like the Mero-Mero no Mi, Naruto thought as he remembered Luffy telling him about Boa Hancock, a woman who possessed a similar power. "Hentai…" said Hentai Hime as a pink heart formed after she kissed her fingers, "Kissy Kiss!" The girl blew the heart towards a few bandits before the heart blew up and turned the bandits completely into stone with hearts in their eyes. Hentai Hime then tightly hugged one of the bandits, squishing her breasts against the thug, and said, "Hentai Hug!" The bandit immediately froze into stone before the girl then turned to the three bandits behind her. "I ain't afraid of no half-naked girl," said the bandit in the middle before his face met satin red as Hentai Hime pressed her butt against the bandit's face. "Hentai Tap," the girl said as the bandit turned to stone while she playfully slapped the other two on their rears, turning them to stone as well. The fight continued as Hentai Hime kept turning the bandits to stone with many suggestive attacks before one of them had managed to cut her face.

"Uh oh," said Kakashi as he slightly paled. "What is it Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked before he saw Hentai Hime reach a hand to the bleeding wound on her cheek. "You …cut my face?" said the girl as her hair turned into an obsidian black while an angered look was now on her face and her underwear was now looking like leather and latex, "You…you…YOU CUT MY FACE!" The girl's roared startled both the bandits and Naruto as an enraged Hentai Hime rushed towards them with a threatening look in her eyes. "That, Naruto, is Hentai Hime's Tsundere Mode," Kakashi explained as frightened bandits received backhanded slaps, gut-crunching punches, and the occasional kick to the groin from the girl, each bandits turning to stone from the contact, "When Hentai Hime becomes deeply enraged, her playful and innocent looking personality switches to a personality that is just as sadistic as Anko on a bad day." Naruto paled at the idea as he remembered how bad Anko was on one of her unlucky days and that memory sent a chill down his spine.

Hentai Hime then saw one lone bandit, the leader, as she began to crack her knuckles and said, "You're the last of the fucking bastards." The bandit leader smirked as he said, "If you think I'm afraid of some grouchy skank, then you thought wrong. I know I'm going to have fun with you." Drawing a steel blade, the bandit attacked but was stop after Hentai Hime destroyed the sword with a backhanded swing of her fist that not only turned steel into stone, but broke the blade. The girl then grabbed the man's jewels tightly, causing the brave bandit to yelp while feeling his friend turn to stone. "Never. Piss. Me. Off." said Hentai Hime as her grip kept getting tighter and tighter, "Fucker. Tsundere Heartbreaker." The sound of stone being crushed into dust was heard before silence echoed through the forest until…

"UUUUUUWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" the bandit leader cried until Hentai Hime sharply kick the side of his face, turning the frothing man into stone. The girl returned to normal and saw the Konoha ninja watching with shock while protecting the most precious valuables known to all men. "Hiya," Hentai Hime said cheerfully as she approached the group and gave them a cheerful smile, "It's nice to meet you guys again!" The girl observed the group until she saw Naruto and said, "You must be Naruto, or Straw Hat Ninja to others as I've heard so much about you!" Naruto nervously chuckled as he saw the girl reach out a hand to shake and respectfully backed down. Seeing the still bleeding wound, Naruto held a hand to Hentai Hime's face and said, "Let me take care of your wound." The girl felt the cut close before giving the blonde a smile and said, "Thanks, Straw Hat-kun. Bye-bye!" Before could respond, Hentai Hime quickly skipped into the bushes and vanished as Naruto looked to find not a single trace of her.

"Naruto," said a voice as said blonde turned to see Tsunade, Guy and his students, and a familiar face standing next to her. "Temari?" Naruto asked the Suna kunoichi, "What are you doing here?" Temari looked at Naruto and said, "I'm here as an ambassador from Sunagakure and I was actually thinking about heading back when I heard about the bandit attack." Looking around, Tsunade shook her head and said, "I take it Hentai Hime was here. I'll get ANBU to clean this up and take them to the hospital as I'm sure Hentai Hime will turn them back to normal without anyone noticing as her powers can also reverse this affect."

