All but 2 tailed beasts are left, Naruto and Gaara.

Sunagakure, land of Sand,

Naruto, Sidra, Hikari, Hinata, Neji and Yukiko walked closer and closer to the city.

"So Naruto are you any worried at taking on Gaara?" Sidra asked.

"No, I'm not, if Gaara is necessary to reform my clan it's all worth it in the end." Naruto said, the thing was Naruto wasn't aware that Gaara had to be killed in order for the one-tail in him to be harvested, Tobi kept that quite to him so he wouldn't refuse.

Suna's gates and lookout towers.

"Baki, we've spotted Akatsuki members heading towards our city!"

"Someone inform the Kazekage." Baki said.

"As for you get the gates sealed up and call the security force."

Kankuro and Temari arrived to see the 6 Akatsuki cloaks get bigger and closer, but when they got there a huge surprise dawned upon them.

"Huh, Naruto?" Kankuro said in shock that Naruto had on an Akatsuki cloak.

"What are you doing with the Akatsuki?" Temari asked the previously little brat Naruto.

"We are Akuzura and we need the one-tail from Gaara." Naruto replied he didn't seem like making jokes he was dead serious now.

"Hand over the Kazekage now." Sidra demanded.

"And if we don't want to?" Kankuro said.

"If you want to kill our brother you'll have to go through us first!" Temari yelled.

"This will be fun." Yukiko and Hikari said.

Naruto held his arm blocking the 2 as they went forward "No leave this to me." He said.

"I will be with you Naruto." Hinata said wanting to fight too.

"Okay then, we'll go on ahead." Sidra warps herself, Neji, Hikari and Yukiko behind Temari and Kankuro and continued on into the village.

"Hey wait!" Kankuro sends Crow flying after the 4, but somehow Crow was stopped dead, he was bound by a shadow, Hinata reappeared from her shadow and she had Crow unable to move with a shadow strangler jutsu, it would seem that she also gained more shadow techniques from Yukiko then the average ninja would.

"Your opponents are us." Naruto said.

Temari opened her fan with all 3 moons showing and waved it, an enormous wind headed towards Naruto, but Naruto simply held his palm out and the wind attack was repelled in an instant the repelling force sends Temari falling into the sand behind her.

"What was that?" Temari asked. 'He wasn't able to do that before, then how?"

Naruto looked on as if he already won the battle.

Naruto creates a shadow clone and generates a rasengan in his hand.

'Got to move before he does!' Temari uses her attack "Ninja Art, Cyclone Scythe Jutsu!"

A large slicing wind headed towards Naruto and it exploded in a fury, but when the smoke cleared Naruto wasn't damaged at all, he was surrounded by a wind sphere, it was his rasengan, but much bigger.

"This is my Rasengan Barrier."

"My turn, Rasengan!" Naruto charged at Temari with his shadow clones creating 2 rasengans in his hands, Naruto jumps and strikes down with his rasengan, Temari rides her fan with the wind to rise above Naruto's attack, as she dodges she sees that the spiral from Rasengan caused the sand to spiral like a twister, Naruto had planned 2 steps ahead and the sand twister completely surrounded Temari and blinded her from attacks.

"Now then." Naruto jumps into the sand twister as well.

"Almighty Push!" Naruto's hand was directly on Temari's stomach, he blasts a massive wind chakra attack and it sends Temari flying into the sand and crashing hard, her fan lands right behind her and Naruto lands knowing he would win the battle all along.

Meanwhile.

Kankuro launches his 3 puppets, crow, black ant and salamander at Hinata, first crow and salamander circled Hinata at high speeds, Hinata wasn't worried she simply stood and didn't move.

"Now let's go, puppet show!" Kankuro yells, crow fires 2 kunai at Hinata, but Hinata stops the attack with her kunai in hand, the Byakugan had an almost 360 degree range so she could tell exactly where the attacks came from. Salamander was next throwing 3 toxic needles, but the same thing occurred again, Hinata had improved greatly thanks to Yukiko and Hikari's training.

