Ino's pov
We continue following the three sand ninja through the forest when we suddenly lose them
"Stay on your toe's guys they could be anywhere" suddenly we are knocked to the ground by a arm of sand we recover quickly and look up to see gaara with some kind of sand surrounding his body making him look like a raccoon
"Gaara stop this now before you do something you regret" gaara just smiles and continues to surround himself with sand
"Gaara please stop I don't want to fight you I just want to help you do you really want shukaku to control you and be released" gaara just laughs
"Your wasting your breath ninetails gaara is under my control I control every muscle in his body he is mine to control" Naruto sighs at his words
"Guys were to late that is no longer gaara but shukaku we have to take him down before that jutsu is complete before he is completely released" we all nod and go on the offensive
"Bring it" shukaku does some handsigns
"Sand bullets" sand come rushing towards us and we scatter we look up to see shukaku gone we begin to look around
"Sasuke can you see shukaku" sasuke activates his sharingan and looks around
"Behind us" we jump out of the way of his sand bullets just in time but sakura was hit head on by one and was pinned to a tree
"Sakura no" sasuke charges a smiling shukaku he tries to hit him but misses ever time
"What's the matter uchiha can you not hit me anymore oh to bad" sasuke is suddenly sent flying into the air and hits a nearby tree shukaku then goes over to sakura who is struggling against the sand that has pinned her shukaku puts his hand on the sand and smiles
"Here lets play a little game every couple of minutes this sand will begin to harden until it kills her if you can not take me down before hen she dies but if you manage to defeat me she will be released that sounds good to me how about the rest of you" shukaku smiles and sasuke goes red with anger
"You bastard let her go" sasuke charges at shukaku we go to help but sasuke stops us
"No he's mine you stay out of this" we stay back as sasuke continues to try to hit shukaku
"If this is the best you got uchiha then she will be dead in no time" sasuke gets angrier at this statement
"Take this Fire style giant fire ball jutsu" he shoots the fire ball at shukaku who stands still and takes it head on the smoke clears and shows shukaku still standing there
"You will have to do better than that uchiha" sasuke then charges his ultimate attack
"Chidori" he disappears and reappears in front of shukaku and strikes him his hand going straight through his abdomen sasuke smiles
"Got ya" sasuke smiles suddenly the sand hardens around his hand much to sasuke's surprise
"Actually it is I who has got you" shukaku then picks sasuke up and throws him into a nearby tree
"Sand bullet" shukaku then shoots sand at sasuke which hits him head on when the sand clears we see a bruised and bleeding sasuke we go over to him and I begin to heal him
"Thanks ino I needed that" sasuke then begins to get up
"Sasuke stay down let me handle this ok" sasuke sighs and sits down and looks at naruto
"Save her naruto please I cant lose her" naruto smiles and nods then turns to shukaku
"Well looks like the uchiha s out that leaves you nine tails lets see if you can handle me" naruto smiles
"Be careful what you wish for shukaku" Naruto then disappears and reappears next to shukaku and kicks him into the tree behind him
"I'm much different than my friend shukaku you might not want to hold anything back" shukaku smiles and does some hand signs
"Looks like my jutsu is almost complete lets see how you fare against my true form" naruto just smiles and does a hand sign
"Shadow clone jutsu" they all charge at shukaku who begins destroying them quickly
"Ok take this" the remaining clones all begin to do hand signs
"Fire style multi fox flame barrage" a huge storm of flames head towards shukaku he tries to avoid it but get hit with the full force the clones all disappear and naruto smiles the smoke clears to show a heavily damaged shukaku
"Man that stung" naruto disappears and shukaku goes wide eyed when naruto appears in front of him with a blue sphere in his hand
"Rasengan" shukaku is hit in the gut with the rasengan and goes flying back into a tree and keeps going through several trees until he stops and falls to the ground
"Damn you actually had me there" shukaku begins to get up much to everyone's surprise