"Anyway," Tsunade said as members of ANBU began to carry the many statues away, "I have a mission for Team 7 and Team Guy: You are to escort the ambassador of Sunagakure back to her home." Naruto blinked for a moment before he said, "What Team 7? It's only me and Kakashi-sensei." Tsunade chuckled as she said, "I'm glad you noticed that as I'm adding two members to the team. You two can come out."

At that moment, two young teens appeared next to Tsunade via Shushin. One was a young boy with pale skin and short black hair as he had this odd and creepy aura about him. The other was a young girl with lightly tanned skin and oak-brown hair wearing…a light blue nightgown with cloud designs, a matching nightcap, and baby blue slippers and she had a bubble coming from her nose as a small snore from the girl showed that she was asleep. "I would like to introduce you to Team 7's newest members," said Tsunade as she placed a hand on the two teens, "The young boy is Sai and the young girl is Nemu."

The girl continued to snore before she said, "…zzzz…he'o…zzzz…I Nemu-chan…zzzz…" A light shake from Tsunade caused the bubble to pop, lightly waking Nemu from her slumber to reveal silver-grey eyes that were even more sleepier than a Nara's eyes. "Huh…" Nemu said as she rubbed her eyes, "How did I get here? Why am I in uniform? Time for a mission?"

"Yes indeed, Bedwetter," Sai said bluntly with a small smile on his face, "We are here to help Dickless escort the Suna ambassador back home." All was silent until everyone saw Naruto angrily erupted into flames. "What did you call me?" the blonde asked darkly before he began to chase the pale-skinned teen with the rest of Team 7, Temari, and Team Guy following while Tsunade mentally groaned. Naruto is really going to have his hands full with his new teammates, she thought as the Hokage felt a headache coming on, Hopefully Naruto won't kill either one of them.

Inside a dark building, Uzume traveled through the halls as she was meeting the leader behind the Order of the Namaki. She was wearing dark blue pants, leather shoes with a steel plate over the toes, an ivory shirt, and a blood red cape with black flames on the trimmings. It has been three years since she escaped the village with the aide of the Order and she's been training on her powers while the sealing expert was working on unsealing her chakra and so far, only three of those blasted seals were removed as apparently each 'Lock' on her was a separate seal that's more difficult than the last.

Kicking the door open, Uzume saw a figure that was shadowed by not only darkness, but a straw blind while a man with slicked back white hair wearing a purple suit and holding a slim, black cane stood nearby. "Uzume," said the shadowed figure with a stoic tone, "that is the eighth door this month that you have busted. Is something on your mind?" With an audible growl, Uzume said, "Yeah something's on my mind: It's been three damned years and I still can't get even a splinter's worth of chakra! You're Seal Master seemed to be fucking up his end of the deal!"

"Zuzuzu," the man in purple chuckled lightly, "Impatient as ever, Uzume-chan. A lady such as yourself doesn't need to resort to such a violent behavior." The man lightly tossed his cane in front of him before catching it as he continued, "While I am one of the most well-known Seal Masters, these seals are quite intricate as their designs are not only overlapping, but are intersecting with other seals to where even Seal Experts couldn't tell which seal begins and which seal ends where. Of course, since you are the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi's chakra I must also take extra precaution and care as to not make even the slightest error of judgment or a slight twitch of the hand could cause irreversible damage or death. We simply cannot have that now, can we?" The man thoughtfully brought a hand to his chin in slight admiration as he said, "These seal are far too intricate and difficult for any genin or chunin to even dare try to attempt…but then again, the one behind these seals was none other than the famous Straw Hat Ninja."

