The Truth
"This is," Chiyo said.
"Do you know this man?" Kakashi asked.
The man was a dark hair man wearing the Akatsuki's robes.
"Yes, he's Yuura and he's a council member of the sand village," Chiyo explained.
"I knew something was off when I hit him with my giant Rasenga," I said.
"Is it some kind of Ninjutsu?" Sakura asked.
"None that I heard of," Chiyo answered.
"It was no Transformation considering that fireball was the real thing," Kakashi said, "The Uchiha Clan created that jutsu, its their specialty."
Meanwhile Itachi and Kisame were at the mountains proud as they did their job and saved the amount of chakra needed.
Sasori wasn't so happy as the two bodies were his subordinates.
Chiyo send a mechanical bird back to the sand with news of what she learn.
"They probably going to use the one-tail to make a new Jinchuriki," Chiyo said, "Before Gaara there were 2 other Jinchurikis of the Shukaku, and each of them died immediately after the Shukaku was removed."
"What if the tail beast wasn't sealed yet?" Sakura asked.
"They're trapped in their host forever unable to act on their will freely forced to send their power to the host," Chiyo said.
"It'll be fine Sakura," I said, "I won't be sealed that easily, and Gaara will be fine."
"But Naruto," Sakura responded.
"If I was going to be sealed into someone or something I would have been sealed years ago," I said, "I'll be fine."
Chiyo was confuse as she still didn't know that I was the new tailed beast.
Later that night we rested for the night.
Team Gai was resting as well especially since Gai opened 6 inner chakra gates.
Chiyo and Kakashi were still awake as Sakura and I were asleep.
Chiyo look at me thinking of a small boy with red hair.
"Kakashi, what is Naruto exactly?" Chiyo asked.
Kakashi turned to Chiyo confuse.
"At first I thought he was a Jinchuriki like Gaara, but now that I think about it, that tail before, his power he showed earlier…" Chiyo said, "There's no way a Jinchuriki could be that powerful turning into the beast sealed in them."
"That's because he isn't a Jinchuriki," Kakashi explained, "His full name is Naruto Uzumaki, also known as the Nine-Tail Fox's Son."
"The Nine-Tails…I heard that the boy was allowed to live, but I never thought he was allowed to be a ninja," Chiyo said.
"The 4th Hokage made arrangements for Naruto to become a ninja by his choice," Kakashi said.
Chiyo thought about something back during the battle.
"Who was this Takashi boy Naruto was talking about while he was under Genjutsu?" Chiyo asked.
"Takashi, in simplest terms, was Naruto's first friend. In fact he was the one who taught Naruto about trust in friendship and other things," Kakashi said, "You see Naruto use to tell us that he lived a lonely life. He was hated cause of his father, and he use to pull pranks to get back on them. At that time he had no single human friend. It should sound familiar since that's the life a Jinchuriki goes through, just like Gaara."
"This Takashi person, he's dead isn't he?" Chiyo asked.
"Yes, apparently he was shot and killed. That's why Naruto wants to save Gaara, so he wouldn't loose another friend," Kakashi said, "But the thing is, Takashi left Naruto a gift, because thanks to Takashi, Naruto can make friends with almost anyone, and gain their trust."
Chiyo look down thinking about what Kakashi said.
"Okay everyone, break time is over," Kakashi said waking us.
We headed off after that.
Team Gai headed off after they recovered as well.
The next day the extraction was completed.
Gaara hit the ground unconscious thought to be dead by the Akatsuki.
Team Gai arrived at the entrance.
"The scent is strong here," Shippo said.
Neji activated his Byakugan and look in it.
"I can't explain what I see in there," Neji said.
Gai tried to punch the rock but it did nothing.
The Akatsuki could hear the noise and Sasori and Deidara decided to handle it as the others leave.
"What should we do?" Tenten asked.
"We have to break the barrier first," Gai said, "You're late Kakashi."
Kakashi, Sakura, Chiyo and I landed at the lake with them.
"We ran into some trouble," Kakashi said.
"Naruto, Sakura," Lee responded seeing us.
"Naruto," Neji responded.
"Hey been a long time," I greeted.
"Who's the old lady?" Tenten asked.
"She's an advisor for the hidden sand village," I explained, "She maybe old but she's good."
"So Kakashi what do you think about the barrier?" Gai asked.
"it's a 5-prong seal, that seal tag is one of five, they're probably separated and can only be removed if all five are removed at the same time," Kakashi explained.
"Naruto I'm going home," Shippo said after jumping on my head.
"Alright, make sure Kurama knows what you been through," I said.
"Right!" Shippo responded before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Neji activated his Byakugan and found the other 4 seals.
"There's one ontop of a rock 500 meters northeast. One on a trunk of a tree 350 meters south east," Neji said, "One on a rock wall 650 meters northwest. Final one inside a groove of a tree 800 meters southwest."
"Considering the distance we'll need our radios," Gai said pulling out his.
Team Gai and Kakashi put on their radio, as Gai and Lee tied their headbands over their foreheads to go with it.
"Frequency should be set at 174," Gai said before he Neji Tenten and Lee jumped off 4 separate directions.
I didn't say anything but I could sense faint life in Gaara in the cave. It was weak and by how it feels, its getting weaker by the hour.
Team Gai arrived at the four destinations.
"Okay everyone on three," Gai said.
They grab the tags as well as Kakashi with the one on the boulder.
"Sakura get ready to punch the wall," I said.
"Right," Sakura responded.
All 5 pull the seal off as Sakura ran up and punch the wall.
The wall shattered in pieces as we look inside to see a empty cave except for Deidara and Sasori who was standing over Gaara.
"We're to late," Kakashi said.
Meanwhile at all 4 areas the ground or water formed clones of Tenten Neji Lee and Gai that they were facing.
"It seems we fell for a trap," Gai said.
A/N: I decided to stop here since this is where the battle begins. Anyways since there's not a certain thing that was in the episodes of Naruto Shippuuden with Team Gai's Battle I'm not going to focus on them. Mainly on Sakura's and Chiyo's battle and Naruto's and Kakashi's Battle.
Also I let Belletrist Word Salad adopt The Nine-Tail Fox's son to create their own version. So check out God's Mercy
Next Time: Kakashi and I go after Gaara to rescue him from Deidara while Sakura and Chiyo battle against Sasori. However the battle seem more intense than we thought. How will we survive this battle? Read To Find Out...