"My turn." In a mere moment Hinata was gone she vanished into thin air. A shallow shadow moved quick on the ground and went behind Kankuro, it was too late for him to notice, Hinata appeared behind him and struck his right arm with a chakra focused palm blocking the chakra points, in return blocking Kankuro's chakra strings and Kankuro could no longer operate Black Ant's body.

"Ugh." Suddenly Black Ant appeared below Hinata and she was flung into the air, black ant opened it's stomach chamber and once Hinata fell in the chamber closed.

Crow disassembled itself and several blades came out of its arms and legs.

"Secret black technique, Iron Mace!" The several blades from crow stuck into black ant like pistons to a machine.

"Now she's dead." Kankuro said thinking he won.

"No." A shadow engulfed Black Ant and Hinata's body appeared out of that shadow she wasn't damaged in the least.

"I'm ending this."

Hinata disappeared once again and reappeared above Kankuro.

"Oh no!" Kankuro said as Hinata came down on him.

"Eight-Trigrams 2 Palms." After the first 2 hits Hinata disappeared again.

Hinata reappears behind Kankuro and strikes. "4 Palms." Hinata disappears and Kankuro looked behind him. Hinata once again appears behind Kankuro and strikes.

"8 Palms." Kankuro kept looking, but Hinata was gone the moment he looked.

"16 Palms, 32 Palms." Hinata appears right in front of Kankuro for the final attack.

"64 Palms!" Kankuro fell down in defeat, all his chakra points were shut off so he couldn't move.

Hinata was proud of herself, she combined the shadow techniques with her gentle fist techniques for massive results.

"Wow, Hinata that was great!" Naruto said just finishing up with Temari.

"You were good to Naruto." Hinata complimented back. It was clear that Naruto and Hinata's new techniques made them a lot stronger than any of their friends.

"Now Gaara, I hope the others are okay."

"Right."

Naruto and Hinata rush to the city center, while Temari and Kankuro lie unable to go after the 2, and in even more shock on how the 2 seemingly weakest and most hopeless 2 from the Chunin exams 3 years ago have now crushed them without a sweat.

Suna's center, roof of Kazekage office.

"That's as far as you go." Gaara said.

"Well now Gaara of the Sand, and also the one-tailed jinchuurriki." Sidra said.

"As Kazekage, I won't let you destroy this city." Gaara said.

"Sand Tsunami!" A large wave of sand goes towards the 4 Akuzura members.

"Eight-Trigrams Rotation!" Neji reflects the sand attack from hitting the others.

"Wind Style Spiraling Dragon!" Hikari called out.

"Fire Style Fireball Jutsu!" Sidra added.

The wind collided with the fire making the flames go wild and burn up the area with tremendous power.

When the smoke clears, there wasn't a scratch Gaara encased himself in a sand impermeable sphere.

Yukiko jumps up and turns her body into a shadow, the shadow goes into the sand.

Inside the sand sphere, Gaara seemed safe, until.

Yukiko bursts into the sand sphere her scythe almost cutting Gaara in half thereby making the sphere lose shape and forcing Gaara to implode the sphere from the inside.

"Grr." Gaara gathers the sand from the village and a huge Tsunami of sand forms with Gaara standing on top.

"Now take this!" Gaara unleashes a massive tsunami of sand, it engulfs the 4 Akuzura members.

However when the sand clears no one was found. Sidra appears above Gaara and strikes down with her Inferno Shuriken charged and ready.

"AHHHH!" Gaara is fried by the powerful attack. An explosion surrounds Gaara and Sidra and out of the smoke Gaara falls from the high distance and just when about to hit the ground when the sand carries him down gently.

"I'm not done." Gaara gets up once again.

Gaara sends massive amounts of sand at the 4 surrounding them with a sand wall.

Gaara makes his move, "Sand Coffin!" Gaara closes his palm into a fist and the sand quickly bursts and crushes the 4 inside the walls, or so he thought.

When the sand finally moves no one was in the coffin. However behind Gaara, Naruto and Hinata showed up.

"Almighty Push!"

"Eight-Trigrams Shadow Storm 64 Palms!"

"Amaterasu."

"Wind Style Great Typhoon."