"Enough," said the shadowed figure as he could sense Uzume Killing Intent, "Fuin, you are to work on the next seal that is located on Uzume's body so that we can further aide her training. I have Eisei and Suigin at Sunagakure to convince the Kazekage to seek shelter here at our base while the Trio are off to try and bring the Gobi here." The man in the purple suit blinked as he asked, "You're seriously sending the Oz Trio to retrieve the Gobi while Eisei and Suigin are at Suna where two members of the Akatsuki are? Shouldn't it have been the other way?" The figure blinked as he said, "No. Eisei's and Suigin's powers would give them an advantage in the desert while the Trio go and convince Han, jinchuriki of the Gobi, to seek shelter here. Now…get to work." Fuin bowed as he said, "Of course."

After Fuin and Uzume left, a sound of a door opening echoed as a circle of light appeared in thin air with a cloaked figure opening the circle from inside. "I bring news to you," said the figure, "Straw Hat has returned to Konohagakure and is escorting Sunagakure's ambassador back to Suna. Send troops, no?" The shadowed figure shook his head and said, "Let Straw Hat meet our two agents as this will test his skills against not only us, but the Akatsuki as well. Even though he does not carry the Kyuubi's soul, Straw Hat will only become more trouble. In the meantime, go back to your world and report anything of importance." The cloaked figure nodded and closed the circle before the light vanished. "Soon," said the shadowed figure as his eyes narrowed, "I will bring forth a new Shinobi Era with me as its founder once I obtain the only known God Fruit known in existence. I shall rewrite the world into the perfect world."

In Sunagakure, Gaara was sitting in his office as he was working on the Kage's mortal enemy, paperwork, while Sunahime was nearby playing with dolls and a few small puppets Kankuro had given to her on her past 'birthdays'. Despite her physical looks, the Ichibi was mentally a child around 11 to 12 years old due to her being possessed by an evil priest. So much has changed, Gaara thought as he looked over to see Sunahime playing with her toys and smiled, and I owe it all to Naruto as his actions have helped us with our recovery.

Sunahime then looked out one of the windows to see something in the sky. The girl walked towards the window and asked, "Hey Gaara-nii, what's that birdie?" The Kazekage looked out to see a snow white bird flying around in the sky and after looking closer, Gaara saw something…or someone riding the bird's back. "That…" said Gaara as he narrowed his eyes, "…is trouble." Sunahime saw the look on her jinchuriki's face and nodded before melding back into Gaara's sand armor as the Kazakage casually walked out of the office.

Night had arrived as Deidara formed a hand seal, setting off a few explosions in hopes of drawing out the target. The only sound the Akatsuki member heard were muffled thumps as Gaara soon floated into the sky with his sand. "You don't know how many times Temari and I had told Sunahime to pick up her toys after she's done playing with them," said Gaara with his husky, monotonous voice as he stared down Deidara, "So as an adult, I expected you to do the same."

"What would a jinchuriki know about REAL art?" Deidara scoffed before tossing out a handful of small spiders made of clay, "Eat this!" The spiders then grew to a large size before exploding, only to be stopped by a shield created from the sand. "Desert Sand…" said Gaara as needles made of sand were launched from the small protective wall, "Senbon Storm Barrage!" Deidara had the clay bird dive to avoid the attack and swoop behind Gaara before he threw more explosive spiders. The Kazekage saw the attack and leapt off the sand mound to avoid the explosion before wings made of sand formed from the gourd on his back. Gaara flew back to Deidara's level before he waved a wing towards the bomber. "Desert Sand: Shuriken!" said Gaara and shuriken made of sand flew towards the Akastuki member and striking the bird on its underside. Deidara created another giant clay bird as he jumped off the previous bird and had it charged before exploding close to Gaara. The cloud had settled to reveal two large claws attached to the Kazekage's arms and the claws had a large chunk missing from the arms due to the explosion.

"So," said Deidara as he smirked in confidence, "you've mastered the Shukaku's sand at this kind of level; honestly I'm not surprised given your record." Gaara soon created a floating mound of sand and landed on it as he said, "Her name's Sunahime; Shukaku was that vile priest who took control of her." The sand attached to Gaara then formed a large falcon in front of Gaara as the Kazekage then said, "Desert Sand: Falcon Blade!" The falcon made of sand then flew towards Deidara as the bomber then held out a small odd looking statue. "You think that a giant bird made of sand's going to stop me," said Deidara as the statue was now as large as the falcon before he threw it, "I'll show you why they call me The MAD BOMBER!"

