Living Human Puppet Sasori
Sakura used as little chakra as she can to heal her's and Chiyo's wounds.
While she was doing that Sasori figured out how she made an antidote, and that she was a medical ninja.
Sasori heard rumors of the leaf's new medical program and knew Sakura was one of the former students.
Sasori took off his cloak revealing to be a self human puppet with weapons sticking out of his back, a cord coming out from a compartment of his abdomen, a scroll holder with scrolls in it attach to his back, and a cylinder in the chest.
"That explains, why you haven't age since you left the sand village," Chiyo said, "You turned yourself into a human puppet."
Meanwhile during Kakashi and my chase to save Gaara, I turned to Kakashi curious about that new jutsu.
"So Kakashi-sensei, how is that jutsu going to help us save Gaara?" I asked at a low tone so that Deidara wouldn't hear us.
"Well, it's a long distance jutsu, which would help, since our opponent is a long distance type, but that doesn't mean it'll stop him long enough to save Gaara," Kakashi said, "However with you being mostly a close range type, we can work together to slow him down enough to save Gaara."
"Alright, then tell me what we need to do," I said.
"One thing, we need to find away to create an opening for the attack, which will be hard consider we're up against an opponent that was able to infiltrate the sand village and took down Gaara," Kakashi explained, "With that in mind, even with your bat transformation, and the teleportation jutsu, it'll be difficult to stop him."
"So what then?" I asked.
"Just listen, and I'll explained everything to you," Kakashi said.
Back at the hideout, Sakura and Chiyo were using large boulders for shields against the flames coming at them from cannons on Sasori's hands.
Sasori stopped the flames and then send a weapon like cord from his abdomen.
It struck Sakura on the side and hit the ground behind her.
"Now die," Sasori shouted going after Chiyo.
Sakura use the cord and pulled it over and over.
"Chiyo hasn't took the antidote, I can't allow her to be hit," Sakura thought pulling until it reached it's end.
Sasori stopped cold in front of Chiyo before was thrown toward Sakura.
Sakura punched Sasori into multiple pieces
The cylinder hit the ground as well far from the parts.
"It's over," Sakura thought in relief as the three minutes were up.
She stopped cold as she heard the parts come together until Sasori was whole again.
Chiyo knew it was trouble as she use chakra string to pull her arm back knowning that now that the 3rd Kazekage puppet was destroyed the effect of the iron sand should be gone for both her arm and Mother and Father puppets.
Sakura watch as Chiyo's puppet arm reattach.
Chiyo took out one of her last scrolls, opened it and summoned 10 of her own puppets, all wearing white cloaks.
"Impressive, they said the strength of a puppeteer is the number of puppets they can use at once," Sasori said, "This is the famous technique that took down a base of grandmother's."
"This is incredible," Sakura thought.
Sasori pulled out his scrolls from their slots, opened them, then open a compartment from his chest.
Hundreds of chakra strings appeared as Sasori summoned 100 puppets of his own, each having a red cloak.
"You're very unfortunate, I rarely have to use all 100 of my puppets," Sasori said.
"Sakura, the first antidote has worn off, we both have 1 antidote left," Chiyo said, "We can't afford waisting the final 2 antidotes right now."
"I know that's why I would wait for an opening to attack," Sakura said.
Sasori send all his puppet at them at that moment.
Chiyo used her puppet's every weapon traps to fight off as many of the 100 puppets as she could.
However more kept coming after they were destroyed.
"To many," Chiyo thought.
All of the sudden Sakura came out of nowhere and punch one of the puppets shattering it.
"We need to save the antidote," Chiyo thought.
Suddenly an attack from a puppet hit her side.
Chiyo used one of her good puppets to destroy the one that attack her.
"Lady Chiyo," Sakura said.
"Don't worry Sakura, just go after Sasori, leave the rest to me," Chiyo said.
"Right," Sakura said.
She headed toward Sasori, dodging every attack as Chiyo used her puppets to protect her.
Finally Sakura had an opening and threw a puppet head Chiyo gave her.
It grew into its real form and slam into Sasori into a wall sealing him and his chakra.
However during the sealing the cylinder removed itself from Sasori's puppet body.
Chiyo took out the antidote and jab it into her as the poison finally was taking effect.
Suddenly one of Sasori's puppets took form of Sasori and grabbed a sword as the cylinder was in it now.
Sakura noticed it as Sasori went to attack Chiyo.
Sakura moved in front of Chiyo and took the hit of the blade right through her chest.
Chiyo quickly finish the injection and send chakra strings to Mother and Father puppet while making it look like she was collapsing.
Mother and Father puppet came from behind and stabbed Sasori right through the cylinder.
"How did you know?" Sasori asked.
Chiyo removed the blade and search Sakura's pouch and found the last antidote and inject it into her.
"I had a theory when I saw you put yourself together, and you proved it when you went to attack," Chiyo said, "That cylinder was the only thing left of your human self, the only thing allowing you to move even though you're a human puppet, your heart."
Chiyo tried to heal Sakura as best as she could finding it not working.
"It won't work, the blade penetrated her heart," Sasori said, "She's good as dead."
"Maybe not," Chiyo thought and used a jutsu she created.
"I'm telling you its pointless," Sasori said.
"I'm not trying to heal her, I'm reviving her," Chiyo said.
Sasori then understood what Chiyo was doing, as it was a jutsu she originally created for him.
"That's right I'm using portion of my life energy into her as a reanimation jutsu," Chiyo said, "Normally I have to sacrifice myself, but since Sakura isn't dead yet, I won't have to."
Sakura started gaining conscious and heard Chiyo.
"Young girl you wanted info on Orochimaru am I correct?" Sasori asked Sakura once she was up.
"Yeah," Sakura said.
"In congratulation for defeating me, I'll share some info with you," Sasori said, "In 10 days from now, at the Tenchi bridge at the grass village, I'm suppose to meet one of my spies that is working for Orochimaru. However it seems I won't be able to go there, but if you go there you might get what you're looking for from Orochimaru."
With that info Sasori finally died.
Chiyo knew then that Sasori purposely let her kill him.
"Sakura, let's go find your sensei and teammate, they might have gotten Gaara back by now," Chiyo said, "I have one more thing to do."
Sakura remembered the reanimation jutsu and understood what she meant.
A/N
Reanimation: Bringing life to a lifeless body.
It may seem like a wild imagination, but scientist been studying the possibility of something like that for years, and thanks to it we can do successful transplant of the heart without killing the one having it. However despite the studies and test on the subject, it's still proven impossible to bring someone that was already dead for a long time back to life.
However I won't say that miracles aren't possible, because I know everyday miracles can happen.
Also so that you know why I didn't go back to the sand village with Kankaro Temari and a squad of sand ninjas assembling, or try to include Team Gai's battle, is that for this arch I was trying to focus on Sakura's and Chiyo's battle against Sasori, and Naruto's and Kakashi's battle against Deidara.
Lastly I'm having Naruto's battle against Deidara and bringing Gaara out from dying and NOT being dead, into one chapter so that there won't be any chapters to short.
Also I'm not going to use what Jiriaya warned Naruto about him using against Deidara but it WILL appear later.
Next Time: Kakashi and I put our plan into action into saving Gaara. With Kakashi's new Sharingan, and my giant Rasengan, I'm sure we can get Gaara away from Deidara. But can we save Gaara, and beat Deidara? Read to Find Out...