Gaara reacts quickly and creates a wall of sand to try and defend against the attacks, but at the single smirk on Naruto the attacks burst right through the sand.

The 4 attacks blast out at Gaara sending him into a wall. Gaara struggles, and as he sees Naruto he falls unconscious.

"We're out of here" Hikari, Neji, Hinata, Naruto and Yukiko disappear in smoke, while Sidra warps Gaara and herself to the Akatsuki Hideout for the extraction.

Baki looks on at the next Kazekage killed as the 3rd, 4th and now 5th were gone.

"Gaara." He says in shame.

In a field nearby nowhere.

"So you're Itachi's brother." Deidara said to Sasuke who looked at him with a sharingan glare.

"You look like good material, I'll add you to my collection." Sasori mentions.

Deidara interrupts "No my man."

"I want him, I just can't stand those eyes, once I kill him you can have him for a puppet, but he's mine."

"Hmm." Sasuke runs so fast that the 2 Akatsuki barely had any time to dodge, he came with his katana slicing the ground with an uppercut to Deidara and Sasori, Deidara jumps freely away, and Sasori uses his repaired cable to jump to a much higher tree way out of Sasuke's range.

"Very well Deidara, take care of him." Sasori says letting Deidara take Sasuke out.

"I think I'll start off with some C-1 bombs." Deidara puts his hands into the bags of detonating clay he has and throws a massive amount of spider-like clay bombs as if they were confetti.

Sasuke gathers lightning energy in his hand and waves it sending needles of lightning piercing every bomb Deidara threw at him and sending them every which way.

"Not bad." Deidara says.

"Now this", Deidara creates 3 bird and sends them at Sasuke, just as they were about to hit, Sasuke disappears in a second and appears behind Deidara with his katana ready, Deidara flings another bomb and detonates it instantly, covering them both in smoke.

Sasori stood without worry. "Hmm."

Deidara and Sasuke both got out of the explosion without damage.

"You're not bad, you are Itachi's brother after all." Deidara said.

"Save the compliments just tell me where Itachi is."

"You want to know, well I won't tell you."

Deidara unleashes a giant centipede clay figure and it chases after Sasuke.

'This is the C-1 Snake." Sasori thinks.

"Now", Deidara makes his hand sign and the snake fires a spider like a bullet at Sasuke and it explodes.

When the smoke clears Sasuke was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly he comes at Deidara with a chidori and barely misses as Deidara jumps back.

"How?" Deidara asks.

"That was my genjutsu." Sasuke explains.

'Genjutsu, well, well Itachi, brothers think alike.' Deidara hated genjutsu very much.

"Now!" Suddenly the snake comes out of the ground and wraps around Sasuke binding him.

'It's over.' Sasori thinks

Sasuke uses Chidori from there and in a bright flash of light Sasuke was standing and the snake was on the floor lifeless.

"Now Amaterasu!" Sasuke's eyes rotated with blood and black flames engulfed Deidara.

"Ah, ugh!" Deidara falls and struggles until he was no longer moving, the black fire consumed him completely.

"It's over." Sasuke says going towards Deidara, but suddenly Deidara's body lighted up and exploded in a mere 3 seconds.

Sasuke took a giant jump back and barely escaped the explosion.

Deidara stood above on a bird flying high above Sasuke.

"A clay clone, I fell for it." Sasuke said in anger as he fell for an old trick that could have killed him.

Pain radioed in. "Deidara, Sasori come back to base."

"What I'm in the middle of something here!" Deidara yelled back.

"We have the one-tail, now come back!"

"Fine."

"Hey kid, I have to leave so you're lucky."

"But I don't leave without having a blast."

Deidara takes out his C-3 bomb and drops it. Deidara's bird flies over and grabs Sasori out of the tree and flies away.

"I will kill him someday." Deidara said grudgingly as he flew away.

"Urgh!" The bomb detonated with Sasuke standing there. The blast wiped out the area's trees and animals when the smoke cleared there was a 2 kilometer crater in the plains.

The smoke clears, purple energy surrounded Sasuke, his Susanoo armor had protected him from the C-3 attack.

"Hmm." Sasuke leaves again on the hunt for Itachi.