The statue collided with the falcon and created a massive explosion, destroying the bird made of sand as the Akastuki member dashed through the cloud and leapt off the clay bird with a fist held back. "Concussion Knuckle!" said Deidara as his fist connected with protective sand and created an explosion from contact. Not expecting the explosion, Gaara was launched off the sand as Deidara fell towards him with another attack. "Desert Sand: Steel Armor!" Gaara quickly said as his sand armor changed into a suit of armor made of sand before Deidara's fist connected to his face. "Concussion Knuckle!" Deidara said as an explosion erupted from contact before Gaara fell onto the clay bird unconscious from the attack.

Happy that the capture was a success, Deidara flew away on the bird towards the Akatsuki's base with Sasori in two. "We're being followed," Sasori bluntly said as his partner turned back to see two figures chasing them, "They're with the Order of the Namaki." Deidara scowled a bit before tossing some of his explosives onto the desert floor in hopes of losing their pursuers. Sasori looked to see the figures still following them as he said, "I'll handle them while you get the Ichibi to the hideout." The Mad Bomber nodded as his partner jumped off to confront the two shadows.

Eisei and Suigin stopped as they saw the Akatsuki land before them in hopes of stopping them. "Sasori of the Red Sand," said Eisei as she recognized the mechanical tail, "I'm not surprised to find a scorpion in its home territory." Suigin smirked as he bounced in preparation for a fight before his partner held out her arm. "I'll hold him off while you go rescue the Kazekage," said Eisei as she stared down Sasori, "The Kazekage must be protected by the Order of the Namaki."

The young man scowled a bit before feathers appeared in his hair and part of his exposed skin while his body became compressed with his legs becoming much longer in the form of bird talons. "Devil Fruit?" Sasori said as Suigin quickly vanished with only large tracks in the sand showing where the man once stood. "That's right," said Eisei as a smirk was on her face, "but he's not the only one either…"

With Deidara, the Akatsuki member was gliding through the sky until he noticed a prescence behind him. "That was pretty quick Sasori. Those two must have been rookies," the Mad Bomber said as he turned around to see that he wasn't talking to Sasori. "Sorry, but my name's Suigin," said Suigin as he pointed his short wing-shaped hand to himself, "I'm the fastest man alive next to the Yellow Flash."

"What of the Raikage, A?" Deidara asked before receiving a chuckle from the bird-man hybrid. "Don't make me laugh," Suigin said, "I can dance circles around that pile of muscles as my speed is just that: pure speed. Also helps that I have the powers of the Tori-Tori no Mi, Model: Roadrunner." Deidara went to punch his pursuer, but Suigin quickly jumped over and behind the Mad Bomber. "While this Devil Fruit doesn't give me the proper muscles for heavy fighting like Scaredy Cat or other memberss," Suigin said as he kept dodging all of Deidara's punches, "I instead have the muscles for incredible reflexes and speed, making me perfect for a little hit and run." Suigin swiftly sidestepped another one of Deidara's punches before delivering a series of punches into the Mad Bomber's side.

Deidara held his side as was about to recover when Suigin kicked the Akatsuki member off of the giant clay bird. "Now if you don't mind," Suigin said as he picked up Gaara, "I'm outta here!" Deidara looked from the trees to find that his opponent running away with the Kazekage in tow. Creating another giant clay bird, Deidara climbed on it and had it follow Suigin in hopes of recovering the Ichibi before it was too late.