"But your to late my jutsu is complete now you face the real me" shukaku disappears into a puff of smoke and suddenly reappears as a giant sand raccoon
"Oh yeah im free lets party" he then begins destroying everything around him naruto goes over to me
"You have to get sasuke away from here I will handle this" I look at him
"How he's a giant were like flea's to him" naruto smiles
"I never thought I would have to use this jutsu but it looks like I have to" I look at him questioning him with my eyes he then bites both his thumbs and I go wide eyed
"Wait you know summoning jutsu" he nods
"Where did you learn that" he smiles again
"When I was training with my dad an old friend of his popped up he gave me a contract to sign and he even taught me the rasengan he is a good guy even if he is a big pervert" he laughs and slams his hand down on a the branch and a toad the size of a carriage appears
"Hey momo can you take these guys some where safe while I deal with shukaku" the toad nods and I put sasuke on its back and it hops away naruto looks at me
"There is no way im leaving you to deal with this guy on your own you might need some healing" he nod and bites his thumbs again
"Summoning jutsu" we are surrounded by smoke and when the smoke clears we are on top a giant toads head
"What the who has summoned me" the toad looks up and see's naruto
"Ah naruto my boy what can I do for you" naruto smiles and I stand there amazed at what he just did
"Hey gambunta can you help me take don shukaku over there we need to stop him before my friend dies" gambunta looks at shukaku
"Ah a clay possum jutsu It should be easy to take him down just get close to him and hit the kid that is hanging out of his head a good whack to wake him up and the jutsu will be dispelled ok" naruto nods and the toad look at me
"Naruto who is this" naruto chuckles
"Well gambunta this is my girlfriend ino" I wave hi to him
"Hi im ino" the toad smiles
"Im gambunta now that that's all out of the way lets get this done" we nod and he charges shukaku
"Sand bullet" shukaku shoots sand at us gambunta just smiles
"Water bullet" the sand and water bullets collide and cancel each other out creating a giant puff of smoke gambunta then unsheathes a giant knife and charges shukaku and cuts off one of his arms making the sand demon howl in pain
"Naruto that took a lot of my power to cut off his arm I can only stay another 5 min we have to finish this quickly" naruto nods and gets an idea
"If we can some how grab onto him I can get a good shot at gaara we need to do a transformation ok gambunta" gambunta nods and charges shukaku
"Hey ino watch this transformation jutsu" we are cover with smoke again and we are transformed into the ninetailed fox I begin to laugh at this as does naruto
"Good one huh" I nod and we collide with shukaku and naruto jumps into the air and aims for gaara
"TIME TO WKE UP GAARA" he then hits gaara on the head waking him up and dispelling the jutsu
"AW MAN AND I JUST GOT HERE" shukaku then begins to fall apart until it is just gaara who jumps to a nearby tree
"OK naruto the rest is up to you" naruto nods and gambunta disappears we both jump to a nearby tree across from gaara who just glares at us he then faints and begins to fall to the ground naruto catches him and sets him on the ground and lifts up his shirt and checks what looks like to be a seal he then wakes up gaara
"Gaara I can fix the seal temporarily do you want me to do it" gaara nods and naruto places a hand on gaara's stomach and fixes the seal suddenly temari and kankuro appear and go to attack naruto but are stopped by sand
"No leave him alone he was just helping me" they look at naruto and then at gaara then back at naruto gaara then gets up
"He fixed my seal temporally" naruto then tries to get up but falls to his knees everyone rushes over to him
"Damn that took more chakra out of me than I thought it would" we all nod
"Hey ino can you go get sakura" I nod and retrieve her and bring her back to naruto
"Gaara I have a friend that can perminitally fix your seal do you want to meet him" gaara just nods
"Lets go then" we all head back to the leaf village when sasuke appears in front of us with black flames covering his body again like in the forest of death naruto stops sasuke from killing gaara and explains everything sasuke just nods and the black flames disappear we all head towards the village together
I wish we knew what was going to happen next when we heard the bad news if only we knew how it would affect us all