A couple of days had passed as Team Guy, Temari, and the new Team 7 finally arrived in Sunagakure where Kankuro was being carried by a stretcher. "What happened?" Temari asked as she was concerned for her brother. "It…" Kankuro said as pain was coursing through his body, "It was…the Akatsuki and…and the…the Order…"

"The Order of the Namaki," Naruto said with a serious tone in his voice, "Guess they are still in that war with the Akatsuki. I'd tell you guys more, but Kankuro here needs immediate attention if he was fighting a member from both organizations." Everyone nodded as they retreated back towards Sunagakure, none of them noticing a pair of eyes watching them from underneath the sand. "Straw Hat," said the spy as their eyes vanished further under the sand, "you are really becoming a thorn in our side."

In the hospital, everyone was waiting as Nemu walked out of the room. "We were able to…to remove the poison from…Kan…kuro…zzz" said Nemu as she began to fall asleep, "I…believe that…Straw Hat…was…zzz…zzz" How is a narcoleptic a ninja? Naruto thought as he remembered about telling the others about the Order of the Namaki.

"Now that Kankuro is getting the medical treatment needed, I'll tell you everything about the Order of the Namaki," Naruto said as everyone gathered around him with Nemu laying down on the floor still asleep, "The Order of the Namaki is an organization that, like the Akatsuki, are after the Tailed Beasts with the Order already having Uzume, the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra."

"So what is the difference between the two?" Lee asked, "If they're both after the Tailed Beasts, then why are they at war with each other."

"Because while Jiraiya and I are unsure of why the Akatsuki are after the Tailed Beasts at the moment," Naruto answered with a serious tone, "The Order are planning on reviving the Namaki, their God Tree, by using the power of all nine Tailed Beasts."

"If the Order already has Uzume," Neji stated as he crossed his arms, "then we do not have much to worry about thanks to those seals you have applied."

"Those seals had only bought us some time," Naruto admitted with a cringed look on his face, "Like any seal, the Seven Seals placed on Uzume can be released and undone by another seal master. But I had integrated the seals in a way that one tiny little mistake or hiccup with the unsealing process can become catastrophic as the amount of chakra held back by the seal would be released simultaneously into a huge explosion. And considering Uzume possessing the chakra of the second most powerful Tailed Beast, the resulting explosion would probably decimate Kirigakure's island in the Land of Water."

"Would such an explosion really happen?!" Kakashi asked in honest shock as the idea almost sounds possible. "It is possible," Naruto answered grimly, "You would have to factor in how much time had passed since the sealing has been done and the amount of chakra the person has while adding in the Tailed Beast's chakra should that person be a jinchuriki."

"An prime example of this would be a balloon or an inflatable ball to represent a jinchuriki," Naruto continued as he unsealed a balloon and an exercise ball, both deflated, along with a helium tank. "Now depending on the person's chakra," Naruto said as he began to fill the balloon up with helium until it was the size of his head before going even further, "should the unsealing go wrong…"

*POP!*

"…you would have either a bloody mess to clean up or even a whole building to clean up afterwards," Naruto finished as he picked up the small shreds of the destroyed balloon. The straw hat wearing blonde then began to fill up the exercise ball with helium as he said, "Now were that person be a jinchuriki, the Seven Seals would also have to work in conjunction with whatever seal was used on the jinchuriki…you may want to stand back for this one." Everyone backed away as Naruto kept filling the exercise ball beyond its limits until…

*BOOM!*

The echoing boom caused everyone to cover their ears as the shreds of the exercise ball flew farther than the balloon's. "There goes Kiri," said Kakashi as he picked up a small shred of the 'jinchuriki' as the amount of devastation entered the jonin's mind were the situation happen with a real jinchuriki.

"The only way for the explosion to be smaller and less devastating would be if any of the Seven Seals were to be removed," said Naruto as he collected the shreds of the exercise ball before throwing them into the garbage, "but of course even unsealing just one can be tricky on a jinchuriki."

"But we can't waste any more time," said Naruto as he started heading towards the doors of the hospital, "We have a Kage to save!"

Will Naruto and the others save Gaara from both the Akatsuki and the Order of the Namaki? Don't forget to rate and review!

Ja ne.
